Chapter 1403 - Scouting
In addition to the blood fiends, the group marched on and returned to the cave half a day later. Upon seeing their return, Bu Wenxing, who had been patrolling, rushed over.
"Senior Brother, you've made your breakthrough to the Earth Immortal Realm?!" Bu Wenxing exclaimed in shock.
Since Sun Xiao made his breakthrough to the Earth Immortal Realm, this meant that he had fulfilled his vow by hunting one million blood fiends. Even after they came to the Celestial Immortal Star, Sun Xiao hadn't stopped hunting blood fiends.
"Yeah," Sun Xiao replied.
When everyone emerged from the cave, nearly a thousand cultivators stood in the open. Some were called out by their companions when Liu Wuxie and Sun Xiao had gone out to search for more cultivators.
"Everyone, please quiet down!" Liu Wuxie called out.
Though there were close to a thousand people, not a single one had reached the Earth Immortal Realm. However, with the addition of the four Earth Immortals Liu Wuxie brought back, the group quickly became the center of attention. With these powerful allies, they had a much better chance at returning home.
"This is the chief disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's sect master, Sun Xiao. I believe everyone has heard of his name before. We gathered everyone here on purpose—to save the captives and return to the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain," Liu Wuxie said, pushing his senior brother to the front.
As the only cultivator at the second-level Earth Immortal Realm, Sun Xiao naturally became the leader. Liu Wuxie, then, would focus on strategizing.
Exclamations of awe erupted from the crowd upon learning of Sun Xiao's identity. Though some hadn't seen him in person, no one had failed to hear of him. Those who had come to the Blood Fiend Battlefield had certainly heard of Sun Xiao's vow to hunt one million blood fiends.
Sun Xiao raised his hands to calm the crowd.
"We're here with the same goal. Since everyone has chosen to work with me, I expect everyone to follow my requests, even if it means charging ahead. If anyone regrets it now, you're welcome to leave," he said, releasing his aura at the second-level Earth Immortal Realm. The pressure was overwhelming for all who felt it.
