Chapter 1102: Night Banquet\'s Invitation

Zhang Lie frowned. He still didn\'t understand the king of chaos\' perspective and thoughts.

Nightdemon continued, "Of course, the death spirit king is also very interesting, but not half as much as the king of keys. Furthermore, the death spirit king\'s path has an end. You saw how he turned out too, didn\'t you?"

The death spirit king had sucked up so much world\'s energy that his body was on the verge of giving out, and he had ended up having to transform into a new death spirit king.

Nightdemon shrugged. "The death spirit king\'s path would only have made him a powerful madman, so I didn\'t object to the other kings\' plans of dealing with him."

Zhang Lie nodded. "To even entertain the notion of devouring the three thousand worlds is mad indeed."

Nightdemon agreed. "He was a madman from the beginning, and he became even more crazed by the end. From the start, he chose an inappropriate path."

Zhang Lie asked, "You didn\'t appear just to reminisce about the past, did you?"

Nightdemon asked, "Aren\'t you trying to find me?"

Zhang Lie shrugged. "As the strongest king of the third realm, the king of chaos, I\'m sure I wouldn\'t be able to find you if you wanted to hide from me. If you\'ve chosen to speak with me, there must be a reason for it."

Nightdemon laughed. "Oh, it looks like I\'ve lost the advantage, then. I should have remained hidden while you tried to search for me."

Zhang Lie emphasized, "Regardless of what you want from me, I need to know the king of keys\' location."

Nightdemon reiterated, "As I mentioned, the king of keys will be very difficult to get to. He swallowed up all the worlds he has jurisdiction over, and he wanders the three thousand worlds without a definite location."

"But you know where he is."

Nightdemon rolled his eyes. "And why would you think that?"

"Because you\'re the king of chaos! Whether or not you\'re the strongest of the superior kings remains to be seen, but you\'re surely the one who snoops on people the most. Otherwise, you wouldn\'t have so many clones."

"People-watching is my hobby, yes. That said, given your tone, it\'s as if you\'re doubting my title as the strongest king in the third realm."

Zhang Lie spread his arms. "Don\'t mind the details. Tell us where the king of keys is!"

Nightdemon nodded. "I do know where he is, but why should I tell you?"

"Why else did you show yourself?"

Nightdemon sighed. "Alright. The king of keys is straying from his path, and his newfound humanity is weighing him down. This isn\'t a path he should walk down, and I don\'t want him to go astray."

Zhang Lie asked, "So you want me to get rid of the king of keys?"

Yang Ze frowned. "To find someone to get rid of the king of keys just because he\'s not doing what you think is best..."

Yang Ze\'s thoughts made Zhang Lie ask, "Does that mean that, if I don\'t develop according to your whims, you\'ll find someone to get rid of me too?"

Was that why the king of chaos was considered the strongest king, because everyone else who would go against him had been destroyed?

Nightdemon shook his head. "No, I won\'t. I don\'t expect I\'ll be remaining in this realm for much longer."

Zhang Lie frowned. "What do you mean?"

Nightdemon replied, "Back to our previous topic of conversation. I do know where the king of keys is located, but why should I tell you?"

Zhang Lie clarified, "You can tell me where he is, but you need a reason for doing so?"

Yang Ze said, "Didn\'t you just propose a reason for yourself?"

Sun Xiaowu nudged Yang Ze. "He wants some benefits."

Sun Mengmeng asked, "We just stripped four superior worlds of their energy. Did you want a share of it?"

Nightdemon tossed a glowing orb of light, filled with concentrated superior world\'s energy, at the members of Team Zenith. They were shocked to discover that it contained ten superior worlds\' worth of energy.

"Here, a small gift for you all."

Nightdemon\'s attitude was clear: he had no interest in whatever paltry amount of superior world\'s energy Zhang Lie had collected.

To others, that superior world\'s energy might be a rare treasure, but to the king of chaos, it was more or less meaningless.

Zhang Lie frowned. "I don\'t know what I possess that might interest you, king of chaos."

The members of Team Zenith were likewise flummoxed.

Nightdemon handed Zhang Lie a black card.

Zhang Lie took the card, on which some text with a unique script was written. He didn\'t know what it meant, but the moment he picked up the card, a stream of chaotic information rushed into his head.

Zhang Lie couldn\'t help but frown. If he were an ordinary lifeform who wasn\'t yet at the level of a superior king, his brain would have collapsed under the bombardment of information, turning him into a madman. The sensation of this data filling his brain was somehow familiar, as though he had encountered it before.

Zhang Lie recalled that the sensation felt very much like when he had encountered the king of chaos for the first time, during the superior kings\' meeting. The band that seemed to play madness-inducing music around the king of chaos had a similar signature to this calling card.

That music was so disturbing that even a stone in the vicinity would grow feelers—and anyone who wasn\'t as strong as a superior king and held this card would likewise turn into a night growler.

Zhang Lie was very confused as to just what Nightdemon wanted. If it was to launch a sneak attack on Zhang Lie, this mental attack would be far from sufficient.

Before Zhang Lie could voice his concerns, the chaotic message in his mind resolved into five words: "Invitation to a Night Banquet".

Nightdemon bowed. "Every once in a while, I organize a banquet among the more interesting existences within the third realm. I hope you\'ll participate. The last few times, I invited the king of keys and his family, as well as a few interesting colleagues within his body. This time..."

Zhang Lie held up the card. "You want to invite me?"

Nightdemon shook his head slightly. "No, I want to invite all of you."

The members of Team Zenith cried out, "All of us?"

Nightdemon nodded. "That\'s right, all of you. I\'ve already prepared an invitation for each of you."
