Li Zhongnan's expression was odd, as it were a strange thing indeed to be summoned by the Emperor for anything good.
Zhongnan was not the least bit perturbed by the Emperor.
Even if the entire Taihua Dynasty still harbored many hidden experts, Zhongnan also had his own pride.
He simply decided to meet this Emperor and replied, "Very well, I shall meet the Emperor."
Seeing Zhongnan agree so readily to Fang Shuo, the Ancient Celestial Fiend and the others were immediately filled with immense anxiety. Anyone could see that the Emperor's summoning of Zhongnan this time surely carried no good intentions.
Thus, they became even more wary of Fang Shuo.
Zhongnan was now their lord, not to mention that the lives and livelihoods of the three of them depended on him, Zhongnan also possessed treasures like refined Spiritual Energy, which could elevate them to even greater heights than before.
