"Immortal Master, if we do this, won't Ye Chen discover our plans? If he eventually leads the other cultivators to rise up against us, that would be extremely disadvantageous for us," Yeling said.
Naturally, before the battle began, he was gathering as much information as possible to maximize his chances later. He was still unaware that deep within the consciousness of the Deling Grandmaster, another terrifying presence resided.
Deling Grandmaster was merely acting according to the demands of that formidable entity; he had little choice in the matter. According to his plan, he hoped to first absorb the vital essence of those cultivators before facing Ye Chen in a final showdown. Of course, after defeating Ye Chen, he could refine him as well. While it meant Ye Chen’s strength would be depleted and the harvest would be smaller, it mattered little to him. Most importantly, this approach was far safer.
