Chapter 499: Chapter 133: Gathering of Supremes (2 in 1) Part 2 Chapter 499: Chapter 133: Gathering of Supremes (2 in 1) Part 2 “Because you suspected my son of feigning death to escape, you uncovered the corpses of all the little cats in the wilderness!”

The Cat Emperor said through gritted teeth, “Such actions are indeed outrageous and inhumane!”

“And this time, all because the Purple Emperor was too injured to come here, you, White Rainbow, came to this dense forest instead and conducted a massive search. The method you used was no different from what the Purple Emperor did in the past: all creatures of house cat were indiscriminately killed, their bodies left in the wild, and their spirits were scrutinized!”

Mao Yimiao said in a stern voice, “White Rainbow! Dare you say your actions are unrelated to my son?”

White Rainbow took a deep breath and replied, “One who wishes to blame will always be able to find words to do so!”

Lan Dan frowned and said, “To go so far…White Rainbow, Sister Miao’s words are accurate and based on facts. Why talk about attributing blame? I now need to know, for what purpose did you capture the kittens?”

White Rainbow angrily said, “As fellow assassins of the Heavenly Judge, you actually don’t trust me?”

Lan Dan frowned, “Your words are indeed strange. What correlation is there between being an assassin of the Heavenly Judge and the actions you have taken? I do not want to see the day when your name also appears in the Heavenly Judgment. Friend, wielding a weapon… There are already too many names in the Heavenly Judgment, with the Purple Emperor being one of them.”

He then turned to the Cat Emperor and said, “Sister Miao… I’m still not quite clear on the reason for this. The Purple Emperor… what does he want with the kitten princess? Is he forcing you out into the open?”

The Cat Emperor said coldly, “Lan Dan, lean as you may towards the honor of Nine Colors, do you truly not remember… the blood of the Demon Emperor, the vein of the Heavenly Demon, the body without blemish, the endless soul, the path of immortality, and the door of the Great Dao. Do you not remember this phrase?”

Lan Dan’s mouth gaped open, “Ah… Ah…”

The Cat Emperor contemptuously looked at White Rainbow and said, “You know this saying, as does the Purple Emperor. Undoubtedly, the dignified high grade assassin of the Heavenly Judge before us, White Rainbow, must also know it. Isn’t this your scheme?”

“White Rainbow, what face do you have to claim your innocence? And what face do you have to claim no involvement in this matter?”

The Cat Emperor’s gaze was as sharp as a dagger, coating White Rainbow’s face with a bloody sheen.

Lan Dan sighed, his aura slightly unsettled due to his disturbed state of mind.

He muttered, “The blood of the Demon Emperor, the vein of the Heavenly Demon, the body without blemish, the endless soul, the path of immortality, and the door of the Great Dao… wasn’t this matter deemed taboo a long time ago?”

“The source of several great wars in the past was this, wasn’t it? How could it be happening again now…”

White Rainbow’s face turned purple with rage, as he shouted, “Is this the kind of person White Rainbow is?!”

“Then tell me, what are you doing here? If there is nothing to hide, then tell us!”

“I…I came to do my task!”

“Damn your task!”

The atmosphere became increasingly tense between the two parties; the four powerhouses began to exchange heated words.

Feng Yin, however, saw the situation very clearly. This quarrel was inevitable.

The cause of this quarrel was the unpredictable element on the scene: Lan Dan.

It is very clear now that whichever side Lan Dan leans towards will have the greater chance of winning. It’s certain to the point of almost clinching the victory.

Given this, of course, efforts should be made to win him over.

Although Feng Yin didn’t know how severe the Cat Emperor’s injuries were, he could guess that the Cat Emperor’s side had virtually no chance of winning unless they recruited Lan Dan to their side.

If they had a chance, they would have gone into battle straight away. Why negotiate?

On the other hand, the same goes for White Rainbow.

He might not fear the Cat Emperor in a one-on-one battle, but now he is facing two opponents. One is the Cat Emperor, Mao Yimiao, and the other is a woman with an explosive temperament. Since she has the Cat Emperor as her companion, she is surely not a weakling. Without Lan Dan’s help, there would be no chance of winning.

If it were any other time, he could just withdraw, but now in this situation he is unable to make a retreat.

The overlapping and intertwining of the two situations makes neither willing to give in, which brings to mind an old saying: fearing from both sides.

“Lan Dan, this kind of thing is forbidden in ancient times. How could I, as a person, willingly commit such a taboo.”

White Rainbow looked serious: “The Cat Emperor appears to be irrefutable, but in fact, he is just splashing blood and fabricating charges! Even if you step a thousand steps back, it was the Purple Emperor, who had a grudge with you and slaughtered countless cats, not me. Where is the logic in this?”

The Cat Emperor pressed hard, and White Rainbow flat-out denied it, even counterattacking.

On the side, Lan Dan’s eyebrows were tightly knitted. He stayed silent, unable to decide.

If it was purely on an emotional basis, he would lean towards believing the Cat Emperor.

But from the standpoint of the human race, he would not hesitate to help White Rainbow.

Regardless of the Cat Emperor being in the right, he is still a demon.

Even if White Rainbow is wrong, he is still a man.

Caught in this dilemma, Lan Dan is inevitably stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Both sides immediately became deadlocked.

One side insisted on their doubts, while the other refused to leave, neither side willing to yield.

The Cat Emperor certainly would not back down. If he left, White Rainbow would surely continue to hunt his daughter. If anything went wrong, it would be a lifelong regret.

White Rainbow also didn’t want to leave, as backing down would be equivalent to being unable to continue his mission. It would also make Lan Dan suspicious. If Lan Dan really backed off, he would have to face two Great Demons jointly attacking him. How would he cope?

Of the four powerful beings present, Lan Dan would be the most inclined to walk away.

But he also knew that if he actually did walk away, the battle today would be unavoidable.
