"Hmm...?"
When the Dragon Race Great Protector spoke, declaring that the Dragon Race was willing to sponsor the Four Symbols Divine Sect,
not only the representatives of the various Demon Race factions, but also everyone from the Human Race, including Mu Chen and Panyue, looked surprised.
To think the Four Symbols Divine Sect commanded such respect.
It had prompted representatives of two Super Forces with immense standing among the Human and Demon Races to volunteer as sponsors.
It was truly rather inconceivable.
Gu Chenfeng also looked in surprise at the old Protector, whom he had once met in the Dragon Race under the identity of Chen Feng.
The Great Protector met his gaze with deep, meaningful eyes.
Then he turned toward the puzzled, even dissatisfied gazes of the Demon Race experts in the hall.
The Great Protector said calmly, "Fellow Daoists, as Fellow Daoist Yuxu just said, the contributions and achievements of the Four Symbols Divine Sect and Fellow Daoist Gu are plain for all to see.
"Now that Star Luo Hall has joined them, the Four Symbols Divine Sect already qualifies to become one of the Super Forces. Our Demon Race should naturally treat them fairly.
"If we deliberately obstruct them because of old grudges,
"Then when a faction of our Demon Race seeks to become one of the Super Forces in the future, or when other important resolutions arise, the Human Race will also oppose us with all its might.
"If the Human and Demon Races remain divided and opposed, what purpose was there in establishing this Seven Star Alliance?"
At these words, the Demon Race representatives' gazes shifted slightly. Some nodded inwardly, finding considerable sense in his words.
Others remained dissatisfied, such as the representatives of the Mountain-Moving Demon Ape Tribe and the Golden-Winged Great Peng Race.
