To be honest, handing over Shan Wei's Innate Divine Soul left Ye Zhen with a sense of unwillingness.
However, the Demon Clan's military threat was not fabricated, nor could it be taken lightly. Especially with such a large-scale military threat, no one dared to ignore it.
Moreover, Ye Zhen understood the underlying intention of Governor Ni Feng. With Dingbian Fortress located within his Blood River Fortress defense area, if the Demon Clan launched a massive attack, and he was at odds with Shan Zhengchun, the Fort Lord of Dingbian Fortress, it might very well impact the overall situation.
Under these circumstances, Ye Zhen was compelled to compromise.
While he had destroyed Shan Wei's physical body, causing him to suffer endless torment within an hour, far beyond any pain he had experienced in his lifetime.
However, letting him go just like that was still too easy. Ye Zhen had to consider the hundreds of valuable lives and the dignity of dozens of his brothers.
