Chapter 1226: Chapter 624: Revealing the True Body, Astonishing Everyone! (Part 2)

At the moment he launched his attack, a layer of profound black flames instantly ignited within several dozen feet around him, wrapping towards him, while a surge of fist power also bombarded towards him.

Song Lun was suddenly shocked, never expecting that there would be a strong individual hiding in the shadows nearby, concealing their aura so well that even he didn’t detect it.

Caught off guard, the Samadhi True Fire directly landed on him, burning his flesh, and his clothes were severely damaged. Facing the punch, he could only take it head-on, unable to suppress a muffled groan. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

With a fierce gaze, he stared viciously into the empty space ahead and coldly said:

"Who dares ambush me!"

Before, Chen Yuan had concealed himself very well, but once he took action, he could no longer hide his aura, naturally revealing himself to not just Song Lun but also Lu Guangsheng and Sima Che, who cast their gaze over.

There is actually another person!

Could it be an ally of the opponent?

This was the simultaneous thought of both of them.

The void trembled, and from it stepped Chen Yuan clad in black scale armor, with horns atop his head, and a tall figure, stirring the heavenly phenomenon with his aura, his body enveloped in a deep layer of flames.

There was a sense of regret in his eyes; his move just now had actually been blocked, causing no real damage to Song Lun, perhaps only minor injuries at best.

"You are..." Song Lun, narrowing his brow tightly, stared at this non-human creature before him, frantically contemplating this person’s identity. Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and he asked seriously:

"Are you the Qilin Demon True Monarch?!"

Having recently shaken the Southern lands and pursued a Demon Great Saint for a thousand miles to make the Supreme List, the Qilin Demon True Monarch was naturally someone he had heard of. With some thought, he matched the identity.

After all, there were very few True Monarchs like him with horns atop his head and covered in scales, making him highly recognizable.

Lu Guangsheng also furrowed his brow. He didn’t recognize this Qilin Demon True Monarch; why had he suddenly appeared to help him? It was really strange and puzzling.

"Indeed, it is I!"

Chen Yuan straightforwardly admitted his identity, as there was nothing to hide.

"Song here and Liangshan have no grievances or enmity with you. Why ambush me?" Song Lun’s expression was somewhat unpleasant. If it were at a usual time, he would have slain this person and seized the Qilin Blood on him.

"I am the Qilin Daoist of the Taoist Divine Palace, and I despise the court and vile people the most. Song Lun, you betrayed your faith and sided with the court, condemned by all!"

Chen Yuan said loudly, his voice spreading over several hundred miles.

"Taoist Divine Palace!!!"

With Chen Yuan’s words, the countenances of the present True Monarchs turned solemn. Even the Seven Killings Hall Master, Gu Tianqiong, Chen Huaiyi, and Li Kuangxiu, involved in their battles, directed their attention here.

The name Taoist Divine Palace was not renowned in the Jianghu, but this didn’t mean no one paid attention. On the contrary, ever since the Taoist Divine Palace first appeared in the Central State’s Imperial City, it had been investigated by various forces in the world.

Both the court and the Immortal Sect wanted to know just what this suddenly emerging Taoist Divine Palace was, daring to stir chaos in the Divine Capital City and disrupt the royal ancestors’ rituals.

Most importantly, besides the fall of some low-level Martial Artists and one Yang Transformation True Master, the Taoist Divine Palace retreated entirely unscathed!

Even the court found it intractable.

In that battle, they even killed a True Monarch of the Sima Family, gravely injured the State Preceptor Pu Xian Bodhisattva, and slew several Yang Transformation True Masters, which was an event that shocked the entire world at the time.

Even now, people still occasionally bring it up.

Unexpectedly, the Qilin Demon True Monarch who suddenly emerged was also a Daoist of the Taoist Divine Palace. How strong really is he? Could he possibly rival the Immortal Sect?

"Villain!"

Gu Tianqiong furrowed his brow, with a flash of killing intent in his eyes. If not for the Seven Killings Hall Master’s constraints, he would probably have gone over to slay this person.

Li Kuangxiu felt the same way; however, clearly, Chen Huaiyi had a more pronounced reaction, furiously attacking Li Kuangxiu while feeling an immense shock in his heart simultaneously.

His nephew was actually from the Taoist Divine Palace?!

No wonder he had grown so rapidly; indeed, there was a terrifying power behind nurturing him. His strength had already reached the True Monarch level, although not as strong as himself, it wasn’t far off, either.

He felt both a sense of defeat and pride.

As an uncle watching his nephew, he felt proud of his achievements yet somewhat uneasy, thinking he would be his major support. Now it seemed that wasn’t the case. Even without him, Chen Yuan feared no one.

"Taoist Divine Palace... Qilin Daoist..."

In a place in Liangshan, Xiang Qianqiu, watching the confrontation, took a deep breath, his gaze becoming solemn for the first time, especially regarding his long-lost son, which was a first.

He originally thought that this son would ultimately be just a pawn in his hands, unable to escape his control. But now, it appears...not so; his strength and influence have long surpassed expectations.

As someone who has always been on his radar, Xiang Qianqiu felt a sense of astonishment.

And, he also felt an increased sense of urgency....

Yes, he recognized Chen Yuan’s identity!

He had actually always assigned people to monitor Chen Yuan. When the Qilin Demon True Monarch was chasing the Demon Saint, he had some suspicions but was never completely certain.

But now that he appeared here, the connection in the bloodline allowed him to recognize his identity at a glance.

"Perhaps.... the plan needs to change...." Xiang Qianqiu’s gaze was incredibly deep, flickering with mysterious light.

"Villain!"

Sima Che’s expression changed abruptly with a sudden burst of anger.
