Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 832 - 827: Traitor

"Minister Bai Meng, pays respects to the Ninth Prince!"

Time slipped by, and in the hall, the oppressive atmosphere weighed down like a mountain, leaving the many masters of all clans short of breath.

Just as they were about to give in, a long, dignified, and cold voice sounded, reverberating in the great hall, shaking the void. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"He has arrived!"

Emperor Ren Jing's eyes glimmered slightly.

Internally excited.

Bai Meng!

This was a renowned prodigy among all clans.

Achieved breakthrough to Daluo Golden Immortal at twenty-five hundred years of age!

Advancing to Formation Master at three thousand years!

In contrast, despite being the Ninth Prince, he seemed overshadowed!

The void twisted, and a figure in a white robe appeared, exuding an aura of elegance, akin to a learned scholar, bowing slightly in salute.

"Please rise!"

Emperor Ren Jing dared not act arrogantly, the terrifying aura was withdrawn, and he personally raised Bai Meng.

This action shocked the kneeling masters of various clans; what status could this white-robed figure hold, to warrant such reception from the prince?

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Bai Meng's expression remained unchanged as he respectfully replied.

"Please sit!"

Emperor Ren Jing nodded, indicating the chair beside him, then said to the kneeling masters of various clans: "Rise yourselves!"

He then pointed at Bai Meng and said, "Let me introduce, this is Bai Meng, descendant of the monster sage Bai Ze, Formation Master from the last generation amongst all clans, here to aid us in vanquishing the Qin Dynasty Heavenly Court!"

"Hiss!"

The masters of various clans inhaled sharply, displaying respect, admiration, and reverence.

Descendant of a monster sage.

An innate noble lineage indeed!

"Just a false reputation!"

Bai Meng waved his hand, his expression solemn as he launched straight into the subject, "Time is of the essence, tell me about the situation of the Qin Dynasty Heavenly Court!"

He was a man of action.

And particularly valued time, not wanting to waste even a second.

Upon arriving at the Fifth Heaven, his foremost task was to destroy the Qin Dynasty Heavenly Court, all other matters were to be postponed.

...

The Ten Thousand Great Mountains!

The Dark Realm!

Called the Dark Realm, it was in truth a mustard seed world.

Served as the final place of survival for humanity.

This domain was vast, equivalent to a little thousand worlds, beautifully adorned with Rhymes in Dao and abundant in resources, practically no different from the outside world.

Countless defeated human forces hid within the Dark Realm.

As far as the eye could see, there were human warriors everywhere, either heavily wounded, seething with killing intent, or sighing...

Except for ignorant children, living carefree lives.

The rest bore expressions of worry.

In the central hall.

Sect Master Lin Tianyi sat on a chair, holding two rosters in his hand, his gaze scattered, long unable to regain focus.

These rosters came from the Qin Dynasty Heavenly Court.

One was the roster of traitors!

Another was a roster of those on all clans' kill list!

"Who would've thought the internal human realm would harbor so many turncoats!"

After a long while, Lin Tianyi finally regained composure, fists clenched tight, a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

It was now clear to him.

Why the human race had been defeated so swiftly.

As it turned out, the neighboring 'allies' were all traitors!

"Come!"

Lin Tianyi raised his voice and called.

The hall door opened, a few Guiyuan Sect disciples entered, cupping their hands in salute.

"Go and summon the Master of Burn Fire Valley, Pavilion Master of Clear Wind, and others..."

Lin Tianyi listed dozens of names.

The Guiyuan Sect disciples nodded, just about to retreat when Lin Tianyi's voice echoed again: "Remember, do not alert anyone!"

"Understood!"

The disciples' hearts tensed, swiftly departing.

Soon enough, a number of imposing figures entered the hall.

"Sect Master Lin, what business brings us here?"

The burly Master of Burn Fire Valley, donned in a red long robe, casually asked as he sat down.

