The shadow looked around and found that Pride had disappeared. On the empty mountain, there was only him and the unconscious Yang Dongqing wearing the [Seventh Hell King].
He looked at Yang Dongqing with a twinkling eye. Since Your Excellency Arrogant chose to save Yang Dongqing, it means that Yang Dongqing is still worth saving. Now he has left Yang Dongqing to me...
"In that case, I will take you back to the Revolutionary Army. However, you have been wearing the Seven Hells for too long and have suffered severe injuries. I am afraid that your body and will have already collapsed. I can try to inject activated mithril to repair your body, but your will...you can only rely on yourself."
As he thought about it, invisible telekinesis spread out from the shadow's body, lifting up Yang Dongqing's seriously injured body. The two flew into the sky and disappeared.
In the imperial capital, inside the Chiyan Palace.
"Ahhh! I'm so mad!" On the dark gold throne, the Red King rolled around on the ground like a primary school student who lost the game, holding a rabbit doll in his hand and tearing it apart.
Because the movement was so big, the hair that was originally tied up fell down, covering the beautiful face, making her look like a crazy woman.
Under the throne, the ordinary-looking old man and Gongsun Quan both looked calm, as if they were used to it.
"How arrogant! How arrogant! He actually looked down on me and said I was just bragging!? Ah! I'm going to kill him!"
"He has been acting mysterious and wearing a mask all day long. He must be extremely ugly and dare not show himself to others. This damn ugly bastard!" The angry Red King has already escalated the incident to personal attack.
In a dimension invisible to everyone, Su Mu was standing quietly beside the Red King, watching him throwing a tantrum, his beautiful red lips almost pouting to the sky.
He really didn't expect that the Red King actually had such a unknown side. The previous unrivaled elegance and dominance of the world formed a sharp contrast with the current tantrum and swearing like an elementary school student.
No wonder it is often said that women have two faces.
"Gongsun Quan, what do you think?" the old man asked.
Gongsun Quan shook his head. "There is too little information about Pride, so it is difficult to make a correct judgment. However, although he broke the Dark Nightmare Talisman, he did not fight with the Red King. I guess his true strength is not as strong as imagined."
"Perhaps he feels that fighting the Scarlet King in the Imperial Capital is too disadvantageous. After all, the Imperial Capital is our base camp, and we can mobilize a large number of strong men at any time."
Gongsun Quan pondered and said, "No, Aowang is extremely arrogant. Although this may be his disguise, his eyes can't lie. I noticed that when he looked at the Red King, there was no fear or fear in his eyes. It was definitely not bluffing. It was just... just..."
He thought for a long time before coming up with the adjective: "Delighted at the sight of prey! It was like meeting someone interesting. His joy was mixed with a hint of anticipation, anticipating what surprises the Scarlet King could bring him.
A person with such eyes would never be able to hold back from attacking, so the reason why Prideful didn't attack was very simple. Either his strength was not enough to defeat the Scarlet King, or he didn't want to reveal his identity, or his body was held back by something and couldn't attack for the time being."
The Red King seemed to have heard some sensitive words at this time. He came over quickly and said through gritted teeth, "You are right. He is afraid of me, so he dare not show up. He is a coward! Arrogance is a coward!! "
A look of helplessness flashed across Gongsun Quan and the old man's faces. Neither of them paid any attention to King Chi and continued to discuss.
"There is one thing I cannot understand. Why is Arrogant not afraid? Even the Undead King has not dared to move recently after seeing the might of the Supreme Heaven. What is the basis for his arrogance? Isn't he afraid that the royal family will use the Supreme Heaven again?
Even if using the Supreme Heaven to wipe him out would be extremely costly, the royal family could simply change their wish and change the elimination to weakening.
Could it be…?”
A hint of hidden fear appeared on the old man's face.
Gongsun Quan's expression darkened as well, and he added the second half of his sentence: "He knows that the Supreme Heaven is fake!"
After these words were spoken, the two men fell into an eerie silence, and only the Red King was still rolling around in the hall.
"This is impossible!" The old man was the first to deny his own guess.
“The Supreme Heaven was taken to the Nightmare World by the previous king and disappeared along with him. Only a few of us know about this and it is absolutely impossible to leak it. In addition, in order to ensure the stability of the Red Flame Empire, the previous king used the power of the Supreme Heaven to create a fake Supreme Heaven.
Although the fake Supreme Heaven is not as good as the real one, it requires twice the price to fulfill a wish and can only be used three times, but other than that it is no different from the real one.
Even the Undead King did not doubt that the Supreme Heaven was a fake, how could Pride know that?"
Su Mu on the side nodded seriously and complained, "You told me that."
Gongsun Quan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking of something: "We have all sworn an oath before the Supreme Heaven, and we cannot betray the royal family. If the news is really leaked, it will never come from you or me, it can only be..."
As if they had telepathic connection, the two turned to look at the Red King crawling darkly on the throne.
Feeling the gazes of the two, the Red King glared back fiercely: "Why are you looking at me?"
The old man's eyes flickered, and his face looked slightly ugly: "Your Majesty, have you sneaked out of the palace recently?"
The Red King's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a guilty conscience, "No...no, why would I leave the palace?"
Seeing the guilty look on the Red King's face, the veins on the old man's forehead were faintly visible. He gritted his teeth and said, "Where have you been since you left the palace? Who have you come into contact with?"
