Ten years ago.
Border City had suffered Annihilation.
Ghost Entities had been behind it—but the Demon Race had been involved too!
The Demon Race had seized control of the city's defensive Grand Array!
That meant the Demon Race had joined forces with the Ghost Entities.
The Formation Arts countered Ghost Entities. Only because the Demon Race controlled the Magic Array could the Ghost Entities launch a full-scale assault!
Suddenly.
Someone appeared in the hall.
He was a Middle-Aged Man with a calm expression and eyes as deep as the sea.
He appeared directly before the Bearded Man and threw a light punch, blasting away half his body.
The corpse collapsed to the floor and turned into an Old Ape.
"So it was the Demon Race after all."
"Xu Yuan, you said before we acted that too many people shouldn't watch. Did you expect this?"
The Middle-Aged Man asked.
"Your Majesty, while the Grand Array is active, Ghost Entities can't get in."
"I was worried there might be a traitor among us humans. I couldn't alert the snake by beating the grass, and I couldn't let others know," Xu Yuan said.
His reasoning was sound.
He had a head on his shoulders.
Besides, checking the Grand Array was something he should have done anyway.
When something went wrong with the Grand Array, suspecting a traitor was only natural.
What he hadn't expected was trouble from the Demon Race.
Who could have guessed it was the Demon Race?
After hearing him out, the Middle-Aged Man raised a hand and punched the Void before him.
Then he gave the three of them a slight nod and said:
"You did well. Keep exploring."
With that, he vanished.
The hall fell quiet once more.
The three exchanged looks.
"Why did His Majesty come?" Yang Xiaobing
