Wen Ping learns about the brutal nature of the wider world, where weaker realms are plundered by stronger ones. He discovers that Qiyun Celestial, a nearby realm, has a Primordial Vast Realm expert, posing a significant threat to Heaven-Gazing Gorge's concealment. Wen Ping realizes the need for advanced defenses and begins searching for world-class concealment buildings, though their high cost is currently out of reach.

Can’t always rely on the concealment array in Tian Wuxin’s hands, can we?

Besides.

As long as no one is bored to death, they wouldn’t appear within the hundred-thousand-mile radius of Heaven-Gazing Gorge, right? After all, Heaven-Gazing Gorge is at the corner of the map.

Wait!

Wenping was taken aback.

He suddenly realized a problem.

He seemed to have always overlooked the strength and current state of the concealment array in Tian Wuxin’s hands, especially after hundreds of years.

The reason he hadn’t thought about this issue before was that he didn’t know the severity outside the Heaven-Gazing Gorge, nor had he unlocked world-class building construction features. Now, knowing the outside situation, he suddenly worried what if the concealment array in Tian Wuxin’s hands had greatly diminished in effectiveness after hundreds of years?

“System!”

Wenping hurriedly called out.

The system responded, “No record, the system cannot obtain detailed information or status. Unless the host can observe it closely.”

“It shouldn’t be what I thought.” It’s not like a novel; how could it be so coincidental that the concealment array fails just after knowing the situation outside Heaven-Gazing Gorge?

Thinking too much.

Not really.

Currently lacking three million fame points, I can accumulate them in a hundred days to build a Heaven-covering Tower, just a hundred days. What kind of accident could occur?

Putting away his thoughts, Wenping turned off the system interface, continued refining Primordial Vast Power, not daring to delay for even a minute, and simultaneously awaited the completion of the Celestial Control Array.

…

Days passed, and in just three short days, under the leadership of seven or eight Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm figures from Zhetian Tower, Zhetian Tower’s army advanced unstoppably, progressing a thousand miles each day.

All resistors were slaughtered. As more Heaven Unrestricted strongmen fell under Zhetian Tower’s army, people’s will to resist grew weaker and weaker. Despite reluctance, they had no choice but to abandon their homeland and retreat toward the Central Divine Domain.

As more forces began to retreat, a vicious cycle started. People willing to resist and defend their homeland grew fewer still, not to mention that Zhetian Tower had too many Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm fighters participating, while Geng Country had only dispatched one Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm defender.

In desperation, Si Haixian was forced to order the erection of a defensive line at the Beize Domain and Central Divine Domain border, and had the Divine Shadow Army retreat to Central Divine Domain to prevent unnecessary sacrifices.

Since the war had just begun, lost territory could be reclaimed later, but if too many Divine Shadow Army elites were sacrificed, future wars would be increasingly hard to fight.

Simultaneously, Si Haixian directly moved the camp to the Beize Domain and Central Divine Domain border, showing a resolute determination not to retreat.

But the current situation is clear to anyone with a broad vision: as long as the Immortal Sect doesn’t step in for a day, Zhetian Tower army’s advance can’t be stopped.

One Si Haixian is to no avail.

Even ten Si Haixians would be useless.

Meanwhile, Weisheng Xingyu, who had been resting in the dormitory area for several days, opened his eyes, stood energetically, and eagerly took out the Sound Transmission Stone.

“Elder Chen, help me locate someone. I want to know where he is now, as quickly as possible.” The Immortal Sect is busy at this moment, and Chen Xie, as the head of Jin Zhi Tower, surely has various matters to attend to, so he didn’t want to bother him for something contaminated with cause and effect.

Chen Xie inquired, “Recovered from injury?”

“Yes.”

“Really?”

“I’m sure!”

“I don’t believe it unless you come to Jin Zhi Tower for me to see. You’re our sect’s precious member; if anything happens, the Sect Leader will be devastated.” Chen Xie continued, “Hurry over; I have something needing your prediction, to foretell fortune or doom.”

“Are you sure?”

“Sure!”

After saying this, Chen Xie severed the connection.

