Hearing the voice coming from behind the throne followed by an unfamiliar person suddenly walking out from behind the king, both Hong Xuan and Sheng Mei tensed up. Even going as far as to grab their weapons after feeling the dense killing intent that now permeated the entire throne room.
Although they were still inside the throne room where such a thing was not permitted under normal circumstances, there was no way any of them cared about this with the sudden turn of events. Especially Hong Xuan who was closest to the throne and felt the most threatened by the sudden appearance of someone he had never seen before behind the king.
Not only that, but the sudden appearance of this person also made both of them understand that whatever had happened to the king that caused him to enter his current emotionless state where he was barely moving his head around to look at them from his throne should be related to this person.
