After the arrival of the Heaven-Reaching, although it initially shocked Lu Ren, the rest was mostly surprise. What Heaven-Reaching wanted was obvious, even without much thought. He dared to leap out from the Journey to the West World after reaching the Celestial Immortal Extreme Realm in an unimaginably long age without any progress.
To go further, in his own world, he couldn't advance any more, so he naturally looked beyond his domain, and Lu Ren was the perfect opportunity.
As for Lu Ren, having Heaven-Reaching come along was purely a pleasant surprise for Alexander's Lu Ren.
However, it was indeed unexpected for Lu Ren that it took this long for a fight to break out since, by Heaven-Reaching's dominating and unyielding nature, he'd managed to stay calm for so long, which was beyond Lu Ren's imagination. According to his personality, Lu Ren wouldn't have believed that he wouldn't go for a fight.
He somewhat underestimated these guys.
"Seems like you knew about this all along."
