Protected at Ling Xiao's side, Long Haochen remained utterly unfazed by Huang Shuo's overwhelming, tsunami-like aura.
This was exactly what he wanted—the other side growing anxious.
However, to prevent anything from going wrong, Long Haochen did not continue dragging things out, lest they become desperate and lash out.
"Why should I tell you?"
Faced with Long Haochen's retort, Huang Shuo merely replied coldly, "If anything has happened to A Bao and the others, I will report it to His Majesty and level Zhennan Pass, slaughtering you humans at any cost!"
As he spoke, a terrifying killing intent surged from Huang Shuo's body.
Anyone could tell that he was not joking.
It seemed that the ten members of the Demon Race had failed to emerge from Dream Paradise, and this had already made Huang Shuo, commander of the Black Dragon Guard, rather anxious.
That was only natural.
It would have been one thing if members of other races had met with mishaps, but if A Bao and Leng Xiao of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan had come to harm, it would be a devastating blow to the entire Demon Race.
After all, the current Demon God Emperor, Fengxiu, had only these two children.
Though Demon God Emperor Fengxiu was still in his prime, due to his race, his fertility had long since declined to the point where it was nearly impossible for him to have more offspring.
If anything happened to A Bao and Leng Xiao, the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan would have no successors.
Should such a thing truly happen, Huang Shuo, as the leader of the expedition, would not be able to escape blame and would inevitably bear the Demon God Emperor's wrath.
At the thought of Demon God Emperor Fengxiu's methods, Huang Shuo could not help but shudder.
