The King's Hall Who Hid His Depths
"Cough cough cough~"
In a dimly lit hall, a seemingly decaying figure coughed incessantly as he forced himself to sit up from his bed.
Looking at the figure kneeling before him, Gu Jing said calmly, "Are they starting to make their move?"
"Yes, Your King's Hall!" A slightly soft and charming voice came from the kneeling figure. If anyone else were present, they would be astonished to discover that this was none other than the enigmatic Succubus General, Alora.
If Xiao Han and his companion were to see "Alora's" figure, they would surely be stunned.
The fact that "Alora," who had been reduced to ashes by Xiao Han and his companion, was still alive and even appeared in front of this legendary, supposedly dying King's Hall was truly terrifying!
"Hehe, how are those two guys from outside the world doing?" King's Hall seemed to have expected this, smiled faintly, and then began to inquire about Xiao Han and the other two.
"One of the weaker ones has already impersonated me and started stirring up conflict between the Demon Commander," Alora replied respectfully. "As for the other one..."
Suddenly, Alora prostrated herself on the ground, trembling slightly, and said, "Please forgive me, King's Hall Highness, I have not found any trace of him."
Alora couldn't help but be afraid. He used to pride himself on his cunning and even looked down on Ge Xiusi was known for his wisdom.
As for the soon-to-ascend King's Hall, he was utterly disdainful, considering him nothing more than an old fellow born even earlier.
It wasn't until the rumored, terminally ill, and weakened King's Hall prince appeared before him unexpectedly, revealing everything he had planned, including all his spies within the palace, that Alora truly understood how terrifying the other party was!
This emotion reached its peak when the King's Hall informed him that someone from outside the Sealed World had sneaked in, attempting to kill him, and that his words would soon come true.
As expected of Lord King's Hall, who climbed his way up through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, not only is his strength invincible, but his cunning is also unparalleled.
"Finally, I can escape this hellhole!" Alora clenched her fists, thinking excitedly.
The secrets of the Sealed World and the existence of the Fierce Qi Continent were completely public knowledge to Demon Commander like him. Their ancestors' defeat had imprisoned them in this harsh world, where they suffered endless torment and pain.
Everyone wanted to change this situation at all times, and now His Majesty the King's Hall had given him the opportunity to participate in planning such a grand scheme, which was an unparalleled honor for Alora!
"Let those overconfident fools become sacrifices to break the seal!" Alora said with fanaticism.
Thinking of the foolish actions of the Demon Commander like Ge Xiusi and Mengka, Alora's face showed a sneer. How dare they set their sights on the King's Hall! They are ignorant fools!
"Hmm..." The King's Hall didn't care about Alora's inner thoughts. Although Xiao Han's disappearance caused some concern in the King's Hall's heart, it was quickly put aside.
He had been preparing for this plan for over a thousand years, including constantly feigning weakness, creating the illusion that his time was up, and even letting his subordinates do whatever they wanted, allowing them to cause trouble.
In fact, although he was very old, he was not yet incapable of taking action.
However, in order to ensure his perfect condition, he had to ask those guys to make some sacrifices. Thinking this, a ruthless glint flashed in the King's Hall's eyes.
"Then let's continue!" the King's Hall said calmly. "Let me experience the abilities of these younger generation!" Although his tone was not very dramatic, Alora could still hear the anger hidden in his voice.
To be betrayed by such a brainless bunch as a king is a tremendous disgrace!
"Yes! I obey Your Majesty's command!" Without another word, Alora obediently replied, then bowed and retreated. This time, all those with ill intentions... shall die!
Over the next year, with the help of both King's Hall and Xiao Han, the Mengka Group and the Ge Xiusi Gang gradually became bitter enemies.
However, due to concerns about the existence of that so-called King's Hall, no major conflict has broken out; instead, they have only sent their subordinates to harass the other side's city.
"Bang!"
The hot-tempered Klie smashed the table in front of him with a punch, stood up abruptly, his eyes wide, and roared at the burly man sitting quietly at the head of the table:
"Ge Xiusi, when exactly are we going to make our move against that guy? My Lust Demon Hunting City has been attacked again by that Succubus's men."
As the conflict between the two sides intensifies, cities are constantly being attacked, and this is true for both sides, with each side experiencing victories and defeats.
However, overall, Mengka's side still held the advantage. After all, Ge Xiusi and his two companions were no match for Mengka; even combined, they could barely hold their own.
Almost no one dared to leave the city alone, fearing being intercepted and killed by Mengka. Furthermore, the enemy outnumbered them, making the outcome of the battle utterly unpredictable!
Finally, after enduring about a year of humiliation, some people couldn't take it anymore.
Fortunately, Klie still had some sense and knew that now was not the time to confront the brute Mengka head-on, so he focused his attention on the King's Hall.
Ge Xiusi was equally troubled. If it were just that brute Mengka and the three Demon Commander, he would be fine; he was confident he could force a 50/50 split.
However, an unexpected Alora appeared, and almost all of his strategies were countered by her, leaving him with no solution in the short term.
Klie is right. If we want to turn the tide, we must set our sights on that old King's Hall.
So Ge Xiusi closed his eyes slightly, leaned back in his chair, and remained motionless. The others knew that Ge Xiusi was deep in thought, so they did not disturb him.
The hall fell into a deathly silence.
In stark contrast to Ge Xiusi's silence, Mengka and his gang were having a jubilant victory celebration. Under their relentless attacks, Ge Xiusi's chaotic band of thieves was suffering a series of defeats.
Therefore, the atmosphere here is very relaxed. "Come on, everyone, drink this cup to the brim!"
Mengka excitedly raised his glass and shouted to the other four Demon Commander.
"Yes!" The others also wisely drank and made merry.
"Come on, Alora," Mengka laughed as he pulled Alora, the hero of this period, and personally filled his glass.
The other party thanked her repeatedly, and Alora said somewhat nervously, "Mengka your kindness, Lord Monka!"
"Hey~" Mengka waved his hand and said, "It's alright, you've done a great job." It's true that Alora has come up with many ingenious plans in the past year, maximizing her side's advantages and keeping Ge Xiusi and the others busy.
Even a brute like him, who believed in the supremacy of fists, could not ignore the other party's role, which greatly elevated his status in his heart.
"That's right, Alora, don't refuse." At this moment, the other Demon Commander also stepped forward to persuade her.
On the one hand, they wanted to stand on the same side as their leader, and on the other hand, Alora's performance during this period had truly shocked them, making these Demon Commander, who originally looked down on Alora and regarded her as a mere appendage, take notice of her.
Drinking and joking are fine, but important business still needs to be done.
"Alora, what do you think those guys from Ge Xiusi will do next?" After a hearty meal, Mengka once again pulled Alora aside to ask for her advice.
