The headless knight remained silent.
The Hell Knight faced an incredibly difficult choice.
If Lanling was in danger and the Flame Demon Empire faced destruction, yet the Hell Knight did not intervene, what would be the point of loyalty? In the future, between the Demon Emperor and the Hell Knight, there would only be a cold contract, not a soul bond of life and death.
But if the Hell Knight intervened to help, it was undoubtedly a tragedy waiting to repeat itself.
More than three thousand years ago, Yao Xing's master was also a brilliant leader. To rescue him from his impending doom, the Hell Knight revealed itself prematurely to assist.
The result... one-third of the Thirteen Hell Knights were lost!
Yao Xing's master betrayed, choosing to become the Dragon Emperor, not the Demon Emperor.
