"This Dark Night Demon Venerable… his cultivation and aura are no weaker than my own. Dealing with him will likely be very difficult. We must devise a proper plan and not act rashly."
Elder Long's voice spoke, calm and measured.
Yang Xiao's face, however, lit up when he heard this.
He took a step forward and asked eagerly, "Elder Long, does this mean you have a good plan?"
Seeing his eagerness, Elder Long chuckled.
He deliberately drew out his words. "There is a way, yes. The question is whether you can pull it off."
"Pull it off? What do you need me to do, Elder Long? I will absolutely not refuse."
Hearing this, Elder Long nodded slightly. "It seems you finally understand what a Common Lord of the Human Race, a successor to the Human Emperor, ought to do. You understand the need to protect your people. Good. I am gratified. In that case, I'll put everything on the line to help you."
As he spoke, Elder Long's expression grew increasingly solemn.
Yang Xiao was taken aback.
