Never mind how outraged the Qinglan Sect elders were.
After Bei Ming True Monarch and the others appeared, Ning Wangshu showed not the slightest surprise. Instead, a faint smile played on his face.
Clearly, he had known all along that these people had been hiding nearby.
"Heh, finally decided to show yourselves?"
"Looks like you've all thrown in with the Heavenly Demon Clan, joining these cowards who are brave against their own but meek before outsiders, hoping to kill me and beg the Heavenly Demon Clan for forgiveness?"
Ning Wangshu sneered in mockery.
Bei Ming True Monarch stepped forward. "Your Excellency, you killed Qingjiao King's grandson. Once word gets back to the Heavenly Demon Clan and Qingjiao King learns of it, he'll surely be enraged."
"Qingjiao King is one of the strongest demon kings under Demon Emperor Lei Li, and also his most capable general. If Qingjiao King flies into a rage, the Heavenly Demon Clan certainly won't let this go."
"To keep the matter from escalating and innocent people from being dragged into it, we have no choice but to borrow your head and appease Qingjiao King's anger!"
Shuangjue True Monarch slowly spoke as well. "Exactly! You've been arrogant and reckless, acting as you please. We have no choice but to do this. If you want someone to blame, blame yourself for being so overbearing!"
Guhe True Monarch wore an even more triumphant look. Smiling at Ning Wangshu, he said, "A moment ago, you asked me what I could do. Now I'll return your words to you, exactly as they were."
"What now? You may be powerful, but you're facing five True Monarchs at once. No matter how great your abilities, you won't escape your fate today!"
As he spoke, a murderous glint appeared on Guhe True Monarch's face.
