"You're saying I'm the King of the Underworld's... successor?"
Gu Shen's laughter echoed across the Red Lake.
He turned slightly and saw the silent, frightened looks of the many onlookers. Among them were even Judicators.
The King of the Underworld had last appeared seven or eight years ago.
The battle at Clear Tomb Cemetery.
After that, no more news of the King of the Underworld had surfaced.
But everyone knew that the City of Light would not abandon its pursuit just because the King of the Underworld had vanished... Over the years, Judicators scattered across the five continents had been searching for the legendary King of the Underworld and the Apostles of the King of the Underworld.
Before Jia Wei could speak.
Gu Shen asked, "If I were the King of the Underworld's successor, why would you only expose me now? The one who hates the King of the Underworld most... isn't that the God of Light's Throne?"
Those words were like thunder.
The Saint Adjudicator in heavy armor fell silent.
Yes.
He could not refute it.
All along, he had believed Gu Shen was the King of the Underworld's successor. There was no reason, nor did he need one... Just as he had told Yao Jin yesterday, becoming a follower of Light and obeying Light Guidance was the greatest honor of every Believer.
But was he supposed to explain to everyone now that he had no evidence, that he had merely followed the guidance in his heart to find an enemy?
Thus, Jia Wei could only remain silent.
"This is the City of Light. This is the Divine Domain."
Gu Shen said expressionlessly, "You say I'm the King of the Underworld's successor... Where is your evidence?"
Jia Wei silently raised his head.
He did not argue with Gu Shen.
