News of the Star Heaven Sect's Sky Shattering Conference, with its promise of immense rewards and opportunities, has spread like wildfire across the boundless territories, igniting widespread excitement and discussion. While many are captivated by the prospect of gaining ultimate treasures and divine skills, the conference also sets strict requirements for participation, filtering out those with mediocre talent. Meanwhile, individuals like Du Wei are inspired by the displayed swordsmanship and dream of attending, facing skepticism from peers about their qualifications.

"Master," a white‑haired old man with keen eyes walked over. However, the white‑haired old man actually knelt before the middle‑aged man in white clothes.

"What is it?" The gray clothes on the middle‑aged man were a light color.

The white‑haired old man said, "Old Pu Xian has gone to the Tuoba."

"Oh?" The middle‑aged man in gray clothes was shocked. Because they were weary of the mundane fetters and deceptions of the mortal world, they were like‑minded people, and thus they were also a circle with deep friendship. In the hermit circle, Pu Xian was a friend of this middle‑aged man in gray. Strictly speaking, the two were rivals. They hid themselves away. No matter how Ren Zhuangsong invited them, they never set foot in the mortal world. Their only pursuit was a higher realm, a deeper comprehension of the Dao. Usually, only Pu Xian could compete with him and drink tea together.

The middle‑aged man in Tuoba gray clothes asked with a smile.

The white‑clothed old man said, "I don’t know if Master has hidden himself in the mortal world. Today, the Tuoba’s territory has changed. The new great army is the Star Heaven Sect. Our sect is preparing to take the opportunity of the Martial Arts Conference to recruit Disciples."

Ween Yan, the gray‑clothed middle‑aged man, however, frowned: "Is Pu Xian really willing to attend that conference and join the Sky Shattering Conference’s Star Heaven Sect? The Zhuangzi Valley People promised him great power, yet he did not care. Is that Star Heaven Sect really so good?"

However, the white‑clothed old man gave a bitter smile and told the truth: "Master, Mr. Pu Xian is not going to attend the Sky Shattering Conference, he is going to visit Master."

"What?" The middle‑aged man in gray clothes suddenly stood up, yet he still appeared calm, but he was greatly shocked. Pu Xian had already lived for more than six hundred years. He was not far from the eight‑hundred limit. His power was even more extraordinary and Holy. At this time, he actually had to travel all the way to visit his teacher! What the hell?

"Nonsense, on the Seventh Layers of the Holy Land, who could he worship as a teacher?"

Tuoba Long smiled and said, "Qin Feng is seeking his own death. He allows others to challenge him. This is a good opportunity for us to get close to him and assassinate him."

"Assassinate Qin Feng?" Bi Wusheng raised his brows. This was a huge risk. If he failed, he would directly go to war with the Star Heaven Sect."

"But if Qin Feng does not die, and the Star Heaven Sect develops like this, we will..."

"Enough." The Martial Arts Saint rudely cut off Tuoba Long’s words and sneered coldly: "Tuoba Long, your Tuoba Sect provoked the Star Heaven Sect, and just now you were almost destroyed by others. Now you want to incite the Huangfu Ancient People to provoke the Star Heaven Sect again. What is in your heart?"

"I..." Tuoba Long was immediately choked.

Hua Miao Saint also said coldly, "Now is the good time when Qin Feng and the stars meet. At present, our Huangfu Ancient Clan has split the Tuoba Clan into the Zhuang Songgu Clan and the Duanmu Clan. We do not have the time to worry for him, yet that is still not enough. Tuoba Long, remember this lesson of dealing with Qin Feng and the Star Heaven Sect: either all powers join together, or they should be honest and not provoke them. This is the lesson your Tuoba Sect taught us with the death of your Clan. Hmph, you dare to incite our Huangfu Clan to fight the Star Heaven Sect again. Be careful, or I will twist your head off."

Tuoba Long’s face suddenly turned pale, and the others in the hall also looked very ugly. In this great hall, they had all been snatched from the hands of the Tuoba Sect’s Gao Da, and they had been forced to submit to Tuoba Long and the Huangfu Ancient Sect. At first, the Tuoba Clan Leader had been a great power on equal footing with the Huangfu Ancient Clan Leader, but now he had fallen to the point of becoming a Puppet in the hands of the loudly shouting Huangfu Ancient Clan. They had split the Tuoba Clan one by one; one of them had already died, and it was hard for the elders to accept.

Although in fact the Tuoba Clan had survived, when others pointed at their noses and humiliated them, such a huge rift still made them unable to hold back their tears.

"Tuoba Long," Hua Miao Saint said coldly, "how are the negotiations with Duanmu and Zhuang Sunx?"

