Chapter 463: Conspiracy, Storm Brewing

Chapter 463: Conspiracy, Storm Brewing

"Ah... this..."

Black Sword's words left Qi Yuan completely bewildered.

He turned to Black Sword and said softly, "With my temperament, how could I lay eggs?"

Zi Yuan Maple glanced at Qi Yuan, his refined demeanor making it hard to believe he could have modified the Ancestral Blood Art to allow for egg-laying.

"You didn't cultivate the Ancestral Blood Art that you gave to Ice Sword?" Black Sword asked, his voice filled with surprise.

"No," Qi Yuan shook his head. "Cultivation methods should be tailored to the individual. The Ancestral Blood Art that Ice Sword cultivates is most suitable for him, but not for me."

"So, you're cultivating another Ancestral Blood Art?" Black Sword asked again, his estimation of Blood Robe's abilities rising.

It seemed that Blood Robe's creation of the Ancestral Blood Art wasn't just a flash of inspiration.

He had another Ancestral Blood Art on him.

"Mhm," Qi Yuan nodded, then turned to Black Sword, "The Ancestral Blood Art I cultivate is a bit unconventional. It's only suitable for me and not for others."

Qi Yuan was telling the truth.

The Ancestral Blood Art he had modified for himself was only cultivable by him.

Black Sword's expression turned serious, and he didn't say anything further.

Just then, a communication talisman suddenly appeared in Black Sword's ear, and his eyes flashed with light.

"Let's go!"

...

Black Sword and Zi Yuan Maple hurried away, seemingly responding to an important event.

Qi Yuan returned to his cavern, examining his recent gains.

"Not bad, the Human Emperor Banner has advanced further, and I've acquired several hundred more divine techniques."

After some thought, Qi Yuan gave these divine techniques to Ningtuo and Golden Canary.

He pondered, then entered the Principle Gate once more.

The scene abruptly shifted.

Countless brilliant and dazzling energies, like a starry river, washed over the area.

These energies were all of the Supreme Principle.

The Primordial Divine Spirits, who were originally observing the Grand Supreme Enlightenment in the Principle Gate, stood up and paid their respects.

"Paying respects to the master!"

These Primordial Divine Spirits were all Qi Yuan's divine embryos.

Qi Yuan rarely had time to personally observe the Grand Supreme Enlightenment in the Principle Gate.

So, he placed his divine embryos inside to observe, saving time.

Among them, some divine embryos were specifically tasked with observing the Grand Radiant Palace's Grand Supreme Enlightenment, while others observed Guiyuetian.

"How's it going?" Qi Yuan asked.

Elder Lao Deng of the Thunder Elder, shrugged and smiled, "You probably wouldn't have guessed that the Banner Master of Guiyuetian has cultivated a Supreme Principle that's actually related to thunder techniques."

The refinement of the Ten Thousand Ghost Souls Banner was of the Supreme Principle of the Extreme Yin and Extreme Demon, completely different from the Supreme Principle of the Extreme Purity and Extreme Thunder.

"Could it be Yin Thunder?" Qi Yuan asked.

"It's the Grand Pivot of the Grand Thunder, an earth-shattering thunder technique. It can imprison heaven and earth, spirits, and flesh, and its might is terrifying," Elder Lao Deng explained, his eyes gleaming.

"Imprison?" Qi Yuan pondered, "It's a good thing I didn't go on an assault. With the power of the Grand Supreme Enlightenment, if he used such a technique, I might not even be able to enter the Purple Mansion."

Qi Yuan's mind could connect him to the Purple Mansion at any time.

But the Grand Supreme Enlightenments of the world all had various formidable abilities.

This made Qi Yuan think of exploiting bugs, even including staring to get someone pregnant.

For example, the master of the White Dragon Abyss could, with his Grand Supreme Enlightenment, look at someone and cause them to give birth to a life form containing his bloodline.

This made Qi Yuan shiver.

No wonder the White Dragon Abyss wanted to invite the "Demon Eye Sovereign" to join and even made him the master. They wanted him to get pregnant.

