Chapter 1788: Aloof
Duanmu Supreme and others were indeed terrified by the news coming from the Fire Worship Path domain.
Jin Haiwang, Blue Entropy Palace Master, Qianyi Supreme, and six High-level Supremes perished in this battle. The fall of six High-level Supremes in one battle is extremely rare in the long history of the Chaos Universe.
The key point is that no one could have anticipated the confrontation between Jin Haiwang and Jing Yan would end in such a manner.
Upon receiving this news, Duanmu and his group rushed to the Fire Worship Path domain as quickly as possible.
When Duanmu Supreme and the other High-level Supremes arrived, Jing Yan showed considerable hospitality. Outside the Fire Worship World, Jing Yan met Duanmu Supreme and others. This was Jing Yan’s second encounter with Duanmu Supreme, the first being at Lady Nu Zhen’s birthday banquet.
To be honest, Jing Yan isn’t particularly enthusiastic about Duanmu Supreme now, even somewhat cold towards him. The reason is simple: Duanmu Supreme didn’t stop Jin Haiwang and others. Although Duanmu Supreme seemed to oppose Jin Haiwang and others from fighting Jing Yan, he didn’t actually intervene.
With Duanmu Supreme’s status and influence, if he truly intended to stop Jin Haiwang, he could have done so. In this Chaotic Universe, Duanmu Supreme’s position is comparable to Lady Nu Zhen’s. Moreover, Duanmu Supreme has a great advantage over Lady Nu Zhen; he has close relationships with many High-level Supremes.
Among the people in this universe you don’t want to offend, Duanmu Supreme is definitely one. So, if he truly wanted to prevent Jin Haiwang from confronting Jing Yan, with Lady Nu Zhen’s support for Jing Yan, Jin Haiwang, even if he was truly mad, would have to think twice. Even if Jin Haiwang persisted, Blue Entropy Palace Master and others would not accompany him in madness.
In the end, Duanmu Supreme is probably not as selfless as he appears; he also has personal interests but hides them well in public.
Of course, Jing Yan cannot overtly blame Duanmu for this. After all, Duanmu isn’t related to you; why would he help you stop Jin Haiwang?
