Chapter 1523: A Gamble
One wanted to withdraw, but the other still chose a side!
The Zhou Clan Ancestor sneered coldly, and his face was full of provocation as he stared at Ye Guan.
He naturally understood that Ye Guan and the Great Daoist Brush Master were far from ordinary. Otherwise, the Taigu Clan Ancestor wouldn't have made that move.
However, he also knew what it meant to back out now. Withdrawing could bring temporary safety, but it also meant losing any chance at unimaginable wealth and power.
After all, withdrawing meant giving up everything.
And what if Ye Guan and the Great Daoist Brush Master didn't honor their word and chose to retaliate later? Who could he turn to then? Thus, he chose to continue this high-stakes gamble!
He would gamble the future of his clan!
If he won, the Zhou Clan would thrive for tens of thousands of years to come, and future generations would remember his name. It would be as if he lived a second life. And if he lost... well, he wouldn't lose much. After all, his real body wasn't even present. What was he supposed to fear here?
Ye Guan glanced at the Zhou Clan's Ancestor but didn't react to his provocation.
Instead, he turned toward the Wu Clan Ancestor.
The Wu Clan Ancestor cupped his hands into a fist. "Young Master Ye, if you allow my Wu Clan to stay out of this, we will immediately withdraw all our people and leave this universe, never to return."
His thinking was different from that of the Zhou Clan Ancestor. He believed both Ye Guan and the Great Daoist Brush Master were extraordinary. The Zhou Clan, caught between them, would face only disaster. Withdrawing was the safest path.
