91: Each has its own plans

“But what exactly is the origin of the Xu Family? To this day, we still don't know their identity. Are they truly an ancient power from the previous era? Or are they like us, from other Great Domains?”

A Sect Master asked curiously.

Quan Yang sneered and said, “As far as I know, the Xu Family is just a newly emerging Family from a small domain in the Profound Ancient Territory. They only recently rose to prominence in the Xuangu Domain.”

“If they were from other Great Domains, how could they not have appeared at a critical moment but instead emerged at this time? However, their strength has indeed grown extremely rapidly. I think that the Ming Domain might have a ruin that they obtained.”

“Everyone, in the past, the Land of Thousand Domains contained many Great Domains, and even quite a few Emperor Domains. How powerful those forces were! Even if they were annihilated, the Legacies they left behind could allow a small Family to rapidly grow. It’s not impossible.”

Quan Yang's words were met with approval from the various forces present.

“In that case, we must act quickly. Otherwise, if they continue to grow, the consequences will be unimaginable,” someone echoed.

The Fire Underworld Sect Master nodded and said, “That’s right, we cannot allow them to continue to expand. That’s why I invited you all here for this matter. I presume everyone has received instructions from above, right?”

“Yes! The instructions from the Upper Sect are to gather troops and await the arrival of the Heavenly Venerables. In at most a month, our Sect’s Heavenly Venerables will surely arrive!” the Grand Elder of Huangfeng Valley said.

“My clan too!”

“Our Sect as well!”

Everyone echoed.

“Then, after you all return, be sure to make preparations. Once the Heavenly Venerables from each Family arrive, that will be the time for us to launch our attack.”

Everyone agreed, expressing their full cooperation.

Subsequently, representatives from various Sects successively left the Fire Underworld Sect.

“Hmph! You scoundrels of the Tiangang Sect, once this matter is resolved, my Luo Family will settle accounts with you!”

Upon parting, the Vice Manor Master of Luo Li Manor said coldly.

“Anytime!”

The Grand Elder of the Tiangang Sect sneered.

Meanwhile, in Cloud Mist Mountain, far from the Blackfire Domain, Xu Qing stood beneath an Ancient Plum tree, overlooking the mountains and rivers below.

Since the last absorption of the Mystic Ancient Divine Hall, Cloud Mist Mountain had expanded by tens of miles. If the Mystic Ancient Divine Hall was like this, other Sects would not be few.

“A bunch of clowns, thinking that by uniting they can contend with my Xu Family?” Xu Qing muttered to himself with a cold laugh.

He had already seen everything that happened in the Blackfire Domain through the Tiangang Sect servant.

He was waiting. In at most a month, the Heavenly Venerables of these Sects would arrive, and at that time, the Southern Four Hundred Domain Worlds would be brought into his possession.

At this time, the Seven Kill Lineage’s grand competition had already concluded.

Currently, the Seven Kill Lineage had eleven Profound Venerables, one hundred Venerables, and a thousand Tian Wang Consummates. If Heavenly Venerable combat power were dispatched, this force could completely challenge any power in the Land of Thousand Domains.

In the Martial Dao Realm, there was never anything truly impenetrable. The actions of the forces behind the Thirteen Sects were quickly noticed by the forces behind the Eastern and Western Domain Worlds. Initially, they thought the Thirteen Sects were preparing to target them.

But after some inquiries, they learned that such a terrifying existence had appeared in the Southern Four Hundred Domain Worlds.

Heavenly Venerable Perfection was a highly esteemed existence even among various forces, so it was no wonder these Sects would take such actions.

As the news spread, the Hundred Domains surrounding the Land of Thousand Domains all learned about this matter and sent out powerful individuals.

“Interesting, I didn’t expect that Bai Jue went to trouble the Xu Family that day, but unfortunately, he was instead killed!”

In the Ninth Zhenguan City, the beautiful woman received the news with some surprise, but she didn’t pay too much attention to it. No matter how strong the opponent was, he was only a Heavenly Venerable Perfection. For a Divine Venerable powerhouse like her, he could be extinguished with a wave of her hand.

“However, a warning is still needed. Although the Land of Thousand Domains has declined, there are quite a few old monsters from back then. If these forces cause too much bloodshed in the Land of Thousand Domains, it might incur the displeasure of those old monsters!”

