Wuxu Divine Emperor watched Shu Yi flee and shook his head helplessly.
Then he turned to Lu Ren and Han Taiji. "You two survived Shu Yi? Tell me what happened."
A divine general stepped forward and recounted everything from beginning to end.
Wuxu Divine Emperor was surprised. "To think Fuluo was also a member of the Calamity Organization. Lu Ren infiltrated the Undead Realm, allowing our army to win without a fight, and killed two of the organization's hall masters. He deserves the greatest credit. Han Taiji killed the master of Jiehu Hall, which is a great achievement too. Stay here and tend to your wounds. I'll be back shortly!"
With that, Wuxu Divine Emperor became a streak of divine light and vanished.
"Where is the Divine Lord going?"
"To find that mysterious passage, surely. How else could they have invaded so easily?"
Several divine generals discussed it among themselves.
Han Taiji sat down cross-legged and swallowed several healing pills. "Lu Ren, the Ten-Year Pact is too far off. Let's make another wager!"
"A wager? On what?" Lu Ren asked, puzzled.
Han Taiji was petty and could not abide anyone more talented than himself, but his pursuit of martial arts surpassed that of most people.
Besides, Lu Ren had a faint sense that Han Taiji still had many hidden trump cards.
"Let's see which of us kills Shu Yi first. We'll stake a Terrifying Divine Technique!" Han Taiji said. "Shu Yi dared attack me. He must be tired of living!"
"Fine. I'll take that wager." Lu Ren smiled. "He is tired of living."
Half a day later, Wuxu Divine Emperor returned. "Come. Let's head back to the Heavenly Court to receive your rewards!"
He immediately led Lu Ren and Han Taiji back to the Heavenly Court.
