"Didn't I tell you not to meet again before the uprising? Why did you send me a message?" the man in black robe asked, his voice sounding unusually low and hoarse.
"Reporting to the king, it was the tiger-headed monster from the east... He, he..."
"Did he really ignore the pain of the Soul-Dispersing Nail and go to the Xuanyang Grotto to investigate?" the black-robed man asked in a deep voice.
"Yes." Xiong Ran replied.
"You didn't catch him?" The man in black robe raised his voice, obviously showing some surprise and some blame.
"Originally, he couldn't escape, but I didn't expect he had help." Xiong Ran explained quickly.
"Help? Will there be anyone to help him in this 800-li Lion Camel Ridge?" The black-robed man's tone became more serious.
Obviously, he thought this was just Xiong Ran's excuse.
Dozens of miles away, Shen Luo, who was sitting on a tree, felt something was wrong when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Fu, is your popularity in Lion Camel Ridge so bad?"
"How can I be popular if I always go against others? Even my master's fellow disciples have always been at odds with me." Fu Donglai said with a wry smile.
After hearing this, Shen Luo realized that Fu Donglai was indeed an outlier among the monsters.
"But if not for this, you and I would not be friends." Shen Luo said with a smile.
At this time, a faint fluorescent light flashed in the conch, and another sound was heard.
"He is not a disciple of the Demon Clan, but a human. I didn't remember it before, but now that I recall it, I realize that it was the human who cooperated with Fu Donglai in the Three Realms Martial Arts Conference. His name seems to be Shen Luo." Xiong Ran said.
Shen Luo was also a little surprised when he heard this. That guy actually recognized him through the projection of the Hanging Mirror during the Three Realms Martial Arts Competition.
"It's him? This is a bit strange. With Fu Donglai's personality, it doesn't seem like he would seek help from outside. Are you really not deceiving me in order to escape punishment?" The man in black robe confirmed again.
"Your Majesty, I will never dare to lie to you. If I tell you even a lie, my bones will be crushed to ashes, and my soul will be destroyed." Xiong Ran swore hurriedly.
"I don't think you would dare to do that. Has he found out anything?" asked the man in black robe.
"I don't know about this, but what is certain is that he can't produce any useful evidence." Xiong Ran was very confident about this.
"Hmph, if you can't even take down a half-crippled man who was hit by the Soul-Dispersing Nail, then don't brag here. I really doubt whether you are qualified to sit on that seat?" The man in black robe snorted coldly and said slowly.
"My king, I have no desire for that position. As long as I can be loyal to you and do my bit for the revival of the demon race, I will be satisfied." Xiong Ran quickly expressed his loyalty.
"Don't worry, the position I've given you will not change. But the situation of the three heroes coexisting in Lion Camel Ridge will change, and there will be only one voice in Lion Camel Ridge from now on." The man in black robe looked at him and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for promoting me. I will devote all my energy to serving the demon clan until my death." Xiong Ran said excitedly.
"Okay, is the Yin-Yang Qi bottle properly preserved?" asked the man in black robe.
"I didn't carry it with me, so I kept it carefully. On the day of the sect division ceremony, I will give all the kings a big surprise." Xiong Ran laughed.
