"What?!"
The two armies faced each other, the decisive battle at hand. However, Xiao Chen said something that shocked everyone in the Kunlun Realm's camp.
"Xiao Chen, what did you say? The Thunder King already went to the Kunlun Road. It is impossible for him to appear."
This news deeply shocked the Myriad-Law Fiend Master. He thought that Xiao Chen was joking.
Xiao Chen asked indifferently, "Did you personally see him walk the Kunlun Road?"
"No …"
"Do you know who dealt the fatal blow to the Qing Emperor ten thousand years ago? It was him! Two thousand years ago, who dealt the fatal blow to the Thunder King? It was him! Why did the entire Kunlun Realm fall into chaos the moment he left? "
"Why? After the Qing Emperor died, the Treasure Master's Residence quickly rose up in the Heavenly Starry Ocean. I have never believed in coincidences. However, there are too many coincidences, which makes one suspicious. "
Xiao Chen's expression did not change at all as he calmly voiced his opinion.
"Xiao Chen, although I respect you as my brother, don't slander my master!" the Thunder and Lightning Palace's An Junxi said in dissatisfaction, not liking Xiao Chen speaking of his master like that.
The other experts on good terms with the Thunder King all spoke up, dissatisfied with Xiao Chen's words.
Such a scene surprised the eighteen Demon Monarchs. They smiled coldly as they watched the internal conflict in the Kunlun Realm's camp.
"Xiao Chen, this is just your guess. Without concrete evidence, you cannot casually convict the Thunder King." Ying Zongtian frowned slightly. Clearly, he was also dissatisfied with Xiao Chen's words.
The Thunder King's prestige was unexpectedly high. With just these words, the morale of the Kunlun Realm's camp fell into chaos.
Xiao Chen did not say anything. Many times, without evidence, it might not be the truth.
Although Xiao Chen could not see the other party's appearance with his Heavenly Eye, he could see the other party's eyes.
If it was just a guess before, after seeing the other party's gaze, Xiao Chen was deeply suspicious.
Although he had never seen the Thunder King's true body, he had seen the eyes of the Thunder King's clone during the King conferral ceremony.
Whether it was the real body or the avatar, a person's gaze was the shining point of their inner spirit. It had nothing to do with his physical body. His eyes could not lie.
The Treasure Lord's eyes were too similar to the Thunder King's. At that time, Xiao Chen's heart was somewhat shaken.
Later, when he tried to probe, he was not willing to believe that it was a coincidence, nor was he willing to accept this fact. But the result made him sad and tired.
The Divine Lightning Eye, which could severely injure a Prime, had no effect on the Treasure Master.
If he was not an expert at the peak of the Way of Thunder and Lightning, it would be impossible for him to achieve such a result. Just this point alone was enough to prove Xiao Chen's guess.
Not to mention, there were many coincidences before, which already explained the problem.
Ignoring the dissatisfaction and disbelief of the others, Xiao Chen continued to look at the Treasure Master. He asked sullenly, "Senior Thunder King, are you still going to continue deceiving me now? Perhaps this is the last time I address you as Senior, Lord Dark Church's Church Master! "
Silence …
The Treasure Master did not refute. This made everyone who doubted Xiao Chen turn their gazes to him.
Facing the many gazes, the Treasure Master, whose appearance remained shrouded in fog, making it impossible to see through him, said, "Why the need to seek the truth so bitterly? There are some things that are better not knowing than knowing."
"Boom!"
This was a bolt from the blue. The Treasure Master's words were equivalent to tacitly acknowledging Xiao Chen's guess. Many people could not accept this.
The Treasure Master felt dizzy. He had always respected the Thunder King, seeing him even more seriously than his father. The Thunder King was An Junxi's faith, his motivation to advance.
It was like the god in An Junxi's heart suddenly crumbled. An Junxi felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, dispirited and in incredible pain.
The people of the Thunder and Lightning Palace did not feel good, either. Their emotions were not much different from An Junxi's.
Ying Zongtian, the Myriad-Law Fiend Master, and the other old friends could not accept this, either, showing complicated expressions.
This was especially so for Ying Zongtian. He had a good personal relationship with the Thunder King. This was a rather big blow to him.
On the other hand, the eighteen Demon Monarchs calmed down after some shock. It did not matter who the Dark Church's Church Master was. It was sufficient as long as he could control the Dark Church. Xing Wang and Fa Wang did not feel surprised at all. It was like they had known this secret long ago.
"Treasure Master, don't lie to me. My master is absolutely not the Dark Church's Church Master!"
An Junxi roared with all his might, refusing to believe this fact.
