"Me?"
Seeing the Demon Spirit Clan's Clan Master lock her gaze onto her, Wang Yuxian was quite surprised.
After all, she had already heard from Yao Cheng about how that great individual had come here to wait for someone.
But how could she possibly be the person that great individual was waiting for?
Tens of thousands of years had already passed.
She should have absolutely no connection to that great individual whatsoever.
"Do not feel pressured, Miss Wang. It is simply that this great individual has shown immense grace to our Demon Spirit Clan."
"When he came to our Demon Spirit Clan back then, he said he was waiting for a person. Unfortunately, before his passing, he never got to meet that person."
"However, this talent testing formation was left behind by that great individual. We have always wondered whether the formation might be connected to the person he was waiting for."
"Over these tens of thousands of countless people within our clan have stepped onto this talent testing formation. But you are the first to cause a reaction from that great individual's pendant."
"In truth, had you not come, we would never have known that his pendant could react in such a way."
"That is why I suspect the person he was waiting for may be you."
The Demon Spirit Clan's Clan Master explained to Wang Yuxian patiently.
"Senior, if I truly am the person that great individual was waiting for, is there something I need to do?"
Wang Yuxian asked.
"There is no need. We do not know why that great individual wanted to wait for someone in the first place."
"Of course, whether it is truly you or not, we cannot be certain. It is simply because your presence caused his pendant to react, which gave rise to this speculation."
The Clan Master explained.
"Miss Wang, you came to our Demon Spirit Clan for that power left behind by this great individual as well, correct?"
The Clan Master asked again.
Wang Yuxian did not answer directly. Instead, she looked toward Yao Cheng.
"You may speak honestly," Yao Cheng said to her.
Seeing this, Wang Yuxian dropped all pretense and directly told the Clan Master the true purpose of her and Chu Feng's visit.
But after hearing Wang Yuxian's account, the expressions of every Demon Spirit Clan member present darkened considerably.
The Clan Master was no exception.
The atmosphere instantly turned peculiar.
This made both Wang Yuxian and Chu Feng tense up as well.
After all, the Demon Spirit Clan was somewhat special. Chu Feng and Wang Yuxian had already witnessed just how xenophobic they were.
The fact that they had attacked without even asking questions the moment they saw Chu Feng was proof enough of how deeply they resented outsiders.
Asking them to lend the puppet army to save the beings of the Nine Soul Galaxy — they were more than likely to refuse.
"Miss Wang, are you trying to save the Nine Soul Sacred Clan?"
"Or are you trying to save the Nine Soul Galaxy?"
After a moment of silence, the Clan Master asked.
"I wish to save all living beings of the Nine Soul Galaxy."
"Senior, although your Demon Spirit Clan has been in seclusion for tens of thousands of years, you are still natives of the Nine Soul Galaxy."
"Surely you would not wish to see the Nine Soul Galaxy fall into the hands of outsiders, nor would you want its people to be slaughtered by foreign invaders?"
Wang Yuxian spoke in a gentle tone, hoping to persuade the Demon Spirit Clan.
"Even if our Demon Spirit Clan does not go and exterminate the Nine Soul Sacred Clan, we will not help them either. Doing so would betray the ancestors who perished because of them."
"As for the living beings of the Nine Soul Galaxy — they have long forgotten our Demon Spirit Clan. Their lives and deaths have nothing to do with us."
The moment these words left the Clan Master's mouth, Chu Feng, Wang Yuxian, and the others all felt their hearts tighten.
They had already braced themselves for this, but actually facing this kind of response still left them feeling helpless.
After all, if the Clan Master refused, they wouldn't even get the chance to challenge the formation, let alone gain control of the puppet army.
