Is There Anything to Apologize or Give Thanks For?

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

The high-ranking official exclaimed in a low voice, and as soon as he finished speaking, he ignored Yu Chang and the others present and rushed frantically towards the location where the clan's resources were stored.

In mid-air, Yu Chang and the others watched this scene with complex expressions, as well as a sense of disappointment and frustration.

"Another one! Why are you always one step too slow!"

A powerful figure from the Five Continents Domain gritted his teeth and spoke out. Upon hearing this, another powerful figure sighed and said:

"We found out as soon as we arrived that the forces on the Azure Billows Continent have become outwardly strong but inwardly weak due to the gods' command. I guess the other hostile forces on the Azure Billows Continent probably know this too, and they made their move before we did."

"Should we go to the next place and take a look? So many places, each one completely robbed. It's like the work of a powerful force!"

"Going to other forces will likely yield similar results," a powerful figure said, looking at Yu Chang.

"Senior, what's your opinion on this matter?"

Yu Chang didn't speak, but a thoughtful look appeared between her brows.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of uncertainty in them:

"Could this be... a diversionary tactic?"

Upon realizing this, Yu Chang suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

"That's right. I came to his domain through connections precisely because of the resources of the Five Continents Domain. This is a loss for Domain Master Du. How could he be so kind as to help me? The reason he hasn't done anything to me but instead asked me for help is probably because he's currently unable to do anything directly due to the current situation, so he can only do this."

Immediately, Yu Chang turned around:

"Walk!"

"Where to?" The powerful figures from the Five Continents Domain were puzzled.

Yu Chang's figure had vanished, leaving only a distant, lingering voice:

"Return to the Five Continents Domain!"

The Five Continents Domain.

Yu Chang, who was rushing around, suddenly stopped.

His eyes were fixed on a certain spot, and then he headed straight there.

A dozen or so breaths later, Yu Chang stopped in mid-air, watching the scene in the void ahead gradually disappear.

"This is..."

A hint of uncertainty flashed across Yu Chang's face.

The next moment, as if he had confirmed something, his expression suddenly froze:

"The Battle of Immortality... the battlefield?"

"But shouldn't it be somewhere else? How did it get here?"

Yu Chang looked around, but there was no one else in sight.

Yu Yue spoke up from the side:

"Grandpa, could this also be intentional? Perhaps the previous complicated story wasn't real?"

The sound faded.

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

Yu Chang's lips twitched, then she took a deep breath, opened her mouth as if to say something, but remained silent.

After a long silence, Yu Chang waved her hand and sighed softly:

"Come on, Grandpa needs Jingjing."

This trip felt like either being schemed against or on the way to being schemed against.

There were no benefits whatsoever, but one problem after another arose.

Huge loss!

Misty Clear Realm.

Xiao Qian returned to the core area of the Withering and Flourishing Sect.

"It's confirmed. The sect leader's insight is truly astonishing. Although he didn't go, his conclusion is accurate," Xiao Qian said.

As the voice faded, a figure appeared and said:

"Tell me more?"

Xiao Qian nodded, and then recounted what he knew.

After Xiao Qian finished speaking, the figure finally spoke:

"At this age, he's only around twenty, yet he's already mastered such martial arts. The geniuses of the ancient imperial clans are still as unreasonable as ever when they get strong."

Xiao Qian nodded in deep agreement:

"Really."

At this moment, the figure changed the subject and said:

"Are there any other details?"

Xiao Qian thought for a moment and nodded:

"There is one, though."

Xiao Qian described the relevant situation, and then said:

"Judging from the words of the person behind me, this junior doesn't seem to be very clear about his own identity and background, but I can't be sure if the other party's words were just to prevent me from revealing his identity."

The figure pondered for a moment and said:

"It's not surprising that they don't know their own identity. They're arrogant and domineering, and all the major powers are trying their best to avoid such bad trends. The Liu Clan is pursuing the Emperor Road to the Emperor, so they naturally have to undergo some trials."

"However, judging from their actions, they want to keep it a secret, but they don't really want to keep it a secret."

Xiao Qian nodded and said:

"I feel the same way, but it's hard to tell what their purpose is."

If he wanted complete secrecy, he wouldn't have needed to show me the token when he first went to the Five Continents Lower Domain, nor would he have needed to send me back.

However, if it was kept completely secret, the younger generation's reaction to the claim of Aptitude of a Great Emperor suggests that they weren't entirely unaware of it.

At this moment, the figure waved his hand:

"Their goals are beyond our comprehension. A force of this caliber would tell us directly what they need us to do."

After a pause, the figure seemed to realize something and then asked:

What do you think of that junior's character?

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Qian transmitted his conclusion to the other party via telepathy.

Despite possibly being unaware of his own background, he generally had a pretty good impression of Lu Changzhi.

Besides, according to Du Sheng's description, this younger generation is both ruthless and cunning when dealing with people.

"That's good then."

The figure seemed to breathe a slight sigh of relief:

"That would make things easier for us, otherwise..."

The figure behind didn't speak.

The descendants of powerful forces, or the descendants of strong individuals, are all good to those of their level of power if they are benevolent; if they are malevolent, then they are welcome as ancestors.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

A moment later, the figure spoke again:

Is there anything I need to apologize for or thank you for?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qian's expression shifted, and he said:

"You're going in person?"

The figure nodded:

"As the sect leader, I should at least make contact."

Xiao Qian nodded and said:

"It just so happens that Vice Hall Master Luo did something inappropriate. Since the Sect Master is going, this is a good opportunity for him to apologize for it."

"Yes, I'll have someone prepare."

After the figure finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Qian:

"Go and remind them about Luo Tianyou's matter, and make sure they handle it properly according to the rules, thoroughly investigate all issues, and severely punish any violations."

After saying that, the figure disappeared from the spot.

Xiao Qian gently shook his head:

"It will weigh more than a thousand pounds."

Hidden Origin Peak.

Lu Changzhi woke up in bed and glanced at the sky:

"She was really tired; she slept for so long."

"It's getting dark, I should probably go to sleep, but I just woke up..."

After thinking about it, Lu Changzhi decided to go to sleep later.

At this moment, Lu Changzhi released his mental energy and beckoned Zhong Ming over.
