Monarch Of Time

Chapter 248 - 248 Betrayal

Everyone was shocked when they heard Zhao Lanʼs words.

Although they knew that the Feng family hadnʼt allowed the ʼAlchemistsʼ Guildʼ to interfere, they had still expected Zhao Lan to fight for the Night star continent, even against the orders of the Feng family.

After all, he was a person who had been born and raised in the Night star continent as well, so how could he simply allow the Demon Emperor palace to take it over.

The golden-robed old man next to Zhao Lan didnʼt speak, but he also nodded his head, showing that he agreed with Zhao Lanʼs words.

When he saw this scene, Duan Zhu exploded in laughter as he looked at the 2 rank 3 gold grade alchemists and said

ʼʼHahahaha! Of course you wouldnʼt fight against me. After all, unlike them, you already know how strong the powers of the Central region really are!ʼʼ

The old woman from the ʼMercenariesʼ Associationʼ looked at Zhao Lan with a look of scorn in her eyes, before she turned her gaze towards Duan Zhu, as she spoke with a serious look

ʼʼHall master Duan, even without these 2 spineless worms, I can assure you that the 8 of us are more than sufficient to fight against you.

No matter how strong you are, donʼt tell me that you really believe, that you can fight against 8 peak rank 9 Dao Kings by yourself.

Perhaps you can show us how strong your Demon Emperor palaceʼs ʼBlood Palmʼ really is.ʼʼ

Duan Zhuʼs eyes narrowed when he heard the words of the elderly woman from the ʼMercenariesʼ Associationʼ.

A mocking look had appeared on his face as he stared at her, before he turned his attention towards the 2 women of the Dark elf race. as he then smiled and asked

ʼʼAre you going to come here or not?ʼʼ

Everyone else, including the old woman from the ʼMercenariesʼ Associationʼ, as well as Sheng Jun and his wife, had suddenly turned their attention to the 2 beautiful women of the dark elf race.

Under everyoneʼs shocked gazes, the 2 stunning women both smiled seductively at Duan Zhu, before they flew to his side.

A look of fear, as well as shock and disbelief, had covered the old womanʼs face, as she stared at the scene in front of her.

Even after opening her mouth a few times, the words that she wanted to say just wouldnʼt come out.

Surprisingly, the first person who spoke was Qiao Lifen, as she looked at the 2 women next to Duan Zhu and asked with an incredulous expression

ʼʼYi Huian, Yi Xiaosi, are you certain that you want to do this? If you betray us, not only will you become enemies with the entire Heavenʼs Dome city, but your dark elf race wonʼt be spared either.ʼʼ

The red-haired Yi Huian looked at Qiao Lifen with a derisive look in her eyes, as she then asked

ʼʼEnemies with the entire Heavenʼs Dome city? Do you think that your Shengtian dynasty is strong enough to declare something like that? And even if you were strong enough in the past, can you say the same now that lord Duan Zhu is here?ʼʼ

Qiao Lifen wanted to rebuke the beautiful red-haired dark elf, when she felt Sheng Junʼs hand holding her back.

It seemed as if Sheng Junʼs old eyes had just been enlightened, as he looked at the 2 women next to Duan Zhu, before he said in a calm voice

ʼʼIt seems that your dark elf race has been planning this for a long time.

This is probably the reason why you wanted us all to go to the ʼDragon Lordʼs villaʼ together and advance to its core region... since you were traitors all along.

I suppose that this also why you were against having the younger generation of our continent gather in the ʼHeavenʼs Dome cityʼ. After all, as long as one of them enters the Holy sect, then the Demon Emperor palace will not be able to act wildly here right?ʼʼ

Everyone was stunned when they heard Sheng Junʼs deduction.

DIdnʼt this mean that the Demon Emperor palace knew of all their plans from the start?

At the same time, cold sweat had formed on the other expertsʼ heads, when they thought of what would have happened if they had agreed to explore the core regions of the ʼDragon Lordʼs villaʼ together with the 2 women of the dark elf race.

With 2 traitors guarding their backs, who knew how many of them would have survived in that case.

As everyone turned their eyes to Yi Huian, the second beautiful dark elf, Yi Xiaosi, looked at the people around her with contempt, before her eyes were focused on Sheng Jun.

Looking at the old king of the Shengtian dynasty, she then said in a calm tone

ʼʼSheng Jun, you are the only one who is somewhat smart among these people.

However, the reason that we wanted you to go to the ʼDragon Lordʼs villaʼ wasnʼt to kill you. It was so you could scout the path ahead for lord Duan Zhu.

After all, even for lord Duan Zhu, traveling to the core region of the ʼDragon Lordʼs villaʼ will still hold some dangers. Itʼs indeed unfortunate that you refused in the end.

As for your second ʼdeductionʼ however, you are completely mistaken.

The reason that Huian was against gathering every strong, talented person in the Heavenʼs Dome city, is because it was a pointless thing to do.

No matter how many people gather, none of them will pass the Holy sectʼs test.

After all, in all these years, how many people from the Night star continent have survived and passed through the fourth test to become official disciples of the sect?ʼʼ

Ignoring the shocked looks on the Dao Kings faces, Duan Zhu looked at the elderly woman from the ʼMercenaries Associationʼ, and in a voice that oozed with confidence and arrogance he said

ʼʼYour name is Shao Wenqian or something isnʼt it? Do you still want to fight with me? Come then!ʼʼ
