Seeing that Cao Zhengyang was truly angry, the faces of the five Demon Kings changed slightly.
Hou Mountain's eyes flickered, and he immediately laughed heartily: "Cao, I was just joking with you. Why did you take it seriously? You have no sense of humor at all."
Seeing this, the aura around Cao Zhengyang gradually receded, and he said coldly, "Our Taiqing Sect has been tirelessly searching for over five months, and our nerves have been consistently taut. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish between a joke and the truth."
Hou Mountain's expression was somewhat embarrassed and quickly said, "Thank you for your hard work. Alright then, we'll leave you to it and go check out Cangyan Daoist Palace."
After speaking, the Demon Kings departed.
Cao Zhengyang snorted coldly and said, "Beasts are beasts after all; they don't know when is the right time to tear off the mask. Truly, they are given too much face!"
At this moment, several elders, including Zhou Qing, rushed over.
