"What?!"
"How is that possible?!"
"He... he's the Arriver?!"
The former emperor and others exclaimed.
Zhou Wanchen's body shook, a look of shock appeared in his eyes, his brows furrowed tightly, staring directly at Jiang Chen.
"Oh? An Arriver? Jiang Chen, how did you determine he's the Arriver?"
The Black Mist Serpent looked sharply at Jiang Chen.
Zhou Wanchen's betrayal had already created a rift between Jiang Chen and his allies, and with Zhou Wanchen bringing up the matter of the Ancient Martial Era's arrival, others outside of Jiang Chen's alliance and the four major forces began to hesitate.
If this trend continues, when they start fighting again, Jiang Chen's side's combat power will likely decrease significantly.
Although Eight-Headed Dragon's side has more strong warriors than Jiang Chen's side, their quality is lacking; the strong ones at the Saint Realm Peak only include five Black Mist Serpents and the Dark Church's Pope, cloaked in a black robe beside him; the others are only at the late Saint Realm at best.
If a fight breaks out, their odds aren't particularly great, so Eight-Headed Dragon hopes Jiang Chen's side fractures.
He really didn't expect Jiang Chen to be alive, and moreover, to have won over the Holy Court, Chaide Family, and Qi Sha Group; these three forces were unexpected for Eight-Headed Dragon, the key to it all being Jiang Chen's survival!
Had Jiang Chen died, the ties between the Holy Court and other forces with the Flame Dragon's side would have been severed, even if they sent assistance, it wouldn't be their full power!
"You told me!" Jiang Chen looked indifferently at the Black Mist Serpent.
"Me?" The Black Mist Serpent asked in surprise.
Jiang Chen said calmly, "Didn't you contact some Arrivers intending to unite and rule the world? I obtained a list of forces you contacted, and on that list is the Flame Dragon Zhou Family. Other than the Zhou Family's Old Patriarch, only those at Venerable Realm or below are left. If he's not the Arriver, who could it be?"
"Rule the world?!"
Hui Tong shouted in surprise, looking at Jiang Chen with shock.
Jiang Chen glanced at Hui Tong and quietly said, "Master Hui Tong, some matters were inconvenient to share earlier, but after eliminating the three major organizations, I'll explain everything with Dragon Saint!"
"Hmph! Rule the world, what a grand accusation!"
The Black Mist Serpent said coldly, "Jiang Chen, do you think pinning your conspiracy on us can hide your ambitions? Is it us or you who wants to rule the world? Haven't you united with the four major forces just to rule the world?"
Hui Tong and others looked suspiciously at Jiang Chen. Now, both sides are presenting their cases. Deep down, they leaned towards Jiang Chen's side since the three organizations were infamous, but they wanted to see what Jiang Chen would say.
"I want to rule the world?"
Jiang Chen sneered, "Eight-Headed Dragon, don't you think you're slapping your own face? Earlier, you said my life's goal was to give Jing Yi and the others a stable living environment, and now suddenly, it's about ruling the world. You're hitting yourself pretty fast, aren't you?"
Hui Tong and others were stunned, suddenly recalling that Eight-Headed Dragon did claim Jiang Chen was working hard just for his loved ones, reinforcing their belief in Jiang Chen's side.
The Black Mist Serpent's eyes shifted, staring intently at Jiang Chen, and said coldly, "Jiang Chen, no matter what you say, your woman and your family are in our hands, you better..."
"Wan Chen, release Mr. Jiang's family, we can protect the Zhou Family, quickly release Mr. Jiang's family, don't continue down this wrong path!"
Supreme Phoenix Luan still harbored hopes for Zhou Wanchen and hadn't given up on him!
"Feng Luan, I can't release them, if I do, my Zhou Family will surely be destroyed by him!" Zhou Wanchen showed a bitter expression again.
"Mr. Jiang, please..." Supreme Phoenix Luan turned to Jiang Chen, almost pleading.
Jiang Chen raised his hand to stop Supreme Phoenix Luan, speaking solemnly, "Supreme Phoenix Luan, don't you understand? Zhou Wanchen is no longer the man you loved! After I rescued him, he was possessed by someone else!"
"Impossible! Impossible!"
Supreme Phoenix Luan couldn't accept Jiang Chen's statement. She had waited nearly a century for Zhou Wanchen, finally reuniting with her beloved after a hundred years, how could she give up on Zhou Wanchen!
"Jiang Chen, do you really want to fight me to the death? I did it for my family, yet you repeatedly accuse me of being possessed, are you willing to risk your family's lives?" Zhou Wanchen spoke harshly.
Supreme Phoenix Luan was confounded, thoroughly unable to discern who, between Jiang Chen and Zhou Wanchen, was telling the truth!
"Are you sure my family is really in your hands?" Jiang Chen looked up at Zhou Wanchen, speaking coldly.
Everyone was momentarily stunned, indeed, it's always been Eight-Headed Dragon and Zhou Wanchen claiming this, but has it been verified?
"What? Didn't you just say you received news of the manor being attacked? Do you think You Xuan and those thirty-six Venerables can hold off the five Saint Realm Peak experts I sent?" Zhou Wanchen spoke coldly.
"Supreme Phoenix Luan, did you hear that? He admitted he's the Arriver!"
Jiang Chen didn't respond to Zhou Wanchen but turned to Supreme Phoenix Luan.
Once again, everyone was puzzled, admitted it? How did I not hear that? Am I deaf?
"When did I admit to being the Arriver?" Zhou Wanchen's expression changed dramatically, he shouted.
Jiang Chen's lips curled with a mocking smile, "Old Patriarch Zhou, didn't you say you dispatched five Saint Realm Peak experts to Dingyun Lake Manor? If you weren't the Arriver, given Zhou Family's reclusive status, how could a mid-Saint Realm Martial Artist like you have the authority to dispatch five Saint Realm Peak experts? Where did those five come from?"
"I..."
Zhou Wanchen's face changed drastically, his expression turning sinister as he hadn't expected Jiang Chen to catch him on such a slip of the tongue!
The surrounding people all nodded, fully believing in Jiang Chen's words.
"Jiang Chen, you're quite persuasive, but those five Saint Realm Peak experts were dispatched to Zhou Wanchen by me!" The Black Mist Serpent spoke blandly.
Zhou Wanchen was momentarily stunned, his eyes brightened as he was about to agree.
"Is that so?"
However, Jiang Chen spoke first, "Then you're quite impressive, Eight-Headed Dragon! Able to command the old subordinates of Zhou Family instead of its own people, you're truly remarkable!"
"Zhou Family's old subordinates?!"
Dragon Saint was momentarily surprised, clearly puzzled, then frowned, saying solemnly, "Mr Jiang, are you saying..."
