"Ah, so you have no intention of handing her over." Just as Lu Heng prepared to negotiate with the other party, he heard a sigh from the figure shrouded in white mist. "I thought the Saint Demon Emperor was a reasonable man. Who would have thought you were so obstinate? Since you refuse to hand her over, I'll take her myself. If you bastard dare stand in my way again, I'll slaughter your Saint Demon Palace down to the last chicken and dog!"
