The Battle Emperor took a deep breath and showed no intention of attacking again.
The moment Lin Dong appeared, he had known that he was bound to lose face today. But even losing face depended on the circumstances...
The Martial Ancestor's reputation in the Great Thousand World was far greater than that of the Western Heaven Battle Emperor. Failing to defeat him was nothing shameful; the key was that he could not simply admit defeat outright.
Having understood Lin Dong's temperament, the Battle Emperor had even thought of a way to salvage the situation. At the very least, he could not let Lin Dong use this as an excuse to make trouble!
"As expected of the Martial Ancestor. You truly are extraordinary. I lost this time," the Battle Emperor said with a cold expression.
"I will not pursue today's matter any further..."
Before Lin Dong could speak, the Battle Emperor waved his hand, and a golden dragon scepter appeared before him.
"This Hundred Dragon Staff is a low-grade Saint Artifact. Consider it a gift from me upon my first meeting with young friend Liu Bai."
Liu Bai: "?"
Lin Dong: "..."
You're being so tactful that I don't even know how to keep causing a scene...
Lin Dong felt rather displeased.
Including Liu Bai, none of the other experts present had expected the Western Heaven Battle Emperor to act so decisively.
Liu Bai silently glanced at the Martial Ancestor and, sure enough, saw a trace of dissatisfaction on the latter's face.
Given the grudge between the two, if the Martial Ancestor had not come as a favor to Liu Bai and served as his backing this time, he might not have wasted words at all. The instant he saw the Battle Emperor, he would likely have rolled up his sleeves
