Chapter 1791: Unveiling the Truth

Translator: WQL  Editor: Aleem

Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu’s eyes shone out of shock. Closely after that, the two cunning guys looked surprised and furious.

“Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?” Xia Yangming goggled at Zhang Tie out of fury as if he had suffered great insult and grievance, saying, “I’m always loyal to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Your Majesty, are you doubting me as a member of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace?”

“Before Your Majesty became Dragon Emperor, there was some conflict between my disciple and Your Majesty. From then on, I have known that Your Majesty must have a preconception about me. Your Majesty, if you dislike me, just tell me that straightforwardly. I will leave the Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace voluntarily. Why do you put me on the spot…” Shi Zhongyu sighed with a distressed look and said, “Your Majesty, if you’re cracking a joke, you’ve gone too far. Your Majesty, do you know how big trouble would your words arouse if it was exposed to the public?”

The other elders looked at Zhang Tie, then Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu. Closely after that, they all became confused as they didn’t know whom to believe.

Even elders were perplexed, not to mention those departments. At the same time, smart ones among them realized that Tang Shenghou and Huo Xianlai might also have a problem if Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu belonged to Dark Emperor Immortal Palace.

If Zhang Tie was talking about something ordinary, the other elders must have believed him at once. However, this thing was too shocking. Additionally, the moles of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace that Zhang Tie accused were elders like them of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace whom they were familiar with. Therefore, they all became confused. If someone was involved with Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, he would become the target for all humans in Motian Realm. Even Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Force Emperor Immortal Palace would not let him go.

‘Did Zhang Tie want to kill them with this excuse?’ Such a whim occurred to some elders at once; however, it wavered at once; because it was groundless. Zhang Tie had already established his authority in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and the elders didn’t pose any threat to him at all. Additionally, there was no sharp contradiction between Xia Yangming, Shi Zhongyu and Zhang Tie at all.

In an instant, the air over the viewing platform seemed to freeze.

Zhang Tie shook his head. If Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu could confess their real identities and take away their lackeys in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, Zhang Tie would really allow them to leave here. He didn’t want to make Dragon Emperor the frontline of the war between humans and Dark Emperor Immortal Palace at all. However, Zhang Tie realized that the two people would never admit that until death. Additionally, as Dark Emperor Immortal Palace intended to annex Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Even if their conspiracy was exposed, they would never accept their failure.

“Actually the old man has long noticed that something was wrong with you the moment he returned to Dragon Emperor City!” Zhang Tie watched Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu in a despicable manner as his words and expression were stabbing the two people like invisible swords. The words “old man” had already shaken their resolution. “Do you know why the old man didn’t kill you at that moment?’

Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu kept their mouths closed. At this moment, if any one of them was low-witted, he might have asked why. However, the two elders had seen the world. Of course, they could never make such a joke at this critical moment.

Zhang Tie didn’t expect them to answer him at all; instead, he continued, “I didn’t understand it either at the beginning. Later on, I realized that the old man still treasured the past relationship between you and him. He didn’t want to kill you the moment he came back in case that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace became the laughingstock across Motian Realm. Therefore, he handed me the right to dispose of you. He was sparing an opportunity for you. Additionally, the old man had seen through that you’ve got some problem; however, he was confused about the thing in your mind sea either. As he had not seen that before, he was not sure about its potential danger. Therefore, he didn’t hurt you. After Dark Emperor Immortal’s conspiracy was exposed, I understood it at once. If Dark Emperor Immortal Palace wanted to annex Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, they only need to control one or two puppets among the elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Finally, they would let the puppets take charge of the entire Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace aboveboard. In that way, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would cease to exist except in name. It would completely become subordinate to Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. This is the best way for Dark Emperor Immortal Palace to control Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace at the least cost. Not until then did I understand who have you really relied on and why didn’t you launch a strike to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace by force!”

“Your Majesty, you’re giving a dog a bad name and hanging it…” Xia Yangming let out a deep sigh.

Shi Zhongyu’s face turned gloomy as he took a look at the “Four-Image Heavenly Battle Formation”. Closely after that, his eye corners slightly twitched. By then, Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu finally understood why Zhang Tie took them here to watch the drill of Dragon Teeth Army. This was evidently a trap. As long as they fell into it, they would barely come out.

Zhang Tie ignored Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu; instead, he faced the other elders, saying, “Please think about it. Before the old man came back, who posed that anyone who promoted to a supreme-level immortal general first could take over Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace?”

After being warned by Zhang Tie, these elders were shocked at once as they appeared to have understood the truth.

“Your Majesty, I remember that it’s Elder Shi who posed it when we were talking about it…” Long Jiutian said as instantly moved one step back and gazed at Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu, being alert. He almost released his protective battle qi.

“Your Majesty, do you really want to kill us? How could you frame Elder Xia and me without any evidence?” Shi Zhongyu suddenly provoked as he took a look at the other elders, saying, “I’m afraid that you would be the next!”

“It’s easy to prove it. Elder Xia, Elder Shi, as long as you feel no shame, you could let me examine your mind sea right in front of the other elders. It’ said that Golden-Soul Rune Virus is in one’s mind sea. If you’re innocent, I will apologize to you by kowtowing to you right in front of the others…” Zhang Tie said with a smile.

“Your Majesty, go ahead…” Xia Yangming replied as he shrugged.

Zhang Tie sneered as he moved one step forward and reached out his hand towards Xia Yangming’s head.

An emergency broke out abruptly…

Before Zhang Tie’s hand touched Xia Yangming’s head, Shi Zhongyu suddenly squinted his eyes as he stomped onto the ground.

Boom…

In a split second, like a pile of alchemist’s bombs blew up under the viewing platform, a berserk battle qi surged out of the ground and shot thousands of meters away, collapsing the entire viewing platform into powder at once. Even the nearby hillside collapsed heavily.

However, Zhang Tie had long taken precautions against that.

Zhang Tie had already punched out his fist the moment Shi Zhongyu launched a strike. His Dragon Emperor Immortal Fist turned into a berserk dragon which immediately covered Xia Yangming, Shi Zhongyu, Tang Shenghou and Huo Xianlai…
