Above the Heavenly Court, Carefree Great Emperor and Taishang Laojun were still chatting.
To all appearances, their conversation was highly congenial, full of warmth and harmony.
Yet Taishang Laojun and the others were somewhat anxious inside. They had originally intended to strike at Uchiha Shin on White Tiger Ridge, but Carefree Great Emperor had arrived at this moment, forcing them to hold back.
"All right, many thanks for your guidance this time. I've come to understand much more. If the opportunity arises in the future, I'll have to seek your counsel again!" Carefree Great Emperor said with a smile as he rose to his feet.
"Your Majesty is too courteous."
Taishang Laojun and the others rose as well.
Carefree Great Emperor smiled faintly and left Taishang Laojun's place with his subordinates.
Taishang Laojun and the others activated the Heaven Mirror to check on White Tiger Ridge, only to find that matters there had already concluded. They had no chance left to interfere.
The group could only sigh helplessly. Such a good opportunity had slipped away just like that. It was truly regrettable.
"Don't you think this matter is a little strange?" Maitreya Buddha said.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean Carefree Great Emperor. We were just about to obstruct Uchiha Shin on White Tiger Ridge, yet Carefree Great Emperor arrived at that very moment. Was that really just a coincidence?" Maitreya Buddha said to the others.
Hearing Maitreya Buddha's words, everyone was startled. Put that way, it really was strange.
"Could it be that Carefree Great Emperor came here to chat with us specifically to stop us from dealing with Uchiha Shin on White Tiger Ridge?" Taishang Laojun asked, looking at the others.
No one could quite make sense of it, but given the circumstances, the possibility was very high.
