Xue Wei and the others were not fools. How could they fail to foresee what kind of situation they would be in once Abyss truly took control of the entire Star Abyss?
Yet they still allowed themselves to be driven by Abyss, because they had no way to resist.
But since it was not voluntary, they naturally had their own calculations in mind—such as Xing Zhou's actions this time.
"Does Saint Si want to speak with him?" Lu Ye asked.
Si Shengya said, "Do you think that would work?"
Lu Ye pondered briefly, then slowly shook his head. "Xing Zhou may have some ideas of his own, but behind him stands an entire Golden-Eyed Race living in the Origin Realm. He did not make his intentions too obvious this time, which means he has reservations. Especially after our defeat and abandonment of the city, if we approach him now, he definitely will not state his position."
Si Shengya considered this upon hearing it, then nodded. "You're right. Xing Zhou is a very cautious man. Setting aside whether I would even have a chance to meet him alone, even if I did, given our current circumstances, he would be unwilling to join forces with us."
"So we need to find a way to create an advantage, one that leaves Xing Zhou with no concerns." A sharp gleam flashed through Lu Ye's eyes. "If we do that, we may have a chance of winning over this foremost Half-Saint!"
Their greatest problem right now was their shortage of powerful experts. They did have quite a few Half-Saints, but most of them were Dragon Race Half-Saints. One small trick from Abyss had completely erased that advantage. Those remaining were basically all newly advanced; the only truly well-established powerhouses were Lu Ye and Si Shengya.
