"What?"
"Divine Beast?" Both Lant Semi-Divine and Bai Shan Semi-Divine were startled.
This touched on something they knew little about.
"This Heaven Snake must be what Li Yuan acquired from the Mingxu Star Realm, and it must be his Spirit Beast," Dongfang Ji said, "With the help of the Heaven Snake, Li Yuan might be able to escape."
"Isn't there a contingency plan?" Lant Semi-Divine couldn't help asking.
"Before the operation began, I had inquired with Li Yuan, and he said that even when facing a demigod, he had the assurance of preserving his life... that's why I allowed him to join the battle," Dongfang Ji said softly, "I believe in him."
"Furthermore,"
"The Star Realms I have selected are all under a great deal of control... but we cannot foresee all circumstances," Dongfang Ji shook his head, "With rewards come risks."
"There is no such thing as only reaping benefits in this world."
