"Renewing old ties?"
Yet upon hearing this, several high-ranking Human Realm cultivators who were quite close to Farmer Woodcutter instantly wore uncertain expressions.
But soon, after Duan Jiu's lips moved slightly and he spoke to remind them, the expressions of these high-ranking Human Realm cultivators eased somewhat. They nodded faintly in agreement.
For regardless of whether they were truly "renewing old ties," Wei Tu's current strength had already reached a point where they had no choice but to take him seriously—and even remain wary and apprehensive of him.
Using the name of the Human Realm to send a signal that they would shelter Wei Tu could not only ease their relationship with him, but would also not prevent them from continuing to hunt him internally and guard against him...
In other words, this was also a method of secretly crossing at Chencang.
Even if Wei Tu truly attained the Mahayana Realm someday, with this bond of friendship, they could still meet amicably and speak of old ties.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, this is already the greatest benefit Duan can secure for you... I hope you can truly attain the Mahayana Realm in the future..." At this moment, after persuading the high-ranking Human Realm cultivators, Duan Jiu sighed faintly to himself in secret.
Unlike Farmer Woodcutter and the others, although he was Iron-Headed Ascetic's disciple and also a fellow disciple of these "high-ranking Human Realm cultivators," he was a Fusion cultivator who had risen to prominence only within the last ten thousand years... He was not one of the sealed "Human Realm foundations" like Farmer Woodcutter and Purple-Faced Daoist.
