After appearing in Green Hill Land, Jieyin wore a puzzled expression and asked in confusion:
"Senior Brother Yuanshi."
"What do you mean by this?"
In Jieyin's view, the Nine-Tailed Empress of Green Hill Land possessed only Sub-Saint cultivation.
In the struggle for the Primordial Violet Qi, her combat strength would naturally suffice so long as she did not face a Saint.
But if she were to face a Saint, mere Sub-Saint cultivation would seem rather inadequate.
Upon hearing Jieyin's question, Haotian and Zhunti also turned to look at Venerable Yuanshi in unspoken accord.
Receiving the gazes of the three, Venerable Yuanshi did not rush to speak. He merely smiled meaningfully before saying:
"You'll know in a moment!"
With that, without waiting for the three to react, Venerable Yuanshi took the lead and swept toward the depths of Green Hill Land.
Seeing this, Haotian and the other two looked at one another, each seeing the bewilderment on the others' faces.
After standing there blankly for a moment, they did not think much of it and followed after Venerable Yuanshi.
At the same time, within the great hall deep in Green Hill Land.
"Hmm?"
The Nine-Tailed Empress's delicate brows furrowed, and her expression turned grave as she voiced her slight doubt:
"Why have they come again?"
Before the Nine-Tailed Empress could think further, light and shadows flickered throughout the hall.
Immediately after, Venerable Yuanshi appeared, bringing Haotian, Jieyin, and Zhunti with him.
At the sight, the Nine-Tailed Empress hurriedly rose and bowed to them:
"Greetings, three Saints."
"Greetings, Western Heavenly Emperor!"
On the surface, the Nine-Tailed Empress appeared exceptionally respectful.
After all, Green Hill Land had previously agreed to join the Western Heavenly Court.
Venerable Yuanshi nodded and said indifferently:
"Nine-Tails."
"You should know about the Primordial Violet Qi as well, correct?"
