Chapter 2420: Chu Kuangren's Secret Force, Pan Gu Sect's Wealth, Here It Comes
When Dao Lingtian showed up, Mingyue Wuxia shot a contemptuous glance at him and said, "As a traitor of the human race, you're not worthy to be my opponent."
Her comment made Dao Lingtian's expression turn grim. "Since when did I become a traitor to the human race? I fight Chu Kuangren, and that makes me a traitor?"
"You can stand against the Sect Leader, but you teamed up with the foreign tribes and tried to snatch the human race's fortune energy to share it with them. Doesn't that make you a traitor?" Mingyue Wuxia said with a frosty grunt.
"Cut the nonsense. We must eliminate them before we go after Chu Kuangren!" the Spatial One said and quickly unleashed his attacks.
Dao Lingtian pondered for a moment before he attacked without hesitation.
The moment he unleashed his attack, violet qi shrouded the sky.
Someone in the crowd condemned his action when they saw the scene. "Hmph! Dao Lingtian attacked!" "What a shameless bastard!"
"How dare he claim to be the second-best Divine Bachelor of the human race?"
The human cultivators were infuriated by Dao Lingtian's actions.
If they were not so weak, they would have rushed in to fight him. Dao Lingtian overheard them, and his expression turned bitter. He had to take a deep breath to force himself to calm down.
"When I get Chu Kuangren's fortune energy, everything will change!"
"I am right! When I get stronger, all the criticism will disappear!"
Dao Lingtian's gaze gradually grew determined. History books were written by the victors. When he beat Chu Kuangren, he would be able to determine the traitor and the hero.
"Bang!"
While the Pan Gu Sect's Monarchs fought the Spatial One and company, the other Monarchs, including Yuan Wuwang, were talking in the void. "Should we intervene?"
"How dare he claim to be the second-best Divine Bachelor of the human race?"
"No need to rush it. Chu Kuangren hasn't appeared yet."
"That's right."
"Our target is Chu Kuangren. As for the Pan Gu Sect, let the Spatial One deal with them. We just have to make sure they won't leave."
"We still need them as bait."
...
While Chu Kuangren was exploring the Fortune Earth World, his temples suddenly twitched.
It was as if something bad was about to happen.
"What's going on? This feeling... Is someone trying to set me up again? Or is someone targeting the people close to me?" Chu Kuangren asked himself.
"Swoosh!"
A figure appeared before him and knelt on one knee.
If someone else saw the scene, they would be surprised because the one kneeling before Chu Kuangren was a Monarch, not a Human Monarch but a Monarch from another tribe.
"Temple Lord, I've finally found you. The Spatial One and company are targeting the Pan Gu Sect. They have set up a trap for you," said the Monarch respectfully.
He called Chu Kuangren Temple Lord, which meant he was from the Divine Destiny Temple.
Chu Kuangren was the Sect Leader of the Pan Gu Sect and had allies like the Devil Tribe and the Radiant Tribe, but that was just the cover.
He secretly had another force under his control — the Divine Destiny Temple.
Chu Kuangren had never stopped gathering forces over the years.
The ancient cultivators who once made a deal with the temple were being recruited under the temple's banner, serving him in return for what they were promised.
Some of them were Monarchs, including the man kneeling before him.
"I see. No wonder I have that strange feeling," Chu Kuangren muttered.
His gaze suddenly turned frosty. "If they have the nerves to go after the Pan Gu Sect, they must be prepared. Tell Space Emperor and the others to be prepared. Be on standby and don't do anything first. Wait for my arrival."
"Yes, sir."
A number of cultivators from the Divine Destiny Temple had arrived in the Fortune Earth World, including the Space Emperor.
With his secret team in command on top of his own strength, no matter what the Spatial One had in store for him, he did not mind playing along.
"Swoosh!"
Chu Kuangren's figure disappeared from the spot.
The Monarch did not even notice how Chu Kuangren disappeared. Astonished, he muttered, "Is that some kind of Spatial technique? How powerful is the Temple Lord exactly?"
Even though he was a Monarch, he could not see through Chu Kuangren. He felt like a mortal standing in front of the biggest mountain in the world before him.
"Spatial One, you could've done everything else in the universe, but you just had to set the Temple Lord up..." the Monarch muttered and sighed before he left to contact the others.
...
"Bang!"
Boundless spatial energy clashed with intense sword qi.
Mingyue Wuxia and the Spatial One were both pushed back, but a violet qi was then blasted at her from the back.
It was Dao Lingtian who ambushed her.
However, before the violet qi could hit her, a light arrow hit it, shattering the violet qi.
Lan Yu glared at Dao Lingtian. "The second-best Divine Bachelor of the human race ambushes someone from the back? You're no better than a strand of Master's hair!"
"How dare you say that!" Dao Lingtiann was infuriated.
They praised Chu Kuangren as if the man were a god, yet they looked down on him as if he were nothing.
Was Chu Kuangren truly much more powerful than him, even if he was already a Monarch?
"Violet Qi Burst, Three Thousand Miles!" Dao Lingtian attacked with a palm strike, detonating his violet qi across the land.
Lan Yu countered with her strongest attack.
Meanwhile, Zhu Yang fought Chu Hong, Yang Mei, and Shang Honghua.
All kinds of divine abilities were flying about.
As the chaotic battle continued, the scale grew larger, and the situation grew fiercer.
"Lan Yu, we're here to help!" A loud call came from further away.
Multiple figures flew in to assist Lan Yu.
They were Ye Zhu, Jue Wushen, Desire Flower, and Yu Zhi.
They were not yet Monarchs, but they had manifested their own Daoist law energy. In addition to their Hongmeng Supreme Treasure, they could unleash powers that rivaled common Monarchs.
Their addition managed to put slight pressure on the Spatial One and the others.
In the void, a Celestial Divine Monarch was infuriated when he saw the reinforcements.
"The Hongmeng Supreme Treasures they're wielding belong to the Celestial Divine Tribe! That's our Sky Heaven Sword! That's also our saber, the Void Slasher! Damn it! Damn you, Chu Kuangren!"
The Celestial Divine Monarch was infuriated. Many years ago, Chu Kuangren raided the Celestial Divine Tribe's treasure vault and looted all their treasures.
It was a huge humiliation to the tribe.
Chu Kuangren then distributed the treasures to the cultivators of the Pan Gu Sect, who were not yet Monarchs. How insulting!
Many other cultivators were surprised as well.
"The Pan Gu Sect is rich with all the weapons!"
"Yeah! Everyone has a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure."
"I'm jealous!"
The Celestial Divine Monarch could not stand it any longer. He stepped out of the void and threw a punch at Yu Zhi. "Give it back!"
He did not hold back with the punch.
Even with the Hongmeng Supreme Treasure, Yu Zhi could not withstand the attack. Although she might not die in the Fortune Earth World, she would be eliminated.
"Hmph!"
Suddenly, a frosty grunt sounded.
A sword qi was shot at the Celestial Divine Monarch, perforating his chest and dragging him more than ten thousand kilometers away.
Pinned on a mountain by the sword qi, he was covered in blood, and the Great Dao in him almost shattered.
One sword qi was all it took to disable a Monarch entirely.
"He's here."
Back in the void, Yuan Wuwang narrowed his eyes sharply.
