“Eh?” The Crimson Knight looked behind Avril and seemed to have discovered something.
What surprised her was nothing else but the two people standing behind Avril. Both had different appearances. One looked very old, while the other looked very young.
The old man wore a long black robe, and he looked decent. He didn’t look like an extraordinary person but more like an ordinary gentleman. However, at this moment, the old man was half-kneeling and standing with the other people around him. Nothing seemed unusual, and he seemed very calm. It was none other than Ferrier.
As for the young man not far away, he looked a little abnormal. He was tall and big, and his entire body seemed to be somewhat sturdy. However, he looked a little abnormally pale. Although he was kneeling there at this moment, his body exuded a controllable aura. There seemed to be a faint, terrifying power hidden in his body. Even the Crimson Knight could not help but cast a sidelong glance at the young man.
This person was none other than Wang Zhong, who had had a brief encounter with Chen Heng. After the duel between Wang Zhong and Chen Heng, Chen Heng had found an opportunity to plant the seed of killing, and they had never seen each other again.
However, Chen Heng never thought Wang Zhong would join as Ariel’s subordinates. The reason was related to Ariel’s actions during this period. In the past few days, Avril had spent a lot of effort to rope in the local forces on the Qika Planet to prevent the Golden King from escaping this planet. The Wang family, which Wang Zhong came from, was also one of Avril’s targets.
Therefore, he entered Avril’s line of sight. As the representative of the Wang family and the future successor of the Wang family, Wang Zhong had joined Avril’s hands, and his status was relatively
high.
After discovering Wang Zhong’s killing power, even Avril, a fifth rank, paid great attention, as she believed that Wang Zhong’s future was limitless. Therefore, Wang Zhong was selected as an official member of the Round Table, and he only needed to be confirmed once.
During this ceremony to welcome the Crimson Knight, Avril had specially brought him out. One could see how much importance she attached to him.
The Crimson Knight stared at Wang Zhong, and her gaze fell on his body for a long time, as if she wanted to see everything about him. She felt a mighty force on Wang Zhong’s body. Although it was not terrifying in quantity, its essence was highly far-reaching. Even the Crimson Knight could not help but feel a strange feeling, causing her to pay attention to him for a moment.
The power that even the Crimson Knight could not see through was none other than the killing power. The killing power originated from the divinity of slaughter. At the same time, divinity originated from the combination of the Power of God and the Power of Law. Its essence was undoubtedly very far-reaching, even higher than the Crimson Knight. It was naturally normal for her to be unable to see through it.
Of course, essence and strength were different. Even if Wang Zhong’s essence was far-reaching, he currently was not even worthy of carrying the Crimson Knight’s shoes in terms of pure strength. A single thought in the Crimson Knight’s heart could easily strangle Wang Zhong to death, leaving nothing behind. This was indeed a reality.
After standing on the spot for a moment, the Crimson Knight withdrew her gaze. Then, she turned around and continued to walk forward. Behind her, the huge Crimson Crystal automatically shrank, following the footsteps of the Crimson Knight. Then, it emitted a weak light and fused into the body of the Crimson Knight.
Soon, all the strange phenomena in the surroundings disappeared. There was nothing else except the terrifying aura left behind by the Crimson Knight.
Meanwhile, Avril and the others silently sent the Crimson Knight away. They did not dare show any unnecessary emotions from the beginning to the end.
“How is the Golden King now?” In a quiet and spacious room, the Crimson Knight asked Avril.
“He should still be here, on this star.” Avril’s expression was respectful as she listened to the Crimson Knight’s words, and she quickly said, “After the previous incident, I immediately ordered people to lockdown this star. The Golden King wouldn’t be able to leave within a short period.”
Besides the usual methods, extraordinary people naturally could use their strength to cross and travel through the galaxy. However, these means would require a certain degree of power to operate. At the very least, it required the strength of a fifth rank and above to be able to do so, and only by oneself.
With the Golden King’s current strength, he should not be able to do so. Moreover, ever since the Golden King appeared, the Round Table’s forces had been paying attention to this place and had been monitoring this remote corner.
They were constantly on guard for the Golden King’s appearance and departure and did not find any unusual spatial fluctuations in their transmitted data. The Golden King should not have left this area based on this finding. At this moment, she was still growing in the Qika Star.
“However, after the first time, the Golden King did not expose her aura due to the alert given, so we could not determine her exact location.” Looking at the Crimson King, Avril spoke softly and looked a little regretful as she reported this.
