Huoxie and Silvermoon were both dumbfounded by Hodan's words. Wasn't this a discussion among the Eight Great Clans about forming an alliance? How had they gotten dragged into it?
Hodan naturally had his reasons for doing this. After all, he couldn't stay in the Coiling Dragon World forever. He wasn't from this world to begin with.
