Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 488: Subordinates Delivered to the Door

Chapter 488: Chapter 488: Subordinates Delivered to the Door

Ji Linghan’s brows were furrowed deeply; she wasn’t convinced.

Lately, her suspicions had grown because there were too many inexplicable aspects.

"When Yuan Zhen and Yuan Sheng mentioned the Azure Dragon Emperor, their demeanor didn’t seem as if they were talking about an outsider."

"This Azure Dragon Emperor has miraculous methods, always turning desperate situations into miracles, a trait reminiscent of Sect Leader Jiang."

Luo Yuan shook his head with a laugh, "Just as the saying goes, there’s always a sky beyond the sky; those blessed with immense fortune often have special means, which is quite normal."

Gan Ziyi chimed in, "Yeah, it can’t be that only our Sect Leader Jiang is capable of creating miracles in this world."

Ji Linghan shook her head, "What about the Grand Demon Assembly?"

"Although we didn’t participate, we understood the proceedings."

Looking at a few people, she spoke slowly, "Ao Yang, Yazi, Shangeng—those old acquaintances of ours all admitted defeat to the Azure Dragon Emperor without exception."

"Do you still think it’s a coincidence?"

Luo Yuan, Qin Chang, Tang Ru, and others all gaped. These details were indeed something they hadn’t deeply pondered over.

"Gasp, could it really be..."

Ji Linghan continued, "And this time, who is the Quasi-Emperor Yuanxu who reported the news—shouldn’t you all remember? He’s one of the Saints of Ten Thousand Realms who ascended back in the day."

"Aside from Sect Leader Jiang, I can’t think of anyone else they would follow so devotedly, even betraying the Immortal Realm’s camp!"

"And there’s one more crucial point!"

"What else?"

"The Three-Eyed Fierce Tiger King; he and the Azure Dragon Emperor are overly familiar!"

Speaking of this, Ji Linghan’s eyes held no hesitation anymore, but instead became extraordinarily certain.

Upon careful consideration, the group realized it truly seemed that way.

The Azure Dragon Emperor only returned to the Demon Realm recently; he shouldn’t have known the Three-Eyed Tiger before the Grand Demon Assembly.

Yet currently, the two seemed as if they had been close for many years, meeting daily.

"But..."

Luo Yuan bitterly spread his hands, "If that’s really the case, it indicates that the Three-Eyed Tiger, Yuanxu, Ao Yang, Xiao Kun—they all know Sect Leader Jiang’s identity."

"So why would he hide it from us at the Feixian Sect?"

"Yeah, we’re the ones closest to him!"

Ji Linghan gazed towards the distant crowd, speaking softly, "Without a doubt, Elder Mo Chen and Shan Tai, Wei Miao all know his identity."

"Even Junior Sister Yin Xuer isn’t an exception!"

"What?"

"How could this happen?"

"Are we isolated?"

Ji Linghan shook her head, "No, the Sect Leader’s care for us hasn’t changed; he still provides us with the best."

She tightened the Tier Nine Immortal Sword in her hand, which was a gift from the ’Azure Dragon Emperor.’

Currently, the only ones receiving so many free Immortal Artifacts and Treasures are disciples of the Feixian Sect.

The Tier Nine Immortal Sword she held was the most precious among them.

She just couldn’t understand... Why would Sect Leader Jiang do this? Could there be a hidden reason?

Brother Cheng was unaware that his identity was completely exposed, that any guise was now meaningless.

He continued playing the role of the Azure Dragon Emperor.

Suddenly dust rolled in from afar, filled with demon qi.

In moments, a powerful demon army appeared before everyone, brought by Qi Wang and the Five Great Monarchs.

Among them, the ones Brother Cheng could recognize were just the four Quasi-Emperors, Bai Qi, the Fox Bear Leopard Shark.

Seeing these four standing at the edges, he roughly guessed the identity of the newcomers.

"Yo! What brings you here, to cheer me on?"

