After confirming the important intelligence with Xu Lai, Sikong Jiu didn't stay long before leaving.
"I need to go back and carefully think about how to deal with Great Emperor Yuan Ying of the Tian Gui Tribe," the young man said.
Although this particular Great Emperor had been dead for nearly an entire cycle, the title of the Immortal Domain's First Emperor was a thorn that remained stuck in Sikong Jiu's heart. The contingency plans he left behind could not be underestimated.
But no matter how nice Sikong Jiu sounds, I know the boy is clearly looking for an escape route, trying to find a way to stay out of the conflict between Emperors, Xu Lai thought. Everyone in the world hustles for their own benefit, after all. It goes without saying that we don't fully trust each other, and I certainly wouldn't blindly risk my life for him. The only reason we aren't in conflict and get along so harmoniously is the current absence of any clashing interests.
