Black Cloud Great Saint faces a crisis as seventeen of his Deacon Demon Marshals vanish overnight. This unprecedented event causes him immense pressure from his father and forces him to launch a frantic investigation. Meanwhile, Ye Zhen has broken through to the Sixth Stage of the Realm King Realm, his power greatly amplified. Confident in his newfound strength and fueled by past grievances, Ye Zhen begins a violent campaign against Black Cloud Great Saint's forces, quickly assassinating several more Demon Marshals and plunging White Tiger City into chaos.

As the Grand Saint Order of the Black Cloud Great Sage dispersed countless streams of light in all directions, shortly afterward, these streams shot up into the sky like fireworks from all around White Tiger City and White Tiger Mountain, heading towards the Black Cloud Great Sage.

At the same time, in a mansion halfway up White Tiger Mountain, surrounded by purple energy, a majestic man with a purple face and purple beard was having a secret conversation with two people.

One was a gentle and refined scholar, with eyes full of wisdom and brilliance. This person was the chief strategist and advisor under the Purple Whisker Great Saint, surnamed Hu, named Han, also from the Fox Clan, who had been assisting the Purple Whisker Great Saint for many years.

The other was a fierce-looking man with a beard like needles under his chin, with his aura subtly hidden, but his every move seemed to affect the entire world.

This man was a trusted aide to the Purple Whisker Great Saint, Hur Ge, a Dao Realm Expert.

"Old Third has messed up this matter, actually disregarding everything to execute the Grand Saint Order; it seems Old Third doesn’t care about face anymore."

Saying this, the Purple Whisker Great Saint looked at the strategist and advisor Hu Han, "Mr., do you say I should just watch on, or go out to help Old Third, lest he loses too much face?"

Hu Han smiled slightly but did not rush to answer; he first took a sip of the tea in front of him and said, "That depends on what the Great Saint wants to achieve?"

"Achieve what?"

"For example, the friendship of the Black Cloud Great Sage, or perhaps the king’s appreciation, or maybe the hearts of the people of White Tiger City, or avoid losing something!" Hu Han said.

"The friendship of Old Third?" the Purple Whisker Great Saint laughed coldly, "I’m afraid even if I give him my head, I won’t get his friendship! I need the king’s appreciation, the hearts of White Tiger City, so please, Mr., make a plan." The Purple Whisker Great Saint cupped his hands towards Hu Han.

"Planning can be done, but as of now, I suggest the Great Saint remain watching the fire from the other side."

The Purple Whisker Great Saint frowned, "Didn’t Mr. just say something could be gained?"

"Before you can gain anything, you must be sure you have the assurance. Presently, neither we nor the Black Cloud Great Sage have even figured out who the enemy is.

It can be seen that the enemy of the Black Cloud Great Sage is not simple. So, we should still wait and see how the situation develops.

However, to avoid leaving the impression to the king that the Great Saint has any selfish motives, the Great Saint should at least make some gesture, send out some forces to maintain order in White Tiger City, while mobilizing experts to stand by secretly, ready to respond." Hu Han said.

"Alright!"

"Uncle Ge, you prepare for this matter first."

At the same instant, within the Black Tiger King’s palace, the Teeth Tiger Great Saint looked up at the brilliant streams above White Tiger Mountain, wanting to report the received intelligence to the Black Tiger King.

However, the gates of the Black Tiger King’s sleeping palace were tightly closed; since obtaining the Dragon Saliva Peaches, the Black Tiger King has shut himself in.

Ultimately, the Teeth Tiger Great Saint gathered all the intelligence into a Jade Scroll, handed to the Inner Attendant standing guard at the palace gates.

This was his duty; he had already fulfilled it.

Simultaneously, within the Red Tiger King’s palace, located a million miles away from the White Tiger Mountain Range, an old man in a red robe gazed at the direction of White Tiger City with eyes seemingly able to pierce through the void.

"The little cub of the Black Tiger Family seems to be stirring trouble, but that’s good; stirring trouble is good. Perhaps the owner of White Tiger City might change."

.....

Numerous streams of light danced, and the atmosphere around the Black Tiger King Palace in White Tiger Mountain Range grew intensely tense.

Yet, heavier than this atmosphere was the face of the Black Cloud Great Sage.

