Hun Xiao glanced at the Western Heaven Battle Emperor in surprise. She had assumed he would push Elder Winter out as a scapegoat, but she had not expected him to step forward and take responsibility himself.
Had he already seen that he was our target all along... or was it because he dared to take responsibility for his actions?
She felt it was most likely the latter. Though the Western Heaven Battle Emperor did not seem particularly sharp-minded, there were still some admirable qualities to his character. Otherwise, so many people would not have sincerely pledged their loyalty to him, nor would so many women have been conquered by his charm.
Mm, someone so upright is suited to be an ally. There is no need to worry about betrayal, and it would be easier to stab him in the back... What a pity... she thought to herself.
There was not the slightest emotion in Hun Tiandi's unusually bright eyes, only icy killing intent.
"What if I do press my advantage? It seems that because I have long operated beyond the Great Thousand World and have never made a move here, people have begun to look down on me, Hun Tiandi. I shall use your life to let everyone know that the Soul Hall is not something just anyone can provoke."
The moment he finished speaking, he acted.
Hun Tiandi raised a hand and calmly pressed forward. A black palm print slowly drifted toward the Western Heaven Battle Emperor.
The latter's eyes widened in horror. He wanted to resist, only to discover that he could not move at all. A terrifying force had firmly restrained him, leaving only his eyeballs able to turn.
Was the gap between an Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign and a Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign truly this vast?
