Chapter 1093: Animal!
Animal!
Sand and wind danced in the air, and Theatrical Robes brushed gently.
The Red King stood silently in place, quietly watching the direction Chen Ling left, like a silent sculpture.
Just as he was about to leave, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side, and under the shocked gazes of Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua, grabbed the Red King's collar with one hand!
That was a man wearing an Enforcer's windbreaker. His brows were tightly locked, his eyes flashing with anger and coldness. He just grabbed the Red King's collar like this, lifting him until his heels were suspended in mid-air...
In contrast to his body, the Red King's youth-like physique appeared fragile and thin.
Seeing this scene, the mouths of Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua unconsciously opened wide...
Grabbing the Red King??
Brother, are you that fierce??
With his body extremely offensively grabbed into mid-air, the Red King's youthful face didn't have the slightest emotion. He quietly looked at that face close at hand, speaking indifferently:
"Officer Han Meng, is there something the matter?"
"You... is this how you act as a Master?" Han Meng's tone was incomparably cold. "It's obviously you who wants to control the Calamity of Mockery, it's obviously you who guided the calamity caused by the Calamity of Mockery... Why does Chen Ling have to bear all the consequences?"
"... Oh?" The Red King's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Whether it's those Adjudication Proxies who were killed once by the Calamity of Mockery, or the ordinary people who almost lost their lives due to the Calamity of Mockery, after returning this time, the terror of the Calamity of Mockery will definitely constantly spread among the human higher-ups...
They know the Calamity of Mockery is powerful, chaotic, and impossible to communicate with. From now on, the Human Domains will definitely try their best to target it, and naturally point all the spearheads at Chen Ling in the end... After all, Chen Ling is the Calamity of Mockery, this is no longer a secret.
But they fundamentally don't understand the relationship between Chen Ling and the Calamity of Mockery, let alone know that it was Chen Ling who saved them! The Calamity of Mockery is guilty, Chen Ling is innocent!
Why should Chen Ling carry the sins committed by the Calamity of Mockery in the end?!"
Han Meng's voice was low and angry, like a suppressed volcano...
This Enforcer whose heart was filled with justice had witnessed the entire process with his own eyes, and also saw Chen Ling's helplessness and bitterness. He didn't care about whatever Demigod of the Path of the Actor, leader of the Dusk Society... He only knew that the Red King was obviously Chen Ling's Master, yet he personally guided Chen Ling into the abyss of despair.
To have him just turn a blind eye like this, Han Meng couldn't do it.
"You're wrong." The Red King's voice didn't have the slightest emotional fluctuation. "Even without me, Chen Ling's identity will be announced to the world sooner or later... Having him experience this calamity now is instead a good thing for him."
The Red King paused for a moment,
"As for the Human Domains' misunderstanding of Chen Ling...
Since you want to fight against injustice for him, then why don't you go find the higher-ups of the Human Domains yourself and explain it clearly for him?"
"Of course I will go."
Han Meng answered without hesitation, and then the palm grabbing the Red King's collar exerted even more force,
"Chen Ling is your disciple, and also my subordinate... You, this Master, will scheme against him, abandon him, but I won't... The hardships he suffered from being framed by you today, one day, I will pay it back double on his behalf!"
After saying that, he pushed away the body of the youth in the Theatrical Robe, walking towards the distance without looking back.
The Red King landed on the ground, calmly patting the dust off his clothes' corners,
"Then I wish you good luck... Officer Han Meng."
Han Meng's hands under the hem of his clothes silently clenched tight.
He didn't like the Dusk Society... he didn't in the past, and even less now.
Seeing him leave, the Red King's gaze also swept towards Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua to the side. Between these two, one was quite sensible, and the other was quite lazy. They just blinked and did nothing, like two disconnected bots.
The Red King pointed at Jian Changsheng lying on the ground, "You two, take good care of him."
"Yes!" Sun Bumian immediately stood at attention.
The Red King raised his hand unhurriedly, grabbing towards the nothingness. At the same time, a Golden Ring on his index finger flashed past Sun Bumian's eyes...
The instant he saw this ring, Sun Bumian suddenly blanked out in place.
As a curtain in the nothingness was silently lifted, the Red King walked in without looking back, his figure crossing hundreds of kilometers, disappearing without a trace.
In the desolate ruins, Jiang Xiaohua spoke sullenly:
"They're all gone... Are you going to carry Spades, or should I?"
"..."
"Diamonds?"
"... It's him... it's actually him?!!!" Sun Bumian suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking as if he had seen a ghost. "My precious ring!! My precious gold... it actually wasn't stolen by the Path of the Thief, it was actually him?!!"
Sun Bumian fiercely grabbed his head with both hands. In a fit of anger he got angry, stomping his feet while lowering his voice to vent his anger, as if afraid his immediate superior would hear if his voice was too loud...
"Animal!! Animal!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"
...
Outside the Wuji Domain.
A woman wearing a gray cloak and a young girl in a black dress carrying a Coffin had been waiting for a long time.
The curtain lifted. After the Red King arrived here, his expression finally completely relaxed.
He took a deep breath, slowly exhaling,
"Let's go... it's all resolved."
"... Did you really want to push him to the Integration Faction that much?" Under the Grey King's hood, a cold female voice sounded. "If you deceive him like this, he will hate you."
"I didn't deceive him, everything I said was the truth... If he can't control the Calamity of Mockery, everything is meaningless. He is the only way out for this world." The Red King paused for a moment. "Old Six has already mastered the method to maintain his 'sense of self' from me. I don't have anything I can teach him... If he wants to further control the Calamity of Mockery, he can only count on the Integration Faction to exert their strength.
That group from the Integration Faction still has some true abilities."
"Aren't you afraid he won't come back? The hope you painstakingly cultivated, ultimately turning against you... Aren't you afraid?"
"That's my disciple, why should I be afraid?"
"He's already no longer your disciple."
"Did he say he wants to leave the sect? Did I say I expelled him from the sect?" The Red King spoke unhurriedly. "He hasn't even left the Dusk Society... When the time is ripe, he will come back."
The Grey King didn't answer, seemingly silently rolling her eyes under the hood.
She rubbed the head of the black-dressed girl beside her:
"Qingyan, be obedient. In the future we won't learn from them... They are clearly men, but the two of them combined have more schemes than the stars in the sky."
Liu Qingyan opened her mouth, still hesitantly pointing above her head, "Master, there are no more stars in the sky..."
The glimmer of dawn dispelled the night color. The Grey King looked up, but couldn't see any stars, only a faint hint of red rising from the east.
The Red King slowly stopped his footsteps.
His eyes stared tightly at that increasingly bright "red", his expression unprecedentedly solemn. In the Tianshu Domain, his conversation with Lu Xun resurfaced in his heart.
"The time left for us isn't much..." The Red King murmured to himself,
"[It], is coming back soon."
