Ju Chi stumbled out of the royal palace. He kept looking back, but found no tracker.
The Dragon King had put him in a dilemma. He had to tell his companions that the Dragon King knew about the rebellion, and that the plot was likely to be mercilessly exploited by the Golden Roc Fort. They had to postpone or even cancel their plans. However, they would expose more secrets.
Ju Chi walked along the deserted streets to avoid everyone. Even stray cats or dogs frightened him in his current state.
He didn't know whether to believe the Dragon King's words or not. He thought again that he was a demon.
As a royal descendant and the guard of the king of the Stone Nation, Ju Chi had had the chance to meet several important figures. When he looked at them from a distance, they were a group of noble and dignified elites. As the distance shortened, their real faces gradually became apparent and they always turned out to be nothing more than mediocre people.
