Chapter 1150 - Escape Route
The Immortal Slaughter Palace controlled Anlu Star. This planet's teleportation array activated only during the monthly astral stone transport.
Liu Wuxie and He Yingwu had no hope of leaving Anlu Star by strength alone. If brute force failed, they would rely on cunning.
Liu Wuxie knew that without resources, he couldn't reach the Transcendent Realm even in a few years. He didn't worry about cultivation methods or martial techniques—he had plenty stored in his mind. But time pressed him. He needed to find the Heavenly Dragon Sect as soon as possible.
The True Martial Continent could last another ten years at most. He couldn't afford to wait. If he failed to establish the Astral Domain Path by then, everyone he loved would perish.
"Senior, tell me. How can we leave Anlu Star?" Liu Wuxie asked, eyes gleaming with hope. As long as a sliver of chance existed, he would give it everything.
He Yingwu scanned the surroundings and lowered his voice once he confirmed that everyone had fallen asleep.
Without the ability to extend their divine sense, they had to speak aloud.
"First, we could try bribing the guards to smuggle us out," he whispered, "But we're nobodies, so that's unlikely to work."
Some slaves managed to bribe guards to hide in stone carts during monthly shipments. Some succeeded, but the price to pay was steep.
Many slaves were once powerful cultivators whom others had betrayed and sold as slaves. Occasionally, they could sway a guard by revealing their identity. Neither Liu Wuxie nor He Yingwu possessed fame or treasure, so this method seemed impossible for both of them.
"What's the second option?" Liu Wuxie asked, discarding the risky plan.
Approaching a guard risked exposure or even execution. Without absolute certainty, he refused to consider it.