If Qi Yuan had the Grand Supreme Enlightenment, he could avoid these deadly Supreme Principle techniques.

But his Absolute Adaptation and his ability to do as he pleased were still in their infancy.

"All the thunders in the world are under your command. Could you... stop the deadly technique of the Banner Master's Supreme Principle?" Qi Yuan asked Elder Lao Deng seriously.

"You're giving me too much credit. Even if I control all thunders, I'm only at the Celestial State of the Blazing Sun Deity!" Elder Lao Deng's beard twitched and shook.

Qi Yuan gave Elder Lao Deng a look, "Elder Lao Deng, you can't do it."

Elder Lao Deng's face turned red, "Who can't do it? You put the Principle Gate in the starry realm, give me half a month, and I'll stop the Banner Master's Supreme Principle for two months."

The starry realm Elder Lao Deng spoke of was actually Qi Yuan's stellar realm, the place where his stellar realm was located.

Every day Qi Yuan spent in his region, a hundred years passed in the stellar realm.

This time flow was terrifying.

It made Qi Yuan think more about exploiting bugs.

He placed the inside of the Principle Gate in that stellar realm, letting his divine embryos analyze the Supreme Principle there.

With this, in a few million days, he could almost completely understand the Sixth Heaven's Supreme Principle.

But exploiting bugs wasn't that easy.

Placing the other side of the Principle Gate in the stellar realm was no problem.

But placing it, including everything, in another stellar realm was a big deal.

Every moment was a huge burden on Qi Yuan.

All his divine embryos were occupied.

His cultivation and strength were also taken up.

His strength dropped to the Mythical State.

If he met a Blazing Sun Deity, he'd easily be defeated.

Only by bringing the Principle Gate back would this disappear.

"Half a month? Hmm," Qi Yuan pondered.

This had some risk, but it was actually fine.

As long as Qi Yuan survived, nothing would happen.

"Half a month, then half a month, let's go!"

As the saying goes, no risk, no gain.

"Wait for me to set it up, then we'll start." Qi Yuan said.

"Okay, notify me at any time," Elder Lao Deng's figure disappeared, vanishing from sight.

Just then, another divine embryo appeared and reported its results to Qi Yuan.

"So that's the old man's Grand Supreme Enlightenment..."

Qi Yuan pondered, then from the Principle Gate, he needed to prepare, preferably without leaving his door.

During this time, he'd be at his weakest.

After thinking, Qi Yuan continuously set up formations, feeling unsafe, and designed various methods.

After a busy ten days, Qi Yuan slapped his forehead.

"Am I being too cautious? These ten days of setting up formations, and nothing happened."

Qi Yuan regretted, "If I knew, I'd just rewind to when I returned and directly have Elder Lao Deng go and understand."

After some time, Elder Lao Deng had also completed his comprehension.

With everything arranged, Qi Yuan began to transfer the Principle Gate to another universe.

About an hour later, the aura on Qi Yuan's body plummeted.

"I'm too weak. I'll try not to go out for a while. If I encounter a dog, it'll probably be a life-and-death battle!" Qi Yuan thought to himself.

Just then, a loud and carefree voice echoed.

"Blood Cloak, open the door!"

Recognizing the familiar voice, Qi Yuan knew it was Niu Jiao Sister who had arrived.

"What's the matter?" Qi Yuan halted his array setup and looked outside.

"You're not dead?" Niu Jiao Sister entered the cavern and casually sat on the ground, her words startling.

"I'm doing better than you," Qi Yuan replied, feeling irritated at the sight of Niu Jiao Sister.

"I thought you had died in Flower Moon Oddland," Niu Jiao Sister said indifferently. "Sigh, it took so long to deal with those Celestial Prodigies. It seems the gap between you and the one from Taohuang Palace is... quite significant."

"It's fine. I'm young," Qi Yuan said seriously.

According to the Lei Bus comparison method, he had actually far surpassed the one from Taohuang Palace.

However, Qi Yuan was modest and didn't mention this.

