"Dongfang?" Though Supreme had never met him, she trusted that her senses would not be wrong.
But why was Dongfang inside the Divine Gate?
Wasn't he setting things up outside?
"Worthy indeed of the human Supreme known as the number one in the Heaven-Piercing Tower..." A middle-aged scholar in white stood before Supreme. Smiling, refined and graceful, he offered the innate courtesy of greeting, just as Innates or Sages did when meeting in the Heaven-Piercing Tower.
"Worthy indeed of Mister Dongfang, known as the Heaven-Piercing Tower's number one traitor..." Supreme retorted with a curl of her lips, not holding back in the slightest.
"Supreme, please do not find my appearance too strange." Dongfang was not angry at all, his bearing as composed as ever. "In truth, I was able to come here because of one person. Of course, you may already have the answer in your heart."
"Peerless Emperor Jueshi? You must have done something in the past that forced him to agree to bring you in." Supreme did not know the reason, but she could guess part of it.
"Although Senior Jueshi was extremely unwilling, he had promised me back then, and he had to fulfill that promise. So when I found him and asked him to bring me into the Divine Gate, he could not refuse... You and Yue Titan, even Fei Wenli, who had hidden herself away to prepare a fatal strike against Tian Yu, must all have found it strange. Why was I so certain that I would ultimately win? Now you understand, don't you? Yue Titan outside the Divine Gate, no matter how heaven-defying his abilities may be, could never open the ancient Divine Gate and enter the Balance World. Much less could he find me within the brief limit of ten days."
"Very clever."
