The Final Intersection

Matthias's affected smile made Diluk narrow his eyes slightly.

After all, Matthias had hit the mark.

Diluk had long anticipated this outcome.

It was not particularly difficult to foresee.

During his earlier meeting with Fang Li, Diluk had already confirmed that Fang Li would become an obstacle to him.

Under such circumstances, Diluk's trump card was still in Fang Li's hands.

And Fang Li's master was the Demon Immortal, someone everyone had no choice but to fear.
