Chapter 1312: Target, Wu Yuan (2)
"I invited them. They didn't come," the ethereal figure in white robes replied. "Yan Tuo didn't respond. As for the Blood Emperor and Dream Emperor, they made excuses. I suspect they're unwilling to offend the Eldritch Court, and it's likely related to True Saint Ming Jian as well.
"After all, once Ming Jian breaks through, his power will rival theirs. And Ming Jian is on good terms with Wu Yuan. Given multiple factors, it's understandable that they're unwilling to act," the white-robed figure concluded.
The silver-armored figure frowned slightly but said no more.
"Eastmoon, why don't you explain?" Dao Zenithel Wan Yu looked at the towering figure with the full moon at his back.
That towering figure with a full moon behind him was none other than the leader of the Eastmoon Megaverse, Ancestral Saint Eastmoon. He too was a Full Dao Zenithel in strength, on par with the Blood Emperor and Dream Emperor.
"Very well." Ancestral Saint Eastmoon's gaze swept over the group as he spoke deliberately: "Since you've all come, you likely wish to know my thoughts. Wan Yu, Bai Lian... you both owe me a karmic debt from that time at Yonder Cliff. This time, I'd like to ask for your help. Whether we succeed or fail, consider that debt repaid."
"Mm." Dao Zenithel Wan Yu nodded lightly. "I'll do what I can."
"I shall give it my all," the beautiful figure atop the lotus platform also spoke, her voice melodious and ethereal.
Any other Dao Zenithel would instantly recognize the figure seated upon the lotus platform: Dao Zenithel Bai Lian, ruler of the Azure Lotus Megaverse, whose power rivaled that of Ancestral Saint Eastmoon himself.
"Dong Huo." Ancestral Saint Eastmoon turned to the silver-armored figure. "I intend to seize the Xuanhuang Dao Treasure from Wu Yuan, which means directly opposing the Eldritch Court. For this, I require your Immortal Court's assistance."
Imperial Majesty Dong Huo replied bluntly, "Without my Immortal Court's aid, I doubt you could defeat Wu Yuan with your forces alone."
The gathering consisted of four leaders of major factions, three of which wielded the greatest authority in their respective factions. Though Dong Huo wasn't the supreme leader of the Immortal Court, as a Full Dao Zenithel, his strength matched theirs. He had no reason to show deference.
