Ying Zongtian, Emperor Forsaken, The Fox King, and the Heaven Punishing Corpse God arrived at the same time.
They instantly deterred the restless twelve Demon Monarchs and the six Primes fighting the Cyclic Astral Lord, the Bright Moon Empress, and the Myriad-Law Fiend Master. They all stopped in regret.
The two sides met up and faced each other.
"Big Brother, you came at the right time," Xiao Chen thanked Ying Zongtian.
Ying Zongtian smiled helplessly and said, "We are still too late. We have been guarding against a sneak attack from the eighteen Demon Monarchs. Unexpectedly, the eighteen Demon Monarchs would use the Heavenly Starry Ocean as a breakthrough point and descend here. "
The four Primes guarded their respective races and dealt with the aftermath. Back then, during the storm in the Blue Dragon Palace, when the four Primes fought, their subordinates and friends fought even deeper battles because of their different stances.
The damage they caused was extremely great. It took more than two months to deal with the aftermath before everything stabilized.
At the same time, the four Primes feared that the Demons would take this opportunity to charge over. Hence, even though they found out about the chaotic situation in the Heavenly Starry Ocean, they did not rush over immediately.
After confirming that the eighteen Demon Monarchs arrived in the Heavenly Starry Ocean at the same time, they rushed over. That was not too late. At least, it gave Xiao Chen a chance to catch his breath.
Xiao Chen's recovery ability was startling. The four Primes could not defeat him in one go and wanted to continue attacking him. The twelve Demon Monarchs were already injured in the first place and would be exhausted to death.
"What's going on?"
The Heaven Punishing Corpse God asked in confusion when he saw the eighteen Demon Monarchs standing behind the Treasure Master.
The Myriad-Law Fiend Master sighed and said, "He is the Dark Church's Church Master. He has been hiding in the Heavenly Starry Ocean all this time. Today, he truly exposed himself."
Emperor Forsaken narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Treasure Master. "Your distinguished self really hid deeply. To think that you even managed to fool me."
The Treasure Master smiled leisurely and said indifferently, "I have fooled many people before. You are not the first, nor will you be the last."
"Humph! Very well. In that case, I will settle this debt today. Let's see how strong you, the Dark Church's Church Master, are. "
The last time Emperor Forsaken fought the Dark Church's Church Master, they only managed a draw. Today was the right time.
"Hahaha, you? You are still not a match for me. If not for me not wanting to expose my identity too early, I would have made it so that you would not be able to return last time. "The Treasure Master laughed loudly, not caring much about Emperor Forsaken.
"Arrogant!"
Emperor Forsaken was enraged. He stretched out his hand and circulated the boundless power of faith. His body released rings of divine light as a huge Deity Finger pointed at the Treasure Master.
"Impudent! How dare you disrespect the Sect Leader!"
Three figures flickered. The Celestial Demon Monarch, the Earth Demon Monarch, and the Ice Demon Monarch stood in front of the Treasure Master, each making a move to block Emperor Forsaken's finger.
Emperor Forsaken was slightly stunned. He did not expect his subordinate Demon Monarchs to be so loyal to the Treasure Master.
"I feel that the space here is fluctuating greatly. This place seems to have become the port of a teleportation array. There will be a continuous stream of demon experts coming here."
The Cyclic Astral Lord, who was extremely sensitive to spatial formations, suddenly said softly with a frown.
The Fox King continued, "Should we delay? The experts of the Deity Dao Union, the Bushin Palace, and the Fiend Domain will arrive soon. At that time, we can capture all these Demon Monarchs and the Treasure Master in one fell swoop."
Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat. This was gambling. If the experts of the Demonic World arrived early, their group would be in trouble.
On the other hand, if the reinforcements of the Kunlun Continent arrived, the Treasure Master's side would definitely be at a disadvantage.
However, could they afford to gamble now?
As Xiao Chen pondered, he suddenly discovered many gazes on him. It turned out that many Primes were waiting for him to make a decision.
"Xiao Chen, what is your decision?" Ying Zongtian asked, handing the decision to Xiao Chen.
"Let's retreat. I'm somewhat tired."
This was not physical fatigue but mental fatigue, the fatigue of learning some truth.
"Let's go!"
The seven Primes of the Kunlun Realm worked together with Xiao Chen, escorting Heaven Dragon Island as they retreated step by step. Without the Treasure Master's orders, the eighteen Demon Monarchs did not dare to give chase.
