Shang had already expected something like this.
This was essentially the best-case scenario for him.
Lucin could have just killed him.
Lucin could have also just said that they would support him, but that would be worse than him asking his superior.
How was it worse?
Because the actual rise of a Warrior King would definitely need the approval of at least several Mage Kings, if not one of the Mage Emperors.
Lucin would have obviously known that.
So, the only reason why he wouldn't have asked his superior would be that he was certain that Shang would never become so powerful.
Which would be a bad thing for Shang.
Luckily, he decided to ask his superior.
This meant that Shang's chances were genuine.
The two of them continued traveling for nearly an hour, which was quite surprising to Shang.
