Li Zhengzhi felt increasingly suspicious the more he pondered. If the Demon race possessed such formidable power, why, after launching a mental attack on Long Xingyu to force his cultivation to regress, did they not simply kill him?
With Elric’s capabilities, killing Long Xingyu would naturally be effortless. However, Liuliu, the avatar of the Heavenly Dao, had warned that Long Xingyu must not die, lest the order of the Heavenly Dao fall into chaos. Thus, whether it was Fengxiu or Elric, both were forced to let Long Xingyu keep his miserable life, leaving him to linger in survival.
Elric had originally held no interest in dealing with Long Xingyu. Had the man not blocked Long Haochen’s path, stirred up trouble, and inquired about Bai Yue’s whereabouts, Elric would never have bothered to take action.
