At those words, the atmosphere in the side hall instantly turned rather strange.
After all, they were still on the Human Emperor Manor's home turf in Brahma Heaven Province. Everyone understood what Gong Lin meant: back then, Shiva Continent's army had fought its way to the gates of Human Emperor City.
By saying they might meet in Shi Zhan's dreams, he was clearly mocking him, suggesting that fear of Shiva Continent might give him nightmares.
The smile on Shi Zhan's face never faded, but he showed no sign of intending to attack.
"Gong Lin, you're still as arrogant as ever."
"If not for your willingness to help Commander Bai deal with the Heavenly Demons today, I'm afraid I would never let you leave so easily."
Faced with Shi Zhan's threat, Gong Lin showed not the slightest hint of panic.
After all, they were both rulers of a province, exalted Human Emperors. Even if they truly fought, the worst outcome would be mutual injury.
Still, Gong Lin understood that with Shi Shan watching like a tiger from the sidelines, even if he managed to escape, he would probably pay a heavy price!
At those words, Bai Zeyu's expression also softened considerably.
"The Human Emperor of Brahma Heaven Province has such magnanimity. You have our admiration."
"As for the Heavenly Demons, although the Old Commander has yet to arrive, we can begin discussing the matter."
Bai Zeyu's words gave both Human Emperors a graceful way to back down.
Shi Zhan nodded with a smile.
"Naturally. The Heavenly Demons are what matters."
"Please take your seats, everyone."
At Shi Zhan's invitation, Tongtian and the others found their allotted seats and sat down properly.
Soon, only the experts from the various sects who had come to discuss the matter remained in the side hall.
