Chapter 3997
The decisive battle ended because of a sudden storm.
The Soul Hunters and Soul Devourers both suffered heavy casualties.
The Soul Devourers attacked like crazy, intending to attack Bloody Battle City. Of course, the Soul Hunters were unwilling. The two sides fought a bloody battle in the One-Line Sky. The scale was comparable to the battle thousands of years ago.
When the storm appeared, the Soul Hunters began to retreat because the Death Storm was extremely unfavorable to them.
As for the Soul Devourers, after chasing for a while, they did not dare to chase them out of the One-Line Sky. Then, they began to retreat.
The decisive battle ended just like that.
The storm became more and more terrifying, filling the entire One-Line Sky.
All the survivors of the Soul Hunters stood on the city wall and looked at the storm in the canyon. Many of them secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
The Heavenly Souls stood at the front. Almost all of them were injured, but when they looked at the storm in the canyon, there was only guilt in their eyes.
"I've been paying attention to that kid for a long time, but I was too careless. I didn't expect the Soul Devourers to do this."
The old gatekeeper who had participated in the battle sighed.
Through this battle, many Heavenly Souls had seen Zi Chen's battle and even his achievements.
He had single-handedly killed eight of the Ten Talents of the Soul Devourers. How powerful was that?
It was a pity that such a talented general had entered the depths of the One-Line Sky and disappeared from their senses.
Now that the Soul Devourers had retreated, the result was obvious.
Many Heavenly Souls blamed themselves because they could not protect a genius who could become the leader of Bloody Battle City in the future.
The old gatekeeper was the first to see Zi Chen and even gave him a General Token. However, he did not expect Zi Chen to be so powerful.
If the Earth Soul was like this, what about the Heavenly Soul?
How powerful would his combat power be?
Unfortunately, it was too late.
No one knew whether Zi Chen was dead or alive, but according to the crazy actions of the Soul Devourers, there was a high possibility that Zi Chen was dead.
Even if he did not die, there was no chance of survival in this terrifying storm.
Above the city walls, Yao Ye was looking for Zi Chen. He had obtained a lot of contribution points in today's battle. As his opponent, he didn't wish for anything to happen to Zi Chen. He wanted to defeat him fair and square on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, Zi Chen wasn't among the crowd, nor were the two fairies. This made his expression change and he had a bad feeling.
Could it be that something had happened to everyone?
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of his eyes. It was Fairy Shan Ya. However, she looked very depressed at this moment, as if half of her spirit had collapsed.
Lan Xianzi was also there. Yao Ye also saw Wan He, Yun Zhen, and Butterball. However, he didn't see Zi Chen.
The expressions on their faces were extremely grave.
Shen Gui, who was standing beside Yao Ye, also saw this scene. He said in surprise, "Why don't I see Zi Chen?
Could it be that Zi Chen didn't come back? "
Yao Ye shook his head. "That's impossible. That guy isn't much weaker than me. Furthermore, Wan He is back. How could something have happened to him?"
At this moment, there was a lot of noise on the city walls. The previous battle was too shocking, so not many people were paying attention to Shan Ya.
"Everyone, listen to me!"
Yun Zhen suddenly raised his voice and even used his power.
Everyone looked in Yun Zhen's direction. They saw Wan He and the two fairies. In an instant, the noisy atmosphere became quiet.
Yun Zhen continued, "We have a traitor here. A traitor who colluded with the Soul Devourers!"
As soon as he said this, it was like throwing a bomb on the city walls. It caused a huge commotion and caused an uproar.
"Traitor?
What do they mean? "
Yao Ye was confused. "Isn't this a decisive battle?"
All the Heavenly Souls in the surroundings fell silent.
Shan Ya and Lan Gu Meng's eyes became extremely cold.
Wan He's expression also became much colder. He walked to a corresponding vantage point and stood there looking down at the crowd. He said, "This decisive battle is actually a trap set by the Soul Devourers. This trap is targeted at Zi Chen.
The Soul Devourers' goal is to kill him! "
The Heavenly Souls who participated in the battle were slow to realize. After hearing Wan He's words, their expressions became even more ashamed. This was because the Soul Devourers had succeeded in this battle and won.
But to those at the Earthly Soul Realm, this news was too great and too shocking.
Who was Zi Chen?
Many people knew about him. However, his fame was only due to his good luck and survival. It was because he was on good terms with the two fairies.
To be honest, his fame was not as great as the two fairies.
The Soul Devourers had created such a huge commotion just for him?
Many people did not believe it. There was even suspicion on their faces.
"This is true!"
Right at this moment, an old man in a blue robe walked out, "Practically all the geniuses of the Souleater Clan were mobilized in this battle, and Zi Chen killed eight of them by himself. The other members of the Souleater Clan are countless!"
No one recognized the old man in the blue robe. However, the Heavenly Soul aura on him could not be faked. The words of a Heavenly Soul naturally carried a lot of weight.
"What?!"
The surroundings, which had just quieted down, became noisy again. Everyone was shocked and could not believe it.
Zi Chen single-handedly annihilated eight elites?
