As Gong Shaoqing's words fell, Xia Zhiqing and the others nodded in agreement. "Alright, you all need to be extra careful," Xia Zhiqing said.
"You too," Gong Shaoqing replied in a deep voice.
Their group was already small in number, and now they were divided into two teams, making them even fewer. If other cultivators were to cause trouble, their situation would be more dangerous.
"We will," Xia Zhiqing assured.
Seeing this, Gong Shaoqing and Dongfang Yu exchanged a glance and immediately helped Mo Yunjue up and headed back to the city.
Fortunately, their performance in the ruins had been impressive, and some cultivators were intimidated by their strength, so they shouldn't actively seek trouble.
However, just as Gong Shaoqing and the others were preparing to leave, cultivators from the Qinrun Dynasty and Wanyun Dynasty approached them.
"Dongfang Gongzi, it's very dangerous for you to be alone now. Why don't we escort you back to the city together? This way, we can ensure everyone's safety," Pan Zimo said with a friendly smile. He had already become friends with Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others.
Now that the cultivators from the Tiangang Dynasty were in trouble, he naturally couldn't stand by and do nothing.
Besides, with Mo Yunjue's identity, he naturally had to take good care of him.
Having the opportunity to establish a closer relationship with cultivators of such status was a good thing in his eyes.
Ordinary cultivators probably wouldn't have had such an opportunity. Pan Zimo believed that both Mo Yunjue and Bai Li Hongzhuang would remember his favor.
Dong Hongyun walked to the side of Xia Zhiqing and the others and said, "Why don't we wait here together for Miss Baili to come out? There are still many cultivators nearby who are not giving up. It's very dangerous for you four to stay here alone."
As Dong Hongyun said, many cultivators were reluctant to leave the Sky Ladder and hoped to reenter the ruins to continue cultivating on the ladder.
And as a member of their team, it was widely known that Bai Li Hongzhuang was a cultivator. There might be cultivators taking advantage of their small numbers to attack them. They had to be cautious in case something really happened.
Xia Zhiqing and the others exchanged glances. Although they had been in a hostile relationship with the cultivators from the Qinrun Dynasty before, Dong Hongyun's behavior had been friendly, so he probably wouldn't do anything harmful to them.
Seeing Xia Zhiqing and the others hesitating, Pan Zimo couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, Dong Hongyun has no ill intentions."
With Bai Li Hongzhuang's status, if Dong Hongyun harbored any evil thoughts, he would be seeking his own death.
With Pan Zimo's words, Dong Hongyun glanced at him, not expecting that at this critical moment, Pan Zimo would actually help clarify the situation.
However, upon closer consideration, although they had still not been friendly towards each other on the Sky Ladder, it was undoubtedly much better than their previous animosity.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhixin nodded and said, "Thank you, Dong Gongzi."
They were not foolish. With the strength of the cultivators from the Qinrun Dynasty, if they really wanted to attack, there was no need for pretense. They could directly make a move, and they wouldn't stand a chance.
Therefore, the only possibility for Dong Hongyun and the others' help was that it came from genuine concern.
Seeing Yuan Zhixin and the others accepting their help, smiles appeared on the faces of the cultivators from the Qinrun Dynasty.
"It's the least we can do," Dong Hongyun said with a smile.
