Venerable God Devourer was certain Ling Tian couldn't destroy the Ginseng Fruit Tree, so he had no need to worry about ending up with nothing. Although the offer of Ginseng Fruits and even Ginseng Pills had tempted him, he didn't want to be beholden to anyone. He wanted to kill Ling Tian and claim the tree for himself. In Venerable God Devourer's eyes, Ling Tian was offering him Ginseng Fruits and Ginseng Pills because his strength posed a great threat. If Ling Tian and the others eventually reached the near-sage level, they probably wouldn't give him any more.
If that was the case, then it was better to act while Ling Tian and the others were still weak and seize the Ginseng Fruit Tree for himself.
"Senior, are you really so confident you can kill me?" Ling Tian asked again. As he spoke, he looked at Venerable God Devourer. "If I hide, like Chi Xue, would you still be confident you could find me and kill me?"
Wen Yan frowned slightly. He knew that if Ling Tian hid, it would indeed be difficult to find him. In that case, obtaining the Ginseng Fruit Tree would be difficult too—just as he couldn't find Chi Xue or the Outer Realm Demon Race cultivators now, and so couldn't act against them.
But when he considered another matter, Venerable God Devourer's frown relaxed. "If you'd fled and hidden before, I naturally would have had no way to deal with you. But now that you've appeared before me, I won't give you the chance to escape and hide. Even if you hide in this base, it'll be the same."
Venerable God Devourer had great confidence in his strength. Even if Ling Tian hid inside the base, he could teleport straight to him and stop him
