"Linglong, you and I have always kept to our own sides of the river. I had no intention of involving myself in the struggle within your Earth Demon lineage. Why did you ambush me?"
Having narrowly escaped the calamity, Leng Lingpeng finally noticed that Fan Lei had long since fallen silent, dead beyond all doubt. His heart jolted, and he sensed that things were amiss.
Seeing that Shao Yi was also seriously wounded and certainly no match for that unfamiliar man, he felt a chill in his heart and spoke in a conciliatory tone.
