After listening to Zhou Tong's account, Yan Ruyu roughly understood the current situation.
"I never expected Weird and Ominous to be so powerful." Yan Ruyu sighed as well.
"Should we notify our ancestor, Ye Fan, Wu Shi, and the others?" she immediately asked.
"Notify the Azure Emperor. As for Ye Fan and Wu Shi... just give them a subtle hint. If I'm not mistaken, they're most likely not on the same path as me," Zhou Tong said. "I can't save the whole world now. I can only save our own people."
"Not on the same path!? Did something happen?" Yan Ruyu looked at Zhou Tong in shock.
She knew Zhou Tong and Ye Fan quite well.
The two of them had come from Earth to the Big Dipper long ago. After that, they had often acted together, cultivated together, and schemed against the major sacred lands of the Big Dipper together. They could be considered close friends of many years.
Moreover, after Ye Fan established the Heavenly Court, Zhou Tong had also taken back the Blood Phoenix Incarnation's Demon Race Immortal Court and handed that region over to Ye Fan. Ye Fan had never been left out of any of the later grand gatherings or discussions of the Dao, either.
Yet Zhou Tong was now saying that he and Ye Fan were not on the same path?
By all rights, their relationship should have been very good!
Zhou Tong shook his head. "Don't overthink it. It isn't a matter of conflict, but of choice—different views on certain matters. It doesn't involve any enmity. The choice I've made is different from the choices they've made."
As he spoke, Zhou Tong looked toward the Heavenly Court, his gaze profound. Vaguely, he seemed to see faint threads of radiance that surpassed Immortal Kings.
