Different Beliefs

After seeing through Xuan Ting's true form, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame's expression was very complicated, and it remained silent for a long time.

He wondered why this person named Xuan Ting gave him a vague sense of similarity.

It turns out that the other person, like himself, was born from the gathering of spiritual energy by things of heaven and earth.

However, one of them is fire, and the other is thunder.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame spoke again, "Nine Profound Golden Lightning, there is no conflict of interest between us. You are the spirit of lightning, and I am the spirit of Heavenly Flames. We can actually cooperate!"

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame spoke these words very seriously.

Furthermore, unlike his superficial harmony with Ji Li, he genuinely wanted to cooperate with Xuan Ting!

Because of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame no longer trusts any human.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for him to genuinely cooperate with a human.

Earlier, in the words of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, he didn't need any allies!

He couldn't trust humans.

As for their own kind, they are even more dangerous!

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame had no doubt that if the Nihility Devouring Flame encountered it, its first choice would definitely be to devour it, rather than cooperate with it.

Similarly, if he had that ability, he would also want to devour the Nihility Devouring Flame!

Because the mutual devouring of Heavenly Flames is an instinct.

It would be extremely beneficial for them to devour each other.

Especially now that the gap in strength between him and the Nihility Devouring Flame is widening, he has no intention of handing himself over to the Nihility Devouring Flame to be devoured.

But the Nine Profound Golden Lightning is different!

It is the spirit of thunder and lightning!

Firstly, they are all creations of heaven and earth; secondly, unlike him and the Nihility Devouring Flame, they do not devour each other.

Therefore, it must be said that Xuan Ting is indeed the only collaborator that the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame can trust!

But will Xuan Ting agree to the cooperation request made by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame?

"Cooperation... I've only been in this world for a short time, so I don't really know anyone..."

As soon as the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame finished speaking, Xuan Ting's face showed a thoughtful expression.

Upon hearing Xuan Ting's words, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame's eyes lit up even more!

If he could cooperate with the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, he was confident that he could break the seal on the Demonic Flame Space and leave this place this time.

"So..."

"Etc!"

However, just as the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was about to discuss cooperation with Xuan Ting further, he interrupted her first.

Upon seeing this, the joyful expression on the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame's face vanished, and it cast a questioning gaze over.

There is no conflict of interest between him and the Nine Profound Golden Lightning; cooperation should be the best option!

He didn't know what else the other party wanted him to wait for.

"Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, I want to know, what is your view of humanity?"

Suddenly, Xuan Ting asked a question that puzzled the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

Moreover, the topic shift caught him off guard for a moment.

However, after a moment of stunned silence, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame remembered the question Xuan Ting had asked, and a look of disgust appeared on its face.

"Hmph, humans are greedy, cunning, treacherous, and prone to repaying kindness with enmity! Haven't you seen it all? My current predicament, and these guys who want to subdue me—they're nothing but their worst traits!"

After letting out a cold snort, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame revealed its impressions of humans.

Perhaps her heart has truly become twisted; the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame only has negative views of humans!

After hearing the description of humans by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, Xuan Ting's expression remained unchanged.

Then, after what seemed like an eternity, Xuan Ting finally spoke, "Actually, before I came here, I had already heard some rumors about you from other people..."

At this moment, a strange look finally appeared on Xuan Ting's face.

"Rumors about me? So what?"

Clearly, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame did not understand the meaning behind Xuan Ting's words.

"Rumor has it that you have a tyrannical personality and seem to harbor an innate hostility towards humans. Even the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint perished in her later years due to your backlash."

Ignoring the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, Xuan Ting continued speaking to himself.

Before coming to the Demonic Flame Space, Xuan Ting had learned some legends about the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame from passersby.

However, in these legends, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame doesn't seem to be very friendly to humans.

Now, Xuan Ting has received direct verification from the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame!

What exactly are you trying to say?

At this moment, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame also clearly sensed that something was wrong with Xuan Ting.

What I want to say is, I refuse your request for cooperation!

This time, Xuan Ting spoke very frankly, without the slightest hesitation in his tone.

However, as Xuan Ting finished speaking, the expression on the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame's face darkened.

"Why? I can't find a reason for you to reject me!"

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, still somewhat unwilling to give up, pressed on with the question.

"Because of the humans you speak of."

Xuan Ting's words sounded somewhat incomprehensible to the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

"Humans?"

Upon hearing this, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was stunned.

He never imagined that the reason Nine Profound Golden Lightning refused to cooperate with him was because of humans?

This surprised him greatly, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

"That's right, it's all because of humans! The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, do you know? Actually, I originally had no hope of successfully gathering spirits to become what I am now. Back then, with only nascent intelligence, I was just as irritable when I sensed that I would most likely fail to gather spirits."

However, it was a human who intervened, giving me a chance to successfully gather spiritual energy.

And I did it.

And so, I became who I am today.

In my view, there may be evil among humans, but there is far more good, and that is precisely why this world exists.

Our philosophies differ; your prejudice against humanity runs too deep!

That's why I'm rejecting you.

When Xuan Ting said these words, his expression was very solemn.

Yes, compared to the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, who is born with negative emotions towards humans due to his twisted personality, Xuan Ting is exactly the opposite.

Because he achieved his current status through the gathering of spiritual energy with Xiao Lin's help, Xuan Ting has an innate affinity for humans.

Just as Xuan Ting said, there is no possibility of cooperation between him and the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame because of their different ideologies!

"You actually completed the spirit gathering with the help of humans?"

After hearing Xuan Ting's explanation, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was also taken aback.

However, since Xuan Ting had been so blunt, he naturally knew that cooperation between the two sides was indeed impossible.

Otherwise, they will inevitably end up fighting over human issues sooner or later.

So let's just cut off any possibility of cooperation between us from the very beginning!

Then, their eyes met.

They've decided to settle the score!
