248 Chapter 248

Hunn had finally voiced his approval of the title 'King,' and the proud Iron Cheetah Tribe had declared its support. Helian Zheng turned to the man and nodded, smiling.

The nine patriarchs sent out orders to their men to watch over Hongji Le and Luzan before following Helian Zheng away. The young King was scanning the valley for the missing face when Mudan Hua sidled up to him and whispered: "He's gone, fled."

When Helian Zheng frowned, Mudan Hua grasped his hand in warning: "Don't make a scene. Kereyid's has a solid reputation with the patriarchs and is well liked. I have no proof that he is a spy, and the signals I gave by Chang River were because I feared I would not make it. We'll talk later, first we must return to King's Court and then we can destroy him!"
