The Tianyuan Ninth Continent.
Heavenly Sword Chu Kuangren emerged from seclusion.
Over the years, he had remained in seclusion and had not directly participated in the war between the two universes.
After emerging, however.
He received a message from God King Sikong to attend a meeting.
At the meeting.
"Well, if it isn't the illustrious Heavenly Sword, who could even kill God King Six Eyes? Long time no see."
God King Yuan Teng spoke sarcastically when he saw Chu Kuangren.
He was not the only one.
Some of the other God Kings also showed varying degrees of dissatisfaction upon seeing Chu Kuangren, especially the ancient God Kings.
They had been on good terms with Six Eyes and shared a bond as comrades-in-arms.
"We've been fighting for our lives on the front lines, while you've been enjoying all sorts of resources in the rear. Living comfortably, are you?"
Another God King spoke.
It was Luo Yunxiu, one of the Nine Kings.
He was now qualified to attend high-level meetings.
"Heavenly Sword, I don't know how formidable you used to be, but on the battlefield, Battle Merit speaks for everything. Your performance has been disappointing," Wumian, the disciple of a Primordial Chaos cultivator, said indifferently.
Deep disappointment showed in his eyes.
"Don't say that. Perhaps his injuries from fighting the Underworld God still haven't healed? Why make things difficult for him?"
The Dark Night God King chuckled beside them.
He, too, had learned of the false intelligence Chu Kuangren had released.
Chu Kuangren was genuinely rather curious.
Just how many people had An Zhixun sold that piece of false intelligence to?
At the meeting.
Many people mocked and sneered at the Heavenly Sword upon seeing him.
Some called him a leech.
He monopolized resources but did not take part in the fighting.
