Mutual Devotion, Saving Each Other

Bai Ye frowned slightly. A poison-type Transcendent?

So Lu Yunxiao was a Transcendent.

No wonder An Xiaotong had been poisoned. With her caution, there was no way she would have been poisoned through something as simple as eating.

Bai Ye flashed aside and effortlessly evaded the incoming poison.

He moved so quickly that even Lu Yunxiao had not noticed he had moved at all.

Pfft!

The spear viciously pierced through Lu Yunxiao's thigh, and blood poured out.

Lu Yunxiao let out a muffled groan and dropped to his knees. The pain restored a sliver of clarity to him, and he looked at Bai Ye with a bitter smile.

"Hahaha... You're the Black King! You're actually the Black King..."

He laughed so hysterically it sounded like his heart was tearing apart. "Why?! Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

"Do you deserve to know?" Bai Ye looked down at him.

Lu Yunxiao's laughter abruptly stopped.

Yeah, what the hell was I? Just Apocalypse's acting chairman, and I had only gotten that position by riding on the Black King's coattails...

Intense regret flooded his heart. If he had known earlier that Bai Ye was the Black King, he would have had to be completely insane to dare set today's trap.

He had valued Bai Ye's potential and wanted to control him. He had even wanted to use Lu Yao to tie Bai Ye to his own chariot.

But if he had known Bai Ye was the Black King, even if he had a hundred times more courage, he would never have dreamed of Controlling the Black King.

Instead, he would have found another way to flatter and ingratiate himself with the Black King.

Lu Yunxiao clutched his hair tightly, his expression crazed as regret gnawed at him until he wished he were dead.
