Who is the fisherman?

Things had already spiraled out of control.

Even the other Mansion Lords couldn't sit still anymore.

Who was the Palace Master?

Someone personally certified by the Old Ancestor.

The ruler of the entire Sacred Palace.

Now, she was taking action personally.

One must know that as long as they were still alive, there was no reason for the Palace Master to step in.

The Palace Master taking action sent a bad signal.

It meant their lineages were so busy fighting for power and profit that they no longer respected the Sacred Lord.

If the Old Ancestor were to emerge from the Ancestral Land...

*Hiss!*

At that thought, cold sweat broke out on them.

"Palace Master, there's no need for you to act. We aren't dead yet."

The most panicked were the Venerable Lineage, the Elder Lineage, and the Chonghua Lineage.

Just moments ago, the three of them were still putting on an act.

Now, everything was in complete chaos.

People from the three lineages hurriedly stood up and chased after the Palace Master.

The other lineages weren't calm either.

After all, they were all members of the Sacred Palace.

Even though Chonghua was the one who started the chaos.

And bore the primary responsibility.

But now, the areas they were responsible for had also begun to descend into chaos.

One by one, they stood up and chased after the Palace Master.

Previously, the Sacred Lord never interfered in anything.

To put it bluntly.

They hadn't really respected this Sacred Lord before.

They could easily feign compliance while secretly defying her.

Who knew she had been holding back something this big.

If things went wrong, the Old Ancestor might deal with all of them together.

No one dared to linger.

They arrived at the place where the Palace Master lived.

Feeling the Aura that had vanished.

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

*Buzz... buzz... buzz...*

Just at that moment.

A faint Phantom Image appeared.

When they saw this Phantom Image.

Everyone present turned pale.

They all knelt down.

"Greetings, Fifth Ancestor."

The Phantom Image didn't speak, looking at them with cold eyes.

An invisible Aura weighed down upon them.

"The Sacred Palace won't fall into chaos just because it's missing a few people like you!"

These indifferent words came from the Fifth Ancestor's mouth.

Everyone present broke into a cold sweat.

Fear filled their hearts.

The Palace Master's move was too ruthless.

They thought the Sacred Lord was simple-minded, only focused on Cultivating and teaching Disciples.

It turned out they had been lulled into a false sense of security by her.

She had always known she couldn't break into the various lineages.

So she simply didn't act and didn't care about their little schemes.

She had been waiting for an opportunity.

Now that the opportunity had finally appeared.

Even if this matter was resolved.

The landscape of the Sacred Palace would likely change.

"Old Ancestor, we were wrong. We will personally go and resolve the chaos right now."

The Fifth Ancestor snorted coldly, and the Phantom Image vanished.

Those present stood up.

Their throats bobbed as they swallowed hard.

When the Old Ancestor appeared just now.

They felt as if their heads were about to roll.

Fortunately, they reacted quickly.

"I really am a clever one."

Otherwise, I'd be dead.

But thinking that they would still be punished once the matter was resolved.

Their moods became heavy again.

The others looked at Chonghua.

Their eyes were unfriendly.

Chonghua didn't care.

If it weren't for today's situation, they would have faced punishment anyway.

Now, everyone had been dragged down with him.

"I'll go resolve the chaos in Chonghua Mansion first. Goodbye, everyone."

Chonghua tore through the Void Realm and vanished.

Everyone sighed as they watched Chonghua leave.

They hadn't expected to be completely dragged down this time.

"From now on, if anyone says that boor Chonghua has no brains, I'll rip their skull open."

Nanshan spoke up.

Eastern Rain looked at everyone: "Everyone, I must leave as well. My Dongyu Mansion is adjacent to Chonghua Mansion, and my subordinates report that chaos has started there too."

Before long, several Mansion Lords had left.

The Venerable Lineage and the Elder Lineage were in a bad mood.

They hadn't been invited to go this time.

They suddenly felt a bit redundant.

If they didn't do something, they might face a reckoning after the matter ended.

That was not the outcome they wanted.

The two of them looked at each other.

Each returned to their respective palaces.

They began to summon their subordinates to help.

And explicitly stated to be polite to the Disciples of other mansions.

Otherwise, don't blame them for being heartless.

The Palace Master, who had already left, arrived at Chonghua Mansion.

She had only taken a few steps.

Chonghua appeared before the Palace Master.

"Greetings, Sacred Lord."

The Palace Master nodded and looked at Chonghua: "You did well. I will remember your contribution this time."

Hearing this, Chonghua hurriedly lowered his head and cupped his hands: "As long as the Palace Master does not punish me, I am already immensely grateful. Causing the Palace Master worry was my fault as a subordinate."

The Palace Master looked at Chonghua: "Go and do your work first!"

Chonghua nodded and left.

The Palace Master took a deep breath.

The previous Palace Master's power had been usurped.

As the previous Divine Lady, she had taken this position out of necessity.

These people turned a blind eye to her orders.

The power of the Sacred Palace had long been fragmented.

When the chaos broke out in Chonghua Mansion, she knew the opportunity had come.

An opportunity for change.

She knew the other mansions wouldn't handle these matters.

In their perception, any rebellion, no matter how large, could be suppressed.

Chonghua Mansion was the first to fall into chaos and was set to be punished.

So she secretly allied with Chonghua, promising to overlook his faults.

He only needed to cooperate and put on an act.

Which led to today's situation.

She took action personally, thereby forcing the others to act.

At the same time, she let the Old Ancestor give these people a warning.

Once this matter was over, she could naturally deal with one group and win over another.

The power of the Sacred Palace would soon return to her hands.

The Palace Master's figure flickered repeatedly.

She had vanished.

At this moment, Chu Xinghe.

Was standing in a stone cave.

Looking at the things carved on the stone walls.

There was also a corpse inside.

At this time.

Chu Xinghe felt ripples in the surrounding Void Realm.

"Come out!"

Chu Xinghe stood with his hands behind his back.

His gaze was still fixed on the stone wall.

Looking at those mysterious runes.

A graceful figure walked out from the Void Realm.

Her face was covered by a purple veil.

She looked at the back of the figure standing in the cave, her eyes filled with scrutiny.

He looked just like an ordinary person.

The moment the Palace Master saw Chu Xinghe.

This person was not simple.

Her gaze also fell upon the stone wall.

The mysterious runes carved on it did not resemble the script of this era.

Chu Xinghe ignored the Palace Master; she was just a Quasi-Emperor, and he didn't take her seriously.

What intrigued him was the content of the stone wall.

As for how this woman had found him.

It was likely through the Gu Spirit.

The entire Southern Border was under the control of the Gu Spirit.

Finding him was easy.

Plus, Chu Xinghe hadn't made any deliberate effort to hide his tracks.

The content on the stone wall was incomplete.

Chu Xinghe could only roughly make it out.

A giant human fighting other strange creatures.

It was likely a stone wall from the God-Demon Era.

After such a long passage of time.

The content on the stone wall had become so faint it was hard to discern.

As for the corpse beside it.

Chu Xinghe approached to examine it.

This corpse still possessed a faint divine charm.

It certainly wasn't from the God-Demon Era.

Chu Xinghe could roughly tell that this person died from having their internal dao rhyme sucked dry.

Then it was possibly from the Ancient Desolate Era.

Previously, Remnant Spring had mentioned that there was a massive deception during the Ancient Desolate Era.

He guessed this corpse was just a victim of the scam.

Chu Xinghe looked at the Storage Ring.

Its divine charm had dissipated.

And the contents inside were empty.
