Dong Wanggong was quite earnest when not being abstract.
He startled the dreamer with a single phrase.
Indeed, if Jiang Lu were already dead, with no one left to stop Primordial Heavenly Venerable, then why would he still put on such a show, even when he and his party had already arrived, yet he seemed as if he hadn't noticed at all.
There was only one possibility: there was something else he considered an even greater threat.
"Could it be…" Moral Heavenly Venerable speculated, "Jiang Lu found a way to free Queen Mother of the West before he died?"
"Possibly." Spiritual Treasures Heavenly Venerable nodded, feeling that the idea made sense and that it was the only explanation.
Though unwilling to admit it, both Moral Heavenly Venerable and Spiritual Treasures Heavenly Venerable knew that in the previous battles, they hadn't forced Primordial Heavenly Venerable to use his full power.
