In the eyes of the old madman, his sole purpose was for Yun Country, and Mu Chen, with his identity as Dao God, had helped them repeatedly to eliminate other outsiders and threats to Yun Country. To the old madman, whether the Dao God was truly a Dao God didn’t matter; what was crucial was for the Dao God to be safe and sound.
"You..." The face of Heaven Emperor turned ugly. The old madman was terrifyingly powerful, a rare and formidable individual. Losing him would be a significant loss to Yun Country, and given that the identity of Dao God wasn’t quite clear, causing such chaos and losing two powerhouses was even more of a loss. However, not knowing what Mu Chen truly looked like, he couldn’t let go, so the Heaven Emperor was very conflicted.
"Old madman, I trust my intuition more and more. I feel that the Dao God is the Evil God. If the Evil God wants to grow, he will definitely appear. Plus, the Evil God was previously with Xue Li, which makes me even more convinced. Now that the Dao God is acting so evasively, it’s proof that we must investigate," Yellow Emperor said once again, unwilling to let Mu Chen remain a ticking time bomb hidden in the shadows.
"I’ve said it before, if it’s a fight you want, then let’s fight! I will protect the Dao God."
"People of Yun Country, we seem to be able to help. I am even more certain that this Dao God is the Evil God," Main God and the Lord of Skeletons appeared and spoke, with a sudden change in their expression.
Main God appeared, and Mu Chen furrowed his brows.
Seeing Mu Chen’s expression, Yellow Emperor seemed even more convinced, and abruptly, a surge of power began to climb again as he quickly sketched with his hands, creating a gravitational space that slowly formed, not giving Mu Chen any chance to escape.
"Everyone, to bully the Dao God , Yun Country is truly disappointing," Emperor appeared just in the nick of time, his killing intent rising.
"Emperor." Emperor’s appearance made everyone frown, but they were also pleasantly surprised. Emperor’s appearance made them even more certain that Dao God was Mu Chen.
"Emperor, why have you appeared?" the old madman asked.
"Sorry about this, but Dao God and I, Emperor, have a relationship. I cannot stand by and watch Dao God be bullied," Emperor said seriously.
"Emperor, this is a matter of Yun Country. Since you chose to be neutral, you have no right to interfere with the affairs of Yun Country, do you understand?" Heaven Emperor spoke again.
"Forget it, I can’t be bothered to argue. If you really want to battle, just don’t blame me, Emperor, for not warning you when someone gets killed later."
"The arrogant Emperor, do you think we are genuinely afraid of you?" Yellow Emperor said darkly.
"Enough, my fellows. For such a baseless matter, do not make wild guesses without absolute certainty. In this matter, I support Dao God," Life and Death Gods said earnestly.
"It is said that the observer sees clear. In this matter, Dao God has done no wrong, Heaven Emperor and Yellow Emperor, the two of you have been quite disappointing. Yun Country isn’t something you can decide on," Yin Yang Two Gods likewise spoke.
"You two..." The faces of Heaven Emperor and Yellow Emperor turned ugly, not expecting that four people would plead for Mu Chen, suddenly changing the dynamics of the scene.
"Let’s think about it in the long term," Holy Daughter said earnestly.
"Agreed," Xiao Yaozi, seeing the situation, also lacking absolute certainty, spoke as well.
"Hmph, Dao God, I hope you don’t give us a handle to catch you on," Heaven Emperor said before blinking away and disappearing.
"The rest of the people disappeared one after another."
"Yun Country is really cowardly," the two Main Gods scoffed in disdain, no longer performing and also left.
"You really are the Evil God, aren’t you!" the old madman, surrounded by a surge of energy, then asked seriously.
"Correct." Mu Chen admitted without concealing it.
"I knew it; I’m sure that they are eighty percent sure it is you as well."
"I initially wanted to reveal myself and have a full-out battle. I didn’t expect the Life and Death Gods to turn coat," Mu Chen said with a smile.
"Evil God, I don’t care about other matters. I just want to know one thing; you will protect Yun Country, won’t you?"
"Rest assured, old madman. Even if I, the Evil God, am cruel, Yun Country is inevitably something I must protect. The Demon Clan, I will slaughter them completely," Mu Chen said earnestly.
"That’s enough for me. Don’t worry, if there is anything you need help with in the future, I will definitely assist you," the old madman said before blinking away and disappearing.
"Do you trust him that much?" After the old madman left, Emperor asked with a smile. Emperor knew very clearly that Dao God was Mu Chen.
"Trust is not the point anymore. The identity of Dao God is exposed. What awaits me now is assassination. I believe that those who suspect me are now lurking around, ready to pounce," Mu Chen said with a smile.
"What do you plan to do?"
"Old man, do you ever feel like switching identities? Do you ever feel like wanting to thrash these people?"
"What do you mean?" Emperor frowned, unclear what Mu Chen intended to do.
"You become Dao God, I become Emperor, and we launch a counterassassination," Mu Chen said seriously.
"Are you sure that there are people who will go so far as to take action?" Emperor thought for a moment and felt it wasn’t a bad idea.
"When a hunter sees his prey, will he give up?" Mu Chen retorted.
"Simply relying on me, it’s also very difficult to kill someone," Emperor said seriously.
"There’s also me. I’ll turn into the likeness of Wind God to appear beside you, deliberately meeting under their eyes, provoke them into action, and then we take the chance for a grand counter-slaughter."
"Rely on you?" Emperor asked.
"Even if we really don’t have the certainty to kill, severely injuring these people is not a bad idea. Besides, such a beauty as Holy Daughter, old man, I also don’t want to pass it up," Mu Chen said earnestly.
"You kid, with so many beautiful women, aren’t you satisfied yet?" Emperor said unhappily.
"I never thought about making her my woman; at most, she would be a lover. There’s a difference between a lover and a wife," Mu Chen clarified.
"To have a great beauty like Holy Daughter as a lover, you really have quite the imagination," Emperor said speechlessly.
"Old man, just one question, will you do it?"
"Yeah. It’s time to give these people a real sense of fear. Those who are ignorant of the world must be awakened," Emperor stated.
"Then let’s transform," Mu Chen said with a smile, taking off his disguise for Emperor, and Emperor handed over his garments to Mu Chen.
After Mu Chen put on Emperor’s clothing, power entered his face, his appearance slowly changing, and finally, he became Emperor. Unless one deliberately sensed Mu Chen’s aura, no one would realize that the one with the appearance of Emperor was indeed Mu Chen.
"Divine Dragon Body is truly mysterious and unpredictable. When did you learn this face-changing skill?"
"I’ve made many breakthroughs recently, slowly realizing that Divine Dragon Body conceals many latent abilities."
"I see now," Emperor said, understanding.
"Old man, let’s not waste words, let’s leave."
After they finished speaking, they released the Energy Shield and disappeared separately.
However, Mu Chen’s departure went unnoticed and untracked. The nearby people, or rather the powerful ones of Yun Country, were fixated on the Dao God impersonated by Emperor. Newest update provided by n0velfire.net
