"What do you mean?" Kong Tianji and the female alchemist beside him both changed expression.
"Patriarch, wasn't it agreed that we were merely inviting the other party here to refine pills?" Kong Rou had not expected things to suddenly turn out this way, and subconsciously wanted to dissuade the patriarch. After all, this move amounted to luring Lu Xiaotian in under false pretenses, which was a grave desecration of a Grade-Five Pill Saint.
As a Pill Saint, Kong Rou did not wish for Lu Xiaotian to be treated in this manner, but matters had already developed to a point where she could no longer stop them.
"It means precisely what it sounds like. A small number of powerhouses in the Sky-Shadow Clan indeed possess the ability to resist that strange aura within the Demise-Demon Death Realm, but the vast majority of our clansmen must rely on this stable, special environment.
Once this secret realm is shattered, apart from the very few who can escape, everyone else will undoubtedly die. If things really come to that pass, do not blame me for not warning you in advance."
Lu Xiaotian took his time. The Sky-Shadow Clan was formidable, and even though he had not met the patriarch Kong Tianji before coming here, that did not prevent Lu Xiaotian from making certain assumptions about it.
The other party had shown a certain degree of goodwill, and fellows like Kongtong had treated him with utmost reverence along the way. However, had Lu Xiaotian been satisfied with such superficial respect, he would have died countless times over under the Immortal World's pursuit, and how could he have grown stronger with every battle to live until now?
Since he had come, Lu Xiaotian was not afraid of the other party turning on him at any moment.
