Actually, from the very first time he saw True Monarch Red Flame, the undisguised greed in the other's eyes had already put him on alert.
Later, when Red Flame sent an invitation, he directly declined, avoiding any meeting.
After realizing the other's intention to seize possession, he had considered leaving altogether to avoid the confrontation.
After all, of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best.
But the thought still lingered, and he couldn't settle his mind.
Now, after a fierce battle, although he couldn't capture the opponent's Nascent Soul, he did seize its Lifebound Spiritual Treasure and Dao Body, which could be considered a great gain.
"It's a pity that the Nascent Soul still escaped."
Shen Xuan felt a slight regret.
It was not without a plan.
However, he insisted on chasing the Nascent Soul of Red Flame, which would inevitably lead to a fight to the death with True Monarch Red Lotus.
