Chapter 760: Eternal Mountain King and Sky-Flame King
Cain saw all eyes focused on him, but he shook his head.
"I did not rescue him. He left the Silver City on his own and traveled all the way to the Azure State to meet me."
The powerhouses were shocked as they heard those words. They were sure that the new Prime Minister had exercised strict vigilance over Minxet and his family.
The old man was just a Wind Tribulation Apotheosis Master, so he definitely did not have the brute power to leave the Silver City alone. When Prime Minister Minxet saw the way those people looked at him, he just smiled.
"While my battle power might not seem like much, I have spent over two thousand years as a member of the Imperial Court, serving as the Prime Minister for both the Alchemy Sword Emperor and the Golden Emperor. I know the Silver City's secret passages like the back of my hand and have accumulated many favors and treasures. I could have left the Silver City whenever I wanted; I was just waiting."
The Divine Ascension Masters present were shocked to hear those words, and a newfound respect appeared in their hearts as they gazed at the old man. Minxet knew he was in danger in the Silver City but did not lose focus or allow fear to dictate his moves.
As for what Minxet was waiting for, that was clear to all. The old man waited for someone with the power to challenge the new Prime Minister and the corrupted Imperial Court, and that man was no other than the Scarlet King.
Once again, all eyes focused on him, and the Scarlet King glanced at those people before speaking.
"Your remaining behind was not just due to your battle power but, most importantly, your connections with the Silver City.
I need two things from you, the first of which is your understanding of the Silver City's defensive and offensive capabilities. The last time I visited Eden, I was simply a Wave Champion, and my soul force was too weak to perceive its true might. I am not afraid of marching to Eden, but I want to understand what I will face once I am there."
