The King of Cities quickly arrived at the Spirit Cliff. The Spirit Cliff was supposed to be a diamond of the underworld, and came with a killing barrier.
It would be difficult for even someone like him to go down.
The King of Cities spent a great deal of energy, fighting through layer after layer of restriction until he finally got a glance of the ice pond.
A glance was also all he could get from there. The glance made him reel in shock and anger, turning back to retreat at once.
The ice pond really had been half-emptied. If it really had been that kid who took the water, he was going to have to second guess killing Lilly.
Climbing back up to the Spirit Cliff, the King of Cities was so angry he hacked off one of the nearby mountains. It did little to calm his fury.
He watched as the mountain fell apart, and suddenly paused.
Hold on. There was a risk to killing that kid right away.
But what if he just happened to accidentally kill Lilly while he was cultivating and sent a mountain crumbling on her?
He didn't even know Lilly was in the underworld, right? It was an accident, he was innocent!
Or… he could have gotten into a disagreement with the King of Transformation, which resulted in a fight… that Lilly was collateral damage of.
If that was the case, he didn't even want to kill her! He was originally going to send her into the mortal realm too!
The King of Cities laughed loudly, his eyes flashing murderously as he charged back towards the forest Lilly was in!
Over at the forest.
The King of Transformation appeared in front of Lilly right after the King of Cities had left.
Lilly, who was about to take the entire Hidden Valley with her, backed up warily like a frizzy little animal as she asked sharply, "Who are you?"
The King of Transformation did not know what to say.
When did the Ruler of Hell turn into a little kid.
There was still the air of authority between her brows.
It truly was… something else to look at.
"The King of Cities is going to be here in five minutes," the King of Transformation reminded kindly, "You should get out of here as soon as possible."
Lilly's face shifted at once. "How would he know…"
The King of Transformation said, "He was following you guys from the back just now… either way, you can still make it in time if you leave now."
Lisa was the first to react. She picked up Lilly, running at once at top speed!
Polly's green feathers nearly turned white with terror, squawking repeatedly, "Run! Come on, run!"
The King of Transformation's mouth twitched.
He watched Lilly run like a human watched an ant trying to escape.
The harem spirit panicked. "We won't make it in time even if we leave now! We've only got five minutes, how far could we get?"
The weakling spirit frowned. "He shouldn't even know we came down."
