Tongtian Hierarch said, "My power comes from the Heavenly Dao. Should the Heavenly Dao be harmed or feel threatened and need to react, I'm afraid I would be unable to refuse."
Yang Jian, the Six-Eared Macaque, and others all stood up with grave expressions.
Looking at them, it seemed they would intervene should Tongtian Hierarch truly make a move.
Seeing this, Tongtian Hierarch shook his head.
Yang Jian and the Six-Eared Macaque had both received his favor. Yet upon hearing he might pose a threat to Sha Chen, they did not hesitate to stand against him.
Although he felt a twinge of sorrow in his heart, in truth, he admired Yang Jian and the Six-Eared Macaque even more.
Not changing one's stance merely due to small favors from others—there are few who can clearly distinguish gratitude from grievances.
