The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

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 Cityʼs 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 Cityʼs 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.”

Cainʼs face was solemn, and he did not dare to underestimate the might of an Empireʼs capital. The Deus Behemoth Empireʼs Amazon had a portal toward the Astral Bloodline Realm, which was, in reality, the body of Anark, a Primordial whose corpse could compare with a small continent.

He was sure that Eden, the capital of the Godslayer Humankind Empire built by the First Titan, did not fall behind in mysteries.

After Cain uttered those words, all eyes turned toward two people. One was a middle-aged man with a robust body, measuring nearly four meters in height, with skin that seemed to contain cracks, as if he was made of earth. The other was an old man with a thin body, yet his entire existence radiated a white fire that could burn all things.

These were the Eternal Mountain King and Sky-Flame King, the descendants of the Sixth and Fifth Emperors of the Godslayer Humankind.

Of the eight Emperor Lineages, these two chose to side with the Scarlet King. Of course, that did not mean the other six were against the Scarlet Alliance. The First and Second Emperors of the Godslayer Humankind did not leave descendants, so there was no Lineage. The fourth Imperial Lineage, the Azure Bloodline, was destroyed.

As for the Third Imperial Lineage, the descendants of the Jewel Soul Emperor, and the Seventh Imperial Lineage, the Alchemy Sword Bloodline, they chose to leave the Prometheus Sector.

If there were one Lineage opposing Cain, that would be the current Imperial Lineage of the Golden Emperor.

The Eternal Mountain King and Sky-Flame King looked at each other and showed a complicated expression.

”Is there a problem?”

Cainʼs voice echoed across the room. While they were only words, he had infused his power into them, making them ring inside the brains of the two Kings. The sound was so strong that they nearly lost balance.

While he was willing to accept these people into the Scarlet Alliance as it would make things easier, Cain would not allow any freeloaders, and if they thought they could side with him yet keep secrets, they were surely mistaken.

The Eternal Mountain King and Sky-Flame King, Late Divine Ascension Masters, were top-tier even among Titans, thanks to the power of their bloodlines. Yet it was clear how much higher the Scarlet Kingʼs power was.

Immediately, the Sky-Flame King took a step forward and performed a bow to Cain before speaking.

”Scarlet King, itʼs not that we donʼt want to share our knowledge. After all, we understood that something like this could happen once we sided with you. But while we have some information about the Silver City, it has been thousands of years since our families controlled Eden.”

The Sky-Flame King made a pause at this moment before sighing and speaking with a complicated smile.

”We are honestly afraid that the information we give you could not only be futile but lead to problems and be used against you.”

When the rest of the powerhouses heard that, they all softly nodded, understanding the duoʼs predicament. The new Prime Minister would find out the Sky-Flame King and Eternal Mountain King sided with the Scarlet King, and that man could use that to set an ambush.

Cain could travel into the Silver City, following a path that, according to the Eternal Mountain King and Sky-Flame King, was safe, only to be met with all sorts of destructive formations. If he survived, he would naturally blame the duo for lying, and knowing the nature of the Scarlet King, they were sure the only punishment would be death.

”There is no need to worry about that. I can determine the date on which any formation or energy matrix was installed. You just need to tell me what you know from your family records, and I will take care of the rest.”
