After receiving their orders, the Lingyun World Master Azure Underworld Immortal hurriedly departed.
The two first arrived at the Black Tortoise World.
The Black Tortoise World and the Dragon Abyss World have always had a good relationship, and the rulers of both realms are also very powerful.
No matter which side you persuade, the other side will naturally lean towards your side.
As soon as Lingyun World Master and Azure Underworld Immortal stepped into Black Tortoise World, Black Tortoise World Lord and Black Tortoise Sovereign came out to greet them.
"We are honored that you two fellow Daoists have graced our Black Tortoise World with your presence. We apologize for not being able to welcome you properly and hope that you will not take offense."
"Black Tortoise World Lord is too kind. I apologize for disturbing you, fellow Daoist!"
After exchanging pleasantries, the three followed the Black Tortoise World Lord into the main hall.
The Black Tortoise Sovereign sat high in the main hall, looking at the Lingyun World Master and the Azure Underworld Immortal: "Fellow Daoists, you must have come here to discuss something. Please speak freely."
The Lingyun World Master and the Azure Underworld Immortal exchanged a glance. The Lingyun World Master then spoke slowly, "Since you are so straightforward, I will speak frankly."
"The Nine Yang World and the Nine Netherworld are now secretly colluding with the Dark Shadow Clan, preparing to devour the Primordial Origin World. We have come here to hear your opinion on this matter."
Upon hearing this, the Black Tortoise World Lord looked hesitant. "Oh? Is that so?"
"It's absolutely true—!"
The Black Tortoise World Lord frowned deeply. "I didn't expect that these two old fogies, Jiuyou and Jiuyang, would be so open about it now. The Dark Shadow Clan has always been a major taboo for everyone."
"I never imagined that they would openly collude together like this."
"The two of them had tried to win me and Brother Longyuan over before, but after being angrily rebuked by Brother Longyuan, they unexpectedly turned around and colluded with the Dark Shadow Clan."
Azure Underworld Immortal also said, "What you say is true, fellow Daoist. In the past, we have repeatedly besieged the Dark Shadow Clan, but they have always managed to escape. We have always suspected that someone is backing them up. Now it seems that the answer is self-evident!"
"The Lingyun World Master and I have come here today is for this matter."
"If we don't prepare in advance, and they break through our defenses one by one, then it will be too late to turn the tide."
Upon hearing this, the Black Tortoise World Lord frowned, seemingly deep in thought.
"So, do either of you have a solution?"
The Lingyun World Master looked at the Black Tortoise Sovereign with a grave expression. "To be honest, Brother Qingming and I have joined the Primordial Origin World, with the Primordial Origin World at the forefront..."
"What? You two fellow Daoists are led by the Primordial Origin World? Just what is the origin of the Primordial Origin World?"
"To establish a new realm and gain the support of two fellow Daoists at the same time, could it be that the Primordial Origin World has a great background, just as rumored?"
The Lingyun World Master smiled slightly and looked at the Black Tortoise Sovereign: "Fellow Daoist, this is a long story, but we two have indeed submitted to the Primordial Origin World."
"We two have a deep connection with the Primordial Origin World, and you will understand the reason in due time."
Upon hearing this, the Black Tortoise World Lord nodded. "In that case, this matter is of great importance. I will also summon the Dragon Abyss World Lord so that we can discuss this matter at length. What do you two think?"
Upon hearing this, Lingyun World Master and Azure Underworld Immortal nodded. "If that's the case, then it's excellent!"
The Black Tortoise World Lord's soul wandered beyond the heavens, and before long, the Dragon Abyss World Lord appeared in the main hall.
After the group exchanged greetings, Azure Underworld Immortal spoke first:
"Fellow Daoists, before the Primordial Origin World emerged, the eight realms of our Hundun World, though they had minor frictions, were nothing more than petty squabbles among the lower realms."
"We have always been quite restrained. My Azure Underworld and High Heaven World have always had a good relationship, as you two fellow Daoists are probably aware of."
"The Nine Yang World, the Nine Netherworld, and the Purple Flame World have always been allies, and it is said that the people in these Three Realms are also quite powerful."
"The Realm of Voidless World goes without saying. This realm has always remained hidden from the world, yet no one dares to provoke it. It must have something unique about it."
"But the Shadow Clan has always been regarded as a thorn in everyone's side, and now they have openly formed an alliance with the Nine Yang World."
"The relationship between them must be complicated. If I'm not mistaken, it must be related to the emergence of the Primordial Origin World."
"The emergence of the Primordial Origin World disrupted the previous balance, so the Three Realms and the Dark Shadow Clan simply stopped pretending and openly started working together."
