Xin Ziming returned to the Qilin base within two days.

One day after that, just after returning from a demon hunt, Akai ran in panickingly with a letter to find him.

“Who’s letter makes you panic like this?” He asked while removing the armor and washing his face.　

The saints in the auxiliary department rarely participate in actual combat. Their upgrade had always been much slower than the combat saints fighting on the front line. The spiritual saint who could rank among the top was the only lord of Qilin, Xin Ziming. In addition to his talent, he never stayed behind the scenes and always tempered himself on the front line of the battlefield.

All the members of Qilin were obedient to their city lord. In front of the always strict and calm city lord, few people dared to scream like that.　　

“Yeah, Ye… Ye Peitian,” Akai stammered.　　

In fact, when that figure of Ye Peitian appeared at the door of the regiment and handed him the letter coldly, his legs went soft. The aura brought to him by the Yellow Sand Emperor seemed to be more powerful than before. But standing there without a word made them feel powerless to resist. Under tremendous pressure, he stepped forward and took the letter in his hand. The clothes on Akay’s back were soaked wet. Fortunately, the Yellow Sand Emperor did not embarrass them, he gave him the letter and left.

“Oh, he gave it in person?” Xin Ziming wiped his hands dry, took the envelope, and opened it.

“What did he say?” Akai and the rest of the Qilin’s warriors were very curious. The previous time, the city lord did not take them with him, but brought back the body of the tenth-order demon. He refined two tenth-order weapons in one breath. At that time, they had speculation in their hearts, but they were not sure to think about Ye Peitian.

“Nothing, he found a high-level demon and asked me to fight it with him.”

“What? Ye Peitian? Will you really fight with Ye Peitian?” Akai thought for a moment, and then he rejoiced, “Does that mean that our Corps will soon have a tenth-order weapon?”

When Ye Peitian was their enemy, he was a frightening existence, but if he became a comrade-in-arm, things would be completely different. He was the only tenth-order strongman known to mankind at present. After forming a team with such a person, the high-level demon body was almost a thing in the bag.

Akai thought of the tenth-order weapon that may not even be present in other places. If they could get two or three pieces again, other teams would be jealous to death.

Thinking of that, Akai laughed.

Xin Ziming, looking at the letter in his hand, fell into another kind of thinking. Ye Peitian was a public enemy of all mankind and was an existence coveted by countless huge forces in the dark. On one hand, Xin Ziming wanted to make a deal with him, on the other hand, he selfishly hoped that their relationship would only be maintained in secret, rather than publicizing it to everyone, so as to not cause unnecessary trouble to Qilin.

Before, judging from previous legends, he was a silent and lonely man, and Xin Ziming felt that his ideas were fully achievable. But now, Ye Peitian stood in front of the regiment in broad daylight and handed him an invitation letter. The meaning there was actually to let him express his attitude publicly.

Xin Ziming repeatedly weighed it in his heart. If he openly stood on the half demon’s side, he had to bear certain adverse consequences. But the benefits were as obvious as Akai said.

Xin Ziming sat down on the chair, stretched out two fingers, and gently clasped the table alternately. He remembered seeing Ye Peitian for the first time. At that time, the man was dark, and he looked like he was unrequited and self-abrupt. But when they met each other, Xin Ziming keenly discovered that he was quite different. He had brought a kind of freshness. Such Ye Peitian was powerful as expected.
