"Is this king a cultivator?" Marshal Canopy asked from the side.
Uchiha Shin said, "He isn't a cultivator. He's a demon."
Marshal Canopy and Goku were both shocked. Neither of them had known the king's true identity. This was the first time they had heard that the king was a demon.
"How could a demon possibly become a king? If the Heavenly Court finds out, they'll definitely wipe him out," Marshal Canopy said.
"The Three Realms are so chaotic right now that it isn't easy for the Heavenly Court to carry out its duties properly. Besides, this demon's identity isn't simple either. He should have powerful backing," Uchiha Shin added.
Neither of them asked any more questions. Since they had encountered a demon, there was only one thing to do: eliminate him.
"Although the three of us entered this palace together, we still need to be careful. This demon is no ordinary being—he's extremely powerful. You can tell just from the barrier he set up. He's also cunning, so be cautious when we make our move," Uchiha Shin reminded them.
The two nodded and followed Uchiha Shin deeper inside.
After entering the palace, they did not immediately search for the king, nor did they rush to kill him.
They first needed to inspect the palace and then look for an opportunity to act.
"Have you noticed anything? What do you think of this palace?" Uchiha Shin asked in a low voice.
"This palace looks quite good. It really does seem like the residence of an emperor, not much different from the palaces of most rulers in the mortal world."
Uchiha Shin smiled. "Don't treat it like an ordinary palace. Observe carefully and see whether there's anything hidden here."
After hearing Uchiha Shin's words, the two inspected the area more closely.
