Chapter 188 Exposed
Lin Feng had been paying attention to the micro-expressions of Emperor Xingyue. After the other party showed a sudden change, he knew that his guess was true.
Even if it is not completely correct, it must be partially correct.
Emperor Xingyue quickly regained his composure, but the smile on his face was no longer so natural.
"You are a smart person. I have tried my best not to underestimate you, but I still underestimated your sense of smell." Emperor Xingyue simply stopped pretending and slashed the wooden sword across the ground, making a harsh sound. "How do you know all this?"
"So, Emperor Xingyue, do you admit that what I just said was correct?" Lin Feng already felt that he was shrouded in a crisis.
If the other party stops pretending, there is only one possibility - the other party is completely determined to kill him and will never give him a chance to escape.
"I have always done things perfectly. Even that old thief Caesar didn't notice. How do you know all this?" A trace of ferocity appeared on the face of Emperor Xingyue. "Is it Black Sol?"
A familiar name popped out of the mouth of Emperor Xingyue, and Lin Feng immediately knew that all his guesses were true!
"I have always been curious about why the real location of the Forbidden Island is not in the Caesar Empire, but in the Star-Moon Empire. And Mr. Thor chose to bury the secret in the Star-Moon Empire instead of anywhere else. It turns out that all of this was a trap set up by you and Gabriel. Your goal is to completely swallow up the Caesar Empire and finally dominate the entire magic continent!"
Lin Feng stared into the eyes of Emperor Xingyue, connecting the information he had obtained before one by one, and he became more and more aware of Emperor Xingyue's intentions.
The story begins when Lin Feng obtained Black Sol's relics in Sunset Town.
The reason why Black Sol was captured and thrown into the Iron Jungle was, on the one hand, because he had put himself in the game, and on the other hand, because he discovered the forbidden island built by successive popes of the Caesar Empire, and took away the Heart of Chaos, and was hunted down by the Vatican.
At that time, the Holy See did not know the true function of the Heart of Chaos, so they had no intention of killing Black Sol, but just kept him imprisoned and monitored his every move.
Before Black Saul went to prison, he placed his belongings in Sunset Town.
In order to prevent Hong Zhou's people from seeking death, he did not tell them the true location of the forbidden island. Instead, he wrote it in a letter and told the person who received the letter, that is, Lin Feng.
The reason why Lin Feng was surprised when he saw the coordinates of the Forbidden Island was because the Forbidden Island was not within the territory of the Caesar Empire, but in the capital of the Star-Moon Empire.
That is where the Star-Moon Palace is located.
You have to know that the Star-Moon Palace is the capital of the Star-Moon Empire, and Pope Gabriel is the Pope of the Holy See of Light of the Caesar Empire. The two have almost nothing to do with each other.
Why is the Forbidden Island in such an important place in the Star-Moon Empire? Could it be that the Star-Moon Emperor turned a blind eye to it?
Analyzing from another perspective, the purpose of the existence of the Forbidden Island is to create gods.
Ever since the disappearance of the last God of Magic on the Magic Continent 500 years ago, the word "God" has gradually become the obsession of the magician group on the Magic Continent.
Every magician wants to reach that height. Among them, Pope Gabriel is a person with a deep obsession. Naturally, he became the executor of the deification plan.
Gabriel had a great desire for power, and he knew very well that Caesar had long been wary of him.
Once Caesar knew that Gabriel was doing such dark things, he would definitely have a reason to kill him and then find an obedient person to be the new Pope of the Holy See of Light.
Gabriel also understood this, so he needed to find someone who could compete with Caesar and have no conflict of interest with him.
So, he found the Star-Moon Emperor.
Although we don't know what specific agreement they reached, we can guess that in the end, the Star-Moon Emperor must have agreed to place the Forbidden Island within the territory of the Star-Moon Empire.
What Pope Gabriel needs to pay is the interests of Caesar's Empire.
After realizing that Emperor Xingyue and Gabriel were in cahoots with each other, many questions became clear, including why Emperor Xingyue wanted to kill Lin Feng.
In the battle of Shadowmoon City, Pope Gabriel was killed by the dragon clan, and the reason why the dragon clan appeared was because he was there.
It can be said that Gabriel's defeat was caused by him.
If Lin Feng had not appeared, Gabriel might have already obtained the power of God, trampled Caesar under his feet, and had the power to dominate the entire Caesar Empire.
In that case, how could the Star-Moon Emperor, who conspired with Gabriel, swallow this humiliation?
Success is a failure.
All the anger and blame fell on Lin Feng.
That was why the Star-Moon Emperor wanted to kill him. Only with his death, the things he got from Black Sol would be returned to their original owners; only with his death, the matter about the forbidden island would not be exposed; only with his death, could the Star-Moon Emperor continue to implement his plan to annex the Caesar Empire.
When it came to this analysis, Lin Feng encountered some obstacles.
Now that Gabriel is dead, does the Star-Moon Emperor still need the Forbidden Island?
The Star-Moon Emperor is a swordsman, does he also need to become a god?
With these two questions and an extremely bold assumption, Lin Feng came up with a possibility -
Gabriel is not dead yet!
Only Gabriel's body died that day, but for a strong man of Gabriel's level, true death can only be achieved when the soul is also annihilated.
Only if Gabriel was not dead, would the Star-Moon Emperor know so well that Lin Feng possessed the Heart of Chaos.
And if Gabriel is not dead, where is he?
Forbidden Island!
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
The Star-Moon Emperor suddenly burst into laughter!
"Lion Wood! If I didn't know your background, I would have thought you were a witness to the conspiracy between Gabriel and I!"
"That's right! The forbidden island is in the Star-Moon Empire! I can also tell you that it is above the Star-Moon Palace! But what's the use of you knowing this? The day you step into the Star-Moon Palace, your body and soul are destined to stay here!"
"I might as well tell you that I hired assassins from the Black Tide to kill you, but they disappointed me so much that they told me that they couldn't do anything to you for the time being!"
"If they can't touch you, then I will do it myself! My sword has not been unsheathed for a long time. You will be the first witness to the title of Half-Step Sword God in decades!"
The Star-Moon Emperor slowly raised the wooden sword in his hand. The sword now looked rotten and had mottled cracks on it.
Wood chips kept falling, the vermilion sword body made a buzzing sound, and emitted a dazzling blood-red light!
"Zhenyue·The Wrath of the Sky God of War!"
The Star-Moon Emperor’s face turned red, and he slashed down with his sword!
The shadow of the giant sword instantly enveloped Lin Feng and swallowed him!
