Within the Fifth Family.
Diwu Qingrou sat in a chair, facing a situation chart in front of him, silent.
For the past few days, he had been studying this, sitting at the table for an entire day.
"The heaven's secret has become completely chaotic. It is impossible to predict."
Diwu Qingrou sighed.
His eyes were fixed on the situation chart, his brows knitted deeply into a 'ĺ·ť' shape, and after a long time, he helplessly sighed, "No solution!"
He forced a bitter smile, "I suppose Chu Yang is also having a splitting headache right now... But the current situation is genuinely unsolvable. There is no other way aside from a violent breakthrough."
"This situation seems simple, but it fully utilizes the pride, arrogance, and reputation of top experts! The strength on Chu Yang's side... the disparity..."
At this thought, Diwu Qingrou's eyes lit up, murmuring to himself, "Actually, it is not unsolvable. Because there is still a huge variable that hasn't appeared here on the Nine Heavens Continent. That is Ning Tianya... If... if he were to come once it starts, with both internal and external forces, this situation could be resolved! But... will they consider Ning Tianya as a variable? Or... will Ning Tianya arrive in time?"
"In that case, <Shuhai Pavilion> Ning Tianya will definitely come."
"The will of heaven is chaotic!"
Diwu Qingrou sighed deeply, furrowing his brows as he sat back in his chair, lost in thought.
"If Chu Yang were to lose here, the great plan of the Fifth Family would turn to ashes... But at present, it seems there is not the slightest hope of victory on Chu Yang's side... Unless, unless that mysterious woman's cultivation level has really reached a stage capable of destroying half a continent..."
……
In a distant place.
This is a mysterious location, shrouded in clouds and mist throughout the year.
The figure of Master Law Sovereign in black floated down from the mist, followed by another figure equally clad in black.
Floating indistinctly, like a shadow of Master Law Sovereign; yet the aura it exuded was even more powerful than that of Master Law Sovereign, startling those who beheld it.
"Brother Wu, this place is quite nice, isn't it?" Master Law Sovereign said lightly, smiling calmly.
"Not bad. Here, the formation shields the heaven's secret, effectively avoiding divine punishment," the shadow replied淡淡. "The divine punishment is weakened by seventy percent when passing through here!"
"Brother Wu must have been tested under divine punishment countless times; I truly admire you. I have never endured divine punishment before, and I genuinely want to know what that feels like," Master Law Sovereign said with a faint smile.
"If you don’t want to leave here right now, it’s best not to do so," the figure in black said, his voice slightly heavy. "Once you withstand the divine punishment, you must shatter spirit and break the void to enter that magical place! At that time, if you forcefully remain, you will have to endure divine thunder every hundred years, just like I do now!"
Master Law Sovereign sighed. "Brother Wu's resolve is truly admirable."
"It’s not so much about resolve; it’s just that I haven’t avenged my great hatred!" The figure in black floated in the mist, uncertain and ethereal, but his voice carried deep hatred. "As long as the nine calamity sword master remains, I, Wuzhuo City, swear not to ascend to the heavens! Master Law Sovereign, I will help you this time, but next time, I will only act for the nine calamity sword master!"
"I am already immensely grateful that Brother Wu can help me this time," Master Law Sovereign laughed.
"It’s hard to find an opponent! This mysterious woman has indeed piqued my curiosity. And my battle intent," the mysterious figure was naturally Wuzhuo City, a descendant of Chenfeng!
From within the swirling black mist, two pitch-black eyes shot out, and Wuzhuo City said gravely, "My ancestor once warned me that in this world, there is a woman who must not be provoked. It is highly likely that the woman you are encountering is that very woman."
