How could a Quasi-Emperor possibly deceive him? What reason would he have to deceive him?
Though there was only a single step between the peak Dao Lord Realm and the Quasi-Emperor Realm,
the gap in strength was like heaven and earth!
Even ten Ximen Xis, facing a Quasi-Emperor—even the weakest Quasi-Emperor—could only stretch out their necks to be slaughtered!
What was more, Xiao Long had no relationship whatsoever with the Tianming Family's Quasi-Emperor.
