The man in black was none other than Qin Chen, who had unleashed the dark power.
Qin Chen was well-versed in dark power; he possessed the Dark Source within him, and had absorbed a portion of the primordial power from the Black Demon Ancestor Emperor, evolving into a transcendent origin that could deceive anyone.
In the void, Qin Chen stood proudly, dark energy surging around him, holding the Mysterious Rusty Sword, shrouded in dark aura, taking a step forward.
Buzz!
A sword qi shot into the sky, instantly piercing through the heavens and the stars, as if it intended to sever everything in existence.
"Have you allied with the Abyssal Manor?"
Hearing this, the distant path divine sovereign’s expression shifted to one of shock and anger as he looked at the Heiyu Ancestor Emperor.
"I... haven't."
The Heiyu Ancestor Emperor also appeared dazed.
When did this happen? How was I not aware?
"Hahaha, Brother Heiyu, you are truly diligent; at a time like this, you are still putting on an act. But it’s no longer necessary. Now that the three of us have joined forces, killing this distant path divine sovereign will be a piece of cake, won't it?"
Qin Chen sneered, stepping closer, as sword qi gathered around him, folding the void and making it impossible for anyone to discern the real from the illusory.
"I... acting?"
The Heiyu Ancestor Emperor was bewildered.
The distant path divine sovereign exclaimed in anger, "You deceitful Heiyu Ancestor Emperor, how dare you trick me? If you have already allied with the Abyssal Manor, then why did you deliberately team up with me to deal with the demon god of chaos earlier?"
The distant path divine sovereign found it incomprehensible.
After all, the demon god of chaos had nearly perished under the joint effort of him and the Heiyu Ancestor Emperor. If they were indeed acting, then the performance was far too convincing.
"Hahaha."
In response, the demon god of chaos laughed heartily, "Distant path divine sovereign, if I weren't a bit desolate, how could I lure you here? That valley is filled with gossip; some messages cannot be released yet."
"So you mean your target is not just me?" The distant path divine sovereign's expression turned to one of shock and anger.
At this moment, he suddenly understood that the reason they were doing this was not solely focused on him.
What would happen if the events here in the Abyssal Secret Realm were to reach the Southern Thirteen Star Domain? If the Tuoba Family learned that the Dark Clan and he had teamed up to hunt down the people from the Abyssal Manor, the Tuoba Family would undoubtedly trust the Dark Clan.
However, the Dark Clan was actually already collaborating with the Abyssal Manor. If a conflict arose between the Tuoba Family and the Abyssal Manor, and the Dark Clan suddenly turned against them...
"What a despicable Dark Clan."
The distant path divine sovereign’s expression was filled with anger.
No wonder the demon god of chaos had seemed uninjured despite being severely wounded before—this meant the earlier attacks from the Heiyu Ancestor Emperor against the demon god of chaos were likely just for show.
Moreover, the deaths of the Saint Void brothers should have been caused by the experts of the Dark Clan, aligning with the messages that the Saint Void brothers had conveyed before their death.
Even just now, the demon god of chaos was able to seize the opportunity so fortuitously, which was undoubtedly due to information transmitted by the Heiyu Ancestor Emperor.
Everything tied together perfectly.
The true traitor was the Heiyu Ancestor Emperor.
"Bastard."
At this moment, the distant path divine sovereign was filled with rage and the urge to tear the Heiyu Ancestor Emperor apart. His heart sank completely.
His icy gaze fixated on the Heiyu Ancestor Emperor, radiating boundless hatred.
However, the distant path divine sovereign did not make a move.
He understood very well that his immediate priority was to find a way to escape. Only by escaping could he have a chance.
The Heiyu Ancestor Emperor, under the cold gaze of the distant path divine sovereign, felt his heart plummet.
