Yang Sheng is dead.But his achievements will be remembered by posterity.His tombstone will be erected where he died, forever standing on the mountainside of Leiju, overlooking the myriad lights he protected.His death also awakened the will of many who had fallen into despair.The rebel army was gathering, and the volunteer army was also converging.Ming Suzhi was in a state of rage, wishing he could tear Ming Ze alive!"What on earth is in your head!?""Why did this happen!?""You sent out the coordinates of the Cang Clan's reinforcements, and then you just left them to their own devices?! Let them gather on their own!?""You didn't even give them a slave seal???" Ming Ze knelt before Ming Suzhi, trembling all over, cold sweat pouring down his face.He was both shocked and furious."M-My lord, I truly never expected that ant would dare defy my will!""He was incredibly respectful, completely cooperative from beginning to end.""So I...I didn't think much of it."By the end, Mingze's lips were trembling.Ming Suzhi lost several strands of hair from the shock, slumped back into his seat, and took several deep breaths to recover."From this day forward, anyone who submits must bear the slave mark!"As soon as he finished speaking, Ming Suzhi saw a person with murderous intent suddenly appear within his divine domain."Get lost!" Ming Suzhi kicked Mingze away, then flashed a fawning smile at the uninvited guest."Third Elder, what brings you here?"A question he already knew the answer to.If looks could kill, Cang Yunhu, the Third Elder of the Cang Clan, would have already killed Ming Suzhi.Half an hour ago, he received news of Po Chen's death.The Cang Clan swiftly mobilized a special forces team from the Upper Three Realms, totaling over two hundred members.Small in number, but all young, they were the future backbone of the Cang Clan.This operation was a piece of cake for that team.But who could have imagined that they wouldn't even see Li An before being wiped out by a mere mortal at the eleventh level of the Heavenly Realm!However, no matter how furious Cang Yunhu or the Cang Clan were, they could only swallow their anger.No matter how incompetent Ming Suzhi was, he was still royalty.He and his foolish subordinate Ming Ze shared the surname Ming!Those with the surname Cang, even those holding high positions, could never lay a hand on those with the surname Ming.Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger.If the Cang Clan dared to touch anyone from the Ming Clan, it would be, to put it bluntly, a crime of deceiving the emperor.This was the rule of the Heavenly World.Surname is above all else."Governor Ming, from this moment forward, all operations against Li An will be under my command. You must obey my orders unconditionally."With that, Cang Yunhu produced the King's edict.Ming Suzhi dared not utter a word.The Cang family couldn't touch him, the Ming family.But the King could.The repeated failures of this operation were a disgrace.Ming Suzhi's mind was filled with thoughts of how to explain things upon returning, preferably by currying favor with the Third Elder. If the elder was willing to speak on his behalf, there might still be a way out.Therefore, he treated Cang Yunhu with the utmost courtesy.Cang Yunhu's face was ashen. Without wasting words, he immediately completed the handover of duties.All the current information about Li An—his location, what he was doing, and how many troops he commanded.Everything was now clear to Cang Yunhu.He took a sip of water, suppressing his anger, his expression becoming remarkably calm.Although he was only the Third Elder, ranking third among the older generation of the Cang Clan, his role in the war was greater than that of the other elders.Because he was a sorcerer.After understanding the situation, Cang Yunhu ordered Zhou Shu to hold back."No matter what happens, do not launch an attack on Li An."Upon receiving the order, Zhou Shu nodded immediately.Cang Yunhu, however, began to carefully consider some matters.He was currently reviewing a more important document.A list of experts in the Alliance at the sixth level of the Dao Fruit Realm and above!The sixth level was equivalent to the Upper God Realm.Each of these individuals possessed the ability to change the course of events.For example, Shen Ji, who had made repeated attacks.If he couldn't contain this guy,things would be quite troublesome.Besides Shen Ji, there were several others who also deserved close attention.He needed to find a way to contain them all.The simplest way was to directly recruit from above.But this was also the most dangerous method.Both the Cang and Ming clans harbored a thorn in their side.This thorn was named Zhuge Tianming.A celestial path was needed to descend from the heavens.Zhuge Tianming was undoubtedly searching for that celestial path.Once he found it and destroyed it, all those who had descended to the mortal realm, including himself, would be doomed.They lacked the strength to build a celestial path from the bottom up.If the path was cut off, they would be trapped like turtles in a barrel.Therefore, every troop deployment was extremely dangerous. The more and stronger the troops deployed, the more pronounced the energy fluctuations would be, and the greater the chance of the celestial path being exposed.Their greatest advantage now was their covert presence.The enemy had no idea when the celestial path had opened, nor how many divine realm beings had descended.The number was unknown.The best approach was to bluff!The bold get rich, the timid starve.But before bluffing, they needed to send one person down.Just one, specifically to keep an eye on Shen Ji! Ultimately, Cang Yunhu decided on his battle strategy and continued to send reinforcements.He glanced at the incompetent Ming Suzhi. Though resentful, he had to admit this was a good opportunity to manipulate Ming Suzhi.The man was already dead; to make things worse out of anger was not the act of a wise man.From now on, Ming Suzhi belonged to our Cang Clan.Soon, reinforcements were sent.A young general from the Cang Clan, possessing the ninth level of the Heavenly Dao Fruit but not yet a god, was named Cang Hu.Although Cang Hu's cultivation level was inferior to Shen Ji's, his life rank was significant, and wearing him down shouldn't be difficult."Third Elder, how should I lure Shen Ji out?""Kill him, massacre the city," Cang Yunhu said indifferently.This was the best way to bluff!"Which city?" Cang Hu asked expressionlessly.Cang Yunhu took out a star map of the Hezong Alliance and pointed to the territory under Leiju's jurisdiction.“This city.” The city at the foot of Mount Leiju.The place Yang Sheng wanted to protect.Anyone who descends from the celestial realm possesses an innate arrogance.In their eyes, the so-called heavens are nothing but a speck of dust, and the life within them is but a mayfly.Killing anyone is acceptable.Slaughtering any city makes no difference.That was how it should be, until Yang Sheng appeared.His actions were like a thorn, light, but impossible to ignore.Cang Yunhu knew why he did this.He also knew he was dead, and that revenge would be futile.But he still did it!No one could protect this world!Finally, he earnestly said to Cang Hu, “There’s a net here, remember to act quickly!”
