"Where do you think you're going?"
Ancient Sage Yan Qing roared furiously as his halberd morphed into a streak of light.
Zhang Hongtian also dashed forward, morphing into a sharp sword as he chased after Sovereign Chen Yong.
Sword-Man Union!
Seeing that the attacks of the two experts had sealed the surrounding space, Sovereign Chen Yong could very well fall into the spatial turbulence if he tried to escape. Thus, he turned around and swung his saber down once more.
The two attacks clashed in midair, and the three experts spurted blood once more as they were sent flying.
After so many battles, he was at the end of his rope. The only reason he was able to hold on until now was because of his will.
"I'll make sure to exact my vengeance in the future!"
Enduring his injuries, Sovereign Chen Yong rose to his feet. At this moment, he seemed to have sensed something, and he could no longer be bothered with killing the duo anymore. Gritting his teeth, he tapped the saber in his hand lightly, and a pitch-black passageway appeared before him.
If Sovereign Chen Yong were to jump into the passageway, he would be like a fish in the ocean or a tiger in the mountains.
With gritted teeth, Ancient Sage Yan Qing brandished his halberd in an attempt to seal the passageway. However, the passageway that extended into the distance suddenly came to a halt. Sovereign Chen Yong, who had been on the verge of escaping, was unable to escape no matter how hard he tried.
"Sovereign Chen Yong, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Since an old friend is here, we should at least chat for a while."
Following that, a calm voice rang out. Then, two tall figures walked out from the depths of the void.
Similar to Sovereign Chen Yong, the two of them had crowns on their foreheads, and the killing intent they emanated was as dense as ink. Just looking at them would leave one feeling as if they had fallen into the depths of hell.
"Could they be the other two Sovereigns?"
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
Judging from their attire and the bloodline they emanated, it was clear that they were Sovereign Chen Ling and Sovereign Chen Xing, the ones who had intended to kill Sovereign Chen Yong!
He did not think that the other two Sovereigns would leave the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and come here personally!
Furthermore, from the looks of it, they had been hiding in the area for a long time, not daring to show themselves until the Spirit God had left!
"Since the Spirit God has learned of the truth, she won't let you off!"
Upon seeing the two Sovereigns, Sovereign Chen Yong could no longer hold himself back. He raised his beard and swung his saber down.
Huala!
The saber light tore through space. Although it was powerful, it was nothing before the two Martial Monarchs.
With a flick of his finger, Sovereign Chen Ling deflected the saber qi.
"Sovereign Chen Yong, there's no need to get agitated. We're just having a heart-to-heart talk. Besides, even if the Spirit God knows that we want to kill you … She's already returned to the Spirit God Palace, and it's too far for her to do anything! Besides … Gods don't have feelings. You can't possibly be naive enough to think that a dignified God will stand up for you, right? "
Sovereign Chen Ling's lips crept up as he looked at Zhang Xuan sympathetically. "She's only using your hands to find the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn. Do you really think that she's going to value you?"
"You …"
Knowing that it was impossible for him to escape with the two of them around, Sovereign Chen Yong calmed himself down and straightened his back. With an inviolable sharpness in his eyes, he said, "I have always treated you well, so why would you betray me?"
"Why would you betray us?"
Sovereign Chen Ling harrumphed coldly. "You are too obedient toward the new Spirit God! In the past, the Spirit God would bestow countless treasures upon us as long as we sacrificed a great teacher. What did she give us? On top of that, she even forbade us from attacking! If we don't attack her, are we supposed to let the millions of Spirit Tribe members guard that place forever? "
"How dare you defy the Spirit God's command?"
Sovereign Chen Yong frowned. He had thought that it was due to the dissatisfaction the Spirit God bore toward him.
He had thought that it was due to the dissatisfaction the Spirit God harbored toward him, but who could have known that the root of it all was the Spirit God?
The Spirit God had forbade them from attacking the Spirit God in order to prevent the Spirit Tribe from being harmed. It was also a form of protection for the Spirit Tribe. Yet, in Sovereign Chen Yong's words, it had become a shackle instead?
"Of course I wouldn't dare to defy the Spirit God's command, but if I kill you, I'll become the strongest Emperor of the Spirit Tribe. As long as I'm willing to, I'll be able to do whatever I want. Do you think that the Spirit God will descend to investigate the Spirit God once more? It's not that easy to traverse between dimensions. Even the gods would suffer an irresistible backlash. Otherwise, I wouldn't have spent half a year recuperating on the Master Teacher Continent! "
Sovereign Chen Ling sneered coldly. "Don't worry. After your death, I'll report to the Spirit God that you were killed by the Hundred Schools of Philosophers and Mingshi Tang. By the time I rushed over to save you, it was already too late. Before your death, she passed down the position of the strongest Emperor of the Spirit Tribe to me, allowing me to lead the entire Spirit Tribe. After that, I'll use your life to inspire the Spirit Tribe to exact vengeance on the Master Teacher Continent! "
"You …"
Sovereign Chen Yong's body swayed weakly.
What a scheming fellow! Everything was within his calculations!
He had been thinking that his subordinates would surely exact vengeance on him if he was killed, but from the looks of it now, not only would he be spared, he would even incur the wrath of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers and Mingshi Tang, thus satisfying his ambitions!
"Sovereign Chen Ling, don't you forget our promise!"
Hearing those words, Ancient Sage Yan Qing's face warped in horror.
He had thought that the death of Sovereign Chen Yong would deal a heavy blow to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, but who could have thought that the true warmonger of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe was Sovereign Chen Ling? If Sovereign Chen Yong were to die, the conflict between the Master Teacher Continent and the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe would only intensify.
"Don't worry, I'll abide by our promise. However, it's hard to say whether it'll be three hundred years or not … "
Sovereign Chen Ling sneered coldly.
If the Master Teacher Continent had obtained the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn, it would have been fine for them to hide for three hundred years. However, given that the Spirit God had taken away the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn, not only did the Ancient Sages of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers and Ancient Sage Mingshi Tang suffer severe injuries …
To them, this was their greatest opportunity!
"What do you mean by that?"
Ancient Sage Yan Qing narrowed his eyes as he raised his halberd.
The other Ancient Sages also gathered together, fearing that Sovereign Chen Ling would suddenly make a move.
Just a single Otherworldly Demon Emperor had nearly wiped out their entire army. If Sovereign Chen Ling were to make a move, they would be in grave danger once more.
"I don't mean anything by it. Since we're allies, I can't possibly make a move on you. Otherwise, I'll suffer a backlash from the vow as well … Don't worry, I'll discuss the future of our two races with you after I deal with him …"
Seeing the wary looks on Ancient Sage Yan Qing and the others, Sovereign Chen Ling knew that even though Sovereign Chen Ling was severely injured, he would still be able to drag him down with him if he went all out. Furthermore, what he needed to do at the moment was not to fall out with the Master Teacher Continent but to consolidate his authority.
Only by gaining full control of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe would he have the right to decide whether to continue fighting or to abide by the vow.
With these thoughts in mind, Sovereign Chen Ling turned to Sovereign Chen Yong with a smile.
"Sovereign Chen Yong, farewell!"
With a cold harrumph, Sovereign Chen Ling raised his palm and slammed it down.
It was as if the entire world had been flipped upside down. An overwhelming might shattered the surrounding space as it shot toward Sovereign Chen Yong.
