Chapter 1370: Chapter 490: The Chessmasters (Part 4)

“I’ve always been puzzled, during the chaos of Inner Heavenly Dao I didn’t obtain the Heavenly Dao sequence, meaning I was merely resonating with Heavenly Dao. While Inner Heavenly Dao was in turmoil, Outer Heavenly Dao was always able to suppress it, yet The Faceless One appeared to block my entry into Lingxiao Hall, severing my resonance with the Heavenly Dao.

“The reason given to me then was the fear that Inner Heavenly Dao would contaminate me… Is this really reasonable?

“The divine spirits of Inner Heavenly Dao lost their source of incense and good deeds, logically, they should have dissipated directly, but they can live by relying on the power of the Sea of Blood, and now they are still active… Is this reasonable?

“Mo Linyuan has manipulated so many puppets, acting wantonly in the Northern Continent, if The Faceless One is truly the Heavenly Dao itself, would the Heavenly Dao itself not perceive this?

“For so many long years, the rapidly developing Outer Heavenly Dao has never moved to suppress the Inner Heavenly Dao!

“Is it because the Inner Heavenly Dao is part of the Heavenly Dao, a more primitive stage of Heavenly Dao! It’s the polluted part of the Heavenly Dao!

“And today, Maitreya used the Chaos Bell to abduct Xing Tian and other beings marked by Inner Heavenly Dao earlier, The Faceless One lied, it is known that the Chaos Bell most likely listens to you, yet Xing Tian and the others appeared in this illusionary realm constructed by the Inner Heavenly Dao…

“Once the door of suspicion is opened, I incessantly question myself with these questions, then eliminate all possibilities, leaving only the final answer.

“The master behind the Inner Heavenly Dao has always been you.

“The Faceless One is most likely the king of the divine spirits of the Inner Heavenly Dao, and it’s you! It can only be you who possesses a fragment of the Creation Jade Disc!

“You have always been telling me who the Transcender is, that a complete Heavenly Dao has a chance to transcend, now I have finally figured it out!”

“Alas!”

Hongjun stated calmly:

“You’ve said it all, it’s just a possibility, a speculation.

“Don’t throw dirt on me, even my bit of spotless reputation should be completely ruined by you.”

“I actually do have evidence.”

Li Ping’an slightly curled his lips and pointed to Xing Tian beside him.

He said, “Xing Tian appeared in the illusionary realm of the Inner Heavenly Dao, you can’t deny that, can you?”

Hongjun said, “So what if he did? This Poor Daoist merely intended to use him to promote the completion of Heavenly Dao.”

Li Ping’an smiled, “Xing Tian is unaffected by the Heavenly Dao, he is manifested from grievances, he followed your command to kill my father, and appeared in the illusionary realm of the Inner Heavenly Dao…”

Hongjun slightly frowned, “Twisting words and forcing logic, utter nonsense.”

“Alas,” the spirit in the coffin sighed lightly, “Disciple, take your Xuantian Tower and smash it over The Faceless One’s head, while I restrain him, once smashed he won’t be able to deny, if it’s a connivance of heavenly calculations then be it, why not dare to admit?”

Li Ping’an hoisted the Xuantian Tower and aimed it at The Faceless One.

In the pavilion, Hongjun closed his eyes with a faint sigh.

The Faceless One glowed with colorful lights around himself, and as a gentle power of Heavenly Dao circulated, his smooth and rounded mask slowly fell off, revealing his true face within.

Clad in a gray robe, identical to Hongjun.

Hongjun Evil Corpse!

The gray-robed old Daoist slightly shook his head, the corners of his mouth curled into a strange smile:

“Your Majesty, what can be done even if you guessed everything? Today’s situation is already unsolvable.

“I have indeed schemed, but those schemes were forced upon me by you, the teacher, and what I do is merely to save the heavens and the Desolate Era.

“Did your teacher not scheme?”

No sooner had he finished speaking than the whole illusionary realm gently shook, and a distant rumbling sound was heard.

Hongjun sneered, “Look, your teacher’s plot is unfolding, Kunpeng has already launched a general attack.”

The spirit in the coffin was momentarily stunned, then suddenly realized, could not help but look up and laugh, clapping unceasingly.

“So that’s how it is, marvelous! Today, you really recovered a lost ground! It turns out I did overlook a detail.”

Li Ping’an’s forehead was covered in black lines.

What kind of riddle are these two old fogeys playing?

But the gray-robed old Daoist lowered his head and made a bow, saying in a clear voice: “Report to Your Majesty, Kunpeng is attacking in force, hundreds of Innate Gods and Demons have surged into the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth!”

Li Ping’an blinked, his complexion suddenly turning somewhat pale.

The Phoenix Clan battle body of Kunpeng;

The second Primordial Spirit technique;

Five hundred Innate Gods and Demons;

Phoenix Clan Nirvana!

“Quick!” Li Ping’an instinctively wanted to order the gray-robed old man, “Let the Daoist Immortals retreat, do not kill those Innate Gods and Demons!”

Yet the gray-robed old man only shook his head with a smile.

“This matter is beneficial to the heavens and earth, this Poor Daoist cannot comply, Your Majesty, this Poor Daoist shall now hide, take good care.”

With that said, the body of the gray-robed old Daoist dissipated like smoke and dust.

The great calamity had arrived!
