"Roar~ You reacted pretty quickly."
Nihility Devouring Flame looked at Xiao Yan, who had shielded Xun'er behind him. With a wave of his hand, the Boundless Purgatory Ruler shot out from the void and landed firmly in his grasp. While warily watching Nihility Devouring Flame, he spread his senses through the surroundings, his brow tightly furrowed.
Based on what had happened before, Nihility Devouring Flame should have been the number one figure beneath Hun Tiandi of the Soul Clan. Now that Nihility Devouring Flame had suddenly come to attack him, did that mean Hun Tiandi was also—
"Don't worry, that guy didn't come." Nihility Devouring Flame folded his arms, immediately seeing through Xiao Yan's thoughts. A mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "She should be focusing on breaking through to Dou Di right now. No need to be so tense."
Naturally, Xiao Yan was not foolish enough to believe Nihility Devouring Flame's words. He slowly held the Boundless Purgatory Ruler across his body and questioned him in a cold voice.
"What do you want? If Hun Tiandi is truly focused on breaking through to Dou Di, then shouldn't you, as her companion, remain by her side and protect her?"
"Huh? Companion?" The flame-covered face of Nihility Devouring Flame, whose features could not be made out, clearly raised an eyebrow. "Don't joke around. If you were a Heavenly Flame, would you regard someone who coveted absorbing you every day as a companion? Forget being a Protector—if I had the ability, I would be the one who most wanted to kill her."
Hm?
Upon hearing Nihility Devouring Flame's words, Xiao Yan and Xun'er were both stunned. Nihility Devouring Flame stared at Xiao Yan and crooked a finger at him.
"Xiao Yan, how about we make a deal?"
"A deal?"
