Therefore, if Hu Mei were to truly turn against him and attack, the vanguard of the Shattered Bone Clan behind him would likely crumble instantly. It seems that Hu Mei's statement that she didn't want to harm him was indeed true.
But Wang Yao quickly ruled out that possibility. He concluded that Hu Mei was not leaving the city to attack him because she did not want to, but because she could not!
Why? Hu Mei's stance has long been an open secret. Her true form is an ancient demon who has cultivated for thousands of years. Why would she show mercy just because she feels an instant connection with someone? That's absurd.

Besides, I didn't really go to the meeting alone. On the contrary, now you're guarding Longyan City all by yourself. If you don't have something to be afraid of, I'm afraid no one will believe you."
Wang Yao replied with a smile, but without making a sound, he took two more steps forward.
