Hearing the words of the Destruction Empress, Nine Serpents paused slightly and asked, "This junior is puzzled. What exactly is the relationship between the Phoenix Sect and the Destruction Empress?"
"Hmm?"
The Destruction Empress's tone turned cold: "Do I need to explain what the relationship is to you? I am willing to protect the Phoenix Sect; that is my concern. What qualification do you have to question me?"
"This junior dares not!"
Nine Serpents immediately lowered its head and then said, "However... news has already arrived from the Middle-Class Star Region. Although no powerful individuals can descend, they have ordered the Starry Alliance's branch in the Lower-Class Star Region to protect the Lower-Class Star Region at all costs. That's why these numerous forces have united and descended on Phoenix Star."
"This junior has once received great kindness from the Empress and truly does not wish to oppose you. I hope the Empress can show mercy."
"What if I don't?"