At this moment, Niu Jiao Sister blinked, "Have you seen that mysterious Palace Commander? Is he handsome?"

Recently, the Yangshen Venerable of Guiyuantian had been slain by a mysterious Palace Commander from the Human Emperor Palace.

This incident had shaken both Guiyuantian and the Black Devil Abyss.

It could be said that among the disciples and Yangshen Venerables of the two great sacred lands, the most discussed topic was this mysterious Palace Commander.

Everyone was extremely curious about the identity of this mysterious Palace Commander.

Unlike Guiyuantian, who hated the mysterious Palace Commander to the point of itching, the Black Devil Abyss revered him as a deity.

After all, the fact that he had slain the Yangshen of their enemy and then gracefully departed after enduring a Great Supreme Enlightenment attack was enough to inspire fantasies in the hearts of young cultivators.

"He's very handsome, just like me," Qi Yuan said without modesty when it came to appearance.

Niu Jiao Sister glanced at Qi Yuan, "I believe you when you say you're as handsome as him, but... his aura, hehe."

Zi Yuan Daxue giggled, exuding a strange vibe.

Although she hadn't seen the mysterious Palace Commander from the Human Emperor Palace, she had heard about him—a man clad in blood armor, like a murderous god emerging from the underworld, exuding a chilling terror.

The Blood Cloak was indeed handsome, but one would kneel before his aura.

Zi Yuan Daxue had once thought that if she froze the Blood Cloak in ice, he would become an unparalleled handsome man.

But as soon as she released him, his aura would disappear, and he would become an ordinary man.

"What do you mean!" Qi Yuan detected the strange vibe in Niu Jiao Sister's words.

"Nothing," Niu Jiao Sister stopped giggling and stretched out her hand to take out a mushroom from her mouth, then ate another one.

After finishing, Niu Jiao Sister spoke, "You have many eggs of the Ice Sword here, right? I was thinking, do you want to collaborate with me and emulate Flower Moon Oddland? We can lure out Guiyuantian's Celestial Prodigy and earn some merit."

Qi Yuan didn't lack merit, but Zi Yuan Daxue did.

Without hesitation, Qi Yuan shook his head, "I won't do it. It's not a gentleman's conduct, and I won't go."

With his current low strength, he had already planned to stay indoors for half a month.

Zi Yuan Daxue looked at Qi Yuan, "Why are you being shameless now? Weren't you a gentleman before?"

"Everything changes. I was too young and naive back then," Qi Yuan said casually.

Hearing this, Zi Yuan Daxue didn't press further. Instead, she leaned closer to Qi Yuan's ear and whispered, "That ice egg... it wasn't you, was it? With the Ice Sword's talent, it couldn't have laid such an egg!"

Qi Yuan became anxious upon hearing this.

"How dare you slander me without evidence!"

He was genuinely anxious.

Although he hadn't laid that egg, he had created it.

"Give me the Ancestral Blood Art to take a look. I'm very curious," Zi Yuan Daxue extended her hand, her face filled with anticipation.

Currently, this modified version of the Ancestral Blood Art was circulating within the Black Devil Abyss, but only among the Yangshen Venerables. Zi Yuan Daxue, however, had not seen it yet.

"What? Do you want to lay an egg too?" Qi Yuan waved his hand casually and handed the communication talisman to Zi Yuan Daxue.

"I have my principles. I won't lay an egg!" Zi Yuan Daxue took the Ancestral Blood Art and began studying it intently.

It must be said that when Zi Yuan Daxue focused on a task, she was quite diligent.

As she studied the modified Ancestral Blood Art, her eyes widened with surprise.

"I suddenly feel like my principles aren't worth much," she said, her eyes gleaming with greed.

The temptation to lay an egg was indeed too great for an immortal.

"Sigh, we might as well rename the Black Devil Abyss to the Black Egg Abyss!"

Zi Yuan Daxue couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, time and space in the heavens and earth froze momentarily.

Zi Yuan Daxue remained in her original posture, not moving an inch.