Suppressing the anger in his heart, taking a deep breath, Tuoba La forced a smile and said, "Big Brother, don’t worry, we have already negotiated. I just need to cede two small pieces of land and give them some sweet benefits, and they will withdraw."

"Oh?" Saint Hua Miao and Saint Biwu looked at each other with smiles. Right now, the Tuoba Clan truly was not willing to be a Puppet of the Huangfu Ancient Clan. Therefore, the Huangfu Ancient Clan was unwilling to fight Duanmu and Zhuang Sunx at the same time. So the Huangfu Ancient People thought of peace talks. Before this, they had worried that the two Clans of Duanmu and Zhuang Sunx would build up armies, send out one‑third of their Clans, and open their appetites wide. Yet they had not expected that only two small territories would be enough to drive them away.

You must know, of the fifteen lands once controlled by the Tuoba Clan, they had already been ceded to the Star Heaven Sect. Within Yan Xiao’s territory, what had once been the great gate of the Sky Shattering Conference’s Star Heaven Sect now belonged under the control of the Star Heaven Sect. In any case, there were still eleven territories under the Tuoba Family. These eleven lands were only split into two small parts; the remaining nine were nominally under the Tuoba Family. In fact, they belonged to the Huangfu Ancient People. Throughout the entire process, the Huangfu Ancient People had not even paid any price. How could the Huangfu Ancient People not be satisfied with this result?

Tuoba Long said, "However, Duanmu and Zhuang Sunx hope that Huangfu Gu will send their Gao Da to sign the peace agreement. Because both sides are very clear that now our Tuoba Family has become a vassal of the Huangfu Ancient People. And the Duanmu Sect also wants to cede the Tuoba Sect’s territory in exchange with your Ancient Clan. After all, the Duanmu Sect and the Tuoba Sect have no ties, but they have ties with the Huangfu Ancient Clan."

"Hahaha, that is simple." Hua Miao Saint laughed and said, "When and where will we sign the peace contract?"

Tuoba Long hurriedly bowed and said, "Three days later, right here. We are waiting."

South of the Tuoba Sect a thousand miles away, Dragon Mountain sat among the clouds. Spiritual Energy did not disperse, and throughout the year it did not fade. This was the place where the two great armies of Duanmu and Zhuang Sunx gathered.

At this moment, nearly ten thousand Practitioners of the two great forces were in the sea of clouds.

Ten thousand people,

for the two Clans of Zhuang Sunx and Duanmu, was not a large number. But these nearly ten thousand were all top experts at the returning‑to‑original‑well Level. In particular, there were more than one hundred talents of the Holy Land. They made up one‑third of the power; they were more than ninety percent of the top experts. It could be said that apart from a few key places that had to be left guarded in their Holy Land, the number one forces of the two Clans had all secretly gathered here!

At this moment, Duanmu Liuchuan and Zhuge Feng had very serious expressions, not fond of joking. He immediately bowed and said, "Clan Leader must ask me to come, I did not dare to stay away."

Duanmu Liuchuan smiled and said, "This time it concerns the boundless territory of half of Jiangshan, and it also concerns the rise and fall of my Duanmu Clan. I had to invite Brother Zhuge out. Once such a thing happens, I would never disturb Brother Zhuge’s cultivation."

Zhuge Feng said, "Do not speak so to the Patriarch. I support the Duanmu Family. To fight for the Family is right. Besides, I see no hope of impacting the Holy Kingdom. It is only a matter of waiting for the limit to arrive, and then death."

"Divine Realm?" Hearing this, Duanmu Liuchuan could not help secretly sighing. He was also on the Ninth Floor of the Holy Land, so he should be preparing to charge into the Holy Land. In fact, it was almost impossible for anyone to break through the Holy Domain. So he had given up. As the first leader of the Duanmu Sect, he wanted to contend for hegemony on behalf of the Duanmu Sect before the limit arrived.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Liuchuan could not help looking at Zhuang Sunx Bingjun not far away. "Zhuang Sunx, Brother Zhuge has arrived. When will Xuanyun Huosheng arrive? This time, in dealing with the Huangfu Ancient People, our primary goal is to kill Hua Miao Saint and Biwu Saint. It will be decided by the four of us."

Xuanyun Fire Saint was from the boundless territory, his Fire Attribute power cultivated to the Nine Divine Skills of the extreme Holy Land. He was also the core Royal Family of the Zhuang Sunx Country, his original name Zhuangsunx Xuanyun.

Zhuang Sunx Bingjun smiled slightly and said, "Fifth Younger Brother has already infiltrated the Yonghuang territory from another direction; we can meet over there. But we must wait for the other Holy Lands and the experts of the extreme Earth Domain to secretly arrive here. The more the better. To deal with Huangfu Hao, if we do not act, then we must not act; if we act, then we must not fail to take revenge!"
