“That beast…”
Looking at the All-Heavens Sect leader again, Chu Feng gritted his teeth in anger, his eyes brimming with killing intent.
If his strength allowed, Chu Feng would have immediately stepped through the teleportation gate to confront the All-Heavens Sect leader and teach him a harsh lesson.
But he was self-aware. He knew his current strength was no match for the sect leader.
Yet, after this thought, Chu Feng turned his gaze to Zhao Hong.
Then, a trace of joy emerged on his furious face.
“Doesn’t that mean Zhao Hong now possesses cultivation not inferior to a Fourth-Rank Supreme?”
Chu Feng had seen with his own eyes how the All-Heavens Sect leader’s attack on Han Xiu was neutralized.
And after that attack was dispelled, Zhao Hong had stepped out of the war chariot.
During this time, Han Xiu hadn’t made any moves, and her aura hadn’t changed at all.
All signs pointed to one thing: it was Zhao Hong who had blocked the All-Heavens Sect leader’s attack.
But what exactly was Zhao Hong’s cultivation level? That remained unknown.
“You… you’re not dead?”
Finally, the All-Heavens Sect leader spoke.
Looking at Zhao Hong, his face was filled with unconcealed fear.
He could barely stand, nearly falling from the sky.
“Sect Leader.”
Fortunately, an elder from the All-Heavens Sect, quick to act, rushed to his side and supported him.
Otherwise, the strongest figure in the All-Heavens Star Domain would have made a fool of himself.
But the sect leader didn’t care about his appearance at that moment. His gaze remained fixed on Zhao Hong, filled with fear but also a hint of vigilance.
“You’re not dead, so how could my master be?”
“Liu Shuo, today, you’ll pay for what you owe.”
Han Xiu pointed at Liu Shuo and declared loudly.
“Master?”
“The leader of the Red-Clothed Holy Land is calling her master?”
“And the All-Heavens Sect leader seems to recognize her. Who is she?”
At that moment, many in the crowd speculated about Zhao Hong’s identity.
“She is Zhao Hong, the daughter of the Reincarnation Sect’s leader from years ago.”
As the crowd puzzled, an elder spoke up.
Though many years had passed, and most had never seen Zhao Hong, the older generation remembered her face.
“Zhao Hong? She’s Zhao Hong?”
“So she was the one betrothed to the All-Heavens Sect leader?”
“But wasn’t she dead?”
Upon learning Zhao Hong’s identity, the vast crowd erupted.
In their minds, Zhao Hong had been dead for years.
And that era was quite distant from the present.
“Of course my master couldn’t die, not while this vile Liu Shuo still lives.”
“Everyone thought that in the battle between the All-Heavens Sect and the Reincarnation Sect, the latter was at fault.”
“But in truth, the Reincarnation Sect never had any ambition to seize the All-Heavens Star Domain.”
“It was all a scheme by the All-Heavens Sect. Even Liu Shuo’s marriage to my master was a plot.”
“If Liu Shuo hadn’t poisoned the Reincarnation Sect’s experts on their wedding day, the All-Heavens Sect could never have destroyed them.”
As the crowd was confused, Han Xiu spoke.
Her voice thundered, and her words caused a massive uproar.
What she said was completely different from what they knew.
Looking at the terrified expression of the All-Heavens Sect leader, everyone shared the same thought.
Could it be that what they knew about the All-Heavens Sect and the Reincarnation Sect wasn’t the truth?
Was the truth as Han Xiu described?
That the All-Heavens Sect had acted despicably, scheming against the Reincarnation Sect?
And thus secured its position as the overlord of the All-Heavens Star Domain?
If this was true, it was absolutely explosive news.
“Xiu’er, stop talking.”
But at that moment, Zhao Hong spoke.
Her words puzzled not only Han Xiu but everyone else.
Why would Zhao Hong stop Han Xiu from continuing?
Wasn’t she here to reveal the truth and seek revenge on Liu Shuo?
But as the crowd was confused, Zhao Hong spoke again.
“Let him tell the truth from back then.”
Suddenly, Zhao Hong turned her gaze to Liu Shuo.
Under her stare, Liu Shuo’s body trembled visibly, shaking violently.
“If you don’t want to die, tell it yourself.”
Zhao Hong’s gaze grew colder.
“I… I’ll talk, I’ll talk.”
What followed was the most unbelievable scene. Liu Shuo actually confessed the truth.
In front of the All-Heavens Sect disciples, the various forces of the All-Heavens Star Domain, and even the five major forces from other star domains, Liu Shuo held nothing back, recounting every detail of what happened back then.
“This…”
After hearing Liu Shuo’s words, all the elders and disciples of the All-Heavens Sect were dumbfounded.
They were once the noblest existences in this world.
But now, they could feel the disdainful gazes from all directions.
This made them feel utterly humiliated.
Why?
Why had it come to this?
Even if it was true, why confess it?
The elders and disciples of the All-Heavens Sect looked at their leader, unable to comprehend.
His words had practically doomed the All-Heavens Sect.
“I knew he wasn’t a good person, and I was right.”
“To think he could poison his wife and slaughter her entire family.”
“Now, in comparison, stealing the stone box’s power seems insignificant.”
At that moment, the Nine-Star Heavenly Mountain leader openly insulted the All-Heavens Sect leader without holding back.
While the leaders of the Wind-Thunder Sword Sect and the Miao Clan weren’t as blunt, their gazes towards the All-Heavens Sect leader had changed significantly.
As prominent figures, they valued their reputation.
Since the All-Heavens Sect leader had committed such despicable acts, they no longer wished to associate with him.
They had already decided in secret that, regarding the stone box incident, even if the All-Heavens Sect leader offered satisfactory compensation, they would dissolve their alliance with the All-Heavens Sect.
Undoubtedly, the All-Heavens Sect’s confession had changed everyone’s view of him and his sect, pushing them into an abyss of ruin.
It had utterly disgraced him.
Yet, he seemed utterly unconcerned about how others saw him or the consequences of his honest confession.
His gaze remained fixed on Zhao Hong, flickering with overwhelming fear.
Thud—
Suddenly, he broke free from the elder’s support and knelt in mid-air.
“Hong’er, I was wrong. I truly know I was wrong. Please spare me.”
Then, in front of everyone, he knelt and begged Zhao Hong for mercy across the void.
