"He may not directly hand us over to the Dharma Sect; I guess the probability of handing us to the Blood Sect where the Yin Temple High Priest resides is higher. But it doesn't matter; after all, the final result will be the same."
The interaction over time had made Yang Xiao lower his guard against the Esoteric Sect. Now, calming down and reflecting, he realized Professor Cui's concerns were valid. The Dharma Sect consisted of lawless people, and the Esoteric Sect, able to rival them, was surely no group of good people either.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Xiao shook his head. "But now, we cannot bypass the Esoteric Sect to send messages back home. If they find out, it will only bring disaster upon ourselves."
In response, Professor Cui was very candid, nodding his head. "That's natural. I'm saying this just to make you wary. You are not alone now; we are all behind you."
