Chapter 1176 1041 Traitor

Chapter 1176: Chapter 1041: Traitor! Chapter 1176: Chapter 1041: Traitor! “Wanxiang City… Has Wanxiang City truly… truly fallen?” Chao Lengchuan looked like he had lost his soul, staring from afar at the palace, now devoid of its flags.

The Elders and Holy Guards stood rooted to the spot, speechless for a long time.

One month ago, they escorted the enemy’s chief general, marching back to Wanxiang City in victorious steps.

But one month later, Wanxiang City no longer belonged to them, the sky darkened and the earth dimmed!

“What in the world… What in the world happened?” Master Li equally widened his eyes in shock.

As a Military Advisor, Master Li had been countering the plots of the Defector Girl for the past two years, collapsing many of her laid out pawns, allowing the Three Great Palaces to gain the upper hand.

But he had calculated everything except how this woman could snatch away Wanxiang City in just one month!

“It’s a long story, but we need to leave here now,” Ye Qingzi knew their situation was hopeless, as their power was definitively no match for the Soul Covenant.

“Leave? With Wanxiang City fallen, the other Elders, their families, and our families are all within the city. How can you ask us to leave!” Elder Kuang suddenly roared!

The sudden catastrophe rendered everyone a bit out of control, what made it worse was that they still had no idea how the city had fallen!

“What about Tu Zun, Madame, and the Elders?” Master Li urgently asked.

“The Madame and the other stronger Elders have all retreated to the Underground Holy Temple, guarding the Stone Gate. There’s no immediate danger for them, but the others…” Shen Yue’s voice broke off, her tears falling, clearly including her own family among the others!

“The Underground Holy Temple is the last refuge, with Formation Diagrams to resist the enemy, but it’s not at all sturdy!” the Holy Guard Leader exclaimed!

“The Energy Crystal Stones in the Underground Holy Temple can only last for two months at most,” Master Li said somberly.

“And my father…” Chao Lengchuan urgently asked.

Grand Elder Chao had long been stationed in Wanxiang City, his overall strength not much less than Chao Lengchuan’s, as almost all of his Soul Pets were Invincible Emperors!

Mentioning Grand Elder Chao, Ye Qingzi and the others fell silent, their eyelids drooping.

“What exactly happened!” Chao Lengchuan, seeing the three not speaking, asked sternly as his heart violently thudded.

“The Grand Elder was protecting everyone while retreating into the Underground Holy Temple when…” Ye Qingzi spoke in a very low voice.

Although Ye Qingzi didn’t finish her sentence, the Morning Crown Prince understood her words, and he felt as if struck by lightning, his soul shattered!

Grand Elder Chao had sacrificed himself! A terrible gloom immediately enveloped the hearts of the ten individuals!

What exactly happened!

What exactly happened in Wanxiang City, why is everything so sudden!

Where did the strong forces of the Three Great Palaces go, why did the Army’s forces not play any role!

“Morning Crown Prince, are you now interested in hearing the rest of what I didn’t say that day?” Xia Zhixian’s voice gradually emerged after an unknown silence.

Hearing his father’s death, Chao Lengchuan was already furious; he turned around, his eyes red, looking at Xia Zhixian who had predicted all of this!

At that moment, how could Chao Lengchuan still have the mood to listen to this woman’s words, the fall of Wanxiang City, and the death of his father had almost driven him to collapse!!!

Chao Lengchuan walked up to Xia Zhixian in a few steps, grasped her throat, and lifted her up, shouting wildly, “Shut your mouth, I will kill you now to avenge my father!!!”

Xia Zhixian remained unmoved by Chao Lengchuan’s irrational behavior, maintaining her smile.

Chao Lengchuan became even angrier, harshly throwing her to the ground, his eyes bloodshot as he ordered the Wanzhao Beast to kill Xia Zhixian!

“Morning Crown Prince, think carefully, you’re about to kill your other family members by your own hand,” Xia Zhixian said calmly, fearlessly facing the Wanzhao Beast.

“Kill her.” Chao Lengchuan was thoroughly enraged!

“Crown Prince, calm down,” at that moment Ye Qingzi appeared in front of Xia Zhixian, stopping Chao Lengchuan’s actions.

“You… why are you stopping me!” Chao Lengchuan was unable to control his emotions; how could he face his father if he didn’t kill this woman?

“Most of the others are fine, including your mother and younger sister, Iron-Fisted Dominator Yuan Sui has detained them all, planning to use them to compel the surrender of other divisions’ high-ranking officials of the Three Great Palaces in different cities. So, they should be safe for now,” Ye Qingzi explained.

After Ye Qingzi finished speaking, Xia Zhixian slowly stood up, straightened her robe, brushed off the dust, her tone turning slightly cold, “Morning Crown Prince, I appreciate such a strong person as you. I could have pardoned your other family members when I return to the Soul Covenant, but your rude behavior just now might make me hold a grudge, and accidentally pardon one less…”

Hearing this, Chao Lengchuan became even more furious; the veins on his face bulged one by one.

