168: The era belonging to the Sima family?

Shangguan Yaoyao was not polite at all; she directly activated the Nine-tailed Space and emptied the entire warehouse!

What?

Too greedy?

Leave a line for others?

This Immortal Fate was encountered by me through my own ability!

Why should I give it up?

What if it doesn't “blind” Jiang Lin’s eyes and isn't considered a pleasant surprise?

Are you responsible?

Last time, a Royal Family Secret Realm treasure trove was already given.

What if he's numb to it now?

Don't you agree?

Anyway, I don't use these things myself; in the end, Jiang Lin will take all the blame!

In just a moment, Shangguan Yaoyao disguised the Nine-tailed Space as a warehouse and took all the resources.

“Goodbye, Sima Family!”

“I enjoyed your hospitality very much, and if I have the chance, I’ll come again next time!”

After speaking, Shangguan Yaoyao’s will directly left the Phantom Butterfly, activated the Nine-tailed Space’s return ability, and returned to her main body in Cloud Marsh Province.

The moment the secret realm stone left the warehouse,

Sima Changfeng immediately stood up, his Face extremely grim, saying:

“Long Zhiyang, you’ve gone too far!”

“You even dare to covet my Sima Family’s Secret Realm!”

“It seems that if we don’t use some thunderous methods, the Nine Provinces will forget the Sima Family’s strength!”

“Send out the Blood Rain Guard and snatch the secret realm stone back for me!”

“No matter who that person is who took the Secret Realm, skin them alive and pull out their tendons!”

As soon as these words were uttered, the atmosphere of the Sima Family instantly became murderous!

Once the Blood Rain Guard is dispatched, the Nine Provinces will surely be drenched in blood and gore!

The person next to him spoke up to remind him: “What if the person is in the Capital…”

Sima Changfeng’s eyes were cold: “Long Zhiyang isn’t stupid; the person is currently in Cloud Marsh Province!”

“The Royal Family is truly greedy; aren’t they afraid of being choked to death by over two hundred Secret Realms?”

“Cough, cough, cough…”

After speaking, Sima Changfeng’s Face instantly turned pale, and he coughed several times, a trace of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth.

“Royal Family, we’re not done with this matter!”

On the other side,

The Capital, Imperial Palace.

Long Zhiyang’s Face was ashen, his eyes spitting fire.

“The Sima Family is truly audacious; they directly destroyed the Phantom Butterfly I sent, leaving no trace!”

“Do they really think my Royal Family, who has governed the Nine Provinces for five thousand years, is just for show?”

“Someone, send the Dragon Guard Army and the Rebel Suppression Army to surround Luo Hui City and investigate the specific incident!”

It wasn’t surprising that Long Zhiyang was so angry.

If an envoy died, he could use that as an excuse to investigate the Sima Family;

He wouldn’t be angry!

But this time, the Phantom Butterfly was precisely for confirming whether the Sima Family had any contraband!

The result was the same—annihilation!

That was a challenge to imperial authority!

“Report… Your Majesty, the Sima Family has dispatched the Blood Rain Guard to Cloud Marsh Province!”

“They said… their own warehouse was looted!”

“Over two hundred Secret Realms, all gone!”

Upon hearing this, Long Zhiyang was stunned,

The hand that was about to issue a military order suddenly stopped.

What the hell?

The villain crying foul first?

I haven’t even blamed you for killing the envoy and that Phantom Butterfly, yet you’re turning around and accusing me, saying your Secret Realm is lost?

In this world, who would dare to snatch your Sima Family’s Secret Realm?

A thief crying “stop thief”!

Although he thought this in his heart, on the surface, Long Zhiyang was extremely troubled!

It’s not easy to handle now…

The Sima Family made the first move,

At that time, they will surely find out that the Phantom Butterfly came from the Imperial Palace, and then he won't be able to explain it clearly.

Although as the Lord of the Nine Provinces, he didn't need to explain at all, not having the moral high ground could easily lead to losing popular support…

So, he could only accept this loss and even cooperate with the Sima Family to search for the Secret Realm!

“Did they say where the Secret Realm is?”

The reporting guard hurriedly replied: “Reporting to Your Majesty, it went to Cloud Marsh Province!”

Cloud Marsh Province?

Cloud Marsh Province again?

The Sima Family really knows how to pick a time!

They specifically chose a time when the mountain and river map couldn’t control Cloud Marsh Province!

This time, I’ll endure it!

