"With the strength of the demon monk, his life isn't under threat for now, only... even if he survives, he'll be a cripple!"
With her head lowered, Du Fei added, "Moreover, once the demon monk's strength declines, controlling the deadly poison will become even more difficult, meaning he could die at any moment!"
Xiao Chen frowned.
Truth be told, the demon monk was among the most unpredictable of the Black Guards. He was indeed loyal to Xiao Chen, but he had his own will. If Xiao Chen needed him, he would appear immediately.
However, unlike the other Black Guards, he wouldn't linger around Xiao Chen all the time.
Despite this, Xiao Chen still regarded him as one of his own!
Hearing this news now, Xiao Chen felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
"Is there really no other way?"
Xiao Chen was still looking for a final confirmation.
Instead of answering directly, Du Fei hesitated, as though she had something to say but was holding back.
