The Eastern Heavenly King despaired. He understood Li Xiaotian's intentions. Once his identity was exposed, Li Xiaotian would never let him die.
Facing Li Xiaotian's terrifying power, he couldn't even self-detonate.
The other party knew his identity and would definitely use it to their advantage.
Moreover, he knew all the core secrets of the Black Robe Alliance. If these secrets were revealed, the reputation of the Ancient God Tribe would truly be ruined!
Thinking of this, the Eastern Heavenly King was filled with dread. He was afraid. He was afraid he couldn't withstand Li Xiaotian's interrogation and would spill all the secrets.
He was afraid that after the secrets were exposed, the Ancient God Tribe would lose face and its authority would be completely gone!
A chill instantly spread through his heart. He glared resentfully at Qinglin. It was all this bitch's fault. If she hadn't recognized his identity, he wouldn't be in this situation.
"Speak, did the Ancient God Tribe order you to fake your death and join the Black Robe Alliance? What is the relationship between the Black Robe Alliance and the Ancient God Tribe?"
Li Xiaotian asked unhurriedly, having some guesses in his heart but finding them too exaggerated and unbelievable.
"Hmph!"
The Eastern Heavenly King snorted coldly and merely glared at Li Xiaotian, not responding at all.
"Heh, you don't want to say?"
Li Xiaotian smiled. Was the other party unwilling to speak, or afraid to?
"Li Xiaotian, if you have the guts, kill this king! It's true that this king is from the Ancient God Tribe, but this king no longer has any connection with the Ancient God Tribe. Don't even think about blackening the Ancient God Tribe's name through this king!"
The Eastern Heavenly King said with a cold snort. He was not a coward like the Southern Heavenly King. He would never let anyone pry information from his mouth!
"I know a sorcery that can make him say everything, but his strength is too great. If I use it on him, it might fail."
At this moment, Qinglin, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke.
This made the Eastern Heavenly King stunned.
But in the next moment, his eyes turned red, and he glared fiercely at Qinglin, cursing loudly.
"Bitch!!! Do you know what you're doing? You're betraying the tribe! Damn it, you idiot, do you know how serious the consequences of betraying the tribe are?"
"Heh!"
Li Xiaotian smiled, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He ignored the Eastern Heavenly King and said to Qinglin.
"How can it be successful?"
"Make his injuries worse, his soul on the brink of death."
Qinglin replied without thinking.
"Damn it! You bitch!! You're crazy!! You're helping an enemy deal with the tribe, have you forgotten the nourishment the tribe gave you?!"
The Eastern Heavenly King panicked, shouting loudly, his expression contorted. He wanted to attempt self-detonation again, but as soon as the thought arose, a terrifying pressure crushed any attempt he made.
"You are abetting evil, you will be nailed to the tribe's pillar of shame, you will become the most sinful person of the tribe!!!"
The Eastern Heavenly King shouted, his gaze filled with resentment as he looked at Qinglin. He couldn't understand why she, who was clearly from the Ancient God Tribe, would betray the tribe.
"Boom!"
Before the Eastern Heavenly King could think further, a terrifying force filled with destruction surged into his body. That force tore his body apart, shattered his will, and made him let out a scream.
In the blink of an eye, the Eastern Heavenly King's aura weakened rapidly, like a patient on the verge of death, about to die at any moment.
The Eastern Heavenly King's eyes widened, and he could only let out weak groans. His expression was one of terror and despair, and his gaze towards Qinglin was filled with resentment and a hint of pleading.
But this was destined to be in vain.
"Buzz!"
A ripple spread out. Qinglin formed hand seals and chanted obscure incantations.
Then, she pointed a finger at the Eastern Heavenly King's forehead.
The Eastern Heavenly King's eyes instantly became unfocused, and his expression turned vacant.
"Done."
Qinglin opened her eyes and said.
A flash of surprise flickered in Li Xiaotian's eyes. He nodded, then looked at the Eastern Heavenly King and asked.
"Why did you join the Black Robe Alliance?"
"The Divine Lord ordered me to join the Black Robe Alliance. Although the Ancient God Tribe is at its peak in Manzhou, many tribes secretly do not obey the Ancient God Tribe's rule. Therefore, the Divine Lord created the Black Robe Alliance to use its power to eliminate all factors that affect the Ancient God Tribe's rule."
Instantly, the cave became eerily silent. Li Xiaotian's expression was one of surprise mixed with "as expected."