He clenched his fists tightly, his whole body trembling, his eyes seeming to spit fire.

Ye Qingzi glanced at Ye Wansheng, signaling him to prepare to stop Chao Lengchuan’s crazed behavior.

However, Chao Lengchuan just stood there without making any further moves, his eyes coldly and angrily fixed on Xia Zhixian.

“Very well, you have matured somewhat.” Xia Zhixian managed a forced smile and continued, “Rest assured, Her Highness the Empress is merciful and won’t let your family suffer any harm. But if you stubbornly resist, even her mercy can’t change the Alliance Master and the Iron-Fisted Dominator’s determination to unify The World and Wanxiang City.”

“Stop the pretense, all these schemes were orchestrated by that woman. You might as well be quiet, or I will use poison to seep into your gut, letting you experience the sensation of unstoppable insects crawling into your mouth and body every day,” said Ye Qingzi coldly.

“You dare!” Xia Zhixian huffed coldly.

“I have no family in your hands, and even if I did, if you dared to harm a single hair on them, I would make your future breaths cautious and fearful,” Ye Qingzi said.

Xia Zhixian glared back, her chest heaving with rage, but ultimately she didn’t speak again.

Spirit Masters can indeed save lives and heal, but they can also kill invisibly. Xia Zhixian had long heard that Ye Qingzi had revived many warriors from the Three Great Palaces who were supposed to die, and she might very well be the highest skilled in Spirit Arts. Angering this woman was indeed dangerous.

“Let’s leave here first, I will slowly tell you what happened this month,” Ye Qingzi told them.

Chao Lengchuan quickly regained his composure, casting one deep look at the city now devoid of its holy banners, he said to the others, “Let’s go.”

Everyone was just about to move when suddenly, not far away, a significantly long creature appeared, flying towards them!

It was a dragon serpent with nine pairs of wings, its massive size impressive, sweeping through the sky with such awe and deterrence that those on the ground couldn’t help but tremble!!

“A Nine-winged Dragon Serpent, that is…” Elder Kuang said, face full of shock, as he looked at the creature!

“It’s Li Hong, the former King of the World Realm, Li Hong!” Holy Guard Leader exclaimed joyfully!

The appearance of the most powerful individual from the Three Great Palaces was undoubtedly like a timely aid for the people who had just received terrible news!

Chao Lengchuan’s eyes filled with excitement, reflecting on when he first was in World City and received enlightenment from King Li Hong!

This towering figure was undoubtedly a strong one worthy of utmost respect to Chao Lengchuan!

Moreover, Chao Lengchuan had always revered Li Hong as a role model and a goal to surpass. Seeing this man appear now, a glimmer of warmth reignited in his heart of despair.

While Chao Lengchuan and the others rejoiced, Ye Qingzi, Ye Wansheng, and Shen Yue’s expressions all changed!

“Quick, leave!!” Ye Wansheng jumped onto the Starfield Devil Steed, and shouted loudly!

“What are you doing? He is Sir Li Hong, the soul of our Three Great Palaces!” Elder Kuang immediately protested.

“What soul? This guy is a traitor worse than pigs and dogs, Tu Zun Ke Yin was heavily wounded by him! He must have sensed that we have escaped and is now chasing us!!” Ye Wansheng cursed loudly!

Chao Lengchuan froze once again, his face a mask of astonishment as he looked at the man controlling the Nine-winged Dragon Serpent flying towards them!

The former King of the World Realm, the Master of the Soul Pet Palace, he had actually… actually betrayed!

A series of shocking news made Chao Lengchuan feel almost unstable on his feet!

…

“You better stay quietly in Wanxiang City until everything settles down, then you will naturally be pardoned. Playing such tricks is no different from digging your own grave,” a thunderous voice fell from the sky, the tone proud and indifferent!

“Li Hong, I am truly ashamed for your ancestors and descendants. A supposed king betraying his own camp!!” Ye Wansheng furiously raged.

“No need for more words, it could bring you deadly trouble,” Li Hong said indifferently.

“Uncle Li…” Chao Lengchuan raised his head, looking at the familiar man, questioning, “Did you really betray our Three Great Palaces?”

This man had always been his goal and target for surpassing since he was fifteen years old. Chao Lengchuan hoped he would deny it, telling him it was just a temporary compliance to save others!

“Oh, Lengchuan, you are here too…” Li Hong looked at the Morning Crown Prince, his expression changing slightly before he responded indifferently, “Betrayal? Hardly, just standing on the right side.”

Chao Lengchuan watched Li Hong, and upon hearing these words, he laughed bitterly…

Standing on the right side?

So betrayal could be spoken of so beautifully, so nonchalantly.

“You guys go ahead,” Chao Lengchuan finally spoke these few words.

Having said that, he took a step forward, looking up at the man he once revered, his gaze shifting from former fervour to now cold and angry!
