Life and death remained unknown!
Some, however, did not abandon hope and comforted the female disciples beside them, saying, "Don’t worry, the Elders will surely come to save us."
With his reassurance, hope reignited in a few hearts.
The light of hope pierced through the darkness and illuminated their hearts.
"Yes! The Hong Ye Sect is not a place you can come and go as you please!"
"They will surely die!"
The few gritted their teeth, glaring at the wooden cabin door, as if their gaze could penetrate the door and see Wen Ping on the deck.
Outside, Wen Ping heard the commotion inside but showed no intention of acknowledging it.
People.
Until they’ve despaired several times, they always think there’s hope.
Beside Wen Ping, the Wood Dragon transformed into an elderly man with a green beard, indifferently watching the exit of the Boundless, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have a grudge with the Hong Ye Sect?"
"Then who will you help?"
Wen Ping recalled that the Wood Dragon still had a promise to the Hong Ye Sect.
The Wood Dragon immediately replied without thinking, "They are a bunch of greedy folks. The promise from thousands of years ago should be discarded. As a True Dragon, I refuse to be anyone’s prey forever, so starting today, I am loyal only to those who can help me regain my power."
Wen Ping did not respond.
The Wood Dragon’s words were clear, indicating he wouldn’t assist the Hong Ye Sect but also wouldn’t help him at this moment.
This was a very tactful approach.
Advance and retreat with ease.
But Wen Ping didn’t like it!
Expecting returns without giving anything?
How could such good things exist in the world?
Wen Ping said, "Wood Dragon, taking you away from the Boundless to regain your power, I’m helping you, but you must understand, I can also choose not to help."
The Wood Dragon abruptly turned and stared at Wen Ping’s half-smiling face.
He didn’t know much about this person but sensed Wen Ping’s displeasure from those words.
The arrogance rooted in Wood Dragon’s bones urged him to leave.
He was not a Demon that submitted to the Human Race!
But the desire to survive held him back.
If he left, it wouldn’t take long for him to become prey in human eyes, dying with even less dignity.
After a hundred breaths of staring, the Wood Dragon withdrew his gaze.
Indeed.
He seemed to have misunderstood.
The other party didn’t need him much, but he needed this person’s help desperately.
Then, the Wood Dragon solemnly declared, "If you promise to help me, I will clear any obstacles in your path!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Ping’s lips curled into a slight smile, which quickly vanished.
Ultimately, he won the bet.
The proud spirit of the Dragon Race wasn’t able to overcome its hope for survival.
At this moment, the Flying Ship was near the Boundless exit. Before it began to descend, the Wood Dragon hurriedly warned, "There are people outside the Boundless!"
"Many people!"
The Wood Dragon emphasized.
Upon hearing this, Lan Shu and the others’ expressions suddenly changed.
After exchanging glances, they couldn’t help but start feeling anxious.
Have we been discovered?
At this moment, Wen Ping didn’t show much change, still a bit excited, "So what if there are people? A True Dragon, how could it be afraid?"
The Wood Dragon immediately shook his head, "I am a True Dragon, why would I fear the Human Race?"
"Then let’s meet them."
This time, Wen Ping didn’t let the Flying Ship dive.
He followed the Curved Realm Water, slowly passing through the exit, leaving the steep stone walls.
As he exited the Curved Realm, a tremendous roar of anger immediately attacked him.
"You brazen scoundrel!"
