A storm was brewing

Their divine senses instantly shattered. They spat blood and flew backward, slamming hard into the wall.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft-"

The three old men spewed blood wildly, their faces deathly pale as they scrambled to their feet in terror. Trembling, they said, "It... it's that... that person's voice..." Intense fear filled their eyes. Their minds were almost on the verge of collapse, and their bodies shook violently beyond their control.

That was a legend! An invincible legend! Generation after generation of experts had died at that legend's hands. That legend had even reached the pinnacle in a single step, looking down upon all the mighty!

"Do not mention this again. Third Brother! Notify the current pavilion master at once. Befriend that youth at any cost, and never make an enemy of him," an aged voice rang out.

"Yes! Eldest Brother!" The blue-robed old man trembled all over as he sent out a divine thought.

With that, the incident in the Heavenly Moon Dao Domain stirred towering waves throughout the Canglan Immortal Domain. Countless people discussed it feverishly, and countless powers investigated the mysterious youth's identity...

"Who exactly is this youth? How can he be so heaven-defying?"

"They say that whenever this youth makes a move, he can sweep through an entire domain..."

"Seriously...?"

"I also heard this youth has three heads and six arms, a hideous face, and an extremely savage nature."

"Nonsense. How come I never heard that...?"

"Your news is outdated. The latest news is that the mysterious youth is a pervert who's neither man nor woman. I heard he eats nothing but children." "What? That's way too terrifying! Fuck..."

"Whatever the case, I can't afford to provoke him. I absolutely must not offend this mysterious youth..."

The Canglan Immortal Domain was boiling! Countless people were abuzz with discussion.

Reports of these discussions soon reached some secluded lineages and superpowers, but they remained outwardly unmoved. To them, this youth posed no danger for the time being.

Moreover, these powers had already begun to vaguely guess the mysterious youth's origins...

Meanwhile, several uninvited guests sat in the Sword Sect's main hall. They were none other than important figures from the Holy Palace and the Chaos Holy Land.

"Brother Jian, I know that youth is staying here as a guest. Could your sect invite him out for a brief discussion?" the Holy Palace's third elder asked, cupping his hands.

"He's in seclusion. I'm afraid it isn't convenient," the Sword School's sect master said with a frown.

"Brother Jian, rest assured. We won't interfere with the youth's freedom. We merely wish to chat with him..." the Chaos Holy Land's second elder said with a genial smile.

"I wouldn't dare disturb him. If you can withstand that power's wrath, go call him yourselves." The Sword School's sect master shook his head and pointed upward.

The Holy Palace's third elder and the Chaos Holy Land's second elder both knitted their brows tightly at his words.

They were no fools and naturally understood what he meant. This youth was no ordinary figure. His background was immense.

"Then we'll take our leave, Brother Jian." The Holy Palace's third elder and the Chaos Holy Land's second elder cupped their hands toward the Sword School's sect master, then slowly left the hall. Their expressions shifted uncertainly, and they were clearly extremely frustrated.

"He's actually from an ancient clan... It seems ordinary methods won't work to win that youth over."

Outside the hall, the two sighed. They had to inform their sects of this and see what could be done to win the youth over...

"Hahaha! Those two sneaky bastards thought they could fish for information? Hmph, ancient clans? Even ancient clans have to call the forbidden zone Daddy." The Sword Sect's sect master sneered.

Inside the Heavenly Moon Dao Domain's Domain Lord's Manor...

Ten experts exuding towering presences sat in the manor. Apart from Li Xinghe, the other nine were the highest authorities of the other Dao Domains.

"Li Xinghe, you're a disgrace as a manor lord. You actually let some wet-behind-the-ears brat climb onto your neck to shit and piss?" another domain lord said contemptuously. This man was the domain lord of the Cangnan Dao Domain. His cultivation had reached the half-emperor realm, and the presence he exuded seemed even stronger than Li Xinghe's.

"Well... well..."

Li Xinghe's face flushed red, but he could not utter a single word.

"That youth is no simple character..." Li Xinghe said with a bitter smile.

"Hmm?" The other eight domain lords looked surprised.

"Although his cultivation is at the great saint level, his combat strength can only be called heaven-defying. You must have sensed that battle too," Li Xinghe said.

Everyone nodded.

"Especially that final move. I believe no one below peak quasi-emperor could withstand it..." Li Xinghe continued.

Hiss-

Everyone drew a sharp breath, unable to help feeling a chill down their spines.

"No one below quasi-emperor could withstand it? Doesn't that mean this youth already has the strength to match a half-emperor?"

"I imagine you all saw it too. Not only does that youth have the strength to match a half-emperor, but he also has an old man at peak quasi-emperor following at his side..." After Li Xinghe finished, everyone fell silent...

A long while later...

"Li Xinghe, what background does that mysterious youth have?" the domain lord of the Cangnan Dao Domain asked.

"I couldn't find anything. It's as though he appeared out of thin air." Li Xinghe shook his head.

"Could he be from those ancient powers that have remained hidden for countless epochs?" A domain lord then pointed upward as he spoke. If that youth was from one of those mysterious ancient clans, it would make sense for a quasi-emperor expert to accompany him...

Ancient clans? Everyone's hearts shook violently at those words.

What sort of existences were the ancient clans? Who among those present had not weathered winds and waves? Yet they were still filled with awe toward the ancient clans.

The terror of the ancient clans had been renowned in ancient times. Back then, all races fought for supremacy, and those few ancient clans had been the undisputed overlords. Over countless epochs, who knew how many powerful races they had wiped out?

The terror of the ancient clans manifested not only outside their clans. Within their clans, they also nurtured one monstrous genius after another, and whenever large-scale battles broke out in the Immortal Domain, traces of the ancient clans could always be found...

During those years, the ancient clans were existences that struck terror into every race and inspired the utmost wariness.

"That youth will make a comeback. When the time comes, I may have to trouble you domain lords to lend a hand..." Li Xinghe said solemnly.

At these words, the nine immediately sank deep into thought.

A long time later...

"Hmph, I'd like to see just how power-

"-ful that youth really is," the domain lord of the Cangnan Dao Domain said, suddenly rising to his feet.

Everyone was slightly taken aback at his words. The domain lord of the Cangnan Dao Domain had actually agreed? He was going to help?

"Tch, who doesn't have some backing?" the Cangnan domain lord said disdainfully.

"Then many thanks, Brother Cangnan." Li Xinghe hurriedly cupped his hands, a faint smile at the corners of his mouth.

Naturally, it would be all the better if the other domain lords could help too.

"Hehe... Of course, of course..." the other domain lords said with smiles.
