"Heavenly Emperor, I...?"
The True Monarch Crocodile Demon's eyes had reddened, never had he imagined that despite his expressed intent to leave, Ye Xuan would still bestow a Peach upon him.
"Go then, if you join the Ancient Demon Court in the future, you will be my Heavenly Court's enemy. Then I, as Emperor, will not reminisce over the past loyalty between ruler and subject."
"This subject would never dare to be an enemy to the Heavenly Emperor. From now on, I will retreat to the mountains in the Lower Realm and no longer take part in the conflict between the two Heavenly Courts." The True Monarch Crocodile Demon's eyes brimmed with tears as he turned and left the Lingxiao Palace.
"This old servant has failed Your Majesty. But since ancient times, as one of the Demon Race, I really cannot become an enemy of the Ancient Demon Court, and after descending to the Lower Realm, I too will retreat into the solitude of the mountains."
