"Sigh. We're all just trying to make our way out here. Is all this fighting and killing really necessary?"
Yet, even after hearing the man announce his affiliation, Xiao Chen showed no hint of alarm.
He began to speak, his voice unhurried. "Since you recognize me, why not do me a favor and back away?"
Mei Zhanpeng's brow furrowed at his words.
He was reluctant to let this Dao Crystal go.
After all, he had fought hard against his fellow disciples for the chance to enter the Cangran Secret Realm.
Besides, only a handful of Dao Crystals ever appeared each time the Secret Realm opened.
If he let this one go, he and his companion might not find another.
At this thought, Mei Zhanpeng opened his mouth. He wanted to try using the Sword Pavilion's reputation to intimidate Xiao Chen into backing down.
However, before he could voice the thought, a warning came through a voice transmission from his companion.
