Chapter 1292: Chapter 1292: The Frustrated Kingston Stone Martial Emperor

Not only a group of Thundercloud Peak disciples, but even the master of Thundercloud Peak, the Martial Emperor Thunderclap, was now looking towards Isaac Campbell, seemingly wanting to confirm the veracity of Kingston Stone’s claims.

His intuition told him that what Martial Emperor Kingston Stone said was very likely true.

"How come? Afraid to admit that you betrayed my Mist Lost Forest?"

Seeing that Isaac Campbell seemed to ignore his meaning, Martial Emperor Kingston Stone scoffed.

At the same time, he turned to Martial Emperor Thunderclap, with a solemn expression, and said: "Martial Emperor Thunderclap, although I do not know why the traitor from my Mist Lost Forest ended up at your ’Thundercloud Peak’... I still need to remind you."

"Isaac Campbell, this man, is not trustworthy nor worthy of your protection! If he can betray my ’Mist Lost Forest,’ he can equally betray your ’Thundercloud Peak.’"

Now, Martial Emperor Kingston Stone was almost certain.

Isaac Campbell had become a disciple of Thundercloud Peak, protected by Martial Emperor Thunderclap.

He was clear in his heart.

The strength of Martial Emperor Thunderclap was beyond his own.

To punish Isaac Campbell, the traitor under Martial Emperor Thunderclap’s watchful eyes, or even to retrieve the ’Mystic Stele’ swapped by Isaac Campbell, he could only outsmart, not overpower.

"Betrayed Mist Lost Forest?"

As soon as Martial Emperor Kingston Stone finished speaking, without waiting for Martial Emperor Thunderclap’s response, Isaac Campbell had already reacted.

He casually lifted his head, glanced lightly at Martial Emperor Kingston Stone, and said, "I admit I was once your direct disciple...but, me leaving Mist Lost Forest, are you sure it was my own betrayal, and not because you couldn’t tolerate me?"

"I couldn’t tolerate you?"

Stunned by Isaac Campbell’s words, Martial Emperor Kingston Stone, after a moment’s pause, revealed a cold sneer.

However, just as Martial Emperor Kingston Stone was about to continue speaking, something oddly made him shut his mouth.

And the cold smirk on his face, at this moment, completely solidified.

All this, because a sound condensed by Origin Force reached his ear:

"Kingston, if you dare to accuse me again of betraying Mist Lost Forest, I’ll give the stele to Martial Emperor Thunderclap right now... By then, it’ll be even harder than ascending to heaven to get the stele back from him!"

The Origin Force sound that reached Martial Emperor Kingston Stone’s ears, indeed came from ’Isaac Campbell.’

Threat!

An outright threat!

Isaac Campbell, within a few words, effectively sealed Martial Emperor Kingston Stone’s mouth.

Just as the saying goes ’strike the snake at its seven inches,’ Isaac Campbell’s actions were no different from this.

Of course, the effectiveness of Isaac Campbell’s threat was also because Martial Emperor Kingston Stone was still obsessed with the ’Mystic Stele’ he swapped out.

He knew, Martial Emperor Kingston Stone’s main goal was not to punish him, the traitor, but to get that stele.

Compared to that stele, his value as a traitor was negligible.

"You... you heinous disciple!"

Hearing Isaac Campbell’s threat, Martial Emperor Kingston Stone was infuriated to the point of ascending to heaven, yet he could only curse Isaac Campbell through condensed Origin Force.

He really feared Isaac Campbell would hand the stele over to Martial Emperor Thunderclap.

If the stele was in Isaac Campbell’s hands, there was hope to retrieve it, a glimmer of hope.

But if it was in the hands of Martial Emperor Thunderclap, there was almost no hope of getting it back.

Between the two, he naturally preferred the stele to remain in Isaac Campbell’s hands, rather than falling into Martial Emperor Thunderclap’s.

As for whether the stele was still in Isaac Campbell’s possession, he had no doubt.

Given Isaac Campbell’s greed, unless facing a lifethreatening danger, he would never hand over that stele to someone else.

"What? Can’t say anything? Guilty conscience?"

Facing Martial Emperor Kingston Stone, who seemed to be startled into silence by his words before everyone, Isaac Campbell spoke with a mocking face.

"Isaac Campbell, what exactly is going on?"

At this moment, Martial Emperor Thunderclap finally spoke up, his voice stern, imbued with no detectable emotion.

"Master, I indeed was a disciple of Mist Lost Forest and also the direct disciple of Martial Emperor Kingston Stone... However, when I visited Mist Lost Forest to see my sister and found she had been murdered by him, I left Mist Lost Forest."

While speaking to Martial Emperor Thunderclap, Isaac Campbell’s face showed bitter hatred, and he gritted his teeth.

"And in order to eradicate me completely, he framed me as a traitor of Mist Lost Forest!"

By the end of his words, Isaac Campbell’s face, full of sorrow, was now streaming with tears.

Woosh!

As soon as Isaac Campbell uttered these words, the whole place was in an uproar.

Including the disciples of Mist Lost Forest, nearly everyone’s gaze fell onto Martial Emperor Kingston Stone.

Those gazes contained disdain, mockery, and anger...

Even though a few disciples of Mist Lost Forest had earlier heard about Isaac Campbell betraying Mist Lost Forest, they did not know the reason behind his betrayal.

