The Xuan Nu Sect seemed calm on the surface, but the bamboo hut nearby had suddenly become bustling.

This Sect, due to the sudden and unexpected upheaval, had revealed its true foundation to Wu Wang.

At this moment, Wu Wang's expression resembled that of General Xiong San when he gobbled down nine kilograms of lemon fruit in one go—How did they cultivate them? Why are there so many Heavenly Immortals?

This was the foundation of a longstanding Major Immortal Sect indeed.

Mao Aowu had already sent out a plea for help using a signal talisman and was rushing at full speed to the nearest branch of the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion, where there was a magic treasure for communicating with the main pavilion.

Observing the figures bustling back and forth, Wu Wang sat on a bamboo chair to the side, sorting through the causes and consequences of this matter.

Indeed, there was such a Wancai Daoist, one of the first batch of Divine Children, who had secretly infiltrated the Human Domain.

But upon arriving in the Human Domain, he did nothing but stroll around, eventually blending in with the common people, living in seclusion, and immersing himself in poetry and song.

Those Jade Talismans were indeed that Wancai Daoist's 'casual musings.'

However, the visitor today was not the real Wancai Daoist; it was very likely a high-ranking member of the Ten Evils Hall, whose strength was definitely not limited to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Such an opponent is really difficult to deal with.

His purpose here was, in fact, to convey the message to the Human Domain that 'a second batch of Divine Children will soon arrive,' leveraging the strength of the Human Domain to obliterate this second batch.

The Ten Evils Hall was painstakingly established by those eight Divine Children; how could they possibly allow the second batch to easily reap the fruits of their labor?

And yet, this was an overt scheme.

If the Human Domain learned that the Beast Tide breaking through the defense line would carry such 'contraband,' how could they ignore the arrival of the second batch of Divine Children?

The adversary only needed to find a sufficiently influential Sect to pass this information to the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion, ensuring the Human Domain's upper echelons would receive it, thus perfectly achieving their goal.

Upon receiving the communication Jade Talisman first sent by the Xuan Nu Sect, the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion would likely issue an order to put the Human Domain's border forces on high alert.

And thus, the adversary's objective would be met.

Why the Xuan Nu Sect?

Wu Wang thought back to the reactions of the senior members of the Xuan Nu Sect when they interrogated the faux Wancai Daoist in the bamboo forest.

Toward someone with a tragic background, who had not killed anyone since arriving in the Human Domain, and who was likewise oppressed by Evil Gods—a 'fellow clansman'—most of them had felt compassion.

Clearly, that guy calculated human nature quite well.

Quite interesting.

Wu Wang crossed his legs. He was accustomed to having a drink when deep in thought, whether it be fruit brew or tea.

Unfortunately, this was the Xuan Nu Sect, and Lin Suqing had been taken away by Immortal Mu and had not returned.

Suddenly, a shouting voice came from nearby, "Brother Wuwang, what's going on here?"

"Is Teacher hurt?"

It was none other than Ji Mo and Lin Qi, led by two female disciples, arriving at this place.

Wu Wang gestured for them to calm down and then inquired about the situation in the reception hall.

Ji Mo responded that everything was stable; many experts were inquiring about the disturbance a hundred miles away, and the Xuan Nu Sect was simply explaining it as thieves causing trouble.

Ji Mo asked, puzzled, "What's happening here?"

Wu Wang extended his left hand, signaling them to come closer, and covered their hands with his own. He then conveyed the recent events to them through mental communication.

Ji Mo's brows knitted into the shape of the character for 'river,' while Lin Qi was somewhat indignant.

"The Ten Evils Hall truly deserves death!"

Lin Qi's aura fluctuated wildly, plainly very angry. He cursed outright,

"Do they think the Human Domain has no experts?

This slap has landed squarely on the Xuan Nu Sect's face! Is their ranking as one of the top ten Sects just for show?

How can this be tolerated!"

The Xuan Nu Sect experts inside and outside the bamboo hut, as well as those passing by, all looked over, their expressions somewhat gloomy.

Ji Mo quickly stood up, saying aloud, "Brother Lin is a holder of the Yan Emperor's Command."

The surrounding experts then withdrew their gazes and continued on their way.

