Chapter 1358 -s 1306—1307: Pei Xuanjing’s Warning
"A month’s time is quite tight, isn’t it?" the Earth Virtue Star Lord said, his expression looking somewhat unpleasant.
Building the Guidance Array was no easy task. It had taken so long, and there were many things yet to be completed. Trying to finish it all within a month was indeed quite pressing for time.
"Heh, if you’re dissatisfied, why didn’t you speak up directly in front of the Emperor Monarch just now?" The Wood Virtue Star Lord glanced coldly at the other and said, "It’s the Emperor Monarch’s decree. If you want to defy it, do so on your own. Don’t think about dragging me down with you."
Seeing the attitude of the Wood Virtue Star Lord, the Earth Virtue Star Lord’s face grew colder as well, anger flickering in his eyes. Yet, he remained silent, because just as the Wood Virtue Star Lord had said, he did not dare to raise the issue in front of the Emperor Monarch.
Curiously enough, while these two Star Lords were so sharply opposed to each other, the other Star Lords, including the True Immortal Fire Virtue Star Lord, all watched with cold eyes and did not show the slightest intention of intervening. There were even smirks on their faces.
In the end, even though they were collaborating on this mission, they were not truly of one camp. They each represented different interests and had different inclinations.
These people were working under Pei Xuanjing, the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, because of the pressure from Pei Xuanjing, and that’s the reason each could go about their respective tasks.
But if the pressure from Pei Xuanjing were absent, then the others would undoubtedly have their own calculations and interests as well.
Just as at the beginning when the heavenly gate was first established, the scheming of Star Lord Yi Suan and others was to divide the interests of the Wood Virtue Star Lord. Although it was seen through, such probing indicated that these people were not united.
"What do you think, did the Emperor Monarch’s words just now hint at something to us?" the Fire Virtue Star Lord asked, his words shifting the topic and also easing the tension between the Wood Virtue Star Lord and the Earth Virtue Star Lord somewhat.