Qi Yuan knew that the Zi Yuan Ancestor had arrived.

Every time he appeared, he would freeze the flow of time and space around him.

"You're back, good, good," the Zi Yuan Ancestor appeared, his face beaming with a brilliant smile, looking very pleased with himself.

"What's the reason for your happiness?" Qi Yuan asked.

"Nothing," the Zi Yuan Ancestor stroked his beard, feeling extremely pleased with himself.

The reason he hadn't come to see Qi Yuan earlier was that he had been diligently cultivating the modified Ancestral Blood Art.

After all, he had told others that the Blood Cloak had already been offered to him.

If he didn't produce results soon, wouldn't he be ridiculed? During this period, he had worked exceptionally hard, finally achieving success in cultivating and laying an egg, the fruit of divine shedding.

Only then did he come to see Qi Yuan.

"I didn't expect your talent to be this high, allowing you to modify the Ancestral Blood Art.

By offering the Ancestral Blood Art to the Black Devil Abyss through the Ice Sword, the higher-ups there remember your kindness. They're preparing to bestow upon you ten drops... of Black Devil Ancestor's Blood." The Zi Yuan Ancestor smiled and patted a porcelain bottle.

Qi Yuan's eyes lit up at the sight of the Black Devil Ancestor's Blood.

What he needed the most was the Black Devil Ancestor's Blood.

Recently, he had dispatched a divine embryo to search for Black Devil Ancestor's Blood using an intelligent micro-probe, eventually finding enough to cultivate the Ancestral Blood Art to the twelfth layer.

(End of Chap)

However, the cultivation of the Ancestral Blood Art has now stalled.

The reason is the lack of Black Demon Ancestor's Blood.

With these ten drops of Black Demon Ancestor's Blood, he can take a small step forward.

Of course, he is still far from reaching the thirteenth layer.

He will need more Black Demon Ancestor's Blood.

At that time, his cultivation in the Ten Thousand Path God General will be comparable to the Great Supreme Enlightenment.

This is the correct version, as seen in Chapter 169!

At this moment, Ziyuan Zu continues, "However, I've also prepared ten Yang God Gifts for you.

Just right, in the near future, you will be marrying Jin Li, and these ten Yang God Gifts will allow both of you to safely enter the Yangshen Heavenly Venerable realm, and you'll have each other's support in the future."

"Thank you, old man," Qi Yuan says as he receives the Black Demon Ancestor's Blood and the Yang God Gifts, feeling grateful. "The adapted Ancestral Blood Art is so valuable. If I were to adapt another one, could I exchange it for more Black Demon Ancestor's Blood?"

The ten drops of Black Demon Ancestor's Blood do not support Qi Yuan in quickly reaching the thirteenth layer.

He needs more.

Ziyuan Zu shakes his head, "You're thinking too much. Aside from the difficulty of adapting the Ancestral Blood Art, the Black Demon Ancestor's Blood is a consumable. I had to beg for these ten drops, and there's no way to get more!"

Qi Yuan feels a bit disappointed upon hearing this.

"Alas, the Black Demon Ancestor's Blood. After my poor White Moonlight dies, I won't be able to collect its blood!" Qi Yuan sighs.

Ziyuan Zu pays no attention to Qi Yuan's lament.

At this moment, Qi Yuan thinks of something and says softly, "Old man, you've been taking care of me like a grandfather all this time, so I've prepared a gift for you."

"Get lost!" Ziyuan Zu curses, but inside, he feels pleased.

Previously, Qi Yuan's dissatisfaction with not giving him the adapted Ancestral Blood Art right away has now dissipated.

"What gift? If it's too ordinary, I'll just leave it in my storage bag to gather dust," Ziyuan Zu asks.

"It's this..." Qi Yuan takes out a jade talisman and hands it to Ziyuan Zu.

Ziyuan Zu takes the jade talisman and probes it with his spiritual sense.

His expression turns from surprise to astonishment, and finally... he takes a deep breath.

His face shows delight, astonishment, and a hint of bitterness.

