Wen Ping tasks the 32 Demon Gods with establishing the Limitless Knowledge Pavilion's authority in the Red Domain while emphasizing neutrality. Meanwhile, the furious Red Domain Master, Jun Tianyi Gu, discovers the Immortal Sect has killed his disciples and insulted his authority. Enraged, he orders the Immortal Sect's annihilation by a million Divine Shadow Army, led by Vice Domain Master Han Li.

Domain Lord's Mansion.

A multitude of Immortal Daily newspapers were promptly delivered into the Domain Lord's Mansion.

These papers were subsequently sorted and distributed to various sections within the expansive Mansion.

In mere moments, every individual within the Domain Lord's Mansion would be in possession of an Immortal Daily.

What Jin Busan had witnessed earlier would soon be known by others throughout the Domain Lord's Mansion.

When a copy of the Immortal Daily was brought to Han Li within the Divine Nether Hall.

Han Li held the publication, his composure shaken for a significant duration, only settling as he read the headline word by careful word.

He finished reading!

The Immortal Daily was torn asunder by a sudden surge of Vein Qi!

Shredded pieces of paper drifted to the floor, replaced by a look of resignation on Han Li's visage.

"With a Five-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan behind this Immortal Sect, the Domain Master may need to reconsider his stance."

Having spoken, Han Li turned his gaze towards the window.

Outside, high in the heavens, vast formations of the Divine Shadow Army continued their assembly.

The arrow was poised, ready to fly.

And considerable force was being mustered.

However, the one who was to launch this arrow would surely decide against it.

The Domain Master differs from him in his motivations.

He is guided by a sense of right and wrong.

Acting against the Domain Lord's Mansion is deemed wrong.

Aligning with the Domain Lord's Mansion is considered right.

Yet, the Domain Master disregards the notions of right and wrong, prioritizing instead the calculus of benefits and detriments.

Given the presence of the Five-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan, any transgressions by the Immortal Sect could be overlooked.

A mere handful of deaths.

The public humiliation of Di Chen.

Even Di Chen's demise could be disregarded.

Abruptly, the voice of Jun Tianyi Gu resonated from outside the chamber.

"Have you read today's Immortal Daily?"

Inside the Divine Nether Hall, Han Li, alongside other commanders of the Divine Shadow Army, promptly knelt on one knee.

"We welcome the Domain Master!"

"We welcome the Domain Master."

Jun Tianyi Gu entered the hall, a rolled-up Immortal Daily in his grasp.

Noticing the fragments scattered on the floor, Jun Tianyi Gu inquired, "Is there a method to ensure coexistence with the Immortal Sect while proceeding with the troop deployment?"

Han Li slowly regained his footing.

He understood the Domain Master's underlying objective.

The prestige of the Domain Lord's Mansion must be preserved.

The Immortal Sect, as a valued partner, also warrants protection.

The goal was to achieve both objectives!

Han Li responded, "Domain Master, given the current circumstances, we might only be able to alter the original directive for the Divine Shadow Army's deployment."

"How do you propose we change it?"

"We should shift the Divine Shadow Army's mission from outright annihilation of the Immortal Sect to its protection."

In this particular situation, this strategic maneuver would be the sole means of upholding the Domain Lord's Mansion's dignity.

The million-strong Divine Shadow Army itself serves as a potent symbol of authority.

Their deployment would be reoriented to safeguard the Five-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan from the Immortal Sect, a gesture of gratitude for his invaluable contributions to the Red Domain.

This action would preserve the Domain Lord's Mansion's standing while simultaneously cultivating the Immortal Sect's goodwill.

"Proceed with your plan. Contact the representatives at the Ever-Knowing Tower in Supreme City and inform them that tomorrow's Immortal Daily headline will announce the million-strong Divine Shadow Army's deployment to Star Sword Mountain for the protection of the Immortal Sect. Whatever the cost, the Domain Lord's Mansion will meet it," Jun Tianyi Gu declared. "Today, find some operatives from the Stealth Tower who are concealed within Supreme City and display their corpses at the east gate for ten days! Additionally, ensure the Ever-Knowing Tower prominently features this event in tomorrow's Immortal Daily."

"I will see to it immediately."

Han Li acknowledged with a nod.

Jun Tianyi Gu added, "Furthermore, you are no longer required to accompany the Divine Shadow Army on their expedition; remain here to oversee the defense of Supreme City."

"Does the Domain Master intend to meet the Immortal Sect Leader within Supreme City?"

"Precisely."

Jun Tianyi Gu readily agreed and promptly departed the Divine Nether Hall.

Once Jun Tianyi Gu had exited, Han Li directed his attention to the Divine Shadow Army leaders positioned behind him.

"Go and apprehend several of our most crucial agents, and display their lifeless bodies at the east gate by noon."