"Sit down, Lin Qi," Wu Wang said via voice transmission, "no one wants to be toyed with like this. I will find a way to get even later. The Xuan Nu Sect has also lost two of their seniors."

Just then, Ling Xiaolan rushed out of the bamboo hut, saying hurriedly, "Wuwang, my Master is looking for you!"

"I'm coming."

Wu Wang took two leaps to the front of the bamboo hut, as the rows of middle-aged and elderly Fairy Immortals naturally parted to create a path.

To tell the truth, Wu Wang felt somewhat daunted by such a scene, his scalp tingling and his heart filled with uncertainty. The Ice Crystal film covering his skin thickened and hardened, and he almost pulled out his suit of treasure armor to put it on.

Standing next to Fairy Jue Tian was a tall, middle-aged woman. She stood quietly and was none other than the Sect Master of the Xuan Nu Sect, Jing Yue, whom Wu Wang had conversed with earlier.

She was a Transcendent, famous for a long time. According to rumors circulating in the Human Domain, the ranking lists she had left behind tens of thousands of years ago indicated she was a disciple of the wife of Emperor Yan of Shennong and was deeply trusted by Emperor Yan of Shennong.

Jing Yue turned to look at Wu Wang. She didn't say much, only nodding slightly to him before moving aside from the bedside.

"Is Elder Jue Tian feeling any better?" Wu Wang asked softly, now beside the bamboo bed.

Fairy Jue Tian opened her eyes, sighed softly, and looked at Wu Wang with a complicated expression.

"I regret not heeding the words of Sect Master Wuwang..." she said. "Perhaps the Xuan Nu Sect has been stable for too long and has become less vigilant..."

"Elder, you don't need to say such things," Wu Wang said gently.

"This time, the culprits from the Ten Evils Hall plotted meticulously, and the Xuan Nu Sect happened to be holding its disciple acceptance ceremony, so being a bit negligent is understandable.

It's also because I didn't insist enough before. If I had been more determined, we could have forced that traitor's hand right here."

"That Wancai Daoist had a hateful face behind his human one," Fairy Jue Tian spoke softly. "He deliberately spared my life to pass a message to you...

He lost last time, this time he won, and it's best two out of three between you. If he wins next time, he will take direct action against you."

"Oh?" Wu Wang pondered carefully and nodded slowly.

'Last time' must refer to the incident when the shapeshifted Whispering Snake moved the garrison of the domed encampment, and the fake Wancai Daoist was likely the mastermind behind it.

Best two out of three?

"It seems he hasn't won this time either," Wu Wang's lips curved slightly. "Elder, you should focus on recovering. Later, I'll head out with Fairy Ling, and whatever happens after, I'll have Fairy Ling come back and tell you.

Just rest now. You've lost a lot of vitality; sleep is better than anything else."

"Sigh..." Fairy Jue Tian gave a bitter smile and slowly closed her eyes.

"Sect Master Wuwang," Jing Yue spoke up beside him, "may I have a word with you?"

"Please, Sect Master Jing Yue."

The two exited the bamboo hut one after the other.

Ji Mo and Lin Qi, upon seeing Jing Yue, quickly rose to their feet, looking somewhat anxious.

But Jing Yue led Wu Wang to a corner and raised her hand, releasing a faint light that surrounded them both.

Jing Yue said, "I thank Sect Master Wuwang for the reminder this time."

"Sect Master Jing Yue, you can just call me by my name," Wu Wang responded earnestly. "I would like to request your assistance next. Once we confirm the whereabouts of that thief, we will capture them in one fell swoop."

However, Jing Yue said, "I have important matters to attend to and cannot leave the Xuan Nu Sect for even a moment. Later, I will send two Supreme Elders to accompany you and follow your orders."

"Thank you, Sect Master Jing Yue," Wu Wang said with a bow.

"Sect Master Wuwang, it's not that I don't trust you, or the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion," Jing Yue frowned. "What's with the Divine Power in your body?"

Wu Wang pondered for a moment. My abnormalities are indeed impossible to hide from such a highly skilled individual.

"My main practice is the Praying Star Technique," he explained. "I only cultivate the immortal arts of the Human Domain to extend my Lifespan."

