Tai Yinzi glared furiously.
Boom...
In an instant, the aura of a High-Tier Great Saint erupted, making the cave dwelling rumble.
"A threat?"
The Grand Protector's expression remained unchanged. An aura of cultivation no weaker than Tai Yinzi's immediately bloomed from within him, making Tai Yinzi's face change again.
"I am merely stating the facts.
"Master, times have changed. Your Human Emperor Descendant Lineage is no longer what it was.
"Rather than clinging to past glory, it would be better to face reality and leave yourselves, as well as your descendant lineage, a way out.
"I am only saying this much because it is me. You should understand that those who are truly ruthless either do nothing at all, or they see things through to the bitter end. By the time you think of yielding, it will already be too late..."
"You mean Ding Yi?"
Tai Yinzi stared at him.
"I did not say anything just now..."
The Grand Protector's smile became somewhat sinister, as though he were struggling against something.
"That is all I have to say. Take care of yourself..."
With that, he strode away.
Tai Yinzi watched his departing back. At last, it was as though all the strength had been drained from his body, and he slumped down deep within the cave dwelling.
He had guessed what the Grand Protector meant, yet he still did not want to believe—nor did he dare believe—that Ding Yi truly possessed such ambition and such audacity as to overturn the foundations their Lunar Human Emperor descendant lineage had built within the Divine Church over countless ages.
But the more that was the case, the more urgent the situation became. He could not hand over the "Lunar Immortal Scripture."
It was the final trump card and bargaining chip of their lineage.
