Yang Xuan had a considerable understanding of the demon race's choice; it wasn't betrayal, but an act of survival.
Once a realm's Spiritual Energy was scattered, the witch race lost the ability to break through their limits. But even so, with their naturally terrifying strength, they easily slaughtered beasts and remained the supreme ruler over all spirits.
The demon race evolved into beasts, declining from rulers to the witches' food.
Such an outcome was worse than defecting to the enemy!
Yang Xuan asked, "After the human race ruled this realm, why is it so difficult to even break through to human immortality, let alone become a Golden Immortal?"
"Hmph!"
The statue seemed to feel that Yang Xuan bore no animosity toward the human or demon races and spoke coldly, "Do you think the invasion of the Mend Heaven Sect was for the expansion of their dominion?"
"They are thieves, robbers, stealing the world's origin continuously through cultivation and ascension!"