As he spoke, the Half-moon Mark on Wu Wang's forehead appeared.

Hopefully, this can conceal the Star God's bloodline.

Even with Jing Yue's profound cultivation of mind, she clearly paused at this moment. Frowning, she said, "Are you that Little Golden Dragon who wants to bring trouble to that precious girl of mine?"

Wu Wang's eyes widened as he firmly said, "How can that be considered bringing trouble! Although our feelings aren't that deep yet, they can be considered mutual!"

Wait, 'that precious girl of hers'?

"Sect Master, you are?"

"Hmph," Jing Yue sized up Wu Wang, her expression changing. "My master is Lord Ting Huan. That girl is, in a way, my junior martial sister; I practically watched her grow up."

Immediately, Wu Wang put on an expression of righteous indignation and cursed, "That thief from the Ten Evils Hall dares to cause trouble on my Senior Sister's territory! I cannot share the heavens with him!"

"Who's your Senior Sister? You sly fox!" Jing Yue huffed, and waves finally stirred in her usually placid mind.

She was angered.

"I usually don't concern myself with worldly affairs. But now that I know it's you, and I trust His Majesty's judgment of character, I'll give this to you."

Jing Yue took out a Short Sword, two feet long, from her sleeve and said,

"This is my token. Should you need expert guards but do not wish to alert the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion, you can seek help from the Xuan Nu Sect."

"Thank you, Senior Sister." Wu Wang readily accepted the Short Sword and took out a box of rouge from his sleeve with a smile. "Please accept this small gift, Senior Sister. It's rouge produced only once every hundred years by the Women's Country."

"At my age, do I still need such a thing?" Jing Yue casually put the rouge into her sleeve, her tone indifferent.

"The experts from the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion are already thousands of miles away, and it is Pavilion Master Liu Baiyi who approaches. Are you really able to pinpoint the thief's location?

If you were just boasting earlier, I can help you send them away."

"Pavilion Master Liu is coming?" Wu Wang smiled and said, "Before dawn, I can pinpoint his whereabouts without him noticing."

"The Northern Wilderness's Praying Star Technique is indeed extraordinary."

"My Daoist name is Wu Wangzi. My real name is Xiong Ba, the Young Master of the second clan of the Northern Wilderness. My mother is Cang Xue, the leader of the Sun Ritual."

"Oh?" Jing Yue nodded slightly and said, "That actually makes quite a match... But how do you manage to practice both the Praying Star Technique and cultivation methods?"

"That..."

"If it's inconvenient to say, never mind. I was just asking casually."

Jing Yue's sleeves fluttered, and she had already dispersed the Barrier around her. Addressing those inside the bamboo hut, she said, "All Elders, heed my command. Tonight's further matters shall be directed by Wu Wangzi.

In the future, if Wu Wangzi asks for assistance, the Xuan Nu Sect must not refuse."

With these words, she rode the clouds away toward the back mountain. The gazes of all the Immortals of the Xuan Nu Sect, from top to bottom, fell upon the silver-white, sheathed Short Sword in Wu Wang's hand.

The Sect Master's token.

Ji Mo and Lin Qi exchanged looks, truly unaware of what Wu Wang and the renowned Sect Master of the Xuan Nu Sect had discussed. But such attention seemed to exceed mere 'appreciation for an outstanding descendant of the Human race,' didn't it? It was, frankly, outrageous.

Wu Wang was not one for ceremony. He stored the Short Sword into his Storage magic treasure, placing it in the most secure corner for safekeeping, and conveyed a message to the experts of the Xuan Nu Sect:

"Please have two Supreme Elders accompany me, alongside eight or nine other experts at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. There is no need for too many; those with rich experience in Dueling are preferred.

I will command the next operation."

The old woman who had been weeping earlier spoke softly, "This old one understands that Sect Master Wuwang is concerned about the previous incident, but commanding and coordinating is a major undertaking, so perhaps..."

"Elder Jin!"

An old woman whispered, "Did you not hear the Sect Master's command?"

"The Sect Master said to follow Sect Master Wuwang's orders, and so we shall comply tonight."

"Elder Jin, you are somewhat overstepping."

