In addition to the news about Pride, there were also reports about the Faceless Angel and the Seven Kings. Of course, it was mainly praises, saying that the Seven Kings joined forces to defeat the strongest nightmare released by Pride and prevented the destruction of the world.
Countries began to build nightmare defense lines around their coastlines and station troops there.
The first batch of nightmare creatures have landed in the Blood Moon Empire. The Undead King called on all countries to donate supplies and so on...
After reporting on the positive responses of various countries, the news began to severely condemn the seven deadly sins and arrogance, characterizing the seven deadly sins as terrorist organizations attempting to subvert the world, and arrogance as the culprit of world destruction. More than a dozen sensational evidences were listed in a row.
Su Mu nodded with satisfaction. The response of the seven empires was relatively quick, mainly because the crisis was big enough. Once it spread, not only civilians would die, but nobles would also die. Those high and mighty nobles did not care about the war, because no matter how the war went, the nobles could pay to redeem themselves, but they cared about the nightmare invasion.
Because nightmare creatures must die no matter whether you are a noble or a commoner!
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps in the hall of the Law Enforcement Bureau, and a team of fully armed law enforcers came trotting over.
The leading law enforcement captain took off the mask on his face, revealing a familiar face.
Mu Lingxi!
The captain of the law enforcement team who was sent to Xingcheng by the General Administration of Law Enforcement to assist Sikong Zhen in investigating the case of the seven deadly sins was actually an undercover agent of the revolutionary army.
Today, Mu Lingxi is still wearing a black leather combat uniform, short black hair and wheat-colored skin. She looks exactly the same as she did in Star City. The only difference is her expression. Perhaps affected by the invasion of nightmares, Mu Lingxi's expression is very solemn and her brows are always furrowed.
"Sumu, Suqing, His Majesty the Red King has summoned you."
Su Mu nodded, not surprised.
"What about us?" Lin Nanxing asked hurriedly.
Mu Lingxi said coldly: "His Majesty has not summoned you, you can go back and rest for now."
After saying that, she left with Su Mu and Su Qing. Now the whole country has entered a wartime state, and everything seems to be done in a swift and decisive manner.
Red Flame Palace.
Led by the palace guards, Su Mu and Su Qing walked step by step into the deep palace.
On the way, Su Qing asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Why did King Chi suddenly summon us?"
"You'll know it when you see it."
Su Qing curled her lips at Su Mu's calm profile, but then she thought of the next scene and felt proud again. You can only be calm now. When you know my true identity, I will definitely scare you. Hehe...
Soon, the two of them walked into a magnificent hall. The hall was extremely vast, and in the depths a high platform rose from the ground, like a towering hill.
The platform is made of cast bronze, with layers of steps, on which are carved mountains, rivers, birds, beasts, and auspicious dragons and phoenixes.
On the top of the platform sat an extremely gorgeous empress. She was wearing a dark golden phoenix robe. The phoenix embroidered on the robe was lifelike, with its wings spread as if ready to fly, demonstrating the empress's supreme majesty.
Her face was beautiful and stern, her fair skin was as delicate and smooth as mutton-fat jade, revealing an innate noble aura, her eyebrows were like distant ink, slightly raised, and had a bit of heroic spirit.
Her eyes were long and narrow, and contained an elusive majesty and dominance, as if a single look from her could determine the rise and fall of the world.
She is one of the seven kings today, the Red King!
Su Mu glanced at Chi Wang. This was the first official meeting between the two. Apart from anything else, just looking at Chi Wang's appearance, anyone who saw him would think he was a peerless empress, provided that they did not know Chi Wang's private life.
"Count Su, I summoned you just after you returned from the nightmare world. I'm sure you must have many questions in your mind." The cold voice of the Red King echoed in the empty hall.
Su Mu nodded: "I wonder if His Majesty the Red King's summons this time is related to the matter of arrogance?"
"That's right. We'll talk about this later. Su Qing, come up." Chi Wang waved to Su Qing.
Su Qing walked towards the platform with brisk steps. Halfway through, she looked back at Su Mu and left a mysterious smile.
When she stood on the platform and stood beside the Red King, suddenly, golden flames emerged from Su Qing's body. Under the burning of the golden flames, her body melted like a candle, and finally completely merged into the golden flames.
The golden flame flew to the Red King. For a moment, the Red King was bathed in the golden flame, and his phoenix eyes were flashing with brilliant golden light. The phoenix on the dark golden phoenix robe seemed to come alive, and the sound of a phoenix's cry could be heard faintly in the air.
All these strange phenomena lasted for a few seconds and finally disappeared completely.
Seeing such a miraculous scene, Su Mu's face was filled with calmness.
King Chi was stunned. No reaction at all?
"Su Mu, actually...Su Qing is an incarnation of this king."
"Yes, I know."
"What? You know? How did you know?" Chi Wang was surprised and blinked his big eyes.
Su Mu's eyes showed a hint of doubt: "Didn't you tell me? That day in front of the Law Enforcement Bureau, you said you were the Red King."
"I..." Chi Wang felt like he was choked. It seemed that this was the case. He did say that that day. No... Do you believe what I say?
"Su Mu, you are really an interesting person. You took me just joking at that time seriously." Maybe there was no one around, Chi Wang's true colors were revealed. He no longer maintained his kingly airs, and his speaking style changed to that of Su Qing.
Su Mu shook his head: "Well, I took it seriously."
Chi Wang rolled his eyes in annoyance, feeling a little depressed. When he was interacting with him as Su Qing, he was always confronted. Now that the showdown has come, and he is still like this even with his identity as Chi Wang, then hasn't the showdown been in vain?
I wanted to see Su Mu’s shocked expression, but I didn’t see it.
"Forget it, forget it. I won't talk to you about this anymore. I called you here this time because I have something important to tell you." King Chi said seriously.
"Now the times have changed. Nightmares have invaded in full force. The oceans are occupied by nightmare creatures and are spreading inland. Now all countries have sent a large number of extraordinary people to coastal cities to deal with nightmare creatures. The Red Flame Empire is no exception. So I have decided to suspend the search for the relics of the previous king and plan to send you nightmare apostles who are good at dealing with nightmare creatures to coastal cities."
Stop looking for the relics of the previous king?
Although King Chi said this, Su Mu naturally knew the real reason. The Supreme Heaven had fallen into the hands of Pride, and King Chi was now helpless. He even took Su Qing back to prevent Pride from seizing the royal bloodline.
“Sumu, you have outstanding strength and possess a gold-level nightmare creature like Bubai, so I have decided that you will lead the nightmare apostles recruited in the country and lead them to the coastal cities.
Of course, the Empire will never treat any meritorious official unfairly. Although your own realm has not reached the gold level, with the help of Bubai, you can also fight against the gold strongmen, so this king will upgrade your noble title and let you enjoy all the rights and interests of the gold nobles. What do you think?"
