From last night until now, he had become certain of one thing: he was here because of that so-called "disjointed poison body." It reminded him of Strategist Ji's "pig-raising plan." Could this "disjointed poison body" also be intended as some sort of sacrifice for someone else? The thought rose unbidden in his mind. Otherwise, why would several groups of people have all mentioned it? That reason alone made him want to flee this place.
How could Li Yan believe what Li Wuyi said? Seeing the doubt on Li Yan's face, Li Wuyi sighed inwardly. Junior Brother Li really is pitiful. He's already at the second level of the Qi Condensation Stage, yet he doesn't even know the most basic common knowledge. It seems he really was only being used to absorb spiritual energy. Once he'd served his purpose, he could be left to die.
"Junior Brother Li, I know some things are hard for you to believe, but that is how the cultivation world works. Its power is not something you can understand the moment you enter an immortal sect. Besides, even if you want to return, how could you get back now? Your hometown is a million li away, and four days have already passed since those events. If the Meng Kingdom you mentioned intended to attack, it would have done so already. Besides, they truly wouldn't dare attack.
"First, you cultivated the immortal arts of our Wangliang Sect. You admit that, don't you? So you cannot leave the sect.
"Second, even if the higher-ups allowed you to leave, how would you get back? Beyond the sect lie mountains and towering ridges, with high-tier demon beasts everywhere. With your current magical power, even facing a first-tier demon beast would mean nine chances of death and only one of survival.
