Iron Hammer felt that its response had been cautious enough. It would be difficult for the other side to pursue it along the way.
Unfortunately, it still lacked a sufficient understanding of just how terrifying great Human Race cultivators could be.
After learning that King of Rags had a Life Tablet, Qian Zhong had casually slapped it to death because she had that confidence.
Ultimately, some of Iron Hammer's arrangements had gone wrong.
For example, it had arranged for two of its sons to infiltrate the Rebel Army, one openly and one secretly.
It was not that it suspected King of Rags of planning anything. It was simply that... with an army, it needed to keep track of its movements in a timely manner.
King of Rags did not care about this. Whether Iron Hammer distrusted it or wanted to temper its descendants, it could not have cared less.
Because the openly placed "Crown Prince Military Supervisor"... was considerably weaker!
Iron Hammer had not thought there was anything wrong with such an arrangement. Unfortunately, its sons had died.
Both sons—the one in the open and the one in the shadows—had died in the slaughter carried out by the great cultivators.
The hidden son was one thing, but the public one had been guarding King of Rags at its side.
King of Rags knew that he was Iron Hammer's son, so naturally, Qian Zhong knew as well.
Thus, after extracting all the memories from the Asura King's mind, she felt she could send it on its way.
As for Iron Hammer discovering that the Life Tablet had shattered and possibly fleeing its hiding place, that truly did not matter.
After all, Iron Hammer possessed more than one Life Tablet. Several Asuras had already been killed, so one more made no difference.
