Chapter 1715 From Supporting Role to Mastermind?!
"You touched something you shouldn't have?"
Aura was taken aback and subconsciously looked at the two people behind Kil'jaeden.
They then discovered that the other party was not Prince Sargeras and Prince Scarlett at all, but Li Yun and Evelina, who had been fighting fiercely in Flower Willow Enting earlier!
Damn it!
Could Prince Sargeras still be in the ruins?
Aura's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as she stared blankly at Kil'jaeden, her voice trembling as she said:
"Where are Prince Sargeras and Prince Scarlett?"
"They don't seem to have come out of the endless forest yet..."
Kil'jaeden paused, as if only now realizing this, his expression quickly turning to surprise, and he said in a slightly exaggerated tone:
"I don't know... I thought His Highness would definitely get away, so I just ran away..."
"Didn't they catch up?"
"When I followed you out, Prince Sargeras was still standing in front of that armored statue," Lu Li suddenly said, adding casually.
"It seems that he is captivated by that thing."
"An armored statue?" Aura stared wide-eyed at Lu Li, her speech unconsciously quickening:
"What armored statue?"
"Wasn't it said that the ruins were just an empty shell? How come there are traps and mechanisms inside that could hold a prince-level demon?!"
“It was empty inside originally,” Evelina continued.
"But when we came here this time, we found strange noises coming from inside the ruins, and at the same time, they were constantly emitting fluctuations similar to the blessing of the Holy Lord."
"Upon entering, we discovered the armored statue that had suddenly appeared."
"Then Prince Sargeras came in and showed great interest in the statue, as did Prince Scarlett, who seemed quite enthusiastic..."
"And then they were attracted to that statue? They didn't even think of escaping with you until the Endless Forest collapsed and disappeared?" Aura felt dizzy and her mind was filled with disbelief.
This statement is far too weak!
Although he had previously harbored suspicions about Prince Sargeras's actions, feeling that his underlying motives might not be as simple as they appeared.
but now,
Things took an unexpected turn!
This was hard for Aura to accept for a while, and she even wondered if she had been under a mind-altering illusion without her knowledge.
“If Prince Sargeras and Prince Scarlett don’t end up leaving by other means, I think that’s how it will be,” Evelina nodded, speaking very seriously.
Aura then looked at the other two and found that they also nodded.
With his mind blank and almost unable to think, he subconsciously asked:
"Then what should we do next?"
The three people opposite exchanged glances, and finally Kil'jaeden spoke:
"What else can we do? With such a big incident, we naturally have to report it to the Demon King."
"You don't mean you're planning to keep this a secret forever?"
"Please, the Endless Forest has vanished! This can't be hidden any longer!!"
"Huh?" Aura snapped out of her daze and was momentarily confused.
What do you mean he still wants to keep it a secret?
He was just someone Sargeras forcibly dragged in to be a foil!
It was just to witness the empty shell of ruins that the prince-level demon had mentioned!
How did he suddenly become the mastermind after just one sentence from Kil'jaeden?!
"Let's not delay, let's set off immediately," Lu Li added from the side.
Both his expression and tone were extremely solemn.
"The disappearance of the Endless Forest is no small matter; it could even affect the stability of the Holy Domain!"
"If this leads to a major disaster, none of the four of us will escape responsibility!"
Aura: "?"
What did he do that he can't escape responsibility for?!
From beginning to end, he was just an observer!
Seeing that Kil'jaeden and his companions were about to take off and fly towards the central area, Aura finally couldn't help but shout:
"and many more!"
"You intend to report this to the Demon King like this?"
"Do you really think the Demon King will believe your story?!"
"What do you mean by 'believe it or not'? What are you talking about?" Kil'jaeden looked at Aura with a strange expression.
"We simply reported what happened in the ruins to the Demon King, that's all."
"Whether he believes it or not, the endless forest has already disappeared; this is an indisputable fact."
“This…” Aura was speechless.
Although he felt something was off, he couldn't really find fault with Kil'jaeden's words.
Could it be that the dramatic changes that happened earlier were just a coincidence?
A beautiful accident?
Aura's gaze darted back and forth across the three faces, trying to find some clues from the subtle changes in their expressions.
But what really bothered him was...
The three of them had identical strange expressions, and almost all of them were full of flaws!
From a certain perspective,
This can be considered flawless...
Nobody is on guard against him, Aura!
All his thoughts were clearly written on his face!
Aura felt that delaying any longer would be detrimental to her, so she simply got straight to the point:
"Do you know something?"
Kil'jaeden and the other two exchanged glances and shook their heads in unison.
Their movements were also highly synchronized.
“We know nothing,” Kil’jaeden said slowly, feigning recollection.
"But now that you mention it, I do think Prince Sargeras's recent behavior has been a bit strange..."
"He originally planned to explore the ruins on the border of the Great Wilderness with you after three cycles, but he suddenly asked me to call you here today and gave you a bottle of good stuff."
"Speaking of which, what exactly did Prince Sargeras give you? He did it all in such a mysterious way..."
At this point, Kil'jaeden's eyes revealed a greedy look, and he deliberately steered the conversation toward Aura's unexpected gain.
Aura felt a chill run down her spine, realizing she had been careless.
He was so preoccupied with suspecting these three guys that...
He forgot that he was only standing there because he had received a bribe!
He coughed hastily, trying to cover it up with his words:
"They're just two relatively rare insects. They are indeed precious, but they're not exactly something that can greatly enhance combat power."
however,
The obvious perfunctory response did not quell Kil'jaeden's curiosity.
Seeing that the other person's mouth was open and they wanted to ask more questions, Aura quickly added:
"Speaking of which, Prince Sargeras's behavior was also a bit strange when we were inspecting another ruin in the Great Wilderness."
"They seemed very urgent to me before, but after arriving at the entrance to the ruins, they only glanced at it before immediately asking me to come with them to the Endless Forest."
"And what else did they say, 'As long as we can confirm that the ruins are located in the Great Wilderness and not in the Endless Great Forest, that's enough'?"