Lu Yao was cautious. Besides the first time where she was exposed due to an unexpected incident, Lu Yao carefully used a secret technique to hide her metamorphosis and aura during the subsequent metamorphosis. Thus, she did not expose her location.
It was also because no matter how hard Avril and the others tried, they could not determine the exact location of the Golden King anymore. This also caused them a lot of trouble when they tried capturing the Golden King.
“You’ve already done very well.” Listening to Avril’s words, the Crimson Knight nodded to recognize her recent actions.
Knowing that she was no match and that there were no other forces to support her, she decisively blocked off the escape route to drive the Golden King to death on this star. Judging from the situation, Avril had done an excellent job.
Even the Crimson Knight herself could only do so much in her position at that time. Therefore, she did not say much about Avril’s actions but only nodded in affirmation. As for the location of the Golden King, she did not care.
“It doesn’t matter.” The Crimson Knight looked calm, and her face seemed especially cold under the crimson mask, “As long as she’s here, she can’t run away…” As soon as she finished her words, she floated around, then looked at the windowsill outside.
Under her gaze, a faint layer of crimson aura was drifting toward the outside world, forming a huge crimson net that gradually covered the entire Qika Star. Unfortunately, no one could see all of this for the time being.
Compared to the people around her, the Crimson Knight’s power level was too high that no one could feel it even if she was right in front of them. There were very few people on the Qika Star who could genuinely feel this change in power and the actions of the Crimson Knight.
As the crimson net gradually opened up, an invisible force engulfed the entire Qika Star. When this net finally shrouded the Qika Star as a whole, it would be the time for Lu Yao to be exposed.
The Crimson Knight appeared to be very patient regarding this. At this moment, she was still here, quietly waiting.
“Hmm.” Chen Heng stood on the balcony in the quiet room, holding a paintbrush in his hand. There was an oil painting before him. It looked like he was painting.
He seemed to have sensed something and subconsciously looked into the distance. Under his gaze, the Crimson radiance in the distance covered everything to the extent it almost dyed the entire star crimson.
Of course, this scene was unique and extraordinary. But in fact, everything in the outside world did not seem to have changed much. Everything was very calm, and there were no issues.
‘It’s getting closer and closer… Looking at the changes in the sky, Chen Heng silently sighed, then put down his brush.
It had been two days since the arrival of the Crimson Knight, and there didn’t seem to be any changes in the surroundings, at least from the looks of it. The mortals in the outside world were still as busy as ever. The surroundings were still bustling, and no changes could be seen.
However, through the official channels and the Black Dream Group, Chen Heng could feel the tension in the atmosphere. Some changes had already occurred. Most people had already received the news of the Crimson Knight’s arrival.
No wonder. On the day when the Crimson King descended on Qika Star, she directly left a meteor in the sky. That scene was visible to everyone. Even a mortal could clearly see the revealed changes, not to mention the officials. The news of the Crimson Knight’s arrival was almost public among the people of a specific class.
‘It’s a pity that the time is too short… Chen Heng sighed.
He already had a premonition about the arrival of the Crimson Knight. Many things in this world were not set in stone.
Chen Heng’s actions had already changed the original trajectory of fate, causing many changes. It was also because of this that the early arrival of the Crimson Knight was not unusual. However, even so, her arrival was still much earlier than expected.
As a result, Chen Heng’s preparations had not been completed, making Chen Heng exceptionally busy during these two days.
Behind him, a series of knocks on the door began to sound. At the same time, there seemed to be a series of clear footsteps, like the sound of high heels hitting the ground. Chen Heng stepped forward and opened the door.
A woman’s figure appeared. She was wearing a black pleated dress with light makeup on her face. It looked like she had been meticulously dressed. She stood in front of Chen Heng’s door and smiled at him, “Aren’t you going to invite me in?”
“Please come in.” Chen Heng also smiled and invited her in.
The two of them sat on the sofa in the living room.
“What’s wrong?” Walking in, the woman first looked at the decorations, then looked at Chen Heng, and asked curiously, “Why did you suddenly think of me today? Is there something you want me to do again?” She said softly and casually.
“Can’t I invite you over for a drink if there’s nothing else?” Chen Heng smiled and poured her a cup of fruit juice.
“It’s not impossible, but the possibility is minimal.” The woman said casually, “If you don’t have it…”
