"I am an Outer Realm Demon."
Xu Xuan revealed his true identity at this moment.
Yun Meng hadn't reacted yet; he was still immersed in his fantasy that if he successfully convinced this mysterious expert to join Great Li, he would be credited with a great achievement.
In Great Li, merit was key to advancement, and promotions were strictly tied to military achievements. Among cultivators of the same cultivation level, the treatment could vary immensely, with the gap defined by military merits.
So when Xu Xuan uttered those words, Yun Meng failed to comprehend for a moment, replying subconsciously, "Outer Realm Demon? An Outer Realm Demon is good, I will just... What?"
Looking up, he saw Xu Xuan unleashing an overwhelming presence and a gigantic hand descending upon him.
Yun Meng thought to resist, but it was already too late. The hand covered his head, and a heart-piercing pain shot straight into his brain, causing him to lose consciousness instantly.
