On the Central Divine Mountain.
Ever since Spirit City had been destroyed, cultivators had flooded into the other cities of the Central Divine Mountain.
Among them, Heavenly God City was the most crowded. The rent for inns and hotels in the city had risen by forty percent in a single day. Over the past few days, large numbers of people had sought refuge with the local factions.
"Have you found out?"
In the Xiao Family's secret territory, the Lightning Emperor, Xiao Ting, sat cross-legged on the ground.
His surroundings were filled with light and the power of lightning. The void above his head was also filled with a heavy color. From time to time, lightning would fall from the void above.
"I've found out." Uncle An's back was stooped as he stood outside the lightning. "Spirit City was destroyed. These people are all its survivors."
"Spirit City?" Xiao Ting furrowed his brows.
"News of this has been locked down, so it took us a while to get the news. According to our subordinates, Spirit City was destroyed because of Bai Mingli's self-detonation. "
"Bai Mingli self-detonated? That means Xuan Ji and the others went to Spirit City because of the Bai Family, right?"
"Yes," nodded Uncle An.
When Xiao Ting heard this, he walked down from the lightning platform. As he did, numerous lightning pythons flicked their tongues. He narrowed his eyes and walked to a seat on the lightning platform. He pulled a cigar-like object from his spatial ring, lit it, and took a drag.
"Has the God Emperor made any moves? He'd raised the Bai Family himself. If Xuan Ji and the others forced Bai Mingli to self-detonate, the Bai Family would surely be destroyed. Is he definitely going to act against the Profound Pavilion? "
Asked Xiao Ting.
"I haven't heard anything yet. I don't think the God Emperor wants to deal with them either," said Uncle An.
"As expected, Zhou Wu is far-sighted and resilient," praised the Lightning Emperor with a cold smile. However, his eyes were filled with mockery.
He knew exactly why Zhou Wu had calmed down. There was nothing wrong with his actions at a time like this. On the other hand, if he'd handled things beautifully, he wouldn't have attacked the Profound Pavilion.
Instead, he'd gone out of his way to repair his relationship with them.
This was a terrible move.
But when he considered Zhou Wu's current situation, even if it was a terrible move, he had to brace himself and continue. Even the Yuchi and Huangfu Clans were a far cry from the Divine Mountains and Sacred Lands' strength.
Among his subordinates, the Shen Family was the only one he could use. In the near future, he would definitely make contact with the Divine Mountains that had yet to take sides.
"How are our neighbors?" asked Xiao Ting.
"It's still in its embryonic form. It's not worth mentioning. There are almost no experts in the Upheaval Alliance. Xiao Yan is busy managing the Upheaval Alliance's affairs, "said Uncle An.
"What a useless son. Is there any news about Yang Jian?"
"He went with Ye Zichen to the Bai Family. He hasn't returned yet," said Uncle An.
"That's right. That brat only has so many capable subordinates, so it's only natural to bring him along. Wait for him to come back and continue the contact. "
With that, Xiao Ting closed his eyes.
Unexpectedly, Uncle An still hadn't left. Xiao Ting opened his eyes.
"Is there anything else?"
"There's an ambitious person outside who wants to join our Xiao family," Uncle An said.
"Can't you handle it?"
"He specifically said that he wanted to see you in person. This old servant tested his skills and found that it was worth it for His Majesty to go in person."
"Really?" Xiao Ting's interest was piqued. "Let's go take a look!"
…
As expected, Ye Zichen obeyed Ye Rong's wishes. After she left, he rested and didn't even touch his phone.
The next morning, when he awoke from his slumber, he didn't hesitate to add Yang Jian and the Great Sage into the group. The two of them also added Pu Jingwan and Xiao Yumei.
Invincible Adorable Beauty: "What are you doing? Are you still asleep?"
Only Idealism: Are you a pig? You slept for so long and you still haven't woken up?
Invincible Adorable Beauty: "Don't be so heartless. We all thought that you would pull us back at night, so we waited until dawn."
