While Lu Xiaotian regulated his breathing, the Phantom Shadow Scorpion King tactfully patrolled the surroundings and took on the task of keeping watch. In truth, the Phantom Shadow Scorpion King found the atmosphere beside Lu Xiaotian stiflingly oppressive. Little did he know that as Lu Xiaotian watched him walk away, his own eyes flickered as well.
Lu Xiaotian had not never considered taking the opportunity to dispose of the Phantom Shadow Scorpion King, either. After all, he had witnessed Lu Xiaotian wield the Demon-Suppressing Tower. From Lu Xiaotian's perspective, dead men naturally kept secrets better. As for Ban Qianzhi, his life and death were currently under Lu Xiaotian's control, so there was no need to worry about that.
The thought merely flashed through his mind before Lu Xiaotian dismissed it. At present, the Phantom Shadow Scorpion King was not the only one who knew that he cultivated the Buddhist Sect's core techniques; the Devil Lord was one of them as well. With his current strength, there was no way he could contend with the Devil Lord. If he really killed the Phantom Shadow Scorpion King, all it would take was a single sentence for the Devil Lord to reveal the matter to the outside world.
Once they entered the Netherdemon Corpse Grounds, if the Crimson Azure Ape King made trouble, the Phantom Shadow Scorpion King would at least be a powerful teammate.
After abandoning that idea, Lu Xiaotian calmed his mind and regulated his breathing. The battle with the Four-Winged Mantis had consumed a great deal of energy, especially when he had used the Demon-Suppressing Tower to withstand its Windshadow Demonlight. Lu Xiaotian had paid a considerable price for that battle, only managing to kill his opponent after activating the Eight-Trigram Star Origin Mountain-Shaking Formation.
