So we can advance and retreat together?

Ancestor Gu Yan looked at Gu Changqing with an unfriendly expression.

He was suspicious, wondering if this grandson was trying to make fun of him.

The news that had been revealed was more shocking and unbelievable than the last.

If there was someone among the Human Race of the Mysterious Domain who could solve the disaster of the Demon Race, why would the Human Race have been so oppressed for so many years that they could only huddle in one continent?

Facing his ancestor's questioning, Gu Changqing couldn't help but feel a hint of doubt about the authenticity of the news.

However, after a moment, he seemed to recall something and said, “Ancestor, it's impossible for our Human Race of the Mysterious Domain to accomplish such a feat. But is it possible that this person came from outside the Mysterious Domain?”

These words instantly opened up Ancestor Gu Yan's limited way of thinking.

Outside the Mysterious Domain?

More than three months ago?

When these two key pieces of information were linked together, for some reason, Zhong Qing's figure instantly appeared in Ancestor Gu Yan's mind.

Nothing else, Zhong Qing had arrived in Tianxuan City just over three months ago!

But!

How could this be?

The disaster of the Demon Race that all previous Domain Lords had failed to solve throughout their lives, this Domain Lord, solved it before even taking office?!

He certainly didn't believe it deep down.

For a time, Ancestor Gu Yan's eyes were filled with shock and uncertainty.

Was it Zhong Qing after all?

It was only at this moment that he realized that due to his past prejudice and rejection of the Domain Lord, he knew absolutely nothing about this newly appointed Domain Lord.

Gu Changqing looked at his ancestor, whose eyes were flickering, and couldn't quite fathom what his ancestor was thinking.

He whispered, “Ancestor, do you have any instructions?”

Ancestor Gu Yan, however, waved his hand and asked, “Where are the scouts who are investigating the movements of the Demon Race?”

He had a premonition that these scouts might help him solve this mystery.

“The scouts have already sent the news back and are now on their way back to the sect.”

“They should be able to return to the sect in less than two or three days!”

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Gu Yan shook his head.

“We can't wait two or three days!”

“Immediately notify all Saint Realm experts of Futu Hall to gather at the fastest speed!”

These words left Gu Changqing puzzled.

“Ancestor, why gather so many experts?”

Ancestor Gu Yan's gaze turned towards the Domain Lords Mansion.

He said, word by word, “Go to the Domain Lords Mansion and first congratulate the Lord Domain Lord!”

Gu Changqing's face showed confusion.

“Ancestor, why is this? Didn't you previously explicitly forbid anyone from Futu Hall from attending the Domain Lord's inauguration ceremony?”

In front of the pavilion, Ancestor Gu Yan waved his hand irritably.

“This is a different time, just do as I say.”

His idea was also very simple.

On this trip, he wanted to investigate whether the person who subdued and unified the Demon Race could possibly be Zhong Qing.

And regardless of whether it was him or not.

The most core reason for the rift between the Domain Lord and Futu Hall was the Demon Race.

Now, the situation of the Demon Race had already undergone a major change.

Their attitude towards the Domain Lord naturally had to change accordingly!

With the ancestor's command, all the Saint Realm experts of Futu Hall instantly took action.

Although they did not understand why the ancestor made such a decision, in Futu Hall, the ancestor's will was the will of the entire sect.

They naturally would not defy the ancestor's decision.

Then, the ancestor of Futu Hall, along with dozens of Saints, went together to the Domain Lords Mansion to congratulate the Domain Lord.

This action caused a huge stir throughout Tianxuan City.

“Didn't Futu Hall first release the news that they would not participate in the Domain Lord's inauguration ceremony?”

“Who can tell me what's going on?”

“Not only did the ancestor of Futu Hall personally lead the team, but even the entire high-level of the sect went along.”

“Are they abandoning their previous stance and starting to support this so-called Domain Lord?”

“How can they keep changing their minds?”

Many people made guesses with puzzled expressions.

This move by Futu Hall truly left everyone dumbfounded and caught off guard.

At the same time!

Ten Thousand Saints Gate!

As one of the three transcendent forces of the Human Race, Ten Thousand Saints Gate was originally a supreme existence in the northern part of the Eastern Continent.

In recent years, due to the changing situation between the Human Race and the Demon Race, after relocating their focus to Tianxuan City, the entire sect's main base was also placed on a flying boat.

The white flying boat stood above the clouds in the southeast of Tianxuan City.

Looking up from below, the entire flying boat resembled a white tiger roaring at the sky, tens of thousands of feet tall.

Inside the flying boat!

Old Ancestor Fang Quan, the ancestor of Ten Thousand Saints Gate, was currently standing in a grand hall, with a massive square sandbox, tens of feet long on each side, placed in front of him.

On the sandbox, there were mountains and rivers, ancient jungles, and even Human Race cities, and even the dividing lines of the four continents of the Mysterious Domain.

This was clearly a map of the Mysterious Domain.

It could be clearly seen from the map that although the Human Race claimed to occupy one continent.

Nominally occupying one-quarter of the Mysterious Domain's territory.

However, the Human Race territory displayed on the map only accounted for about one-sixth of the entire Mysterious Domain. Only some Human Race members survived in the cracks within the Demon Race's occupied territories, just like those few second-rate forces in the North Continent.

“If this continues, the future prospects of our Human Race are worrying!”

Old Ancestor Fang Quan looked at the map in silence for a long time, letting out a sorrowful sigh.

Over the years, he had personally witnessed the Human Race's living space being squeezed and gradually encroached upon by the Demon Race.

As one of the three Great Saint experts of the Human Race!

He had sought many different paths for the Human Race, tried different directions.

But without exception, all ended in failure.

Until Fengtian Hall dispatched the Domain Lord, they originally thought it was Fengtian Hall specifically sent to resolve the disaster, and once their hearts were filled with hope.

But it was precisely because of this that their trust in the Domain Lord and even Fengtian Hall was shattered.

At this moment, as he looked at the map of the Mysterious Domain, he was deducing whether there would be a glimmer of hope for the future of the Human Race.

However, before he could deduce a result.

He was interrupted by a hurried voice.

“Ancestor, this is bad!”

“The ancestor of Futu Hall, along with everyone from Futu Hall, has all rushed to the Domain Lords Mansion to attend the inauguration ceremony!”

As soon as these words came out!

Old Ancestor Fang Quan felt a roar in his brain.

His entire spirit became dazed.

He remembered that the two of them had sat together earlier.

That fellow Ancestor Gu Yan had even sworn with a pat on his chest that since they had been friends for many years, they should advance and retreat together!

Is this how they advance and retreat together?