Because, in these brief moments of half a quarter-hour, another bad news arrived: two more of the Demon Commanders he dispatched were killed.

In just an hour, seven of his Demon Commanders had been eliminated.

The Demon Commanders that the Black Cloud Great Sage could send out were considered quite capable, yet losing seven in such a short time made him not only feel the pain but also seethe with anger.

However, after a few breaths, the elite under the Black Cloud Great Sage gathered, and the Black Cloud Great Sage and his core members began discussing the matter.

"Great Sage, I see this thief only targeting the Great Sage’s Demon Commanders, and their search is incredibly accurate; I think they must have extraordinary Divine Skills.

But, what if we use this against them?" suggested Hur Mo, the strategic general under the Black Cloud Great Sage.

"How do we use this against them?"

....

Underground, concealed among the roots of a large tree, Ye Zhen continuously heard Big Ears Nie Ting’s voice, transmitted directly using the Heavenly Sound Divine Ability, his mouth curling into a cold, indifferent smile.

A torrent of Divine Sense swept past Ye Zhen’s body, capable of discovering even the tiniest metal particles underground, yet unable to detect Ye Zhen hidden among the tree roots.

This was a new subtlety Ye Zhen had discovered.

Previously, Ye Zhen’s Innate Five Elements Divine Escape, although incredibly ingenious, had been forced out of his escape skill several times, even being discovered by powerful Divine Souls multiple times.

But now, as Little Demon broke through to the Dao Realm, Little Demon’s power underwent a fundamental change, infusing into the tree roots, causing Little Demon to merge with the tree roots, with no distinctions.

And Ye Zhen and Little Demon were one; Ye Zhen first escaped into the Avatar created by Little Demon, then Little Demon merged into the tree roots, making this concealment extremely clever.

No matter how strong your Divine Sense is, roots remain roots; there is no sign of anything unusual.

Ye Zhen estimated not even Grand Priest Nahar would be able to detect him now.

At this moment, Ye Zhen was only concealed ten meters underground among the tree roots here, with hundreds of Divine Sense sweeping past, yet no one noticed his presence.

As soon as Big Ears Nie Ting finished speaking, Ye Zhen let out a cold chuckle, "Well manipulated plan, I like it!"

Half a quarter-hour later, Ye Zhen silently moved beneath a large hall.

In the center of the hall, two Demon Commanders were constantly examining entry and exit records of White Tiger City from these past days, while standing around were several Demon Commanders, each as cautious as facing a formidable enemy.

If someone were to observe carefully, they would see the two Demon Commanders flipping through records, but their gaze never lingered even a bit on those records.

Meanwhile, underground, Ye Zhen had a strange smile on his face.

Next moment, blinding Sword Light and green brilliance suddenly burst from underground, the green brilliance tightly entangling the lower halves of the two Demon Commanders, immobilizing them.

The piercing Sword Light, carrying an intense chilling aura, madly stabbed at their vital points.

"Enemy attack!" At the moment of the two Demon Commanders’ startled exclamation, over six terrifying, ocean-like, Dao Realm auras rose from all sides.

These six Dao Realm auras appeared without hastening to rescue the two Demon Commanders being attacked, but each exhibited their Divine Skills.

One Dao Realm expert let out a tiger roar, spreading terrifying sound waves in all directions, causing the surrounding space to shake simultaneously, preventing Ye Zhen from breaking through the void to escape.

Another Dao Realm expert wielded a silver blade over a thousand meters long, slicing countless times in an instant, cutting down the land as far as ten miles around this hall.

As the blade light flashed, the ground surrounding the hall’s location, like a rock fully unearthed, floated like an isolated island.

Surrounding all sides, the flashing silver blade light encircled it tightly, preventing not just a person, but even a single trace of breath from escaping.

At the same moment, the Black Cloud Great Sage’s furious roar echoed from afar, "You bastard, dare to oppose the Great Sage, this time if you fall into my hands, I will make you beg for life and death!"

Trapped and sealed, Ye Zhen showed no fear; it was as if he was not the one enclosed and surrounded, intensively driving the Sword Light he held violently into the Demon Commander’s chest and abdomen he had locked onto.

With a twist, the blood-soaked Sword Light burst from the top of the skull of one Demon Commander!

Another commander killed!
