Ning Qi continues his role as a hidden observer, harvesting hidden nodes across war realms to strengthen the True Martial Realm while keeping his presence undetected. As the Mountain and Sea Realm prepares for a major escalation, the long-awaited harmonizers begin their descent into the war zones. A hundred powerful Unity Realm cultivators arrive in the Southwestern War Realm, immediately evaluating the forces and surprising many with their focus on the superior coordination of the Profound Truth Realm.

Ultimately, Ning Qi dismantled the strict sectarian barriers within the Profound Truth Realm and bestowed upon everyone a superior grade of cultivation techniques.

Even though these Immortal Sect disciples are talented, is there truly any among them who could capture the full attention of the Ancestors and have every secret teaching passed down to them?

Previously, their only disadvantage against the Immortal Sect cultivators was their overall cultivation level, yet their foundational base was vastly superior.

Once they entered the War Domain, the clever strategic guidance provided by Ning Qi bridged that remaining gap in their cultivation.

"Do these individuals belong to the new batch of cultivators from the Profound Truth Realm recruited by the Sea Ancestor?" one person inquired in consensus.

Ren Boping and his party answered with complete honesty, introducing the assembled legions of the Sword Ancestor, Qi Keqing, and Zhu Yanchuan from the Three Domains.

Upon hearing that the Mountain Ancestor’s own subordinates were among them, the expressions of several of the hundred Harmonization experts shifted visibly.

"Since when would the Mountain Ancestor’s cultivators dare to encroach upon the territory of the Sea Ancestor?"

"Seize them for me, and we shall travel to the Mountain Ancestor to demand reparations."

At those words, the faces of Qi Keqing, Zhu Yanchuan, and their companions turned ashen instantly.

Naturally, several other Harmonization Ancestors proceeded to cautiously consult their own juniors to gain a better grasp of the situation.

The specific Harmonization Ancestor who had been clamoring to capture Qi Keqing and the others was abruptly halted by his subordinates, who pleaded, "Ancestor, you must not!"

Was there a single cultivator present who had not received aid from Ning Qi or benefited from his generosity?

Moreover, although Qi Keqing and the others served the Mountain Ancestor, they had provided significant assistance to many people under Ning Qi’s own command.

The boisterous ancestor froze, glancing sideways with a glare: "What did you just say?"

His juniors quickly articulated the events that transpired in the Southwestern War Domain, leaving the elder utterly stunned.

"Are you claiming that all of you have been helped by Ning Qi?"

"Exactly. If it weren't for Ning Qi, we would likely be dead or severely maimed, let alone capable of securing the realm so quickly for your eventual arrival."

The group of a hundred Harmonization experts suddenly found themselves distracted.

They looked toward their juniors, who continued to offer nods of confirmation.

For a brief moment, everyone present bobbed their heads like pecking chicks, creating a scene of unexpected levity.

Inevitably, among the hundred Harmonization experts, there were stubborn spirits and those who harbored deep, irreconcilable grievances against the Mountain Ancestor’s followers.

Three individuals declared, "Although Ning Qi now maintains allegiance to the Sea Ancestor and we shall not target him or the cultivators of the Profound Truth Realm, those hailing from the Fuyao Realm and the Langya Domain must pay for their actions."

"Qi is correct. Throughout my battles across various realms, I encountered the Harmonization experts of the Langya Domain, and they slew three of my own disciples. This blood debt must be repaid!"

"Brother Wu, your commitment to righteousness is admirable; avenging one's disciples is our solemn duty. I, too, have faced friction with the Fuyao Realm’s Harmonization experts. While we are all peers in the Harmonization stage, it is not ideal to kill them outright, but seizing them to exchange for resources is quite profitable."

The Mountain Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor have been locked in rivalry for countless millennia; inevitably, their followers suffer frequent skirmishes.

The three prominent Harmonization leaders stepped forward from the crowd, pressing their advance against Qi Keqing and the others.

Other Harmonization experts considered intervening, but the trio turned to face them, faces flushed with anger: "Has no one from your own Sect been harmed or killed by the followers of the Mountain Ancestor?"

The others immediately fell into a heavy silence.

Indeed, they had no intention of exterminating these people, and since they weren't targeting Ning Qi or the Profound Truth Realm, why bother stopping the conflict?

Ren Boping and his associates stood helpless. Before the might of these Harmonization Ancestors, they were mere juniors, far too weak to ever hope to obstruct them.

Qi Keqing and Zhu Yanchuan felt like mortals standing before a crushing tide, completely vulnerable against the advancing trio.

At this critical juncture, the Sword Ancestor, Sword Shocking, shouted a powerful command:

"This junior serves as the commander of the Profound Truth Realm, entrusted by the Domain Master to ensure the safety of our fellow warriors; I humbly request that the three seniors show mercy."

The Harmonization Ancestor identified as Qi Shan Ling barked back in fury: "Who are you to interfere in our business?"

The Sword Ancestor was momentarily left speechless, yet he remained undaunted.

A top-grade spirit sword manifested behind him as he replied, "This junior may be insignificant, yet I cannot stand by and watch as the weak are bullied by those with greater strength."
