In Taihang Commandery, Tai Cang Mountain, a torrential downpour poured relentlessly.

The somber mist transformed into thick smoke, gathering between the mountains and woods, drifting unpredictably with the wind.

Birds were silent, and the empty mountains echoed in stillness.

Xu Chunlin sat in the Xu Family Assembly Hall. At this moment, the patriarch Xu Wenjin and some elders had also gathered here, and they all appeared somewhat panicked.

"Third Uncle, it's been investigated thoroughly. They're searching for a secret treasure of the Eight Desolates Sect!" Xu Wenjin exclaimed repeatedly.

"Third Uncle, we just need to swear the Heavenly Dao Oath, and then have all the high-tier Foundation Establishment elders undergo the Spirit Inquiry Talisman. We will definitely be able to seek a glimmer of hope!"

Xu Wenjin continued with a hardened resolve.

Thinking that not only did they fail to track the person, but due to migrating mortals, their mini world got discovered, and now the exit had been controlled by the Kong Family, who plan to hand it over to the Taiyi Sect!

In the Taiyi Sect of the Yan Kingdom, they don't manage the affiliated clans much; however, middle-grade and above spirit stone ores, mini worlds, and high-tier spiritual ores must be jointly managed by the sect.

This mini world was even designated as the Beast Desolate Mini World, making Xu Family's inspection a grave offense.

But in Xu Wenjin's view, as long as they all confessed honestly, the Taiyi Sect was unlikely to exterminate them.

"Fool!" Xu Chunlin roared in anger, wishing he could slap Xu Wenjin dead.

But thinking about how the Xu Family now had only three in the Foundation Establishment, with himself being the only one in the Purple Mansion, his impulse was suppressed.

He also resented Xu Hanqing; clearly, he was possessed for rebuilding cultivation but still could lead several juniors to total annihilation, destroying more than half of their Foundation Establishment power.

If not for this, anyone from the Foundation Establishment in the Xu Family could be a better patriarch than the current Xu Wenjin.

"Do you think the Jin Family and Kong Family are truly searching for a secret treasure?"

"They are merely annexing us to strengthen their power. As for whether any among them are searching for a secret treasure from other forces, they don't care. Whether found or not, they disregard it!"

"They just need an excuse!"

"What they want is also the region of Xu Family, to strengthen their power and find a refuge." Xu Chunlin was extremely furious.

If they were truly searching for a secret treasure, there was no need to wipe out the Chu Family and the Xu Family.

Such treasures cannot even be hidden in ordinary Storage Bags.

They must be in Grotto Heaven or Mini Worlds, and all they need to do is search all Grotto Heaven and Mini Worlds.

It's obvious they're worried about the Zhong Family being eliminated, and after the Zhang Family had been interrogated for a long time, with two families feeling uneasy, they sought a refuge in Taihang Commandery.

Even if something happens to the Jin Family and Kong Family in Taichang Commandery, it wouldn't affect the Jin Family and Kong Family in Taihang Commandery.

If managed well, they might even advance a few levels in the hierarchy of Golden Core Clans.

After all, even among Golden Core Clans, there are strong and weak ones.

The two families are undoubtedly the weakest of the Golden Core Clans now.

Xu Chunlin's words instantly shattered Xu Wenjin's illusion into reality, acknowledging that the Xu Family had indeed reached a point of life and death crisis.

"The reason why the Jin Family and Kong Family compressed our share in the Market was also to gain more influence and thereby find enough evidence to destroy us."

"Then Uncle Chunlin, can we evacuate from Clan Mountain?" Xu Wenjin's eyes were somewhat listless. Now that the Beast Desolate Mini World had fallen into the hands of the Kong Family, they had lost their last chance.

But soon, a thought emerged in his mind, and grasping it as if it were the last lifeline, his eyes glowed with hope.

"Fool, if we escape, it would be a guilty flight!" At this moment, even Xu Chunlin couldn't hold back any longer, releasing his entire Purple Mansion aura towards Xu Wenjin.

It forced the latter to groan, with blood seemingly oozing from the corner of his mouth.

The suppression of an Early Stage of Purple Mansion against an Early Stage of Foundation Establishment was too overpowering.

Seeing this, Xu Wenjin no longer dared to speak.

"Third Brother, I contacted Qianhe Ascendant. As long as we report about the mini world in advance, there's still a slim chance!" Xu Wenyong spoke from the side.

"We can only hold out at Clan Mountain!" All Xu Family members sighed involuntarily.

Fortunately, they had already sent away some young family members.

Before the opponents had the evidence, they wouldn't trouble those young family members.

Moreover, although these family members generally had low cultivation, they were exceptionally smart. As long as one of them can break through to the Purple Mansion later, there is a chance for Xu Family's restoration.

"They're here, form the array!" Xu Chunlin suddenly shouted.

With this shout, everyone instantly became vigilant.

They must hold on until Qianhe Ascendant brings the Taiyi Sect's punitive directive.

In Xu Chunlin's Divine Sense, he already saw numerous Spirit Searching Ships converging from afar.

And among the surrounding mountains and valleys, arrays began to appear.

Obviously, the Kong Family had prepared long before.

On the Spiritual Ship, it was indeed Kong Yulong from the Kong Family's Purple Mansion.

"Xu Family secretly hid the Beast Desolate Mini World, indeed the remnants of the Eight Desolates Sect. Today, the Qing Liu Kong Family will apprehend the Xu Family!"

Kong Yulong's voice, as if the voice of heavenly punishment, rolled towards Tai Cang Mountain.

...

Xianyun Mountain, Chu Family. The cultivators of the Chu Family were also resignedly accepting their fate, with Chu Tianfen gazing at Chu Xiyu and others.

At this moment, they were also situated in a courtyard on the mountain peak.

Different from the Xu Family, who merely concealed their actions, they were already associated with treason against the Qinghe Sect.

The decline of the Yuhe Zhong Family had already forewarned them.

Chu Xiyu's imprisonment was merely the Taiyi Sect's evidence-gathering.

When the Jin Family came to confront them, it also allowed them some time to retain part of their strength.

However, when they chose to sell magical artifacts and embezzle the sect's spiritual artifact for spirit stones, they planted the seeds of disaster, even though Chu Xiyu placed the Clan Jade Book Forbidden Array in his mind later, making it impervious to a Soul Search.