Later, I will make the Sima Family repay it a hundredfold!

Just then,

The Marquis of Celestial Observation from the Celestial Mystery Pavilion rushed in frantically,

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is bad, the celestial phenomena are in great chaos!”

“Yinghuo Shou Xin, Taibai Jing Tian, Four Stars in a Line—three major ominous signs appearing simultaneously! The world is about to fall into great chaos!”

Upon hearing this,

Long Zhiyang suddenly stood up, exclaiming: “Impossible! Weren’t the celestial phenomena fine yesterday?”

The Marquis of Celestial Observation wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly said: “The Heavenly Dao is dormant, so the celestial phenomena will not provide omens; they will directly show the current situation!”

Long Zhiyang shook his head again and coldly said: “That’s still impossible. A mere Soul Chaos in Cloud Marsh Province cannot cause the simultaneous appearance of three ominous signs!”

“What are the specific details?”

The Marquis of Celestial Observation said tremblingly: “Without the Heavenly Dao’s premonition, it’s impossible to see clearly. This ominous sign is not just for the Nine Provinces, but for the Three Realms and Sixteen Regions!”

A sense of unease lingered in Long Zhiyang’s heart.

At this moment,

He thought of the mountain and river map’s multiple losses of control, the reappearance of dark magic, and the demonic disasters and soul chaos in various places.

And that immortal spell that the Monster Realm suddenly launched at the Nine Provinces just now!

It also indicated that the Monster Realm was not peaceful either!

In the secret reports from the past few days, the Witch Realm had also begun to become turbulent,

An organization specifically for collecting abandoned gods had appeared out of thin air!

Or rather, the chaos had already begun!

It began when the Heavenly Dao went dormant!

It seems it has been peaceful for too long…

Suppressing his anger towards the Sima Family, Long Zhiyang regained his usual demeanor and waved his hand, saying: “I understand, you may go!”

The Marquis of Celestial Observation hesitated: “Your Majesty, this celestial phenomenon is extremely dangerous. We should first convene a Three Realms meeting to avoid widespread suffering!”

Long Zhiyang said indifferently: “It’s not as if this hasn’t happened before. The Nine Provinces still have this much resilience!”

“If we propose to convene a Three Realms meeting, it will make the Witch and Demon Realm think that our Human Race is afraid!”

“This action is absolutely impossible!”

The Marquis of Celestial Observation gritted his teeth and continued to persuade: “Your Majesty, last time this situation occurred, Xiao Zhan died, and the Human Race lost millions of Cultivators in Reincarnation Mountain; the time before that, during the Hundred Dynasties War, the Xuanyuan Great Power slew numerous immortals and established new rules…”

Hearing the Marquis of Celestial Observation still urging him to take it seriously, a trace of impatience flashed in Long Zhiyang’s eyes.

It should indeed be taken seriously, but things must be done step by step!

With chaotic times approaching, the internal stability of the Nine Provinces must be maintained!

Blindly convening a Three Realms meeting would only make the Witch Realm and the Monster Realm believe that the Nine Provinces Realm was afraid!

Facing a veteran official who had served three dynasties, Long Zhiyang found it difficult to lose his temper, so he could only perfunctorily say: “I understand, Marquis Liu. Please be more diligent, and report any changes in the celestial phenomena to me immediately!”

Seeing that His Majesty agreed, the Marquis of Celestial Observation hurriedly bowed and said: “Yes, this old subject will take his leave first!”

…

The moment the Blood Rain Guard entered Cloud Marsh Province,

Sima Changfeng’s eyes widened in shock; he immediately grabbed the sable fur next to him, draped it over himself, and rushed out of the palace.

“Feng Shi, you absolutely must not go out!”

“Yes, your body cannot withstand the extreme cold weather outside!”

The guards on both sides immediately stepped forward, trying to persuade Sima Changfeng to return.

He pushed the two aside and directly rushed out of the main gate.

Outside the main hall,

On the vast, boundless frozen land, the biting winds roared wildly.

Sima Changfeng’s frail body seemed as if it could be blown away at any moment.

At this moment, the guards behind him hurriedly cast various Formations, blocking the extreme climate around them.

Sima Changfeng raised his head, looking at the boundless starry sky, his eyes shining brightly.

“Yinghuo Shou Xin, Taibai Jing Tian, Four Stars in a Line!”

“Just as the Nine Ring Aura Bureau was set up, something big is about to happen!”

“Is the era belonging to the Sima Family about to arrive?”
