After stabbing Tang Qianqiu to death, Ying Gui held his dying, bloody head and knelt in front of Li Chen.
"Immortal Master Li, Tang Qianqiu and Feng Yunhai overestimated themselves and sought to provoke you. I have beheaded him, and with this I offer my fealty, willing to become your underling. I shall exert all efforts like that of a dog or a horse!"
The sudden twist in the plot left Li Chen slightly astonished.
It seemed that Ying Gui was indeed a cunning man, realizing that if the deadlock continued, he would undoubtedly die. So he used his companion's head as his token of allegiance to bargain for a way out.
Li Chen glanced at Tang Qianqiu's blood-drenched head and coldly said, "But I have no need for underlings."
Ying Gui's heart skipped a beat, as he had thought that by switching sides as a half-Demigod realm expert, Immortal Master Li would surely be overjoyed.
But he had never expected to be rejected!
