390: Scapegoat, counter-espionage

After emptying the Sect treasuries of the overlord Sect forces that supported the Heavenly Devil God Sect, Long Aotian spread news in the heavenly domains where these overlord Sect forces were located:

“Have you heard? The Heavenly Devil God Sect gathered the strongest experts from our Sect to the Tianmo Divine Territory to fight against the Dragon Heaven Palace. The result was, good heavens, the Heavenly Devil God Sect’s Sect Master, Ang Shenma, led the Supreme God Army to take advantage of the emptiness and secretly emptied our Sect’s treasury. For this, our Sect Master was furious and declared he would join the Dragon Heaven Palace and be irreconcilable with the Heavenly Devil God Sect…”

Initially, no one believed such news.

But as news came from the Tianmo Divine Territory that Ang Shenma had run away with his Sister-in-law, and the Supreme God Army had also disappeared, these overlord Sect forces began to be skeptical, thinking there was no harm in opening their own Sect treasuries to check.

The moment they checked, they were all dumbfounded.

Not even a single hair was left for them inside?

Their Sect’s accumulated wealth of at least hundreds of millions of years, just like that, turned into nothing?!

After the initial shock, the overlords all became enraged!

The Heavenly Devil God Sect must give them an explanation!

As for the Heavenly Devil God Sect denying it, claiming it wasn't them but the enemy force Dragon Heaven Palace, framing their Heavenly Devil God Sect—which of these overlords was a fool?

If it wasn't your Heavenly Devil God Sect, then your Heavenly Devil God Sect should let your Sect Master Ang Shenma come out and explain.

If it wasn't your Heavenly Devil God Sect, then where did the one hundred thousand Supreme God Army go?

We gathered our Sect’s strongest combat power to help your Heavenly Devil God Sect attack the Dragon Heaven Palace, but your Heavenly Devil God Sect, instead, took advantage of the emptiness to steal all the treasures from our Sect’s treasury. This is outrageous!

The overlords were all filled with righteous indignation, and the three billion allied army instantly split into more than thirty Sect armies.

If the Heavenly Devil God Sect didn’t give them a reasonable explanation, they would absolutely not attack the Dragon Heaven Palace with the Heavenly Devil God Sect… “Damn it, what in the world is that kid Ang Shenma doing? He wouldn’t really have taken his Sister-in-law and the Supreme God Army, caused a ruckus, and then run off, would he?!”

Ang Molu listened to the constant stream of bad news being reported from below, and the more he listened, the darker his face became, like the bottom of a pot. The more he listened, the more he felt both angry and furious, and he was on the verge of a complete meltdown.

Thinking that the news might be true, Ang Molu’s heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Their Heavenly Devil God Sect’s treasury, couldn't it also be empty?

“Go, tell that blind man, Ang Divine Spark, that this Grand Elder Sect Master gives their Three-Eyed God Clan three days—no, one day—to find their Clan Chief and have their Clan Chief come out to explain. Otherwise, all responsibility for this matter will be borne by the Three-Eyed God Clan!

At the same time, go invite the ten Grand Elders and the ten Protectors. This Grand Elder Sect Master wants to open the Sect treasury to verify the authenticity of the news and needs their support!”

“Understood!”

The answer was obvious.

Upon receiving Ang Molu’s order to find someone, the Three-Eyed God Clan was both surprised and angry, but ultimately complied with Ang Molu’s wishes and went to search for the person.

But the person had been soft-imprisoned by Long Aotian in the First Layer Space World of the Nine Treasures Glazed Chaos World Tower, so how could they possibly find him?

Unable to find the person, the Heavenly Devil God Sect was unable to defend itself, and the situation instantly spiraled out of control. Those overlords, united in their hatred, had strong backing due to their numbers and demanded compensation from the Heavenly Devil God Sect.

Ang Molu, as the self-proclaimed Immortal Realm Master, was inherently overbearing and strong-willed, so how could he possibly give in to their wishes?

Especially after he forcibly opened his own Sect treasury and found it also empty, even if Ang Molu wanted to compensate, what would he use to do so?

Moreover, he always felt that this matter was very strange and not that simple; their Heavenly Devil God Sect, and even all the overlord Sect forces supporting the Heavenly Devil God Sect, had been plotted against.

But he had no evidence!

And those overlords felt he was shirking responsibility and gave him no time to shift the blame, forcefully demanding that the Heavenly Devil God Sect must compensate them for their losses.

Furthermore, with the Supreme God Army absent, these united overlords felt confident and did not believe they couldn't contend with the Heavenly Devil God Sect.

Ang Molu couldn't agree, couldn't employ delaying tactics, and not agreeing would only cause those overlords to instantly rampage.

Ultimately!

After some delay, those overlords lost their patience and, united, surprisingly launched an attack on the Heavenly Devil God Sect first, which made all the Immortals in the entire Immortal Realm almost drop their jaws when they heard the news…
