Before coming here, he had imagined countless scenarios, all of them ending with him torturing and killing Ye Xuan. He had never once considered that a mere Tier Four Celestial Martial Artist could pose any threat to him.
However…
At this moment, Elder Gale finally understood.
He finally understood why Ye Xuan was so fearless and had wasted time talking with him. It wasn't because he was an idiot, but because he truly had the confidence to back it up.
He had seen Ye Xuan as prey he could easily capture, single-mindedly focused on plundering his treasures. He never imagined that Ye Xuan also saw him as prey, ready to be hunted at any moment.
But he didn't understand. How on earth did Ye Xuan have a Demon King following him? And how could that Demon King be willing to intervene for him at a critical moment?
After all, the vast majority of Profound Beasts were extremely hostile toward humans. It was impossible for them to coexist peacefully, let alone follow one around.
