The Three Realms Immortal Lord had still been maintaining his air of ethereal grace, but the moment he finished speaking, he changed into the guise of an ordinary mortal.
The change came so quickly that they struggled to catch up.
Coupled with how strange his words had been, it made Yang Qing, Bu Er, and the others look squarely at the Three Realms Immortal Lord.
"Actually, it's a rather long story." The Three Realms Immortal Lord looked them over. "Heavenly Law is growing more powerful by the day. If this continues, no one will be able to stop it."
Yang Qing's expression remained unshaken, even by thunder. "Whatever else it may be, Heavenly Law is your concern, Three Realms Immortal Lord. What good will asking a few mortals like us do?"
"You are involved. Very much involved, naturally."
Seeing Yang Qing about to assume that nothing in the world had anything to do with him again, the Three Realms Immortal Lord threw caution aside and hurried to speak.
"You are no longer bound by Heavenly Law. Thus, if anyone in this world can still match themselves against it, there is no one but you."
"But surely you don't think we can contend with Heavenly Law as we are now, Immortal Lord?"
Yang Qing gave a scornful laugh. "What virtue or ability do we possess that could let us challenge such a mighty power of heaven and earth?"
The Three Realms Immortal Lord said, "Actually, I do have a method we could try."
"Of course, there is some selfishness in this proposal, but I also sincerely wish to save you."
After all, how many people of such wholehearted loyalty could still be found in this mortal world?
They were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
Rarity made things precious.
