The Saint of the Western Yu froze, an inexplicable fear rising within him, as if he were being stared at by a cold, venomous snake.
He knew that his life and death were no longer in his own hands.
"Damnable Ink Cloud Ancient Wall, if it weren't for him, would I have fallen into such a predicament?" The Saint of the Western Yu gritted his teeth, filled with deep-seated hatred for the deceased Ink Cloud Ancient Wall.
He had no intention of getting involved in the matter of the Saint of the City Dragon, but unexpectedly, Ink Cloud Ancient Wall was dissatisfied with Qin Chen residing in Southern Origin City for so long. After all, Southern Origin City was his private territory; how could he allow others to sleep soundly on his tiger's bed? Moreover, he coveted the potential opportunities that might lie within Qin Chen, prompting him to instigate the Saint of the Western Yu.
And he, blinded by greed, had foolishly agreed to Ink Cloud Ancient Wall's instigation, which led him to this dire situation.
Reflecting on it now, the regret in his heart was insurmountable.
But he also understood that it was not the time for regret; seeking a glimmer of hope for survival was his most pressing concern.
"Brother Qin, my coming to Southern Origin City is not my own intention; it is that old scoundrel Ink Cloud Ancient Wall who used the friendship from years past to coerce me here. He wants me to act as a middleman to issue a mission to the Heaven Beyond Heaven Headquarters, attracting that chaos-level killer, Great Saint of the Peak. Everything is the doing of that old scoundrel Ink Cloud Ancient Wall; I have been deceived by him."
The Saint of the Western Yu quickly spoke: "I never expected that Ink Cloud Ancient Wall would be so cruel and despicable, treating the entire Southern Origin City as his own breeding ground. Such a brutal person has deceived many forces across the Southern Cosmic Sea for several eras. He truly deserves death. Now, Brother Qin, if you kill Ink Cloud Ancient Wall, it would be avenging Southern Origin City and the Southern Cosmic Sea, bringing back clarity to our realm."
The Saint of the Western Yu spoke with righteous indignation, his demeanor respectful, and a hint of humility in his booming voice, which instantly spread throughout Southern Origin City.
Such words left countless practitioners in Southern Origin City bewildered, feeling it was unbelievable.
As the second-in-command of the Black Dragon Society, a top dark force in the Southern Cosmic Sea, the Saint of the Western Yu actually spoke such righteous words, which was shocking and hard to bear.
At the same time, everyone's gaze fell upon the Great Saint of the Peak not far away, who had just been stripped of the heart of the great emperor, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
No wonder this killer's strength was so terrifying; he had reached the pinnacle great emperor realm, and it turned out he was a killer sent by the top killer force, Heaven Beyond Heaven.
The Southern Cosmic Sea did not have such top-tier killers.
It's a pity, he still fell into Lord Qin Chen's hands.
In the distance, where the Lord of the Sky Outside Tower, Guai Xin, was located.
Crash!
Many powerful figures who had originally been close to Guai Xin looked terrified and retreated, their gazes on Guai Xin like they were looking at a plague, not daring to have any connections.
Heaven Outside Tower, that was the force sent by Heaven Beyond Heaven across the various cosmic seas, wasn't it? It was wise to be cautious, as this killer might very well be connected to the Lord of the Sky Outside Tower, Guai Xin.
At just the right time, Guai Xin revealed a hint of fear, his body slightly trembling, displaying anxious and fearful emotions.
"Oh?" Qin Chen looked at the Saint of the Western Yu, a cold smile appearing on his face. "Are you saying that the earlier ambush on this emperor has nothing to do with you?"
Seeing the cold smile on Qin Chen's lips, the Saint of the Western Yu stiffened, repeatedly saying, "Brother Qin, you jest. This seat also recognizes that I made a grave mistake earlier and wishes to express my sincere intention to atone. Moreover, regarding the death of the Saint of the City Dragon, I will certainly inform the Pavilion Master that it was the City Dragon who sought his own death by coming to trouble Brother Qin, not the other way around."