In the Xuan Nu Sect, most still keenly understood the greater good.

"Please, let's not quarrel," Wu Wang said, smiling. "Elder Jin, if I fail in my command, I will personally step forward to admit my fault and accept punishment. I won't cry a few times and think I am absolved of responsibility."

Elder Jin frowned and pursed her lips, her complexion turning a bit pale.

Wu Wang, however, did not spare her another glance. He turned to Ji Mo and Lin Qi and conveyed a message into the room:

"I want the experts to gather here within a quarter of an hour. Bring your most inconspicuous flying magic treasures, and carry some powerful or capturing immortal treasures.

Tonight, I will help you reclaim the prestige the Xuan Nu Sect has lost."

「So, half an hour later.」

「...」

A Lotus Platform with a diameter of a hundred feet flew swiftly at high altitudes, quickly leaving the famous mountains and great rivers below far behind, speeding toward the South Sea.

This Lotus Platform did not stir up even the slightest ripple of Spiritual Energy, nor did it leave any trace in the world; it was as if flying outside the bounds of Heaven and Earth, in the 'beyond.'

On the Lotus Platform, two Supreme Elders of the Xuan Nu Sect placed their hands at its center, enveloping the magic treasure with their Dao rhyme, their expressions solemn.

In the center of the Lotus Platform, twenty or thirty elderly men and women sat quietly in meditation. They formed a circle, surrounding Wu Wang, Ji Mo, Ling Xiaolan, Lin Qi, and a somewhat plump Daoist dressed in an earthy-yellow long robe – Liu Baiyi, the Pavilion Master of the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion.

Among these experts, nine were from the Xuan Nu Sect, and two were household generals from the Lin Family, with the rest belonging to the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion.

Old Lady Meng, who had previously taken action in Floating Jade City, was seated behind the Pavilion Master.

A certain branch Pavilion Master who had delivered the message was also here, his silver hair fluttering in the wind. He sat nervously in the most secluded corner of the Lotus Platform, fearing others might find him.

The more Mao Aowu sensed the aura of these experts, the more he felt—I should be at the bottom of the Lotus Platform, I don't deserve to be here.

At that moment, Liu Baiyi expanded a Barrier around himself, enveloping the four young individuals, ensuring that their conversation would not be overheard by anyone else.

This was the advantage of a high cultivation level. Unlike Wu Wang and Ji Mo, who, if they wanted to have a private conversation in public, could only rely on passing notes.

At this moment, the Pavilion Master glared at Wu Wang, scolding,

"Transcendent experts are the pillars of the Human Domain, not to be ordered about by you as you please!

Always calling upon Transcendent experts for every little thing not only exposes our Human Domain's strength and trump cards, allowing the Heaven Palace to gauge the number of our experts, but also risks exhausting the Transcendent experts with overwork!

Going after the Ten Evils Hall is one thing, but last time, making Old Lady Meng deal with those True Immortals and Immortals—I can't believe you came up with such a plan!"

Wu Wang's eyes were filled with innocence as he blinked gently and asked in a soft voice,

"Pavilion Master Liu, could it be that the Human Domain has always believed that the number of Transcendent experts in the Human Domain can be hidden from the Heaven Palace?"

"Ah, well, everyone just hides and doesn't come out," Liu Baiyi said.

"I have a small question," Wu Wang smiled. "Who initiates the Heavenly Tribulation for becoming an Immortal or achieving Transcendent status?"

Liu Baiyi said with a strong voice, "The Heaven Palace, of course."

"Then, can the Heaven Palace know whether one successfully crosses the tribulation to become an Immortal or a Transcendent expert?"

"Naturally, they can," said Liu Baiyi, "but they don't know the Lifespan of Transcendent beings, or whether they die of old age."

Wu Wang smiled with narrowed eyes. "I think the Divine Spirit, the Head Manager, who is in charge of the lifespans of living beings, should be able to sense the passing of powerful beings."

Liu Baiyi stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before saying,

"Your point makes sense. The Gods in the Heaven Palace are very cunning. But regardless, as the most important combat force of the Human Domain, Transcendent experts should not be mobilized at will.

