Above the nine heavens, black smoke and dust scattered in every direction on the fierce astral winds, staining the sky with a deep, filthy gloom.
White Moon Heavenly Lord glanced disdainfully at the swirling smoke below. "Even this let Gao Xian escape. Aren't the two of us a little too incompetent?"
Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Lord frowned slightly. He could hear that White Moon Heavenly Lord was blaming him for his poor handling of things—they had joined forces, yet still let Gao Xian get away.
He felt rather helpless too. White Moon Heavenly Lord was being somewhat unreasonable. She had clearly been the one to fight Gao Xian, yet she had only killed an insignificant dharma-power avatar, allowing Gao Xian to retreat calmly into the distance.
If they were assigning blame, he and White Moon each bore half of it. Neither could escape responsibility.
Sure enough, a woman was a woman—no matter how high her cultivation, she still refused to be reasonable!
After some thought, Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Lord said, "Gao Xian must be under the protection of the Nine Provinces Cauldron. Only by borrowing the power of the Nine Provinces Dharma Domain could he so recklessly disregard every kind of formation and Divine Artifact confinement.
"There was nothing we could do about that."
In the vast human realm, the Nine Provinces Cauldron seemed to be the only ninth-rank existence. Fortunately, this ninth-rank being was not a cultivator and was trapped within the Nine Provinces Dharma Domain, unable to interfere in the affairs of the human realm.
For dozens of kalpas, the Nine Provinces Cauldron had always been so impartial, strict, and unwavering in its observance of rules.
Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Lord could not understand how the Nine Provinces Cauldron could favor Gao Xian so greatly.
