Chapter 24, The Bet
Donghuang Taiyi pondered for a moment and said, "Since Senior Brother is fond of the Nine Dragons Incense Chariot, as a junior brother, I cannot bear to deprive you of it. However, this incense chariot is indeed of great use to my Demon Court.
How about this! Would Senior Brother consider lending the Nine Dragons Incense Chariot to junior brother just for a while? I shall surely return it within a thousand years."
Primordial Venerable shook his head and said, "Taiyi, go back. I will not lend the Nine Dragons Incense Chariot.
Azure Dragon guards the Eastern Extreme of Heaven, and the merit gained is sufficient to protect the Dragon Clan. Let’s not cause unnecessary trouble."
Donghuang Taiyi said solemnly, "Senior Brother, would you not even grant this bit of courtesy?"
Primordial nodded.
Donghuang Taiyi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Someone in the East Sea snatched something I sought after and injured the Demon God of my Demon Court. How shall this cause and effect be settled?"
Primordial gestured with his hand, and a purple long banner flew out from the Yuqing Palace into his grasp and said, "I will take on this karma. We’ll just fight it out in the Chaos."
Donghuang Taiyi broke into an easy smile and suggested, "There’s no need for such hostility. How about we make a bet, Senior Brother?"
"What bet?"
