Rhino Emperor's words left Wang Yi silent.
For so long, being caught between the two sides had caused Rhino Emperor unbearable pain.
The Ancient Clan oppressed and slaughtered cultivators, and Rhino Emperor could not stand idly by.
Likewise, if cultivators harmed the Ancient Clan, Rhino Emperor would likely have been just as troubled.
In truth, he held feelings for both camps.
But his origins made it impossible for him to make the best choice.
