Chapter 709: Chapter 659: Witch 19 Challenges to Battle
“Greetings to you all.” In response to these people’s greetings, it’s surprising how calm Zhu Houji remains. He only smiles when speaking to Taoist Qingxu and the Prince of Xiang, but for everyone else, he acts quite indifferent.
The reason is simple. Among the people present, aside from Taoist Qingxu and the Prince of Xiang, the remainder, Zhao Baiyang and Xue Wuheng, were responsible for the death of Emperor Wuzong. If not for the importance of the greater good and the pressure from various powerful forces in the Sky Wasteland, they would never coexist peacefully.
As for Tie Qianshan and Zi Tianxiong, Zhu Houji originally had no particular opinion of them. However, since they joined forces with Zhao Baiyang, as far as he’s concerned, they’re all cut from the same cloth.
Moreover, it’s clear to both Zhu Houji and Zhao Baiyang that one day, they will have to settle their mutual grievances in a battle.
“Greetings to you all,” Wu Shijiu responded calmly, indifferent to the tense atmosphere in the room.
He is a collaborator with the emperor, and their two sides bear no grudge. If he chooses not to participate, no one can force him to, so he feels quite at ease and doesn’t care.
“There is no need for such formality, my Taoist friend, please sit!” Pei Xuanjing said with a smile.
He was well aware of the situation, so he took the initiative to change the subject and defused the awkward atmosphere.
After waiting for everyone to sit down, Pei Xuanjing finally said, “I’m sure all my Taoist friends understand why I summoned you here. So, what are your thoughts on this matter?”
