"I offer you two choices." Wu Heng's tone was calm. "First, submit to the Spirit Awakening Sect, and the Endless Desert will henceforth be incorporated into the religious domain. You may retain some autonomy. Second, you know the consequences..."
"Are you threatening me?" The Immortal Emperor's eyes narrowed. "Back when The Holy Court was powerful and wanted to eliminate you, I even sent people to Gold and Silver Island to seek shelter for you! Is this how you repay my kindness?"
This statement was half true, half false.
The two parties did not have a deep relationship before, and the Endless Desert's previous invitation valued Wu Heng's combat prowess. The offered terms were far from compelling enough for Wu Heng to rely on them.
At this moment, mentioning it was merely a matter of verbal sparring.
