Saint Chenwu and the others smiled faintly. They knew who Fang Chen meant by "those particular people." After all, the Glazed Sword Sect was now the sworn enemy of the bald donkeys from the Western Regions and the Ye Family. Nearly every powerful cultivator in the Human Race knew about it.
Weaker cultivators paid no attention to such matters. People at different levels cared about different things.
Saint Chenwu asked Fang Chen, "Fellow Daoist Fang Chen, where is Brother Huo Li? Didn't he come to the Sacred Land with you?"
Saint Chenwu and Fire Glazed Saint were good friends. They had once roamed the Sacred Land together, and now that he had returned, he naturally wanted to see Fire Glazed Saint again.
Fang Chen smiled. "Senior Huo Li came to the Sacred Land with us, but we found an ancient ruin, and he encountered an opportunity there. He stayed behind to cultivate in seclusion. Even we can't reach him now!"
"I see. That's wonderful!"
Saint Chenwu looked delighted to hear that Fire Glazed Saint had found an opportunity.
Fang Chen asked him, "Why were you among the first to board the Azure Sea Divine Boat? And if I remember correctly, even the fastest voyage from the Barbaric Continent to the Sacred Land takes seventy years. It hasn't been seventy years since we arrived, so how did you get here already?"
When he had seen Moon Saint and the others earlier, Fang Chen had overlooked the question. Only now did he think to ask Saint Chenwu.
Saint Chenwu smiled. "Now, that's an interesting story. After the North Nether Sect brought your group to the Sacred Land, they found an injured Kun on the return voyage. They took pity on it and saved it. To repay them, the Kun decided to help.
