The Cangming Sea Dragon's human immortal incarnation wore a cold, aloof expression, without a trace of a smile.
Lin Fei met his gaze, but smiled first.
"Heh, Senior Demon Saint, why so serious all of a sudden?"
"Are you really going to kill me?"
The Cangming Sea Dragon snorted coldly.
"I don't like being deceived and used. If you deceive me, you'll have only yourself to blame for your death."
Lin Fei raised an eyebrow and put on a cold expression of his own.
Although he had said those words to draw the Cangming Sea Dragon out, he hadn't actually lied.
"Since you insist on being so unaccommodating, Senior Demon Saint, let's keep this strictly business."
"If I help you break through to the earth immortal realm, how will you repay me?"
The expression of the Cangming Sea Dragon's human immortal incarnation shifted slightly.
Does this brat really have a way?
He secretly rejoiced, but remained cold and aloof.
"According to our previous agreement, if you help me break through to the earth immortal realm, I can protect the Mountain Sea Alliance."
"All the demonic beasts in the Myriad Demon Sea can also join the Mountain Sea Alliance and stand with you through thick and thin."
Lin Fei scoffed and shook his head.
Back then, he had been the weaker party, with little bargaining leverage, so he had accepted those terms.
But things were different now.
"Senior, you say you can protect the Mountain Sea Alliance, but how can I trust you?"
"What if you turn your back on us after your breakthrough?"
"Or what if the Mountain Sea Alliance faces a celestial immortal, and you cling to life and fear death, refusing to act? What then?"
The Cangming Sea Dragon's human immortal incarnation frowned, his face full of displeasure.
