"What? Has Heavenly Azure Hall gone mad?"

"What's Heavenly Azure Hall up to?"

"..."

When they received the so-called invitation from the Heavenly Azure Hall, which contained a blatant threat, almost all first-class and Super faction fell silent, followed by disbelief.

Although your Heavenly Azure Hall is powerful enough to dominate the generation, this is too arrogant. Do you think other forces would be afraid of you if they joined forces?

"So..."

"Go then! I don't believe Heavenly Azure Hall would dare to offend all of us, defying the world's will."

One of the Sect Master accepted the invitation from the Heavenly Azure Hall with considerable confidence.

Zhengyuan Sect.

The Sect Master of the Zhengyuan Sect looked at the Invitation Letter in front of him with an uncertain expression, pondering it carefully.

"What is the purpose of the Heavenly Azure Hall?"

For many years, the open and covert struggles between the Zhengyuan Sect and Heavenly Azure Hall have never ceased, but they have tacitly refrained from escalating the conflict.

For the Zhengyuan Sect, Heavenly Azure Hall possessed an overwhelming advantage, and a public showdown would be tantamount to courting death.

As for the Heavenly Azure Hall, eliminating such an obvious pawn Zhengyuan Sect is not very meaningful. The Extraterrestrial Evil race has the ability to support another force at any time. Rather than letting the other party go from the open to the shadows, it is better to keep it in sight.

Both sides share a common understanding on this matter.

The fact that Heavenly Azure Hall, which usually has almost no contact with the Zhengyuan Sect, extended an invitation to them is seen by the Zhengyuan Sect Master as a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken.

Could it be that they are planning to take this opportunity to wipe out the Zhengyuan Sect?

The Sect Master of the Zhengyuan Sect immediately dismissed this unreliable speculation, as nothing significant seemed to have occurred recently that would cause Heavenly Azure Hall to change its plans...

Wrong!

The sect Sect Master of the Zhengyuan Sect was suddenly startled!

There does seem to be a major event.

A sudden thought flashed through my mind: not long ago, that mysterious expert streaked across the Heavenly Azure Continent.

Could it be at the Heavenly Azure Hall?

Even though it was a chilling guess, the Sect Master of the Zhengyuan Sect had no choice but to acknowledge this option.

Considering the sudden loss of communication with the monsters outside not long ago, this guess seems even more reasonable.

If this guess is correct, then does it mean...?

Under the strike of that mysterious powerful figure, the hidden dangers that had Heavenly Azure Continent for thousands of years vanished without a trace.

Given the behavior of the Zhengyuan Sect over the years, the Zhengyuan Sect Master does not believe he can expect a peaceful end.

"No..."

"This kind of thing must never be allowed to happen."

Coming to his senses, the Zhengyuan Sect Master, drenched in cold sweat, summoned the Elder and coldly announced his arrangements...

Ultimately, top-tier and Super faction, including the Zhengyuan Sect, unanimously accepted the invitation.

In the eyes of many powerful figures, Heavenly Azure Hall's practices were not considered utterly heinous, and its reputation was still guaranteed.

Inside the Heavenly Azure Hall and Hidden Heaven Hall.

"Hall Master Liu, you must speed up your plan."

Xiao Han said to Liu Qingyang with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyang was first puzzled, then said seriously:

"What advice do you have for me, senior?"

"Could something have happened?"

Xiao Han nodded.

"Your Heavenly Azure Continent is not in a good location."

"Location?" Liu Qingyang was taken aback.

Xiao Han didn't say much, he just shook his head.

"I can only say that within a year, a rather troublesome enemy will appear on the Heavenly Azure Continent."

"At least I'm not sure if he can keep this continent intact."

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Profound Demon Emperor of the Extraterrestrial Evil race would inevitably be surrounded by a large number of Demon General and Demon Marshal-level, who would be the greatest threat to the Heavenly Azure Continent.

