"King, this time our enemy is not just the Lord of the Yellow Sands."
```
```
Outside the King's Palace, a man holding a long spike half-knelt on the stone steps, his tone somber and grave, "The Lord of the Yellow Sands has an ally named the Drought Demon. Kui Si consulted the secret texts and found that this person is the Rigor Mortis Master, the King of the Corpse Demons."
```
```
"I know."
```
```
A reassuring voice emanated from the great hall.
```
```
"The Lord of the Yellow Sands is nearing collapse. If he fails to cross Loulan and erode the Central Plains again, he will disintegrate completely. This time, he will certainly exert all his strength, including this Madame Drought Demon."
```
```
"The High Priest, she has not returned."
```
```
The man spoke hesitantly.
```
```
"She won't be coming back."
```
```
