When Tengxi raised his hand to divine the situation, his concentration was at its peak, and he was ready to bolt at any moment.
After all, he only wanted to make some extra money, not rush headlong to his death.
But after a quick calculation, he was a little surprised: Tianli was actually on the Rouzhao No. 5 sector!
That made things interesting. In theory, if Tianli intended to make a move against him, this was not how he should have arranged it.
It was unsuitable for Tengxi to make a public move on a habitable sector, and Tianli faced the same problem.
A covert strike would not matter much, as long as they were not caught red-handed, but once the two of them clashed, it would definitely turn into an all-out fight.
But the next moment, his heart sank slightly. Not good. He might have fallen into a trap!
If the other side had arranged for other True Venerables to block his retreat, this setup made perfect sense too.
Yet immediately after, a trace of hesitation arose in Tengxi's heart again. Could this be the other side making a mystery of things on purpose, trying to scare me off?
The two had been matching wits and courage for far more than thirty or fifty years. What sort of methods had they not used?
