Once the Buddhist Ancestor finished delivering Spirit City to the afterlife, the city's resentment dissipated. Ye Zichen and the others didn't linger and left the city.
However, the Lich King's appearance caused the great emperors' hearts to sink.
This was especially true of Empress Su Qingyan and the Four Directions Palace's Great Emperor Bi 'an. The Empress's younger brother was clearly dead, yet the Lich King had created him. This was blasphemy, and completely crossed the Empress's bottom line.
Great Emperor Bi 'an's brother, who'd fought with him for ten thousand years, had his soul extracted. From then on, they were separated by life and death.
The two great emperors now had a blood feud with the Lich King. As soon as they left Spirit City, they returned to their clans and swore to find the Lich King, even if they had to dig three feet into the ground.
Great Emperor Chao Feng and the Lord of Seven Stars, Ye Rong, returned to the Star Altar. Ever since the Bai Family incident, they hadn't returned to the Star Altar. The Society of Saints couldn't remain leaderless forever. While the empress and Great Emperor Bi 'an were gone, the two of them took the opportunity to go back and take a look.
As for the situation in Spirit City, the great emperors had long since created a group chat.
They could discuss the specifics in the group.
"Both Great Emperor Bi 'an and Empress Su Qingyan are furious."
"Do I need you to tell me? Who can't tell? "
"I really didn't come to your Third Era for nothing. I ran into so many sights I could only read about in ancient texts."
"Even the Lich King counts?"
"I guess so!"
Ye Zichen and Pu Jingwan naturally had to return to Heavenly God City. The conversation they'd had just now was what they'd been talking about.
Thud thud.
Both of them were knocked on the head. When they turned around, they saw Xuan Ji frowning at them.
"Who told you two to gossip behind my back?"
When they heard that, they smiled awkwardly and said nothing. Xuan Ji's expression grew serious.
"We'll be returning to Heavenly God City in a moment."
Ye Zichen and the others naturally knew what she meant. During this time, they'd mostly stayed in the Northern Divine Mountain, the Sea of Innocence, or traveled to the yao's Northern Kingdom. Although they'd sent their subordinates back to the Central Divine Mountain, Zhou Wu hadn't shown his face in Heavenly God City.
This trip back to the city could be considered their first clash with the God Emperor.
Whether or not Zhou Wu would play any tricks was something that could only be determined after they entered the city. "The most important thing is you. Now that you're in Heavenly God City, you'll be under the watchful eye of the God Emperor's Estate and Zhou Wu. Even if the Xue Family used Xue Tie as a cover for you, it's impossible to tell what Zhou Wu is thinking. None of us know what the Divine Arbiter reported to you, so you should be careful. "
Ji Ye said to Ye Zichen.
Ye Zichen nodded, then looked at Heavenly God City, which was just inches away. He took a deep breath, then flew directly into the city.
In the city.
Heavenly God City was still as prosperous as before. Everything was pretty much the same as before he left.
However, as soon as they entered the city, several auras swept over them. When they sensed these auras, Xuan Ji and Ye Zichen looked at each other, then nodded.
"I'm returning to the Profound Pavilion."
With that, she gently patted her pockets. Ye Zichen smiled and nodded, then watched her leave.
"Let's go back to the Upheaval Alliance."
As soon as he entered, Ye Zichen was shocked by the situation inside.
He could clearly sense that the number of rulers and diviners had multiplied, and the number of sky supremes and earth supremes was frightening.
The moment Ye Zichen entered the alliance, Xiao Yumei hurried over.
"This person …."
Ding!
Ye Zichen's phone buzzed, and Xiao Yumei shot him a meaningful glance.
He nodded, took out his phone, and saw that he'd received a message.
"This isn't the place to talk. Let's head inside."
Ye Zichen and Pu Jingwan followed Xiao Yumei into the Upheaval Alliance's inner sect. After passing through countless gravel paths, they stopped in front of an artificial mountain.
She gently touched the mountain, and a door of light appeared in front of it.
Xiao Yumei shot Ye Zichen a meaningful glance, then walked in first. Ye Zichen glanced back and forth a few times, then followed.
"Alliance Head!"
Beyond the door of light was a completely different world.
As soon as they entered, Ye Zichen saw Xiao Hu, Xiao Yan, Wei Jie, and the other higher-ups of the alliance.
Xiao Yumei nodded at them, then smiled and explained, "This secret realm is a divine artifact sent over by the Outsiders.
"This mystic realm is a divine artifact sent over by an outsider. Even Zhou Wu can't extend his divine sense into this place. The upper echelons of the Alliance are all here to discuss matters."
"That's right."
Ye Zichen nodded. This secret realm was vast. It wasn't endless, but it was big enough to house a million people.
Although it was a divine artifact, he could still sense the flow of the world's laws.
"That's not all. The flow of time inside and outside is different," said Xiao Yumei. "A day outside is a hundred days inside. This place can be used to cultivate talents. A hundred times the time is more than enough for the Upheaval Alliance to grow by leaps and bounds in a short period of time. "
"The Outsiders really do have divine artifacts like this!" Ye Zichen couldn't help but sigh.
He'd mentioned this divine artifact while negotiating with the Outsiders. In truth, he'd never even considered the possibility that it would actually exist. He'd just mentioned it casually. He never would have guessed they'd actually send it over.
"Those people outside are …."
"The Outsiders came a few days ago and left behind a group of people to prepare for battle," said Xiao Yumei. "Quite a few of them were sent here by the Divine Mountains, as well as people who heard of our reputation."
"Heard of our reputation?"
"The Upheaval Alliance's rise to power is rapid, and they have connections with the other Divine Mountains. Although they're just a new faction, it's only natural that some people want to join us. But …. "
"But it's also possible that other factions sent spies, such as the God Emperor's Estate and the Lightning Emperor's Estate," said Ye Zichen.
"That's right." Xiao Yumei nodded. "I'll send people to investigate the backgrounds of those who came because of the fame. However, if they want to send people here, they'll naturally do it very cleanly. It'll be hard to determine who they're truly loyal to in a short time. We can't really kick them out, either.
There are bound to be people who sincerely want to join us! "
"That's a real problem," said Pu Jingwan.
"What's so difficult about that? If they want to send us people, we'll just use them."
Ye Zichen didn't have to worry about it. If they wanted to establish a faction, they'd definitely send spies. This was unavoidable.
He'd already sent people to the Lightning Emperor's Estate, so how could they not send more?
"Right, how are things going in Spirit City?" asked Xiao Yumei.
