Chapter 1402 - Cooperation
Sun Xiao wasn't the slightest bit surprised to be recognized. He released his aura without restraint and said calmly, "I am. How dare you hunt my junior brother! You can all die here!"
"Sun Xiao, we have four experts at the Earth Immortal Realm, and you only have two. We might not necessarily lose in a fight against you two," Shi Yuan said, though his tone no longer carried the same overbearing edge as before. If his opponent had been any other Earth Immortal, he would have dared to gamble, but this time, he faced Sun Xiao, the Heavenly Dragon Sect's chief disciple.
The confrontation fell into a stalemate. With Sun Xiao's breakthrough to the Earth Immortal Realm, both sides now stood on more even ground with four against two. However, Shi Yuan's side still had many experts at the pinnacle of the Void Realm, and on the surface, they still held the advantage.
Even so, Sun Xiao had already reached the second-level Earth Immortal Realm and was the chief disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's sect master. Aside from the dozen or so experts from the Grand Unity Sect, the other cultivators on that side had no desire to make an enemy out of Sun Xiao.
"Elder Shi, can you hear me out?" Liu Wuxie cut in just as Sun Xiao was about to speak.
Sun Xiao immediately looked over in curiosity, wanting to know what his junior brother intended to say.
No one present dared to look down on Liu Wuxie anymore. Back in the sevenfold heaven, he had toyed with all of them. Nearly seven thousand people had entered, yet only a few hundred remained alive.
"Speak," Shi Yuan said, waving his hand impatiently.
"I believe everyone knows that this place is called Celestial Immortal Star by now. This planet is inhabited by the loulan race, and it's difficult for humans like us to survive. Doesn't everyone want to go back home?" Liu Wuxie asked, sweeping his gaze across the crowd.
Everyone fell silent at his words, each lost in thought. They all knew this planet belonged to the loulan race and that returning would not be easy. If they ended up trapped here for life, killing Liu Wuxie would do them no good.
Even the elders of the Grand Unity Sect fell silent. If they couldn't return to the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain, then their loyalty to the sect would lose all meaning. The sect would never know, even if they killed Liu Wuxie.
"Liu Wuxie, what are you trying to say?" asked the Earth Immortal who had attacked Liu Wuxie earlier; his name was Luan Xiuwen.
