The young man looked at Kai Syaoran with wide eyes. He remembered seeing this demonic beast standing by the side as he fought against the Slaughter Empress, but that was all he knew about it.
The fact that this beast had saved him made the young man very suspicious. Demonic beasts and humans were mortal foes who had been at war with each other since the dawn of time.
The humans had gained the upper hand in the Human Realm, and the beasts had to live out their lives in corners of the world.
This young man was the Free Potentate. He had been forced to sign an unbreakable agreement on the River Parchment, and due to his dissatisfaction with the Yulong clan, he had challenged the Slaughter Empress to a fight. Unfortunately for him, the Slaughter Empress turned out to be more than he could handle. At a crucial moment, he had been left with no choice but to break through to the Seventh Step. This was the only way he could think of to survive the wrath of the empress.
