Chapter 1948: High-Sounding Pretext
Wei Zhen, upon hearing Vice Hall Master Tao Wu’s words, glanced towards Jing Yan again.
"Jing Yan, is there any truth to this matter?" Wei Zhen asked.
"Senior! It was first the Void Divine Palace’s Void Son who plotted against me, forcing me to retaliate!" Jing Yan responded.
However, Jing Yan’s heart stirred slightly; Wei Zhen’s attitude towards him seemed problematic. He had discovered a Super Wormhole node within the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress, providing substantial merits for the Chaotic Ten Thousand Clan Beings. Logically, Wei Zhen should be more amicable towards him. Even if not amicable, he shouldn’t harbor hostility.
But Jing Yan sensed Wei Zhen had an intentional antagonism towards him.
"Jing Yan! You claim the Void Divine Palace plotted against you, yet I see no signs of injury on you. Contrarily, one Void Son from the Void Divine Palace is dead and another injured, a fact. You both entered the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress to investigate the plans of the Devouring Heaven Clan, meant to unite and cooperate. Yet you resorted to plotting against a companion, which is indeed improper." Wei Zhen shook his head and continued.
With these words, Jing Yan realized there truly was an issue.
Not only Jing Yan, but Chenyuan Emperor and others also sensed Ultimate Strong Person Wei Zhen was targeting Jing Yan.
"Wei Zhen Daoist..." Chenyuan Emperor spoke.
"Chenyuan Daoist, this matter does not concern you." Wei Zhen interrupted Chenyuan Emperor.
Tao Wu and other Controllers of the Void Divine Palace silently rejoiced, having observed Wei Zhen’s apparent displeasure towards Jing Yan. Though the reason was unknown, an Ultimate Strong Person’s displeasure with Jing Yan was a welcome sight for them. Especially since nearby the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress, only one Ultimate Strong Person existed.
If Ultimate Strong Person Wei Zhen were to act against Jing Yan, could Jing Yan escape? Clearly impossible!
