In Kunlun Mountain, He Heng and the Three Pure Ones quietly took their seats. They looked at one another and remained silent for a long while.
At last, He Heng spoke first. "What do you think Luo Hou's actions this time mean?"
Grand Pure Daoist lifted his eyelids and said indifferently, "His stance has wavered. He no longer trusts us and wants to ally himself with Shen Ni."
"As if he ever trusted us in the first place," Upper Pure Daoist sneered.
Jade Pure Daoist finally spoke in a cold voice. "Before, Chang was our great enemy, so Luo Hou had no choice but to cooperate with us. Now, in this Primordial World, the final Da Luo Dao Fruit is what we seek. We are all rivals. How could he possibly still trust us? I doubt even we trust ourselves. After all, we all know exactly what kind of people we are."
The three of them stared at He Heng, their eyes filled with... distrust.
He Heng laughed, then said quietly, "Why say such things, fellow Daoists? The Immeasurable Calamity is still a long way off, and the fruit has yet to ripen. Is it really wise for us to think only of eliminating one another and claiming it for ourselves?"
"How is that unwise? Strike first and gain the advantage; strike later and suffer," Upper Pure Daoist said lazily.
"You make a fair point," He Heng said suddenly. "Luo Hou must still be very hesitant. He has met Shen Ni only once, so he can hardly trust him completely. He'll need time to determine whether Shen Ni is worth working with. Until then, I doubt he wants to fall out with us. That's our opportunity."
"There's no such thing as having it both ways," Jade Pure Daoist said coldly.
