Because the power of Lotus Eye Divination had been broken, and he had confirmed it himself, Xu Taiping was now utterly certain that Zhao Xuantan was inside Taixuan Hall.
After a moment's thought, Heavenly Lord Xuanbei seemed to understand something. He turned to Daoist Fengzhu beside him and said:
"If that man is Zhao Xuantan, then everything makes sense."
Daoist Fengzhu sighed and said:
"I even suspected Kang Cangzi, but never him."
After saying this, he let out a long, helpless sigh.
Heavenly Lord Xuanbei sighed as well and said:
"Indeed. After all, in that Sky Demon War when the Demon Mother was slain for the second time, we were merely lowly foot soldiers following behind him."
As though unwilling to recall those bygone days any further, Heavenly Lord Xuanbei changed the subject and looked gravely at Xu Taiping.
"Taiping, we may have to rely on you in this battle."
Daoist Fengzhu also spoke with a solemn expression:
"Zhao Xuantan's physique is also known as the body of the dragon and tiger. Not only can it disregard cultivators' spells and divine abilities like the physique of the Dragon Clan, but it can also break through many divine intent edicts like the divine beast White Tiger."
"To contend with him, we must first have a physique that can match his. Only with that physique as our shield and spear can we unleash our respective divine abilities and edicts."
Xu Taiping had already vaguely guessed as much, so he nodded firmly and said:
"Rest assured, seniors. I will use this physique of mine to clear a path for you!"
Ping'an and Bai Yu stepped forward as well, declaring solemnly one after the other:
"And us!"
Bai Yu and Ping'an likewise possessed physiques rarely found in this world.
Heavenly Lord Xuanbei nodded gently.
