Upon hearing this, Cang Kai let out a long breath, a look of joy finally appearing in his eyes, although he found it rather amusing.
Indeed, in the eyes of this lord, his civilization held no value whatsoever, and he had worried that the other would enslave him, truly a frog at the bottom of a well gauging the sky.
However...
For some reason, Cang Kai had a vague intuition that this lord's help was not entirely out of self-interest, as he claimed, but seemed to carry an emotion akin to helping a fellow being.
Suddenly, he recalled Xi Ya once saying that their Blood Crystal Civilization was also enslaved by Outer Realm Demons until rescued by a strong Human Race individual, could it be...
With this thought, Cang Kai took a deep breath and once again saluted, saying: "I am willing to go through fire and water to fulfill the lord's orders without complaint!"
His voice echoed like a great bell, this time no longer probing an Upper-level Being, but completely from the heart.
