After leaving the God of Killing World, Gu Yi did not immediately head to the Nine Heavens Continent. Instead, he first returned to the Dou Qi Continent.
Through the Blood Shadow Avatar he had left there, he discovered that quite a few things had happened within and beyond the Jia Ma Empire over the past six months.
Just one month ago, the Chuyun Empire's imperial family, major sects, and clans had suddenly dispatched troops to attack the Jia Ma Empire.
Leading them was the Chuyun Empire's strongest sect, the Myriad Scorpion Gate.
Faced with the aggressive Chuyun Empire army, the newly established Cloud Sea Alliance immediately responded, sending large numbers of troops and powerful experts to Black Mountain Fortress.
Several months earlier, when Gu Yi had just entered the God of Killing World and was waiting in Heavenfall City for the fragmented map to appear—
The Cloud Mist Sect, Jia Ma Imperial Family, Three Great Clans, Alchemist Guild, and other factions, along with the Snake-people Race of the Tagor Desert, had finished their negotiations, formed an alliance, and established the Cloud Sea Alliance.
Naturally, Gu Yi's influence had been indispensable in all this.
There was no need to mention the Cloud Mist Sect. Its former sect leader, Yun Shan, was Gu Yi's Blood Shadow Puppet, and it had been he who proposed the establishment of the Cloud Sea Alliance.
The other factions had agreed because of Gu Yi's strength and potential.
Everyone in the Jia Ma Empire had witnessed Gu Yi's strength firsthand.
A few months ago, he had killed a Dou Zong expert head-on and captured Queen Medusa, making her his follower.
Gu Yi was undeniably the strongest person in the Jia Ma Empire, as well as a high-grade sixth-tier alchemist.
Most importantly, Gu Yi was young—not yet twenty.