"The reason why Lingyun World Master and I have come here is precisely for this matter. I wonder what insights Brother Xuanwu and Brother Longyuan have?"
As soon as the Azure Underworld Immortal finished speaking, the Dragon Abyss World Lord said:
"Fellow Daoist Qingming, I think this matter is already very clear. The Three Realms have always harbored wolfish ambitions, and now it is obvious."
"Since they can openly cooperate with the Dark Shadow Clan, disregarding their reputation, there must be a deeper meaning behind it. I'm afraid the peace in the Hundun is about to be broken."
"What you say is absolutely right, Brother Dao. Putting aside the fact that the Nine Yang World has always had grand ambitions, the Dark Shadow Clan alone is notorious."
"Now that they have joined forces, I'm afraid there will Wutian in this Hundun."
Upon hearing this, the Black Tortoise World Lord waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Qingming is overthinking it. Although the strength of these Three Realms is considerable, we are not to be trifled with either. Even with the presence of that pest, the Dark Shadow Clan, there is no need to worry."
Upon hearing this, Lingyun World Master hurriedly said, "Black Tortoise World Lord, you must not be careless. The Dark Shadow Clan is definitely not to be underestimated."
Dragon Abyss World Lord nodded slightly. "Lingyun World Master is quite right. Brother, do not underestimate the enemy. The Dark Shadow Clan is skilled in assassination and is treacherous and cunning. We must be on guard."
After a moment of contemplation, the Black Tortoise World Lord looked at everyone and said, "In your opinion, what should we do now? We can't just sit here and wait to die."
Azure Underworld Immortal's eyes sharpened. "We can send people to investigate first, to see the specific movements of those alliances, as well as their plans and deployments. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle."
Lingyun World Master continued, "This matter will be handled by me and Azure Underworld. You two just need to protect your own forces to prevent being attacked by the enemy."
"How can that be? Since we have agreed to form an alliance, we will naturally advance and retreat together. How can we let you two take risks while we hide behind you?"
"Haha, Brother Longyuan, you have quite the spirit. However, we have already made a plan for this matter. You two should just focus on protecting yourselves. When the time comes, we will certainly speak frankly."
The Black Tortoise World Lord lowered his head in thought for a moment, then frowned and looked at the three of them:
"I understand what Realm Lingyun World Master means. I have also heard about the forces behind you."
"I admire your character and that of Fellow Daoist Qingming. However, what you said is inappropriate. Why don't you listen to my plan?"
"Oh, fellow Daoist, please speak freely."
The Black Tortoise World Lord explained his plan in detail.
The Dragon Abyss World Lord clapped his hands and laughed, "Hahaha, this plan is excellent. However, this news must be kept secret. If it leaks out, it might alert the enemy."
Azure Underworld Immortal stood up and said loudly, "Then it's settled. My Azure Underworld is willing to send a portion of its elite forces to investigate. Fellow Daoists, please also arrange for manpower to go to the Primordial Origin World as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures."
"Alright, let's split up and proceed according to plan."
After saying this, the three realm lords left the Black Tortoise World to carry out their plans.
However, things did not go as they had imagined.
Just as the three realm lords left the Black Tortoise World, experts from the Dark Shadow Clan slowly emerged from the darkness.
With a wave of his hand, the leader sent the Dark Shadow Clan experts rushing into the Black Tortoise World like ghosts.
In a short time, countless experts perished within the Black Tortoise World.
The Black Tortoise World Lord noticed the anomaly immediately.
He rushed out of the main hall, only to find a man in black robes blocking his way.
"Your opponent is me!"
The voice was aged and desolate, sending chills down one's spine.
"No wonder you had no aura. It turns out that the Dark Shadow Clan's Old Ancestor personally took action. You've certainly cunningly planned this."
As they spoke, another powerful aura slowly appeared before the Black Tortoise World Lord.
"Purple Flame? Hmph, you two are truly birds of a feather!"
The Purple Flame World Lord sneered, "You ungrateful wretch, I'll show you my power."
Just as he was about to step forward, the Dark Shadow Clan Old Ancestor reached out and stopped him.
"You two are evenly matched, so let me handle this. Let's finish this quickly to avoid any trouble."
Having said that, he struck out with a palm towards the Black Tortoise World Lord.
Seeing the fierce palm strike, the Black Tortoise World Lord was forced to retreat repeatedly after taking the full force of the blow.
He looked at the Dark Shadow Clan Old Ancestor in disbelief.
"You, you've actually reached the peak..."
