Chapter 1195: Limitless Chaos, Slaying A True Saint (4)
"What kind of trap could there be here in the River of Universes?" True Saint An Yu's voice carried icy confidence. "Perhaps the Eldritch Court wants to use us to temper Overlord Wu Yuan?"
True Saint Yun Hai nodded slightly, finding the reasoning sound.
"Overlord Wu Yuan's strength is truly terrifying," he observed, sensing the distant battle raging at the edge of spacetime. Wu Yuan and True Saint Xiao Yao had been fighting with brutal intensity, and the battle showed no signs of abating. Neither combatant was backing down.
"Indeed, it's frightening," True Saint An Yu agreed, her voice thick with wariness. "Is he really just a sempiternal lifeform?"
The two of them had descended with the expectation that their main task would be to clash with the True Saints of the Eldritch Court. They never imagined that Wu Yuan could display power to such an extent, sending chills down their spines.
However, having come this far, and acting on the orders of the Dao Zenithel, they found themselves in a precarious position with no easy way out.
"Let's not attempt to kill Overlord Wu Yuan. That would make us mortal enemies of the Eldritch Court," True Saint Yun Hai transmitted telepathically. "We'll just aid the Immortal Court this once, holding Overlord Wu Yuan at bay briefly. That should suffice.
"Next time, we'll find an excuse to avoid descending again," he added.
"Agreed," True Saint An Yu nodded.
Faced with the Dao Zenithel's commands, they were reluctant to disobey, as the price for doing so would be far too steep.
Different standpoints led to different considerations.
The Dao Zenithels of Nine Peaks had already secured promises of benefits from the Immortal Court and cared little about Wu Yuan's rise. Even if he did rise to the apex, what of it? He could not threaten Nine Peaks. Nor did they fear retribution from the Eldritch Court.