Invincible Adorable Beauty: You can ask them if you don't believe me!
Ultimate Charmer: "Okay."
Erlang Shen: Big sister Park's words are true, but it's a bit exaggerated to say that I'm not fully awake. They were all Ruler level cultivators, so they would be full of energy after a short rest.
Monkey King: I, Lai Sun, feel refreshed.
Invincible Adorable Beauty:??? What do you two mean by this? Erlang Shen: Monkey King:
Erlang Shen: Big sister Park, please calm down!
Monkey King: Big sister Park, please spare me!
Ye Zichen was in a good mood as soon as he entered the group and started acting like a clown. After arguing with them in the group for a while, he finally got to the point of inviting them into the group.
Only Idealism: I haven't told you about last night. Let's continue.
Invincible Adorable Beauty: (Serious face)
Ultimate Charmer: What's up?
Erlang Shen: Go on.
Monkey King: You'd better put it in a more general way. We have a guy with an undeveloped brain. If you say it too generally, he won't understand. (Evil smile)
Erlang Shen: I feel like you're hinting at me. (Sinister)
Only Idealism: (Knock on the blackboard) Stop messing around. I'm going to get down to business.
When the others saw the message in the group, they all revealed serious expressions. Not long later, Ye Zichen sent a message in the group.
Only Idealism: After the Bai Family's massacre, we're completely at odds with the God Emperor.
Ultimate Charmer: That's only natural. The Bai Family is his right-hand man. If the Bai Family is wiped out, it won't just be us, the Sea of Innocence and the other major powers will also bear a grudge against us.
Erlang Shen: I'm not a good person in the first place. I'll become an enemy sooner or later.
Invincible Adorable Beauty: "You can't say that. Previously, although we would become enemies in the future, at that time, everything was just tacit. This time, the conflict is out in the open."
Monkey King: "Ye-zi, are you worried about Wei Jie and the others in Heavenly God City?
He never would have guessed the Great Sage would be the first to get to the point. He'd mentioned the Bai Family because he was worried about the Upheaval Alliance.
The Upheaval Alliance's headquarters were located in Heavenly God City. Their original goal was to put pressure on the Lightning Emperor's Estate, but no one expected things to change so quickly. Because of Xue Mo's heavy injuries, they destroyed the Bai Family and instilled a grudge with the God Emperor.
Heavenly God City was God Emperor Zhou Wu's territory, and the Upheaval Alliance didn't have many experts. Only Xiao Yan was in charge.
Invincible Adorable Beauty: I almost forgot. The Upheaval Alliance is based in Heavenly God City. That's the God Emperor's territory!
Erlang Shen: We pissed off the God Emperor pretty badly. The Upheaval Alliance won't …
Ultimate Charmer: I don't think so. Besides, if the God Emperor really was going to deal with the Upheaval Alliance, we'd definitely hear about it.
Invincible Adorable Beauty: It's hard to say. The Upheaval Alliance's elites are all gone. The only ones left are earth supremes. Heavenly God City is the God Emperor's territory. Destroying the Upheaval Alliance would be as easy as turning over his hand.
Monkey King: I'll go ask.
Only Idealism: No need. I already asked.
Before he added Yang Jian and the Great Sage into the group, he'd already gotten in touch with Wei Jie and found out that nothing had happened to the Upheaval Alliance or the Profound Pavilion.
He relaxed a little, but he didn't mention anything about his grudge with the God Emperor.
If the God Emperor could tolerate the Upheaval Alliance, then he naturally wouldn't break this delicate balance. However, no one could be sure what the God Emperor was secretly plotting. He had to be on guard.
Only Idealism: I'm going to tell Yang Jian and the Great Sage to go back.
Erlang Shen: Go back?
Monkey King: Then what are you going to do?
Only Idealism: This is the Sea of Innocence. I won't be in any danger. If you two go back, you'll just have to put on an act.
