Only after they returned to the family did they learn about the various major events that had occurred, filling them all with anger, wishing they could slap the clan members standing before them to death.

These good-for-nothings!

Before leaving, they were instructed to guard the family and not cause trouble.

Yet they still stirred up trouble, even allowing Meng Fang to slaughter his way into the ancestral mansion, killing dozens of elders.

The foundation of the Kong Family was nearly shaken!

"Patriarch, we couldn't have anticipated this situation either..."

Kong Daorong's face was sour as he tried to explain again.

"Enough!"

Kong Futian's tone was cold and terrifyingly fierce. With a wave of his hand, he silenced Kong Daorong, saying, "What's past is past, don't bring it up again. From here on out, I won't permit any more accidents. The millennium-old foundation of the Kong Family has weathered countless wars, and the ancestral mansion has never been breached before. Meng Fang is the first to slaughter his way into our Kong Family ancestral mansion!"

Everyone present gritted their teeth and hung their heads, hatred surging within their hearts.

"However, since the Yiyuan Alliance has treated us this way, we won't take it lying down. I've decided to use the full power of our family to annihilate Meng Fang and eradicate the Yiyuan Alliance."

He spoke coldly.

The crowd was shocked.

Annihilate the Yiyuan Alliance?

Annihilate Meng Fang?

Just by themselves?

"Patriarch, have the other Four Great Alliance Leaders agreed?"

Kong Daorong reacted, speaking in shock.

This must have been communicated with the other Four Great Alliances, otherwise, there's no way they could go up against the Yiyuan Alliance alone.

The Yiyuan Alliance is immensely powerful, deeply rooted, and every noble family under its domain is not weak. Among the Five Great Alliances, it has always been the strongest.

Only at the Kong Family's peak could they rival them.

Moreover, there's that freak Meng Fang to deal with!

"Yes."

Kong Futian spoke coldly, "In this world, nothing is impossible when it comes to profit. During our foray into the ancient ruins, the Alliance Leader of Yiyuan acquired an Ancient Supreme Treasure of unparalleled power. He must not be allowed to comprehend this treasure. Once he succeeds, his strength will elevate to unimaginable levels, leaving no safe haven for others in the world. Hence, the other Four Great Alliances have reached an agreement to join forces briefly while the Alliance Leader of Yiyuan has yet to comprehend the treasure, to thoroughly eradicate him!"

"Ancient Supreme Treasure?"

"I see."

The Kong Family members' eyes flickered with anticipation.

If the leaders of the Four Great Alliances truly join forces, there's no reason they can't eradicate the Yiyuan Alliance.

No matter how strong the Yiyuan Alliance is, it can't be stronger than the combined strength of the four great families.

"Wonderful, once Meng Fang is eradicated, no one will be able to threaten Heaven and Earth and Xuan'Er in the future, and their emergence will be unstoppable!"

Someone spoke excitedly.

"Not necessarily, don't forget, there's another Innate Vajra to consider, and this one is about to rise too. In my opinion, why not take this chance to eradicate him as well!"

Someone suggested.

"Feasible, kill them together, extract their essence, and let Heaven and Earth and Xuan'Er absorb it, surely propelling them even further!"

"Exactly!"

"This strategy isn't bad!"

Others chimed in, each one excited.

"What about Jiang Shi?"

Kong Futian's tone was indifferent, "Don't worry about him for now, there'll be opportunities to deal with him. Wait until the Yiyuan Alliance is eradicated, then it's not too late to kill him. Moreover, Heaven and Earth and Xuan'Er need a stepping stone. If we eliminate all stepping stones, it might actually be detrimental for them in the future."

"Yes, Patriarch!"

Everyone responded.

···

Overnight passed.

The morning sun rose.

Jiang Shi stood in a pool of clear water, carefully washing away the grime from his body. His form was long, strong, and full of power, vastly different from before.

Under the sunrise, his flesh seemed to emit a subtle brilliance.

Like bronze cast.

This was the sign of a physically achieved state; even without exerting a hint of power, the physique was akin to divine iron.

He wrung out the clothes in his hands and donned them again, then climbed onto the back of the Great Demon Horse and began galloping swiftly towards the distance.

Two days later.

Finally!

Jiang Shi once again returned to the Black Lotus Holy Sect.

"It seems you've gained quite a bit from this trip. This is a successful Blood Exchange?"

Old Sect Leader Chen Xuantian sat at the head seat, his voice calm, and he spoke with a smile.

"Indeed, thank you for this opportunity given by the Sect Leader,"

Jiang Shi cupped his hands.

"Opportunities are given by others, but the effort is one's own. Blood Exchange Ninth Heaven is a step-by-step ascent to the heavens, many are stuck at the Second Realm or Third Realm, unable to progress. Your success in Blood Exchange is inseparable from your talent."

Chen Xuantian spoke, "Coincidentally, you've returned just in time, I must tell you about a major matter, the Four Symbols Alliance Leader has returned."

"The Four Symbols Alliance Leader has returned?"

Jiang Shi's eyes flashed.

"Yes, not only him, but the other four leaders have also returned."

Chen Xuantian said, "However, currently the Four Symbols, Two Elements, Three Talents, Five Elements, the Four Great Alliances plan to formally join forces against the Yiyuan Alliance, regroup at Dongjue Ridge in two days, and wage a decisive battle against the Yiyuan Alliance!"

Jiang Shi was taken aback.

"The Four Great Alliances joining forces against the Yiyuan Alliance?"

"It's said that the Alliance Leader of the Yiyuan Alliance acquired a rare treasure, which, once fully understood, possesses the power to dominate the world. The other four Alliance Leaders don't want to see this happen, so they've decided to join forces, determined to eradicate him. Also, Meng Fang's rapid growth has put pressure on the four Alliance Leaders, who may not be able to contain him in a few years. So, due to multiple reasons, the Four Great Alliances have resolved to join forces."

Chen Xuantian spoke.

Jiang Shi inhaled deeply, his heart rapidly surging.

Chaos.

The Great Profound World is truly thrown into chaos.

The Northern part still has Northern Zhou lurking.

Now the four internal alliances plan to join forces to eradicate the Yiyuan Alliance.

The Great Profound World is likely to splinter.

"If Meng Fang truly gets eliminated this time, it won't be long before it's your turn because you're the only one who can replace Meng Fang. Many noble families want to use you as a whetstone to hone their family disciples. And once they find you've exceeded their control, they'll look to eliminate you."

Chen Xuantian spoke.

"Using me as a whetstone?"

Jiang Shi's face turned cold, "Courting death!"

"But don't rush, in the coming days I'll first gauge the Four Symbols Alliance Leader's attitude. If there's no problem, I'll bring you to meet the Four Symbols Alliance Leader, greatly ensuring your future safety."

Chen Xuantian said.

"Good, thank you Sect Leader."

Jiang Shi cupped his hands again, thinking for a moment, he decided to share the encounter with the Northern Zhou powerhouse along the way.

"Northern Zhou?"

Chen Xuantian furrowed his brows, saying: "It seems their desire to extinguish us remains undying?"
