Monarch Of Time Chapter 248 - 248 Betrayal

Chapter 248 - 248 Betrayal

Everyone was shocked when they heard Zhao Lan's words.
Although they knew that the Feng family hadn't allowed the 'Alchemists' Guild' to interfere, they had still expected Zhao Lan to fight for the Night star continent, even against the orders of the Feng family.
After all, he was a person who had been born and raised in the Night star continent as well, so how could he simply allow the Demon Emperor palace to take it over.
The golden-robed old man next to Zhao Lan didn't speak, but he also nodded his head, showing that he agreed with Zhao Lan's words.
When he saw this scene, Duan Zhu exploded in laughter as he looked at the 2 rank 3 gold grade alchemists and said
''Hahahaha! Of course you wouldn't fight against me. After all, unlike them, you already know how strong the powers of the Central region really are!''
The old woman from the 'Mercenaries' Association' looked at Zhao Lan with a look of scorn in her eyes, before she turned her gaze towards Duan Zhu, as she spoke with a serious look
''Hall master Duan, even without these 2 spineless worms, I can assure you that the 8 of us are more than sufficient to fight against you.
No matter how strong you are, don't tell me that you really believe, that you can fight against 8 peak rank 9 Dao Kings by yourself.
Perhaps you can show us how strong your Demon Emperor palace's 'Blood Palm' really is.''
Duan Zhu's eyes narrowed when he heard the words of the elderly woman from the 'Mercenaries' Association'.
A mocking look had appeared on his face as he stared at her, before he turned his attention towards the 2 women of the Dark elf race. as he then smiled and asked
''Are you going to come here or not?''
Everyone else, including the old woman from the 'Mercenaries' Association', as well as Sheng Jun and his wife, had suddenly turned their attention to the 2 beautiful women of the dark elf race.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, the 2 stunning women both smiled seductively at Duan Zhu, before they flew to his side.
A look of fear, as well as shock and disbelief, had covered the old woman's face, as she stared at the scene in front of her.
Even after opening her mouth a few times, the words that she wanted to say just wouldn't come out.
Surprisingly, the first person who spoke was Qiao Lifen, as she looked at the 2 women next to Duan Zhu and asked with an incredulous expression
''Yi Huian, Yi Xiaosi, are you certain that you want to do this? If you betray us, not only will you become enemies with the entire Heaven's Dome city, but your dark elf race won't be spared either.''
The red-haired Yi Huian looked at Qiao Lifen with a derisive look in her eyes, as she then asked
''Enemies with the entire Heaven's Dome city? Do you think that your Shengtian dynasty is strong enough to declare something like that? And even if you were strong enough in the past, can you say the same now that lord Duan Zhu is here?''
Qiao Lifen wanted to rebuke the beautiful red-haired dark elf, when she felt Sheng Jun's hand holding her back.
It seemed as if Sheng Jun's old eyes had just been enlightened, as he looked at the 2 women next to Duan Zhu, before he said in a calm voice
''It seems that your dark elf race has been planning this for a long time.
This is probably the reason why you wanted us all to go to the 'Dragon Lord's villa' together and advance to its core region... since you were traitors all along.
I suppose that this also why you were against having the younger generation of our continent gather in the 'Heaven's Dome city'. After all, as long as one of them enters the Holy sect, then the Demon Emperor palace will not be able to act wildly here right?''
Everyone was stunned when they heard Sheng Jun's deduction.
DIdn't this mean that the Demon Emperor palace knew of all their plans from the start?
At the same time, cold sweat had formed on the other experts' heads, when they thought of what would have happened if they had agreed to explore the core regions of the 'Dragon Lord's villa' together with the 2 women of the dark elf race.
With 2 traitors guarding their backs, who knew how many of them would have survived in that case.
As everyone turned their eyes to Yi Huian, the second beautiful dark elf, Yi Xiaosi, looked at the people around her with contempt, before her eyes were focused on Sheng Jun.
Looking at the old king of the Shengtian dynasty, she then said in a calm tone
''Sheng Jun, you are the only one who is somewhat smart among these people.
However, the reason that we wanted you to go to the 'Dragon Lord's villa' wasn't to kill you. It was so you could scout the path ahead for lord Duan Zhu.
After all, even for lord Duan Zhu, traveling to the core region of the 'Dragon Lord's villa' will still hold some dangers. It's indeed unfortunate that you refused in the end.
As for your second 'deduction' however, you are completely mistaken.
The reason that Huian was against gathering every strong, talented person in the Heaven's Dome city, is because it was a pointless thing to do.
No matter how many people gather, none of them will pass the Holy sect's test.
After all, in all these years, how many people from the Night star continent have survived and passed through the fourth test to become official disciples of the sect?''
Ignoring the shocked looks on the Dao Kings faces, Duan Zhu looked at the elderly woman from the 'Mercenaries Association', and in a voice that oozed with confidence and arrogance he said
''Your name is Shao Wenqian or something isn't it? Do you still want to fight with me? Come then!''
