An absolute grand gesture. Chen Fei had not expected Pan Qingwu and Nie Shengyun to be willing to take out so many Merit Points.
It was equivalent to the Merit Points needed to exchange for an Emperor Sovereign inheritance. The two of them likely had that consideration in mind as well.
In terms of attitude, Pan Qingwu and Nie Shengyun had been impeccable, especially Pan Qingwu. As a disciple of Emperor Sovereign Dao Yue Peak, there were actually very few people who could move against him.
However, after recognizing Chen Fei's talent—and seeing that his talent had clearly caught the attention of the human race's upper echelons—there were only a few ways left to resolve the matter.
Pan Qingwu and Nie Shengyun ultimately chose the costlier but safer method.
Fifteen hundred Merit Points was a great deal, but if the two gritted their teeth, they could still gather them. Of course, the losses would be severe, and their cultivation would certainly be affected.
When weighing the two evils, they chose the lesser. This was undoubtedly the best method.
Since he had already bowed his head, Pan Qingwu simply saw things through to the end. He released most of the Star Sect members who had been imprisoned, including Zhan Xuming.
The information Tianhai City had ultimately tracked down through a secret technique pointed to an extremely, extremely distant place. It was suspected that the person had already defected to another race.
No matter what, there was little point in continuing to imprison the Star Sect members.
Zhan Xuming had shown Chen Fei some kindness, so Pan Qingwu simply returned the favor this way.
Chen Fei watched the backs of Pan Qingwu and Nie Shengyun, his gaze faintly rippling.
This was one of the benefits brought by displaying his talent within Qiankun
