Chapter 1318: Unveiling the Truth

"I command you to join the battlefield and kill a few Foreign Tribe members or Corpse Demons! Execute immediately!"

Time was urgent, and Ye Liuyun had no mood to explain to them, so he forcefully issued the order.

"…Yes! Leader, take care!" the chief guard replied reluctantly.

They all understood Ye Liuyun meant well and didn't want them to stay here to die.

Sending them to kill the Foreign Tribe is better than waiting here to die; moreover, the battle will end quickly, and even if they charge, the danger is minimal.

They bowed to Ye Liuyun and then dispersed back toward the battlefield.

Ye Liuyun stood alone at the spot, fearing the Supreme Emperor might not find him, so he proactively used his Divine Sense to attract the Supreme Emperor's attention.

Although the Supreme Emperor had never seen Ye Liuyun, those Golden Pupils were a distinctly obvious sign.

From afar, the Supreme Emperor locked onto Ye Liuyun and flew straight toward him.

Ye Liuyun activated his Golden Pupil to observe the Supreme Emperor's realm.

He discovered a clump of black qi hidden within the Supreme Emperor's Nascent Core. He recognized that black qi—it was the energy of the Foreign Tribe.

"So that's it!" Ye Liuyun thought, instantly understanding why the Supreme Emperor opposed him.

"He has already defected to the Foreign Tribe. But when did he first come into contact with them? Or has he been in contact for a long time, constantly lying low?"

The black qi in the Supreme Emperor's Nascent Core was extremely dense, indicating his realm had risen to the Ninth Level of Heavenly Sovereign, likely borrowing considerable power.

However, he concealed it so well that no one had detected it. Moreover, ordinary people cannot reach him, let alone disturb his cultivation.

Ye Liuyun immediately created a clone to inform Zhuge Feiyu and Xia Tianqiong of this news.

"Unbelievable! Grand Emperor has everything; why defect to the Foreign Tribe?" Xia Tianqiong pondered helplessly.

"Isn't it just to raise his realm?" Zhuge Feiyu guessed: "His cultivation hit a bottleneck; the higher the realm, the harder the progress, so he borrowed the Foreign Tribe's evil power!"

Ye Liuyun thought the same.

Although the Supreme Emperor had abdicated, the dynasty was still theirs, so nothing else was lacking. The only thing he couldn't achieve himself was further realm advancement.

In the blink of an eye, the Supreme Emperor appeared before Ye Liuyun.

"You are Ye Liuyun?" he asked.

"It's me!" Upon learning the Supreme Emperor had already defected to the Foreign Tribe, he was too lazy even to address him respectfully, let alone bow.

"Uncultured creature, you don't bow when you see me? Or have you already harbored rebellion?" the Supreme Emperor was still looking for an excuse to strike.

Ye Liuyun calmly replied: "I will not bow like a Kuailei who defected to the Foreign Tribe!"

"What?" the Supreme Emperor was also stunned, apparently not expecting Ye Liuyun to know he had defected.

"You dare frame me? You should know the dynasty belongs to our Xia family; why would I defect to the Foreign Tribe?"

He thought perhaps Ye Liuyun was just guessing wildly.

"The reasons are beyond my concern. But the Foreign Tribe's evil qi in your Nascent Core cannot be a fake!"

Although no one stood beside him, many Martial Cultivator masters had their Divine Sense probing this side, curious why the Supreme Emperor targeted Ye Liuyun.

Thus Ye Liuyun also knew their words would be heard by others.

The Supreme Emperor held back for this reason, intending to keep lurking, but Ye Liuyun's remark caught him off guard.

He tried to block further, but it was futile.

He glanced at the distant Leaders, thinking coldly: "Fine, these people will die eventually anyway; after killing Ye Liuyun, I'll eliminate them too."

He let out a cold laugh and ceased further entanglement over the matter.

"Let me ask you, among the resources left by the War God, is there a key?"

That key is the key to the Divine Realm, but he had no clue, so he wanted to confirm with Ye Liuyun.

"Huh? He's actually looking for the key to the Divine Realm!" Ye Liuyun felt a stir.

For a human traitor already controlled by the Foreign Tribe, Ye Liuyun would never allow him to reach the Divine Realm and gain power.

"I don't know anything about the War God's resources!" Ye Liuyun flatly denied taking anything from the War God.

"Hmph, trying to play dumb with me? You'd better confess honestly; perhaps I can spare your family and friends. Otherwise, when you die, they'll quickly be buried with you!" the Supreme Emperor threatened.

"Many have threatened me, and none met a good end!" Ye Liuyun smiled faintly.

Now the news of the Supreme Emperor being tainted by the Foreign Tribe had spread; Zhuge Feiyu and Xia Tianqiong were disseminating it.

The Supreme Emperor will soon become a public enemy of the entire Zhongyang Dalu; even Emperor Xia cannot protect him.

For anyone who defects to the Foreign Tribe, Ye Liuyun will certainly not let this disaster remain.

"Consider yourself, and think how you'll answer the world! A Supreme Emperor of a generation, just to raise his realm, defected to the Foreign Tribe!" Ye Liuyun mocked.

"Ha ha, anyone who knows this will eventually die!" the Supreme Emperor glanced again at the distant Leaders, sending a shiver through them.

They never imagined the Supreme Emperor had defected to the Foreign Tribe.

Ye Liuyun told him: "You don't need to look at them; I've already sent the news back to Zhongyang Dalu. Now the whole continent knows you're a Kuailei of the Foreign Tribe!"

Ye Liuyun also feared he would act against those Leaders.

"So what? In the martial world, the strong dominate! Who dares oppose me?" the Supreme Emperor said indifferently.

Since the news had already spread, he simply stopped covering it up.

The evil aura within his Nascent Core was released, instantly making his whole being appear utterly wicked, evoking immediate disgust.

"Perhaps!" Ye Liuyun thought his words weren't without reason.

His realm was already the strongest on this continent; indeed, perhaps no one dared challenge him.

Ye Liuyun also sensed the Supreme Emperor's Soul; it was comparable, at least giving him a chance to contend.

Moreover, previously he hadn't been able to deal with the Supreme Emperor.

But because of the evil aura in his Nascent Core, Ye Liuyun no longer worried.

The Sealing Demon Tablet can perfectly suppress him!

Thus even if the Supreme Emperor exerts pressure, he remains unafraid.

"If you don't want to speak, then I can only kill you first, and then find it myself?"

The Supreme Emperor, seeing that Ye Liuyun couldn't swallow oil or salt, had already decided to strike at Ye Liuyun.

"I heard your Physical Body is very robust; I actually want to see how many of my palm strikes you can withstand."

The Supreme Emperor sneered, deliberately and slowly condensing his Qi to pressure Ye Liuyun psychologically.
