Southern Heaven Realm!
This time, he calculated the changes in the Heavenly Realm's major trends, and was horrified to discover that, within the river of destiny, the fortunes of the entire Heavenly Realm were slowly converging towards the Southern Heaven Realm.
"It's actually the Southern Heaven Realm where our Zhuge family is located!"
Pfft!
Zhuge Rulong suddenly groaned, spat out a mouthful of blood, bleeding from his seven orifices. His breath weakened again, his life force dissipated, and his eyes slightly unfocused.
He was once again struck by backlash, severely injured.
"Ancestor!"
The nearby Zhuge Yao and others were shocked and fearful. What was happening? Didn't the ancestor say it was fine? Why was he suddenly in danger again? Was this another backlash? And the figure he saw during his previous calculation, why did it look so familiar?
"It's nothing, this is the necessary backlash, not enough to be fatal!" Zhuge Rulong shook his head, recovering.
Although he said this, he was secretly alarmed in his heart. How terrifying, just calculating the major trend of the Heavenly Realm almost cost him his life here. He couldn't continue the calculations, otherwise, he might lose not just his lifespan but would fall on the spot.
This time, Zhuge Rulong dared not continue the calculations.
"The Southern Heaven Realm, this is an opportunity for our Zhuge family."
Zhuge Rulong's eyes suddenly shot out divine rainbows. From his calculation of the future, he knew that changes were going to happen in the Southern Heaven Realm, which represented what? There were only two possibilities. One, that young man was already in the Southern Heaven Realm, or two, he was highly likely to appear there.
The major trend of the Heavenly Realm was caused by that young man. No matter which one it was, his Zhuge family occupied the advantage of the home ground.
"Hear my command," Zhuge Rulong said in a deep voice. "Immediately seal off the border cities of the entire Southern Heaven Realm, especially the core city of Southern Dipper City. It must be fully sealed off. Any young experts arriving from the void tidal sea must have their backgrounds thoroughly investigated. Those at the level of Saint Master and above must be reported to me."
Everyone was shocked. What was the ancestor planning to do?
"Ancestor, this might be inappropriate. Although our Zhuge family is a top force in the Southern Heaven Realm, it's not yet our turn to lead. What if we provoke dissatisfaction from other forces..." Zhuge Yao carefully reminded.
"Hmph, can't you use your brain? Because of the Demon Tribe's Demon Venerable, the borders of the four great Heavenly Realms are already sealed off. Our Zhuge family, as one of the top forces in the Southern Heaven Realm, naturally needs to share the burden for the Heavenly Realm, dispatch some experts to cities like Southern Dipper City to cooperate in sealing it off. Is this difficult?" Zhuge Rulong coldly said.
The crowd nodded. That was indeed a good idea. If they relied solely on the power of the Zhuge family, it would be impossible to seal off the entire Southern Heaven Realm, but cooperating with the orders of the top forces of the Heavenly Realm, it would be simple.
"Moreover, we must do this discreetly, not excessively, be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, especially not letting some top forces of the Heavenly Realm notice any clues."
Zhuge Rulong added.
The crowd was puzzled. On one hand, the ancestor wanted to seal off the cities, on the other, he wanted to ensure top forces of the Heavenly Realm didn't find out. Wasn't this too difficult?
Soon, many top experts of the Zhuge family received orders and dispersed, but Zhuge Yao didn't leave.
"Zhuge Yao, do you have anything else?" Zhuge Rulong asked in a deep voice.
"Ancestor, I have something to report. During your calculation of the destiny path earlier, there was a figure that seemed familiar to me. I seemed to have sensed it during a previous calculation." Zhuge Yao immediately said.
