Chapter 1355 -s 1302-1303: The Torrents of the Era Roll Forward_2
Therefore, Pei Xuanjing did not hasten them, there was no need for the other party to respond immediately; they could continue to consider for a while longer.
"You mean to suggest that I can still leave, Emperor?" The Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, and his tone was full of the unexpected.
Indeed, everything that had happened today was too surprising for him. He needed time to digest this news. Although he no longer flatly rejected the invitation as he had at the beginning, agreeing so swiftly was extremely difficult.
However, after the other party had revealed so much confidential information, he believed he could no longer leave the heavenly gate. After all, putting himself in their shoes, he would not let someone who knew countless secrets leave so easily either.
"Why should I forcibly keep you here?" Pei Xuanjing countered.
"Do you not fear that after I leave, I might turn around and leak this information, or even contact the other Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors to form an alliance against you?" the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder chuckled lightly.
As long as he stayed here, the secret could be kept safe, but once he left, it would be difficult to keep it concealed.
Even if his visit to the heavenly gate had been highly secretive, there would inevitably be some Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors who discovered his whereabouts, and some might even have deliberately allowed him to come, hoping that he would probe into matters.
Besides, even if he had arrived inconspicuously, his earlier intervention at Myriad Laws Mountain, and the fierce exchange that took place, would undoubtedly attract the attention of countless Martial Artists. By now, many would have learned of this and been curious, or even waiting for his return.
"The information is bound to be made known to everyone sooner or later; it can be hidden for a moment but not forever. So instead of concealing it, why not spread it through your word? Information released by an Emperor will surely be believed by more people," Pei Xuanjing seemed to lack any intent to keep the news secret.
