Inside the Dark Temple, a profound silence fell.
Countless professionals from the Empire Guild surrounded Zhang Yue, yet none dared to approach him!
Even Xu Aiguo, who was watching from the sidelines, was utterly shocked.
He never imagined that Zhang Yue’s strength was so formidable that even the entire Empire Guild couldn’t shake him!
The audience in various live broadcast rooms were also dumbfounded.
“This guy… is he really this strong?”
“Is this a newly emerged professional? Even the early strength of the Mythic Grade Professional Ghost Swordsman Alpha from Beacon Country wasn’t this exaggerated!”
“Wow! Zero is so amazing, I really like him!”
“You like a traitor? First, he killed the Guild Leader of the Empire Guild, and now he’s publicly killed so many from the Empire Guild. This guy is undeniably a traitor!”
On the field, Liu Sheng looked around at the people who dared not move, feeling a bit panicked himself.
But he quickly regained his composure.
Pointing at Zhang Yue, he shouted angrily, “Do you know what you’re doing? You’ve committed treason!”
“You dare to openly kill the Ice Emperor’s people, you’re blatantly betraying our Dragon Kingdom! You traitor, you’re unworthy of being one of us!”
Zhang Yue looked at Liu Sheng and said calmly, “Who is the real traitor, don’t you have a clue?”
Liu Sheng was momentarily stunned.
Then he firmly accused, “Of course, it’s you! You traitor!”
As if feeling his accusation alone lacked impact, Liu Sheng then shouted to the onlookers, “Zero is a traitor! He must be an enemy spy planted in our Dragon Kingdom. The assassin who attacked our newly emerged professionals a few days ago was brought by him!”
The crowd, swayed by Liu Sheng’s words and the fact that Zhang Yue was opposing the Empire Guild, began to curse Zhang Yue:
“Traitor! Get out of our Dragon Kingdom!”
“Such a person deserves to die! Kill him!”
“Kill him!”
The cries echoed in unison.
The Empire Guild members also shouted loudly:
“Our Guild Leader came to protect you, yet you killed him, you scoundrel!”
“Blood for blood, we must use your life to avenge Guild Leader Xu Bei!”
Lin Tian, Wu Haotian, and Ouyang Ling’er were all at a loss.
At this moment, several major guilds’ professionals surged into the Dark Temple!
Looking around, it was clear they were from the Tian Family and Chen’s Army, the three major families of Tianjing!
And also from Mist Rain Pavilion and Supreme Guild, who came all the way from Zhening!
Led by Tian Xin’er, Chen Long, Su Jinyan, and Liu Yao.
Thousands of professionals from the four major guilds surrounded the Empire Guild members!
In the inner circle, Liu Sheng was shocked.
“What are you doing? Are you rebelling?”
Mist Rain Pavilion’s Guild Leader Su Jinyan, with a fiery expression, said, “I believe Zhang Yue could never be a traitor!”
Supreme Guild’s Guild Leader Liu Yao, afraid others wouldn’t see him, stood high on Li Xiaoyao’s shoulders and shouted, “I’ve never seen anyone more upright than my big brother. Someone must be envious and deliberately framing him!”
The necessary explanations were already given by Su Jinyan and Liu Yao.
Tian Xin’er and Chen Long, sharing the same stance, demonstrated their strength: “This is Tianjing, if you Empire people want to touch our people on our territory, you need our permission!”
“Rebellion!” Liu Sheng shouted angrily, “Defending this traitor, do you all want to betray the Dragon Kingdom?”
Meanwhile, the live broadcasters were fervently narrating:
“Folks! The situation has taken a dramatic turn! The Tian Family and Chen’s Army from the three major families of Tianjing, and people from Zhening, have personally come to protect Zero!”
“It seems an epic battle is inevitable!”
The number of viewers in the live broadcast rooms skyrocketed!
The situation had escalated to a point where only war could resolve it!
Liu Sheng, however, was smug about it: “Yes, the bigger the commotion, the better. Let the whole country know you’re a traitor. Even if we can’t kill you, public opinion will crush you!”
“Hmph, Zero, let’s see what you have against my Empire!”
Just as tensions were about to erupt into war, a shout suddenly rang out: “Stop!”
Looking towards the source of the voice, Liu Sheng’s smile froze, replaced by endless surprise and disbelief!
Because the person walking towards them was a warrior in white armor… Xu Bei!
“Guild Leader!?”
Around them, the Empire Guild members were shocked to see Xu Bei.
Amidst their shock, they were overjoyed: “The Guild Leader isn’t dead! That’s great!”
Only Liu Sheng and Xu Aiguo felt their hearts race, as if facing a great enemy.
“He’s not dead? How is that possible!”
Liu Sheng stared incredulously at the person who looked exactly like Xu Bei, filled with terror.
Because if Xu Bei was alive, it meant: he was doomed!
“You… you’re not dead?”
Facing Liu Sheng’s question, Xu Bei walked over, smiled calmly, and said, “Sorry to disappoint you.”
The next second, Xu Bei pointed at Liu Sheng in front of everyone and said, “Zero is not a traitor, the real traitor is him!”
“He was the one who tried to kill me!”
The crowd gasped.
“What… what’s going on?”
“A plot twist? Damn! The Vice President of the Empire Guild killed their Guild Leader and framed Zero?”
Everyone present was utterly shocked.
Only Zhang Yue remained calm and composed.
As if everything was within his expectations.
Perhaps thinking Xu Bei’s testimony wasn’t strong enough, Zhang Yue said, “Let me show you something.”
With that, Zhang Yue used a projection function to display a video.
The video showed the scene inside the Monster Nest dungeon, where Liu Sheng backstabbed Xu Bei, collaborating with a group of black-clad assassins to kill Xu Bei!
Liu Sheng suddenly felt darkness before his eyes, his legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed!
He never dreamed: not only was Xu Bei alive, but Zhang Yue had also recorded the evidence!
So, everything he had done to suppress Zhang Yue since leaving the Monster Nest dungeon was like a clown jumping around?
With ample evidence proving his innocence, Zhang Yue didn’t even bother to refute the online rumors. From Liu Sheng’s perspective now, he truly was a clown!
After watching the video and hearing Xu Bei’s testimony, the Empire Guild professionals pointed their blades at Liu Sheng!
“Who would’ve thought, the one who killed the Guild Leader was you!”
“Vice President, why did you do this? Why attack the Guild Leader, and why frame Zero?”
At this moment, Ouyang Ling’er stood up: “Because he is the traitor!”
Finally, Ouyang Ling’er understood why Zhang Yue had remained so calm in the face of online rumors.
Standing beside Zhang Yue, she addressed the surrounding people: “Your Vice President colluded with Japan, sent assassins to kill our Dragon Kingdom’s participants, murdered your Guild Leader, and framed our Guild Leader to kill him!”
“He is the real traitor!”
At this point, Liu Sheng knew it was useless to explain further.
But he had one question.
Looking at Xu Bei, he asked, “How did you survive? Zero had no chance to save you, and those assassins with your Resurrection Scroll were impossible to kill…”
Xu Bei replied indifferently, “Because the one who saved me wasn’t an ordinary person.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a warrior clad in golden armor, exuding an aura of strength, stepped out from the crowd.
This golden-armored warrior was none other than the Legendary Grade Professional: Sword Emperor Luo Chen!
He was also from the Temple of Destiny!
At this moment, not only Liu Sheng but even Xu Aiguo in the distance was taken aback!
Their seemingly flawless plan had been under Zhang Yue’s control all along…
Simultaneously, Xu Aiguo began to panic…
