"This..."
Tiandao Palace Holy Son narrowed his eyes, his pupils rolling.
No matter how much fury burned in his heart, the best outcome right now was undoubtedly to first persuade Ling Yue Shang to leave, ensuring that he could focus all his strength on Su Shi'er and Daoist Tianshan.
As for striking directly to kill, he naturally would not hesitate in the slightest against any other opponent.
But Ling Yue Shang held no low position within the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect. More importantly, her attainments in the Sword Dao were astonishing. Her cultivation realm matched his current one, and her strength ranked among the very best.
If they truly fought, even if he could win, it certainly would not come easily.
That would instead give Su Shi'er and the other man more room to maneuver.
This... was not the outcome he wanted to see.
His thoughts turning in secret, Tiandao Palace Holy Son was about to send a voice transmission.
Yet at that very moment, Su Shi'er's true body spoke first.
"Holy Son merely wishes to say that his cooperation with this demonic cultivator is nothing more than using him. Once Fellow Daoist Su and this mountain dweller are taken down, he will kill this demonic cultivator on the spot.
"Of course... there should be more to it than that. This demonic cultivator is also a key piece in the plan laid by the devil hiding in the shadows. Cooperating with a demonic cultivator would also allow him to gain a deeper grasp of the Devil Race's plans. Then, once the demonic cultivator is slain, the Devil Race's plans can be ruined."
Su Shi'er held a Fly Whisk in his hand. As he spoke, his gaze swiftly swept over the Demonic Cultivator Body before settling once more on Tiandao Palace
