70: For the sake of immense wealth, I will resort to all means to strike back!

Originally, the Pangolin and Donkey Head Demon's killing moves had already put immense pressure on the few individuals, leaving them no room for distraction.

Now, the Great Elder of Haoyue Immortal Sect's sudden betrayal made an already bad situation even worse.

"Great Elder of Haoyue Immortal Sect, you're actually serious!"

One of the elders' eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, his voice brimming with anger.

"Am I supposed to be joking?"

The Great Elder of Haoyue Immortal Sect snorted coldly, his eyes revealing determination and greed.

Facing a behemoth like the Xuan Clan, not becoming an Immortal Emperor ultimately meant only death.

As a Quasi-Emperor Expert, the Great Elder of Haoyue Immortal Sect, the longer he lived, the more he feared death.

And as the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances; as long as he could live, everything he did was worth it.

Even if it meant abandoning so-called power and status!

After all, after today, the entire Haoyue Immortal Sect would cease to exist; by then, everything would be but a fleeting cloud.

"You old scoundrel, you're so unethical, you want to use us to gain wealth!"

Another elder was furious, veins bulging on his forehead.

At this moment, facing the Great Elder of Haoyue Immortal Sect's betrayal, the other two elders instantly became enraged.

The two even completely forgot about the existence of the Pangolin and Donkey Head Demon, turning around to focus entirely on dealing with the Great Elder of Haoyue Immortal Sect.

If they were going to die, then they would die together; no one would have an easy time of it.

"I'll show you for betraying us, I'll show you for ambushing us!"

Under the powerful killing moves from the two elders' palms, the Great Elder of Haoyue Immortal Sect was momentarily forced onto the defensive, retreating repeatedly.

He struggled to cope, his forehead covered in sweat.

However, on the other side, the Sect Master of the Haoyue Immortal Sect, who was fighting the Pangolin and Donkey Head Demon alone, was in a miserable state.

Before she could even understand what was happening with the elders, she was severely wounded by a single strike, sent flying into the Ling Clan territory, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Xuan Tianchen looked at this scene, the corner of his mouth curving slightly, "Betraying at the front lines, interesting!"

A hint of playful amusement flickered in his blood-red eyes, as if he were watching a show.

Immediately after, Xuan Tianchen secretly transmitted a message: "You two, don't act yet, let's watch this play first!"

"Yes, my Lord."

In just a moment, the Pangolin and Donkey Head Demon, having received their orders, immediately retreated behind Xuan Tianchen.

Together, they quietly watched the members of the Haoyue Immortal Sect fight among themselves.

At this point, the Sect Master of the Haoyue Immortal Sect also leaped out of the ruins and into the air again.

However, she was somewhat disheveled, her Quasi-Emperor blood qi surging within her, and her aura was somewhat unstable.

Clearly, she had suffered severe injuries from that previous attack.

Fortunately, the retreat of the Pangolin and Donkey Head Demon gave her a chance to catch her breath.

She finally had the opportunity to turn her head and understand what was happening among the three elders.

"Three elders, with a formidable enemy before us, what are you three doing?" The woman's voice was filled with anger and confusion.

Hearing the Sect Master speak, the three of them also stopped their actions.

It was at this moment that Xuan Tianchen suddenly secretly transmitted a message to the Great Elder of Haoyue Immortal Sect who had betrayed them:

"You're very good. Take this opportunity to kill your Sect Master!"

Upon hearing this, a cold killing intent immediately flashed across the Great Elder of Haoyue Immortal Sect's eyes.

In his opinion, this was the pledge of allegiance Xuan Tianchen wanted from him.

As long as he killed the Sect Master now, he would survive and become Xuan Tianchen's subordinate.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh heartily in his mind: Hahaha, this immense fortune has finally fallen into my hands!

With that thought, before the other two elders could even speak, he had already appeared beside his Sect Master.

