Only then did Wu Tian chuckle.
His provocation had been quite obvious...
And Yuanshi had taken the bait rather readily!
But this was already the best possible outcome. At this moment, just one of Dao Ancestor Hongjun's incarnations was already at the half-step Heavenly Dao realm, while his true body was even stronger. If they did not join forces, how could they contend against Dao Ancestor Hongjun?

Taiqing and Yuanshi arrived at
