Although Li Yan and Zhao Min still understood only the broad gist of Aini's words, his expression alone was enough for them to guess what he meant.
But Li Yan had no desire to linger and talk with them. He wanted to leave immediately and put some distance between them.
Just then, he suddenly felt Zhao Min's aura fluctuate slightly beside him.
"Junior brother, there are only thirty of them. Our spirit storage bags can hold them."
Li Yan frowned at Zhao Min's voice transmission.
"Senior sister, taking one side's story at face value could plunge us both into disaster in an instant."
"Cultivators cannot attack mortals, but isn't there a squad of blue-robed guards? We can capture a few and use Soul Search on them! If we can't help, we leave immediately!"
The strongest members of that squad of blue-robed guards were only at Foundation Establishment. Both of them had already confirmed this.
"I still think it's too risky. From what Aguxi said, these Tianlan cultivators clearly make a habit of toying with them.
What if a Nascent Soul Cultivator has been watching from the shadows all along? Right now, we would be mice beneath a cat's claws."
Li Yan still refused to intervene.
"It's simple. We fly straight away now. If a Tianlan Nascent Soul Cultivator really is watching from the shadows, he certainly won't let us go.
After all, we've had contact with the Giantwood Tribe. Wouldn't he fear us spreading word of what's happening here?
The Tianlan Tribe has been striking at these seven tribes in secret. They must have used other means to conceal it before, so naturally, what they fear most is having it exposed!"
The cultivation world's so-called separation of immortals and mortals meant that cultivators were forbidden from interfering in mortal affairs.