"Church Master, should we stop them? Xing Wang, Fa Wang, and the experts of the Demonic World will arrive soon," the Celestial Demon Monarch said angrily as he looked at Xiao Chen.
The Treasure Master shook his head and said, "There's no need. The Deity Dao Union, the Bushin Palace, and the Fiend Domain's army are all there to receive them. There's no rush. After the Demonic God is summoned, no one can save the Kunlun Realm. "
"Church Master is wise!"
The eighteen Demon Monarchs said with cupped-fist salutes. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they did not dare to show any disrespect to the Dark Church's Church Master, or rather, the Treasure Master, on the surface.
The worried hearts of the many Heavenly Star Island cultivators finally calmed down.
With the seven Primes protecting them, Heavenly Star Island quickly flew into the clouds, carrying the last flame of the Heavenly Starry Ocean and quickly heading for the Kunlun Continent.
With no one to disturb them, the operation of the formation became increasingly smoother. It flew along with the Blue Dragon Auspicious Cloud.
Ying Zongtian and the others followed behind unhurriedly, discussing something in soft voices.
Most of their words were rather pessimistic.
They discussed that the first thing to do after they returned was to move the ordinary people of the various races and the cultivators with lower cultivations to the back of Kunlun Mountain.
The Kunlun Mountain Range spanned nearly the entire Profound Domain. At that time, as long as Kunlun Mountain was not broken through, these ordinary people and cultivators would be fine.
As for the countless resources and cities facing the sea, they could only strategically give up on them.
The Treasure Master's next attack would definitely be the decisive battle. The seventeen Immortal statues would be repaired once more, and their strength might even increase.
At that time, it would be hard not to give up. Aside from Kunlun Mountain, the formations and cities of the other sects would find it hard to defend against the attacks of the Immortal statues.
Along the way, Xiao Chen remained rather silent, only quietly listening to the discussions of the crowd.
This was a rare opportunity. Under such a life-or-death situation, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign did not dare to have any other thoughts. Of course, Xiao Chen's deterrence was also a factor. Otherwise, it would be hard to say.
When Ying Zongtian noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Chen, he asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Chen? I did not hear you say anything along the way. Didn't we already save Heavenly Star Island?"
Xiao Chen remained silent for a while, not answering directly. He stopped and looked at the crowd. "Who do you think the Treasure Master is?"
"The Treasure Master is indeed the Treasure Master. However, he now has the identity of the Dark Church's Church Master," the Cyclic Astral Lord answered without even thinking.
The others could not understand Xiao Chen's question. Could it be that there was more to it than meets the eye?
The oldest of the group, the Myriad-Law Fiend Master, thought for a while before saying, "The Treasure Master's identity is mysterious, and his origins are a mystery. For as long as I can remember, the Treasure Master's Residence already existed in the Heavenly Starry Ocean and controlled the sea markets of the Heavenly Starry Ocean, which are those Immortal statues. "
"That is to say, the Treasure Master is just a title, like the master of a sect, passed down from generation to generation?" The Heaven Punishing Corpse God thought about it and felt that something was wrong.
Suddenly, Ying Zongtian thought of something. He said, "That's not right. In the past, everyone did not know that he was the Dark Church's Church Master. At that time, we could say that the title of the Treasure Master was passed down from generation to generation. However, now, no matter how we think about it, that is not right. "
That was right. If he were the Dark Church's Church Master, then he would have been living in the Deep Abyss Demonic World. It was impossible for him to appear in the Heavenly Starry Ocean and establish the Treasure Master's Residence without causing any commotion.
After all, the Dark Church's Church Master would definitely attract some attention when he came to the Kunlun Realm.
Suddenly, the Bright Moon Empress said, "The Treasure Master's Residence was established after the Demonic Calamity ten thousand years ago. My Bright Moon Palace had an old man from the same generation as the Qing Emperor. I asked her about it. Ten thousand years ago, the Immortal statues were still in the hands of different factions. After the Qing Emperor died, the Treasure Master's Residence rose up and merged with the other factions, gaining complete control of all the sea markets. "
After hearing what the Bright Moon Empress said, everyone thought about it carefully and felt a chill run down their spine.
Based on this speculation, the Treasure Master might very well be a person of the Kunlun Continent. Then, they thought about the Treasure Master's other identity. In other words, the Dark Church's Church Master was a person of the Kunlun Realm.
This was simply incredible. If that was true, how horrifying was this person?
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! "
Many sharp gazes looked at Xiao Chen. Emperor Forsaken said, "Xiao Chen, do you know the Treasure Master's true identity?"
