Once they confirmed everything, they left their hiding spot, setting out with a bold stance to hunt down other spirits.
In a grand palace nearby, a red spirit, having waited in vain for reports from its subordinates, finally erupted in fury.
"They dare to betray me!" Its wrath surged from the palace, sweeping outward in all directions.
The blue spirits outside trembled and knelt, terrified. The king had never shown such fury. They quickly shoved one of their own into the palace.
Under the king's sinister gaze, the blue spirit immediately collapsed to its knees in fear.
"My King, please give me your mercy! I have important news to report."
"Speak!" the red spirit's roar echoed through the hall, the sound rebounding off the walls and amplifying its imposing presence.
The blue spirit pressed its head to the floor. "I saw Lord Undine killed by a human cultivator, so I suspect that the other lords may have been killed as well. They wouldn't dare to betray you, My King."
