Yan Tiangang suspected that someone had sneaked into the Divine Palace to search for treasures.
However, when he thought about it, even he did not dare to do so, who would be so bold?
Did they have a death wish?
He was certain it was not someone from Great Yan's Imperial family.
As for the other nine sects and aristocratic families, they should not be so arrogant.
His priority now was to calm the agitated experts and stabilize the situation.
As expected, his plan worked.
The experts from the 40 factions calmed down and looked at Yan Tiangang in unison.
Someone asked loudly, "Patriarch Yan, it's not that we don't believe you, but the truth is right before our eyes. We need an explanation!"
Someone shouted, "Patriarch Yan, we're allies. We have to enter the Divine Palace together and investigate the truth. Only then can we convince the masses.
If the ten great sects and aristocratic families enter the Divine Palace to investigate, we won't believe the results of your investigation without witnessing it with our own eyes! "
Hearing these words, countless Divine Lord powerhouses voiced their agreement.
Clearly, the 40 factions were causing a ruckus because they wanted to enter the Greenjade Divine Palace.
In truth, the truth and outcome of the matter were not that important.
Yan Tiangang understood this as well, but there was nothing he could do.
If he did not allow the 40 factions to enter the Divine Palace, the more than 10,000 people would definitely go crazy and cause a great disaster.
However, if they were allowed to enter, the 20,000 people would swarm into the Divine Palace, and it would be even more chaotic.
It would be difficult for the ten great sects and aristocratic families to obtain any treasures. They might even return empty-handed.
When he thought about this, Yan Tiangang felt a headache coming on. He frowned as he thought of a solution.
At this moment, Ye Wuji, the Sect Master of Heavenly Unity, stepped forward and said with a dignified expression, "Don't worry, everyone. For the sake of fairness, all the factions can enter the Divine Palace and investigate the truth together.
However, everyone knows that this is the Greenjade Divine King's cave abode.
Only high-rank Divine Lords can enter the Divine Palace safely and effectively.
Those below that realm won't be able to find any clues even if they enter the Divine Palace. Their lives might even be in danger.
Moreover, if everyone swarms in, it'll definitely cause chaos and cause more trouble … "
When Ye Wuji said this, the experts of the dozens of forces all understood what he meant.
The Divine Lords of the various factions agreed with this statement and were willing to accept it.
However, someone raised a question.
"Sect Master Ye, what you said makes sense. We are all willing to accept it.
However, for the sake of fairness, the ten great sects and aristocratic families must also be treated equally! "
This person's meaning was that the forty factions would only send powerhouses above middle-level Divine Lords to enter the Divine Palace to investigate the truth.
The remaining elite forces were left outside the gates of the Divine Palace.
The top ten sects and clans should also do the same. They should let their disciples stay outside the Divine Palace and only allow the strong ones to enter.
This request was approved by dozens of factions. Countless Divine Lord powerhouses also voiced their agreement.
Ye Wuji furrowed his brows. He looked displeased and his eyes were cold.
However, under the watchful eyes of so many people, he could not flare up and could only forcefully suppress his anger.
At this moment, Yan Tiangang spoke, agreeing to this condition.
"Everyone, don't worry. Sect Master Ye's suggestion is reasonable. Naturally, everyone will abide by it and treat everyone equally."
Yan Tiangang's reply could be considered as a final decision.
The matter was thus decided.
The elite forces and disciples of the various forces all stopped outside the gate of the Divine Palace and waited patiently.
All of the High Divine Lords, regardless of whether they were injured or not, hurried to gather at the gates of the Divine Palace.
More than three hundred High Divine Lords were divided into fifty teams.
It was clear that there were more than ten High Divine Lords from each of the top ten sects and clans.
As for the forty ordinary factions, there were usually only three to five High Divine Lords. A few could reach six or seven.
After the fifty teams had gathered, everyone was filled with anticipation.
Yan Tiangang did not waste any time. He said to the elite forces of the dozens of factions, "All of you, stay outside the Divine Palace. No matter what, don't enter the Divine Palace to avoid any accidents."
Then, he looked at the High Divine Lords around him. He waved his hand and ordered, "Let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he extended his palms and released his divine power, pushing open the gates of the Divine Palace.
Creak! Creak! Creak!
With a series of muffled sounds, the tall gates opened to both sides, revealing a wide gate.
Yan Tiangang led the fifteen High Divine Lords of the Great Yan Imperial family through the gate and into the Green Jade Palace.
Immediately after, the experts of the top ten sects and clans entered the Green Jade Palace as well.
Naturally, the High Divine Lords of the forty factions could not fall behind. They immediately followed.
More than three hundred High Divine Lords flew majestically through the air, heading straight for the plaza and the main hall.
Although most of the High Divine Lords were heavily injured and weak, they were able to enter the Divine Palace.
However, they were able to enter the Divine Palace as they wished. Their spirits were lifted, and they were very excited.
After entering the Divine Palace, they looked around and observed with curiosity and anticipation.
The intricacies and layout of the Divine Palace filled them with anticipation and admiration.
The High Divine Lords also coveted the gemstones used in the plaza and the stone path.
Many people stopped in their tracks. They took out their weapons and tools and started digging for the gemstones and gemstones.
This scene caused Yan Tiangang, Ye Wuji, and the others to shake their heads inwardly. They sneered disdainfully.
The experts of the top ten sects and clans also had expressions of disdain and mockery on their faces.
Just as they passed through the plaza and were about to enter the main hall to investigate the situation …
A deafening sound came from the palaces behind the main hall.
Pitch-black cold air surged into the sky. Violent shockwaves swept through the surrounding palaces.
More than half of Green Jade Divine Palace violently shook a few more times.
This situation caused the three hundred High Divine Lords to tense up. They all looked towards the depths of the Divine Palace.
"Let's go and see what's going on!"
Yan Tiangang immediately made a decision. He gave up on investigating the main hall and headed straight for the source of the sound.
He led the way, and the Divine Lords of the dozens of factions followed him into the depths of the Divine Palace.
Interestingly, there were only a hundred and twenty High Divine Lords flying towards the location of the incident.
The remaining two hundred High Divine Lords remained in the plaza and did not leave.
They were all heavily injured and looked very wretched. They were also very weak.
These people knew their limits and did not investigate the situation at all. Instead, they stayed in the plaza and dug for gemstones.
The two hundred or so people began to dig as quickly as they could.
The originally clean and tidy plaza, which was flickering with divine light, was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Finally …
Yan Tiangang led the hundred and twenty High Divine Lords to Green Jade Divine King's residence.
More than half of the residence had already collapsed and turned into ruins.
A pitch-black hole could be seen amidst the ruins. Black cold air constantly poured out of it.
There were low roars of beasts and loud booms coming from the hole.
