Chapter 5919

“Soul Eater, do you really think I don’t know what you’re plotting?”

Zhan E took a few slow steps back, his gray eyes calm and unmoved as he looked at Soul Eater Venerable struggling wildly within the chains.

“Feigning submission, using the Evil Path Hall as a place to recover,” he said evenly. “And once you return to your peak, the first one you’d turn on would be me. Isn’t that right?”

His tone was flat, as though he were stating an obvious fact. “After all, if the Soul-Devouring Demon Art is to advance further, it needs a stronger divine soul to consume. And tell me—what could be more tempting than the divine soul of an Immortal Realm cultivator who has walked the path of reincarnation for ten thousand years?”

Soul Eater’s frantic struggle froze.

Because Zhan E was right.

That had been his plan all along—to hide within the Evil Path Hall, recover under its protection, and once his strength returned, seize the chance to devour Zhan E’s soul and take control of the hall. At that point, who in the Twelfth Heaven could stand against him?
