"By taking the position of Lightning Dao Celestial Venerable, Fellow Daoist would not only enjoy the blessings of rank and Destiny/Luck, allowing him to attain the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable realm sooner.
"He would also be spared the Causality of those two hundred Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures."
Daoist De got straight to the point and invited Lei Ze to join his faction.
As for the faction he wanted Donghua to establish, it would naturally be a branch of Daoism.
Once the time was right, he would directly merge that faction into Daoism.
Would Lei Ze not then become Daoism's Lightning God Protector Celestial Venerable?
At that point, no matter how cautiously Lei Ze hid, he would not be able to escape Daoism.
He would not let Lei Ze go as easily as Dong Wang Gong had.
Of course, the reason Dong Wang Gong had so readily let Lei Ze leave before—
Was mainly because they had plotted behind the scenes and helped push matters along.
Without those earlier schemes, they would not have been able to hold Lei Ze in their grasp so firmly today.
Upon hearing that Daoist De was about to attain the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable realm, Lei Ze's pupils suddenly contracted.
For Daoist De to say this was no different from having already attained the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable realm.
Yet after hearing Daoist De's next words, Lei Ze felt a chill run down his back.
This is bad! Why do I feel as though I've fallen into a trap?
When exactly did I start falling into this trap?
Could it be that when Fellow Daoist Dong Wang Gong let Poor Daoist leave back then, he was already planning for this very moment?
How could that be possible! How could Fellow Daoist Dong Wang Gong possess such terrifying foresight?
