A sharp gleam bloomed in Xuan Ji's eyes. He remembered.
But this was the Desolate Heaven Domain. He would not believe that a Celestial Venerable bearing the title of peerless evil cultivator would help him out of sheer kindness.
When he had spoken of leading the entire sect into Tian Shu Holy Land, he had already prepared to fight until fish died and the net tore. He would rather wage war to win the sect a sliver of survival than be schemed against in the future.
"Xuan Ji, leading the entire sect into Tian Shu Holy Land now is likely not a wise move. Let your fury rage for a while if it must, but do not lead these disciples to their deaths."
Chen Xun's expression gradually calmed as he pondered. "The immortal path is not easy, and a sect is hard to come by."
He spoke a little more. He had seen everything that had happened over the past few days, and ripples inevitably stirred within his heart.
"Senior, you do not know this. The enmity between Tian Shu Holy Land and my sect is not so simple. Since we dare attack the holy land, our sect has its own trump cards."
A measure of respect appeared in Xuan Ji's eyes as he explained, "This matter also involves another Celestial Venerable of Tian Shu Holy Land. We are not acting recklessly, nor are we merely venting our anger."
"Oh..."
Chen Xun smiled faintly. "Since this is a private matter between your two sides, This Seat will not interfere. I have spoken too much."
"Xuan Ji owes you a life."
"You and I owe each other nothing. There is no need for you to do anything for me."
"Senior, you..."
"Hehe, I'm leaving. If fate allows, we will meet again."
