At his words, Jin Gu and the others burst out laughing. "We knew it was that fellow. You really had rotten luck running into him!"
"He's the master Attendant 99 chose. He's not someone ordinary people can handle."
"Back then, we'd had more than enough of Attendant 99's torment, but in front of that man, he's as tame as a cat."
They had long since realized that the man had won Attendant 99 over, and they had been searching all along for a way to escape this world.
Although Attendant 99 knew a little about the Upper Realm, his knowledge was hearsay, after all. Someone who could truly take him out needed not only formidable strength, but also a sufficiently strong character.
Knowing when to yield and bow one's head, and when to step forward with force and authority, all depended on a person's judgment.
None of them had met Attendant 99's requirements before. In truth, it was not that they had given up their chance to reach the Heavenly Dao Realm, but that he had given up on them.
He had been searching all along for someone who could share his burden.
But clearly, such a person was not easy to find.
Seeing the gloating on their faces, the Lord of Extreme Cold grew furious, his anger boiling over.
"If you're so capable, go deal with him yourselves! Does standing here making snide remarks make you feel good?"
At the Lord of Extreme Cold's words, everyone immediately shook their heads. "Stop kidding. That would be marching straight to our deaths! We'd like to live a few more years. We wouldn't dare provoke him."
Seeing their reactions, the Lord of Extreme Cold felt utterly helpless. He had never imagined that anyone could cast such a vast shadow over their hearts.