Let it be this time. But in the future, unless it is an attack on the main hall of the Ten Evils Hall, don't call together so many Transcendent experts.

This display of force makes it look as if we're about to slay that Evil God."

Wu Wang took out a Crystal Ball from his sleeve and gestured for Liu Baiyi to place his palm on it, speaking softly,

"Praise the Star God. Mother, please show me the location of that guy, the one I previously asked you to track."

The necklace on Wu Wang's chest flickered with light.

Both Liu Baiyi and Wu Wang simultaneously saw a vision in their minds:

[In a peaceful fishing village on the coast of the South Sea, over a hundred fishing families had already retired for the night. Fishing nets hung on wooden poles, fluttering gently. The moon shone beautifully over the distant sea, the water sparkling under its glow.

A dark shadow descended eerily from the sky, transforming into an indistinct human figure, and slipped into a wooden hut.]

Wu Wang said, "He has been in there for half an hour now; he must have gone underground."

Liu Baiyi muttered, "What if there's a teleportation Formation here?"

Wu Wang replied, "Then he must have teleported to a place without a starry sky."

"Truly worthy of the Star God, but..." Liu Baiyi looked at Wu Wang. "This Sun Ritual of your mother, how is it different from the Sun Rituals we know?"

Wu Wang: …

"Let's organize the battle plan next." Wu Wang took out a piece of white paper and spread it out, beginning to write and draw under the watchful eyes of Ji Mo, Ling Xiaolan, and Lin Qi.

Soon, a simple topographic map lay before Wu Wang. He asked, "Pavilion Master, what do you think we should do next?"

"What else can we do?" Liu Baiyi laughed. "Naturally, we go to that wooden hut to investigate and find the path leading to the Earth Palace, if there is such a palace here."

Wu Wang couldn't help but shake his head. "Lin Qi, what do you think?"

Lin Qi replied, "Pavilion Master is correct. As long as we are discreet enough, we just need to sneak in."

"Brother Ji?"

"I'm not really adept at military strategy," Ji Mo chuckled. "If negotiations are needed on the front lines between two armies, I could go and join the fun."

"Fairy Ling?"

CLANG!

Fairy Ling's eyes blazed with fury as she floated three inches off the ground, teeth gritted. She cursed,

"Once I get down there, I'll kill them all!"

Hatred had already veiled her beautiful almond-shaped eyes.

Wu Wang said, "Pavilion Master, I'll present the plan, and you can choose the participants."

Liu Baiyi glared. "It's just a sneak attack on a stronghold. You still want to make it fancy? Speak up. If what you say makes sense, I will listen to your opinions more often from now on."

"Consultation comes at a cost." Wu Wang's mouth twitched as he spoke softly,

"With so many experts here, we must leverage everyone's strength.

First, assuming the enemy has no more than two Transcendent Realm masters, we need three Transcendent masters to launch a frontal assault, one to control the overall situation, and another responsible for addressing any omissions.

Such a concealed hiding place is bound to have a back door.

The first thing we need to do is to quietly determine the scope of the underground structure and then seal off this section of Heaven and Earth. The wider the range, the better.

After that, we do this."

Wu Wang's sword-finger released Sword Qi, slicing two lines on the white paper before him as if cutting a rice cake, neatly excising a corner of the paper.

"We use the technique of 'moving mountains and filling seas' to lift this entire section of land, bringing the Earth Palace into the air. The quicker the action, the better, giving the enemy no chance to react... Don't tell me Transcendent experts can't do it."

"It certainly isn't difficult," Liu Baiyi affirmed.

"That's good. Next is an assault from all sides!"

Wu Wang declared,

"Logically, the main defense of an Earth Palace is concentrated at its front, which is directly above. Our 'cake-slicing' strategy will bypass their primary defenses.

First, arrange for two experts to rescue the mortals on the surface layer of the 'cake.' The rest should spare no effort and shatter this piece of land. We can use the debris to fill it back in later.

Whether we catch a big fish or a small one tonight will depend on the scale of the underground structure that emerges the instant it is unearthed.

Have all the Seniors use their capturing magic treasures! Whatever methods they have, they should use them!"

"Excellent!" Pavilion Master Liu Baiyi slapped his thigh. "Let's do it this way!"

