Awoke As A God After Auto Battling For 1000000 Years

Chapter 248: Chapter 247: The Real Traitor!



Inside the Dark Temple, the atmosphere was eerily silent.

Countless Imperial Guild professionals surrounded Zhang Yue alone, yet no one dared to approach.

Even Xu Aiguo, watching from the periphery, was utterly shocked.

He had never imagined that Zhang Yue's strength would be so overwhelming that even the entire Imperial Guild couldn't shake him.

Viewers in various live-streaming rooms were equally stunned.

["This guy… is he really this strong?"]

["Is he a rookie professional? Even the early strength of the Mythical-tier professional Ghostblade Elfa from Lighthouse Country wasn't this exaggerated!"]

["Damn! Zero is so powerful; I'm starting to like him!"]

["A traitor and you still like him? First, he killed the Imperial Guild's president, and now he's slaughtered so many of its members. The title of traitor to the nation has already been cemented!"]

On the scene, Liu Sheng looked at the people around him, hesitant to make a move. He himself was somewhat panicked but quickly regained his composure.

Pointing at Zhang Yue, he shouted angrily, "Do you even know what your actions mean? You've betrayed the nation!"

"You dared to kill members of the Ice Emperor? That's outright treason against Dragon Country! You traitor! You don't deserve to be a citizen of Dragon Country!"

Zhang Yue looked at Liu Sheng, speaking calmly, "Who the real traitor is, you should know in your heart."

Liu Sheng froze for a moment, then immediately retorted, "Of course, it's you. You traitor!"

As if feeling his words alone weren't strong enough, Liu Sheng turned to the scattered onlookers and shouted, "Zero is a traitor! He must be an undercover agent planted by an enemy nation. The assassin who attacked our rookie professional the other day—he brought them in!"

The crowd, swayed by Liu Sheng's words, coupled with the obvious conflict between Zhang Yue and the Imperial Guild, began pointing at Zhang Yue and cursing:

"Traitor! Get out of Dragon Country!"

"People like him deserve to die! Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

A thunderous cry erupted from the crowd.

The members of the Imperial Guild shouted as well:

"Our president risked his life to protect you, and yet you killed him! You're nothing but a scoundrel!"

"Blood for blood! We'll use your life to honor President Xu Bei."

Lin Tian, Wu Haotian, and Ouyang Ling'er looked completely at a loss.

At this moment, another group of professionals surged into the Dark Temple.

Sweeping their gaze over the scene, it became clear that the newcomers were from Tianjing's three great families—the Tian Family, the Chen Family Army—and from far-off Zhening, the Misty Pavilion, and Supreme Guild!

Leading them were Tian Xiner, Chen Long, Su Jinyan, and Liu Yao.

The four major guilds, numbering in the thousands, surrounded the Imperial Guild's members in turn.

Inside the encirclement, Liu Sheng's expression drastically changed.

"What are you doing? Are you planning to rebel?"

The Misty Pavilion's president, Su Jinyan, spoke firmly, "I believe Zhang Yue could never be a traitor."

The Supreme Guild's president, Liu Yao, climbed on Li Xiaoyao's shoulders to stand tall and shouted, "I've never met anyone more upright than my big brother! This must be the work of someone jealous and malicious, deliberately framing him."

With Su Jinyan and Liu Yao handling the explanations, Tian Xiner and Chen Long decided to showcase their strength. "This is Tianjing! If you Imperial Guild members think you can act against our people here, you'd better ask for our permission first."

"Rebellion!" Liu Sheng roared angrily. "Defending this traitor so adamantly—are all of you planning to betray Dragon Country too?"

At the same time, the live-streaming hosts were fired up, narrating the turn of events passionately:

"Family! The situation has undergone a massive reversal! The Tian Family and the Chen Army of Tianjing, as well as reinforcements from Zhening, have come to personally defend Zero."

"It seems an epic battle is now inevitable!"

The number of viewers in the live-streaming rooms surged dramatically.

The situation had escalated to the point where only war could resolve it.

Liu Sheng, however, found this advantageous. He thought smugly to himself, 'The bigger the mess, the better. Eventually, everyone in the country will know you're a traitor. Even if I can't kill you, public opinion will crush you.'

"Hmph, Zero, let's see what you have to fight against the entire Empire!"

As both sides were ready to clash, a shout suddenly rang out:

"Everyone, stop!"

Following the voice, all eyes turned to see the newcomer. Liu Sheng's smug expression froze instantly, replaced by shock and disbelief.

The person walking in was a warrior clad in white armor—Xu Bei.

"President!?"

The Imperial Guild members were shocked but overjoyed.

"The president is alive! This is amazing!"

Only Liu Sheng and Xu Aiguo paled, their hearts racing as if facing a mortal enemy.

"He's alive? How is this possible?"

Liu Sheng stared at the identical figure before him, his heart filled with terror.

Because if Xu Bei was alive, it meant… he was finished.

"You… you're not dead?"

Xu Bei smiled faintly and said, "Sorry to disappoint you."

The next second, Xu Bei pointed at Liu Sheng and declared loudly, "Zero is not a traitor! The real traitor… is him!"

"He's the one who tried to kill me!"

Gasps erupted around them.

"What's going on?"

"A complete plot twist? Holy crap! The Imperial Guild's vice president killed their president and framed Zero?"

Everyone was stunned, except Zhang Yue, who remained calm as if everything had been within his expectations.

As if Xu Bei's testimony wasn't enough, Zhang Yue said, "Why don't I show you something?"

With that, he cast a video onto a screen.

The footage showed the events inside the Beast Lair dungeon: Liu Sheng stabbing Xu Bei in the back, then colluding with a group of black-clad assassins to kill him.

Liu Sheng's face went pale, his legs giving way as he nearly collapsed.

He had never imagined that Xu Bei would survive and that Zhang Yue had recorded everything, holding all the evidence.

From the moment they left the Beast Lair, all his actions to suppress Zhang Yue had been utterly meaningless. In hindsight, Liu Sheng realized he had been nothing more than a clown, frantically jumping around while Zhang Yue held all the cards.

With Xu Bei's testimony and the damning video, the Imperial Guild professionals turned on Liu Sheng.

"So it was you who killed the president!"

"Vice President, why would you do this? Why attack the president and frame Zero?"

Ouyang Ling'er stood up at that moment and said, "Because he's the traitor."

Finally, she understood why Zhang Yue had remained so composed in the face of online accusations.

Standing beside Zhang Yue, she said to the crowd, "Your vice president colluded with Eastern Nation, sent assassins to kill our country's contestants, and murdered your president, framing him to cover his tracks."

"He is the real traitor!"

At this point, Liu Sheng knew there was no escape. He looked at Xu Bei and asked, "How did you survive? Zero couldn't have saved you in time, and those assassins holding your revival scrolls weren't ordinary…"

Xu Bei said calmly, "Because the one who saved me wasn't an ordinary person."

At his words, a warrior clad in golden armor, exuding an overwhelming aura of strength, stepped forward.

This golden-armored warrior was none other than the legendary-tier professional: Sword Emperor Luo Chen.

He was a member of the Heavens Hall.

At this moment, even Xu Aiguo was shaken.

What they thought was a flawless plan had been entirely within Zhang Yue's grasp from the start…
