Xiao Tianyang's expression darkened. "Their ambitions reach further, and they seek far more."
He paused, then asked, "But what could compare to swallowing Eternal Night whole?"
The moment his words fell, his expression changed.
At last, he remembered the crucial piece of information he had forgotten.
Xiao Tianyang abruptly rose to his feet. "What I discussed with you remains unchanged."
"If the opportunity arises, withdraw from the battlefield of Douluo Continent at once. The Heavenly Martial Dynasty can deal with the enemy on its own."
The instant space tore open, Satan seemed to realize something as well.
However, he had no intention of interfering in the Heavenly Martial Dynasty's court affairs.
"This subject accepts the order."
Satan respectfully cupped his hands toward Xiao Tianyang and bowed. "This subject sees the emperor off."
Taking Zhang Liang with him, Xiao Tianyang swiftly passed through several Teleportation Arrays and returned to Douluo Continent at the fastest speed possible.
Yet the moment his feet touched the ground, hurried pacing rang out beyond the door.
"Enter!"
Xiao Tianyang spoke without hesitation, and the person outside quickly walked in.
It was Wei Liao.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Space Rifts have appeared around the continents of Extreme Cold, Crescent, and Meteor!"
"It has now been confirmed that they lead to three High-level Planes even stronger than the Elemental Kingdom!"
"Furthermore, they have now submitted to the Void and become troop transport stations for its invasion of Douluo Continent!"
Not a trace of tension showed on Xiao Tianyang's face. Instead, he narrowed his eyes. "Just as I expected."
"Their target, from beginning to end, has been Douluo Continent."
"I do not know why, but Eternal Night was merely bait thrown out by the other side."
"I've hunted geese all my life, only to be pecked by one today!"
