Chapter 1093: What a Beast!

Wind and sand flew, and the theatrical robes fluttered lightly.

The Red King stood silently on the spot, quietly watching the direction Chen Ling left, like a silent statue.

Just as he was about to leave, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side, and under the shocked gazes of Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua, grabbed the Red King's collar with one hand!

It was a man in a law enforcement officer's trench coat, his brows furrowed, his eyes flashing with anger and coldness. He just dragged the Red King by the collar, lifting his heels off the ground...

Compared to his body, the Red King's youthful physique looked fragile and thin.

Seeing this scene, Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua's mouths opened involuntarily...

Grabbing the Red King??

Not buddy, are you that fierce??

That is the leader of the Dusk Society, the Lord of the Ancient Treasury of the Opera Path, the Opera Path demigod who just single-handedly killed the Silver King!!

Being grabbed into mid-air in such an offensive manner, the Red King's youthful face showed no emotion. He looked quietly at the face close at hand and said lightly:

"Officer Han Meng, is there something you need?"

"Is... is this how you act as a Master?" Han Meng's tone was extremely cold, "It was clearly you who wanted to control the Mocking Calamity, it was clearly you who guided the Mocking Calamity to cause this disaster... why should Chen Ling bear all the consequences?"

"...Oh?" The Red King narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Whether it's the adjudication agents who were killed once by the Mocking Calamity, or the ordinary people who almost died because of the Mocking Calamity, after returning this time, they will definitely spread the terror of the Mocking Calamity among the human upper echelons...

They know the Mocking Calamity is powerful, chaotic, and impossible to communicate with. From now on, the human domain will definitely try every means to target it, and in the end, they will naturally point all fingers at Chen Ling... After all, Chen Ling is the Mocking Calamity, this is no longer a secret.

But they don't understand the relationship between Chen Ling and the Mocking Calamity at all, and they won't know that it was Chen Ling who saved them! The Mocking Calamity is guilty, Chen Ling is innocent!

Why should Chen Ling bear the sins committed by the Mocking Calamity?!"

Han Meng's voice was low and angry, like a suppressed volcano...

This law enforcement officer, filled with justice, had witnessed the whole process and seen Chen Ling's helplessness and bitterness. He didn't care about any Opera Path demigod or Dusk Society leader... He only knew that the Red King was clearly Chen Ling's Master, yet he personally guided Chen Ling into the abyss of despair.

Han Meng couldn't just stand by and watch.

"You're wrong." The Red King's voice had no emotional fluctuations, "Even without me, Chen Ling's identity would have been revealed to the world sooner or later... Letting him experience this tribulation now is, for him, a good thing."

The Red King paused for a moment,

"As for the human domain's misunderstanding of Chen Ling...

Since you want to stand up for him, why don't you go to the human domain's upper echelons yourself and explain it clearly for him?"

"I certainly will."

Han Meng answered without hesitation, then his hand gripping the Red King's collar tightened,

"Chen Ling is your disciple, and also my subordinate... You, this Master, will calculate him and abandon him, but I won't... The suffering he has endured today because of your schemes, one day, I will pay it back for him twofold!"

After speaking, he pushed the boy in theatrical robes away and walked into the distance without looking back.

The Red King landed on the ground and calmly patted the dust off the corner of his clothes,

"Then good luck... Officer Han Meng."

Han Meng's hands under his hem clenched silently.

He didn't like the Dusk Society... He didn't in the past, and he likes them even less now.

Seeing him leave, the Red King swept his gaze toward Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua on the side. These two, one quite sensible and one quite lazy, just blinked and did nothing, like two disconnected NPCs.

The Red King pointed to Jian Changsheng lying on the ground, "You two, take good care of him."

"Yes!" Sun Bumian stood at attention immediately.

The Red King raised his hand unhurriedly and grabbed into the void. At the same time, a gold ring on his index finger flashed before Sun Bumian's eyes...

The moment he saw this ring, Sun Bumian suddenly froze on the spot.

As a curtain in the void was lifted silently, the Red King walked in without looking back, his figure crossing hundreds of kilometers and disappearing without a trace.

In the barren ruins, Jiang Xiaohua said dully:

"They're all gone... are you going to carry Spade, or am I?"

“……”

"Square?"

"...It was him... it was actually him?!!!" Sun Bumian's eyes widened, looking like he had seen a ghost, "My precious ring!! My precious gold... it wasn't stolen by the Thief Path, it was him?!!"

Sun Bumian clutched his head with both hands, angry and frustrated, stomping his feet and lowering his voice to vent, seemingly afraid that if he were too loud, his immediate superior would hear...

"What a beast!! What a beast!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

……

Outside the Wuji Domain.

A woman in gray robes and a girl in a black dress carrying a coffin had been waiting for a long time.

The curtain was lifted. After the Red King arrived here, his expression finally relaxed completely,

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly,

"Let's go... it's all resolved."

"...Do you really want to push him to the Fusionist school that much?" Beneath the Gray King's hood, a cold female voice sounded, "You lied to him like this, he will hate you."

"I didn't lie to him; everything I said was the truth... If he cannot master the Calamity of Mockery, everything is meaningless. He is the only way out for this world." The Red King paused for a moment. "Number Six is already with me and has mastered the method of maintaining his 'self.' There is nothing more I can teach him... If he wants to further master the Calamity of Mockery, he can only rely on the Fusion Faction to exert their efforts."

"Those people in the Fusion Faction still have some real skills."

"Aren't you afraid he won't come back? The hope you've painstakingly cultivated ends up turning against you... Aren't you afraid?"

"That is my disciple. Why would I be afraid?"

"He is no longer your disciple."

"Did he say he wanted to leave the sect? Did I say I was expelling him from the sect?" The Red King spoke unhurriedly. "He hasn't even left the Twilight Society... When the time is right, he will return."

The Grey King did not answer, as if silently rolling her eyes beneath her hood.

She patted the head of the girl in the black dress beside her:

"Qingyan, be good. In the future, let's not learn from them... They are clearly men, yet the two of them combined have more schemes than there are stars in the sky."

Liu Qingyan opened her mouth, then hesitated and pointed overhead, "Master, there are no more stars in the sky..."

The faint light of dawn dispelled the night. The Grey King looked up, but could not see any stars, only a faint redness rising from the east.

The Red King slowly stopped in his tracks.

His eyes were fixed on that increasingly vivid "red," his expression graver than ever before. That conversation he had with Lu Xun in the Heavenly Pivot Domain surfaced in his mind once again.

"We don't have much time left..." the Red King muttered to himself.

"[It] is coming back soon."