"Good, good, good!" Ziyuan Zu exclaims repeatedly, looking at the Blood Cloak. "This is something I've specifically tailored to your physique during this time, right? It's much better than Bing Dan's Ancestral Blood Art?" Qi Yuan says.

Having received so much Black Demon Ancestor's Blood from Ziyuan Zu, Qi Yuan still feels a bit guilty.

Although Ziyuan Zu gave him the Black Demon Ancestor's Blood, it is only right for him to show respect.

But he should also share some good things with the younger generation.

"The Ice Sword version of the Ancestral Blood Art is ordinary. This one is more suitable for you," Qi Yuan says as he glances at Ziyuan Zu. "You old man, didn't you secretly practice the Ice Sword version of the Ancestral Blood Art behind my back?"

Hearing this, Ziyuan Zu's eyes widen, "How could I practice such a low-level Ancestral Blood Art? I am a Great Supreme Enlightenment cultivator, and I have my pride."

As he speaks, he secretly squeezes his own egg.

"That's good," Qi Yuan nods.

"During this time, you should stay here. It's chaotic outside," Ziyuan Zu adds, thinking of something.

"Oh, what's going on?" Qi Yuan asks.

"The Human Emperor Palace has appeared, and their intentions are unclear. No one knows their origin," Ziyuan Zu says with caution.

He even speculates that the Human Emperor Palace might be an ancient existence.

"Anything else?" Qi Yuan doesn't care much about the Human Emperor Palace, as they are all his aliases.

"Recently... Guiyuetian's Beyond Heaven is connected to Flower Moon Oddland, and within it, there's a large amount of Black Demon Ancestor's Blood," Ziyuan Zu says, his expression turning solemn.

Beyond Heaven is an unknown and uncharted land.

It also contains many wondrous lands.

Usually, when Yang Gods challenge each other, they choose to fight in Beyond Heaven.

The Black Devil Abyss also has its own Beyond Heaven, which has been opened up as part of the Sixth Heaven, and can be transformed into a territory for their own forces.

Now, a large amount of Black Demon Ancestor's Blood has been discovered in Guiyuetian's Beyond Heaven, which is a significant event for the Black Devil Abyss.

"What a coincidence. Could there be a conspiracy?" Qi Yuan asks.

The Black Devil Abyss has just started a war with Guiyuetian, and now a large amount of Black Demon Ancestor's Blood has been found in Guiyuetian's Beyond Heaven.

"This is a well-planned scheme," Ziyuan Zu says calmly.

It's clear that the higher-ups of the Black Devil Abyss are also aware that this is Guiyuetian's plot.

They had collected a large amount of Black Demon Ancestor's Blood in advance, and now they are baiting the Black Devil Abyss.

Qi Yuan ponders, "Are you planning to seize it?"

Qi Yuan remembers that before leaving Flower Moon Oddland, Black Sword received a communication talisman, and his expression changed.

Now it seems that this is what it was about.

"The total amount of Black Demon Ancestor's Blood in the world is limited. Every drop used is one less."

Now, Guiyuetian has dispatched two Great Supreme Enlightenment cultivators to guard it, intending to corrupt the Black Demon Ancestor's Blood. If they succeed, then... those nearly ten thousand drops of Black Demon Ancestor's Blood... will go to waste." Ziyuan Zu mentions this, feeling extremely distressed.

Qi Yuan takes a deep breath, "Nearly ten thousand drops of Black Demon Ancestor's Blood... I'm tempted too."

If Qi Yuan were to obtain all that Black Demon Ancestor's Blood, he is confident that within a year, he could advance the Ancestral Blood Art to the fourteenth layer.

"We don't have much time left. If we can't retrieve the Black Demon Ancestor's Blood within a month, it will be completely corrupted," Ziyuan Zu says, his expression turning deep, "This time, I will take action."

As he speaks, he glances at the Blood Cloak.

If it weren't for the Blood Cloak requiring a large amount of Black Demon Ancestor's Blood, he would probably only have a twenty percent chance of getting involved in Guiyuetian's plot.

