Luo Liu, standing beside them, nodded in agreement.
"Ranxi, this has nothing to do with whether you are a guest elder of the Luo Family. If the Evil Immortals want to resurrect the Evil God, they will surely try every possible method. Cultivation families like ours are naturally among their targets. Don't be so quick to draw a line between yourself and us. Even without you, they would not show mercy when they moved against the Luo Family."
Yun Chen found it difficult to voice an opinion on the matter. Menglan Jun had long since made up his mind: wherever Yunxi went, he would go. Once he was ready to break through, he would return to Mengxia Mountain Range and lie low. When the time came, he would shamelessly ask Yunxi to protect him again during his breakthrough. After reaching the ninth rank, he could continue tagging along with Yunxi. Perhaps he could even accumulate enough Merit to ascend to the God Realm ahead of time. In any case, he was determined to cling to Yunxi's thigh.
Yunxi had no idea that Menglan Jun had secretly mapped out a plan to stick to her. After hearing the words of the Luo Family's two elders, she did not bring the matter up again.

"Although the Grand Competition of the Five Regions has not officially begun, for us, the trial began the moment we left the Luo Family.