And immediately spoke, saying, "Sect Master, those two have already betrayed us. To save their lives, they actually attacked me from behind, disregarding martial ethics."

As he spoke, he didn't forget to clutch his chest, feigning severe injury and a dying appearance.

His expression was incredibly convincing, as if he had truly suffered immense harm.

"What! Is that true?" The woman was immediately astonished.

If things were truly so, then they were destined to perish here today!

Her eyes were filled with despair and disbelief.

The other two elders, seeing him twist the truth and spout nonsense, immediately roared, "What the hell are you talking about? You're a coward, you're the one who betrayed us!"

Their voices were practically screams, filled with extreme anger.

"Sect Master, be careful, this old scoundrel has already betrayed us; he's probably going to disrespect you now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before the woman could react, a large blade had already pierced through her chest from behind.

"Great Elder of Haoyue Immortal Sect, you actually ambushed me, stabbing me in the chest!" The woman's face was filled with disbelief! Her eyes were full of pain and disappointment.

"Sect Master, I'm sorry, but only by killing you all can I live!"

With that, he violently pulled out the great blade, causing a spray of blood; it was truly a white blade going in and a red blade coming out!

And with that stab, the Great Elder of Haoyue Immortal Sect felt a surge of satisfaction in his heart.

Years ago, she had snatched the position of Sect Master from him, forcing him to remain an elder, which had long bred resentment in his heart.

This stab that pierced her was truly exquisite!

Just as he was about to deliver another blow, the other two elders had already attacked him.

Therefore, he could only hastily retreat.

"Imperial Scion, I've already stabbed her once; killing her now will be as easy as turning over my hand!"

As he spoke, the Great Elder of Haoyue Immortal Sect quickly bowed to Xuan Tianchen, his face full of fawning smiles.

In his opinion, the pledge of allegiance had already been made.

As long as Xuan Tianchen allowed the Pangolin and Donkey Head Demon to join forces with him, they would easily take the heads of the three opponents.

By then, having allied himself with the Xuan Clan, that colossal entity, he would also rise swiftly in the world.

But he had, after all, thought too much... Xuan Tianchen merely looked down at him, saying indifferently, "This Imperial Son told you to kill her, but she still has a breath left. You can't even do such a simple thing well; you're not qualified to work for me at all!"

Xuan Tianchen's voice was cold and ruthless, like a bucket of cold water poured over the Great Elder of Haoyue Immortal Sect's head, causing his heart to sink and his face to turn ashen.

"Imperial Scion, you can't play like this! As long as Imperial Scion is willing to accept me, I will go through fire and water for Imperial Scion!"

The Great Elder of Haoyue Immortal Sect quickly pleaded, his voice filled with entreaty.

If Xuan Tianchen didn't want him, given the current situation, he would be the first to die.

After all, by himself, he was no match for the two elders of the Haoyue Immortal Sect, not to mention a Sect Master who was still alive.

"Oh! Are you serious?" Xuan Tianchen smiled faintly, but a hint of amusement flickered in his eyes.

"I have decided to follow Imperial Scion to the death; even if Imperial Scion asks me to die, I will not hesitate for a moment!"

As the Great Elder of Haoyue Immortal Sect spoke, his face was filled with resolute determination.

In his opinion, he was a Quasi-Emperor Expert, after all.

With his sincere allegiance, even Xuan Tianchen, as an Imperial Scion, would surely not refuse.

After all, who would dislike having more powerful experts under their command!

"This Imperial Son doesn't need you to die; This Imperial Son only needs you to kill them. If you're unwilling, then you're trying to deceive This Imperial Son, and as for the consequences, you should understand!"

Xuan Tianchen's voice contained boundless dominance.

However, the Great Elder of Haoyue Immortal Sect was utterly stunned upon hearing this; wasn't this still clearly telling him to go to his death?

It seemed the immense fortune that was within his grasp was about to disappear without a trace!
