"How about it? Let's make a deal. We split the Formless Spirit Bone in half, one half each. What do you say?" Feather Emperor said with absolute certainty, as though he was convinced Ye Xiwen would agree.
His expression was incomparably calm, because he too had sensed that a major figure was rushing in this direction. Once that major figure arrived, neither of their schemes would succeed.
This had not originally been part of his plan. From the very beginning, he had never intended to cooperate with Pill Emperor and the others.
