Jian Tong and Ran Qi encountered powerful opponents and were forced to flee. The nine emperor servants appeared, first driving off Jian Tong's foe and then assisting Ran Qi against his attacker. However, they revealed Jian Tong and Ran Qi were not their targets before departing. Ran Qi then fought Huo Boy, who seemed conflicted about his animosity towards Xiao Yi. Huo Boy warned Yan Yi that something was wrong before being overwhelmed by the returning emperor servants and escaping. Yan Yi, confused, decided to head to the Blood Flame Realm.

"A rather blatant Taixu Palace," the Heavenly Secret Hall Master remarked coldly.

Wind Brake Hall Master stated in a frigid tone, "Besides the three individuals, Meng Piao Piao, a multitude of cultivators from our Blood Flame World were present that day and can vouch for the events."

"If this situation escalates, I, this old man, shall disregard Xiao Yi's counsel and personally march to Taixu Palace to demand an explanation."

Shura Hall Master furrowed his brow, "Is it that Huo Boy, who was once locked in a fierce battle with our Xiao Yi, now barely able to stand against an ancestor?"

"Even with considerable talent, his growth rate should not be this rapid."

The Hunter Monster Hall Master directed his gaze toward Yan Yi, inquiring, "You mentioned his expression was erratic and peculiar, as if he were a different person?"

Yan Yi nodded, "It felt as though he was being controlled."

"However, my perception indicates this is impossible."

"If I cannot ascertain whether my opponent is under control, then Yan Yi has no right to speak."

"That's right." Yan Yi suddenly recalled something. "The feeling Huozi gave me wasn't that he was controlled, but rather his temperament was volatile."

"In my perception and judgment, there was no abnormality about him."

"It's as if there are two spiritual senses within his body; yes, that's the sensation."

The Hunter Hall Master frowned, "This is most peculiar. I, this old man, have never encountered such a phenomenon and cannot make a definitive judgment."

Just as the eight elders pondered and strategized their course of action.

A rumor, traveling at an astonishing speed, cascaded through the void, causing it to detonate.

This single sentence comprised the rumor: The Blood Flame World has colluded with the underworld monsters, intending to destroy the void.

This brief statement transformed into a circulating rumor, instantly inflaming the sensitive nerves of all factions within the void and thrusting the Blood Flame World into the eye of the storm.

Within the main hall of the Boundary Lords Mansion.

Bang...

The Wind Brake Hall Master slammed his hand on the table, shattering it instantly.

"Scoundrels! We haven't even settled the score with Taixu Palace's Sword Boys, and now they're attacking us?"

The Hunter Demon Hall Master narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing within them, "Are you certain this rumor originated from Taixu Palace?"

"Indeed." The Fengcha Hall Master affirmed, "Moreover, it appears Taixu Palace has no intention of concealing it, instead disseminating it widely."

"Precisely because this rumor is not baseless or untraceable, stemming as it does from the martial arts holy land of Taixu Palace, it has instantly become news that countless forces and beings believe and even affirm."

"Bastards!" The Heavenly Secret Hall Master cursed furiously.

"Taixu Palace is clearly seeking conflict with our Blood Flame World."

The Yandian Hall Master abruptly stood, "Let our Miss Yan Yi maintain vigilance over the Blood Flame World; we shall proceed to Taixu Palace."

Shura Palace Master's eyes narrowed slightly, "Heh, before that, I suspect our troubles will arrive first."

Outside the hall.

A Xueyan guard hurried over and respectfully reported, "Greetings, Palace Masters. Messengers from all major universes have arrived. Do you wish to summon them?"

"Hmph." The Hunter Demon Palace Master let out a cold snort, "Little Xiao Yi truly predicted this."

"The emissaries from the Seven Great Horizons will undoubtedly arrive."

Shura Hall Master stated in a deep voice, "Little Xiao Yi also left a message. He said something along the lines of: The danger to the void is imminent. The Seven Heavens are watching from the sidelines. Should we, the Blood Flame Realm, handle it alone and resolve it in our own way? Why must they now offer unsolicited opinions?"

