True Person Yuheng was a legendary Divine Person in the Demon Hunter circle. Even at the Demon Hunting Department headquarters, he would be afforded a measure of respect.
Yet before Mister Wu, he did not even dare breathe too loudly. He could only refer to himself as a junior, and even then, he seemed restless with unease...
Xu Rong watched with a complicated expression, waves churning through her heart.
The atmosphere grew somewhat awkward, and the old Daoist wore a similarly uneasy, ashamed look.
Wu Tao had never cared about such things, nor did he put on any lofty airs. Once he understood why the man had come, a trace of appreciation appeared in his eyes.
"Rare indeed."
"To possess such a heart to exterminate demons and uphold the Dao, to travel such a long distance and wait here so patiently—it is truly commendable. Such a Righteous Dao Heart is more precious than anything else."
"As for your cultivation, there is no need to dwell on it. Blue Star's spiritual energy is thin; for you to have achieved minor success in cultivating the Dao is already enough to look down upon countless others."
"However, if you wish to destroy the demon spirit in the lake..."
"Ah..."
At that point, Wu Tao looked at the old Daoist and let out a soft sigh.
Hearing so much encouragement, True Person Yuheng was overwhelmed with excitement. At the same time, he knew his own cultivation was no match for the demon spirit in the lake. That this senior could put it so tactfully already filled his eyes with gratitude.
Yuhengzi hurriedly saluted, his eyes filled only with solemn concern.
"This junior's cultivation is limited. It is truly shameful."
"That demon spirit is so formidable. Does Senior have any way to deal with it?"
