Now that the 4th elder knew exactly how much blood essence Daemon had and their types he was very surprised at first when he said Daemon had 30% bloodline purity he was just bluffing in order to trick Daemon to exposing his secrets but he wasn't expecting him to have more than 5% bloodline purity as he himself was the one with the purest bloodline in the sect and his bloodline purity was around 0,2%.
"Now kid you will give me that drop of grey bloodline essence you can keep the other quarter because if you give it to me you will immediately die" 4th was putting a big smile pretending to care about Daemon's life but he knew that once Daemon took out his bloodline essence he would die no matter what as he would kill him.
Daemon knew that now he is reaching his last moments so he decided to keep on wasting time so he asked "and how do i g.." before he could finish his words there was a huge yellow feathered snake flying right above them this was a peak saint emperor beast 4th was feeling dread he never felt before in his life but on the contrary Daemon was feeling relieved "Joker seemed to have accomplished his mission successfully".
The snake without even talking killed the 4th elder and then looked at Daemon "cancel your transformation and jump on my back let me take you to a safe place" Daemon did as he was told when he was on the serpent back Joker jumped in his embrace Daemon just patted the cat head saying you did a great job".
Earlier when the 4th elder was catching up to him he told Joker to go deeper in the forest and find a strong beast at the saint emperor realm and make a deal with it that if it saved him he would give it a drop of bloodline essence so he made that attack on the 4th just to create a distraction for Joker to run as for not knowing what a bloodline essence is that was just a show he put in front of the 4th elder.