"The Wind Brake Hall Master waved his hand, "Let them enter. This old man wishes to see what face they have to speak."

"Yes." The Xue Yanwei turned and withdrew.

After a considerable pause.

Nine elders strode in swiftly.

Among the nine individuals, seven held positions in Tianyu, and the remaining two were deacons from Taixu Palace.

All of them were at the Emperor level and were solely tasked with delivering messages.

However, their standing within the entirety of the endless void surpassed that of Void Emperors who governed their own territories. Even the suzerains and sect masters of major sects and powers would offer them three points of courtesy.

This was because they represented the formidable forces behind them: the Seven Heavens and Taixu Palace.

"Blood Flame Realm Masters..." The nine elders offered their salutations before cupping their hands.

Indeed, the inquiry from the nine messengers was solely about the creatures from the underworld. The eight elders offered their indifferent responses.

Several days passed.

In Wushu Tianyu, at the Wushou Tiangong.

Meng Piaopiao bowed respectfully, inquiring, "I wonder why the Master urgently summoned this disciple back...?"

Emperor Wugou's expression was grave as he solemnly asked, "Are you aware of the Blood Flame Realm?"

Meng Piaopiao responded with confusion, "What does Master mean by that?"

Emperor Wu Gu's tone was majestic, "Have you learned about those monsters from the underworld?"

Meng Piaopiao shook her head, disclosing, "Initially, I was unaware."

"It was only during my confrontation with that sword youth that I first became cognizant of the existence of these underworld monsters."

Emperor Wugou nodded, his imposing demeanor softening. "It's understandable that you wouldn't know in advance."

Wu Gu Tiandi lightly shook his head. "No wonder Xiao Yi, that fellow, uttered those cryptic words that day."

"One can only hope that the Blood Flame Realm and our Seven Heavens do not become adversaries in the future."

"I never imagined that his actions would actually mobilize the monsters of the Netherworld."

"While I am uncertain how he managed to command the underworld's creatures, there is no doubt that these monsters possess immense power."

"Based on your description of these beings, old man is almost completely convinced that those are..." Wugou Tiandi's tone suddenly turned icy.

"What are they?" Meng Piaopiao pressed.

A flicker of deep-seated animosity crossed Wugou's face as he stated coldly, "The Emperor's Servants, the three hundred strongest warriors led by the nine Reincarnation War Emperors."

"They were once the most formidable force at the disposal of the former Underworld Emperor, the very beings who aided him in his conquest of the void."

"There was a time when the Underworld Emperor, with these three hundred Emperor's Servants, nearly conquered the heavens. Fortunately, the first generation Soul Emperor arrived just in time, averting disaster for this heaven."

"This heaven exists today precisely because of that intervention."

Within Wanhuangtianyu, the first generation Old Sky Emperor was the predecessor of Yinlihuang.

"Three hundred Emperor's Servants?" Meng Piaopiao's eyes widened in shock.

Wugou Tiandi declared coldly, "More than half of these three hundred were once formidable cultivators from the great heavens, and some even hailed from the void. All were powerful beings who held significant renown during that era."

"The Overlord was one of them."

"All these exceptionally powerful creatures were subdued by the Underworld Emperor, subsequently captured, and then transformed into his loyal subordinates through the law of reincarnation."

Wu Gu Tiandi's brow creased suddenly. "That kid Xiao Yi has taken an exceedingly perilous gamble this time, an incredibly dangerous move that has courted disaster."

"Why is that?" Meng Piaopiao inquired.

Wugou Tiandi replied with a deep voice, "The term 'underworld' is a profound taboo for virtually all beings across the endless void."

"This stems from the terrifying shadow that the monstrous entity known as Hades cast upon the entire endless void in those bygone years; his power was simply too overwhelming."

"The Seven Heavens can withstand any other form of danger and confidently confront any crisis; however, when it concerns Hades, anything related to him represents an absolute red line for the Seven Heavens, an extremely sensitive matter."