Although the beautiful woman had a giant backing her, if those old monsters were to blame her, she would not be able to bear it. At that time, not only would she be unlucky, but even the Sect behind her would suffer.

“Nan Jiu, you said you were going into seclusion! But you also sent out Elder Lei and the others. You’ve really gotten me into trouble!”

The beautiful woman bit her lip helplessly, then disappeared into the main hall.

And news of the Thirteen Sects’ actions also spread to the Land of Thousand Domains, and even the Southern Four Hundred Territories.

This truly startled the various Sects, because this matter had already spread to the Xuangu Domain. The various Sects quickly activated their grand arrays and even established cross-domain teleportation arrays, ready to provide support at any time.

Furthermore, advance troops had already headed to the Tiangang Territory and Luo Li Territory, preparing to resist the Xu Family’s attack.

The Old Ancestors of the Tianyun Prefecture, Fire Underworld Sect, and Shenyi Sect, carrying powerful Heavenly Venerable weapons, quietly arrived in the two great territories, preparing to counter Xu Qing’s arrival.

“Damn it, don’t let this Old Man find out which force is behind this!”

Ancestor Tian Yun was very depressed. He originally wanted to be the chess player, but he was put on the fire by others.

Although he disdained the Xu Family, that was based on the strength of their main clan. If he had to face the Xu Family alone, he would still be afraid. After all, he was only in the Heavenly Venerable Early Stage. Even if he had treasures bestowed by his clan, at most he could only hold back one Heavenly Venerable Perfection.

Who knew how many Heavenly Venerables the Xu Family had?

Now that this matter had caused such a huge uproar, he did not believe that there were no other forces behind it fueling the flames.

And these forces, he didn't even need to guess, he knew they must be those forces that failed to contend for the Southern Four Hundred Domain Worlds back then.

Because they were closest to the forces behind the Thirteen Sects, they would know as soon as there was any movement from the forces behind them.

What they were doing was nothing more than wanting the Xu Family to act, to uproot the Foundation of the Land of Thousand Domains. As for whether the Xu Family would eventually be destroyed, they wouldn't care in the slightest.

But while the Eleven Sects were nervous, the Xu Family did not make a move, not even the slightest movement.

The Xu Family’s Cloud Mist Mountain stood quietly there, as if the outside world’s affairs had no impact on them.

This couldn’t help but make the various forces confused, as this didn’t align with what they had imagined.

Especially those who were secretly fueling the flames, they all cursed the Xu Family.

Originally, they wanted the Xu Family to make a strong move, destroy the Foundation of the Thirteen Sects in the Land of Thousand Domains, and then deplete some of the Thirteen Sects’ Legacy, but who would have thought that the Xu Family wouldn’t fall for it.

In a certain small domain in the Luo Li Territory.

A group of mysterious people, shrouded in rules, gathered.

“Damn it! What is this Xu Family doing? People are almost at their doorstep, and they still aren’t making a move?”

“Hmph! Maybe they have that much confidence?” a powerful individual retorted ironically.

A powerful individual sneered, “What a joke! A parvenu who popped out of nowhere, got a little Legacy, and dares to be so arrogant. Truly courting death!”

“Enough!”

Just then, an old voice rang out.

The entire venue immediately fell silent, and everyone looked respectfully at a gray-robed old man at the head of the table.

The old man continued, “Don’t mind the Xu Family. They’re just living a few more days. The Xu Family will eventually clash with the Thirteen Families. We just need to wait for the best moment to strike and seize the Southern Four Hundred Domain Worlds in one fell swoop.”

“As for the forces behind the Thirteen Sects, our main Sect will handle them. We just need to clean up this mess according to the agreement of each Family!”

“Venerable Bai Ye, besides us, there are probably others eyeing the Southern Four Hundred Domain Worlds this time. We must not let others reap the benefits!” a powerful individual said.

“Heavenly Venerable Qin Hai’s consideration is not without reason. We cannot be careless in this matter!”

“Don’t worry! This Old Man has already met with the two forces led by the Wind God Sect and the Heavenly Blade Sect. At that time, our three parties will jointly enter the Southern Four Hundred Domain Worlds. We are merely trying to secure some quotas, so giving up some and letting them share the pressure is also good!” Heavenly Venerable Bai Ye stroked his beard and smiled.

“So Heavenly Venerable Bai Ye has already made thorough preparations. In that case, we are relieved!”
