Han Sen felt bad. When he was running away, he had changed directions a few times. He didn't expect Meng Lie to be able to track him down.
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come back. No matter how weird that sea of clouds is, it is better than facing Meng Lie." Han Sen turned around, wanting to return to the milky sea of clouds.
But just as he moved, Meng Lie teleported in front of him and blocked his way.
"Han Sen, if you come with me, I won't do anything to you. You might be able to live." Meng Lie didn't attack. He looked at Han Sen as he spoke.
"If I go back to the Extreme King with you, how can I live?" Han Sen lifted his lips.
Meng Lie laughed and said, "I won't lie to you. You were supposed to die, but you made Lando deified. That gave you a chance to live.
If you are willing to serve the Extreme King wholeheartedly, we can forgive you for killing a prince. "
Han Sen was shocked. He hadn't expected Meng Lie to say something like that.
"I killed Bai King's son," Han Sen said with a look of disbelief. "Would he let me live?"
Meng Lie laughed and said, "As you know, the king has a hundred children. Who knows how many grandchildren he has? He was an unfavored prince. If someone else had tried to kill him, they would have been killed. But you, Han Sen, are different. If you are willing to work for the Extreme King, I can guarantee your survival."
Han Sen rolled his eyes. If he fought Meng Lie, he wouldn't be able to beat him. And if he ran, he might not be able to escape. He might as well pretend to be obedient and wait for an opportunity to strike later.
Meng Lie went on to say, "There is no way you can escape to Sky Palace. Even if you did, you wouldn't think this would be over, would you?
The Extreme King's prince won't die for nothing. "
"Fourth Uncle, it is like you said," Han Sen said with a frown. "Your Extreme King prince cannot die for nothing. If I go back with you, do you think I will still be alive?"
Meng Lie smiled and said, "Han Sen must die, but you may not be Han Sen."
Han Sen immediately understood what Meng Lie meant. His heart jumped.
Seeing Han Sen waver, Meng Lie went on to say, "You killed a prince of the Extreme King. That is a crime we cannot forgive. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have made such a concession. If you insist on going to Sky Palace, whether it is because of your crime or because of you, the Extreme King will not allow you to live."
Meng Lie's words were very clear. If Han Sen was willing to work for them, he could live.
If they couldn't use him, they'd do everything they could to kill Han Sen, even if he escaped to Sky Palace.
Han Sen wished to say something, but he suddenly saw a group of blue cloud beasts coming his way.
Meng Lie frowned. He had the presence of a deified elite, and the cloud beasts were only Marquise class. He thought it was strange that they dared to come his way.
He waved his hand, and the cloud beasts disappeared. Under the power of a deified, not even their bones were left.
"Han Sen, what is your decision?" Meng Lie asked, looking at Han Sen.
Han Sen didn't say anything. Meng Lie didn't rush him, either. He just stood where he was and waited patiently.
But Han Sen wasn't thinking about that. He was thinking about the cloud beasts that had just come his way.
With a deified elite there, the cloud beasts shouldn't have dared to come close. They should have run away after smelling the scent, but they were still coming.
The cloud beasts looked very similar to the ones Han Sen had seen in the milky sea of clouds. But this wasn't the milky sea of clouds anymore. The cloud beasts there seemed to be evil. Han Sen thought of something, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Before Han Sen could answer, another group of cloud beasts came running. This time, it was a different kind of cloud beast. It wasn't just a group of cloud beasts.
There were a few King class cloud beasts. They were the kings of their own cloud beast groups.
Lower-level cloud beasts weren't very smart. They might not have been able to sense Meng Lie's deified presence.
But King class cloud beasts weren't that stupid. They still led their own cloud beasts and charged forward. That wasn't normal.
Meng Lie looked angry. He waved his hand, and his gold substance chains turned into an area. The cloud beasts were killed in an instant.
The King class cloud beasts were killed in an instant. They couldn't fight back.
"If you have what it takes, come out and fight me. Don't play tricks behind my back. All you do is send cloud beasts to die. You are a coward." Meng Lie didn't look at the bodies of the cloud beasts. He just spoke to the sky.
Meng Lie could tell that the cloud beasts weren't normal. He suspected that someone was behind this, controlling the cloud beasts to attack him.
But Han Sen knew that before Meng Lie showed up, he had already run into this situation. There was no way the other party was targeting Meng Lie.
"Weird. If the other party has the power to control cloud beasts, they must be very powerful. Why aren't they attacking me?"
Han Sen thought to himself. "And these cloud beasts don't look like they are being controlled by someone. It looks like they have their eyes on something."
Suddenly, Han Sen's heart jumped. He thought of something, and he looked into Destiny's Tower.
Han Sen had encountered cloud beasts before, but there hadn't been this many of them. The cloud beasts hadn't attacked him without fear of death.
All these strange things seemed to have happened after he caught the black cricket and took away the orchid.
Han Sen thought there was something wrong with the milky sea of clouds. But after he left the milky sea of clouds, something like this had happened. That meant it wasn't the sea's problem.
"Are the cloud beasts coming for this?"
Han Sen looked at the first floor of Destiny's Tower. He had put the cloud, the black cricket, and the orchid there.
The cloud had wrapped up the orchid, and the black cricket was nowhere to be seen. Clearly, it had entered the cloud as well.
"If the cloud beasts were attracted by this, then there is something wrong with where they came from," Han Sen thought to himself.
But he didn't know if the cloud beasts had been attracted by the orchid or the black cricket. With Meng Lie next to him, he couldn't make a judgment call.
Meng Lie didn't see any other elites appear, so he turned to Han Sen and asked, "Han Sen, have you made up your mind?"
"Okay. I will go back to the Extreme King with you, but you have to guarantee my safety," Han Sen said to Meng Lie after a moment of hesitation.
"Don't worry. I don't want you to die. If you come back with me and work for the Extreme King, I won't let a single hair on your head get hurt," Meng Lie said coldly.
