Chapter 1414 - Mockery
Liu Wuxie's voice didn't carry far on its own, yet it spread across thousands of miles. The entire Auspicious Cloud Hall functioned as a spiritual array, and if the Heavenly Dragon Sect ever faced a foreign invasion, the hall could immediately serve as the array's core. With the array's support, even a soft voice could reach every ear present.
Yi Shanhe sank into contemplation as Liu Wuxie's answer echoed again and again in his soul sea. Threads of enlightenment surfaced in his heart, and many experts at the summit turned their gazes toward Liu Wuxie, eager to see him clearly. Even cultivators at the Heaven Gaze Realm could not have offered a more concise answer.
"What an exquisite reply. I can feel the cultivation stirring, and I seem to have grasped something," exclaimed an Earth Immortal as he stood abruptly. His aura surged, and right before everyone's eyes, he broke through on the spot, stepping into the fourth-level Earth Immortal Realm.
All of that came from a single, short answer from Liu Wuxie. Even Hua Feiyu couldn't help the flicker of shock that passed through his eyes as he finally realized he had still underestimated his disciple. When he first proposed taking Liu Wuxie in, everyone knew it was primarily to grant him protective status.
More and more people began to ponder Liu Wuxie's words, and the deeper they delved, the more profound they found them. Their view of Liu Wuxie shifted almost instantly.
Jian Yiming remained seated without moving, but Pei Hong frowned, looking as though he wanted to argue against Liu Wuxie's answer. Song Siqi, however, just like Jian Yiming, had fallen into deep thought, slowly savoring every word.
"That brat isn't simple," Song Siqi said at last, letting out a slow breath. Even he had gained considerable insight from that response.
"Senior brother, don't tell me that you're also going to praise an outsider to belittle yourself? He's just spouting bullshit," Pei Hong grumbled, feeling that his senior brother demeaned himself by acknowledging Liu Wuxie.
"Junior brother, don't belittle him. If we're not enemies, I might even seek him out personally to ask him a few questions," Song Siqi replied through voice transmission.
They stood on opposite sides, yet even Song Siqi had to admit Liu Wuxie's answer forced him to reassess his opponent. The outside world might say Liu Wuxie had survived and turned the tables time and again purely by luck, but after hearing him speak, they understood that luck alone could never explain it. They had no choice but to admit Liu Wuxie was genuinely extraordinary.
Once or twice could be written off as a coincidence, but having fortune always favor the same man was anything but normal.
"Your senior brother is right. That kid isn't simple," Jian Yiming added when he saw that Pei Hong still wanted to argue.
