"He truly brought this doom upon himself. That Lord of the Divine Court deserved every bit of it!"
The Lord of the Divine Court's fate left Lin Jia feeling thoroughly vindicated.
At first, when they heard that the Lord of the Divine Court, a man on the verge of attaining the Dao, wanted to forcibly subjugate the Eastern Emperor and make him his First Divine General, they had all been furious.
They naturally knew the Eastern Emperor's temperament very well. Though he had little desire for power, he was carefree by nature, acted without restraint, and followed his own wishes. He could never submit to anyone.
