Chapter 1081: Battle Of Devil Emperors
In truth, Devil Emperor Xue Gu was quite perplexed by Wu Yuan's sudden arrival; because he truly couldn't identify Wu Yuan. To him, this was a completely unfamiliar Devil Emperor he'd never encountered before.
He had met most of the Devil Emperors in the Abyss, and had at least heard rumors about the rest, knowing a little about them.
Devil Emperor Xia? He'd never heard of such a person.
Therefore, he couldn't gauge Wu Yuan's strength and didn't dare to attack rashly. He wasn't certain if Wu Yuan had truly come for Sovereign Gui Chi or for the Flower of Sin.
Although Devil Emperor Xue Gu considered himself extremely cautious, it was hard to guarantee he hadn't revealed any clues.
One couldn't blame Devil Emperor Xue Gu for overthinking; the Flower of Sin was simply too great a matter.
"Devil Emperor Xue Gu." Wu Yuan's voice was cold. "I have no intention of being your enemy. I only want Sovereign Gui Chi. Hand him over, and we can still be friends.
"I don't think you need to make a mortal enemy of me over a late-stage Sovereign, do you?"
If they were fighting elsewhere, Wu Yuan wouldn't think twice about attacking Devil Emperor Xue Gu. But this was his opponent’s home turf. Wu Yuan wasn't absolutely confident he could kill his opponent, so his primary goal was to make a deal with Sovereign Gui Chi first.
"Hmph!" Devil Emperor Xue Gu's tone changed as well. "If I hand him over today, what face would I, Xue Gu, have left? Leave immediately, and I may overlook your crime of trespassing."
Firstly, it would indeed be humiliating for Devil Emperor Xue Gu to hand someone over without any resistance. Those who could become Devil Emperors had all risen to power from endless slaughter, each extremely proud. If Devil Emperor Xue Gu didn't have so many concerns, he would have already turned hostile and attacked.
