Chapter 3792: Betrayal and Estrangement of All

Wang Tianqi narrowed his eyes: "So you're outwardly obedient but secretly defiant, cooperating with Ye Liuyun?"

Bai Yunmu calmly denied outright: "No, I have a principle as a human!"

His words clearly mocked that Wang Tianqi no longer had any principle. Yet Wang Tianqi let out a cold snort and continued to question.

"Regarding the monster passages, you didn't inform Ye Liuyun in advance? Then how did he preemptively prepare?" Wang Tianqi still couldn't figure out how Ye Liuyun controls those monster passages.

In his view, someone must have tipped off Ye Liuyun, and the most likely person was Bai Yunmu. Coupled with Bai Yunmu's attitude toward him, he concluded that Bai Yunmu had betrayed him.

Bai Yunmu forced a bitter smile, shook his head helplessly and said, "I truly didn't expect that after decades of loyal service, I would be suspected of betrayal by you, God King! No wonder you fail; it seems all of this was destined! Alas, my loyalty was misplaced!"

Wang Tianqi, hearing him claim his failure was destined, was incensed. As for whether Bai Yunmu was loyal, it no longer mattered; he would kill him today regardless.

"I've already sent Royal Palace guards to kill your family; none of them will escape. And you, how do you plan to die?" He didn't want to waste time with Bai Yunmu and was ready to act.

Bai Yunmu had already foreseen his end, showing little emotional fluctuation, even too lazy to speak further to Wang Tianqi. He muttered to himself that in his next life he must choose the right person, then ignited his True Essence and self‑detonated before Wang Tianqi.

Wang Tianqi coldly ordered a quick cleanup and then proceeded to summon the next minister.

Within the Royal City, some ministers had received the news early and began to flee. However, the city was sealed, so some ministers, even with their own guards, forced a breach, risking death to carve a path for their families.

Other major forces inside the Royal City also seized the chance to charge outward. Major powers on other Xingqiu rushed to escape in haste.

Not only these people, even the Royal City's garrison and Wang Tianqi's guard units had some who secretly became deserters. Some clever individuals had guessed Wang Tianqi would flee, unwilling to follow such a tyrant everywhere; after all, if Wang Tianqi's mood soured one day, their lives could be forfeit.

Some guards deliberately gave Bai Yunmu's family a leeway; Bai Yunmu was generally decent and cared for his guards, who held a good impression of him, so indeed some of his family managed to escape Wang Tianqi's clutches.

Unlike Wang Tianqi's mass betrayal, on Ye Liuyun's side, Martial Cultivators from across the lands rushed to the monster passages to gather, ready to contribute to slaying the monsters and defending their homes.

After receiving the news, Wàn Xīnghǎi and others returned to the Western Region Royal Mansion and joined the nearby Royal Mansion guard unit.

Inside the Royal City, Guǐ Sòu also sent a message to Ye Liuyun, informing him of the city's turmoil. The Eastern Region's Heavenly King and his family, having been treated as worthless by Wang Tianqi, actually survived the purge; Wang Tianqi was too lazy to act against them.

Guǐ Sòu was now preparing to strike Wang Tianqi. He knows Wang Tianqi so well that when he learned Wang Tianqi had sent the God King's children into the monster passages, he already guessed Wang Tianqi's intentions.

He is now contemplating how Wang Tianqi will escape and how he should intercept. Not knowing how much qi‑fortune Wang Tianqi still has, he dares not act rashly.

After receiving the news, Ye Liuyun also ordered Yu Xiaofeng to accelerate the army's advance. They encountered almost no obstacles; wherever they arrived, the defending forces surrendered outright, offering no resistance.

Now everyone knows the central dynasty has collapsed, and many even look forward to Ye Liuyun's army arriving quickly to take over, lest chaos erupts.

Because there is no merchant guild, supplies are scarce, and some Martial Cultivators have turned to marauding and robbery. Wherever Ye Liuyun's army arrives, they immediately suppress the rioters, and the merchant guild is reestablished, stabilizing supplies.

Thus, the garrisons on each Xingqiu and within the cities are effectively helping Ye Liuyun defend the cities, waiting for his takeover.

Within the monster world, the remaining few God King's children are barely holding on. But the onslaught of the demons…

…is more concentrated; the more they kill, the fewer they become.

When they could no longer withstand the demons' assault and tried to retreat, they found that the other side of the Teleportation Array had already been destroyed; they had no escape.

Only then did they realize Wang Tianqi had completely abandoned them. Yet surrendering to the demons is useless; to the demons, they are merely food and cultivation resources.

Thus they can only, with bitter resentment, fight to the death in a final battle.

As the ministers and God King's children in the Royal Palace were slain one by one, Wang Tianqi's qi‑fortune deteriorated; now he bears only a faint golden glow, his remaining qi‑fortune dwindling. Once he leaves the Royal Palace, that last bit will vanish completely.

He also knows his remaining time is short, so he immediately gathered all the guards and Royal Palace protectors. At that moment he realized half of them had already fled.

In a rage, he slapped the Guard Leader dead on the spot. He didn't realize this act chilled many of the guards.

At that moment, a booming crash erupted above the Royal Palace, a spatial portal opened, and demonic aura spilled out instantly.

"Heh, kill them all, Ye Liuyun, you're destined to get nothing."

He shouted hysterically, watching monsters pour out of the portal, giving no indication for the guards behind him to act.

Seeing the monsters bombarding everywhere and wrecking the Royal Palace, he nodded with satisfaction, released a Warship, and ordered the guards to leave with him.

A few guard captains exchanged glances and silently stepped back. The guard units they led gathered beside them, staying put.

"Hm? You intend to disobey?" Wang Tianqi glared, releasing a pressure wave that enveloped those guards.

However, his pressure was already faint, having little effect on the guards. Even if they resisted together, they wouldn't be frightened by him.

A guard captain bowed deeply and said, "I, humble servant, am willing to lead my unit to slay the demons, avenging the God King!"

Several other guard captains immediately did the same, each demanding to stay and kill the demons.

Then, without waiting for Wang Tianqi's reply, they drew weapons and rushed toward the portal, determined to slay the demons. They would rather die fighting the demons than flee with Wang Tianqi, wanting to give the dynasty their final effort.

Not only them, but also some stronger Royal Palace guards silently charged forward. Killing the demons, they were confident they could stay; if they left with Wang Tianqi, it would be a doomed exile.

"You're courting death!"

Wang Tianqi's eyes again showed a fierce glint, and he was about to strike these people. Recently the code conversion is severe, giving us more motivation, update faster, please click to exit reading mode. Thank you.
