A faint hesitation stirred within his heart. At present, he lacked the strength to withstand the Azure Emperor's wrath. He dared not take such a risk.
Yet, an innate spirit-gathering body was so rare. If he obtained her and used her to refine a medicinal pill, perhaps he could ascend to become an Emperor. Then, he would naturally be powerful enough to stand against the Azure Emperor...
For a moment, two thoughts battled within his mind. Reason told him not to take this risk, yet another voice in his head urged him not to miss this opportunity.
If he slaughtered everyone here! Then no one would ever know who had taken the disciple of the Azure Emperor! Even if the Azure Emperor discovered the truth someday, by then, he might already have ascended to become an Emperor.
This thought sent a surge of excitement coursing through him once more. He stared at the child clutching the Divine Whip, gazing at her as if she were a priceless treasure.
