"Monarch of Sin wasn't targeting you. Well, given the current situation with Zhuang Kingdom, City of No Redemption had to make some token gesture." When daylight had fully broken, Zhu Weiwu sat down across from Jiang Wang and explained, "They put out a warrant for me too."
Jiang Wang pretended not to see the red marks on his neck at all and said magnanimously, "Of course. I completely understand."
Zhu Weiwu turned to look out the window. "Ha, how's Xiao Shu doing?"
"No new changes," Jiang Wang said.
"He really knows how to hold steady," Zhu Weiwu remarked.
Jiang Wang had wanted to say, Senior Brother, you know how to hold steady too. But after thinking about it, he ultimately did not.
Forty days could be considered long, yet compared to a human lifetime, they were truly far too short.
With each passing day, Xiao Shu drew one step closer to the ending called death.
The pressure of it was beyond ordinary imagination.
And Zhang Xun, the foremost among Dan Kingdom's younger generation and a Divine Presence Realm cultivator, was personally blocking the gates of City of No Redemption. He would not rest until Xiao Shu was dead... Such resolve, such killing intent, was like an executioner's blade already hanging over his neck.
It was like bearing a mountain on his back, with Giant Stones piled atop that mountain.
Enough to crush any will that was not tough enough.
And beyond that, there was the infamy of betraying his kingdom, the sin of stealing the dan...
The whole world condemned him. The whole world hated him. Everyone wanted to see him dead.
It could be said that, in City of No Redemption at this moment, ninety-nine percent of people in Xiao Shu's position would not be able to stand firm.
