Chu Qing was kind-hearted. In the end, he did not punish that King, merely saying lightly, "Be more careful next time!"
After saying that, something dawned on him.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have become a tyrant.
No, even more tyrannical than a tyrant.
At the very least, a tyrant would not grow angry and want to kill someone just because they had asked a slight question.
Especially not on a battlefield, when the other party was his ally.
"My temper has gotten a little too explosive!"
"Why do I want to kill people at the drop of a hat?"
He muttered to himself.
Princess hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Great Lord Azure Sky, your temper used to be even more explosive!"
"You would wipe out entire families at the slightest provocation!"
"Now... you merely scold them a little and threaten them, that is all."
"After all... everyone is an ally."
A King nearby gave an awkward laugh. "That's right, Mr. Chu. We are all allies. There is no need to fuss over so much."
Chu Qing nodded. "I understand!"
"Come on, what are you all standing around for? Keep clearing it out!"
Everyone got busy again.
Heaven's residence was dismantled bit by bit—either burned into ashes or eaten by the Old Heavens.
As Heaven's residence grew smaller and smaller, Chu Qing discovered something.
In that vast residence, the areas shrouded in decay and despair formed a strange patterned design.
It resembled the pattern formed by gold-grade sinews and bones.
As more and more buildings were cleared away, more and more hidden areas of decay emerged.
In the end—
Everyone rose into the air and discovered that a massive mantis pattern had formed on the ground.
Chu Qing sucked in a sharp breath.
The Mantis Martial Ancestor!
