Seeing the old flood dragon declare his position so eagerly.
Although the White-Eyed Demon Emperor still harbored some doubts, there was little more he could say.
Besides.
The temptation of a True Dragon's body was indeed enough to drive any Demon Emperor mad.
In the end.
He slowly nodded.
"In that case... we shall do as you say. However..."
The White-Eyed Demon Emperor abruptly changed tack, his tone chilling. "Let me make the ugly terms clear first. We have agreed to help you stall her, but if the task proves impossible, or that woman turns out to be too ferocious for us to overcome... do not blame this emperor for leaving without regard for our friendship."
He had come to seek riches.
Not to throw his life away.
If he lost his life, what use would that True Dragon's fortune be?
Demon Emperor Taiyuan showed not the slightest displeasure at those words.
Instead, he nodded readily.
"Naturally. This emperor only needs you to hold her off for a little while. Once my divine art is perfected, I will return at once. If you truly cannot stop her... you may all leave as you please."
At this.
The Nine-Baby Demon Emperor's expression darkened.
As the Demon Emperor of the First Grotto of Spirit Mountain.
He was accustomed to ordering others around.
Now he had to take orders from Taiyuan, who ordinarily kept his abilities well hidden. Naturally, he was displeased.
Even that old dragon only received a modicum of respect from him on account of his seniority.
But now.
Even someone as shrewd as White-Eye had agreed to join.
If he continued putting on airs at this point, he would only look like someone who failed to appreciate a favor.
Besides...
A True Dragon was a treasure from head to toe.
