Kenae Castle, the Ultimate Battle

She met him in Luoba Prefecture, and he trusted her completely.

The first time they met, she gave him and the Bloodmark Heavenly King each a flower. After eating it, their injuries healed instantly. Such flowers, miraculous to the extreme, were beyond precious for people like them, who walked the battlefield of blood and fire at all times.

This was not out of regard for their status as Qianlong Heavenly Kings.

It was purely for Lin Xiaosu's sake.

With just one flower, this woman had shown how highly she regarded Lin Xiaosu.

They had acted together in Luoba Prefecture, hunted the six Heavenly Kings, seized two Wing Blades, and painted their journey as a pair across this world in bold, vivid strokes.

What exactly was their relationship?

Lin Xiaose, did you really make a move on a woman over ten thousand years old?

Thousand-Spirit Saintess, you old woman of over ten thousand years, did you really rob the cradle?

At the same time, on Kenae Island, within Kenae Castle, John Chaispur gazed at the rolling waves in the distance. Green light flickered in his eyes, as though the sea itself were churning within them.

The covert line in Daxia had sent word back: Blue Demon, Bloodmark, and Lin Xiaosu had not returned to Daxia.

That meant they were still in Luoba Prefecture.

Why had he clearly obtained the most vital intelligence, clearly held a bargaining chip powerful enough to overturn everything, yet refused to hurry back to Daxia?

Could it be that he truly intended to seek him out, this Sovereign Lord?

If so, that really was an unexpected delight.

It had given him a chance to survive from a dead end.

A proper spy could not do such a thing. A proper Qianlong could not do such a thing.
