Chapter 1177 (Betrayal!)
Chapter 1177 (Betrayal!)
Ye Hua sat across from Donghuang Baizhi, picked up a teapot, poured a cup of water, and downed it in one gulp, making it seem like he was drinking alcohol.
"What's wrong? Who annoyed you?" Donghuang Baizhi curiously asked.
"These subordinates, acting like they're causing a ruckus, all wanting to go on a training journey, are they out of their minds?" Ye Hua said in a low voice. Of course, he didn't want so many people to go and sacrifice themselves. If Tang Wei, Li Hun, Dongfang Yuer, and others were to die, how would he explain it?
It was quite irritating.
"Ye Hua, after the incident with Wei Chang, everyone wants to become stronger, and I can understand that," Donghuang Baizhi said softly, standing behind Ye Hua. She gently pressed her slender fingers against Ye Hua's temple.
Ye Hua closed his eyes, feeling a bit relieved. "Baizhi, they are going to their deaths. If they all fall, I won't be able to bear it."
"Then help them a little," Donghuang Baizhi suggested.
"Help? How is that considered training? Will I be playing with them?" Ye Hua rebuked. How could such thoughts exist? It was terrifying!
"Then let them go," Donghuang Baizhi said.
"They'll probably get wiped out!" Ye Hua said.
"See, no matter what I say, you always contradict me. In fact, you underestimate them too much," Donghuang Baizhi said softly.
Ye Hua asked, puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"
"In fact, they all want to do something for you instead of idling around all day. This time, you dispatched Jue Tian, Ye Zizi, Brittany, and Kai Yun as the main forces, but they didn't have any tasks. What do you think they're thinking?" Donghuang Baizhi explained and continued, "Isn't it just thinking that they are too weak, and you don't value them?"
"I don't want them to take risks. The other side can beat even Wei Chang. If they go, it won't have any effect," Ye Hua said.
"You know, and they know it too. So, they want to work hard to improve their strength, so that you won't worry, and they can share your burdens. Yet, you scold them. If others have such subordinates, they would laugh in their dreams. It's truly not appreciating the good things you have," Donghuang Baizhi said.
Being spoken to by the Empress like this, Ye Hua felt that there was some truth to it. The desire to become stronger was indeed admirable, and he appreciated it.
It seemed that he really needed to be a bit tougher on himself, not treating them like children anymore. Life or death depended on their fate!
With so many people going together, they might be able to take care of each other more or less. Whether they would be wiped in a day was unknown.
"Then let them go. You go and talk to them. I'm still angry," Ye Hua entered the room, and Donghuang Baizhi shook her head. This face-saving habit was probably something that would never change.
The entire team had so many people wanting to risk their lives. As the boss, he was definitely worried, but he couldn't stop them too much. That was the dilemma Ye Hua faced.
Evil City.
Evil City was now separated by a deep gap, turning into two halves!
The Heavenly Arena was also forced to be cancelled, because the dean of the Divine Scripture Academy, Tai He, went missing! This news left everyone at Divine Scripture Academy in a state of panic. The dean disappeared!
How could this be possible? Did he fall into a rift and die? He was an Overlord, not a mere chicken.
The news of Tai He's disappearance quickly spread throughout the southern region, as it was a case of a supreme being going missing.
However, what everyone probably couldn't imagine was that Kai Yun punched Tai He to pieces, right in front of everyone.
City Lord Mu Hong and Xin Ba were aware of this news, but they dared not speak. Punching an Overlord to pieces, that short gal was incredibly formidable, and no one knew how powerful she truly was.
Chang Hen returned to the Broken Meridian Sect the next day. The mountain range of the Broken Meridian Sect had collapsed, leaving the entire sect in ruins.
The Divine Scripture Academy lost a dean, and the Broken Meridian Sect was almost halfway destroyed.
This was the aftermath of the battle between Wei Chang and the mysterious figure. At this level of fighting, it could destroy the heavens and the earth in minutes, no joking.
Long Aotian and his team didn't expect such an event to happen in Evil City. They couldn't stay here anymore.
Before dawn, Long Aotian left with his people, heading north.
Qi Xuewen was the same; this place was not suitable for a long stay, and moreover, Aquapolis had also encountered trouble! They had to return quickly!
Xin Ba and Qi Xuewen still hadn't met. They were good brothers then.
Jue Tian and Brittany's mission was to find Wei Chang!
The two had long been on the scene, analysing it based on their experience.
"Jue Tian, judging from the destruction here, this isn't Wei Chang's full strength," Brittany said casually. They could only deduce from the large craters, as they couldn't find any clues.
Jue Tian, rubbing his chin, stood in the void and said, "Yeah, this indeed isn't Wei Chang's full strength, but the opponent is not weak either."
"Wei Chang was controlling his strength to avoid destroying the entire Sapphire Continent," Brittany said in a deep voice.
"Does the opponent have the same attitude?" Jue Tian fell into deep doubt.
Brittany said, "Wei Chang showed his true form, which is quite rare. Is the opponent so strong?"
"Maybe the opponent destroyed Wei Chang's physical body, forcing him to reveal his true form."
"No, even Wei Chang's physical body is extremely powerful; how could it be destroyed like this?" Brittany still couldn't believe it.
Jue Tian asked Brittany, "Let me ask you something. Would you believe that there is someone here who can match us in strength?"
"Of course not," Brittany instinctively replied.
"That's right. Wei Chang didn't believe it either, so he underestimated the enemy, was forced to reveal his true form, and crushed the opponent in anger! The key point is this man appeared here! Why didn't Wei Chang even send a distress signal before disappearing!" Jue Tian could only speculate up to this point, and he couldn't figure it out anymore.
"Could it be that an even more powerful person came out and defeated Wei Chang?" Brittany questioned in confusion.
"It's impossible. If someone could defeat Wei Chang, then the entire Sapphire Continent would be in jeopardy," Jue Tian shook his head, dismissing such a possibility.
"Why is that?" Brittany asked in confusion.
Jue Tian's expression turned serious, "The only remaining possibility is…!"
"What?" Seeing Jue Tian's grim expression, Brittany couldn't help but feel concerned.
"Wei Chang! He has betrayed us!" Jue Tian said coldly.
Brittany gasped in shock, completely unable to entertain such a thought. Anyone else could be accused of betrayal, but Wei Chang? It seemed unimaginable!
It must be said that Jue Tian deserved to be the team's intellectual leader; that's why Ye Hua had sent him to investigate Wei Chang's situation.
Based on the scale of destruction on the ground, the situation seemed almost certain.
"If Wei Chang has betrayed us, it's going to be troublesome!" Jue Tian said in a heavy tone. If Wei Chang had truly betrayed them, it would be a massive blow to their leader.
Back then, Ye Zizi had also 'betrayed,' but it was a case of losing memory and not recognizing them.
In Wei Chang's case, it was clearly different!
