Of course, Shen Teng and the others wouldn't choose to leave.
Shen Teng thought that Long Ao wouldn't be able to hold himself back and come out.
But what happened?
Nothing happened. Not to mention Long Ao, not even a strand of Long Ao's hair could be seen.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
They had mobilized three Titled World Kings and ten Starry Sky World Kings, but they still couldn't deal with Long Ao. This was a great humiliation to them.
The humiliation piled on top of each other. It was a tragedy.
Anger.
Shen Teng was like a volcano that could erupt at any time. He couldn't figure out what gave Long Ao the confidence to provoke him and his empire.
To say that Long Ao did not have a strong backer as a guarantee, even if he was beaten to death, he would not believe it.
"Something's not right."
Shen Teng thought of something and said coldly, "If there's a battle between the Heavenly Chord Sect and Long Ao, there's no way we didn't hear anything."
"Your Majesty, are you suspecting that the Heavenly Chord Sect and Long Ao are working together to deal with us?"
"Hmph."
Shen Teng knew that it was impossible for Long Ao to destroy the Heavenly Chord Sect without a sound even if he had the World Destroying Berserk Dragon.
Less than ten minutes had passed. No matter how fast Long Ao was, how could he be faster than them?
The only explanation was that the Heavenly Chord Sect had betrayed the Heaven Devouring Empire.
Although the Heavenly Chord Sect didn't belong to the Heaven Devouring Empire, everyone knew that they had to submit to the Heaven Devouring Empire. The Heavenly Chord Sect was no exception.
"Bring me Hao Chen and Hao Feng."
"Yes."
Hao Chen and Hao Feng were depressed. If they didn't agree to Long Ao's request, they would die. If they agreed to Long Ao's request, the Heaven Devouring Empire wouldn't let them off.
In the face of life and death, they would still choose Long Ao.
The only way was to find a way to go into hiding.
To be safe, Hao Chen and Hao Feng ordered all the core disciples to leave the Heaven Devouring Plane as quickly as possible.
They were smart enough to think that the most dangerous place was the safest place.
However, this move obviously didn't work.
Soon, the two of them were caught by Shen Zhuo and brought back to the Heaven Chord Sect.
"Your Majesty, we know we were wrong. Please let us go."
As they were the Territory Ancestors of the Starry Sky, they were the supreme existences in this vast universe. No matter where they went, they were always superior.
But now …
The two of them were like stray dogs, wagging their tails and begging the Heaven Devouring Empire to spare them.
"Tell me everything that happened in detail. Otherwise, I will kill all the core disciples of the Heaven Music Sect, no matter where they go. I won't leave a single one alive."
Leave no one alive.
If someone else had said this, the two of them might have doubted it.
Only Shen Teng's body began to tremble.
Chen Teng definitely had the strength to do so. No matter what, Chen Teng was the emperor of the Heaven Devouring Empire. With a single order from him, all the forces in the world would have to obey him. At that time, the core disciples of the sect would have nowhere to hide.
He sighed deeply in his heart.
The two of them cursed Long Ao fiercely in their hearts. Of all the people he could find, he just had to find them.
In front of them was Long Ao, and behind them was the Heaven Devouring Empire. They were stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Not daring to hide anything from Zhang Xuan, he recounted everything that had happened previously in detail.
"You mean to say that your mistake this time was caused by Long Ao's threats?"
Wasn't that the case?
Since they were going to die anyway, the two of them hardened their hearts. Hao Chen nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you're an ambitious person. There's no need for us to say more about your grand plans. I believe Your Majesty will make the decision."
"Impudent!"
Chen Teng waved his hand and stopped the angry Shen Zhuo. He smiled and said, "The two of you are talented. I have neglected you previously. Now, let me ask you. Are you willing to join my Heaven Devouring Empire and become elders?"
Ah?
Looking at Chen Teng, the two of them were dumbfounded. They didn't know what the emperor meant.
Under normal circumstances, Chen Teng should have killed the two of them. However, not only did Chen Teng not do anything, he even wanted them to join his empire. What was going on?
Was Chen Teng going to let bygones be bygones?
Although they hadn't interacted with Chen Teng before, they believed that no one would tolerate such a thing.
Hao Chen and Hao Feng glanced at each other. They didn't know what Chen Teng meant. Under such circumstances, should they agree or not?
"Are the two of you not willing to join?"
"We're willing. We're very willing. Thank you, Your Majesty." They were already lucky that they didn't die. There was no harm in joining the Heaven Devouring Empire.
Until now, the two of them still couldn't figure out why Chen Teng would do this.
Right now, the two of them were like meat on a chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.
"Do you know that Long Ao is currently in the Heaven Chord Sect? It's just that we can't lock onto his location. I heard that your Heaven Chord Sect has a super formation. I wonder if you can activate it?"
So that was the case.
The two of them weren't fools. They instantly understood why Chen Teng didn't kill them and allowed them to enter his empire. It wasn't because he was soft-hearted, but because of their sect's formation.
Since things had already developed to this point, how could they not activate the formation?
Since things had already developed to this point, they could only blame themselves.
Hao Chen said, "Your Majesty, although the Heaven Chord Formation is incomparably powerful, it's still unknown if it can lock onto Long Ao's location."
Hao Chen wasn't completely confident in this point.
If it was anyone else, they would definitely be able to lock onto Long Ao's location. Only a madman like Long Ao could escape from the seal of three Titled World Kings. Could they lock onto his location?
"If you can lock onto Long Ao's location, you will be heavily rewarded. If you can't …" Chen Teng didn't continue because the meaning of his words was clear.
Hao Chen and Hao Feng knew what Chen Teng meant. They cursed in their hearts. They had seen shameless people before, but they had never seen someone as shameless as Chen Teng. However, the two of them couldn't do anything about it. After all, Chen Teng's strength and status were too high.
The two of them didn't say anything else and slowly retreated.
The matter of the Heavenly Chord Sect had already spread throughout the Heaven Devouring Plane. Everyone had thought that Shen Teng would kill Hao Chen and Huang Xiaolong. Who would have thought that not only did Shen Teng not kill them, but he even allowed them to join the Heaven Devouring Empire?
What exactly happened?
Could it be that traitors were popular now? Many people couldn't figure it out. They were all shocked by Chen Teng and the Heaven Devouring Empire's decision. They didn't know if the Heaven Devouring Empire had taken the wrong medicine.
