âZhang Tian, no wonder you insisted that Jiang Chen should come with us into the Demon City.â
Everyone hated traitors, especially when the traitor was a guy they all knew like Zhang Tian.
âDidnât all of your coldness and silence help me with that?â
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, theyâd all agreed that Jiang Chenâs true body should come in.
âBesides, if I hadnât asked Jiang Chen to come, wouldnât all of you be dead by now?â Zhang Tian added.
Standing next to him, Mind Demon sneered, âYou are pretty sure of yourself, arenât you?â
If Jiang Chen hadnât come, her third elder brother and second elder brother would still be alive.
âIf he hadnât come in the first place, you wouldâve been able to kill more people, but that wouldâve been all youâd have been able to do. If heâd learned about what was going on in the Demon City while he was outside, when heâd come in, it wouldâve been a real disaster for us.â Zhang Tian attempted to persuade Mind Demon. He wasnât a match for these two Great Demon Kings, otherwise heâd have liked to say something snotty.
âYou Demons are apparently incapable of dealing with a Martial Arts Saint at the preliminary stage. Thatâs not my fault.â Rolling his eyes, Zhang Tian murmured to himself.
âStop.â 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 wouldnât let the two Great Demon Kings do whatever they wanted. He confronted them instead.
âJiang Chen!â 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.
âSoul Exchange Method!â
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 couldnât 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.
âHave you gotten the feeling from dealing with Demons that you are capable of anything?â Zhang Tian smiled a hideous leer. His voice was super-cold. âLet me show you how weak you really are.â
âA Sword of Breeze!â
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 heâd felt when dealing with the Great Demon Kings.
His Sacred Flame and Holy Thunder could still work, but they couldnât 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.
âYou want to escape? Itâs easy to enter the Demon City, but not so easy to leave.â
Zhang Tian wasnât in a hurry. He looked around and launched another attack as soon as he saw Jiang Chen show up again.
As heâd said, the dark clouds over the Demon City were like an impenetrable cover. If Jiang Chen forced himself to charge through them, heâd be badly hurt.
Actually, Jiang Chen knew this. Heâd 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 Chenâs plan was. âThis canât be true.â He just couldnât believe it.
Jiang Chen was heading for the Demon Mountain!
Heâd 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 wasnât 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 didnât 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. Heâd expected the Demon Mountain to scare Zhang Tian off.
Heâd gone into the Demon Mountain simply because he didnât have any other options.
He had to wait until this day passed. Then heâd be able to create another two practicing bodies to help him resist this titled martial arts practitioner.
Even so, the odds werenât 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.
âYou are a titled martial arts practitioner. Youâll become a Venerable Sovereign sooner or later. Then youâll be a big shot as well. Why are you willing to work for the Nether World School?â
Jiang Chen was faster. He took advantage of this to disturb his rival with words. âIs it only because I frustrated you?â
âDonât put feathers in your cap.â Zhang Tian was so irritated by Jiang Chenâs remark that he burst out laughing.
âTitled martial arts practitioner, so what? People with this title were regarded as very promising a few years ago. But now? Itâs those with the Sovereign Souls who get the real attention. 500 Sovereign Souls! 500 blessed ones! But why wasnât I chosen to be one of them?â
Zhang Tian confided the real reason for his betrayal. It was because he couldnât accept his fate.
Jiang Chen was speechless.
Almost no one in the Black Yellow Great World wouldâve been able to achieve what Zhang Tian had achieved, even if theyâd spent their entire lives pursuing it.
However, heâd chosen an outlaw path only because some of his thunder had been stolen.
It seemed incredible.
If Zhang Tian hadnât been staying in the Realm of Divine Martial Arts and had traveled to any other planeâs world, he wouldâve been in a high position and been treated like a sovereign.
âReincarnators of Sovereign Souls arenât the most important. The really important thing is the knowledge and memory of their Sovereign Souls. Didnât you notice that none of the current Venerable Sovereigns are reincarnators of Sovereign Souls?â Jiang Chen asked him.
TUT! TUT! TUT! âReincarnators of Sovereign Souls only need to wait a little bit. When they become Venerable Sovereigns, it will be they who dominate the world.â
Apparently, Zhang Tian couldnât 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 mustâve been a big blow for Zhang Tian.
âIs that the reason that you joined the Nether World School?â Jiang Chen asked.
âYouâre just a mediocre man. You certainly canât relate to me,â 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 didnât look any less ferocious.
No one had the nerve to underestimate this old lady. After one day and one nightâs fighting, sheâd already killed two Venerable Sovereigns.
When the allied forces were at their witâs end, some exciting news arrived: The Monster and the Dragon had come!
