Golden Cicada had naturally not come to congratulate Venerable Wangqing on successfully crossing the tribulation.
He must have come to discuss how to divide up the dragons, right?
Li Changshou could not help muttering to himself.
They were both Primordial Chaos Fierce Beasts, so why was the gap between beasts so vast?
Take Daoist Wen Jing, who had already pledged herself to him. Her position in the Western Teachings had previously been quite awkward, leaving her on the brink of being discarded by the Western Teachings at any time;
She did not even dare move openly through the Primordial Wilderness, and could only hide in the shadows, buzzing away.
