Emperor Dragon Venerable swept his gaze over the twelve Guardians. Were they all Quasi-Hegemon Level beings?
His expression darkened as he stared at Azure Dragon Guardian. "Do you all come from the same faction?"
Azure Dragon Guardian replied calmly, "Of course."
Emperor Dragon Venerable let out a cold laugh. "Ridiculous. If you all come from the same faction, how could all twelve of you be Quasi-Hegemon Level beings?"
"There isn't a faction in this world that can command twelve Quasi-Hegemon Level beings!"
"Even the Imperial Court, founded by Emperor Lord and hailed as the strongest Hegemon Grade faction in the Thirty-Three Heavens, could hardly have so many experts!"
After hearing Azure Dragon Guardian's words, Emperor Dragon Venerable actually felt relieved.
Even a lie had to face the facts.
Across heaven and earth, not even the strongest Hegemon Grade faction, the Imperial Court, could have so many Quasi-Hegemon Level beings. Azure Dragon Guardian's claim was obviously false!

What a joke!
At Emperor Dragon Venerable's words, all twelve Guardians present laughed, their laughter dripping with scorn.
White Tiger Guardian and Azure Dragon Guardian even doubled over, laughing until they could barely stand.
Emperor Dragon Venerable's expression turned stormy, his eyes narrowing. "What are you laughing at?"
