A voice suddenly came from the old man surrounded by phantasm god patterns, like the whisper of a demon from hell. "I heard that the Phantom Sky Imperial Clan within your Heavenly Emperor Sect seems to have suffered some upheaval lately? If you hand over the one responsible for this upheaval, we can spare your sect. From then on, we can still be good neighbors."
At that moment, Li Dixiao and the others' gazes sharpened.
The other side knew about what had happened to the Phantom Sky Imperial Clan of the Heavenly Emperor Sect—and had directly laid it bare!
At this time, among the five arrivals from Phantom Star Cave—one elder, two adults, and two youths—the young man stepped forward.
He looked on coldly. "Patriarch Phantom Abyss has already given you the best possible choice. Li Dixiao, I advise you not to wound the friendship between our sects, built over generations, for the sake of a single outsider..."
"Fengyue Yeming, you know nothing of the inside story. How can you have the nerve to ask us to hand over our sect's only hope in the Myriad Sects Imperial War to you? If so, what meaning is there in this joint gathering?" Li Zhaotang's gaze turned somewhat cold as well, every sentence a sharp retort.
At this time, Li Dixiao looked toward the bald elder, Phantom Abyss. Though he frowned, he still cupped his hands and said, "Senior, this is all a misunderstanding."
"Hehe... a misunderstanding?" Phantom Abyss laughed darkly.
As his voice fell, he finally revealed his true face before everyone present.
At that moment, even Li Tianming's pupils contracted!
The instant he saw that face, Li Tianming knew... it could no longer be concealed!
This face was extraordinarily similar to the appearance displayed by Illusory Heaven Progenitor's soul body!
