"Wait!"
Just as the hook-nosed elder's talons were about to claw at Pei Ye's cheek, the latter trembled violently.
Lu Yuan spoke up nonchalantly, "No need to rush. I'll take care of it later."
"Yes."
Immediately, the hook-nosed elder withdrew his hand and stood calmly to the side.
Lu Yuan didn't feel any particular compassion for Pei Ye. He simply didn't want to make the scene bloody; it would be too unsightly.
DING DONG—
A message came through, and Lu Yuan casually clicked to read it.
It was from Yu Wentong.
It was rare for Yu Wentong to take the initiative to send him a message.
Upon reading the message, Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised. Yu Wentong asked him to spare Pei Ye's life, saying he could be useful.
Does Yu Wentong know I'm fighting with the Evil Martial Association?!
Did he see my act of claiming the title Demon Emperor?....
Lu Yuan felt inexplicably guilty, and then he couldn't help but wonder.
