Therefore, when Prince Xi's words reached his ears, the Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch considered them for only a brief moment.
The main reason for this moment was that he couldn't fully trust Prince Xi.
Opening up his meridians, accommodating his Inner Strength, and even joining forces to fight against Chu Qing... it sounded easy, but if Prince Xi harbored malicious intent, he might be the first to wish for something worse than death.
But it was also in this brief moment that the Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch let out a muffled groan.
In a situation where he was being besieged on both sides, if he couldn't reach an agreement with one of the parties, opening the door to invite in a thief, even colluding with them, then he would only be caught in between, attacked by both sides.
Which would lead to himself, who originally should have been joining forces with Prince Xi, becoming someone hunted by the combined forces of Chu Qing and Prince Xi.
