Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 475 - 457: Alliance Breakdown (Part Two)

The Netherworld World colluding with Myriad Demons Country, is that even possible? This thought flashed through the minds of those around for an instant. The Netherworld World has always been quite low-profile among the Six Great Divine Nations, and they have maintained a neutral stance. They had never had any conspicuous contact with Myriad Demons Country, so this thought was immediately dismissed by everyone. But upon closer consideration, they realized that it wasn't entirely implausible.

As the saying goes, you can't see a person's heart behind their face, and human hearts are the most unpredictable things in the world. After tens of thousands of years of tranquility, who knows if Yue Huangquan might have secretly harbored grand ambitions. Especially considering the Sky-Patrolling Realm trials, which had witnessed several major battles from start to finish, yet the Netherworld World had not lost a single person, maintaining a full squad of 36. In the brutal Sky-Patrolling Realm, this was a rather incredible situation.

Moreover, if Old Wang really was an undercover agent, given his status in the Netherworld World, if even he was an undercover agent, then who else in the Netherworld World could be trusted? Could it be that Yue Huangquan was blind to let an undercover agent from Myriad Demons Country enter the Sky-Patrolling Realm? The more one thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. But if the Netherworld World and Myriad Demons Country were indeed birds of a feather, then everything made sense. Netherworld and Myriad Demons covertly teamed up to exchange information, so during the Sky-Patrolling Realm trials, the Netherworld World remained unscathed, while Myriad Gods Hall and Genesis Divine Nation suffered heavy casualties. And on the other hand, the Ancient Primordial World existed in name only, with the Annihilation Demon Nation already eliminated.

As this idea slowly took hold in everyone's minds, the way they looked at Xi Zhao and Sun Wukong began to fill with vigilance. One may know a face but not a heart. The current six-party alliance had only formed out of mutual interest, and now that they realized the potential for such a significant threat within the alliance, cracks had already started to appear.

At this moment, Rogue Heart Sword Hero wore a look of absolute disbelief. Although he did not share as good a relationship with Old Wang as the Five Battle Generals did, they had served under Yue Huangquan for over a hundred thousand years, and the relationship between Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Old Wang could be considered a matter of life and death. Over these hundred thousand years, the Netherworld Five Battle Generals had made countless contributions to the Netherworld World, and Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Old Wang had often risked their lives for each other. If Guardian Star Sinker and Rogue Heart Sword Hero were seen as Yue Huangquan's left and right arms, then the Five Battle Generals were like Yue Huangquan's vital organs.

Rogue Heart Sword Hero could no longer recall how many merits the Five Battle Generals had accrued for the Netherworld World, or for Yue Huangquan. He only knew that whenever strong evil spirits appeared in the Netherworld World, it was the Five Battle Generals who led the troops to encircle and suppress them, with Old Wang always taking the lead in battle. But now Sun Wukong was telling him that Old Wang had betrayed the Netherworld World, how could Rogue Heart Sword Hero accept that?

"This is absolutely impossible, whatever you've seen must be a fake. Old Wang has been my brother for over a hundred thousand years, and he has been utterly loyal to Lord Yue Huangquan. How could he possibly betray us?" Compared to Rogue Heart Sword Hero's disbelief and inability to accept, Xi Zhao's response was much calmer.

"I know that at this stage, my Netherworld World indeed cannot shirk its responsibility. As to whether Old Wang is really an undercover agent, or why he became one, I can't provide a more detailed explanation to you all. But we need to resolve this, and the Sky-Patrolling Realm trials must continue. Regarding what happened to Genesis Divine Nation, I can only offer my apologies. Oh yes, and about the Ancient Primordial World, it was indeed me who secretly sent Evil Monarch and Zijing to attack your Primordial Palace, but at that time we were enemies, not allies so you can't blame me. After all, your Primordial Palace hasn't been lost."

Xi Zhao's words were quite assertive, and his attitude was that of someone ready to part ways if cooperation was not an option. Such a firm stance often comes with overwhelming power, and within the current six-party alliance, Myriad Gods Hall was down to just three people, Genesis Divine Nation had only twenty, Canglan River Realm was fairing better with no major losses, and the Ancient Primordial World was left with only a few. Only Netherworld World and Fangcun Spirit Realm remained unscathed.

