Chapter 1696 - 1642 - - Witch God Sect Leader’s Scheme
As the words of the Witch God Sect Leader fell, his figure disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared in the first place, were it not for the few jade slips in front of Fire Virtue Star Lord.
The information contained within these casually discarded jade slips was highly confidential for the Witch Deity Teaching, and even in the hands of ordinary True Immortals, they were diluted treasures.
Yet he placed them here so effortlessly, without any worry that Fire Virtue Star Lord would turn his back after taking the items.
The mighty possess a pride of their own; such peak-bearing strong ones bear various characters, yet they do not betray their hearts, nor do they grow fat on broken promises.
Not to mention that such mighty ones act in accordance with their true selves - any act against their hearts could affect their cultivation. Merely the circle of Taoist Monarchs is so influential, and to break a promise would be truly disgraceful and ruin one’s reputation.
For powerful beings like Taoist Monarchs, they are nearly immortal; what they contest over is mostly face. If such a thing were to be known, leading to a tarnished reputation, it would almost equate to social death, with no one daring to trust them again.
More importantly, the Witch God Sect Leader has his own confidence; confidence in his own strength, in the Witch Deity Teaching, and in the price he has offered.
As he analyzed just now, Fire Virtue Star Lord, in the situation he currently faces, could only count on their Witch Deity Teaching for help; beyond them, no one else would assist him against the likes of the Jade Emperor and others.
If he offended the Witch Deity Teaching, he would not only lose a tremendous support, leaving himself isolated, but he might even push the Witch Deity Teaching into the Jade Emperor’s camp.
Even now, the Witch Deity Teaching still cooperates somewhat with the Jade Emperor within the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, holding some positions as Witch Priests overseeing sacrificial ceremonies.
