As soon as these words left his mouth, the scene fell into silence, and a heavy atmosphere kept spreading through the air.
As that oppressive mood diffused, Marshal Liu and the others standing atop the city wall narrowed their eyes slightly.
The old man glanced at Marshal Liu, and after receiving his nod of approval, slowly took a step forward.
He stood on the city gate, meeting Ding Chen's gaze below, utterly without fear.
The old man's expression was as calm as still water, as if he had already made up his mind.
After a brief moment of silence, the old man finally said slowly, "Ding Chen, your worlds were also destroyed by the Heavenly Demons back then. In truth, between you and the Heavenly Demons there should be hatred deeper than the sea, so why are you now helping the Heavenly Demons, turning against us?"
When these words fell, Ding Chen was the first to shake his head.
