Lin Yue Yao originally planned to press her advantage after breaking Dasiwoba's water dragon.
But when Dijiang uttered those calm words...
She immediately became alert, abruptly stopping her downward descent and staring at the calm sea below with a puzzled expression.
This scene naturally provoked Hermoz's displeasure.
After all, he and Dasiwoba are now in an alliance.
Although the two have formed an alliance multiple times, the relationship between them has not been very solid.
However, if Dasiwoba can really kill Lin Yue Yao, it will be of great help to them in dealing with Lin Heng in the future.
Now Hongjun spoke up to remind Lin Yue Yao.
Such favoritism was questioned by Hermoz.
"Senior Brother, isn't this favoritism a bit too much?"
Hermoz's tone was far from pleasant when he said this.
Hongjun glanced at him indifferently and said in a completely calm tone:
"Oh?"
"I just analyzed Dasiwoba's personality with Lin Heng and Dijiang."
"How can you say that you're biased towards Lin Yue Yao?"
Hermoz immediately retorted:
"Senior Brother, everyone was watching just now."
Lin Yue Yao was originally going to plunge into the sea.
"But because of what you said, she gave up on that plan."
" Dasiwoba's backup plan was thus thwarted."
"Isn't this considered bias?"
Hongjun chuckled and asked a question in return.
"Are you so sure Dasiwoba has some hidden methods underwater?"
Hermoz was about to blurt out "yes".
But the words stuck in his throat.
As the manager of the Four Seas, Hongjun should at least maintain a facade of fairness in his actions.
If you have evidence to prove that he has abused his power, then even if Hongjun suffers in silence, he will have to swallow his anger.
But if you can't produce evidence...
Arbitrarily slandering administrators from Four Seas.
Hongjun could use his identity as an excuse to play you to death.
What's that saying again?
A higher-ranking official can have absolute power over a person.
Even though the Lord of the Four Seas appear to be equals.
But everyone knows that Hongjun is the eldest brother.
Putting everything else aside, the privilege of being able to see Primordial Chaos at any time is something only Hongjun among the Lord of the Four Seas possesses.
What if Hongjun said something bad about himself in front of Primordial Chaos...?
Thinking of this, Hermoz couldn't help but shudder.
Seeing that Hermoz remained silent, Hongjun continued speaking:
"Comprehension is something no one can really explain."
"If someone in the arena witnesses the battle at the Eternal Ages Cosmic Origin Realm and subsequently breaks through to that realm..."
But no one else made a breakthrough.
"Could it be said that the person who was in the midst of battle gave the person who broke through special treatment?"
Hermoz's eye twitched.
Hongjun's words seemed to make a lot of sense.
But it's completely different from what he said.
Hermoz dared not argue further and could only quickly bow to Hongjun.
"Junior brother understands. My words just now were due to a lack of consideration. I hope senior brother will forgive me."
Hongjun nodded and softly hummed in agreement.
"Let's leave it at that."
"But I hope that next time, you won't say such things."
"I am entrusted by my master to govern the Four Seas."
"What you're saying might make Master think that I've acted unfairly."
"If I tell the truth when Master questions me, it won't be a good thing for you."
Upon hearing this, Hermoz felt a surge of anger.
Hongjun's words were clearly a threat.
Can...
Hermoz's anger had barely begun to rise when he immediately suppressed it again.
He had already understood the true meaning of Hongjun's words.
The simple explanation is...
You, Hermoz, think you can challenge me?
Do you have that ability?
Hermoz, though unwilling to admit it.
But in front of Hongjun, he really didn't dare to show too much temper.
Faced with Hongjun's provocative words...
Hermoz could only force a smile and say:
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother."
"Junior brother will remember this and will never repeat it in the future."
Hongjun then turned his gaze away from him with satisfaction and looked at Lin Heng Dijiang again.
But this time, before Hongjun spoke, he waved his hand and set up a soundproof barrier.
This also meant that only Lin Heng Dijiang could hear what Hongjun said.
"What do you think is the deal with this Heavenly Ladder?"
This was something Hongjun decided to discuss with Lin Heng Dijiang after much deliberation.
At first, Hongjun simply thought that he would not participate in the opportunities presented by the Heavenly Ladder.
In this way, Primordial Chaos naturally has no reason to blame itself.
But after repeatedly pondering the matter, Hongjun realized something was amiss.
The appearance of the Heavenly Ladder is 100% related to the Eternal Ruins.
This is Eternal Ruins whose origins even Primordial Chaos the primordial state of being) did not know.
Now they've created this Heavenly Ladder across the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands.
Afterwards Primordial Chaos will naturally inquire about some things regarding the Heavenly Ladder.
If Hongjun knew nothing when asked, wouldn't that make Primordial Chaos think he was incompetent?
Besides...
Currently, cultivators from Four Seas and Eight Wastelands are eager to try out the Heavenly Ladder.
But these people are from the Primordial Chaos Universe.
They are all under Hongjun's control.
Now, however, he wants to join an unknown race.
That's blatantly trying to poach Primordial Chaos's talent.
Hongjun was indeed powerless to stop the tide of events.
But for Primordial Chaos, would it even care about this?
All he saw was Hongjun's inaction.
These two points have been taken into consideration.
Hongjun knew he needed to talk to someone.
It could even prevent the ascent of the Heavenly Ladder from continuing.
Lin Heng Dijiang are undoubtedly the best candidates.
The two exchanged a glance after hearing his question.
After a moment's thought, Lin Heng spoke:
"The most likely explanation I can think of is that Fate is at play behind the scenes when it comes to the Heavenly Ladder."
Lin Heng's statement coincided with Dijiang's.
Dijiang then nodded and sighed.
I have the same concerns.
"If this matter is truly related to Fate."
"Then this is clearly a conspiracy against Master."
Hongjun stopped mid-sentence, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself.
But Lin Heng Dijiang were already able to guess what Hongjun's concerns were.
A possible conspiracy targeting Primordial Chaos is unfolding before us.
Hongjun, however, showed no intention of stopping it.
How will he explain this to Primordial Chaos later?
Hongjun's current situation is indeed quite helpless.
I understand this, yet I can't stop it.
After all, the Heavenly Ladder is a contest that determines whether one can join that mysterious race.
It offers an opportunity for someone to become the next Mu Chen, or even reach the level of Primordial Chaos.
Given such a fortuitous opportunity, how could Hongjun possibly stop it?
Even these cultivators present, who usually treated Hongjun with utmost respect, were not immune to this.
But this involves such a coincidence.
If Hongjun dared to stop it.
Then he will likely face the prospect of becoming an enemy of cultivators from all over the Four Seas.
If that's the case, it's questionable whether he can even leave this place alive today.
