That's pretty much what happened to Lani during that day. He lost the battle and the trade route, but he gained... a new friend? Even Jojle Carsul, the representative of Thakulo Universe from where Tixan was from, didn't know what to say.
They received the recordings of the battle and were taken aback by Lani's power. He lost to Phantom Blade in the end, but none of them had any confidence to force Tixan to use even half of the power they saw. The weird thing was that Tixan seemed to have a liking for Lani, so the two left together after the battle was over.
"Krune, Lani, Liriu... All of them were far above in power than any common cultivator or demon beast. The worst thing is that neither Krune nor Liriu is at the Peak of the Divinity Realm yet, so their power will increase even more."
Olave nodded.
"That's why I think we shouldn't get involved. Besides, there's one main point you're all forgetting about."
Olave's words caught everyone's interest.
