"I didn't deceive you, A-Zi, I didn't deceive you!"

Faced with Purple Heavenly King's disappointed questioning, Duan Xiaodao was also emotionally agitated in his response.

He cared a lot about Purple Heavenly King's feelings.

It was precisely because he was afraid of affecting Purple Heavenly King's emotions that Duan Xiaodao almost immediately chose to confess to Purple Heavenly King.

For the past few months, Duan Xiaodao had been hearing about Qin Tian's reputation. He was happy for Qin Tian's strength and for the rise of War Dragon.

At the same time, however, he was worried about the conflict between War Dragon and Skull.

He wasn't worried about meeting Qin Tian; he was worried that if his identity was recognized by Qin Tian, the Purple Heavenly King he loved deeply would be unable to accept it and break up with him.

Thus, after arriving at his old home in Huaxia, while executing Skull's orders, Duan Xiaodao was also torn about how to reconcile with Qin Tian.

Just now, during his confrontation with Qin Tian, he decided to reveal his identity to Qin Tian. If he didn't, Qin Tian and his friends and brothers might die!

But to his surprise, when he chased after them, Qin Tian immediately recognized him: "Hey, Fourth Brother, long time no see!"

Upon hearing this familiar term of endearment, Duan Xiaodao froze.

Then Qin Tian said, "Why are you wearing a mask? Jeez, this mask is ugly."

"Boss, you're still the same as ever. Long time no see."

Duan Xiaodao excitedly took off the mask, walked over, looked at Qin Tian, and the two of them punched each other's chests, then tightly embraced!

Duan Xiaodao explained to Qin Tian the reason for wearing the mask and not recognizing him immediately.

"I know, I know. I recognized you as soon as I saw you in the living room. Haha."

Qin Tian laughed heartily, "Even with the mask, I would recognize you; even if you turned to ashes, I'd still know you! We've been brothers for over ten years. As soon as I see you, even if you use the Disguise Skill, I can recognize you. When I called the day before yesterday, your voice sounded a bit strange, and I felt something was off..."

"I really had no choice, my heart was conflicted," said Duan Xiaodao.

Qin Tian said with a smile, "I know, I also know you met our family elder, right?"

"How did you know? Did you meet the old man?" Duan Xiaodao was stunned.

"I met him, and he told me you crazily fell in love with a woman... Jeez, I didn't expect you'd get romantic and actively pursue a woman..."

Qin Tian said with deep emotion, "I was even more surprised that you fell in love with Purple Heavenly King; that woman seems a bit cold..."

"Sometimes, falling in love with someone is uncontrollable," mused Duan Xiaodao.

Qin Tian patted his shoulder, "More than two years, and you've become a poet; haha, you show-off..."

The two chatted in the woods about the past few years, finally returning to the most important topic, how to face Purple Heavenly King.

Duan Xiaodao ultimately decided to wear the mask again and go back with Qin Tian to see what Purple Heavenly King would do if she got her hands on him.

If it was just an exchange of hostages for reconciliation, that was the outcome Duan Xiaodao hoped for most.

But in contrary to what he wished, the unknown-to-him Purple Heavenly King insisted on killing Qin Tian and even used Murong Fei and others as threats.

No choice. The internally conflicted Duan Xiaodao could only reveal his identity now; otherwise, the situation might spiral further out of control.

At this moment, the situation was somewhat unforeseen for Duan Xiaodao.

He felt the murderous aura emanating from Purple Heavenly King, who felt deceived!

"A-Zi, what I said is the truth. You must believe me. I only recognized my brother now; I just don't want you two to fight."

Duan Xiaodao knew Purple Heavenly King's temper and looked at her earnestly, explaining sincerely.

At this moment, Purple Heavenly King was emotionally charged, glaring at Duan Xiaodao: "You've deceived me for so long, and now you still want to deceive me?"

"Leng Mian, I want to kill Qin Tian right now. Are you going to help me or help him?!"

Speaking with even more murderous intent!

Once these words were spoken, everyone was stunned, Duan Xiaodao's expression changed, and he felt immense pain!

Qin Tian also took a deep breath, looking at Purple Heavenly King with amazement.

This woman, how is she so stubborn? I haven't offended you, yet you insist on killing me?!

"A-Zi..."

"Don't call me A-Zi!"

"A-Zi, don't force me to choose... This doesn't need a choice! I've talked it over with my brother. As long as you release the War Dragon members, my brother will immediately go back and release White Heavenly King and Gold Heavenly King, ensuring their safety."

"Release them, then what? Then, can Skull coexist peacefully with War Dragon? I could, but the other Three Heavenly Kings and my godfather wouldn't agree! Don't have unrealistic dreams!"

Purple Heavenly King's words stunned Duan Xiaodao, his face turning cold.

Indeed, Skull and War Dragon were original enemies.

Now, Qin Tian had imprisoned two of Skull's Four Heavenly Kings and killed Meng Kuang, responsible for Skull's Asia branch, essentially wiping out Skull's Asia branch.

This shame and disgrace are absolutely intolerable for an entity like Skull!

Purple Heavenly King's words left Duan Xiaodao speechless.

"I want to kill Qin Tian; if you dare to stop me, I'll kill you too!"

Duan Xiaodao was still in shock when Purple Heavenly King's words caused him great pain!

"A-Zi, you've long repaid your father's kindness; why must you kill my brother?"

Duan Xiaodao's voice trembled, his face pale.

"My affairs are none of your business. Since you've become a member of War Dragon, we're enemies from now on!"

Whoosh!

Purple Heavenly King displayed forced calmness, suppressing her agitated voice, speaking coldly.

As she spoke, she directly pulled out the dagger she carried.

The living room was instantly enveloped in a murderous atmosphere!

Purple Heavenly King really intended to make a move!

Duan Xiaodao sensed the aura from Purple Heavenly King; it's usually present only when she's angry!

Purple Heavenly King rushed towards Qin Tian, holding the dagger.

Murong Fei and several others shouted excitedly, "Woo woo."

Qin Tian's acupoints were sealed; if Purple Heavenly King acted, Qin Tian would have no way to resist!

Swish!

Duan Xiaodao unhesitatingly moved and blocked Qin Tian!

"Fourth Brother..." Qin Tian was speechless; he knew Duan Xiaodao would surely stop Purple Heavenly King from killing him, but he hadn't expected Duan Xiaodao to be so determined!

"Move!"

Seeing Duan Xiaodao protect Qin Tian with his body, Purple Heavenly King's face grew colder, with a stronger murderous aura!

"A-Zi..."

"I said move! Don't force me to kill you!"

"A-Zi... This is my brother; more than my own brother! If you want to kill him, first... kill me!"

Duan Xiaodao gritted his teeth and spoke, looking at Purple Heavenly King, with tears already welling in his eyes...
