"If I remember correctly, the Three Thousand Burning Flame is a reward for the top ten in this Pill Gathering, isn't it?" Liu Yu chuckled. He had more or less figured out what Xuan Kongzi and the others were thinking...
"With you entering the Pill Gathering, its champion is already beyond doubt. Subduing it now or later makes no difference."
Xuan Kongzi smiled. Even if Liu Yu failed to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame, they could still forge a friendly connection with this suspected ninth-tier alchemist...
"Then I would be remiss to refuse." Liu Yu dispensed with further courtesies. The Three Thousand Burning Flame would fall into his hands sooner or later anyway.
Hearing this, Xuan Kongzi and the other two exchanged glances. Without further hesitation, their hand seals changed at lightning speed, and powerful soul fluctuations spread from their bodies.
Amid the spatial ripples, a pale silver gate slowly appeared in this stretch of Void Space.
"The Star Domain is open. The three of us must maintain its seal, so we won't accompany you inside..."
Xuan Kongzi looked at Liu Yu and spoke softly.
"Sorry for the trouble, all three of you."
Liu Yu nodded and stepped straight through the spatial gate, his figure vanishing in an instant.
Once Liu Yu disappeared, Xuan Yi could not help asking, "Is this really appropriate? If he has ill intentions and destroys the seal on the Three Thousand Burning Flame, Sacred Pill City will suffer..."
"I don't think he would do such a thing. Even if we didn't open the spatial gate to the Star Domain for him, he has already sensed the Three Thousand Burning Flame's location. If he truly wanted to force his way inside, there would be nothing we could do, unless..."
Tian Leizi addressed Xuan Yi.
"Indeed.
