Chapter 624

What's more, if word of this last-minute defection were to spread,

when the Great Dragon Chief decides to unify the realm in the future, there would likely be even more people willing to surrender before the battle.

The Divine General is the Qinglong Society's living billboard for recruiting defectors from the outside!

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao!"

Once he defected, the Divine General immediately considered himself a man of the Qinglong Society, casually killed several Divine Envoys, and brought the Water God King over,

"Mr. Xiao, this is the Water Clan Chief, the Water God King. Rumor has it that the Water God Ancestor is also a guest elder of the Qinglong Society…"

435 The Immortal God Turns Out to Be a Villain!

Everyone present was somewhat shocked at how swiftly the Divine General had switched sides.

To defect, he had directly killed men of the Soul-Searching Palace and rescued the Water God King, who had ties with the Qinglong Society.

"The Water Clan Chief pays his respects to Mr. Xiao…"

The Water God King did not dare call himself a god in front of these big-shot powerhouses.

"So you are descendants of the Water God Ancestor.

Your ancestor had a very good relationship with the Seventh Dragon Chief, and holds a high position in the Qinglong Society.

By the way, where are the rest of your clansmen?

If they are willing, they may follow this seat and return to the Qinglong Society together."

Xiao Aoshi, hearing they were men of the Water God Ancestor and seeing the Water God King was quite tactful, treated him rather well.

It would have been better not to mention it—the moment it was brought up, the Water God King's eyes instantly reddened.

A grown, big-boned man immediately burst into tears, sobbing as if his heart were being torn apart,

"Mr. Xiao, my Water Clan once numbered over a thousand souls; now I fear fewer than a hundred survive.

They were all slaughtered to the last by those beasts of the Soul-Searching Palace!"

Xiao Aoshi, hearing this, looked astonished and turned to ask the Divine General,

"Is this true?"

The Divine General's face was awkward; back when the Water Clan was suppressed and killed, he had been the one leading the charge.

The hands he now held were stained with no small amount of Water Clan blood.

Fortunately, he had not raised a hand against the Water God King himself.

The one who defeated the Water God King was the Second Blade Emperor.

Hearing Xiao Aoshi's question, he immediately replied,

"Reporting to Mr. Xiao, it is indeed true!"

"The ones who raised their hands—apart from you—none of the other Soul-Searching Palace men may be spared."

When Xiao Aoshi was the Great Boss, he had already been a ruthless and vicious man.

At this moment he also issued the order without the slightest hesitation.

"As you command!"

The Divine General cupped his fist in acknowledgment, then charged into the remaining ranks of the Soul-Searching Palace Divine Envoys like a tiger or wolf among sheep.

The Divine Envoys of the Soul-Searching Palace had been fighting nonstop all day—by now, some were already dead in battle.

Those still alive were utterly exhausted.

And not a single one among them possessed cultivation at the Supreme Mythical Realm.

Now the Divine General, to save himself, had turned his blade and come straight at them.

None of the remaining Divine Envoys could withstand him.

After a token resistance, the surviving Divine Envoys immediately scattered and fled like stars.

In the blink of an eye, the once immensely powerful and glorious Soul-Searching Palace had been brought to the very brink of collapse.

God Xiao Qing stood beside Miss Xue Yuan, the two of them unmoved.

Old Fahai and his disciple Fazhi stood together, and no one stopped them either.

The Six Dragon-Slaying Warriors would certainly not lift a hand to save the Soul-Searching Palace Divine Envoys and make an enemy of the Qinglong Society.

The Divine General was moreover the very one wielding the blade himself, and the Left and Right High Priests had already fallen.

At this point, who was there left to stop him!

Watching Bu Jingyun glanced at the scene below, smiled coldly, and prepared to take Long Yuan and leave.

But just then, a heaven-shaking roar suddenly came from above.

The next instant, the field of black ice that had frozen a hundred li of space suddenly shattered apart.

Then Seeing Di Shitian's figure actually came tumbling down from the high sky.

"How could this be?"

The Xiao brothers exchanged glances.

Seeing Di Shitian's cultivation was already at its full peak.

Moreover, after a trip to the Scripture Pavilion, he had even broken through further.

Under heaven, few could defeat him.

Master Changsheng's strength was even below his.

Why had Seeing Di Shitian, who had held every advantage, suddenly suffered defeat?

"Not good!"

Old Fahai, who had been sitting calmly and watching the fire from across the river, suddenly changed expression drastically,

"That damned false god—he actually went back on his word."

"Teacher, you mean he used the Divine Stone?"

Fazhi heard the meaning behind Old Fahai's words, and his face also turned ugly as he asked.

"Exactly! He threatened this old monk into doing three things for him, and after that he would stop scheming for the Divine Stone.

Who would have thought this person was so shameless — this old monk had clearly devoted himself to helping him wholeheartedly.

Even that matter of slaying the dragon cost him boundless true essence and even lifespan to divine for him.

Yet he still would not give up, and actually took out the Divine Stone!"

Old Fahai was deeply worried, yet utterly helpless.

At this moment Seeing Di Shitian had already landed nearby, the Dark Ice on his body having completely collapsed.

Happening to overhear Old Fahai's words, he could not help but ask,

"The Divine Stone you speak of — is it perhaps a begging bowl?"

"Exactly! He really did bring out the Divine Stone…"

Old Fahai confirmed once more.

"What on earth is the Divine Stone?"

Everyone looked over.

The Divine General, seeing the change of events, had no heart left to hunt down the Divine Envoy, and instead fled directly toward the Nine Provinces.

To preserve his life, he had not hesitated to kill the Divine Envoy, wanting to defect to the Qinglong Society.

But now the God of Immortality had brazenly deployed the Divine Stone, and even Seeing Di Shitian had been defeated by him.

When the God of Immortality settled accounts later, he feared his life would certainly not be spared.

Either way it was a dead end; the Divine General felt that whether it was the Soul-Searching Palace or the Qinglong Society, he could not stay.

He could only flee back to the Nine Provinces and seek another way out.

The attention of the crowd here was also drawn by what Old Fahai had said.

So it turned out this so-called Divine Stone actually originated from an ancient legend.

Legend had it that long, long ago, the heavens crumbled and the earth split.

The ancient great goddess Nüwa, in order to mend the heavens, refined the Five-Colored Divine Stones.

After she finally finished mending them, a few stones were left over.

These few Divine Stones fell into the mortal world and transformed into four strange stones.

Divine Stone, Ice Soul, Black Chill, and White Dew — these were the names of the four great strange stones.

Bu Jingyun's Absolute Good Sword was actually forged long ago from the strange stone Black Chill.

And the Snow-Drinking Blade in Nie Renwang's hand was precisely the strange stone White Dew.

And what the God of Immortality had used to shatter Seeing Di Shitian's Dark Ice domain was the most formidable of them — the strange stone Divine Stone.
