The four members of the Lingxiao Sect bowed in return.
They weren't just being polite; the truth was evident. After living on Earth for so long, and having killed many cultivators from other factions over the years, returning to the Southern Domain would not end well for them.
Once back, their loyalty to the sect would be in question, and other factions would be watching them, seeking revenge. They would never have a day of peace.
In that case, it would be better to remain on Earth, to live and die alongside the Earth Cultivation World.
If they could defend it, they could live freely on Earth for many years. If not, they could escape. In any event, powerhouses above the Core Formation Stage could not come over from the Southern Domain. Under this premise, they believed that as long as they weren't surrounded by numerous Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Southern Domain, hiding on Earth to save their lives wouldn't be too difficult.
