Chapter 1396: Jiujie Betrays the Qin

When Tan Tailan's words rang out, Divine Tiger King Zhao Zong and White Elephant King Zhu Yuan's eyelids jumped. They had looks of suspicion as they glanced towards the depths of Abyssal City. There was such a huge disturbance, yet Qin Jiujie refused to come out.

What did this mean? Was he truly guilty?

Zhao Zong then decided to speak, his voice booming. "Palace Master Jiujie, we'd like to invite you to show yourself. The White Elephant King and I will express our apologies if there has been any mistake."

Zhu Yuan nodded in agreement.

Everything was silent with only Zhao Zong's voice echoing throughout the area. There seemed to be no reaction coming from Abyssal City.

Qin Beiming, Qin Baiyan, Qin Yi, and the rest of those from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin began to turn pale. Meanwhile, within Abyssal City, chaos had ensued as some of the more alert experts had felt that something didn't seem right. They quickly attempted to leave.

Unfortunately, before they were able to do so, a frightening defensive ward began to shimmer into existence in the sky above the city, turning the entire city into a cage.

This meant that everyone was prevented from leaving.

Divine Tiger King Zhao Zong and White Elephant King Zhu Yuan had gloomy expressions on their faces. Qin Jiujie had chosen not to respond, and even the Blackwater Divine Transformation Formation had been activated. His actions had spoken for themselves.

"Qin Jiujie, you've made a mistake! The World's End River Region is a protective barrier for the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. How dare you collude with the Origin Reversion Institute and plot against us!" Zhao Zong growled.

In the skies above, the void rippled and a black-robed man appeared. Vast amounts of energy radiated from him and filled the world.

It was none other than Qin Jiujie.

There was an icy expression on his face and his gaze was full of hatred as he stared at Tan Tailan. If not for her, he would never have been forced into such a predicament. Escaping from this city would be a herculean task as he had to face off against a Greater Transcendent Duke and two Single Crowned Kings. He would undoubtedly be left at a disadvantage.

Qin Jiujie would not take actions that would put his life in danger.

The fact that Tan Tailan had appeared here meant that the Faceless Other King had been tracked. She definitely had some way to force him out.

Perhaps this was part of the Faceless Other King's plan to drag him under and force a decision out of him.

Thus, there was no need to bother with any superfluous words.

It was impossible to leave alone now.

He would harness the Blackwater Divine Transformation Formation to give himself an advantage.

Numerous experts in Abyssal City flew up into the sky. They stood atop the various pavilions and looked at Qin Jiujie with shifting expressions.

An expert with considerable experience from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin chimed in. "Palace Master, why have you activated the Blackwater Divine Transformation Formation? These are not our enemies."

"Could this be some sort of misunderstanding?"

"We beseech the Palace Master to deactivate the formation and invite them in for a talk."

It was clear that they all harbored hopes, but Qin Jiujie's expression remained indifferent as he said, "Li Jingzhe died and Tan Tailan popped up. The Dragon's Fang Lineage is truly detestable."

Qin Jiujie had already made his decision. From today onwards, he would give up his position as the leader of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin. Those words immediately caused the experts from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin to turn pale. His words essentially confirmed what Tan Tailan had said.

"Haha... Qin Jiujie... you have a decisive personality after all. The Origin Reversion Institute will definitely ensure that your future is limitless."

At this point, an inhuman cackle sounded out, and everyone could see a figure appearing behind Qin Jiujie.

The figure had no features on its face, a queer sight to behold.

It was the Faceless Other King.

His appearance frightened all the experts in Abyssal City; everyone felt as though they had been encased in the coldest ice.

Qin Jiujie truly was in cahoots with the Faceless Other King!

"Palace Master, you must be confused!" an expert from the previous generation shouted out in pain. The Origin Reversion Institute had harmed countless innocents in the World's End River Region, and the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent's powers had suffered greatly at their behest. The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin simply couldn't bear the consequences. They couldn't understand why Qin Jiujie would do such a thing.

"Noisy." The Faceless Other King waved its hand in irritation, and countless grayish-white pieces of skin fluttered downwards. Anyone who was touched by the skin was shocked to discover their facial features vanishing one by one. Despite the fact that the Faceless Other King had a crown destroyed by Tan Tailan, it was still more than capable of suppressing the entire city. Countless horrified shouts broke out in the city and the chaos intensified.

Qin Jiujie frowned when he saw this. However, he didn't say anything else. He had cut off all emotion and had already made the decision to abandon his role as the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin's leader.

Outside Abyssal City, Zhu Yuan and Zhao Zong understood that Tan Tailan had been speaking the truth when they saw the Faceless Other King.

EVerything that happened within the World's End River Region had been caused by the cooperation between Qin Jiujie and the Origin Reversion Institute.

"Qin Jiujie, aren't you afraid of Heavenly Emperor Qin's wrath?" Zhao Zong asked in disbelief.

"The elders of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin won't let you go either!" Zhu Yuan said heavily.

Tan Tailan nonchalantly added, "He's already chosen to side with the Origin Reversion Institute. He naturally does not care for Heavenly Emperor Qin. Furthermore, he probably started working with them a long time ago. Once someone chooses to embark on the Origin Reversion Institute's boat, they can never get off. My two acquaintances, the disturbances to the World's End River have not ended. The Tri-Pupil Enigmatic Fetus is still snooping around in the gap of the World's End River, and we must capture these two if we want to survive this disaster."

When Tan Tailan spoke, Zhao Zong and Zhu Yuan's expressions turned solemn. "We will follow Duke Lan's lead."

Qin Jiujie was a Dual Crowned King, and with the aid of the Blackwater Divine Transformation Formation, the two Single Crowned Kings would not be Qin Jiujie's opponent even if they worked together. Tan Tailan understood the two of them hoped that she would be the vanguard. That said, there wasn't anything to be worried about at this point. Their top priority was to capture the Faceless Other King and Qin Jiujie.

She thus took a step forward, and her eight Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds appeared. As the Duke Bergfrieds floated in the air, Transcendent Divine Mist surged out and condensed int a Transcendent Heavenly Throne, which gave off the aura of perfection.

The Transcendent Heavenly Throne floated majestically in the sky, attracting countless shocked and obsessed gazes.

This was the deepest desire of any Duke. Even the two Single Crowned Kings looked at it with respect.

Transcendent Dukes were basically a direct conduit between the heavens and the earth

It was something only the most talented and impressive people could attain.

This allowed them to defeat even Kings. Zhu Yuan and Zhao Zong similarly displayed the crowns they possessed. However, their usually dignified and glorious crowns seemed a little ordinary when compared to the perfect Transcendent Heavenly Throne.

The three revealed their strength immediately and condensed apocalyptic attacks without hesitation, sending them towards Abyssal City.

Qin Jiujie’s expression turned serious when he saw the furious assault of the trio.

"Faceless, I'll use the Blackwater Divine Transformation Formation to restrain them.

"As for Abyssal City..." He sucked in a deep breath and his gaze turned cruel.

"I'll leave it to you to do as you please!"
