In the dark fog, Lin Chen frowned slightly.
Nothing to do with Qingluan Immortal Monarch?
Is it an evasion, or the truth?
Lin Chen and the others had previously speculated that it was possible Qingluan Immortal Monarch was rely playing the role of the Immortal Emperor’s pawn when striking at Gu Yue.
"Then tell , what is the truth."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch asked, "If I prove that this matter has nothing to do with , will you let go?"
Lin Chen said nothing; he simply walked up to him and extended his finger towards Qingluan Immortal Monarch’s forehead.
Seeing this, Qingluan Immortal Monarch instantly panicked.
Is he planning to use the Soul-searching technique directly?
"Stop! I’ll talk!"
Though he didn’t get the promise he sought from the other party, Qingluan Immortal Monarch had no other option. After all, even if he didn’t speak, the Soul-searching technique would still reveal the secrets he wanted to hide.
Having already fallen into the hands of others, he had no choice but to speak.
"It was my subordinate Zhou Yuren who used the Qingluan Order to gather a large number of Quasi-Saints to besiege Gu Yue. But he did this without my orders."
Lin Chen asked calmly, "The Qingluan Order is yours, right? Are you saying you didn’t give the order?"
Qingluan Immortal Monarch smiled wryly, "The Qingluan Order is mine, but I only gave it to him during my Closed Door Cultivation so he could handle matters for . Who knew he would use it to do such a thing?"
Not waiting for Lin Chen to question further, Qingluan Immortal Monarch quickly revealed the answer, "It wasn’t who instructed Zhou Yuren to do it. It was my junior brother, Sea Burning Immortal Monarch."
What?
Lin Chen was astonished.
He had considered the possibility that Qingluan Immortal Monarch would ntion the Immortal Emperor, but he never expected him to na Sea Burning Immortal Monarch.
The mastermind turned out to be Sea Burning Immortal Monarch?
Qingluan Immortal Monarch further explained, "Zhou Yuren has always been Sea Burning Immortal Monarch’s man, lurking by my side. It was through this incident that I saw through Zhou Yuren’s identity."
"After I ca out of seclusion, Zhou Yuren voluntarily told that he had gathered a group of Quasi-Saints to attack Gu Yue. They intended to seize the Heavenly Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Tower to present it to , and then I would offer it to our master, hoping to gain his favor."
"But this matter is no small thing. Gu Yue is soone even our master admires. Zhou Yuren, acting on my behalf without my approval, carried out the plan."
"He said I might consider it, but wouldn’t act on it myself, so he made the decision for , taking all the bla on him."
"I am a suspicious person by nature, and didn’t believe his words imdiately. I used the Drunken Immortal Pot on him, and under its influence, he spilled the truth."
"He was always Sea Burning Immortal Monarch’s pawn by my side. This ti, he acted on Sea Burning Immortal Monarch’s orders, using my Qingluan Order."
"If successful, he planned to defect and disappear, and the Heavenly Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Tower would fall into Sea Burning Immortal Monarch’s hands. If he failed, he would stay and shift all the bla onto ."
"After the incident, Gu Yue refused to comply and sent away the Heavenly Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Tower. Gu Yue then fell into Zhou Yuren’s hands, and Zhou Yuren handed Gu Yue over to Sea Burning Immortal Monarch, but told that Gu Yue refused to submit and used a secret technique to self-destruct."
After hearing Qingluan Immortal Monarch’s account, Lin Chen was secretly amazed. The rivalry among these three senior and junior brothers was intense.
On the surface, they appear to be loving and affectionate, but privately, it’s a matter of life and death, with mutual backstabbing.
Lin Chen mostly believed the story, but now that the Quasi-Saint army had already been mobilized, it was impossible to send Lord Charm Erosion to capture Sea Burning Immortal Monarch.
Lin Chen asked, "When you returned from the Star Sea this ti, you brought back kryptonite and made great contributions. Did the Immortal Emperor promise to help you beco a Saint?"
Qingluan Immortal Monarch was shocked. This was top secret, known to very few people. How did the person in front of him know?
He considered that since the person in front of him asked about Gu Yue, it was unlikely he was allied with Sea Burning. The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch’s subordinates were mostly dead and couldn’t have soone this powerful.
This person, eting him while cloaked in dark fog and disguising his voice, indicated that they must know each other!
The other party was concerned about Qingluan Immortal Monarch seeing his appearance and didn’t want him to hear his voice, fearing he might recognize his identity.
Qingluan Immortal Monarch’s mind raced, suspects flashed through his thoughts but were quickly ruled out by himself.
When Lin Chen’s figure appeared before him, Qingluan Immortal Monarch shuddered, his eyes filled with shock.
Although there was no direct evidence proving Lin Chen had co after him, considering Lin Chen’s previous and subsequent attitudes toward him, Qingluan Immortal Monarch’s intuition told him this person was likely Lin Chen!
Qingluan Immortal Monarch’s eyes lit up with joy. If it’s Lin Chen, then I won’t die today!
"Lin Chen, is that you?"
Lin Chen was taken aback. Despite his thorough concealnt, the other party still discovered his identity?
How did he find out?
"Lin Chen? You sure think highly of yourself. I am not Lin Chen..."
When Qingluan Immortal Monarch ntioned Lin Chen’s na, his eyes were not on Lin Chen in the dark fog but on Lord Charm Erosion beside him.
Lord Charm Erosion, upon hearing Qingluan Immortal Monarch directly na Lin Chen, instinctively turned and showed a hint of surprise.
Seeing Lord Charm Erosion’s reaction, Qingluan Immortal Monarch imdiately confird his guess was correct.
This person is really Lin Chen!
Qingluan Immortal Monarch relaxed and a touch of smugness appeared in his eyes.
Hahaha, Lin Chen, you never expected this, I have already captured you. Your little life is in my hands!
If you dare to kill , then you will die too!
Lin Chen also noticed Lord Charm Erosion’s reaction, knowing he had been exposed. He no longer concealed himself and directly dissipated the dense fog, revealing his figure.
"I am curious, how did you discover my identity..."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch smiled slightly, "Instinct. I wasn’t sure it was you, but after thinking it through, you’re the only one capable of pulling this off."
"I don’t understand who this Shepherd Heavenly Monarch is and why he has such terrifying strength, but I just felt it was you. Thankfully, I was right..."
Lin Chen said indifferently, "Since you know my identity, why are you so happy? I won’t let you leave!"
Qingluan Immortal Monarch laughed heartily, "Yes, you won’t let go. But if you kill , you will die too!"
Lin Chen’s lips slightly curled. He naturally understood Qingluan Immortal Monarch’s reasoning and asked leisurely, "Oh, how would I die?"
Qingluan Immortal Monarch said smugly, "At the Star Sky Demon Beast Outpost, when I attacked the guardian, I also srized you. It was then that I planted a thod on you, controlling your Primordial Spirit!"
"Your life has always been in my hands. Originally, I was worried you wouldn’t obey during the journey, so I kept a backup plan for both then and the future. But you were always so accommodating that I never had to reveal it."
"Who would have thought, my initial actions would save my life today, hahaha, this really proves that heaven does not doom ..."
