Upon receiving this reminder from Tao Qian, everyone came to their senses.
Master Tao, now quite imposing, still had his life hanging in the balance.
He could have been safe before, with the strong Sui Chaozi himself promising protection.
But he took it upon himself to change the conditions, asking for the lineage of Tianzhi Gong to help craft the Governance Divine Machine.
Though Sui Chaozi offered a great favor in return, providing a Mechanical Divine Army, most thought the trade was not worth the cost.
Compared to life and death, everything else naturally became trivial.
The audience also understood why Long Meng Arhat panicked upon hearing that Shenxiu Monk intended to join Tao Qian's command and be at his disposal.
Clearly, the Arhat knew the stakes involved.
He even believed that Master Tao was destined to die.
