#1921 - See through the enemy's mind
Jun Wu Xie emerged from the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, his divine sense spreading out to encompass the entire city of the Ninth Fortress.
The city remained as it always was, with nothing out of the ordinary.
“Could it be that those young masters from beyond the realm have not yet arrived in this world?
Why would those few prodigies from beyond the realm be so well-behaved?”
He had been in secluded cultivation for quite some time, and during that period, those prodigies had not caused any trouble, which he found rather strange.
Whether it was the prodigies from beyond the realm or the Black Ji Clan, everything seemed as still as a stagnant pool of water.
With the day of the Ultimate Secret Realm's opening approaching, logically, there should have been some activity.
He thought for a moment, then used the Minor Void Technique to conceal his presence and quietly left the city.
Only by going to that secret land could he further assess whether those people were truly being well-behaved.
Before long, he arrived once again at that secret land deep within the mountains.
It was extremely quiet here, without the slightest sound or movement.
However, as he approached the World Rift, he did not see a single person.
The prodigies from beyond the realm who used to guard the path to the rift were nowhere to be seen.
He quickly approached and arrived before the path to the realm.
After searching briefly with his divine sense, he discovered traces left behind by a dozen or so people.
Prodigies from beyond the realm, plus the ancient ancestors of the Black Ji Clan and the Mu Yang Clan—were there others as well?
He looked towards the path within the rift, gazing at it for a moment.
“It seems that those young master-level figures have most likely already descended into this world.
The traces left here are not old; perhaps they only arrived in this world recently.
With young master-level figures from beyond the realm descending, yet those people remaining so honest and docile, not causing the slightest ripple within the city, it seems they intend to stir up trouble in secret.”
Jun Wu Xie couldn't help but ponder.
The young masters from beyond the realm had descended silently, presumably having already entered the city.
They were being inconspicuous, concealing their identities and disguising themselves well.
Those prodigies from beyond the realm were also silent and still.
He couldn't help but speculate about the intentions of the young masters from beyond the realm.
Their purpose in coming to this world was to deal with him, and their current temporary silence was definitely not a break from their busy schedules; they must have some kind of plan.
“I'll go back and assess the situation.”
Jun Wu Xie did not linger and returned the way he came.
Not long after he returned to the residence prepared for him by the You Yu Clan, the You Yu Clan's ancestor and two ancient ancestors arrived in haste.
“Judging by your expressions, has something happened?”
“Lord God, Ji Feng has emerged from seclusion!
Just now, we received secret news that Ji Feng has emerged from the small secret realm where he was in seclusion.”
Upon hearing this, Jun Wu Xie couldn't help but pause slightly, then said, “I'm afraid it's not secret news.”
“What does Lord God mean by that?”
The You Yu Clan's ancestor and ancient ancestors revealed expressions of doubt.
“Why did Ji Feng enter seclusion back then?
Of course, he had the goal of breaking through to the God Realm, but at the same time, he was also hiding from your You Yu Clan.
Why would he choose to emerge from seclusion now?
The opening of the Ultimate Secret Realm is only a few days away, and once the secret realm opens, I will enter it and not be in the city.
Why wouldn't he choose to emerge from seclusion then?
That way, even if your You Yu Clan came knocking, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
Furthermore, Ji Feng's position within the Black Ji Clan is extraordinary.
Under normal circumstances, even if he emerged from seclusion, only the top echelons of the Black Ji Clan would likely know.
Why would this news be discovered by you?”
“So, they did it on purpose?”
After a moment of slight contemplation, the You Yu Clan's ancestor and ancient ancestors said, “Their doing this is likely under the instructions of someone from beyond the realm; otherwise, with just the Black Ji Clan, even if they were given the courage, they wouldn't dare to openly oppose you, Lord God!”
“Go and prepare, and go to the Black Ji Clan to demand justice for the You Yu Clan.
The Black Ji Clan deliberately leaked the news of Ji Feng's emergence from seclusion at this time in order to lure your You Yu Clan to their doorstep.
They know that I am within your clan and will definitely not stand idly by, so their target is me.”
“But, Lord God, if they are being instructed by someone from beyond the realm, and they have planned this scheme, they must have something to rely on.
Some time ago, Lord God suppressed the prodigies from beyond the realm in a battle, and others from beyond the realm witnessed it firsthand.
They know how powerful Lord God is, yet they still dare to do this, so we must be wary!”
“It's fine. Notify the Lan Qin Clan and the Heng Qi Sect, and call upon Yu and Qin to go to the Black Ji Clan.
You go first; when it's time to act, I will naturally act. As for the people behind the Black Ji Clan, you don't need to be afraid.”
“Alright!”
The You Yu Clan's ancestor and ancient ancestors left in haste.
Now, only Jun Wu Xie was left here again.
His expression was calm, his eyes deep, and he slowly closed his eyes, gradually releasing his soul realm.
His divine sense perception rapidly increased, covering the entire city, searching among hundreds of millions of people.
Gradually, he locked onto several targets.
There were a total of four people, with ordinary appearances and nothing particularly outstanding about them.
However, he sensed a special aura within these four people's bodies.
These four people had hidden and concealed their original auras very well, condensing a great deal of the world's spiritual energy within their bodies in order to disguise themselves, even changing and disguising their appearances.
“I've found you.”
Jun Wu Xie muttered softly to himself.
