Chapter 313: Chapter 307: Jiang Hou, Your Secret Has Been Exposed
The rooftop of the building, as Jiang Hou just appeared, a somewhat dry and gloomy voice slowly sounded.
"You finally appeared."
As he spoke, the shadow in the darkness squirmed, and soon a humanoid monster covered in gray scales appeared, exuding a faint terrifying aura.
However, the power within this monster, like Feitong, was invisibly suppressed by the real world.
Plus the eerie ability to conceal its aura, apart from the keen-sensed Jiang Hou, even the ’scent-savvy’ Feitong didn’t realize that a late-tier Seven monster was lurking nearby.
"You, were waiting for me?" Jiang Hou’s eyes narrowed slightly, not making a move immediately.
The message he received on his phone earlier included content from Zong Zheng Nan Mo in the group chat over ten days ago, mentioning someone was targeting him, advising caution.
It seems that this is the guy.
The hideous-looking monster nodded slowly, uttering in a somewhat stiff tone, "That’s right, I’ve been waiting for you."
"A Demigod is targeting you, ready to strike at any moment, but I can help you."
"...A Demigod!" This news made Jiang Hou pause; he seemed to have no interaction with those top-notch Transcendents, let alone enmity, unless...
At this point, the monster continued, "The inheritance mark on you has been exposed, it involves the path to godhood, enough to drive all Demigods mad."
"What mark are you talking about?"
Jiang Hou raised an eyebrow, "And that so-called Demigod, I don’t even know who you are, and you say a Demigod has targeted me?"
The monster’s mouth opened wide, revealing a somewhat frightening smile, speaking slowly and unperturbed.
"Who I am is not important, what matters is that only I can help you."
"Also, there is a traitor inside your Heavenly Retribution."
"That Demigod determined you have an inheritance mark by analyzing all the data about you from Heavenly Retribution, including the comparison of resource exchanges and your strength increase."
Jiang Hou replied blandly, "Then it will be disappointed, my rapid increase in strength is due to the Giant Beast talent."
"The Giant Beast inheritance allows me to absorb energy resources from other Era Systems, enhancing my physique and accelerating the growth of the Giant Beast, unrelated to any inheritance mark."
Although the monster made a compelling argument, the cautious Jiang Hou still did not acknowledge the existence of the inheritance mark.
Seeing this, the monster fell silent for a moment, a touch of amazement flickered in its eyes, but then it grinned sinisterly and said,
"Rest assured, I’m not interested in any mark, after we fend off that Demigod’s attack, just give me some of the Giant Beast’s flesh and blood tissue."
"Giant Beast’s flesh and blood tissue."
Jiang Hou’s eyes instantly turned sharp, looking coldly at the monster, he spoke in a low, slow voice, "It’s you, Purple Dragon Divine Hall, Ke Min."
Boom!
Endless black and red Demonic Energy erupted centered on Jiang Hou, covering the sky and enveloping a range of hundreds of meters instantly.
And the moment the Hell Domain unfolded, Jiang Hou’s right hand made a grasping motion, the terrifyingly sharp Demon Blade was drawn from the void, while Demonic Energy swirled underfoot, the Hell Throne rose with a boom.
"Wait..." the monster in the ruins was startled, just about to say something when Jiang Hou had already slashed down.
Boom!
A blade light spanning a hundred meters tore through the sky, instantly appearing over the monster’s head, surrounded by countless phantom evil spirits exuding a pressure comparable to late-tier Seven.
"Jiang Hou, you better not be ungrateful."
Boom! The monster roared angrily, its arms swelling into gigantic claws over ten meters long, tearing the void.
The sharpness of the Demon Blade cut through everything, directly severing the monster’s claws which were suppressed by both the real world and the Hell Domain, then the blade light flickered.
Swish! Swish!
The terrifying speed of the Instant Demon Slash, combined with the blade’s sharpness, shredded the monster’s limbs and body before it could even react, leaving only the head.
Roar!
Behind Jiang Hou, Hellish Demonic Energy surged, a Celestial Ghost phantom hundreds of meters tall appeared, clawing the remaining monster head.
As it was dragged into the depths of Hell by the Celestial Ghost, the monster’s head continued to shout frantically.
"Jiang Hou, don’t you want to know who betrayed you inside Heavenly Retribution, don’t you want to counterattack that Demigod... only I can help you..."
Boom!
When the Celestial Ghost phantom disappeared along with the monster’s head, the surrounding Hell Domain crumbled, transforming into surging black and red Hell Power that disappeared within him.
Instantly, only Jiang Hou in a black Emperor’s Robe with black hair over his shoulders remained on the rooftop.
Standing at the edge of the rooftop, Jiang Hou looked over the city, speaking softly to himself, "The person in the Purple Dragon Hall seems to need to be dealt with in advance, otherwise it’s always a hassle."
"As for that Demigod..." Jiang Hou paused at this point.
Having a Demigod lurking in the shadows was indeed troublesome.
Although his current strength could face off against ordinary Demigods head-on, and he possessed an Ancient Dragon Scale capable of annihilating anything below a True God, just because he wasn’t afraid didn’t mean his family and friends could ignore the threat.
However, this issue wasn’t as severe as it might seem.
As long as he hadn’t confirmed that his possession of an inheritance mark was exposed, that Demigod wouldn’t make a move, perhaps even daring not to set foot in the real world.
Even though the high-level human strong have ventured deep into the ruins, Demigods from the Dark Realm and Outer World still dared not enter the real world.
Once they did enter, it would trigger the ’curse’ left behind by the True Gods, snatching a wisp of their aura.
And those three beings—Heavenly Retribution, Demon Dragon, and Ancient God Research Institute—who stepped into true godhood at the dawn of civilization, each possessed immensely terrifying powers, far stronger than ordinary True Gods.
Once such beings took things seriously, even if the Demigod with locked-in aura escaped deep into the ruins, it would be of no use.
Only death awaited.
This was also why Jiang Hou acted decisively to explode that monster after confirming its identity.
The disaster caused by Abudan that killed tens of millions was orchestrated by that young man from the Purple Dragon Hall for some experiments and data for studying human evolution.
In Jiang Hou’s view, regardless of the greatness or nobility of the reason, such behavior had lost all humanity.
Cooperating with such a person was akin to seeking help from a wolf, risking exposure of more secrets.
His top priority now was the Demon God’s invasion in a few days, entering the Outer World with the Ancient Demon Gods to carve up the Ancient Divine King’s ’corpse.’
If he could obtain a wisp of the Ancient Divine King’s origin, his strength would skyrocket again, perhaps even entering the ninth tier in one go.
Then he wouldn’t need to worry about the secret of the inheritance mark, enticing the Demigod into the ruins and directly blasting it apart.
Then, using the sealed monster’s head as evidence, he would descend upon the Western Continent Alliance, crushing them with the guise of collusion between the Purple Dragon Divine Hall and the Demigod in the ruins.
Killing everyone, including the purple-haired youth Ke Min, without exception.
In the face of absolute power, all schemes and intrigues are shattered.
Thinking of this, a faint anticipation appeared on Jiang Hou’s face, his figure twisted, and he disappeared directly.
And just as Jiang Hou returned home, a slightly regretful voice sounded in the laboratory far away in the Western Continent, "That person is very cautious, he didn’t fall for it."