Qi Wang didn’t understand what cheering meant but still swung the string of pearls around his neck with a smirk that didn’t reach his eyes.

"Lord of the Earth Department, you’ve committed a colossal crime; shouldn’t you return to the Demon Realm to plead guilty quickly?"

Brother Cheng was baffled.

Recently, he had been fighting on the frontline and hadn’t caused any damage to the Qilin Race.

"What crime did I commit?"

Behind him, a Peacock Quasi-Emperor shouted sternly, "You’ve slaughtered dozens of Quasi-Emperors of the Immortal Realm without authorization, severely disrupting the hard-won peace between the Immortal and Demon Realms..."

Before he could finish, Brother Cheng, showing a carefree grin, swiped a claw.

Though this Peacock Quasi-Emperor was also a Monarch, he couldn’t react in time in front of Brother Cheng.

Boom!

The massive demon body soared, shedding a large swath of colorful feathers like a mountain being hurled away.

Whew!

Dust filled the air on the ground, a giant crater appearing.

The facing Quasi-Emperors, Qi Wang, Bai Qi, and others were taken aback, as were Cang Ji, Mo Chen, and others.

Acting so abruptly without saying a word?

But weren’t they somewhat allies of the Demon Realm...

Wasn’t this a bit too radical?

"Cang Cheng, what are you doing!"

"How dare you!"

Qi Wang and three other Monarchs fumed with rage, and other Quasi-Emperor Demon Kings from the Qilin Camp showed hostility.

This troop’s number of Demon Kings was comparable to the Feixian Sect, with more Quasi-Emperors.

Instantly Cangqiong, Cang Ji, Ji Linghan, and others prepared for battle.

Even if Brother Cheng waged war against the Demon Realm, they would follow him without hesitation.

"I’m bold?"

Sect Leader Jiang slowly approached Qi Wang; the massive dragon head looked down on him with a somewhat mocking gaze.

"It seems you’ve forgotten your own identity."

"As monarchs, realm masters, and lords on the battlefield, you all are my subordinates."

"Who gave you the right to come here and accuse me?"

"Do you think you’re worthy?"

Qi Wang’s face changed, realizing something was amiss.

Indeed, nominally, he was under the jurisdiction of the Earth Department’s Lord.

But he had despised Brother Cheng for so long, dominated the left battlefield with most of his people, played emperor, and overlooked this arrangement.

"But the violation of the Immortal-Demon Agreement is an undeniable truth!"

Cang Ji flew over and loudly countered, "The Immortal Demon Mountain is the agreed battlefield; our battles have not escalated to the Immortal Emperor or Demon Emperor level, entirely within the agreement!"

"But you’ve killed too many; the Immortal Realm will surely be provoked..."

Brother Cheng impatiently waved his hand.

"Alright, alright, stop bringing up irrelevant things."

"I’m the Lord of the Earth Department; I have the final say. Now I command you all to accept my leadership and follow me to battle!"

This...

The monarchs and other realm masters and lords were stunned.

Weren’t we here to condemn him—how did it come to this?

The Crane Race Monarch just planned to disobey, "We will not..."

Qi Wang suddenly interrupted him.

"We agree; let’s set up camp!"

He gave Brother Cheng a deep glance and then genuinely led his troops to settle nearby.

In the Cultivation Realm, setting up camp didn’t mean tents; it meant setting up their palaces.

Watching the palaces rise from the ground, Cang Ji, Ao Yang, Mo Chen, and others frowned.

They all approached Sect Leader Jiang with advice.

"Great Emperor, they belong to the Qilin Camp; they’re bound not to be on our side."

"Far from being on the same side, their hostility towards us might be even greater than towards the Immortal Realm."

"Great Emperor, Qi Wang has managed the left battlefield for years; he might pretend to comply openly while secretly undermining you, making genuine command difficult."

"Indeed, those realm masters and lords behind him have always obeyed Qilin Race commands, never adhering to military orders."

"Having such a group of deceitful threats around is extremely unsafe!"
