“Ha ha ha, you can forget about that.”
Linyuan Supreme laughed maniacally, not retreating in the slightest.
“Damn it, then don't blame this seat for being rude.”
Shihen Supreme shouted angrily, and with a hum, the stars in the sky began to spin wildly. A surge of overwhelming demonic energy coiled around, forming a heavy magic formation that blasted down towards Linyuan Supreme and Protector Xiu Yi below.
“Esteemed Sect Master.”
Protector Xiu Yi shouted in shock and anger. He didn’t understand why Linyuan Supreme hadn’t released anyone yet; if this continued, they would all die.
However, Linyuan Supreme gritted his teeth, remaining completely still.
Boom, boom, boom!
As the endless magic formation threatened to engulf them, suddenly, a violent rumbling sound came from the vast demon star, followed by the entire demon star formation shaking violently as if it was under unprecedented attack, and a tremendous force descended.
“Who is it?”
Shihen Supreme’s expression changed drastically as he turned around in haste.
“Shihen Supreme, weren’t you looking for this young master? Now this young master has arrived, are you surprised?”
A voice that resonated through heaven and earth echoed, and then a golden light enveloped the entire realm, with a loud bang, the force instantly tore apart the demon star formation that had surrounded Linyuan Supreme and the others, and two towering figures descended from within.
It was Qin Chen.
And Sikong Zhen stood respectfully behind him, like a servant.
“How come you...”
Seeing the newcomer, Elder Thousand Eyes was taken aback, rapidly shouting, “Lord Shihen, it’s him! This young man killed the prince and Lord Ancestor Wu Peak...”
Elder Thousand Eyes was screaming in despair, his face filled with disbelief.
Qin Chen and Sikong Zhen had clearly been hiding within Linyuan Supreme’s faction; how could they appear from the outside?
“Elder Thousand Eyes, so it was you who was the traitor?”
Qin Chen’s gaze turned icy as he stepped forward, and as he did, the endless demonic energy receded like a tide.
“My lord.”
Linyuan Supreme said excitedly, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. Boom, a powerful aura erupted from him, and his previously disheveled figure straightened as if he had instantly regained his strength.
“Linyuan Sect Master, you aren’t...”
“Gaggle, gaggle, gaggle!”
Elder Thousand Eyes let out a terrified sound, as if his throat was being choked; he couldn’t believe his eyes.
At this moment, Linyuan Supreme showed no signs of weakness, appearing as if he had suddenly returned to his peak.
Linyuan Supreme sneered and looked at Elder Thousand Eyes, “Didn’t I say I was severely injured? Elder Thousand Eyes, you overestimate yourself. You think you could hurt this seat? Too laughable. You didn’t know that I already suspected you of having issues; the so-called injury you caused was just a performance.”
“No, it’s impossible!”
Elder Thousand Eyes screamed hysterically.
Not only him, but Shihen Supreme was also enraged, while Protector Xiu Yi appeared dazed.
Because even he had no idea what was happening.
Linyuan Supreme turned toward Qin Chen, respectfully clasping his hands, “My lord is indeed wise. I didn't expect there to be such a traitor within my Linyuan Sacred Gate. Thank you, my lord, for eliminating the threat for us.”
“You’re not bad either; you haven’t disappointed my expectations.”
Qin Chen glanced at Linyuan Supreme and nodded slightly.
“You guys...” Elder Thousand Eyes was shocked and angry.
“Elder Thousand Eyes, are you surprised? Hmph, you probably didn’t know that everything you did was under my lord's arrangement, thinking you were so clever and secretive. How ridiculous.” Linyuan Supreme scoffed.
“How did you know?”
Elder Thousand Eyes shouted hysterically. He prided himself on conducting everything in secrecy and believed there were no flaws.
Linyuan Supreme looked at Qin Chen.
Qin Chen sneered, “It was very simple. From the moment this young master arrived outside Shihen Imperial Sect, I noticed something was off; the stronghold of Shihen Imperial Sect seemed to be prepared for our arrival.”
