"You!"
Supreme Heavenly Emperor looked down at the sword jutting from his chest, utterly shocked. The Progenitor of the Human Emperor Ye Clan had actually ambushed him?
"Ye Fan, as your Dao Companion and as the Progenitor of the Human Emperor Ye Clan, I can't keep watching you go further down the wrong path. Everything must end here."
The Progenitor of the Human Emperor Ye Clan looked sorrowful. She had never wanted things to come to this, but all her plans had been for this moment.
No matter what, she couldn't let Supreme Heavenly Emperor begin the Grand Sacrifice!
To that end, she had continued to earn his trust, waiting until his guard was at its lowest to wound him and seize an opportunity.
Clearly, she had succeeded.
"You actually betrayed me?"
Supreme Heavenly Emperor was heartbroken. It wasn't only the Progenitor of the Human Emperor Ye Clan; even the Human Emperor Sword had betrayed him. The Human Emperor Sword, which had just been lying off to the side, had willingly flown into the Progenitor's hand.
So this had all been an act. The Human Emperor Sword had played along, pretending to be subdued by force when it had really been lying in wait by his side.
"You need to wake up and return to who you once were!"
The Human Emperor Sword spoke. It had indeed been acting in concert with the Progenitor of the Human Emperor Ye Clan from the very beginning. Otherwise, why would it have so readily come with Ye Wuliang to Supreme Emperor's Palace?
The Human Emperor Sword released a special sealing force. The seal felt familiar to Supreme Heavenly Emperor. It seemed to be a method he had left behind when he was still the Human Emperor, hidden deep within the Human Emperor Sword