Then muttered to himself, “What’s there to be unsure about? If the prediction says great fortune, I’ll interpret it as great misfortune. If it says great misfortune, then it’s great good fortune!”

When Weisheng Xingyu arrived at Jin Zhi Tower, Chen Xie thoroughly examined him from top to bottom several times, ensuring there were no physical issues before asking, “Did you kill Zeng Qi?”

“Yes, yes, he was one of them.”

“I know. He was on the list you gave me before entering the Final Forbidden Area. I’m curious, what method did you use to kill him, life technique?”

“Curse technique, different from life technique; life technique saves people, curse technique kills.”

“Curse technique… killing invisibly!” After murmuring a few words, Chen Xie’s eyes sparkled, and even his address changed, “Brother Weisheng, we really need talented people like you at Jin Zhi Tower. Join us, and I’ll help you avenge, eliminate all who harmed you and your daughter.”

Jin Zhi Tower often needs to act or kill without revealing traces. But regardless, as long as Jin Zhi Tower acts, there will definitely be clues.

If not found, it’s incompetence.

But there are always skilled individuals who can detect from hints that it’s Jin Zhi Tower’s doing, necessitating Chen Xie to eliminate witnesses every time.

Yet sending someone to eliminate witnesses increases exposure risk; surely he can’t kill them afterward? Unless each time he sends trusted confidants to eliminate exposure risk, but where would he amass so many reliable confidants in a short time?

Consequently, Chen Xie didn’t give Weisheng Xingyu a chance to refuse, straightaway saying, “Who do you want to kill next? Tell me. Apart from Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm and Half-Step Primordial Vast, I’ve assigned Black Shadow to track others. Only a few lost track, but for others, as long as you want to find them, I can immediately inform you of their location.”

Hearing this, Weisheng Xingyu froze momentarily, as the whitelist copied was merely a request for Chen Xie to investigate their backgrounds.

Nothing more.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xie had tracked them all for him.

“Alright, if needed, just let me know.” Weisheng Xingyu is not someone who doesn’t repay kindness; whoever is good to him, he’ll surely reciprocate.

Chen Xie was delighted, “Brother Weisheng, from today onward, you’re my brother! But there isn’t anything needing your help now. Will ask when necessary. Currently, urgently requires fortune-telling on whether Jin Zhi Tower’s invasion plan can proceed smoothly.”

Zhetian Tower’s large-scale invasion of Geng Country presented an opportunity for infiltration. However, neither does he intend to take a direct approach this time, given Tian Wuxin and Nalan Muhong’s alliance.

Thus, he plans to adopt a stealthier method, assassination. Of course, he isn’t planning to assassinate all six-star influence leaders, just some.

Simply put, kill half, leave half, causing chaos behind Zhetian Tower. The plan is thoroughly crafted, yet plans generally can’t keep up with changes, necessitating a life technique prediction.

Weisheng Xingyu didn’t decline; since Chen Xie trusted, he predicted.

Moments later, the prediction was settled.

Great misfortune!

“Great misfortune, Brother Chen, perhaps you should be cautious…” Weisheng Xingyu was about to advise, but Chen Xie suddenly beamed with delight.

“Hahahaha… Brother Weisheng, thank you!”

Great misfortune, stable, stable!

Reacting to this, Weisheng Xingyu’s face instantly fell.

What does he take him for?

Before Weisheng Xingyu could speak in anger, Chen Xie hijacked the conversation, saying, “Brother Weisheng, tell me who you want to kill; I’ll immediately inform you of his whereabouts.”

“Chen Xie!”

“Chen Xie, oh, he is…”

Chen Xie’s smile gradually froze.

Moments later, Weisheng Xingyu left Jin Zhi Tower with a gloomy face, heading straight to the Teleportation Array, returning to the Beize Domain battlefield again.

Two days later, the 108th-ranked Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm cultivator Yue Long from Zhetian Tower’s Celestial Ranking died suddenly on the battlefield’s frontline. Despite three Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm figures present, they could not fully save Yue Long’s life. This news led to numerous rumors spreading across the battlefield.

Because Yue Long’s death was too baffling.
