“Zhang Tian, no wonder you insisted that Jiang Chen should come with us into the Demon City.”
Everyone hated traitors, especially when the traitor was a guy they all knew like Zhang Tian.
“Didn’t all of your coldness and silence help me with that?”
Now that Zhang Tian had decided to expose himself, he was mentally ready for all the accusations and blame that he was going to receive. He seemed quite calm.
His words made many people lower their heads in shame.
When Zhang Tian had accused Jiang Chen, all of them sort of believed his accusations, and, just in case they were true, they’d all agreed that Jiang Chen’s true body should come in.
“Besides, if I hadn’t asked Jiang Chen to come, wouldn’t all of you be dead by now?” Zhang Tian added.
Standing next to him, Mind Demon sneered, “You are pretty sure of yourself, aren’t you?”
If Jiang Chen hadn’t come, her third elder brother and second elder brother would still be alive.
“If he hadn’t come in the first place, you would’ve been able to kill more people, but that would’ve been all you’d have been able to do. If he’d learned about what was going on in the Demon City while he was outside, when he’d come in, it would’ve been a real disaster for us.” Zhang Tian attempted to persuade Mind Demon. He wasn’t a match for these two Great Demon Kings, otherwise he’d have liked to say something snotty.
“You Demons are apparently incapable of dealing with a Martial Arts Saint at the preliminary stage. That’s not my fault.” Rolling his eyes, Zhang Tian murmured to himself.
“Stop.” Mad Demon wanted to stop the meaningless arguing. He rushed at Jiang Chen before anyone else did.
The battle was on again.
Mad Demon and Mind Demon collaborated to target Jian Wuji and the others.
Jiang Chen certainly wouldn’t let the two Great Demon Kings do whatever they wanted. He confronted them instead.
“Jiang Chen!” But at that moment Zhang Tian decided to attack also.
It was chaos. Everyone was looking for a rival that they were certain of killing so that a victory would come more easily.
“Soul Exchange Method!”
Mind Demon seized on an opportunity. Her Demon energy turned into a fragrant fog spreading over toward Jiang Chen and the others.
Although Jiang Chen used his Sacred Flame to burn off the fragrant fog as quickly as he could, when he and the others had seen who was in front of them, they couldn’t help but turn pale. Zhang Tian was standing in front of Jiang Chen.
Jian Wuji and the others were being held back by Mad Demon and Mind Demon.
The battlefield was split in two.
“Have you gotten the feeling from dealing with Demons that you are capable of anything?” Zhang Tian smiled a hideous leer. His voice was super-cold. “Let me show you how weak you really are.”
“A Sword of Breeze!”
Then he launched an attack.
Zhang Tian after all was a titled martial arts practitioner. His attack was charged with massive strength.
Jiang Chen felt much more pressured than he’d felt when dealing with the Great Demon Kings.
His Sacred Flame and Holy Thunder could still work, but they couldn’t restrict Zhang Tian. The disadvantages of his state were readily apparent.
Jiang Chen made a quick decision. He exerted the Great Method of Void to leave the battlefield.
“You want to escape? It’s easy to enter the Demon City, but not so easy to leave.”
Zhang Tian wasn’t in a hurry. He looked around and launched another attack as soon as he saw Jiang Chen show up again.
As he’d said, the dark clouds over the Demon City were like an impenetrable cover. If Jiang Chen forced himself to charge through them, he’d be badly hurt.
Actually, Jiang Chen knew this. He’d never thought about leaving the Demon City. Instead, he threw the city center a resolute look.
Zhang Tian was extremely surprised when he realized what Jiang Chen’s plan was. “This can’t be true.” He just couldn’t believe it.
Jiang Chen was heading for the Demon Mountain!
He’d started to charge down, intending to reach the inside of the mountain from the entrance on the street. As to what was in the mountain, Zhang Tian only had a general idea.
And he wasn’t sure whether going in there would put his life at risk.
