The red-haired woman glanced back, noticing Zhu Chang disappear.
She nodded her head in satisfaction. It seemed like he wasn't lying. She was safe. She left.
...
There was another person who was keeping an eye on Zhu Chang. The person didn't come near Zhu Chang as long as he was here. It was as if she knew that she shouldn't come out as long as the person was here.
She remained in the floating palace. It was only after Zhu Chang disappeared that she left her Palace. She flew straight to the place where Zhu Chang was previously standing.
The Blood Dragon Emperor's disappearance finally released the pressure from the Emperors. The Emperors stood up, sighing a breath of relief when he became tense again at the arrival of the Queen.
"Your Majesty!" They respectfully called out.
The Northern Emperor took a step forward and picked up his knife. "As we worried. That Dragon Emperor is back. Fortunately, he had to leave, but I believe he will return soon."
"Of course he would," the Queen replied. "Anyway, do any of you know who this Long Chen is?"
"Ah, we don't know." The Emperors lowered their heads.
"The three people talked about saving this Long Chen. They also left to do that," the Queen said.
"Y-you heard that? You were here?" The Northern Emperor asked, stunned.
Previously he thought that the Queen came here late. But it seemed like she was here long ago. But still, she didn't step forward to help them?
'It appears she isn't stronger than the Blood Dragon Emperor. It must be why she didn't help the first Emperor in the past and instead ran away,' the Northern Emperor thought. 'We have no option but to run away when we have time.'
"You're wrong about one thing. I did hear their conversation, but that didn't mean I was here. I could hear even in the Palace." the woman turned to look at the Northern Emperor. "And yes, I can hear your thoughts."
"F-forgive me. I didn't mean it in an insulting way. I was just wondering if you didn't want to help us," the Northern Emperor replied, keeping his head down
"I didn't come down to help you, but it's not because I was concerned about that Dragon. If I had to be concerned about anyone, I would have been concerned about that man with the Blood Dragon Emperor," the woman answered.
"That man? He was certainly strong but are you saying that he was stronger than the Blood Dragon Emperor?" The Southern Emperor asked, stunned.
"Do you even need to ask me that? If you had seen the two of them together, you would've known your answers. That Dragon didn't even dare to talk to the man in a loud voice. He didn't even make a noise when the man threatened him," the Queen said.
"So that green-eyed man was stronger than the Blood Dragon Emperor. That's troubling. It appears we aren't just dealing with the Blood Dragon Emperor but someone even more threatening who is with him as well?" The Western Emperor asked.
"Do we even have a chance here? We can't even defeat the Blood Dragon Emperor alone, let alone defeating the man as well," the Eastern Emperor agreed. "Let alone attacking them; we couldn't even get close to them before being forced to taste the soil."
"Who exactly was that man? Why didn't we ever know about him before? Did he really keep such a low profile until now?" The Northern Emperor muttered.
"The man was excited like a child to fight you. Do you think he could have kept a low profile?" The woman asked. "It's clear that he's not from here. It was evident to me from the moment he used his first attack. The strength of that attack was too powerful for the standards of the Immoral World."
"Too powerful for the Immortal World? That can only mean they're from the upper worlds? The Demonic Realm? Or the Heavenly Realm?" The Northern Emperor asked.
" He didn't have the features of the Demons, so he should be a Heavenly Warrior," the Western Emperor responded.
"But Heavenly Warriors wear Golden Armor! That man wasn't wearing any Armor. Moreover, the Heavenly Warriors wouldn't have attacked us. Some of us work for them, after all. They don't interfere in the matters of the Immortal World to this extent!" The Northern Emperor retorted.
"That's true as well. So he doesn't have the attire and dignity of a Heavenly Warrior, and he doesn't have the features of a Demon? So who is he?" The Western Emperor asked.
"Ah, guys. Aren't we forgetting something?" The Southern Emperor slowly said.
"Forgetting what?" The others turned to look at him.
"There aren't just two upper worlds. There are more which are comparable to the Heaven in strength...' the Southern Emperor said.
"You mean... The Heavenly Beast Realm?" The Northern Emperor asked, stunned. "I don't think I ever saw a Heavenly Beast in the Immortal World. They are as secluded as a species can get. That's why I forgot about that. But it would make sense!"
"That's right!" The Western Emperor nodded. "It would make sense! The Heavenly Beasts can also take human shape! So it wouldn't be wrong. Moreover, most of the Heavenly Beast Species don't have any special features or attire in their human form. At least from what I heard."
"It would indeed make sense! That would justify their strength and why the Blood Dragon Emperor was fearful to him!" the Northern Emperor added.
"It's still strange. No Heavenly Beast ever appeared there. Why would one suddenly come? And why would he come to help the Blood Dragon Emperor of all things?" he asked.
"Who told you that Heavenly Beasts never come here?" the Queen lazily said as she walked to the big hole in the ground.
"You mean they come here without us finding out?" The Northern Emperor asked.
"Without you finding out? Are you really asking that? There were two Heavenly Beasts before you just a short time ago. You couldn't find them even then. How would you find out? You overestimate yourself. Only Beasts have an easier time in recognizing Heavenly Beast," the Queen answered.
"Amongst humans, it takes a high level of skill to recognize a Heavenly Emperor," she added. "In fact, it's not just today. It has been going on since I took my place in the Palace. Suddenly there are Heavenly Beasts all over the Immortal World."
"Are the Heavenly Beasts trying to invade the Immortal World?" The Heavenly Emperor asked.
"If they were trying to invade the Immortal World, do you think they would have wanted until now?"
