Upon hearing this, Zhou Niannian, following Jiang Fan's words, immediately returned to the tent to rest, and the others also fell asleep.
After Jiang Fan finished dealing with matters concerning Shadow, he finally managed to sleep soundly, as he had inspected the entire mountainous area and the towns and villages in the city while pursuing Shadow.
Meanwhile, the king on the other side, upon learning that Jiang Fan had been let go by Bala and the others, became extremely enraged and directly brought Bala to the palace.
"What is going on? Didn't you know he was an outsider? If we truly let them leave, and he tells the people of the world, what will happen to us here? Won't our place be thrown into chaos? Our seal door is already broken, what do you intend to do?"
Bala was quite embarrassed. He hadn't expected the news to spread so quickly to the king's ears, and now he had been brought back to the king.
Upon learning that Jiang Fan and his group had entered the magic sphere, the king was at the forefront of his mind.
Naturally, he found it incredibly unbelievable. After all, so many people he had sent had failed to unravel its mysteries, and they had only managed to find an opening through sheer manpower.
"Letting them enter was only to allow them to reclaim what rightfully belonged to them."
"This place and these things originally belonged to him. In the past, he had also helped me, but he had placed all these things in his carriage, which forced me to come here to search for them."
After Bala finished speaking, the king nodded slowly, then smiled and said to Bala.
"So what do we do now? All of us have paid the price for your petty schemes. Now, none of us might live for much longer. How will you take responsibility? Can you not bear this heavy burden of guilt with so many people?"
Bobby, facing him, shook his head frantically and said to the person in front of him.
"No, I can guarantee this."
"At the very least, I have created a substitute that can provide our world with long-term energy. As long as enough time has passed, I can create another box, and we can save a lot of expenses. What do you think?"
"Are you saying you can create a power source that rivals the Core?"
The king was incredibly incredulous as he looked at Bala. Finally, Bala slowly shook his head and said.
"Although I cannot create something as powerful as the Core, if it's merely for maintaining power, my manufactured product can survive for at least a hundred or two hundred years. For us, this problem is not a problem at all; I can recreate it anytime."
"Rest assured, Your Majesty. I will take responsibility for what I have done. I will not shirk my duties, and I can resolve it. However, these individuals do not belong to this world. If they are sent away, they probably won't return."
"I have already made an agreement with them. Once they leave, they cannot enter our world again unless there is something extremely important."
The king on one side had no other options, and he was skilled at deception. Upon hearing this, he simply nodded slowly, making Bala feel that everything was alright.
Bala breathed a sigh of relief and heard the king say seriously.
"For your safety, I will assign a bodyguard to accompany you. This way, no matter what happens, you will have someone to look out for you."
"Don't worry, my bodyguard will not interfere with any of your decisions. Since you can restore our power, that's wonderful."
However, Bala was not foolish. He naturally knew what the king was trying to do, but he had no power to resist, so he could only return to his home and stay there honestly.
"No need, I don't need any bodyguard to accompany me. After all, the few people currently in our world owe me a favor, and they won't easily attack me."
If they were to attack me, their hearts would suffer endless torment.
"After all, I have helped them so much, they wouldn't push me into the water. I may not have much confidence in others, but I have great confidence in them. They will surely put aside past grievances."
Upon hearing this, the king on the side nodded slightly.
"Alright then, since you say so yourself, I won't meddle any further. Handle this matter yourself. Remember to communicate well with them. If you can retrieve our Core, that would be the best. But if you cannot, I expect you to quickly go and fix it."
Bala dared not delay. He had to find Jiang Fan and explain the situation to them, otherwise, it would be a pipe dream for them to want to leave. No matter what, the king would never allow them to leave from here. And this so-called main entrance, the king knew more or less about it.
The king, under the guise of ensuring his safety, actually wanted to monitor him closely. Bala shook his head without hesitation.
As soon as these bodyguards discovered any trace of Jiang Fan and his group, they would immediately take control and capture Jiang Fan, and finally retrieve the Core from within.
This was his objective: to use Bala's identity to get close to Jiang Fan and the others.
At the same time, the bodyguards were aware of what the two bodyguards behind them were doing. If they were even slightly slow, they would be caught up by them.
"I don't need them to go back. They are useless to me. I don't need them."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely retrieve the Core. I will not disappoint you."
After saying this, the king merely smiled faintly. After watching Bala leave, he immediately gave a signal to his two subordinates to follow.
"You want to trick me? You wish! Do you have the ability? If I catch them, I will absolutely make them all die under my hands without hesitation."
If the king had not been blackmailed last time, he would never have let Jiang Fan go. This time, he was still holding a grudge, remembering it deeply.
At this moment, if Jiang Fan and his group were truly seen by them, he would not hesitate to send many people to capture Jiang Fan and his party.