With those words, he dispelled the surrounding Barrier and said to Wu Wang, "Sect Master Wuwang, repeat your plan to everyone! HA HA HA! The Benevolent Emperor Pavilion has surely stumbled upon a treasure this time!"

Wu Wang: …

What treasure? I'm a man who aims to become the son-in-law of the Human Emperor!

「...」

「Half an hour ago, on the shores of the South Sea, in a small fishing village.」

The 'Wancai' Daoist scrutinized the area within tens of thousands of miles, ensuring that he had long thrown off any pursuers, before finally zigzagging back to this place. He arrived at a familiar house in the fishing village and entered a downward secret passage known only to a few.

This fishing village is our best cover, like the grass beside a rabbit's den.

After sliding down about a thousand feet, a layer of Formation lay embedded within the earth's stony layer. The 'Wancai' Daoist slowed down and squeezed through an opening he made in the Formation.

The 'Wancai' Daoist passed five such Formations in succession.

The outer three great Formations were for concealment, while the next two possessed incredibly strong defensive power. Even if Transcendent masters of the Human Domain attacked head-on, they would need to exert some effort.

And that effort would be enough time for them to escape through the subterranean Earth Veins.

A perfect hiding place.

The 'Wancai' Daoist cackled softly, flew through a thousand-foot obliquely descending passage, and the underground space suddenly opened up before him.

It was as if half of a three-thousand-foot-diameter sphere had been embedded into the earth's rock stratum. The arched dome above had an illusory Formation mimicking the sky, sun, and moon. The open space below was packed with wooden buildings and stone houses, with a large hall at the center.

Indeed, this was one of the three major strongholds of the Ten Evils Hall, the Second Main Hall, which he controlled.

The 'Wancai' Daoist held his hands behind his back, his figure enveloped in black qi, as he floated over the wooden buildings and flew into the grand hall.

The interior of the hall was somewhat complex, divided into upper, middle, and lower levels, with a Blood Pool in the center emitting white smoke.

The Blood Pool was approximately ten feet square, with seven or eight young men and women soaking in it.

They were, of course, soaking fully clothed.

The 'Wancai' Daoist nodded in satisfaction, ripped a mask from his face, and reverted to his original, aged visage.

With his hands behind his back, he walked towards a stone staircase, while everyone in the hall either bowed their heads or prostrated themselves.

A voluptuous woman came forward to greet him, cooing, "Second Elder, you're back~ I've missed you so terribly."

"I don't have time for you tonight. Go rest on your own."

"Oh my~" The woman pouted coquettishly a few times and then hurried back to her bedroom on the third floor of the grand hall.

The Second Elder smiled smugly. He first went to the study and carefully read through the communication Jade Talismans gathered from various places, finding no good news.

Thank goodness our businesses in other places haven't been affected; otherwise, our situation would become difficult.

After lingering in the study for more than half an hour, the Second Elder summoned a mirror. His wrinkled, aged complexion gradually smoothed out, reverting to a rather handsome young face, which then continued to change.

Women, old crones, even children—one face after another transformed without any sense of incongruity.

Before long, the various disguises slowly faded, revealing a lizard-like countenance with green Scales on its face, its elongated eyes filled with coldness.

This seems to be its original form.

The message has been delivered to the Human Domain. Now it's up to those 'younger brothers and sisters' to see if they're fated to survive.

The Second Elder narrowed his eyes and chuckled lightly. He got up and moved to a bookshelf, pushing it aside to reveal a secret chamber enveloped in a Formation.

The Second Elder's figure merged into the layer of the Formation, which radiated a bloody light.

Inside the secret chamber was also a Blood Pool, where two young girls were respectfully sprinkling Spirit Grass into it.

Upon seeing the Second Elder, they quickly knelt to salute him and then hurriedly left through another doorway, exiting the Formation.

The Second Elder let out a cold laugh, walked over to the Blood Pool, and waved his hand slightly. A middle-aged Daoist bound in chains surfaced, opening his eyes, which were devoid of any Divine Light.

The face of this Daoist was exactly the one the Second Elder had used when infiltrating the Xuan Nu Sect:

The true Wancai Daoist.