"Whoosh!"
The hazy layer of black Qi on the Treasure Master's face vanished, revealing a face that resembled the Thunder King's.
The Treasure Master's facial features were exactly the same as the Thunder King's. Even his aura was the same; there was no difference at all.
"It really is the Thunder King!"
At this moment, the Treasure Master's identity was verified. This dealt a heavy blow to everyone in the Kunlun Realm's camp.
Everyone had a question in their hearts. Why?!
Just as everyone was feeling bewildered, an ugly saber scar suddenly appeared on the right side of the Thunder King's face. The Thunder King's entire aura suddenly changed, surging with a sinister aura. It was terrifying and horrifying, putting immense pressure on everyone.
The Thunder King touched the saber scar on his face with his right hand. As he looked at Xiao Chen, intense hatred flashed in his eyes. He said sullenly, "This is something that your Qing Emperor ancestor left for me ten thousand years ago. Even if I do my best to suppress it, I can only hide this saber scar for three days. Today, I will return the pain and torture that this saber strike brought me to you tenfold — a hundredfold! "
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. This saber strike should have come from when the Qing Emperor sneak-attacked the Qing Emperor back then.
No wonder it could not be removed. It was very easy for a regular Emperor Wu to remove a scar. However, if this saber strike came from the Qing Emperor, then it would be a different story.
The scar had already penetrated deep into the marrow, blood, and even the soul. Even if the other party did his best to suppress it, he could only hide it for three days.
Suppressing it like that should be something that exhausted the mind. Hence, when the other party was still the Thunder King, he spent most of his time in closed-door cultivation. Now that Xiao Chen thought about it, concealing it must have been an extremely painful and troublesome thing. That was why the other party's hatred for the Qing Emperor ran so deep.
"Give me an answer. Why did you lie to me?!"
Ying Zongtian's heart turned cold. He simply could not stand the feeling of being lied to.
"Why did you lie to me? Do you think that I can live for more than ten thousand years without a reason and still not die? You are the one who cannot figure it out. Ying Zongtian, I have never lied to you. I am the Thunder King, the Treasure Master, and the Dark Church's Church Master. I have never lied to anyone.
"Like you, I hope that Xiao Chen can mature. Otherwise, how could he turn the Kunlun Realm upside down? In the battle to advance to Martial Emperor, blood dyed the sky red, causing half of the Kunlun Realm's Emperor Wu to die. You and him are both my pawns. Furthermore, you are both willing pawns. I have never lied to you.
"I also want to leave this damned abandoned land. I will not age or die. If you were me, back then, when the previous Dark Church's Church Master sought you out, you would have agreed to be his successor. "
It seemed like the Thunder King had held back these words for a long time. Now that he said them in one breath, he felt much more relaxed.
Many people were startled when they heard this. Unexpectedly, there was someone with such deep schemes. Xiao Chen's schemes were so broad that he toyed with all the people of the Kunlun Realm in the palm of his hand.
Ying Zongtian remained expressionless. His expression turned even colder as he shook his head and said, "Don't find excuses for yourself. Everyone has their own principles. You just fell for your own principles.
"The victor is king, and the loser is in the wrong. The so-called principles are meant to be trampled!"
The Thunder King swept his cold gaze over the people of the Kunlun Realm's camp. Then, he said, "On account of our past friendship, I'll give you all one more chance. As long as you are willing to surrender and believe in the Demonic God, I can show mercy!"
"Show mercy? Just use your filthy hands and draw your treasure sword. I, Xiao Chen, will never surrender to you. "
Xiao Chen frowned coldly, ignoring An Junyi.
"The Demonic Sect slaughtered my Kunlun Realm compatriots like pigs and dogs. You want me to surrender? Dream on!"
"Sorry, Master. This is the last time I will call you Master. I cannot agree to it this time!"
An Junxi's expression was even scarier than Ying Zongtian's. It hurt so much that he did not feel pain in his heart, only a chill and numbness spreading throughout his body.
"We will not surrender even to the death!"
"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good! Eighteen Demon Monarchs, heed my command. Kill everyone in the Kunlun Realm without mercy. I want to wash the Kunlun Mountain in blood!"
When the Treasure Master heard the many people swearing not to surrender, he laughed maniacally and gave the order to massacre.
Dao Might spread out from Xiao Chen's body. With a thought, a war banner appeared behind him.
As the war banner fluttered in the wind, Xiao Chen looked at the vast and boundless Demon army. Then, he said, "Protect the Kunlun Realm. Our family and friends are behind us. We absolutely cannot retreat. Kill!"
The final battle between the Kunlun Realm and the Demonic World began.
