Chapter 873: Solo
Outside the Myriad Astral God Hall.
The Divine Martial Emperor, Heavenly Emperor Gu You, Tai Yi, and others watched from afar as Li Pin flew straight toward that magnificent, towering complex suspended in the sky.
Some Heavenly Emperors looked worried, while others held unwavering confidence in him.
Heavenly Emperor Dong Xu hesitated before speaking, "Do you think... Divine Emperor Origin can—"
Before he finished, Divine Martial interrupted, "Jin'que isn't the real threat. The key question is whether Divine Emperor Xi will keep his promise and arrange a fair duel between Li Pin and Jin'que."
He paused, then added, "Fortunately, no matter the outcome, every force in the Astral World has its limits. As long as Li Pin doesn't get caught in a coordinated attack by multiple Divine Emperors, he should be fine. Even if he does, he can still break through the encirclement and escape. We just need to watch closely and be ready to support him at any time."
Heavenly Emperor Tai Yi considered for a moment before saying, "Though this trip is partly a gamble, if it succeeds, we will kill two birds with one stone. We'll not only defeat the Astral Lord Council elder, Jin'que, but also bring Divine Emperor Xi to our side. The tide will turn instantly, and we will regain control of the Myriad Astral God Hall."
He looked toward where Li Pin had headed. "With such great rewards and no deadly risks, it's worth the gamble."
"I just fear that Jin'que, Divine Emperor Xi, and Zhu Zhao have long been plotting," Heavenly Emperor Dong Xu said. "Jin'que's power nearly matches a Divine Emperor's. Add Divine Emperor Xi, Zhu Zhao, and the Grand Celestial Constellation Cycle Formation... and they have a real chance to trap and kill a Divine Emperor."
Heavenly Emperor Tai Yi shook his head. "Risk and reward always come together. To win big, we have to take risks."
He stopped there, and no one else spoke.
At this point, all they could do was hope the situation wouldn't spiral into the worst outcome.
