As he spoke, Qingyuan True Cultivator smiled, took out a pill, and tipped his head back to swallow it.
Potent medicinal energy spread through his limbs and body, calming his turbulent Immortal Essence somewhat.
Only when the wound on his chest began to heal-
did he look at Ye Li and ask despite himself:
"What exactly happened outside?"
"Hidden Edge True Cultivator lied after he went out, and I caught him."
Ye Li said casually:
"Then I killed him in front of everyone. Other than that, I broke through to Path Opening inside the Water Dragon Platform."
"..."
Qingyuan True Cultivator waited a moment, but when nothing more followed, he asked in bewilderment:
"That's all?"
"That's all." Ye Li nodded slightly.
"...That really is your style."
Qingyuan True Cultivator shook his head with a chuckle.
He did not doubt the truth of those words.
Ye Li had easily killed even those two Demon Kings. What was so surprising about adding Hidden Edge to the list?
After a brief silence-
Qingyuan True Cultivator let his smile fade and solemnly cupped his hands toward Ye Li:
"Still, I must thank you for this."
"If you hadn't arrived in time... I fear I really would have died here today."
"No need to thank me," Ye Li said casually.
"Haven't you helped me plenty, too?"
From the Yin-Yang Sect to the Supreme Clarity Palace-
the many times this True Cultivator had helped him were enough for him to recognize the man's sincerity.
Now that he had the ability, what was wrong with lending a hand?
Besides, there were free Malice Points to collect!
No matter how he looked at it, he had lost nothing.
Qingyuan True Cultivator considered for a moment, then said frankly:
"There's something I think I should make clear to you."
