Li Yun's expression darkened.
At that moment, a possibility suddenly occurred to him.
It was not that the Great Venerable of the Ancient Era had not been alerted. He had been alerted long ago, but in order to use Huang Tian's revival, the bastard had chosen to lie low and pretend he had noticed nothing.
The Great Venerable of the Ancient Era's goal was simple: revival.
To him, revival outweighed control over the Supreme Immortal Gate. He did not want the Supreme Immortal Gate to alert Li Yun and force Li Yun to do something that might harm Huang Tian, thereby affecting his grand plan of revival.
If that was the case, then once the Great Venerable of the Ancient Era revived, it would truly be the end of him and Ancestor Wind Dragon.
After all, one was a Void Ancient Dragon Beast subdued by the Great Venerable of the Ancient Era who had rebelled, while the other had seized the Supreme Immortal Gate. Both were undoubtedly on the Great Venerable of the Ancient Era's kill list.
"Damn it..."
"Do I really have to act now and kill Huang Tian?"
"No... no. Acting against Huang Tian now would probably be what truly enrages the Great Venerable of the Ancient Era. The best way is for him to pretend he doesn't know, and for me to pretend I don't know either, while continuing to seize the Supreme Immortal Gate!"
"As long as I completely seize the Supreme Immortal Gate—no, as long as my control over the Supreme Immortal Gate exceeds that of the Great Venerable of the Ancient Era, no matter how dangerous it gets, I'll be able to pull through!"
"Mm, that's what I'll do. You play dumb, and I'll play dumb too... Huh? What's going on with my Dao
