Seeing Lin Xiao Tian still not making a choice, the man clicked his tongue softly, his expression turning faintly impatient as his gaze settled on him.
"Do not think you have a choice," he said lightly, and in the next instant a blue light descended and wrapped around Lin Xiao Tian's body, locking his position without resistance.
Before he could react further, the selection shifted and he was placed directly on Xiaoshan's side, as if the outcome had already been decided long before.
The demon chuckled at the sight, its tone carrying twisted amusement as it looked down at him.
"If you die, you die with your disciple… if you live, you become sustenance for him, so you should be grateful," it said, as if offering a reward.
Yan Feng and the others turned toward Lin Xiao Tian with confusion and tension rising instantly, while Tianhe's aura began to shift as signs of transformation appeared.
