Forces Gather for a Grand Undertaking

Misty Clear Realm.

"I never imagined that you Huang Clan would think the same way we do."

Zhu Sheng's voice came from afar, causing the group of powerful members of the Huang Clan who were advancing to turn around and look.

"A trip to the Emperor's tomb will likely yield nothing."

A powerful member of the Huang Clan spoke up:

"In that case, the Liu Clan would be more practical."

Zhu Sheng smiled upon hearing this:

"That makes sense, but the Liu Clan is no ordinary group. This Misty Clear Realm is their territory. If you want to attack them here, it seems your Huang Clan came prepared."

Upon hearing this, someone glanced at the Zhu Clan and said calmly:

"Since your Zhu Clan says so, you must have some kind of response."

"No, not at all." Zhu Sheng shook his head.

"To be honest, I knew some people would come, and I'm not hiding anything; we're here to look for opportunities."

As soon as the words fell, a powerful figure from the Huang Clan chuckled:

"If you don't participate, and I don't participate, in the end, we're just entertaining the Liu Clan?"

That's not how it works.

Zhu Sheng smiled:

"This is a major event for our Mystic Yang Realm; how can we stand idly by?"

"However, I would still like to remind everyone that if you really intend to make a move, remember to secure your belongings to avoid following in the footsteps of the Shen Clan."

"That doesn't need reminding," said a powerful member of the Huang Clan.

"With the lessons of the past as a warning, how could our Huang Clan not understand?"

"Too."

Zhu Sheng nodded:

"Since we've run into each other, let's go together."

The Huang Clan didn't object much either, and in no time, the powerful figures from both sides headed straight for the Liu Clan's location.

"Yes, we've arrived."

On the peak, Lu Changzhi stretched and his thoughts returned to his External Avatar.

Opening his eyes, he saw Liu Duanyuan looking at him.

Liu Duanyuan remained silent, but Lu Changzhi was surprised to see a hint of apprehension in his eyes.

At that moment, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Could this have actually made him realize something?"

In fact, Liu Duanyuan didn't figure out anything further.

His apprehension stemmed entirely from Lu Changzhi's behavior along the way.

He was remarkably calm and composed.

It was as if the chain couldn't restrain him, and he couldn't do anything to him.

As he asked as soon as they met, with Lu Changzhi's intelligence, he should know that coming to the Withering and Flourishing Sect was not a good thing.

But it still came, as if it were so stupid as to be completely unable to push them away.

However, it is clearly not that foolish.

From this perspective, Lu Changzhi's current actions are quite peculiar.

The truth about these matters can only be revealed after their souls are dissected and their memories are obtained.

However, there is another, more pressing issue at the moment.

The forces of the Mystic Yang Realm have truly arrived.

Of course, this was expected, and they began preparing to deal with it as soon as they returned.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't need to come back.

However, some new situations have arisen.

Based on the intelligence we've gathered, it seems that more than just powerful figures from the Mystic Yang Realm are coming.

The Yue Clan and the Wu Clan will likely also come.

Normally, there is a time lag in the transmission of some information. This time lag allows things on both sides to be separated, preventing them from piling up and becoming a big problem.

In the Misty Clear Realm, the reason why the Liu Clan, Yue Clan, and Wu Clan are all strong and able to maintain relative peace and Order is that it is extremely difficult for any two of them to defeat the other two.

Moreover, the Wu Clan has little conflict with the other two sides and little willingness to join forces, making it even less likely that the two sides will join forces to deal with the other side.

But if external forces are introduced, then things might be hard to say.

These were things that the Liu Clan had been trying their best to avoid.

According to intelligence, about half an hour ago, someone set up a magic array near the Yue Clan and Wu Clan, creating an extremely noisy commotion to alert all directions.

The Liu Clan has offended a powerful enemy of the Mystic Yang Realm. As fellow forces of the Misty Clear Realm, even if they don't help, they should at least share the spoils. The benefits shouldn't all go to the Mystic Yang Realm.

Intelligence suggests that this commotion may have actually been effective.

At least, the Yue Clan is already prepared to set off under the banner of sharing weal and woe.

But they weren't truly there to share the hardships and help each other.

The Liu Clan people aren't fools either.

It's hard to say what the Wu Clan's attitude is, but having lived to this age, they all understand that their so-called neutrality is just a matter of waiting to see which way the scales tip more, so they can save themselves some effort.

This brings together the Yue Clan, the Wu Clan, and the three top forces from the Mystic Yang Realm.

With all five parties gathered, the pressure is already overwhelming.

Right now, his main purpose in returning is to use the forging array set up by the clan to replicate a chair as quickly as possible.

Without the deterrent effect of that chair, how long could the Liu Clan defend themselves once the Mystic Yang Realm experts unleash all their various weapons?

"Hand over that chair, Liu Clan, and we'll give you a chance."

Before leaving, Liu Duanyuan said to Lu Changzhi.

Lu Changzhi didn't rush to answer, but instead asked the Artifact Spirit of the Emperor Conferment Chair:

"The Liu Clan is probably planning to use the same old tricks again. What are your thoughts? Should we go for another round?"

Since the Liu Clan is taking the blame anyway, why not take the tools?

Moreover, Zhong Ming's ancestral strategy was not even complete with all the Dao Artifact.

"Is this a discussion?" the Artifact Spirit asked.

Lu Changzhi smiled:

"It seems you're not really willing."

The Artifact Spirit explained:

"Those as simple-minded as the spear Artifact Spirit are extremely rare, almost impossible to find."

"If you can't fool them, you have to use force; if you have to use force, you have to subdue them with force. It's probably difficult to repeat the same tricks."

"OK."

Lu Changzhi nodded:

"Then I won't go, I'll rest."

Having said that, he returned his mind to his External Avatar, gently shook his head, and said:

"There was only one item, which has already been handed over. How can we hand over another one?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Duanyuan said nothing more, but simply waved his hand, sealing off the area with a massive array wall before disappearing.

Yue Clan.

Clan Chief Yue Peng closed his eyes briefly, and after a moment, his expression shifted slightly. He looked at the Yue Clan experts who were already prepared and said:

"The news is indeed true. The powerful figures from the Mystic Yang Realm are already on their way to the Liu Clan and will arrive within half an hour at the latest."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding powerful figures were all shaken.

Some even showed obvious excitement on their faces, rubbing their hands together in anticipation.

"It seems that the glorious opportunity for my Yue Clan is about to arrive."

Upon hearing this, even more people smiled.

Sometimes, strength doesn't necessarily come from one's own efforts.

"Set off, and get to the Liu Clan as soon as possible."

Yue Peng waved his hand and simultaneously reminded him:

"To minimize any misunderstandings among ordinary cultivators in the Misty Clear Realm, we must make sure to offer substantial assistance on this trip."

"But don't forget, you must put in enough effort when dealing with the Liu Clan!"
