"Has Alchemy King Lu already rescued Devil Lord Tongtian?" Ming'e asked.
"I never rescued Devil Lord Tongtian. He just happened to find me." The severed arm sized up Ming'e. In the past, Ming'e had been hot-tempered and extremely fond of battle, yet he possessed remarkable insight into cultivation. After advancing to the Mahayana Realm, he had changed considerably. Aside from his build, his temperament now matched that of his senior brother—Venerable Mingyi, as he had once been known.
The severed arm ran through the names of the Four-Eyed Golden Hao Bird, the Golden Nether Ghost Lord, and a few other troublemakers. Who knew which of them was behind this? They really didn't mind stirring up a storm. They'd gone out of their way to provoke a great battle between him and the Buddhist Sect. There was no way Lu Xiaotian could pursue the matter now. After offending the Buddhist Sect, even if Lu Xiaotian knew who was pulling strings behind the scenes, he would have to pretend he didn't.
But once he dealt with the Buddhist Sect's troubles, if he found out who was responsible, he'd make sure they learned just how formidable he could be.
"The grudge between Devil Lord Tongtian and the Buddhist Sect is difficult to resolve. If Alchemy King Lu joins forces with him, sooner or later you will end up in open opposition to the Buddhist Sect. Given your ties to the sect, are you truly going to do this?" Ming'e asked with a frown.
"Your Buddhist Sect forcibly imprisoned my true body. Though there were reasons for it, afterward you made a deal with the people behind the sword embryo at the expense of my interests. You even deployed the Five Exalted Monks' Tiger-Subduing Formation to capture my true body and take it back.
