Pangu Taiqing kept his face calm and did not speak, but deep inside, he had already begun pondering his contingency plan. At this point, he already knew that he likely would not be Jiang Chen's match this time—a defeat was merely a matter of time.
However, while he could lose, he could not let go of the control over the Netherworld—or rather, he absolutely could not allow the Netherworld to fall into the hands of Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen had yet to take control of the Netherworld, and even now, Pangu Taiqing was unable to suppress him. If Jiang Chen managed to grasp the Netherworld, the consequences would be unthinkable. He might even end up being manipulated by Jiang Chen in the future.
"Everyone, I know you have your own trump cards. Help me stall Jiang Chen for a while so I can divide the Netherworld."
"Come what may—even if we have to destroy the Netherworld—we cannot let it fall under Jiang Chen's control."