Even in the best-case scenario, where Xiao Han has the resources to help during the great battle, the Heavenly Azure Continent is still very likely to be riddled with holes and even reduced to ruins by the locusts and the aftermath of the battle.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyang's expression turned solemn. In his eyes, the original Extraterrestrial Evil race was already quite powerful, possessing the ability to destroy the Heavenly Azure Continent, but in Xiao Han's words, they were like clay chickens and earthenware dogs.

He couldn't imagine what kind of enemy could be described as "troublesome" by Xiao Han, who possessed such strength.

More importantly, the time was too short!

A year is not even as long as the time it takes for some powerful individuals to cultivate in seclusion.

It is clearly unrealistic to think that a war that has engulfed the entire continent can be ended within a year and that preparations can be made for the next bloody battle.

Faced with overwhelming power, any plan or strategy seems utterly ineffective.

With a strained bow, Liu Qingyang's face remained ashen.

"I humbly request your guidance, senior!"

Xiao Han shook his head, his expression calm.

"I wouldn't call it giving you advice; I can resolve the current troubles on the Heavenly Azure Continent."

At most, he could only call for reinforcements from the Great Thousand World. During that battle, he obtained the contact information of many Heavenly Supreme Sovereigns, all of whom were big shots from Super faction in the Great Thousand World.

Liu Qingyang's eyes showed surprise, but he suppressed it, feeling even more amazed by Xiao Han's abilities.

"Only..."

Before he could relax, Xiao Han changed the subject, making Liu Qingyang's heart tighten again.

"I can't help you solve problems indefinitely."

A sudden inspiration struck Liu Qingyang, and he blurted out,

"Does Senior mean that the Heavenly Azure Continent will continue to encounter such enemies?"

His face was rather pale, and he was full of doubts. He couldn't help but ask:

"What is so special about my Heavenly Azure Continent?"

Through Xiao Han, Liu Qingyang already knew that Heavenly Azure Continent was just one of the countless Lower Plane under the Great Thousand World, so why would it attract such a powerful enemy to be so persistent?

"Location."

Xiao Han uttered the word for the second time.

Without keeping him in suspense any longer, Xiao Han continued to explain.

"The Heavenly Azure Continent has a rather unique geographical location in the Void Space. As long as it remains located here, such threats may continue indefinitely."

"But..."

Liu Qingyang felt quite helpless. How could they choose their birthplace? Wasn't this a hopeless situation?

"There's another way."

Xiao Han pointed to the ground beneath his feet and said slowly.

"The Heavenly Azure Continent is still somewhat special."

Want to know?

"Of course I want to." Liu Qingyang nodded hastily, as if he had grabbed the last straw when he was drowning.

Immediately, under Liu Qingyang's expectant gaze, Xiao Han grinned and held up one finger.

"One condition."

Although it might seem like taking advantage of someone's misfortune, Xiao Han was unwilling to put in all his effort only to end up with nothing.

"Please speak freely, senior."

Liu Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief. It was just one condition, and compared to his demands, one condition was actually too little.

"You, join my forces."

Liu Qingyang:??!!

"Senior..."

Even though he had always maintained a humble attitude, at this moment Liu Qingyang couldn't help but wonder if he was the kind of genius who could traverse the ages.

Otherwise, why would a powerful figure from the Great Thousand World be so eager to win him over or even coerce him into joining their faction?

"This junior's talent...?"

Liu Qingyang asked cautiously.

Xiao Han naturally understood Liu Qingyang's meaning, and expressionlessly dispelled the latter's sudden fantasy.

"Don't overthink it. While your talent is certainly amazing, it's not unique. It's not something I would stoop to recruit multiple times."

For some reason, Liu Qingyang felt relieved after being doused with cold water.

"Then... why is that?"

If it's not a talent, then what makes me special?

Xiao Han remained silent on this matter, only asking,

"You'll understand that later; just answer me now."

Having said that, Liu Qingyang did not hesitate.

"Since you are so kind as to offer your high regard, I will respectfully accept your offer."
