Xiao He blinked, then nodded.
"As you wish, Your Majesty."
He approached the unconscious Elder Mao and then squinted. After a few seconds…
Whoosh…
A fierce wind rose in the throne room. And then, a strong pressure.
"Aaaah!"
Elder Mao jumped up and clutched his heart. He had probably just experienced the greatest fright of his life.
Shaking all over, he looked at Xiao He and trembled. His previous emotions—fear, shock, and anger—vanished in an instant.
"T-the Shadow King…"
"Hm…"
Xiao He's brows furrowed at the mention of this title, which only intensified the pressure.
Elder Mao immediately shut his mouth and bowed. Only then did the pressure disappear. When Xiao He left, the elder found his heart beating wildly.
"How could I not have noticed him? But then again, if it's the Shadow King… it's no wonder."
