The man in the blue shirt pondered briefly, then nodded and said, "Alright!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them quickly headed forward without any hesitation.

Meanwhile, Ji Haoyuan, who was inside the Kunwu Cyan Dragon Array, also noticed the approach of Elder Dust Brush and the man in the blue shirt.

This immediately made his expression turn grim.

They are actually two Golden Core True Men!

This was certainly something he hadn't expected.

Logically speaking, the Heaven-Piercing Valley is quite a remote location.

Moreover, it's close to the Demon Race's territory.

Under normal circumstances, aside from the cultivators who are already intent on hunting demon beasts, it's rare for anyone to set foot here, let alone exalted Golden Core True Men.

But today.

Two Golden Core True Men have come, not just one.

Luckily, I have already set up the Kunwu Cyan Dragon Array here, otherwise, facing two Golden Core True Men directly, Ji Haoyuan wouldn't have much confidence.

It was then that he heard the voices of the two outside the Kunwu Cyan Dragon Array.

"I am Lou Chuanhai, accompanied by Daoist Chu Tenglong, here to pay our respects. May we inquire who is present here, and would it be convenient for you to come out for a chat?"

Lou Chuanhai? Chu Tenglong?

Upon hearing the names they reported, Ji Haoyuan had no impression of them.

Moreover, they only mentioned their names without giving any background, which already lacked sincerity.

This move likely had more of a probing intent.

Especially since he was the only Foundation Establishment cultivator present.

No matter how he responded, it seemed inappropriate.

Therefore.

At this moment, Ji Haoyuan simply pretended he hadn't heard anything and didn't respond at all.

This made Lou Chuanhai and Chu Tenglong outside the array frown slightly.

The other party's lack of response could only indicate two things.

Either the other party simply didn't want to deal with them.

Or the other party didn't dare to respond casually.

If it were the former, so be it.

But if it were the latter, it implied that the true owner of this place might not be present.

A rare third-level spiritual land is hard to come by, and if they could take advantage of the owner's absence…

A strange look involuntarily flashed in their eyes at this moment.

However, they were also aware that someone who could set up such a third-level array here must possess extraordinary means.

Especially since earlier, a third-level demon beast had occupied this place.

If they wanted to take action, they had to be extremely cautious.

With this in mind, Lou Chuanhai said,

"To be honest, I have been here before and know that there was a third-level Moon-Worshipping Silver Wolf here.

This time, we planned to join forces with Daoist Chu to drive away that beast.

Unexpectedly, you accomplished this before us, which is indeed worthy of congratulations.

May we know your name and would it be convenient for us to visit you?"

These words were impeccable.

They pointed out their understanding of this place while also indicating their stance.

Normally, as fellow cultivators of the same realm, if you have spoken to this extent, even out of courtesy, you wouldn't keep them at bay.

But the problem was.

The current situation was not ordinary.

Inside the array, Ji Haoyuan was the only Foundation Establishment cultivator.

How could he let two unknown Golden Core True Men in?

But he knew that if things continued like this without any plan, he would only fall into disadvantage.

With this in mind, Ji Haoyuan decided to speak to the two,

"Ah, it is Elder Lou and Elder Chu who have graced us with your presence.

I was in closed-door cultivation earlier. If there were any neglect, I ask for your understanding."

There was no other way.

Since he hadn't responded immediately, as a "junior" at the Foundation Establishment level, he needed to provide an excuse.

Soon, Ji Haoyuan continued, "I must apologize to you, honored seniors. My sister had some matters and left temporarily.

If you both wish, you can leave a Communication Jade Talisman. When my sister returns, I will inform her, and you can visit again then."

At this point, he had to bring up someone with real backing.

And it had to be someone truly close.

Otherwise, who would take you seriously if you were just an average person?

Lou Chuanhai and Chu Tenglong exchanged glances.

Was it true that there really was no Golden Core cultivator guarding this third-level spiritual land?

Did they have a chance to compete for it?

In the current situation, an ownerless third-level spiritual land was all too rare.

For two loose cultivators who had clawed their way up from the bottom, nobody knew better than them how significant such a spiritual land could be.

It's no exaggeration to say that this was their foundation for the future.

However, the array before them seemed quite extraordinary.

Plus, the person inside had already mentioned there was a Golden Core cultivator backing them.

If they took action now, while the person was absent, it would undoubtedly lead to a death feud.

They were quite wary of the sister Ji Haoyuan mentioned.

To be able to drive away a third-level demon beast, such a person was not someone they could handle alone.

What to do? Should they make a move on this place?

Lou Chuanhai and Chu Tenglong each struggled internally.

This was also a characteristic of those from a loose cultivator background.

Before taking any action, they would weigh the pros and cons as much as possible.

If they didn't have more than 50% certainty of success, they wouldn't act rashly.

Yet, a third-level spiritual land was something they had sought for too long.

If they missed this chance, who knew how much longer it would take to find something similar?

At worst, they could just stay here.

After all, securing such a spiritual land would be enough for them to cultivate for a long time.

Remembering this, a hint of ruthlessness appeared in both of their eyes.

But outwardly, they did not reveal anything.

Chu Tenglong then laughed and said, "I see, it seems we were a bit presumptuous.

However, we greatly admire the fellow Daoist who drove away the Moon-Worshipping Silver Wolf.

Could you let us stay inside and wait for your sister's return?"

As soon as he said this, Ji Haoyuan, inside the array, felt his heart sink.

He was not foolish.

Their words indicated that they had no intention of leaving.

And they had some improper ideas about this now unattended spiritual land.

Knowing this, Ji Haoyuan decided not to respond.

He had already explained the situation clearly.

If they still insisted on coming in, their intentions were more than clear.

Ignorirng them wouldn't be considered impolite either.
