Betrayal

Dozens of Wang Hou appeared around the perimeter of the hall.

They seemed to hold no numerical advantage over the Divine Emperor Palace, which had colluded with foreign Wang Hou, but who were these arrivals?

There was no need to mention Jiang Huan. When he had first entered the Peak Realm, he had beaten Duke Tianning until he fled in miserable defeat. After a year of further cultivation, no one knew how far his combat strength had risen.

Judging solely from the latest battle reports, he had nearly leveled an S-rank "gate" by himself. Even the Duke of Yanshan had no confidence in accomplishing such a feat.

The rest were also elite powerhouses among the Wang Hou: Wu Jun, Marquis Yidao, Marquis of Qingcheng, Golden Tower Marquis, the Heavenly Swordsman... Apart from a scant few Wang Hou who were merely Golden Immortals, all the others were Taiyi Golden Immortals or above!

Not to mention that nearly ten Wang Hou who had come in person were still inside the hall, all firm supporters of the Nine Kings faction. With enemies both inside and out, the Divine Emperor Palace instantly fell into a disadvantageous position.

As for the dozens of foreign Wang Hou they had colluded with, their expressions had already changed drastically. Their reluctance to fight was practically written openly across their faces.

Chinese Wang Hou had always been Earth's ceiling in terms of combat strength. In terms of foundations, they utterly crushed the rest of the world. Just by the number of Star Soldiers alone, while not every Chinese Wang Hou possessed one, at least eight out of every ten did.

And abroad?

Many Taiyi Golden Immortal Wang Hou did not even possess weapons of that caliber.

It was commonly believed that two foreign Wang Hou could only match one
