The moment Eastern Emperor Tai Yi appeared, Zhou Yuan let out a soft sigh of relief.
The strategic objective had already been achieved.
Continuing to fight Candle Dragon would bring more losses than gains.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi had appeared at just the right time.
Candle Dragon did not wish to continue fighting either.
If he failed to take down Taiyuanzi for too long, his weakness would surely be exposed.
And the price he would have to pay to take down Taiyuanzi was far too great.
Within time and space, the two exchanged a glance, as if reaching an agreement.
Then they both withdrew their hands.
Each reappeared in the present world.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi first cupped his hands toward Zhou Yuan and smiled.
"Fellow Daoist has truly given us a tremendous surprise."
"With Fellow Daoist aiding our Demon Clan, we are like a tiger with wings."
Zhou Yuan returned the salute and said mildly,
"Your Majesty Eastern Emperor overpraises me."
"Several of Your Majesties are all Quasi-Saint supremos."
"For this poor Daoist to shelter within the Demon Clan is truly a blessing."
The smile in Eastern Emperor Tai Yi's eyes deepened.
The Daoist before him.
Whether he was a remnant elder from chaos,
or some ancient relic from the primordial era,
as long as he acknowledged that he stood on the Heavenly Court's side, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi would not investigate too deeply.
Because this Great Divine Ability User possessed extraordinary abilities.
He could contend with a Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate to some extent.
No matter which faction he was placed in, he would be highly sought after.
He could serve as the foundation of a power.
"Fellow Daoist is too modest."
"With Fellow Daoist's abilities, where under heaven could you not go?"
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi smiled faintly
