"In this campaign against the Grand Xia," True Immortal Whitepole said coldly, "Everyone has tasks to accomplish. If someone makes a mistake…don't blame me when I report it to Master!"
"Fellow Daoist Whitepole, don't worry; the conquest of the Grand Xia is the most important mission we have been assigned," the Cavemaster of the Myriad Demons Cave said. "None of us will slack off."
"Fellow Daoist, don't worry," the Hallmaster of Bloodcloud Hall said with a merry smile as well.
"Senior apprentice-brother, just watch and see what we can do. We absolutely must conquer the Grand Xia!" Gatemaster Azurefox chimed in as well.
True Immortal Whitepole nodded lightly. "Good. Since Master has assigned me to lead the conquest of the Grand Xia…I truly do not wish to lose. I'm going to win this battle, even if it costs me my life."
The other seven True Immortals/Empyrean Gods all exchanged glances, murmuring to themselves in secret.
