"Heh heh, who I am is not important. What's important is that you, the so-called great figures and guardians of Manzhou, will soon be spurned by the entire Manzhou!"
Facing the questioning from Gu Qiankun and others, the shadowy figure smiled sinisterly and spoke.
As his words fell, a distant fluctuation was felt, and then, from various parts of the central war zone, voices entered everyone's ears.
"The exit has opened!!!"
"Quick, escape! Hurry!!!"
"Excellent, we are saved!!"
"Ancient God Tribe! Hegemon!! Hmph, today I will make the whole world know the ugly faces of you people!!"
"The Ancient God Tribe created the Black Robe Alliance to harm the common people and hunt down geniuses across the land. When the truth was learned, many hegemons of Manzhou were willing to cover it up, luring us hundreds of thousands of martial artists to our doom. This matter must be spread!"
"Ancient God Tribe, my ass! It doesn't deserve to be called the number one force in Manzhou!!"
One voice after another echoed, and the divine senses of the powerful individuals present instantly descended upon the exit of the war zone. Their expressions changed dramatically.
The exit was open!
The two hegemons who had sealed the exit were dead!!!
"You!! You are courting death!!!"
Gu Qiankun's face turned terrifyingly grim, his eyes filled with killing intent as he stared at the shadowy figure.
"Damn it, who exactly are you? Do you know what you are doing?"
"Fool! Ignorant!!! What have you done?!"
"Kill him, he wants to destroy the foundation of our Manzhou!"
The leaders of the Xingtian Tribe and others present roared in anger, their faces ashen.
Who would have thought that the exit would be opened, and those destined to die inside the war zone were now escaping.
And everything that had happened in the war zone, including the deal between Gu Qiankun and these powerful figures, the scheme to kill all martial artists in the war zone, and the cover-up of the Ancient God Tribe's secrets.
All of these matters would be exposed.
Some powerful individuals immediately attempted to head towards the exit, preparing to re-seal it.
However, by this time, thousands had already escaped. Even if the war zone was sealed again, it would be too late.
The escapees would spread the truth. If they were to seal the war zone again, the consequences would only be more severe.
"Damn it!! Who exactly are you?! You are not from Manzhou, who are you?!"
Gu Qiankun's face turned ashen, his long saber pointed at the shadowy figure. The other powerful individuals also locked onto the shadowy figure with their auras. At this moment, Li Xiaotian was no longer important.
Although both deserved to die, the determination of everyone to kill the shadowy figure far surpassed their desire to kill Li Xiaotian.
Even Li Xiaotian was taken aback, his expression one of surprise, unsure whether to feel delighted or give a wry smile.
He had been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the leader of the God Devouring Tribe to tie up one or two of his opponents.
He had even harbored doubts about the leader for not acting sooner.
But now, who would have thought that upon their appearance, they would offend everyone present.
This was more than just tying up his enemies; it was clearly a rescue.
Li Xiaotian even had the illusion that if he were to escape now, Gu Qiankun and his group would not immediately pursue him, but would rather focus all their efforts on eliminating the leader of the God Devouring Tribe.
"This is a great help."
Li Xiaotian muttered to himself. Of course, he also understood that the cooperation between the two sides was for mutual benefit.
The God Devouring Tribe was attacking the Ancient God Tribe, and his task was to join forces with the leader of the God Devouring Tribe to keep Gu Qiankun here.
"Heh heh, Gu Shenzhu, do you truly not know who I am? You should be receiving news from the outside world by now, right?"
The shadowy figure said with a cold laugh, his voice filled with mockery.
As soon as he spoke, Gu Qiankun's expression drastically changed. A jade pendant, which was emitting a dazzling light, suddenly appeared in his hand, followed by an astonishing surge of malevolent energy erupting from his body.
At the same time, many of the powerful figures present also received news, and their expressions were filled with shock.
"The Ancient God Tribe has suddenly been attacked by a large number of unidentified individuals and has been forced to seal its mountain!!"
Someone was attacking the Ancient God Tribe!!!
At this moment, the expressions of everyone present became unsettled. They looked at the shadowy figure with shock and apprehension, as well as a trace of doubt.
Who exactly was this person?!
And who was the group attacking the Ancient God Tribe?
They were too audacious!
The Ancient God Tribe was the foremost power in Manzhou, possessing terrifying strength and profound heritage. Countless powerful individuals were stationed in the God Mountain of the Ancient God Tribe. Outsiders who dared to intrude there would only meet their death.
