"The Upheaval Alliance is getting more and more out of hand."
"I know, right? I thought the Upheaval Alliance's presence would make Heavenly God City more stable. Who would've guessed things would turn out this way?"
"Shh, don't talk nonsense. I heard the Upheaval Alliance is connected to the Profound Pavilion."
Everyone in the city heard the Upheaval Alliance's slander.
Most of the people saying such things were victims whose interests had been infringed upon. They'd complained to the city's defenses, but hadn't received a resolution. All they could do was grumble in private.
"It seems Yang Jian's actions have affected the city's residents greatly," said Xiao Yumei through divine sense.
Ye Zichen simply nodded in response. He didn't want things to turn out this way either, but a monarch-level conflict couldn't be played out so calmly.
All he could do was deal with it, and the Upheaval Alliance would do its best to compensate them for their losses.
After returning to the Upheaval Alliance's headquarters, Ye Zichen and the others headed straight for Wei Jie and the others.

"Alliance Head."
"Big Sis."
"Big Sis."
Wei Jie and Xiao Yan turned around. When they saw Ye Zichen, Xiao Hu's expression was unsightly, but he still grit his teeth and nervously called out, "Alliance Head."
Ye Zichen glanced at Xiao Hu, then nodded.
No matter what conflicts they'd had in the past, they were now comrades in the same trench. Besides, even if it was out of respect for Xiao Yumei, he wouldn't feel any animosity towards Xiao Hu.
Although he didn't say anything, his nod was an acknowledgment of Xiao Hu's participation.
Everyone present understood this. Xiao Hu had been in a high position for a long time, so there was no way he'd cry tears of gratitude. However, subconsciously, his attitude had changed. Xiao Yan, who'd been planning on putting in a good word for Xiao Hu, laughed. It seemed this brother-in-law of his was quite broad-minded.
Explosions continued to ring out in the sky. The faces of Wei Jie and the others sank when they heard those explosions.
"I wasn't very clear on my cell phone earlier. What exactly is going on? Why did Yang Jian and the Great Sage start fighting? Aren't they pretty close?"
"That …." Wei Jie stammered, but said nothing.
"Just get to the point. Although they're my trusted aides, you're my trusted aide as well. Aside from their cultivation being slightly higher than yours, there's nothing else you can say. Just get to the point, "said Ye Zichen.
"Actually, I'm not too sure what the conflict is." Wei Jie narrowed his eyes. "Ever since the two of them returned, they've been quarreling with each other. They've also exchanged blows several times. However, this time, it seems like the two of them are truly enraged. They're fighting much more fiercely than before."
"You've fought before?" Ye Zichen frowned.
Wei Jie and the others nodded in silence. Xiao Yan spoke up as well.
"You know what realm they're at. None of us can do anything about it."
"I understand. I won't blame you for this," Ye Zichen nodded solemnly. "Why did they start fighting?"
"Could it be that Xiao Ting went looking for Yang Jian?" asked Xiao Yumei.
"Father?" Xiao Yan arched his brows, but he quickly corrected himself. "Xiao Ting went looking for Yang Jian. When did this happen? Is Yang Jian connected to him?"
"That was a long time ago."
As the alliance head, there was no need for Ye Zichen to explain the details to them right now. Xiao Yan and the others understood their own statuses very well, so they didn't ask any further questions.
Ye Zichen looked up into the sky for a while, then panted heavily.
"You guys wait here. I'll go up and call them over. This is the God Realm's capital. We can't let them continue causing trouble like this."
"Should we go with you?" asked Xiao Yumei and Pu Jingwan in unison.
"No need. I'll go up myself. No matter how much trouble they cause, I'll go up and make peace in person. There's no way they won't give me face."
"I'm just worried that Yang Jian …."
"Xiao Yan, watch your words."
Ye Zichen's gaze instantly darkened. Xiao Yan also realized he'd misspoken.
In terms of trust, he was from the Xiao Family. Even though he was related to his sister, there was no way he could compare to Yang Jian and the Great Sage in terms of trust.
He'd said those words out of goodwill. As a member of the Xiao Family, he knew full well how Xiao Ting targeted Ye Zichen.
He'd only said those words because he was worried that Yang Jian might betray them and secretly have an affair with Xiao Ting. However, he'd forgotten that he hadn't reached the point where he could confide in Ye Zichen yet.
Ye Zichen nodded silently and retreated. Xiao Yumei couldn't help but speak up.
"My little brother is just worried about you."
"I know, but I trust that Yang Jian won't betray me." Ye Zichen's cold demeanor reached its pinnacle. His indifference left Xiao Yumei speechless. Then, she heard Ye Zichen say, "You guys wait here. I'll go up and take a look."
Boom!
Yang Jian and the Great Sage's weapons clashed in the sky. Judging from their expressions, they really weren't holding back at all. Every blow was aimed at taking Ye Zichen's life. Boundless divine power filled the sky above Heavenly God City with a dark mist.
"Monkey, you really are ruthless."
"Old Sun knows how to deal with treacherous scoundrels like you!"
The two Imperial Monarchs roared furiously in the sky. Just the sound waves alone were enough to heavily injure an Earth Supreme expert.
"What are you two doing?"
At that moment, Ye Zichen appeared between them.
He glowered at them, his brows furrowed with fury.
"I told you to come back to protect the Upheaval Alliance, not to mess around!"
"Alliance Head!"
Yang Jian and the Great Sage simultaneously cupped their fists at Ye Zichen. Before long, the Great Sage snorted. "Alliance Head, please understand. He …. Previously, he plotted with Xiao Ting, the head of the Xiao Family. Back then, for your sake, I didn't bicker with him. However, he didn't use his full strength in the Bai Family, and after returning to Heavenly God City, he secretly contacted the Xiao Family many times.
I think he's a spy from the Upheaval Alliance. "
"Bullshit!" roared Yang Jian, his face red.
"Do you dare say that last night, you met with someone from the Xiao Family outside Heavenly God City?" said the Great Sage solemnly.
When he heard that, Ye Zichen couldn't help but knit his brows.
"Yang Jian, are you telling the truth?"
"I …" Yang Jian's voice faltered. "Yes, the Xiao Family came to me last night, but I rejected all of their offers. Yezi, I've always been with you. You should know best what kind of person I am. "
Ye Zichen focused his gaze in silence. Seeing this, Yang Jian couldn't help but roar angrily.
"You don't believe me!"
"I didn't say that I don't believe you. But since you're following me, you should know the grudge between me and the Xiao Family. If you don't admit it, the Xiao family has looked for you, and I will believe you. But just now you … "
"It's said that when a person sits in a high position, their temperament will change. This time, I really believe it!"
Yang Jian laughed out loud, causing the entire void to tremble.
All the cultivators in Heavenly God City felt a chill down their spines.
"Enough about that. Come with me. I'll investigate whether or not you're in cahoots with the Xiao Family!" said Ye Zichen.
"Investigate? Now you're talking about an investigation! If it was in the past, you would have trusted me unconditionally. But now, you don't trust me? You trust this monkey who's only been with you for a short while? We were brothers back in the Lower Realms! Ye-zi, you've truly disappointed me. "