For them, it was an enigma, an unsolvable mystery.

And today, the ’answer to the mystery’ seemed to have been revealed.

"This Martial Emperor Kingston Stone, although a renowned Martial Emperor on the Cloud Skies Continent, to think he could do such a thing... it’s truly infuriating!"

"Yes. If he can even harm the relatives of his direct disciples, what else is he incapable of doing?"

"Back then, I too had thought about joining Mist Lost Forest, to become a disciple under Martial Emperor Kingston Stone... Looking back now, thankfully I made a different choice."

"Compared to Isaac Campbell, your choice was the right one."

...

Regardless if they were from Mist Hidden Island or a group of Martial Emperor disciples from the Cloud Skies Continent, while whispering among themselves, they looked at Kingston Stone, the Martial Emperor, with disdain on their faces.

Their gaze was filled with aversion.

At this moment, even the ten disciples behind Kingston Stone felt a mix of shame and indignation.

If not for the fear that Kingston Stone might act against them, they would have run as far away as possible, distancing themselves from Kingston Stone and pretending not to know him.

Led by Flora Blue, many disciples from Thundercloud Peak looked in sympathy at Isaac Campbell while glaring angrily at Kingston Stone.

Kingston Stone’s expression was extremely ugly, to the point of being hideous.

He had never expected Isaac Campbell to turn the tables like this, framing him and making him feel stifled and full of resentment; he wished he could clarify the whole story and unveil the truth to the world.

But could he really do that?

Once he does that, it would undoubtedly drive Isaac Campbell to a corner, and the ’Mysterious Stele’ might fall into the hands of the Thunder Emperor.

That was not the outcome he wanted.

Seeing that Kingston Stone did not refute Isaac Campbell’s accusations and everyone’s mockery, those present believed Isaac Campbell’s words even more.

"Humph!"

Right then, a sound like a thunderous cold hum burst forth, ringing painfully in everyone’s ears.

As people regained their senses and looked towards the source of the sound, wondering who made it.

Bang!!

A thunderous sound ensued, accompanied by a vast shockwave that shifted everyone’s attention.

Soon after, most people realized that Kingston Stone had disappeared.

Only a few with higher cultivation levels could clearly see that Kingston Stone had not disappeared but was blasted away with a tremendous force, severely injured.

These were also the people who quickly turned their attention to the Thunder Emperor.

Without notice, the Thunder Emperor had already positioned himself in front of Isaac Campbell.

The person who had just acted was him.

He had always been satisfied with his direct disciple, Isaac Campbell.

But today, someone had framed Isaac Campbell, making him doubt Isaac Campbell’s character momentarily, and in a surge of rage, he directly attacked Kingston Stone.

"Kingston Stone, I don’t want to see you again... If you dare show up in front of me within three breaths, I will kill you!"

As most people caught on and turned their gazes towards the Thunder Emperor, he calmly spoke, his tone sharp and filled with a threatening ferocity.

At that moment, Kingston Stone, who just took some Pill Medicine to heal, changed his expression drastically and hurriedly fled without waiting for his injuries to heal.

His speed was faster than lightning.

He did not seem at all like someone who had just been injured.

For a time, the vast sea returned to calmness.

A group of Martial Emperor disciples from the Lost Stony Forest looked at each other, not knowing whether to leave or stay, caught in a dilemma.

On another side.

Today was the day the Mist Hidden Competition commenced on Mist Hidden Island, and because Wyatt Barnes was fully engrossed in comprehending the martial arts tome ’Supreme Falling Star Arrow’, he had not snapped out of it yet.

Thus, to wait for him, the group from Mystic Profound Peak departed a bit late.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

...

Leading the group from Mystic Profound Peak was the Mystic Profound Martial Emperor, Colin Yorke,

With Wyatt Barnes taking two young girls, walking alongside Colin Yorke, they attracted a lot of attention.

Of course, most of the attention was drawn by the two young girls.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian, the Mist Hidden Competition this time is heavily invested by Mist Hidden Island. The victor will receive ten Holy Stones!"

Along the way, Colin Yorke said to Wyatt Barnes.

"Ten Holy Stones?"

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes lit up.

His interest in the Mist Hidden Competition hosted by Mist Hidden Island was because of the Holy Stones, as they could help enhance his cultivation.

Currently, having stepped into the Martial Emperor Realm and the effects of the Nirvana Pill being exhausted, he found cultivation increasingly difficult, even though his talent had already reached the pinnacle of talent on the Cloud Skies Continent.

With the Holy Stones, everything would change.

His cultivation would rapidly improve, advancing by leaps and bounds.

Not long after, Wyatt Barnes and the group entered the sea area and headed directly towards a location thousands of miles north of Mist Hidden Island.

There, the Mist Hidden Competition was to be held, which was also their destination.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, as if noticing something, Wyatt Barnes’s pupils shrank abruptly.

In the distance, a figure, moving at an extremely fast pace, was heading towards them, getting closer.

As the figure approached, Wyatt Barnes’s expression darkened.

"Kingston Stone!"

The person hurrying towards them, seemingly fleeing for his life, was none other than the owner of the Lost Stony Forest in Cloud Skies Continent, Martial Emperor Kingston Stone.