Of course, they were unaware that of the fifteen Netherworld World individuals left behind, only Zijing, Evil Monarch, and Old Wang remained. In terms of numbers, the Netherworld World no longer held any advantage, except for those in Dao Zhun's space without any extra combat power. However, Xi Zhao still seemed confident, not because of the numbers, but because of Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing, as well as the army of Ferocious Beasts. To contend with the Myriad Demons Country and the Underworld God Army, the army of Ferocious Beasts under Sun Wukong's command was indispensable.

"Is this the explanation given by the Demon Monarch?" Jue Luan's eyes were slightly closed as he spoke with an icy tone. Xi Zhao nodded indifferently: "Yes, I can tell you very clearly that even without your help, our Netherworld can defeat Myriad Demons Country. So I don't think there's any need to explain anything to you."

Before Jue Luan could continue speaking, leaning against a big tree, someone spoke up, "Xi Zhao, I think you're no longer in a position to represent our Netherworld World. I just want to tell you that when I fought with Ling Weiyang, I've already seen his weapons." As soon as Sun Wukong said this, Xi Zhao's figure stiffened slightly, and then he looked at Sun Wukong with a complex gaze, wanting to say something, but in the end, chose to remain silent.

Taking a deep breath, Xi Zhao stood up and said, "All matters and decisions of the Netherworld are now in the hands of the Sword Hero. As for the next actions, I have no opinions. Sun Wukong, come with me; I have something to tell you." The latter half of Xi Zhao's words were directed at Sun Wukong with his gaze. As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Zhao got up and walked to the other side. No sooner had Xi Zhao finished his words, than a sharp light suddenly flashed in Dao Zhun's eyes, which held a look of utter understanding.

Just as Dao Zhun was about to stand up and follow, Sun Wukong suddenly blocked his path. Bowing deeply to Dao Zhun, he respectfully said, "Honored master, I have taken it to heart. Your presence is needed here to oversee the grand scheme of things. My friends, the Netherworld World harbors no ill will." Having said this, Sun Wukong immediately turned and walked towards where Xi Zhao had gone.

The two ran for nearly a thousand li before stopping at the foot of a mountain scattered with chaotic rocks. Xi Zhao was in the front, and Sun Wukong was behind. When they landed, it happened that Xi Zhao was facing away from Sun Wukong. "Turning your back to me like this, aren't you afraid I might strike you down?" said Sun Wukong in a low voice as he slowly stepped forward.

Xi Zhao turned around, looked at Sun Wukong, and smiled wryly, "Truly worthy of being Sun Wukong; it seems you should have figured it all out by now." By this time, Sun Wukong had come to stand in front of Xi Zhao, and the two faced each other. Sun Wukong nodded and asked, "Xi Zhao, why did you do this?"

Xi Zhao smiled again and said, "There are many, many reasons. But since you already know, there's no point in hiding any longer. The undercover agent from the Myriad Demons Country — that's me!"

Sun Wukong was still glaring intensely at Xi Zhao and asked, "Aren't you afraid I might strike you down right now? Or that I will tell the others?" Xi Zhao, with a confident smile on his face, looking at Sun Wukong, said, "I understand you, Sun Wukong. You won't do that; otherwise, we wouldn't be in this situation now. Sun Wukong, do you consider me a brother?"

Sun Wukong seemed somewhat disheartened; he simply sat down cross-legged on the ground and said, "I did in the past, I do now, but as for the future, I don't know!"

"I have always considered you a brother as well, one of the few good brothers I have in this life. To tell the truth, I really didn't want things to turn out this way, but I had no choice. The burdens I carry are too many and too heavy — things you could never understand. So, if you hate me or even want to kill me in the future, I won't blame you!"

Having finished speaking, Xi Zhao too simply sat down on the ground. It seemed, at first glance, that the two were old friends who hadn't seen each other for years, casually chatting about inconsequential things.

"But you shouldn't have betrayed Yue Huangquan. Without him, both of us would still be mere Remnant Souls." Find adventures at novelbuddy

"Betrayal? Haha, Sun Wukong, you are mistaken; I haven't betrayed anyone. Honestly, given your current state in this Fang Universe, you won't survive for long. You see everything too simply; in this world, there's no such thing as betrayal, only whether the benefits given are enough or not. Just like now, you think I have betrayed the Netherworld, betrayed Yue Huangquan, but how could you know this isn't part of a deal?" (To be continued.
