"By decree of the Blackwater Immortal Emperor, neither I nor Black Rock Island may take part in this matter..."
Before Xiao Ying, the Blood Xuan Witch King, and the others could recover from their shock, the Battle Immortal King spoke again in a calm voice, as though describing something perfectly ordinary. Their hearts instantly sank to the bottom!
The Blackwater Immortal Emperor ruled the enormous Blackwater Island and was also the master of this stretch of sea. Mulberry Elm Island, Black Rock Island, Great Li Island, and the other islands all fell under Blackwater Island's control.
One Immortal Emperor and four Immortal Kings-even if the Battle Immortal King agreed to help, they would be utterly outmatched, even with the Galan Immortal Warship!
Besides, since the Battle Immortal King had said so openly, she clearly would not intervene. She was, after all, a subordinate of the Blackwater Immortal Emperor. Neither her standing nor her strength allowed her to defy his orders!
"Rather than spend your time being shocked, you should send word for help at once. So long as a Witch Emperor is willing to intervene, the Immortal Emperor will not act. Although the chances of the Immortal Emperor taking action personally are slim, they cannot be ruled out entirely!"
The Battle Immortal King swept her bright, fathomless eyes over them and spoke mildly.
Xiao Ying and the others felt heavyhearted, their expressions grim. The Blood Xuan Witch King cupped his hands and thanked her solemnly. "Thank you for the warning, fellow Daoist!"
Neither the Heavenly Tribulation nor the beast tide could truly threaten the Black Tower Tribe. Perhaps the hidden hand intent on killing the Black Tower High Priest was the greatest calamity of this sacrificial ceremony!
"Hmph! Wherever a Totem Pillar stands, we of the Barbarian Tribe hold sway!
