According to his investigation, the situation was similar to what Xiatian had said. Clearly, the two of them had blocked many attacks for the secondary Overlord, which was why he had the chance to escape.
However, they were still ambushed in the end.
Moreover, according to the situation, there were at least ten Fifth Gear experts attacking the three of them at the same time. That was why they were in such a miserable state.
While saving their lives, the two of them could also buy time for the secondary Overlord to escape. Who wouldn't want such helpers?
Previously, the two of them had helped the secondary Overlord so much.
This time, the secondary Overlord had fallen. He could only blame himself for being too greedy.
The fifth Overlord understood that the secondary Overlord must have discovered something, which was why he attacked the Green Grass Sect. He must have wanted to take all the benefits for himself. If he had informed the fifth and sixth Overlord in advance, the five of them would have attacked together and wouldn't have been so miserable.
Therefore, he believed that the secondary Overlord's death was his own fault.
Although they were allies, they weren't true life and death brothers. Therefore, he was the one who benefited the most from the secondary Overlord's death. He could logically take over everything that the secondary Overlord had.
Of course, some methods were needed to achieve this.
However, in his opinion, the secondary Overlord's greatest wealth was the Fat and Thin Overlords.
Therefore, as long as he controlled the Fat and Thin Overlords, he could do better than the secondary Overlord.
"Misters, you've worked hard. I'll treat your injuries right now. Once your injuries are healed, we'll return to the Ghost Sect," said the Fifth Prince very politely. He understood that this was the best opportunity to recruit these two people.
"Sigh, the two of us couldn't even protect the secondary Overlord. How can we still have the face to go to the Ghost Sect?" Xiatian sighed deeply. He was obviously very depressed.
It was as if he had boasted a lot before, but none of it had been fulfilled.
"No, the two of you have done your best. No one can protect the two Sovereigns in such a battle. If the other side only had Xiatian and Feng Zhonghe, then I believe that the two Sovereigns wouldn't have any problems. However, so many experts suddenly appeared on the other side. Even if they couldn't hold on, it would be very normal. The two of you need to take a good rest. Moreover, there will be more important matters waiting for the two of you in the future. Besides, don't the two of you want to take revenge?"
The reason why Xiatian chose to continue hiding was because of the Fifth Royal Lord.
He understood that with the Sixth King's personality, it would be difficult for him to continue hiding. However, the Fifth King was different. The Fifth King was a coward who was afraid of trouble, greedy for life, and greedy for wealth. How could he miss such a good opportunity?
Hmm!
Xiatian nodded.
He didn't say anything.
Two days later.
Xiatian, Feng Zhonghe, and the Fifth King returned to Ghost Sect together.
After returning, the Fifth King directly reported that the second Sovereign was dead. He was killed by a sneak attack of ten Sovereigns. The fat and thin Sovereigns were seriously injured and needed to recuperate. The fat and thin Sovereigns almost died in order to buy time for the second Sovereign to escape.
This was the information he brought back.
The second Sovereign's meaning.
It directly shook the entire Ghost Sect.
During this period of time.
People from the Holy Gate died. People from the secret mountain cave died. Now, even people from Ghost Sect started to die. This shocked them.
However, the first thing the Fifth King did after returning was to send Xiatian and Feng Zhonghe back to the second Sovereign's residence. That's right, it was the second Sovereign's residence, and not his own residence.
After the second Sovereign died in battle, the entire residence could be said to be in a state of panic.
This was because all their current status was brought to them by the second Sovereign. Now that the second Sovereign was dead, their status would soon be taken away.
However, at this time, the second Sovereign's good friend directly suggested that the second Young Master should take over all the forces of the second Sovereign, with the fat and thin Sovereigns as support.
This immediately made everyone in the second Sovereign's residence feel very grateful to the Fifth King.
"This Fifth King is not so kind." Feng Zhonghe secretly said in his heart.
"In less than half a month, all the forces under the second Sovereign will be annexed by the Fifth King. Moreover, it will be a matter of course. No one will be able to find fault with it. This is called politics." Xiatian smiled faintly.
He had seen through all of this long ago.
"What do we need to do recently?" Feng Zhonghe Asked.
"Wait, wait until the Fifth King wants to use me. This place is very mysterious, and we can't act rashly. Although the two of us seem to have a good status, in fact, as long as we leave this courtyard, we will be targeted and suspected." Xiatian said.
"Alright, but it's really boring to wait like this. He isn't as straightforward as the second Sovereign. The second Sovereign will have a new idea every few days." Feng Zhonghe said.
"Therefore, the second Sovereign is dead. Although the Fifth King is a greedy person, he is also a coward. Therefore, he won't dare to do anything under normal circumstances. Even if he wants to do something, he will first ensure that he is safe before doing it." Xiatian had long seen through this person's character.
In these two days, the second Young Master came to see Xiatian every day.
He was very polite.
Obviously, he also knew that if he wanted to hold on to this position, he would need the support of Xiatian and the others.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that he wouldn't be able to hold on to this position for long.
Time passed little by little.
The Fifth King's actions were faster than Xiatian's expectations. On the eighth day, he completely took over all the forces of the second Sovereign. Of course, he didn't know about the forces of the Eldest Young Master and Eleventh outside.
However, he also took care of the second Sovereign. The second Sovereign's family members were properly taken care of by him. They lived a stable life and didn't have to worry about food and clothing. Of course, they didn't have any power at all.
Xiatian and Feng Zhonghe also continued to live here because this was now the Fifth King's territory.
Recently, the Fifth King had been treating Xiatian and Feng Zhonghe with the best treatment, but he didn't ask for their help.
"There's something strange about this Fifth Prince." Wind-in-the-Sea Crane frowned.
"It's alright, this is just a normal method, the two of us don't need to care too much about it. When he wants to use us, it will be a thunderous strike, and with two experts like us, it will be useful for him to keep us alive sooner or later. After all, no one knows if they will suddenly have more enemies." Xia said.
Just as the two of them were chatting, Xiatian sensed that someone was coming.
"Someone is coming," Xiatian said.
Feng Zhonghe also quickly returned to his courtyard.
The Fifth King.
The person who came was none other than the Fifth King.
"The Fifth King has graced us with your presence." Xiatian smiled.
Eh!
"I've been neglecting the two of you for the past two days. I've been dealing with some matters, but I'm here today to ask for your help," said the Fifth King.
"Oh?"
