Tribulation Fire Scorches East Continent

"...Enemies really do cross paths on narrow roads."

Dui Sheng muttered, his tone revealing a trace of regret he could not hide.

"What's the point of saying that now?"

Xun Saint shot Dui Sheng a glare, displeased.

After all, if not for Yao Wan, how could she have nearly died? It had forced her into a state akin to suspended death for so long. Yet her soul had never fallen dormant, leaving her curled up within that cramped eggshell, facing the Insect Dragon's abdominal cavity every day. What kind of place was that for a person to stay?!

With that said, Xun Saint's resentment toward Dui Sheng deepened further.

Saint Kan glanced at the furious Xun Saint and smiled cryptically. "Heh, Shi Dui, I recall that when you carried out the Venerable Saint's orders to seize the Bodhi Ancient Tree, you had already encountered her before she became a Dou Sheng, hadn't you?"

Faced with Saint Kan, who was still exposing his shortcomings even now, Dui Sheng's expression grew colder. "Shi Kan, why don't you make yourself clearer?"

"Hehe, if you hadn't let the tiger return to the mountains back then, how would we have today's disaster? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Even Shi Zhen couldn't hold her back now. That woman has truly grown formidable—"

"Raising a tiger only to invite disaster! Back then, she was protected by elders of her clan. How was I supposed to make a move?"

Dui Sheng knew he had no grounds to argue. Now that this woman had actually dared to attack East Continent, even someone as thick-skinned as him should have realized the severity of the problem.

"Besides, when you brought that Insect Dragon back, hadn't you also met her?! What, were you incapable of keeping her there?!"

Saint Kan's expression stiffened as well.
