After roughly notifying each other, Li Tianming, the Northern Prince, and Bai Xingyun arrived at the Myriad Evils Dreamsource. The Second Warden came personally to receive them, beaming with smiles. The other two Wardens had not come.
That was normal enough. After all, Empress Yuan Hao had not come either. With Yuan Hao's current delegation, if all the Wardens of the Myriad Evils Dreamsource came out to greet them, it would only lower their own momentum.
Bai Xingyun seemed rather concerned about this, so he shrugged and let out a laugh.
"Does he want to bring in the Third Warden again?" Sui Shen Yao asked.
"He and the Third Warden's faction are sworn enemies. If the Third Warden came, it would be equivalent to bowing his head to him. Wouldn't that send him soaring?" Li Tianming chuckled.
Although the other two Wardens had not come, the Second Warden still gave the Northern Prince and Bai Xingyun ample face. The Northern Prince was also a man of exceptional social grace. He and the Second Warden chatted and laughed like old friends, and with unhurried steps, they soon arrived at the shadowy hall where the three Wardens' secret meeting had been held last time.
"The other two Wardens had urgent matters and only just arrived. They are waiting for you both inside the hall. Please do not take offense," the Second Warden said with a smile.
"I understand, I completely understand!" the Northern Prince said. "The Second Warden personally coming to receive us has already left us deeply honored!"
The two took the lead, smiling as they entered the shadowy hall. Yet the atmosphere within was frozen to the bone, swiftly freezing their smiles as well. Li Tianming and Bai Xingyun joining them only made the air grow more solemn and cold.
