Chapter 2269 - The True Secrets of the Sheath
Taishu Gong watched Su Yi and Feng Wuji fade from view before finally looking away.
He slowly returned to his seat, then sank deep into thought.
“Your Eminence, why not kill him? Had you given the order just now, I’m certain I could have destroyed him!” A voice suddenly emanated from the black earthenware jar atop the altar.
“We couldn’t risk it.” Taishu Gong shook his head. “The master of reincarnation is too special. Had he lost, he’d have simply lost his life, but had we lost... we’d be rendered forever unable to enter the present age. That price... would be far too great to bear!”
He sighed.
“But you suffered such a grave humiliation. We absolutely cannot just let this go!” said the voice within the earthenware jar, seething with murderous intent. “Who in the Epoch of the Five Emperors would dare treat you with such disrespect?”
“Enough,” Taishu Gong interrupted. “A little humiliation, that’s all. It’s not like it was some kind of life-or-death struggle, so why even speak of it?”
The voice in the earthenware jar instantly fell silent.
Taishu Gong’s gaze was suddenly deep and heavy. He whispered, “Wouldn’t it be a good thing if I managed to establish a positive karmic connection with Su Yi?”
Even though he said this, he crushed the teacup he was holding into powder, which fell through the gaps between his fingers.
The entity in the black earthenware jar noticed. His Eminence isn’t as calm as he appears!
