"Heh." The young man dressed in white merely sneered in response to the hooded man's comments, showing little regard for his words.
The hooded man looked the youth up and down, smiling, "You might not necessarily be able to defeat me now."
The young man in white, composed, replied, "I am not here to fight you, but to propose an alliance with you."
"An alliance? Let's hear it," the hooded man asked without a change in his expression.
The young man in white did not speak immediately, instead glancing at the silver-haired woman sitting cross-legged not far away, a hint of apprehension in his eyes.
"Who is she?" the young man in white frowned and asked.
The hooded man said nonchalantly, "Just a demon beast in human form, pay no attention to her."
Upon hearing this, the young man was slightly shocked. For a demon beast to transform into a human form required a significantly high level of cultivation.