He would absolutely never have gone in if not for his private grudges with Jiang Chen.
Seeing Jiang Chen enter the Demon Mountain, Zhang Tian didn’t have time to hesitate. He followed Jiang Chen inside.
Jiang Chen looked behind him and saw Zhang Tian following. He smiled.
This Zhang Tian was really persistent. He’d expected the Demon Mountain to scare Zhang Tian off.
He’d gone into the Demon Mountain simply because he didn’t have any other options.
He had to wait until this day passed. Then he’d be able to create another two practicing bodies to help him resist this titled martial arts practitioner.
Even so, the odds weren’t in his favor.
The Demon Mountain was more like a mine. The pits that extended in all directions were a labyrinth. The deeper he went in, the richer the Demon energy was. It was so rich that it was almost suffocating.
“You are a titled martial arts practitioner. You’ll become a Venerable Sovereign sooner or later. Then you’ll be a big shot as well. Why are you willing to work for the Nether World School?”
Jiang Chen was faster. He took advantage of this to disturb his rival with words. “Is it only because I frustrated you?”
“Don’t put feathers in your cap.” Zhang Tian was so irritated by Jiang Chen’s remark that he burst out laughing.
“Titled martial arts practitioner, so what? People with this title were regarded as very promising a few years ago. But now? It’s those with the Sovereign Souls who get the real attention. 500 Sovereign Souls! 500 blessed ones! But why wasn’t I chosen to be one of them?”
Zhang Tian confided the real reason for his betrayal. It was because he couldn’t accept his fate.
Jiang Chen was speechless.
Almost no one in the Black Yellow Great World would’ve been able to achieve what Zhang Tian had achieved, even if they’d spent their entire lives pursuing it.
However, he’d chosen an outlaw path only because some of his thunder had been stolen.
It seemed incredible.
If Zhang Tian hadn’t been staying in the Realm of Divine Martial Arts and had traveled to any other plane’s world, he would’ve been in a high position and been treated like a sovereign.
“Reincarnators of Sovereign Souls aren’t the most important. The really important thing is the knowledge and memory of their Sovereign Souls. Didn’t you notice that none of the current Venerable Sovereigns are reincarnators of Sovereign Souls?” Jiang Chen asked him.
TUT! TUT! TUT! “Reincarnators of Sovereign Souls only need to wait a little bit. When they become Venerable Sovereigns, it will be they who dominate the world.”
Apparently, Zhang Tian couldn’t be persuaded easily, especially when it was Jiang Chen who was trying to persuade him.
All of a sudden, Jiang Chen realized why Zhang Tian had always been so persistent about killing him.
In the Ling Long Celestial Palace, Xiao Nuo had replaced him with Jiang Chen. Given his character, it must’ve been a big blow for Zhang Tian.
“Is that the reason that you joined the Nether World School?” Jiang Chen asked.
“You’re just a mediocre man. You certainly can’t relate to me,” Zhang Tian said disdainfully.
Jiang Chen smiled. He stopped arguing and exerted the Great Method of Void once again.
…..
At the same time, those in the Three Middle Realms watched a wonder in the sky with great surprise.
It looked as if a star was approaching them, but, after a closer look, it looked similar to a blood moon.
The blood moon moved slowly. It eventually let out a noise that sounded like the grinding of gears.
This meant that the Alien Battlefield had moved the Three Middle Realms.
The Alien Battlefield was like a wheel rolling along the Nine Realms. During this process, the channels connecting them would be docked one after another. Now those in the Three Lower Realms were relieved, and those in the Three Middle Realms tensed up.
Meng Po from the Nether World School even fought her way out of the Realm of True Force to the Three Middle Realms. Even though she was covered in blood, she didn’t look any less ferocious.
No one had the nerve to underestimate this old lady. After one day and one night’s fighting, she’d already killed two Venerable Sovereigns.
When the allied forces were at their wit’s end, some exciting news arrived: The Monster and the Dragon had come!
