"Huo Lian, just how confident are you that you can fool their Ancestor?" Wu Xuancang asked.
"Wu Xuancang, I think you've lost your head. How confident do you think I am?" Huo Lian said.
"Huo Lian, this concerns all our lives. We still need to treat it with caution," Zuo Qiu Shu said with a sigh.
"I know," Huo Lian said. "I was taking a gamble when I said that. Although we've kept them at bay for now, how could I have any confidence about what comes next? We don't even know how strong their Ancestor is."
"Then what do we do?" Leng Guhan asked.
He was deeply unwilling to accept this. He had come here full of ambition, hoping to improve his strength.
If he died before even reaching the other side of the sea, wouldn't that be far too miserable an end?
"I don't think we can keep this hidden," Huang Xiao said.
Huang Xiao's words left everyone silent.
In fact, Huang Xiao knew they all had an answer in their hearts.
Just as he had said, they certainly couldn't fool the other side's Ancestor.
Leaving aside how powerful the other party was, their own understanding of the Desolate Domain barely scratched the surface.
When the time came, a few casual questions would expose holes everywhere in their story.
Yet deep down, everyone still yearned for that tiny glimmer of hope.
"We'll take it one step at a time," Huo Lian said with a long sigh. "If they really want to kill us, we won't let ourselves be taken without a fight."
"Exactly." Wu Xuancang's expression turned cold. "We have to make them pay a price."
"This feeling is rather unpleasant," Tan Ming sighed.
"Not having control over whether you live or die-how could that possibly feel good?"
