Beside the skeleton was a treasure sword, resplendent with jewels.
Normally, the more exquisitely and lavishly a longsword was crafted, the less practical it would be. The intricate carvings and inlaid gems alone would compromise the blade's structural integrity.
But the moment Shen Bai saw this sword, his eyes narrowed.
"This is a fine sword, even better than Cold Moon," Shen Bai said calmly. "Then is the skeleton sitting on the throne your father?"
Red Makeup nodded, a complicated expression on her face as she gazed at the skeleton.
"He is not one of the Mysterious," Shen Bai said.
Red Makeup nodded. "Correct. The Mysterious City is my father, and the skeleton before us is also my father. He is not one of the Mysterious."
"Then where is the Mysterious being?" Shen Bai asked.
Red Makeup gave a bitter smile. "Master, I don't know either. The current situation is completely beyond my expectations."
"I can see that."
Shen Bai scanned his surroundings.
