“Me,” said Immortal Lord Qingyuan earnestly.
He held a white jade seal in his hand, and under the warm, crystalline light emanating from it, all the demonic beasts took a step back.
It wasn't out of fear, but rather... they all held the jade seal in high esteem.
Wang Shu Shaojun knows why.
That was the last thing left behind by the Nameless Immortal. All the demon beasts that were protected by the Nameless Immortal would willingly obey the master of the jade seal.

You will no longer be inferior to others, and I will grant you new territory. The past grudges and conflicts will be settled here." He made such an irresistible offer, and then looked earnestly at the sword-wielding woman standing tall in the clouds.
"Spare my subordinates, and I will stay by your side as a hostage."