"Matters concerning the fate of humanity in the Fifth Heaven!"

Lin Tianyi's visage was solemn, straight to the point, he presented the roster of traitors, passing it around as he spoke: "This is sent from the Qin Dynasty Heavenly Court, please take a look!"

The Master of Burn Fire Valley raised an eyebrow, glanced at the roster briefly, his expression drastically changing.

"Kill!"

After examining the roster, he roared softly.

A chilling murder intent erupted from within him, engulfing the void in blazing flames.

This piqued the curiosity of the other faction leaders; what was on this list that triggered such wrath in the Master of Burn Fire Valley?

Soon enough.

All had read through the roster.

Everyone's expressions turned remarkably grim.

"Do you think this is true? Or false?"

A martial artist swallowed hard, uncertainly asking.

On that roster, he saw several familiar names, known for ages, deeply acquainted, didn't seem like traitors at all!

"It should be true!"

"The Qin Dynasty Heavenly Court wouldn't falsify such matters!"

"Have you noticed, among those entering the 'Dark Realm', a majority are battle-worn, while members listed in the roster's factions retain significant combat strength!"

Lin Tianyi exhaled deeply, shaking his head as he spoke.

He wished so dearly for the roster to be false!

But instinct told him!

It was indeed true!

The Qin Dynasty Heavenly Court would never joke about humanity's future.

"This..."

The crowd exchanged troubled glances, upon reflection, found it was likely true, the factions listed as traitors remained battle-ready.

"This is bad!"

Suddenly, the Master of Burn Fire Valley shouted, his face turning ghastly.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Tianyi asked.

"The defense of the Dark Realm's entrance has been taken over by the 'Absolut Saber Gang'!"

The Master of Burn Fire Valley gritted his teeth as he spoke.

The crowd heard this.

And their scalps tingled with apprehension.

The Absolut Saber Gang!

Is precisely one of the factions in the traitor roster.

Now that the Absolut Saber Gang is in charge of guarding the Dark Realm's entrance, isn't it akin to traitorous forces holding the gate?

"No, we must act immediately and suppress the 'Absolut Saber Gang'!"

A martial artist of impatient temperament retrieved his weapon from his personal space, speaking with murderous resolve.

"Hold on!"

Lin Tianyi hastily stopped him: "This roster was obtained by the Qin Dynasty Heavenly Court, it only covers a tiny fraction of traitors, acting rashly will only alert the enemy!"

"Then what should we do!" The impatient martial artist asked.

"I remember the 'Absolut Saber Gang' proactively volunteered to take over entrance defense, this indicates that all clans have already discovered the Dark Realm and will soon launch an attack!"

Lin Tianyi rose, paced twice, lifted his head and said: "Master of Burn Fire Valley, you arrange for the disciples of Burn Fire Valley to defend the entrance alongside the 'Absolut Saber Gang'!"

"As for the other factions, conceal any capable warriors, when the all clans' invasion begins, the traitors will surely act, and that is when we strike and eliminate them!"

"Meanwhile, activate the Dark Realm's Formation..."

A series of commands were issued.

Leaders of multiple factions pondered, all expressing agreement.

The following days.

Inside the Dark Realm, an outwardly relaxed but internally tense atmosphere persisted, the air filled with a chilling sense of danger.

Until one evening, five days later.

Under the cloak of night, a dozen or so faction leaders gathered stealthily at a dilapidated hut.

"Gentlemen, the plan is about to commence!"

"After tomorrow, we shall bathe in monster blood, shed our human skin, and formally join all clans!"

In the dim light, the leader of the Absolut Saber Gang sat at the helm, cloaked in black, revealing a pair of red-tinged eyes, speaking ominously.

"Hehe!"

"I've long tired of this human guise!"

"Indeed, humans can never fathom the might of all clans, only by joining them can we survive..."

Strange laughter echoed from the mouths of other faction leaders, sending shivers down the spine.
