He indeed had a little scheme in mind, because after all, this was the Demon King's Legacy, and for him who was just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator not long ago, every single item was worth risking for.
But after carefully considering it, he decided to be an honest person.
This was his first mission, and if he was dishonest, it would be difficult for him to gain trust in the future.
Not being trusted could very likely result in serving as cannon fodder during the next mission.
He did not let his guard down just because of the success of the first mission.
Instead, he heard Wan Tianchou's cold snort:
"But you didn't do well enough. When I asked you to use your killer moves, why did you hesitate?
If the Volcano Demon King was not already depleted of its power to resist at that time, it would have been hard for Fellow Daoist Fierce Ape and me to kill it on the spot even if we joined forces.
If we had let it escape, do you know the consequences?"
