That was pure mockery. Raine's entire blue face had turned bluish-gray from holding back his anger!
But he did not refute it. The fact that he needed something from the other party was one reason, but more importantly, he simply could not refute it...
After all, the result was that he had been outmaneuvered. The other party naturally had every reason to mock him!
"If you're done with the sarcastic remarks, can we get to the point? Things are rather urgent on my end..." Raine tried to keep his voice calm.
"Why? I'm a professional when it comes to making sarcastic remarks..." Xi Ye sounded smug.
The corner of Raine's eye twitched. "Cut the nonsense. I'm not joking!"
"How would I know whether you're joking?" Xi Ye replied with a yawn. "Go on, then. What's going on over there?"
Raine was silent for a while before finally deciding to tell the truth. Time was of the essence, and he had to gain the other's trust as quickly as possible.

They had entered through an internal summoning ritual.
In other words, a faction seemed to have known a very long time ago what would happen to this planet and had laid the groundwork. That was why the Internal Summoning Channel existed. It was highly likely the same scroll his subordinate had mentioned
