Laozi's Counterattack, The Four Seas Dragon Kings' Choice

"HAHAHA!"

"Good. Very good!"

In the region of Outer Chaos, Daoist Laozi threw back his head and laughed loudly.

Having witnessed what had happened in the black hole region with his own eyes, he was exceedingly satisfied with Li Yun's decision and choice.
