Serena Feng felt a wave of emotion at Zed's cold-blooded ruthlessness, but the Demon Sect members—and even Rowan Bloom—acted as if it were perfectly normal. In fact, when the Demon Sect heard Zed speak this way, their eyes lit up with joy.
Serena felt a tightness in her chest, but after thinking it through, she was able to let it go. Seeing the personalities of Rowan Bloom and Zed, it was easy to guess just how cold-blooded and selfish the Demon Sect members were at heart.
If sacrificing Rowan Bloom could keep them alive, they would be absolutely thrilled.
Although the Demon Sect has done well for itself these past years, it has never been accepted by the various nations or the martial world. Their desire to survive is even stronger than most people’s, and they—
don’t understand concepts like benevolence or morality. All they care about is surviving—living well—even if it means stepping over their own comrades’ corpses to do so.
Serena watched Ninth Royal Uncle, wanting to see what he would do.
A group like this, if left alive, would only bring disaster. If it were up to her, she would choose to eliminate them completely, even if her heart felt uneasy—just to prevent future trouble.
Zed, this child—so vicious at such a young age—would surely grow up to be a great demon king.
But Ninth Royal Uncle’s decision surprised Serena. He raised his blade high, but brought it down gently—not only did he generously spare the Demon Sect members, he didn’t even demand Rowan Bloom’s life. Instead, he tossed the half-dead Rowan Bloom to Zed.
Handled like this? Wasn’t Ninth Royal Uncle here to find something in the Demon Sect? If he lets Rowan Bloom go, how will he get what he came for?
