Chapter 716 - 270: The Glory of the Divine Hidden Emperor Reborn (Part 2)

Yan Wusheng calculated meticulously, yet he didn’t notice that the massive mammoths in the sky had fragmented into dozens of tiny wolves.

These wolves, formed from water, darted swiftly through the forest, surrounding Yan Wusheng from all directions.

Trying to evade them, Yan Wusheng ran east, only to find water wolves there. Dodging westward, he saw more wolves.

In desperation, he was herded by the pack to an open field. Forced to stop, as he glanced around, he met countless beastly eyes formed by the power of thunder and lightning, and despairingly realized.

He had no escape.

A shadow of impending doom cast over Yan Wusheng’s face.

"...That little bastard!"

He turned towards the direction of the Black Triangle and shouted, "Huo Zui!"

When Huo Wen’an was sold to the Toy Pool, Yan Wusheng was still directly overseeing the Hell Palace, and he knew Huo Wen’an. Because of this, he never regarded Huo Wen’an seriously.

"Huo Zui! I wasn’t the one who sold you to the Toy Pool. If you want revenge, you should find the one who betrayed you! You suffered humiliation for three years in the Toy Pool, and you destroyed it last night, killing my four children. This debt should be settled!"

"Do you have to kill me to the last?" Yan Wusheng simply thought Huo Wen’an wanted to kill him to avenge the three years of humiliation.

Huo Wen’an stepped on the back of a mammoth, quickly arriving in front of Yan Wusheng.

He stood calmly before Yan Wusheng, chuckling softly, "Every grievance has a source, every debt a lender, you’re quite right."

Yan Wusheng looked baffled and bewildered.

"I never kill innocent people without cause. Yan Wusheng, do you really think I want to kill you because of that three-year imprisonment in the Toy Pool?"

Huo Wen’an posed the question, leaving Yan Wusheng dazed.

Yan Wusheng retorted, "Isn’t that the case?"

He pointed out, "My only connection with you was buying you as a Combat Doll years ago." Yan Wusheng didn’t recall any other entanglements or grudges with Huo Wen’an.

His eyes were filled with indignation, "Huo Zui, you should at least let me die knowing why."

"You can’t figure it out?" Huo Wen’an walked closer, the surrounding water wolves following suit. Their eyes shimmered with the light of thunder, not hiding their intent to kill Yan Wusheng.

Huo Wen’an stopped just a step away from Yan Wusheng, and the water wolves halted two meters from him.

The fear of being encircled by wolves was nothing compared to the intimidation of facing Huo Wen’an up close.

Relishing Yan Wusheng’s unease, Huo Wen’an finally spoke leisurely. "Everyone says that Old Palace Master Yan Wusheng of the Hell Palace was a traitor of the Eastern Alliance Army. Back then, to escape, he even defeated the encircling force of the Eastern Alliance and successfully fled to Bai Ze Island. Later, he killed the previous Old Palace Master, establishing his reign as hepleased."

"When your name is mentioned, everyone praises you as a formidable hero."

Hearing these words, Yan Wusheng was puzzled, not understanding what Huo Wen’an wanted to convey.

Huo Wen’an looked at him with an inscrutable expression and sneered, "But not many people know that your betrayal to the Eastern Alliance was a grand deception from the start!"

Yan Wusheng’s expression shifted, his eyes examined Huo Wen’an with a mix of intrigue and fear.

What does he know?

Huo Wen’an smiled elegantly, lowering his head to gaze directly into Yan Wusheng’s eyes, speaking in a hushed tone, "You never betrayed your Eastern Alliance Army. On the contrary, you were more loyal to your army and your Alliance Hierarch than anyone else."

"Betraying the Eastern Alliance was merely a smokescreen. In truth, you were the Alliance Hierarch’s most trusted subordinate. He dispatched you to Bai Ze Island, a place beyond the Three Great Alliances’ reach, to be an unshackled pawn capable of annihilating the Mortal World!"

Yan Wusheng’s face turned ashen, his lips quivered before he managed to ask in shock, "How do you know about this?"

This was the Eastern Alliance’s top secret!

How could Huo Zui know?

Could there be a traitor within the Alliance’s core group?

"How do I know?" Huo Wen’an’s tone abruptly changed, continuing, "Qu Yanling hasn’t delivered any new messages to you for a while, has she?"

Yan Wusheng’s pupils dilated again.

"Curious how I even know about Qu Yanling?" Huo Wen’an wore an amused expression.

Yan Wusheng watched Huo Wen’an warily, not daring to speak hastily.

Huo Wen’an said, "Qu Yanling’s parents were major thieves in the Divine Martial Realm, but Qu Yanling herself was a genius in the Eastern Alliance’s top Medical College’s virology department. She was just a pawn you carefully selected, right?"

"Capturing her parents, incarcerating her entire family in Black Water Town, then tempting her to seduce and manipulate the Eastern Alliance’s high management to steal the Boundary Crossing Permit and flee to the Mortal World. All of these were part of your plan."

"Sending her to the Mortal World to research mutation drugs to assist in your plan to cleanse the Mortal World, that was your true objective."

"Isn’t that right?"

After hearing Huo Wen’an’s words, Yan Wusheng’s heart was filled with dread.

He appeared dazed, yet his mind was racing.

After some reflection, Yan Wusheng realized the issue at hand.

"Huo Zui, Huo Zui..." he abruptly realized, exclaiming, "You’re from the Huo Family in the Mortal World!" The Huo Family was the true ruler of the Mortal World.

Qu Yanling’s operation failed, and since Huo Zui is a core member of the Huo Family, that’s how he knew all this.

In that case...

"Qu Yanling’s plan failed, and the Mortal World already sensed our scheme?" No wonder Qu Yanling hadn’t communicated any new information to them recently.

Huo Wen’an smiled slightly, "Congratulations, you got it right."

"Moreover." Huo Wen’an looked at Yan Wusheng’s face, which changed colors like a palette, plainly informing him, "My name isn’t Huo Zui, I am Huo Wen’an, the Leader of the Huo Family."

"Sir, in your next life, remember one thing when you reincarnate as a person."

Yan Wusheng raised an eyebrow, "What?"

Huo Wen’an took a step back, saying, "Not every toy can be bought or played with. Some toys, touching them leads to death."

After speaking, the water wolves behind Huo Wen’an lunged at Yan Wusheng.

As they reached Yan Wusheng, the water wolves turned into puddles, soaking his clothes, while the power of thunder embraced him.

Yan Wusheng screamed in agony.

His body charred by electricity, his internal organs reaching temperatures of thousands of degrees, Yan Wusheng quickly lost his vitality.

He lay rigid on the ground, staring at Huo Wen’an’s face in his final moments, his mind filled with countless questions.

That Qu Yanling was merely an agent fulfilling her duties, unaware of the true nature of her betrayal against the Eastern Alliance Army.

Their plan was so meticulous, even the old monsters of the Divine Hidden Alliance hadn’t discovered the truth. How had this Huo Wen’an found out?

Clearly, two years ago, Qu Yanling had sent news that the first batch of mutation drugs had already been injected into young children. Once those children mutated, chaos would ensue in the Mortal World, allowing her to inject the mutation drugs into more people.

Soon enough, all that Mortal World’s trash would transform into beasts.

Once the humans in the Mortal World had all become beasts, the divine spirit left by the Divine Hidden Emperor to protect them would also disappear.

Then, they could pass through the barrier, enter the Mortal World, slaughter all the beasts, and seize their lands!

With new lands, the Eastern Alliance could change their environment and continue to survive!

Everything was clearly heading in a positive direction.

Why did it fail?
