Heavenly Monarch Dingding's resolute words startled the sect masters of the Seven Great Immortal Sects.
The Black Tortoise Heavenly Palace was no weakling.
At its peak, it had lorded over forty-one Minor Worlds, surpassing all other sects. Yet after suffering successive defeats at the hands of the Eastern Extreme Demonic Sect, everyone had begun to underestimate it.
The ceasefire treaty made their hearts sink even further.
Once the Black Tortoise Heavenly Palace signed a ceasefire treaty, there would instantly be one fewer sect encircling the Eastern Extreme Demonic Sect. Whether they could accomplish anything afterward would be hard to say.
The Eastern Extreme Demonic Sect was no longer what it had been thousands of years ago. Any ceasefire treaty would certainly be treated with utmost caution and carry the restraints of the Heavenly Dao; tearing it up would not be easy.
The Black Tortoise Heavenly Palace's meaning was plain.
At a time when their sect's strength was declining, why would they care if floodwaters and flames engulfed the world afterward? Future matters could be dealt with in the future. They could no longer afford to care.
Wanting the Black Tortoise Heavenly Palace to cede Minor Worlds again under such circumstances and satisfy the Seven Great Immortal Sects' demands for profit was nothing but a fool's dream!
Indeed, if they could not be satisfied, then what if they simply allowed the Eastern Extreme Demonic Sect to run free?
This realm was not the Black Tortoise Heavenly Palace's realm alone. Since the Seven Great Immortal Sects did not cherish it, then let it be abandoned. Wanting the Black Tortoise Heavenly Palace to sacrifice itself and pull chestnuts from the fire was absolutely impossible.
This resolute, shameless attitude immediately left the sect masters of the Seven Great Immortal Sects at their wits' end.
