Chapter 1043: Master, Did You Sell Me?

It was naturally impossible for any news to come; originally, because of Qi Xiong's Heavenly Tribulation, it had attracted most of the Demon Race's attention.

The Demon Race scouts originally tasked with monitoring Dao Yi Shengdi had all diverted half of their number to monitor Qi Xiong.

The remaining misfits, under Yun Xiantai and the others personally taking action, naturally had no movement and were thus eliminated.

For a Great Emperor powerhouse to eliminate a few scouts is hardly a covert act.

Moreover, over the past few days, all the Demon Emperors' attention has been focused on Qi Xiong, leaving them no spare capacity to worry about Dao Yi Shengdi.

Seeing the Demon Emperors looking bewildered, Qi Xiong, in his heart a Great Emperor, silently put away his Teleportation Array Disk and then let out a loud shout.

"Demon Race, listen up—you are already surrounded; why not surrender?"

"You............"

Seeing Qi Xiong's face change instantly, arrogant and smug, the Demon Emperors gritted their teeth, making a grating sound.

"You damn it, why didn't you do that earlier? Now that people have arrived, you're acting arrogant again, right?"

"What are you looking at? Surrender quickly, or there's only a dead end."

Facing the Demon Emperors' angry glares, Qi Xiong showed no fear whatsoever—what, now that the people of Dao Yi Shengdi have arrived, could I be afraid of you?

"Damn it, kill him—even if they've come, what does it matter? Today I'll still kill him."

The Demon Emperors roared, and immediately the two sides launched into battle.

Although Dao Yi Shengdi suddenly appeared here, and they had received no hint of it, the original plan had already accounted for the possibility of Dao Yi Shengdi coming to reinforce.

Although some minor problems arose in between, it's no big deal—we still have to fight.

The Demon Emperors also immediately stood together with Yun Xiantai and the others.

Among them, six Demon Emperors joined forces to deal with the four from Yun Xiantai, while the rest surrounded Qi Xiong.

It seems they really intend to kill Qi Xiong here.

As for the four from Yun Xiantai, just holding them off is enough.

"Hah, six Demon Emperors think they can stop this old man's four? That's pure wishful thinking."

In response, Yun Xiantai showed no tension at all; instead, Qi Xiong's side was under immense pressure.

Facing the combined siege of several Demon Emperors, Qi Xiong struggled greatly, thinking.

"My master and the others must have rushed here in haste to rescue; the Demon Race obviously prepared in advance—this battle cannot be won."

Qi Xiong instantly figured it all out, realizing this battle couldn't be fought head-on; the Demon Race obviously had a plan.

And Dao Yi Shengdi had none.

Qi Xiong believed that, as a Holy Lord, if Dao Yi Shengdi had any plan, he couldn't possibly not know about it.

Just as he was planning to have everyone fight while retreating, suddenly, on the battlefield, talisman seals and formation disks erupted.

"Huh???"

Seeing the talisman seals and formation disks, Qi Xiong froze on the spot—was this a trap?

No way—wasn't Dao Yi Shengdi supposed to rush here to rescue me? How could they have time to set up a trap?

As the traps kept being triggered, Qi Xiong was dumbfounded—what's going on? Does our Dao Yi Shengdi also have a plan?

But why would I, the Holy Lord, not know about it?

This clearly wasn't a spur-of-the-moment idea, yet our own holy land has a battle plan, and this Holy Lord knows nothing about it?

Qi Xiong only felt a tangled complexity inside—am I still the Holy Lord or not?

Not only him, but the Demon Race side was also dazed by the sudden traps—many Demon Emperors, they were stunned speechless.

"A trap? Why would there be a trap?"

"Impossible."

Where did this Dao Yi Shengdi get these traps? Moreover, the number of them is excessive—this absolutely couldn't be set up casually; it must have been prepared in advance.

Dao Yi Shengdi made preparations?

The situation's development completely exceeded the Demon Race's expectations; without these traps, they might still have been able to contend with Dao Yi Shengdi for a while, but with these traps, the situation is completely different.

Moreover, the strength of Dao Yi Shengdi's many disciples has increased abnormally rapidly.

Almost every person has made a breakthrough in the past month or so, at least a minor realm advancement.

This is the terrifying power of merit; the overall enhancement of the Human Race is absolutely exaggerated to the extreme.

"Damn it, why is this happening?"

"We've been schemed against, vile humans."

"Did you Dao Yi Shengdi already know our Demon Race's plan?"

A Demon Emperor, perfected, shouted angrily at Hong Zun, who was currently fighting him, "This is clearly Dao Yi Shengdi scheming against us!"

Hearing that, Hong Zun didn't think much and casually replied.

"Only now do I realize, a single fish bait has lured you all here."

"Fish bait? What fish bait?"

"Hah, what do you say? My master's divine calculations used my Senior Brother as bait; otherwise, how would your Demon Race have taken the hook?"

"Damn it, you actually used your own Holy Lord as bait."

Just as he was saying that, Hong Zun realized nothing was wrong, when suddenly a furious shout rang out.

"Fish bait? Am I the fish bait?"

The voice unmistakably came from Qi Xiong.

He had been full of doubts just then, but upon casually hearing Hong Zun's words, in an instant he understood everything.

He damn well had become the fish bait, and the mastermind behind it all was his own master.

At that moment, Qi Xiong's eyes reddened, and he looked toward Yun Xiantai, who was engaged in fierce battle not far away, and roared.

"Master, did you sell me out?"

The words are full of grief and indignation, sorrow, despair—I am your disciple, ah, you treat me like this?

Even Yun Xiantai, faced with Qi Xiong's questioning, couldn't help but blush a little, but still she explained.

"Um, disciple, listen to your master's explanation."

"I won't listen, I won't listen."

"Then fine."

"You sold me out, and in the end you didn't even give a single explanation?"

"Isn't it because you yourself won't listen?"

"Then go ahead and say it."

"Fine, Master....."

"I won't listen, I won't listen."

"I fucking....."

After all that tugging, Yun Xiantai also got annoyed, you fucking sick?

Looking at Qi Xiong, not caring what he said, Yun Xiantai directly said.

"You unfilial disciple, you have no sense of responsibility at all—how can this be called selling you out? As the Holy Lord of Dao Yi Shengdi, shouldn't you lead from the front, take the vanguard?"

"I............ then you should also tell me."

"If you had told me beforehand, could you still have acted so perfectly?"

"What Master said is a bit........... totally pointless, huh."

For no reason he was just made into fish bait, Qi Xiong felt furious inside, and it looks like only he, this Holy Lord, is being buried in the drum.

"I am your Holy Lord, and you treat me like this?"

His scarlet-red gaze swept over all the Dao Yi Shengdi disciples present, the stewards, the elders, and he said through gritted teeth.

"Fine, fine, fine, you bunch of dogs, you're playing like this, huh? Wait for me."

Having said that, Qi Xiong again roared angrily at Yun Xiantai.

"Then why don't you come save me quickly? I'm fish bait, not cannon fodder, right?"

Qi Xiong truly couldn't deal with so many demon emperors, so he could only shout angrily at Yun Xiantai, "I fucking am fish bait, not cannon fodder—come save me, this daddy."
