Outside the capital city of Da Yue Country, a figure approached silently and slowly, blending into the clouds as if becoming one with them. Even Emperor Da Yue remained unaware of the newcomer’s arrival.

Because Immortal Heavenly Venerables merge with Domain, having the ability to control a section of Domain Power, it is very difficult for one Immortal Heavenly Venerable to conceal themselves from another.

Let alone to enter the domain controlled by another Immortal Heavenly Venerable without making a sound.

And yet, someone had achieved this!

“Quite interesting.”

Updated by ℕ○vG○.c○

Li Xuan was somewhat surprised, the mastermind behind Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow was worthy of being controlled by powers stronger than Immortal Heavenly Venerables.

The person within the clouds was an Immortal Heavenly Venerable, weaker than Emperor Da Yue, but slightly stronger than Sui Hongwu.

Among Immortal Heavenly Venerables, not the finest, but certainly not the weakest.

A gloomy mask adorned their face, carved with seven leaves.

“Seven-leaf Heavenly Slaughter? No, that’s not right. Little Ha mentioned Heavenly Slaughter wore a Ferocious Mask, not a gloomy one.”

His gaze settled on the black robe worn by the figure, which had a hint of Dao Rhythm swirling around it.

It was indeed this very feature that isolated the figure from Domain Power, allowing them to go unnoticed by the Immortal Heavenly Venerable controlling that part of the Domain.

“Such a robe cannot be crafted by an Immortal Heavenly Venerable—it must envelop a shred of Dao Rhythm to suffice.”

Li Xuan was certain the robe had to be crafted by the mastermind behind Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow and bestowed upon their agents for their missions.

Besides the robe, this Immortal Heavenly Venerable was also extremely adept at the art of stealth.

The assailant, like a cloud, remained hidden within them, drifting over the skies of the Capital City of Da Yue, scouting about before fixing their gaze on the Qimen Institute and the Alchemical Medical Institute.

The figure did not strike, instead waiting quietly, as if for the right moment.

“If they were to get close to the Da Yue Imperial Palace, even with the robe to shield them, they could not hide from Emperor Da Yue. However, within this distance, without the intervention of an Immortal Heavenly Venerable, a single strike could kill everyone in the Alchemical Medical Institute and Qimen Institute.”

Li Xuan watched with interest in silence.

Then, looking up at the Firmament, he murmured, “The person behind this, likely not in the Divine Realm, I wonder how their strength compares to mine now?”

With a cold laugh, “Although I’m just in the Void-breaking Realm, even if I am not above Immortal status yet, I might not be outmatched.”

Dare to target his apprentice, once his strength increased, he would let the meddler know the consequences of messing with someone of higher power!

“Eh, this Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow is quite insidious.”

Li Xuan’s brow raised suddenly.

An Immortal Heavenly Venerable had come to visit Emperor Da Yue, hailing from the Nine Mountain Realm, seemingly with grave news.

Feng Yan raised his eyebrows in disbelief, “What does Ping Qiu from Broken Dawn Mountain want, has something happened?”

Broken Dawn Mountain was one of the Nine Mountains within the Nine Mountain Realm, and Ping Qiu was its Immortal Heavenly Venerable.

“Should we go and see?”

Feng Yan was curious.

“No, we can’t leave!”

Taking a deep breath, he curbed his curiosity, continuing to stand guard.

“Brother Ping Qiu, what brings you here?”

Emperor Da Yue received Ping Qiu.

“Emperor Da Yue, something big has happened.”

Ping Qiu’s face was grave.

Emperor Da Yue asked with curiosity, “What big event has occurred? Is it a disturbance in Heavenly Grotto within the Nine Mountain Realm that requires support?”

“Not concerning Heavenly Grotto.”

With a deep breath, Ping Qiu said with a grave expression, “Emperor Da Yue, have you heard of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow?”

Emperor Da Yue looked puzzled, “Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow? I have not heard of it.”

“I’ve received word from Broken Dawn Mountain that this force, Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, intends to incite conflict amongst the Nine Mountains Realm. There’s even a nefarious scheme to stir trouble in the Qinghua state…”

Ping Qiu shared the plans of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, corroborating highly with the information brought back by Little Ha, containing details even Little Ha was unaware of.

Emperor Da Yue was shocked, “Is this true?”

“Absolutely!”

Ping Qiu’s face turned grave and he divulged another piece of news that shook even Emperor Da Yue.

“Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow seems to have secretly made a pact with Heavenly Grotto, and the Heavenly Grotto of the Nine Mountain Realm has ceased its turmoil; even some foreign enemies have withdrawn from the Grotto.

“Moreover, Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow will soon cause a major disturbance in the Divine Realm.”

Now, Emperor Da Yue became truly unsettled.

Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow colluding with Heavenly Grotto—could it be they were planning an inside-out strategy, using external forces to achieve Unity of Domain?

With the arrival of Ping Qiu, and the news he brought, a cohort of Immortal Heavenly Venerables were astounded. After informing Emperor Da Yue, Ping Qiu quickly departed for Tianwu Sect and Myriad Thunder Sect.

“This Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, they do not care if their plans are known; they have one objective: to incite chaos in the Divine Realm.

“Whether it’s through mutual slaughter or the joint campaign against Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow…”

Li Xuan inwardly lamented, these members of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow were fanatics.

For the so-called Unity of Domain, for the restoration of Domain’s glory, they were somewhat mad.

“Is it not yet time? What moment are they waiting for to make their move?”

Li Xuan gazed toward the shadow hidden in the clouds.

Several days later, Ping Qiu returned, coming from Myriad Thunder Sect.

His series of actions dispelled the suspicions Emperor Da Yue and others had about him, believing he had indeed come to share intelligence.

“Indeed quite clever.”

Li Xuan nodded, his curiosity piqued, wondering how these two would make their move.

Two Immortal Heavenly Venerables, one deeply hidden—one overt and one covert. Could it be they were targeting him, preparing to assassinate him?