"Big Brother, how do you like it here? After forty-nine more years, our father's bloodline within you will be stripped away. Isn't this your wish? Why aren't you smiling?"

A trace of melancholy arose in the Wancai Daoist's eyes as he spoke weakly, "You went to the Xuan Nu Sect?"

"Things went even smoother than I thought." The Second Elder sneered.

"That Wu Wangzi saw through me, saving me the effort of causing trouble. They even personally escorted me out of the Xuan Nu Sect's great Formation, truly saving me a lot of energy.

Big Brother, you also don't want those younger brothers and sisters to come over, right?

The Human Domain will take care of it for us."

The Wancai Daoist closed his eyes and murmured, "Evil God... Human Domain... You should stand on at least one side. Right now, are you an evil demon or a fierce ghost?"

"I haven't betrayed Father," the Second Elder replied coldly. "It's the fathers who want to abandon us. I'm just trying to hold onto Father, that's all."

The Wancai Daoist said indifferently, "How do you know that your rash actions this time haven't left any flaws?"

"A flaw?" The Second Elder's eyes were filled with chilling ice as he hovered above the Blood Pool, staring intently at the Wancai Daoist's face.

"All eyes in the Human Domain are on the north right now. I merely exposed your identity. What flaw could there possibly be?

From now on, you can only depend on me.

Rest assured, considering you are my own big brother, I won't take your life. I will render you a cripple and place you beside the Blood Pool, making you watch as I, one by one, put Human race children into it to undergo the baptism of this bloodline from your body.

This is the greatest use of the Human race, isn't it?

HA HA HA, HA HA HA HA HA!"

BOOM!

The Second Elder's laughter came to an abrupt halt as he caught sight of two incomparably resplendent rays of sword light erupting from beneath the ground. The earth suddenly trembled, and the entire hall shook violently!

A great force suddenly surged from beneath his feet. The Second Elder's eyes flew open as he sensed the great Formations around him and suddenly discovered—

The hall—no, the entire stretch of land—had soared into the air!

This piece of land was immediately enveloped by layers of immense Immortal Power, with the crushing presences of seven or eight Transcendent masters pressing in from all directions!

What's going on? Why didn't the Formations above give any warning?!

The Second Elder's form shot up into the sky, breaking through the palace roof and hovering in this 'semi-circle' as he turned his head to look around.

Suddenly, beams of Immortal Light shone from various points on the semi-circular dome above!

The Second Elder realized that this piece of land, entrapped in layers of Immortal Power, had actually flown into the sky!

The Earth Vein Transfer Formation... the Earth Veins... With this landmass soaring, the Earth Veins have been severed! The escape route is gone!

「At the same time!」

Near the landmass rising like a 'slice of cake,' nearly thirty figures materialized out of thin air, staring at the 'bubble' trapped within the layers of earth.

"It's appeared!"

"Over a thousand living beings! The power of the evil demon is extremely dense! Their defensive Formations are indeed concentrated above; the surroundings are very weak!"

"HA HA HA! They really are here! To think an Earth Palace can be assaulted like this—truly an eye-opener!"

High above, on the unseen Lotus Platform, Liu Baiyi looked up and laughed heartily, pressing his left hand downward.

"Seal Heaven and Earth! Cast the Net of Heaven and Earth! Don't let a single one escape!"

All thirty-odd figures acted simultaneously, casting out large nets, unleashing various Immortal Treasures. One expert even swept his sword horizontally, cleaving the 'slice of cake' into upper and lower halves.

The battle of annihilation erupted in an instant!

Liu Baiyi watched this scene with a smile, then turned his head to look at Wu Wang and the other three young people behind him. He spoke in a gentle voice,

"You young ones must remember: the most important thing for our Human race is to proliferate and ensure the continuity of our kind.

But the most important thing for the Human Domain is to pass on the torch, to keep alive this light that belongs to the Human race.

Therefore, you youngsters must grow up steadily. When our generation grows old and passes on, you must stand in our place and hold up the sky above the Human Domain.

Tonight, I shall take action!"

With these words, he leaped up and vanished into the night.

The magnificent qi that had once repelled the Evil God swept through Heaven and Earth!