"Issue the command; accelerate the mobilization of the Divine Shadow Army."

"Locate individuals from the Ever-Knowing Tower and bring them to the Divine Nether Hall to meet with me."

Three decisive orders were swiftly dispatched!

Having issued his commands, Han Li resumed his seat, closing his eyes in calm repose, though his breathing was heavy.

A profound sense of indignation churned within him!

Despite acknowledging the wisdom of the Domain Master's stratagem, he harbored a deep resentment at being manipulated by the influence of a mere sect.

After a brief interval.

Han Li finally came to terms with the reality of the situation.

He let out three resigned sighs!

...

Jianshui City.Ever-Knowing Tower Branch."Inform them that a response will be given after an incense stick burns," Chen Xie declared, promptly utilizing a Sound Transmission Stone to reach Wemping.At that very moment, Wemping was in the process of selecting the subsequent group of demons destined for the Final Forbidden Area.Upon receiving the transmission, he quickly retrieved the Sound Transmission Stone from his pocket."Sect Leader."Chen Xie's voice emanated from the stone."What is it?" Wemping inquired."Two matters. Firstly, the Domain Master has already departed Supreme City, en route to Heaven Ascending Plateau. Secondly, personnel from the Divine Shadow Army have contacted our people, indicating a strong desire to offer a substantial sum for tomorrow's Immortal Daily headline. Sect Leader, should we demand a high price or a modest one?""His personal journey to Heaven Ascending Plateau, stemming from the discovery of the Immortal Sect's Five-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan, explains his haste," Wemping elaborated. "A high price. It must be a high price! The higher, the better. With Jun Tianyi Gu personally heading to Heaven Ascending Plateau, the era of reversal is drawing near. Securing a significant quantity of White Crystal from the Domain Lord's Mansion at this juncture offers greater advantages."Chen Xie grinned shrewdly upon hearing this, "Sect Leader, your subordinate understands!"Without delay, Chen Xie procured another Sound Transmission Stone and established contact with those in Supreme City."Inform them that the Ever-Knowing Tower lacks the authority to determine the price, as it requires Sect consideration. Request their patience."Following this declaration, Chen Xie severed communication with the Supreme City contingent.He then turned back to Wemping, inquiring, "Sect Leader, would ten million White Crystal be an appropriate figure?""It is perfectly suitable," Wemping chuckled.It seemed Chen Xie was adept at learning from others' methods.His skill in extortion was developing rapidly.Commencing with a demand of ten million!Upon hearing the Sect Leader deem the amount appropriate, Chen Xie's spirits soared, imbuing him with bold inspiration."Sect Leader, I shall proceed with vigor then.""By all means," Wemping replied, shaking his head with a laugh.After storing the Sound Transmission Stone, Wemping's laughter subsided.Once the Demon King's demons were assembled, Wemping made his selections and returned to the Sect.Jun Tianyi Gu's personal departure to Heaven Ascending Plateau signaled the imminent commencement of hostilities with the Red Domain Lord's Mansion.This also implied that the time for confrontation with You Country was at hand.The Earth Unrestricted Experts continued to maintain their positions!It was time for another visit to the Undead Hell.After dispatching a hundred Demon Kings into the Final Forbidden Area, Wemping returned to Tingyu Pavilion.And once more entered the Undead Hell.Upon his re-entry into the Undead Hell, Wemping materialized at the very location where Dark Stream Annihilation had been apprehended previously.Several hours of continued searching thereafter yielded no results.Nevertheless, Wemping's patience remained steadfast.He proceeded with his search at a leisurely pace.Returning to Chen Xie's perspective.Chen Xie abstained from providing any immediate response to the Divine Shadow Army, deliberately fostering their anxiety.Chen Xie's objective was to compel them to wait.This anticipation would, in turn, drive them to offer a higher price.Coincidentally, the Domain Lord's Mansion was prioritizing efficiency at this time.Thus, while the leaders of the Divine Shadow Army stewed in their impatience, Chen Xie continued his operations, transporting Demon Gods to various branches of the Ever-Knowing Tower.Time crawled by in this manner.Meanwhile, an unexpected conflict erupted within the confines of Supreme City.The skirmish was brief in duration.However, the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of Divine Shadow Army soldiers caused considerable alarm among the populace of Supreme City.To the citizens, the cause of the commotion remained a mystery.It wasn't until noon, when ten infiltrators from the Stealth Tower were publicly displayed, hanged at the city gates, that the truth became apparent.It transpired that personnel from the Stealth Tower had managed to infiltrate Supreme City!This revelation sent shivers down the spines of many.Stealth Tower infiltrators had successfully breached the Red Domain.A place previously believed to be secure was, in reality, fraught with unseen dangers.
