293. Chapter 293: Jing Hongchen's Choice, Kong Deming's Powerless Rage

Meanwhile.

High in the sky, several figures flew rapidly toward the valley ahead.

Behind them was a legion of over ten thousand men, fully armed, their terrifying momentum sweeping across hundreds of miles! "These damned Evil Soul Masters, daring to interfere in our Imperial family's internal strife, they are already courting death!"

Kong Deming's face was gloomy, his speed fast, his heart filled with monstrous killing intent and uncontrollable rage.

Since he had gone into seclusion, this was the first time he had felt such fury! He actually knew that Xu Tianran had cooperated with Evil Soul Masters before, but he hadn't stopped it because Xu Tianran's strength and power were there, and he was fully capable of suppressing and controlling these Evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Sect.

But now, it was the Eighth Prince cooperating with Evil Soul Masters. Wasn't this pure suicide?

Even if he didn't ask, he knew that the Eighth Prince had already been controlled by the Evil Soul Masters and had completely become a puppet.

If such a puppet were allowed to ascend the throne, then his Sun Moon Empire would likely not be far from destruction.

"Great Supplier, this Holy Spirit Sect is truly becoming more and more excessive. Letting them run rampant in the Sun Moon Empire for so long has already given them great face. I didn't expect this group of dogs to dare to push their luck and want to control the Imperial family! They are simply courting death!"

Beside Kong Deming, a sturdy middle-aged man was also filled with killing intent, speaking out in angry rebuke.

This middle-aged man was naturally the Legion Commander of the Imperial Dragon Soul Tool Legion—Xu Tianyuan.

Xu Tianyuan was also a member of the Imperial family. Judging by seniority, he should be considered Xu Tianran's cousin, although he was several decades older than Xu Tianran.

He held a very high status among the Imperial clan of the Sun Moon Empire, and his martial soul was also the Purple Radiant Heaven-Destroying Dragon. His cultivation was also extraordinary, possessing the combat power of a Level 92 Titled Douluo, which was the main reason he could lead the Sun Moon Empire's strongest legion.

Originally, Kong Deming's Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Master Legion and Xu Tianyuan's Imperial Dragon Soul Tool Legion could be said to have no business dealings, and the two rarely had any interaction.

But because this matter had caused such a huge stir, these two legions were also joining forces for the first time because of this, to give that group of dogs from the Holy Spirit Sect a lesson they would never forget!

"They are right ahead, the momentum is not small, it seems they are specifically waiting for us..." Kong Deming soon sensed several terrifying auras coming from the thousand-meter valley and sneered immediately.

Although he admitted that the Holy Spirit Sect was strong, he didn't believe that the Holy Spirit Sect would deploy its strongest members for the sake of a few princes.

However, the three Titled Douluo auras coming from the other side did surprise him slightly.

But it was only surprise. After all, he was thoroughly enraged this time; not only did he deploy personally, but he also brought Xu Tianyuan, a Level 93 Titled Douluo, along with two other Level 9 Soul Tool Masters.

Besides that, there were a large number of elites from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Master Legion and the Imperial Dragon Soul Tool Legion, a full two thousand people.

A soul tool array composed of a hundred people could trap a Titled Douluo! With such powerful force, he would definitely make the other side pay the price this time!...

Kong Deming led the large army and soon approached within a thousand meters of the valley.

Just then, three figures slowly appeared in the sky in the distance, forming a triangular formation. They were exactly Long Xiaoyao, Xu Guozhong, and Linghu Yun.

Long Xiaoyao stood in the center, stepping on black clouds, his whole body radiating a terrifying aura. Just by himself, he directly intimidated the two-thousand-man army Kong Deming brought, making the latter completely afraid to approach.

"Long Xiaoyao, why are you here! And Xu Guozhong and Linghu Yun, you two traitors, do you know what you are doing!" Kong Deming's heart sank when he saw Long Xiaoyao. He had originally thought that for such a matter, it would be good enough for the Holy Spirit Sect to send three Titled Douluo, but he hadn't expected them to pull Long Xiaoyao out directly!

Not only that, Kong Deming's gaze fell on the two people beside Long Xiaoyao, and he was also furious.

Good heavens, no wonder the Holy Spirit Sect was able to take down the other princes so quickly; it turned out there were traitors! Linghu Yun was in charge of the entire Imperial Capital Imperial Guard. With him as an inside man, never mind taking down a few princes, he even suspected that the old Emperor had been poisoned to death by Linghu Yun and the Holy Spirit Sect working from the inside and outside!

He could understand Xu Guozhong, that fence-sitter, defecting to the Holy Spirit Sect.

But why Linghu Yun? Linghu Yun was a native of the Empire and had been cultivated by the Empire with countless resources. That such a person would actually betray them, this Holy Spirit Sect was truly too strange...

Xu Guozhong chose to support the Eighth Prince... directly betraying them.

Mingde Hall also supported the Eighth Prince, could it be...

Kong Deming seemed to have thought of something, his heart sank again, and his face became increasingly gloomy.

"Impossible... That kid Hongchen couldn't have betrayed them... He..."

Before Kong Deming could convince himself, he saw a flying soul tool slowly appear behind Long Xiaoyao.

That flying soul tool was a transparent spherical shape with two very thin wings on the side. It flew very fast but was exceptionally stable.

And sitting in that flying soul tool was an exceptionally handsome young man, and standing beside the young man was an old man, who was exactly Jing Hongchen.

At this moment, Jing Hongchen had no demeanor of a Level 9 Soul Tool Master; he was just standing honestly behind the young man, like a guard, appearing somewhat cautious.

"Jing Hongchen... You... You actually betrayed the Empire too!! Why, why on earth is this!" Kong Deming had never felt such anger and heartache.

Jing Hongchen was his most proud student, and now he had chosen to betray the Empire and collude with these Evil Soul Masters! This was completely beyond his expectations! If it were cooperation, he could understand; after all, even Xu Tianran had cooperated with Evil Soul Masters, using the power of Evil Soul Masters for his own use. This was ability, and it was permitted.

But Jing Hongchen, Xu Guozhong, and Linghu Yun, these three were not cooperating with Evil Soul Masters, but had completely joined the camp of the Evil Soul Masters, betraying the Empire. This was treason! Thorough treason!!

Kong Deming felt an unprecedented sense of confusion and anger.

Xu Guozhong's betrayal was within reason.

Linghu Yun's betrayal was already somewhat hard for him to accept.

And now, Jing Hongchen had actually betrayed them too. Who could handle this! Before the battle even started, Kong Deming was almost beaten to the point of a mental breakdown, his spiritual power suffering 10,000 points of critical damage! If anyone had used a spiritual attack on Kong Deming at this time, it would definitely have had an unexpected effect.

"Teacher, I'm sorry..." Seeing the anger, confusion, and disappointment in Kong Deming's eyes, Jing Hongchen also lowered his head in shame.
