Shen Ji Zi had already felt a faint inkling that Zhaang Ye possessed something he needed. Now that he was closer, his Spiritual Power could faintly detect the auras of the Dragon Blood Fruit and Top-grade Essence Qi Stones. He knew it was highly likely that Zhaang Ye was carrying both.
While Top-grade Essence Qi Stones were extremely precious, they meant little to Shen Ji Zi. The Dragon Blood Fruit, however, was a different story. It was a Seventh-Grade Spirit Fruit formed from the blood of an Ancient Giant Dragon, capable of increasing one's chances of breaking through to the True Dao. Shen Ji Zi was currently trying everything in his power to raise his cultivation, and this Dragon Blood Fruit was exactly what he needed. He had to seize it, no matter what.
Of course, ordering Zhaang Ye to strip piece by piece was also a deliberate attempt to humiliate him. Zhaang Ye ignoring his call earlier had annoyed him, so now he wanted to return the favor.
