At this moment, what was desperately needed was a piece of good news of sufficient weight to ease everyone's pressure.
And the news of reaching a non-aggression pact with Taiping Dao was undoubtedly weighty enough.
Indeed.
Upon hearing this great news, the faces of the True Persons, who had been frowning with worry, instantly changed, and they began to beam with joy.
Even the most reserved among the True Persons couldn't help but curl the corners of their mouths into a slight smile.
"Taiping Dao has reached an agreement with us?"
"I've said it long ago, Taiping Dao and our Nine Provinces are interdependent. If we fall, they can't survive either. If they are sensible, they should join hands with us to fight against Changqing Immortal Sect."
