"Two seniors, it's been a long time."
"You both look well."
The heat and crimson in Jiang Ding's eyes flashed and vanished. He bowed slightly. "To escape Heavenly Mechanism Divine Lord and the other seven and return to your sect, it seems you aren't quite as weak as I imagined."
After centuries of investigation, the Immortal Sect had gained a rough understanding of what had happened in the Ancient God Alliance.
Centuries ago, the Ancient God Alliance had been hunted by the Great Sun Sword Lord and the Immortal Sect Central Army Group's fleet. With their survival at stake, the Weaving Cloth Sky Spider Divine Lord, Three-Faced Divine Lord, and the others had defied the fierce objections of the Celestial God Divine Lord and his allies. They made a pact with the Eight Great Immortal Sects, bringing them into the Ancient God Alliance.
The Weaving Cloth Sky Spider Divine Lord and the others had hoped to build a stronger Ancient God Alliance this way, one that would allow their kind to survive and grow stronger. They had even hoped to glimpse the path to becoming celestial beings and achieve something their races never had.
But the Eastern Extreme Demon Sect was a vicious wolf, and the Eight Great Immortal Sects were no better.
In fact, the Weaving Cloth Sky Spider Divine Lord and the others had guarded against this. Beforehand, they had signed a stringent pact with the Eight Great Immortal Sects. It covered every detail, every clause, every action, leaving nothing to chance.
They believed that if the Eight Great Immortal Sects broke the pact, they would suffer grievous injuries and be unable to do anything.
What a pity. A true pity.
When they signed that pact, they had not asked the Eastern Extreme Demon Sect for its opinion.
