So,thisWangQuanDemusthavesomeotherintentions.

WangQuanDelookedatSuYi,slightlysurprised.Hesaidwithalowvoice,“Handoverthetechniquesthatyouhavecultivatedandallthetreasureonyou!MaybethenIwillletyoulive,orelse,youwilldieforsure.”

“Sothat’sthecase!”

SuYi’seyesshook.Soitwaslikethis.WangQuanDereallyhadsomeotherintentions.

But,SuYiknewthatthemysterioussphereoflightshouldnothavebeenrevealed.PerhapsWangQuanDewassuspiciousabouthiscultivationtechnique,the“SupremeChaoticYuanTechnique”.

“Rascal,don’tactanymore,mypatiencehasitslimits!”

SuYibeamedwithdelightandemotionallytookafewstepsback.

Suddenly,withalookofdeterminationinSuYi’seyes,heclenchedhisteethandjumpedoffthetallhangingcliff.
