"Find out the truth? Is there a specific time limit? Do you mean I have to be detained here indefinitely until you've found out the truth?"
Zhou Ze smiled faintly:
"With such a huge loophole in the Wulong Starfield, I would have been dead long ago if it weren't for some trump cards. I haven't even asked why your Wulong Starfield is so poorly managed, allowing an immortal god to infiltrate within, yet you keep pressing me?"
"If you want to detain me, then produce the evidence! I am also a member of the Primordial Realm. You're detaining me without even asking questions. Aren't you showing a bit too little disrespect to my Virtual Universe Company?"
"Besides, even if I really have a problem, it's my Virtual Universe Company that will deal with me. You don't seem to have the right to detain me, do you?"
The other four kings present were all taken aback, not expecting Zhou Ze to be so stubborn, refusing even to stay in the "Silk Rain Palace" temporarily.
Longjue Wang felt a chill run down his spine.
Oh no! The apprentice's words have essentially turned against the Demon Candle King. This is going to be difficult. The Demon Candle King, relying on his Venerable father, has always been domineering and arrogant.
Even kings of the same rank rarely speak to him like this, making things even more difficult to resolve. This Demon Candle King will definitely try every means to pin the blame on the apprentice.
"Are you questioning me?" The terrifying aura emanating from the Demon Candle King seemed to freeze the entire space.
The Demon Candle King didn't want to go too far, but being so defied by a mere cosmic-level being was unbearable for him, who was essentially a giant baby.
"Are you questioning the Supreme Being of the Universe?" Zhou Ze sneered.
The Demon King's aura seemed to have no effect on him.
Reaching the third level of mental state makes one the nemesis of such intangible influences. One can even withstand illusions at the level of a cosmic venerable, let alone the pressure of a mere king's consciousness.
Zhou Ze's words stunned everyone present. Apart from the few kings present, the other powerful figures who had come with him didn't dare to utter a sound.
"Is this kid really that headstrong?"
"This is the first time I've seen someone so stubborn, Demon Candle King. This little guy is in trouble!"
"Exciting! A mere cosmic-level being dares to go toe-to-toe with the Demon Candle King? Looks like he just joined the Virtual Universe Company and is acting lawlessly."
"This kid's background must be quite impressive, considering the person standing in front of him is a King-level Immortal!"
"This little guy is not simple. He is so calm in the face of the pressure of the consciousness of the King of Immortality."
Those who followed them either felt a sense of awe or engaged in a spiritual exchange with their friends.
"You, a mere cosmic-level being, dare to defy me!!" The Demon Candle King was utterly enraged. From birth until now, apart from a very few arrogant beings, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this.
Even if the person who dares to challenge him is no weaker than him in terms of strength and background, when has a mere cosmic-level being ever dared to disregard him like this?
So what if he's a member of the Primordial Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company? So what if he's a disciple of a so-called "Saint Master"? Behind him is his father, a peerless genius who appeared only once every tens of millions of epochs, and who broke through to the Universe Venerable realm nearly ten thousand epochs ago!
More importantly, his teacher is also backed by the Void Gold Master, who stands at the pinnacle of the universe!
"Senior King Longjue? Please contact the Cosmic Venerable stationed here!" Zhou Ze, unconcerned about the enraged Demon Candle King, smiled at King Longjue instead.
"Even that venerable senior didn't say what he wanted me to do. When did a mere giant infant who rose to the rank of king through resources become someone who..."
"How dare you defy him?"
Upon hearing this, countless people present gasped in shock.
"My goodness! This little guy—"
"Gulp—this apprentice is courting death—"
"This little guy is in big trouble. Even if they are both King-level experts, they would never dare to expose his weakness in front of the Demon Candle King."
"Wow! This little guy is amazing!"
At this moment, the Demon Candle King stared intently at Zhou Ze, seemingly falling silent for a moment and making no move. But everyone knew that this was just a sign of the approaching storm.
The atmosphere in the air had frozen solid.
King Longjue was completely dumbfounded. How could things have turned out this way?
He was genuinely afraid that the Demon Candle King would act on the spot and try to kill the apprentice. In this situation, he was caught in a dilemma: whether to stop him or not.
If they intervened, they would surely be resented by the Candle King, who was now almost completely out of his mind. If they didn't intervene, they might face accusations from the company's higher-ups and even the "Holy Master" behind the apprentices.
He just wanted to live a peaceful life, why did this have to happen to him? Sigh—
He only hoped that His Excellency could arrive in time.
"boom!"
Just then, a terrifying pressure came from above everyone's heads, and the Cosmic Venerable, who was shrouded in armor and had dark red eyes, appeared.
Everyone, even the Demon Candle King who was about to unleash his power, instinctively trembled.
This scene filled King Longjue with both relief and a silent astonishment, for the Venerable One had arrived far too quickly.
Almost as soon as he sent the email, His Holiness arrived.
"This apprentice—his teacher, the 'Holy Master,' is indeed no ordinary person—"
"Venerable One!"
Everyone, including the Demon Candle King, couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement. Although he was a giant baby, he wasn't stupid. If his father knew that he dared to be disrespectful in front of a Venerable One, he would be slapped.
The Cosmic Venerable glanced at it indifferently, then said, "This matter ends here!"
After saying this, the Cosmic Venerable disappeared into thin air.
Since the Supreme Being of the Universe had spoken, no one dared to disobey. Even if the Demon Candle King was unwilling, he dared not say anything more.
His eyes were filled with hatred, as if he wanted to glare Zhou Ze to death. His beautiful face was contorted, as if he wanted to devour Zhou Ze alive.
"Demon Candle King? May I leave now?" Zhou Ze asked with a faint smile.
This little guy is too ruthless! Everyone present was speechless.
You said the Venerable One has already spoken, so you could just say something polite and leave. Was it really necessary to name names and target the Candle King to deliver the final blow?
This time, they've truly and utterly offended the ever-dominant Demon Candle King.
King Longjue had felt relieved after the Venerable One spoke, but he was surprised to find Zhou Ze so cunning, which made his heart jump again.
He was terrified that the Demon Candle King, this giant baby, might lose his temper and try to kill his apprentice on the spot.
The Demon Candle King clenched his fists, almost gritting his teeth, his body trembling. He had never suffered such humiliation before. How dare a mere cosmic-level being be so presumptuous in front of him?
"Admitting your mistakes is the quality of a true strong person!" Zhou Ze smiled again.
Everyone, including the other four kings, was speechless with astonishment, not daring to utter a sound.
He had seen daring people and people who courted death, but he had never seen anyone so daring or so reckless.
King Longjue felt like crying inside. "Sir, you're my lord, enough is enough! One more blow wasn't enough, you want to keep going!"
You know he's a giant baby, so why are you still arguing with him? Don't you see how much we spoil him?
