Biyou Palace was plunged into dead silence.
Although Laozi remained silent, every trace of the Sage's aura suppressed the heavens and myriad realms.
The anger within his heart materialized and manifested, instantly sweeping forth a bone-chilling cold that made all of the Eight Great Personal Disciples secretly startle.
What was going on?
Had this Laozi abandoned his pride to the point of personally stepping down to make things difficult for a few disciples?
At that very moment, Tongtian spoke up at just the right time.
"Elder Brother Laozi, these were merely words spoken in the heat of a dispute between disciples, why fly into a rage?"
"Besides, today we are within the Interception Sect to begin with, and all of Changqing disciple's actions are entirely within reason."
The first sentence offered Laozi a way to step down with grace.
As for the latter sentence, it carried a meaningful and profound deterrent.
At this moment, everyone was located right inside the Interception Sect.
Moreover, Gu Changqing was also within his own cave abode.
Therefore, ignoring Laozi's summons, what fault was there in that?
While speaking, vast Sage might also surged around Tongtian, neutralizing Laozi's coercion.
Duobao and the others finally let out long sighs of relief.
Laozi also came to his senses.
Indeed!
His arrival today was not to engage in a war of words with Duobao and the others.
Persuading Gu Changqing to utilize the Human prestige to enshrine Xuandu as the Human Emperor was the true priority.
Laozi was truly worthy of being someone capable of bending and stretching.
In just a fleeting instant, his expression completely transformed.
The previous anger vanished without a trace, replaced by his usual gentle smile.
"Heh, Third Brother's words are entirely correct."
"Earlier, it was my Xuandu disciple who spoke without due consideration."
