Upon hearing Yuan's words, it was as if a switch had been flipped inside their minds, snapping them back to their senses.
"He's right… We'd just be throwing away our lives at this point…"
Moreover, it was clear that Yuan had no intention of helping them.
Very quickly, the cultivators who had been there from the start began to retreat, abandoning the Hell Molten Eel, which remained bound by the formation.
Seeing this, the opposing faction shouted, "Don't let them escape! Hunt them down!"
But just as they surged forward to give chase, a figure silently appeared before them, like a ghost materializing from thin air.
After blocking them from the retreating cultivators, Yuan spoke in a cold voice, "I can't tell if you're bold or just stupid."
Upon hearing Yuan's voice, they realized that he was the one who had advised the others to run. However, when they saw that he was just a Bronze Immortal, they lowered their guard slightly.
