"Li Rui?!"
Crimson Pine True Monarch turned his head and saw that Li Rui had appeared not far from them at some unknown time.
Clearly.
They had been plotting against Li Rui, but Li Rui had been fishing for them as well.
What deep scheming.
A trace of wariness flashed through Crimson Pine True Monarch's eyes.
Six Truths True Monarch's Dao Seed divine ability was exceedingly strange. Even the Shenxuan Sect's fallen Great Perfection True Lord had owed his death in part to him. Yet Li Rui had not only blocked the backlash of fate, he had even turned it around and left a Dao Injury on Six Truths True Monarch.
Such methods were not something a Small Grotto-heaven cultivator should have been capable of.

Li Rui had rarely made a move. Crimson Pine True Monarch had personally acted only because of the Dual Certifications, yet he had not expected Li Rui's strength to surpass even his predictions.
He had been hiding his true abilities all along. I underestimated him.
Crimson Pine True Monarch merely said, "Fellow Daoist Evergreen, since you have also injured my junior brother, why not let the matter rest here?"
Let it rest?
Li Rui gave a soft laugh. "What a ridiculous thing to say."
The Myriad Laws Palace had plotted against him. Their scheme had failed, and he had countered them instead. Now that they had been exposed, they thought they could dismiss it all with a breezy "let it rest"?
Outrageous!
There had never been such a rule in this world.
Crimson Pine True Monarch frowned slightly.
He was secretly annoyed by Li Rui's failure to appreciate the favor.
White Jade Capital might have shown signs of rising, but Li Rui was not a Dao Lord after all. How could Zhuge Ming,