But now, he voluntarily chooses to join the battle.

Ziyuan Zu looks at Qi Yuan, "If I encounter any mishaps this time and suffer severe injuries, you must immediately go see Ziyuan Tan. He will escort you to the Moon Goddess Palace."

Ziyuan Tan is one of the few Great Supreme Enlightenment Yang Gods in Ziyuan Heaven.

"Is it that serious?" Qi Yuan is surprised.

Ziyuan Zu reassures him, "I'm just being cautious. Rest assured, with my strength, unless a High Sovereign personally takes action, no one can harm me.

Even if the Banner Master himself were to attack, he could only injure me. He can't kill me."

Ziyuan Zu is full of confidence.

The gap between the Great Supreme Enlightenment realms is vast and significant.

The opponent, also being on the third level of the Great Supreme Enlightenment, couldn't even manage to injure him.

Only the Banner Master could personally injure him.

And even then, it wasn't easy for the Banner Master to make a move.

So, this time, when the opponent laid out their plan, he personally entered the game, prepared for the possibility of injury.

If it were before, he might have had some worries.

But now, with the new Ancestral Blood Art from the Blood Cloak, he was brimming with confidence.

Even if he got injured, he could quickly recover with this cultivation technique.

Qi Yuan nodded.

This was a major matter, not something a small fry like him in the Purple Mansion Realm could get involved in.

Perhaps these Great Supreme Enlightenments had already discussed it many times.

"Oh, old man, I know who the informant in the Black Devil Abyss is—it's Feng Shuai Heavenly Lord." Qi Yuan thought for a moment and shared his discovery with Ziyuan Ancestor.

"Feng Shuai?" Ziyuan Ancestor furrowed his brows. "Yin Soul Heaven..."

He didn't ask Qi Yuan how he found out but instead fell into deep thought.

"I'm already aware of this matter. For this month, try not to leave. If I get injured, you can go to the Moon Goddess Palace." Ziyuan Ancestor gave another instruction, and in that moment, his figure dissipated.

In the cavern, Qi Yuan looked at Ziyuan Daxue, who stood there, her expression calm.

It seemed that half a month later, he would have to get involved in this turmoil, as it involved nearly ten thousand drops of Black Demon Ancestor's Blood.

...

In an unknown land.

Two divine presences quietly conversed.

"You're actually willing to spend so much—this is two thousand drops of Black Demon Ancestor's Blood." The vast voice carried a hint of surprise.

If Ziyuan Ancestor were here, he would recognize this person as Yin Soul Heaven's Great Ancestor.

"Once the mission is accomplished, these two thousand drops of Black Demon Ancestor's Blood will return to my hands. What's there to fear?" The androgynous voice spoke.

This time, rather than saying that Guiyuetian was plotting against the Black Devil Abyss, it would be more accurate to say that a traitor within the Black Devil Abyss was collaborating with Guiyuetian.

"Who are you? In the Black Devil Abyss, who could possibly provide two thousand drops at once... I can't think of anyone." Yin Soul Heaven's Great Ancestor's eyes revealed a hint of apprehension.

He knew the person before him was familiar, but he couldn't place who it was.

Being able to produce two thousand drops of Black Demon Ancestor's Blood was extremely intimidating.

Of course, if it weren't for these two thousand drops, it wouldn't be possible to pretend to have nearly ten thousand drops, nor would it be possible to deceive the Great Supreme Enlightenments of the Black Devil Abyss into taking action.

"My identity isn't important. What matters is... our goal, which is to benefit ourselves." The androgynous voice trailed off.

"Even we, as Great Supreme Enlightenments, have to consider our own escape routes when facing the Lin Ya Transformation. Are you sure you won't join me in submitting to Taohuang Palace?" Yin Soul Heaven's Great Ancestor asked tentatively.

Among the Black Devil Abyss, Yin Soul Heaven had the best relationship with Taohuang Palace.

Yin Soul Heaven was also at war with the Moon Goddess Palace.

