The best thing to do now was take a step back and hand Wen Diyi over to the Wen family, letting them hold off the Sword Sect while they hurried to reinforce the Cosmic Sea. Based on the current situation, that was the best decision. But it was based on the current situation as they understood it. Mr. Liu Ye and Wen Zizai had no idea—not even Liu Qianjue of the Sword Sect knew—that the Xia family was behind this, and Xia Ji was the most likely culprit.
This war had been set in motion by the Xia family, who had secrets they kept hidden from the world. How could it be brought to a simple end? Whether the Wen family and the Sword Sect got involved or not, the battle would escalate until Changtian Island and the Seven Character Royal Court joined in.

Wen Zizai was stunned. What was going on? He stared blankly at Dean Han, who was just as surprised. He hadn't expected Lu Yin
