Facing Shangguan's words, Nine Splendors Emperor Lord showed neither fighting spirit nor anger. He merely said calmly, "I know about your situation. I've already prepared a place for you to heal."
"When lives are at stake, we should save him first and talk afterward."
Looking at Nine Splendors Emperor Lord before him, Shangguan was silent for two breaths before speaking.
"Fine!"
"But I hope you won't try any tricks. Otherwise, I'll make you understand that even a Quasi-Emperor can fall."
With that, Shangguan immediately turned and left Nine Splendors Mountain.
It wasn't long before Shangguan returned with everyone.
"Everyone, please."
Nine Splendors Emperor Lord spoke calmly.
Faced with this attitude, everyone felt somewhat astonished.
After all, judging by their relationship, Nine Splendors Emperor Lord and the others should have been enemies.
"Did you beat him into submission?"
Baleful Shadow asked in a low voice. Shangguan, who was following behind Nine Splendors Emperor Lord, immediately spoke.
"I didn't fight him. But with me here, he won't be able to cause any trouble."
"Still, there's something strange about this man. You should all be extra careful."
"What's strange about him?"
"When I first met him, the aura emanating from his body was that of a Third Heaven Quasi-Emperor."
"But after thinking it over carefully, I found that his aura was also similar to that of a Fourth Heaven Quasi-Emperor."
"So if I'm not mistaken, he should have touched the threshold of the Fourth Heaven Quasi-Emperor realm. All he lacks now is the crucial tribulation lightning."
"According to the Pill Epoch's rules, a Third Heaven Quasi-Emperor can choose to remain in charge of his own territory."
Hearing this answer, Baleful Shadow instantly understood what Shangguan meant.
"You mean he deliberately suppressed his realm just so he could remain in the Nine Splendors World?"
