Lu Xiaotian listened inwardly with a start, and at the same time felt a bit fortunate. It was a blessing that he had retreated in time, for it turned out that so many people on the side of the Hongting Celestial Court had already locked their eyes on the Sangyue Battle Array. If he had continued to mingle in the battlefield with the Sangyue Battle Array and encountered Golden Immortal-level powerhouses from the Hongting Celestial Court, there was no telling when a trace or clue might have been exposed.
At this moment, Lu Xiaotian inevitably felt a bit apprehensive as well, wondering if he had fallen into the eyes of the Celestial Court's Golden Immortal-level powerhouses. If that were truly the case, his coming to Nine Central City would simply be walking right into a trap, making it impossible to sprout wings and escape.
Yet, immediately afterward, Lu Xiaotian reflected that the Celestial Court shouldn't have locked onto him quite that quickly yet. After all, compared to the level of Golden Immortals, even the Sangyue Battle Array was still a great deal lower. Besides, he had been influenced by the aura of the heavenly mulberry sacred tree at the time, and had linked as one with the Sangyue Battle Array. Even a Golden Immortal-level powerhouse would not find it so easy to identify him.
Still, retreating early had ultimately been a wise move. Otherwise, dragging it out any further would make accidents all too likely.
