Devil Ancestor Luo Hou chuckled. "I know what you're thinking. But do you know why I let you gather together, knowing full well how powerful you are?"
"Hongjun, you've already experienced the Five Declines of Heaven and Man within the River of Time and Space, haven't you?"
"There's actually something you still don't know. We deliberately let you escape, all to lure Daochen out of the Primordial World."
"Drawing you out was far too difficult. You're so cautious that you rarely leave the Primordial World. Finding a chink in your armor was as difficult as climbing to heaven!"
Daochen froze for a moment. "I was your target?"
He warily surveyed his surroundings, not quite understanding what Luo Hou meant.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Eastern Emperor, and their companions exchanged glances.
They looked around.
Gradually, the three men's expressions darkened.
Sure enough, the space around them was slowly changing, just as Luo Hou had said.
Hongjun's expression changed. "You can actually control the River of Time and Space? How is that possible?"
The Devil Ancestor chuckled. "Wrong. We can't control the River of Time and Space. It's just that we're standing at one of its nodes. I've brought you to Remote Antiquity."
Devil Ancestor Luo Hou clapped his hands lightly.
Soon, Daoist Shichen, Great Immortal Yang Mei, and many Sages emerged from hiding.
One expert after another at the Eighth Heaven of the Saint Realm stepped out of the darkness.
Though they weren't the strongest, their numbers were immense.
These were all experts the Beyond Lands had accumulated.
These experts normally secluded themselves from the world.
Even the Devil Ancestor couldn't command them.
This time, he had used the matter of the Demon Realm to draw them out.
Only then did Daochen realize that the space around them had completely changed.
