Before the Star Boat approached Wuding, Lu Ye noticed someone secretly watching from afar. Kang Cheng must have returned to Wuding after escaping earlier and told them of his ordeal, so they had already gone on alert here.
The ones who came to scout them out were Moon Jade Realm cultivators. Hua Sheng inwardly groaned, praying only that everything would go smoothly. If the talks fell apart and they tore off all pretenses, no matter what became of Lu Ye's side, Red Sky would have a hard time in the future.
Red Sky's situation was already far from good. It could only cling to Wuding and survive by watching Wuding Realm's every breath. If it were saddled with the charge of colluding with the enemy as well, the Wuding cultivators would have no way out.
They continued onward until they reached the near space of Wuding Realm, where a row of figures finally blocked their path. The leader was none other than Kang Cheng.
His face was somewhat pale, clearly related to the injuries he had suffered a few days ago. However, his shattered arm had already regrown. For a Moon Jade Realm cultivator, this was no difficult matter—one merely had to pay a certain price.
Besides Kang Cheng, there were five other Moon Jade Realm cultivators, men and women alike. Every one of them possessed a powerful aura, displaying Wuding's considerable foundation.
And this was clearly not all of Wuding's Moon Jade Realm cultivators.
On the way, Lu Ye had asked Hua Sheng about Wuding Realm's strength. He learned that Wuding had three Sunlight cultivators in total, but two of them traveled abroad year-round and rarely revealed their whereabouts. Thus, only one Sunlight cultivator remained to hold down the realm. He was also Wuding Realm's Realm Master, Jiang Shang.
