Boundless Realm.
It was once the strongest realm in the Low-Latitude Realm, and although it is still nominally the strongest now, the top powers understand that they can never cross the mountain of the Wilderness Realm.
There is no other reason.
Ye Qiubai and his group emerged from the Wilderness Realm.
In the Boundless Dynasty, within the main hall of the imperial palace, the Imperial Advisor was reporting to Mu Zhengting, who sat high on the throne.
"Your Majesty, the seventh batch of supplies has been delivered to the Ancient Battlefield."
Mu Zhengting looked at the list of supplies on the scroll and nodded slightly. "Let's prepare the next batch."
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Advisor smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, this seventh batch has already depleted the royal treasury. If we send more to the Ancient Battlefield, our national treasury will likely be completely emptied."
Mu Zhengting closed the scroll, smiled, and said, "Grand Preceptor, you must understand one thing: if the Mortal Realm is breached, what use will these resources be to us? Only by surviving can we have a future."
"But the resources we send out aren't having a significant impact on the front lines..."
"It's not a big deal." Mu Zhengting stood up, and Yao Yao looked at the sky outside the hall, saying softly, "But it's good to be able to do our part, however small. If every force thinks like this, then the Mortal Realm will truly have no hope."
At this moment, three figures suddenly appeared silently in the palace.
Mu Zhengting and the Imperial Preceptor were taken aback, then overjoyed.
" Fusheng? What brings you here?!" Mu Zhengting quickly walked up to Mu Fusheng.
The visitors were Mu Fusheng, Xiao Hei, and Shi Sheng.
"Shouldn't you be fighting on the front lines right now?"
Mu Fusheng's expression was extremely solemn. He said, "Father, this is not the time to talk about this. Has anything unusual happened recently in the dynasty... or rather, in the entire Boundless Realm?"
Something's not right?
Seeing Mu Fusheng's solemn expression, Mu Zhengting dared not let his guard down.
After all, Mu Zhengting knew his son's temperament very well. For Mu Fusheng to show such an expression, something big must have happened.
Therefore, Mu Zhengting immediately turned to look at the Imperial Advisor standing to the side.
The Imperial Advisor shook his head and smiled wryly, "We haven't received any other information. However, the entire dynasty has been gathering resources lately, and other forces are probably doing the same. They probably haven't had time to pay attention to what's happening outside."
"What exactly happened?" Mu Zhengting looked at Mu Fusheng.
Mu Fusheng had no choice but to recount the whole story.
Mu Zhengting shook his head and said, " Fusheng, you seem to have fallen into a misconception."
Misconception?
Mu Fusheng frowned.
"Since the other side intends to turn other forces against each other and dismantle the Mortal Realm from within, they must start with the forces in the High-Latitude Realm."
It can only be said that Mu Zhengting, as an emperor, must have some ideas in his mind. He continued his analysis, "If the forces in the High-Latitude Realm haven't been won over yet, then why waste energy and time trying to win over the forces in our Low-Latitude Realm?"
"That would be putting the cart before the horse and would be counterproductive."
That's right!
Mu Fusheng suddenly realized, then his brows furrowed again, and he said, "That's even worse. Since the other party may have come to the Low-Latitude Realm, if it's not for the purpose of turning them into a rebel, they're probably plotting something else."
Even powerful figures like the Yin-Yang Divine Lord, the Desolation Lord, and Xin Hongyi have arrived in the Low-Latitude Realm and are still hiding. What exactly are they planning to do?
Suddenly, Xiao Hei said, "Could it be that they want to investigate us?"
investigation?
Xiao Hei took out a map showing the traces left by the other party in various realms.
"Didn't you notice that the places they visited were all territories we had previously lingered in?"
"At the same time, I inquired about the situation in the Demon King Domain beforehand, and nothing has happened Demon King Domain. This means that the other party may be investigating something and doesn't want to alert them."
Shi Sheng, standing to the side, scratched his head and asked, "But since it's a covert investigation, would they do something that leaves too much of a trace?"
Hearing their conversation, Mu Fusheng's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Finally, he concluded in a deep voice, "They are deliberately trying to lead us to them."
This is the only possibility.
But why were they led here? What was their purpose? Mu Fusheng and his companions had no idea.
Mu Fusheng looked at Mu Zhengting and said, "Father, in any case, let's mobilize manpower to investigate those people I mentioned. Since they are leading us, they must have left some traces."
Mu Zhengting nodded, and the Imperial Advisor, seeing this, immediately went out to dispatch people.
As Mu Fusheng and the others had expected, the other party seemed to have intentionally left traces, revealing some clues in just one day.
Moreover... it's located within the territory of the Boundless Dynasty.
A purple-gold token was discovered in a small town inn.
Shi Sheng stepped forward, picked up the token, and said with a solemn expression, "It's the Purple Gold Token of the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce."
At the same time, there was a note pressed under the token.
There were a few words written on it.
"Now that we've caught up, let's head straight to the starting point."
The starting point?
Mu Fusheng said, "It seems we need to return to the Wilderness Realm."
Filled with doubt and apprehension, Mu Fusheng and his companions immediately set off for the Wilderness Realm.
The moment they arrived in the Wilderness Realm, a strong aura immediately attracted their attention.
That area belongs to the territory of the Central Region.
Upon arriving above a dense forest in the Central Region, a large amount of black energy began to rise.
When Xiao Hei sensed this Dark Demon energy, its pupils suddenly contracted.
This Dark Demon energy seems to bear a striking resemblance to his aura!
It should be noted that in the Demon King Domain, although every cultivator possesses demonic energy due to their bloodline, Xiao Hei's bloodline is special, and the Dark Demon energy he cultivates is naturally quite different from that of others!
"This... is where Master found me," Xiao Hei said in a deep voice.
Mu Fusheng and Shi Sheng exchanged a glance.
It seems their purpose is related to Xiao Hei.
When the three landed in the area emanating Dark Demon energy, they were already surrounded by high-ranking figures from the Wilderness Realm.
This included Qin Tiannan, Jian Chaomian of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect Jian Chaomian, and Liang Feng...
Before them lay some fragments of black stone.
Xiao Hei stepped forward, bent down, and picked up a long-standing fragment of black stone from the ground. After the Heavenly Devil Disintegration disintegrated and was reborn, he had been sealed within this black stone...
Upon seeing Mu Fusheng and his two companions, Qin Tiannan and the others were slightly taken aback.
Just as I was about to step forward and ask...
A charming woman in a purple cheongsam walked out gracefully.
Upon seeing this person, Shi Sheng's expression changed slightly, "Miss Zi Shan Robe..."
This person was the chief auctioneer they had met at the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce auction in the Mid-Latitude Realm!
The man in Zi Shan robes wore a complex expression. He bowed slightly to Shi Sheng and the other two, saying, "Follow me if you don't want the Wilderness Realm to be engulfed in war."
