Kalina remained where she was.
Her head was still lowered respectfully, yet irritation slowly built up inside her heart.
She had already revealed her affiliation.
She had clearly stated that she belonged to Great Elder Runiye's faction and had come under the Shinayin Empire's mandate.
Yet the cloaked King in front of her neither answered her question nor allowed her people to retreat.
He simply stood there in silence for some to show that. The silence itself became pressure.
Seconds slowly passed.
No one dared to move.
The surviving members of the royal faction remained frozen on the battlefield. The Foundation Establishment Experts were still kneeling under the heavy pressure. The Spirit Gathering cultivators did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Kalina clenched her fists inside her sleeves.
'What is he waiting for?'
She could not understand. If this King belonged to another imperial faction, then he should at least identify himself.