"No." The androgynous voice rejected the idea.

"Since it's like that... I'll take the credit for this. With Ziyuan Ancestor's blood and the life of a Great Supreme Enlightenment, the curtain will rise on this Lin Ya Transformation!" Yin Soul Heaven's Great Ancestor's voice carried a hint of madness.

With the Root Demon Blood, Ziyuan Ancestor's death was certain.

"Sigh, during times of chaos, many powerful figures emerge. Who knows when the Lin Ya Transformation will end?" The androgynous voice sighed, revealing a sense of uncertainty about the future.

Yin Soul Heaven's Great Ancestor's gaze turned deep: "Speaking of which, what do you think of the Emperor Palace Envoy?"

"Mysterious, unknown, not a Supreme Principle, yet possessing incomprehensible abilities, causing headaches for Guiyuetian..." The androgynous voice replied.

Yin Soul Heaven's Great Ancestor's eyes flashed with killing intent: "This unstable factor must be eliminated at the start of the Lin Ya Transformation!"

The other side remained silent, offering no response.

Yin Soul Heaven's Great Ancestor continued to mutter to himself: "Hmph, he thinks he can hide, but he doesn't know... When the Lin Ya Transformation begins, Taohuang Palace will inspect the myriad realms. All Yang Deities will be exposed, no matter how well they hide!"

Every time the Lin Ya Transformation started, many Yang Deities would try to hide, hoping to avoid it.

Thus, there was a custom of inspecting the myriad realms.

Even if they hid in wondrous lands, they couldn't escape detection.

All Yang Deities would be like stars in the sky, their whereabouts known to all.

Hiding their strength was useless.

Yin Soul Heaven's Great Ancestor was preparing to submit to Taohuang Palace, so he held a grudge against the unpredictable Emperor Palace.

...

Within the Demon Gate.

Black Sword, in a white robe, had a deep gaze.

Usually, he was elegant and calm.

But lately, his eyes had been filled with a thick thread of worry.

"Ziyuan Shixiong, do you think... who could it be that betrayed the Black Devil Abyss? Could it be Old Five?"

Old Five referred to Yin Soul Heaven's Great Ancestor.

Ziyuan Ancestor's expression remained calm: "I don't know. Whoever betrays us has nothing to do with me."

If it were before, he might have been angry if Old Five betrayed him.

But after the last incident, he was thoroughly disappointed in his master.

Recently, when he mentioned that the Blood Cloak wanted to marry the Moon Maiden from the Moon Goddess Palace, he faced opposition from many of his fellow disciples.

They all said that since the Moon Goddess Palace was an enemy of Taohuang Palace, it was unwise for the Blood Cloak to marry the Moon Maiden.

At that time, Ziyuan Ancestor had made a firm statement.

He was determined to marry her.

If she didn't agree, he, Ziyuan Tian, would leave the Black Devil Abyss to avoid implicating them.

That's why this matter wasn't rejected.

Ziyuan Ancestor's feelings for the Black Devil Abyss were growing colder, and his disappointment deepened.

Black Sword heard Ziyuan Ancestor's response and understood his intentions, feeling a bit disappointed.

The current Black Devil Abyss was in disarray, full of holes.

"Besides Old Five, there might be other traitors hiding in the depths. This time, when we go to Guiyuetian to seize the Black Demon Ancestor's Blood, we must be extremely cautious. If the mission seems impossible, we can abandon the pursuit of the Black Demon Ancestor's Blood at any time." Black Sword spoke seriously.

He had deep feelings for the Black Devil Abyss and didn't want to see it fall apart.

Ziyuan Ancestor nodded without saying more.

At their level, conspiracies were of little use; it all came down to strength.

For example, this time, the opponent's intentions were clear, and they didn't even bother to hide them well. But Ziyuan Ancestor still had to enter the game and face the challenge.

Whether the conspiracy succeeded or not depended on the battle between the two sides! At their level, they were both extremely confident and didn't expect to lose badly.

Even a minor loss wouldn't be a big deal.
