?In the Sky Cloud Realm, Tian Huang and Bu Tianbeng are in the mist forest looking for Huang Gai’s whereabouts. However, they were unable to locate him, leading them to believe that the beasts had devoured him, especially since he had been trapped there for a week.

In the end, they decided to return, but Tian Huang suddenly got two voice transmissions as soon as they left, and his expression changed slightly after he listened to them. “Ao Yangyu and Zhuang Yuan just sent me a message, and their spies in the Earth Cloud Realm told them that the heretics have started to move, and they will definitely attack this realm directly.”

“In that case, we have to immediately spread this news to others, or else we will be too late to anticipate them.” Tian Huang nodded in agreement and immediately sent a message to all the clans and sects in their realm, while Bu Tianbeng also took out a device that allowed him to communicate across realms. “Unfortunately, Tang Chen hasn’t returned from the supreme realm, or else he could defeat them easily. Besides, Jiange Xiuxi is also not in this realm now, so we have to fight to block the invasion of the heretics by ourselves.”

Tian Huang nodded to him. “After all, we are cultivators, and our lives are our own responsibility, so we can’t depend on them for our future. Moreover, they have all been preparing to fight with those heretics for quite some time, so I’m sure we can defeat them, especially since Hundun is still in seclusion and will not participate in this war.”

Bu Tianbeng let out a sigh of relief after he heard that, especially since he had already gotten the report from his daughter about Tang Chen’s fight with Hundun some time ago, and he was sure that they wouldn’t be able to defeat him with their current strength. “Who do you think we should be most wary of?”

“Gu Tianchong is the strongest among them, so I will fight him myself.” Tian Huang then pondered for a while before continuing. “However, we also have to be wary of the Xin, Gui, and Mo Clans. Considering the presence of Mo Guai, Xin Ping, and Gui Xian, it’s crucial to avoid any unexpected encounters that could potentially weaken us, especially since they were no less strong than him.”

“Yeah, I agree with you.” Bu Tianbeng then turned to Tian Huang and inquired. “What about the people in the northern region? Should we send more people there to protect them?”

Tian Huang raised his eyebrows for a moment before shaking his head at him. “Meng Xianzi and the two women from Misty Manor are with them now, and the female elf has yet to return to her realm. Besides, that area is also covered by quite a strong formation, so not many cultivators can break through there, so I think all that is enough to protect them.”

“Well, that’s true.” Bu Tianbeng replied with a nod of approval. “Moreover, people from other realms don’t know about them, and they always think that the northern region is empty, so they shouldn’t target that area.”

After they discussed several other things, the two men left the area and returned to their clan, where they alerted their clan members to prepare to face the invaders. Not only them, but all the clans, sects, and residents of that realm also prepared themselves after receiving the information from Tian Huang.

Meanwhile, several people had gathered in Tian Ya’s room, who was explaining to them the information from Tian Huang, and their expressions looked worried after hearing about the movements of the heretics.

“What do you think of our chances, Sect Master?” Old Wen asked him.

Tian Ya released a heavy sigh and shook his head at him. “I don’t dare say for sure how big our chances are of winning this war, and we just need to fight with all our strength to fight them back. However, this war will bring great changes to our realm, whether we win or lose; the changes will be terrible if we lose this war.”

“Sect master, I will return to my Kang Clan first, especially since my brother needs help coordinating my clan members.” After Tian Yan nodded to him, Kang Ming hurriedly left the room before leaving their sect, and several other elders also followed him.

Suddenly, a guard informed Tian Ya of the presence of two people, so he and Old Wen immediately checked outside, but they were not surprised by their arrival.

“Old Wen, we’ve locked up Kong Tianhe for two weeks, so you can bring him here now, especially since they seem to want to take him home.” After that, Tian Ya immediately invited two guests to enter. “Zhuge Yang, I didn’t expect that you would accompany your sister here.”

“Haha.” Zhuge Yang laughed and sat down in front of Tian Ya, but he glanced at Zhuge Lingyan, who looked furious, even though she didn’t say a word. “Brother Ya, she is my sister, and Kong Tianhe is my nephew, so I had to come here to request leniency for her. I knew that he was guilty of attacking one of the elders of this sect, but you had already punished him for two weeks, so I think that’s enough to make up for his mistakes, right?”

Tian Ya responded with a nod. “Don’t worry, I’ve ordered Old Wen to bring Kong Tianhe here, and you can take him away if your sister so wishes.”

“That’s good.” Zhuge Yang felt relieved after hearing that, so he didn’t need to bother arguing with Tian Ya. “Anyway, I heard that Lingzhi and Nichang joined the sect, and Ye Zhong missed those two little girls so much, so I wonder about their current situation?”

“They are fine, and they live together with several other disciples in a special place. Besides, several good items have helped them break through in their cultivation again, so you can tell Ye Zhong not to worry about them.” Tian Ya then turned to inquire about his plans. “What about your sect’s preparations? Have you started moving to secure those young cultivators? They are still too young now, and the future of this realm lies on their shoulders, so we can’t let them participate in the upcoming war.”

“That’s for sure!” Zhuge Yang answered with a nod. “Ever since Tian Huang informed us about it some time ago, Sect Master Shaojie has ordered us to prepare those secret passages, and we have also gathered a lot of food reserves inside there, which will last for several years. That way, if the heretics attack our sect, those young cultivators can immediately escape, and they will be safe in there.”

After hearing that, Tian Ya nodded in satisfaction, but Old Wen suddenly appeared carrying Kong Tianhe, who appeared very pale, especially considering his prolonged confinement in the dungeon.

“Tianhe!” Zhuge Lingyan immediately shouted and grabbed his son from Old Wen, and he observed his body up and down before he shouted angrily at Tian Ya. “You are such a barbarian! You treated my son so cruelly!”

After hearing that, Tian Ya immediately released his aura, causing Zhuge Lingyan to fall to the ground. Kong Tianhe immediately turned around and begged him. “Sect master, please don’t hurt my mother. She is acting like this because of me, so I beg you to withdraw your aura.”

However, Tian Ya did not listen to Kong Tianhe’s pleas and pressed even harder on Zhuge Lingyan, causing blood to drip out from the corners of her lips. “This is my first and last warning, and I will no longer tolerate your insolence while you are in the sect. According to my sect’s rules, I should have crippled and expelled your son after he attacked an elder. However, I still consider my good relationship with Kong Ming, so I decided to spare him. Unfortunately, your behavior today makes me change my mind, and as punishment for your behavior, I will expel him from my sect, and I’ll order my guards to cripple both of you if you cause trouble here again.”

After he said that, Tian Ya immediately withdrew his aura, and Kong Tianhe helped his mother up before speaking to him. “Thank you, Sect Master. I realize that I made a mistake by attacking Elder Chuqing, and I will accept your punishment of being expelled from this sect.”

After that, Kong Tianhe took his mother out of the room, but Zhuge Lingyang’s character was indeed too arrogant, and she continued to look at Tian Ya with a look full of hostility.

“Thank you for your mercy, Brother Ya.” Zhuge Yang then stood up. “Since everything is settled, I’ll take my leave to return to my sect, especially since we still have to prepare some other things.”

Tian Ya immediately turned to Old Wen. “You can send someone to monitor Zhuge Lingyan, and you can also order that person to kill her if she shows any suspicious activity.”

“Do you think Zhuge Lingyan will really do such a thing?”

“Yeah.” Tian Ya then got up from his chair and walked to the window. “Zhuge Lingyan is a vengeful person, so I’m sure that she won’t stop here, and she might take extreme measures to take revenge on me.”

“All right, I will send someone to monitor her.”