He had guessed correctly. Although it was just a thought earlier, he was still somewhat surprised when it was truly confirmed.
The infamous Black Robe Alliance in Manzhou was actually founded by the Ancient God Tribe!
Who could have imagined this?
The Ancient God Tribe was already the number one tribe in Manzhou, the heaven of Manzhou. Creating the Black Robe Alliance was completely redundant!
At the same time, Qinglin's face also turned pale, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
Even though she had now betrayed the Ancient God Tribe, she still had feelings for it. But upon hearing this news, she found it hard to accept.
At this moment, she understood everything.
No wonder when she had previously pleaded with Gu Qiankun, hoping the tribe would help her avenge her brother, she was refused.
Thinking back now, everything made sense.
The Black Robe Alliance was a force supported by the Ancient God Tribe. If she had pleaded with Gu Qiankun, being able to keep her life would have been fortunate.
"Who are the other two Heavenly Kings of the Black Robe Alliance, and who is your leader? Do you recognize Qing Shi?"
Thinking of this, before Li Xiaotian could ask further, Qinglin hurriedly spoke, her breathing also becoming somewhat erratic.
However, Li Xiaotian could understand her current state.
"The Northern Heavenly King was the previous third Divine General of the tribe. The Western Heavenly King was an internal agent of the tribe. The leader is..."
The Eastern Heavenly King struggled to speak. Even after being affected by the spell, he seemed extremely wary of the leader's identity, resisting instinctively.
However, his condition was ultimately too poor, and his resistance was useless. He could only speak with difficulty in the end.
"The leader is the Divine Lord!"
"What?!!"
"Roar!!!"
Upon hearing the Eastern Heavenly King's words, both people and the beast present couldn't help but exclaim.
And Li Xiaotian's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his aura suddenly fluctuating violently.
The leader of the Black Robe Alliance was Gu Qiankun!
Good heavens, if that was the case, the Black Robe Alliance was essentially a simplified version of the Ancient God Tribe!
On the surface, the Ancient God Tribe was dominant, but unexpectedly, in secret, the Ancient God Tribe was also invisibly intimidating the entire Manzhou!
Li Xiaotian instinctively looked at Qinglin. Her condition was very poor, her aura was fluctuating, and her body was trembling slightly.
This news was a huge blow to her!
"Qing Shi is a remnant of the Qing Tribe. After we destroyed the Qing Tribe back then, we found that two children had the aptitude for shamanic cultivation. The Divine Lord kept them, erased their memories, took them in to join the Ancient God Tribe, and let them grow up to serve the Ancient God Tribe!"
"But Qing Shi's talent was too great. She unconsciously regained her memories, and the Divine Lord discovered it, so the Divine Lord ordered us to design her death."
Instantly, Qinglin's face turned pale, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face. Her body also uncontrollably fell backward.
Li Xiaotian, seeing this, immediately supported her and sent a surge of energy into her body.
"Don't be overwhelmed. Since you've found the true enemy, find a way to get revenge!"
Li Xiaotian said in a deep voice, his expression also extremely grim.
Gu Qiankun's insidiousness was beyond his imagination. Such a powerful person, the one with the highest status and power in Manzhou, his true face was actually so shameless and cruel.
"How is this possible? Why? Our tribe was destroyed by him, and he took in my brother and me. I was serving my enemy, unknowingly working for my foe for so many years!"
Qinglin muttered to herself, her eyes filled with confusion, hatred, and self-recrimination.
"Even when he wanted Seventh Brother to cripple me before, I didn't blame him. My brother was killed by him because he discovered the truth, and I knew nothing. Was I really that stupid?"
Li Xiaotian remained silent. This truth was indeed a great blow to Qinglin.
Serving one's enemy, working for one's foe all along, and what's more absurd is that the enemy knew everything, as if playing with the world, secretly watching the growth of these siblings.
"Roar! Gu Qiankun, that old beast, is too detestable!!! This seat has never seen such a sinister and cunning scoundrel!!"
The Dragon Horse roared, its tone vulgar, then it looked at Qinglin to comfort her.
"Miss Qing, it's fortunate that you have already betrayed the Ancient God Tribe. Otherwise, when you learned the truth later, you would probably regret it even more."
Qinglin cried silently, looking very fragile. Her tribe and her brother were both destroyed and killed because of one person.
And this person was someone she had always respected and been grateful to.
She was like a fool, serving her enemy.
