Chapter 274 - 30 The Goodwill of Kings
Being stared at by a Heavenly God, this treatment, even the King of the Black Nation had only experienced it as a child when he had gone to the Land of Eternal Night to receive his title.
The Unbounded Emperor had given him scrutiny and goodwill, whereas in the eyes of the Divine Ancestor, there was only a stark warning, a warning of death!
After the Divine Ancestor left, the Burning Serpent dared not dawdle; it rushed back to the Ancestor’s star of the demons in ten years’ time. It appeared to be a lengthy duration, but the Burning Serpent knew it wasn’t enough—it had to set off immediately, otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to return to the side of the Divine Ancestor within ten years.
The massive body twisted as the Burning Serpent flew towards the sky, but before leaving, it shot Lu Hong a glare, its eyes brimming with hatred.
Indeed, if it weren’t for him, how could the Divine Ancestor possibly have found this place?
Fortunately, the Burning Serpent only complained. As it left, the five people on the broken walls of the Solar Competition Arena heaved a sigh of relief simultaneously.
Without the Burning Serpent’s intimidating pressure, the Cang King barely stood up and said to Lu Hong, "Baron, thanks to you this time, you saved me and Umbra from the jaws of the serpent. Please accept my bow!" The change in status was incredibly smooth; the Cang King had previously entertained the thought of recruiting him. As for now, well, with a Heavenly God potentially appearing at his back, who cares about such trivial matters! Building a connection was far more important!
Not only the Cang King but also the Kings of the Black Nation, Shate Kingdom, Liang Chen Kingdom, and others bowed in thanks.
"Please stand up, my lords. It was a coincidence. If it weren’t for this huge snake, I presume the Divine Ancestor wouldn’t have made an appearance to help," Lu Hong said with a bitter smile. He hadn’t expected the Divine Clan of the demons to secretly leave a divine thought in him—was this surveillance? Although saved, Lu Hong felt a ripple of unease inside. There were no acts of kindness without a reason. During the Northern War, when he himself was in trouble, the divine thought of the Divine Ancestor had never shown up. Its intention wasn’t as simple as care; what plans the other party had, Lu Hong didn’t know. Only by continuously increasing his strength could he evade the control of others.
"Oh, scared?" At this moment, on the distant ancestral star above, the Divine Ancestor opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth curving slightly upwards, and then he muttered, "Lu Hong, Lu Hong, grow up quickly. I’m looking forward to a battle with you!"