Yao Ye could not believe it either. However, after his gaze swept across the faces of the Heavenly Souls, he had to believe it even if he did not want to.
A single person had killed eight elites?
The confidence in his heart had completely collapsed at this moment.
Who could stop such a glorious battle record?
At this moment, no one doubted Wan He's words anymore.
Wan He continued, "After I was surrounded, the Soul Devourers surrounded me but did not kill me. I guessed that this was a trap. Therefore, no one in my team sent out a distress signal."
Wan He's gaze swept across the crowd. He said with certainty, "Everyone, listen carefully. No one sent out a distress signal!
However, Zi Chen had come and told me that he had come because he had received my distress signal.
Therefore, we concluded that there was a traitor in our team. A traitor who colluded with the Soul Devourers!
Zi Chen's accident this time was caused by the traitor working with the Soul Devourers! "
"No distress signal?"
Yao Ye, who was shocked, regained his senses and looked at Shen Gui, who was beside him.
At the same time, Shan Ya and Lan Gu Meng stared coldly at Shen Gui.
He was the one who had spread the news back then.
Being stared at by so many people, Shen Gui said angrily, "Impossible!
The news I heard back then was that Wan He and Du Yi sent out a distress signal. If you don't believe me, you can ask Du Yi. "
Du Yi was also one of the Ten Heroes. He was very famous.
In an instant, many people looked around, searching for Du Yi.
The blue-robed elder said, "There's no need to look for him. Du Yi has died in the canyon!"
There was another uproar. One of the Ten Heroes had died in battle. This had not happened in a long time.
"I'm guessing that the Soul Devourers did this deliberately. They surrounded my team and Du Yi's team at the same time but did not kill them. After Du Yi sent out a distress signal and Zi Chen successfully arrived, they killed him."
Wan He said in a low voice, "I'm sure that I did not see Du Yi when I went to the battlefield. Therefore, even if he asked for help, he would not know that I was also on the battlefield."
This was a matter for discussion. At that moment, everyone's gazes landed on Shen Gui.
Shen Gui's expression was very ugly. "Why are you all looking at me?
I have no grudge against Zi Chen. Why would I harm him? "
"Right now, it's not about grudges. It's about colluding with the Soul Devourers."
Shan Ya said coldly, "We will not let the traitor go!"
A murderous aura surged on the city wall. All the members of the Earth Spirit Clan were filled with murderous intent. In the Death Canyon, the most intolerable thing was colluding with the Soul Devourers.
Feeling the murderous gazes of the crowd, Shen Gui explained loudly, "It's not me. It's really not me!"
"Someone will investigate whether it's you or not."
The blue-robed elder waved his hand and said, "Everyone has worked hard in this battle. Go and rest first."
The group of Earth Soul Realm experts left unwillingly.
However, it did not take long for some news to spread that Zi Chen had not killed eight of the ten prodigies of the Soul Devouring Clan, but nine of them.
One person killed nine of the Ten Heroes. What kind of strength was that?
After the shock, many people felt that it was a pity.
Because Zi Chen had not returned after such a long time, it was very likely that he was killed.
Even if he did not die, it would be difficult for him to survive in the storm that was lingering for a long time.
A genius of a generation had fallen just like that.
*****
*****
The blue-robed elder's name was Lan Xing. He was the first ancestor of the Lan Family. He had been waiting for the Divine Soul Goddess here for many years.
These days, he had been guarding Bloody Battle City to prevent any accidents from happening.
On this day, the two fairies came to visit.
Lan Xing had seen the two of them before. Even though it was only his clone that had seen them, he still knew everything.
The two bowed to Lan Xing. Shan Ya asked nervously, "Senior, is Zi Chen really dead?"
Lan Xing shook his head.
"He's not dead?"
Their eyes lit up.
Lan Xing sighed and said, "Actually, I don't know either. The storm suddenly appeared and cut off all senses. It even blocked the heavens' secrets."
The two lowered their heads, feeling very sad.
Lan Gu Meng said sadly, "It's all because of me. Zi Chen didn't want to expose my identity, so he stayed here alone."
Lan Xing said, "You don't have to blame yourselves for this. This is a tribulation that Zi Chen must endure on his path. He is destined to face this tribulation. Whether he can avoid it depends on the will of the heavens."
Shan Ya asked, "Senior, if Zi Chen really died on the battlefield, can his soul still return?"
This was Shan Ya's last hope. Even if Zi Chen really died in this world, she hoped that Zi Chen returned to his original world and saw his friends and loved ones.
"I'm not too sure about the Descenders. If you're lucky enough to enter the top of the Gate of the Sky, you may find the answer there."
"Did you find the traitor?" Lan Gu Meng asked.
"We already have some clues. More than one person has been discovered. We need some time to ferret out all of them."
There was anger on Lan Xing's face. "The Soul-devouring Clan is too arrogant. They actually set up a complete ambush here."
After leaving, the two girls locked themselves in their rooms and began to cultivate wholeheartedly.
This was because they blamed themselves and felt that it was their own lack of strength that had harmed Zi Chen.
