The expressions of Ye Song and the Elder in the Purple Robe instantly turned very grim. They wanted to stop Lin Bai but didn't know how to begin.
At this point, they were in over their heads.
Ye Song, especially, had been waiting for Emperor Zidewei to fall into peril so he could intervene, save him, and thereby earn Lin Bai's favor. Now, he was inwardly cursing the so-called Moral Heavenly Respect. Lin Bai was effortlessly manipulating seven Great cheng Cultivators as if they were toys. There wasn't the slightest sign of him being in danger!
It's others who are in danger!
Others?
Ye Song suddenly froze, a terrifying guess forming in his mind. Could it be that the so-called reincarnation of Emperor Zidewei doesn't refer to Lin Bai?
Did I... misunderstand?
That must be it!
That had to be the case. Lin Bai has the backing of the Righteous Door; even if a message were sent to him, it should be from an Ancestor of the Righteous Door, not from the Moral Heavenly Respect.