Yet now, they dared to lead an attack on the Ancient God Tribe. This was clearly seeking death!
"The God Devouring Tribe!!!"
Just as everyone was guessing the shadowy figure's identity, Gu Qiankun spoke with a cold face, his entire being radiating immense killing intent.
"The God Devouring Tribe!!"
A ripple of shock went through the crowd. They all looked at the shadowy figure, their eyes filled with disbelief.
The God Devouring Tribe had returned to Manzhou!
How was this possible?! Hadn't they been wiped out long ago?
"Impossible! Are you truly from the God Devouring Tribe?"
The leader of the Xingtian Tribe asked, his tone full of doubt.
The God Devouring Tribe had not appeared in Manzhou for a very long time.
In ancient times, many powerful figures in Manzhou had driven the God Devouring Tribe into the Northern Territory, and they had continuously organized powerful individuals to hunt them down.
Logically speaking, they should have been exterminated long ago.
Even if they hadn't been exterminated, how many years had passed? How could they possess the strength and heritage to dare to attack the Ancient God Tribe?
"Heh heh, the true God Devouring Tribe was exterminated long ago. We are merely special humans whose bodies flow with the bloodline of the God Devouring Tribe."
The shadowy figure said with a smile, his tone calm, but anyone could hear the immense hatred hidden within his words.
"A bunch of rats lurking in the shadows, do you think you can be a match for my Ancient God Tribe? You appearing here is probably to stop this Shenzhu from returning to the tribe to rescue them. How laughable! Even if this Shenzhu were not here, do you think the power you have accumulated would pose a threat to my Ancient God Tribe?"
Gu Qiankun sneered, showing no panic whatsoever.
"Heh heh, one must try."
The shadowy figure chuckled, not responding further to Gu Qiankun.
Meanwhile, the leaders of the Xingtian Tribe and others had varied expressions. They all knew the might of the Ancient God Tribe, and they were merely surprised that the God Devouring Tribe dared to act against them.
However, the shadowy figure's reply left them somewhat uncertain. Could it be that the current God Devouring Tribe truly possessed the strength to threaten the Ancient God Tribe?
"Esteemed sirs, let's not waste time. These two have colluded to disrupt Manzhou, and it is time to eliminate them!"
Gu Qiankun said coldly, and then continued.
"The God Devouring Tribe secretly established the Black Robe Alliance and colluded with the foreign devil Li Xiaotian today in an attempt to change the destiny of our Manzhou. We will absolutely not tolerate this!!"
As these words were spoken, the expressions of the leaders of the Xingtian Tribe and others flickered. Gu Qiankun's two sentences essentially resolved all the problems of the day.
They would shift all the blame onto Li Xiaotian and the God Devouring Tribe. When they revealed this information to the public, with their control over Manzhou, it would not be long before everyone in Manzhou believed their words.
As for those who escaped from the war zone, they were still alive. Even if they spread the truth of today, they could simply concoct some excuses later.
"Indeed, the God Devouring Tribe and Li Xiaotian attempted to massacre all martial artists in the war zone, but their scheme was exposed by us. These two must die to provide an explanation to the people of our Manzhou!"
The Dead Spirit Great Shaman growled through gritted teeth, skillfully shifting the blame.
"Heh heh, esteemed sirs, your calculations are quite astute."
The shadowy figure sneered, not showing any anger.
As for Li Xiaotian, his understanding of the shamelessness of Gu Qiankun and the others was renewed. All the hundreds of thousands of people in the war zone had witnessed the truth. Did they truly take those people for fools, believing their lies?
Of course, Manzhou was a place where might made right. As long as these powerful figures returned, rumors and gossip would have no impact on these individuals or their status within their tribes.
"Your faces are quite thick, however, do you truly believe you have us both cornered?"
Li Xiaotian said with a cold laugh, his tone filled with mockery and disdain.
"Hmph!"
Gu Qiankun snorted coldly, not replying. Instead, his long saber hummed, responding to Li Xiaotian with his actions.
"Once these two are dead, all the slander and chaos will amount to nothing."
The Dead Spirit Great Shaman said gloomily, voicing the innermost thoughts of everyone present from Manzhou.
"Then let us fight!"
Li Xiaotian roared, charging forward directly, while simultaneously transmitting a message to the shadowy figure.
"Hold off Gu Qiankun for me, I'm going to kill some people!"
"Heh heh, rest assured, I can still hold him off. However, I may not be able to help you with the others."
"Good!"
Li Xiaotian replied, content with this outcome. Even a moment's distraction would be enough for him to kill several people.