Those four people should be the young master-level figures from beyond the realm.
The divine law energy dormant within their bodies was vast and pure, their life essence vigorous, and the divine laws they cultivated were slightly more complete compared to the cultivators of this world.
Because the Heavenly Order of the True World was complete, the levels of the laws they comprehended in that world were slightly higher compared to this world.
If their realms, aptitude growth strength, and the laws and divine abilities they cultivated were all comparable, then cultivators from the True World would be stronger than cultivators from this world.
Subsequently, he continued his search with his divine sense, and when he covered the Black Ji Clan, he discovered the prodigies from beyond the realm within their clan.
There were a total of seven, and they were staying together with the ancient ancestors of the Black Ji Clan.
In addition to the seven of them, there were also several ancient ancestor-level powerhouses from the Mu Yang Clan.
He also sensed a faint, almost imperceptible special aura.
It was in the deepest part of the Black Ji Clan's territory.
That should be their clan's forbidden area.
“That's a person wearing dark red battle armor. He doesn't seem to be from the Black Ji Clan, and the aura on his body feels very strange to me.
He tried to peek into his body, but he failed.
That person had special laws on his body that blocked his divine sense.
“My divine sense is blocked, and I can't see through his realm either.
What is this person's background?”
Jun Wu Xie frowned slightly.
This mysterious person hidden deep within the Black Ji Clan's forbidden area was definitely extraordinary.
“Based on the current situation, the four young master-level figures from beyond the realm are hiding their identities and letting those seven prodigies from beyond the realm go to the Black Ji Clan.
Could it be that they are planning to use those seven prodigies to test me?
If that's the case, unless I suffer severe injuries, or their people are in dire straits, they won't show themselves.
These young masters do have some brains; they are acting cautiously and carefully. They are worried that I have trump cards they don't know about, and this time they want to probe my bottom line.
By doing this, it seems they don't plan to make this the primary battlefield.
Judging by this, they are most likely choosing the Ultimate Fortress as the location.
With the help of the Black Ji Clan, it won't be difficult for them to enter the Ultimate Fortress.”
… …
At the same time, the Lan Qin Clan and the Heng Qi Sect, having received the notification, had already arrived before the You Yu Clan's clan holy hall.
The leaders of the Lan Qin Clan and the Heng Qi Sect were the ancestors, grandmasters, ancient ancestors, clan leaders, and sect masters, all of whom were Semi-God Realm powerhouses.
Following them were the clan and sect's high-level figures, as well as direct bloodlines, true disciples, and so on.
Yu and Qin also emerged from the secret realm.
During these days, they had lived very comfortably in the secret realm, casting aside all worries, staying together day after day, living a life that envied no immortal.
Now, coming out of the secret realm, they were suddenly pulled back to reality.
A hint of sharpness had appeared on Yu's face, no longer the gentle-eyed, smiling face he had worn every moment when he was with Qin during these days.
A trace of worry was hidden between Qin's brows.
She knew that this trip to the Black Ji Clan would definitely not end peacefully.
With Ji Feng and the Black Ji Clan's shamelessness, they would not admit it at all, and even if they could not deny it and had to admit it, they would still have a strong attitude.
This also meant that fierce conflicts would erupt between the guardian clans.
Today, perhaps someone would perish.
She only hoped that the You Yu Clan and her own clan's people would not suffer losses as a result.
“Ancestor, how confident are we?”
Although Yu very much wanted to resolve the grievances of the past and avenge the beheading of that year,
he did not want his clan's people, Qin's clan's people, and the powerhouses of the Heng Qi Sect to bleed because of him.
This was not a small-scale incident; once they fought, it would be a confrontation between clans!
“Yu, don't think about anything; just seek justice for what happened to you back then!”
“But…”
“I said, you don't need to worry about anything else. This time, we are fully confident that we will be able to seek justice for you.”
The You Yu Clan's ancestor interrupted Yu, causing all the words he wanted to say to be stuck in his throat.
“Alright.”
Yu nodded, then looked at the Lan Qin Clan and Heng Qi Sect's powerhouses, bowing deeply, “Thank you to the seniors of the Lan Qin Clan and the seniors of the Heng Qi Sect for coming to help.
Yu will definitely remember your kindness!”
“No need to thank us; you will be our Lan Qin Clan's son-in-law in the future.
Besides, we were the ones who were sorry to you back then, not knowing the truth and agreeing to Qin's marriage to that despicable villain, Ji Feng.”
“The past is gone; what should be taken up should be taken up, and what should be let go should be let go. You will all be family from now on, so there's no need to be so polite.”
The Heng Qi Sect's grandmaster stroked his beard while smiling, “Our Heng Qi Sect has always been close to your You Yu Clan.
"The Black Ji Clan has embarked on a path of no return. Ji Feng is ruthless and ungrateful, despised by all. It's only natural that we help you; you don't need to dwell on it."
"Everyone, let's go! To the Black Ji Clan!"
The ancestor of the You Yu Clan said, and then he soared into the sky.
The others followed closely behind.
Yu and Qin were in the crowd, holding each other's hands, fingers intertwined, gripping tightly.
Soon, he would face Ji Feng, the brother he grew up with, also the enemy who killed him, and even stole his wife!
Yu's body trembled slightly with excitement.
Sensing his state, Qin intertwined her fingers with his even more tightly.
