After hearing the Creation Divine Tree explain why the three people from the Sacred Heart Sect had come, Shi Meng felt puzzled. After all, in her mind, if the Divine Emperor truly respected the Creation Divine Tree's choice, he naturally wouldn't send cultivators into the Sacred Ruins Abyss—at the very least, he wouldn't send the Sacred Heart Sect's strongest cultivators.
Of course, Shi Meng also knew that Shen Wei and the others deeply respected their Sect Master. Out of respect for them and the Creation Divine Tree, she would also show respect to the Divine Emperor. Besides, she knew how powerful the Divine Emperor was, and couldn't help but treat him with respect.
"After all, the Divine Emperor and I have shared a bond for so many years. It's only natural that he'd send people to express his respect for my choice," the Creation Divine Tree said. Sensing the doubts of Shi Meng and the others, it chuckled. "I've followed the Divine Emperor for countless years, so I know him well. Since he said he respects my choice, he won't attack me again—or, more precisely, he won't forcibly attack those I choose to follow. I have that much faith in him."
"That's right. Our Sect Master never goes back on his word. Since he said he respects Senior Creation's choice, he naturally won't have any other ideas," Shen Wei said solemnly.
"I'm not doubting you, Senior. I'm just wondering whether the people who came to the Sacred Ruins Abyss this time might be falsely claiming to carry out the Divine Emperor's orders..." Shi Meng ventured, but she was interrupted before she could finish.
"That's absolutely impossible. No one in our sect would dare use our Sect Master's name to deceive people," Shen Ling said firmly. "So this must be true."
