At the Divine Mountain Summit.
Dongguan's true body sat cross-legged on the steps.
Through his avatar's observations, he naturally knew everything that had happened in the subsidiary mountains.
But even Ming Nian and Lei Fuchang had given up resisting. Even if he regretted it, there was nothing he could do.
Besides, he had no regrets.
As an unaffiliated cultivator, obtaining opportunities was incredibly difficult.
The price he paid this time would probably be that his dealings with the Two Great Ancient Kingdoms might not go very well afterward. For instance, he was unlikely to obtain retainer status.
