Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1873 - 1125: Something Major Happened (Part 2)

Netherworld Lady shook her head, reached out, and caught the Communication Talisman. As a surge of information flooded her Sea of Consciousness, her complexion turned extremely serious.

"What’s wrong?" Shangguan Jie noticed the change in her expression and asked.

Ming Gu took a deep breath, her eyes filled with shock, and said, "Heavenly Constitution Road has made a move. Just two hours ago, three Taoist envoys from the Heavenly Constitution Road broke into the Land of Heavenly Destiny of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion!"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jie and Yi Shang’an widened their eyes in shock.

The Land of Heavenly Destiny was the core Grotto Heaven of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. The outsiders were not sure how many Grotto Heavens the pavilion had, but the Land of Heavenly Destiny was definitely the most important and core Grotto Heaven.

The Land of Heavenly Destiny was where destiny resided, and the most important heritage, the Heavenly Destiny Altar, was located within it.

It was said that the Heavenly Destiny Altar was a Spiritual Treasure, capable of peering into the will of heaven and probing fate. It was the core of all Taoist traditions in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

If Heavenly Constitution Road truly broke into the Land of Heavenly Destiny, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion might lose the Heavenly Destiny Altar, and without it, the pavilion would no longer be the same.

"How is that possible?" Shangguan Jie was incredulous.

"The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion excels at deducing future events; how could they fail to foresee such a catastrophe?" Yi Shang’an found it equally unbelievable.

"Heh, they can only calculate others, not themselves!" Netherworld Lady sneered coldly.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was adept at deducing, but their calculations could only target others, not themselves.

Therefore, they loved snatching opportunities from others.

After their initial shock, Shangguan Jie asked, "Did the Sect send a message with any tasks?"

Ming Gu sighed and nodded helplessly, "Yes, the Hall Master wants us to return to Inconstant Land immediately. Heavenly Constitution Road’s actions must be disrupting the whole Wanhua Domain, so we need to discuss how to handle the upcoming changes!"

"What about here? Are we not continuing our search for the Yang family?" Shangguan Jie asked.

"The Yang family is merely a minor enemy. If there were no issues, we could toy with them, but now that such a major incident has occurred, we don’t have time to waste on the insignificant Yang family!" Ming Gu’s tone was filled with disdain for the Yang family.

"If we had known this, we wouldn’t have wasted time here!" Yi Shang’an shook his head lightly.

In fact, they took this mission with a relaxed mindset; they did not regard the Yang family as significant, and their patience here was due to treating this as a time to unwind.

Although the Implacable Ghost Sect was fiercely battling the Wanhua Demon Court, internally, particularly in the Soul Hooking Hall, things were relaxed, as the battles with the Wanhua Demon Court concerned the Soul Refining Hall and Soul Control Hall, not Soul Hooking Hall.

"Let’s go, the Hall Master must be waiting for us to return!" Ming Gu spoke and was the first to step into the Void and depart.

Yi Shang’an and Shangguan Jie followed closely behind.

Not long after their departure, three other figures emerged from the clouds not far away.

These three were not the departed Ming Gu, Yi Shang’an, and Shangguan Jie, but Yang Zhenshan, Xuanzhen, and Lin Qihe.

"Did you find anything?" Yang Zhenshan frowned and asked.

"No!" Xuanzhen’s eyes flashed gold as he continuously scanned his surroundings.

Yang Zhenshan’s eyes were colored black and white, with black as pitch darkness and white as bright white.

These were the Eyes of Life and Death, one governing life, the other death. Whether living or ghosts, they could hardly escape his scrutiny.

But at this moment, he found no signs or anomalies, neither Golden Core Cultivators nor notable individuals.

"Strange, Qingyu just said those three were right here; how could they disappear so quickly?" Lin Qihe scanned the surroundings but found nothing.

They had arrived earlier, but first went to Wanbao Immortal City to find Yang Qingyu, asking her to sense the aura of those three Golden Core Cultivators.

Just two hours ago, Yang Qingyu had said those three were nearby, but after observing briefly in the Void and then appearing to investigate, they found nothing.

"Could Qingyu’s senses be wrong?" Xuanzhen doubted Yang Qingyu’s sensory ability.

"It shouldn’t be!" Lin Qihe defended.

Yang Zhenshan surveyed the area, his gaze focused on a patch of cloud, "Qingyu’s senses are accurate; those three just left!"

Saying this, he moved to where Netherworld Lady and the others had been.

"There’s still a trace of aura; they left not long ago!"

Xuanzhen’s eyes glowed with golden light as he found a slight trace, "Odd, did they know we were coming and decided to leave?"

Yang Zhenshan flashed into the Void, but the aura dissipated even faster there, leaving no remaining trace.

He returned to the physical world, "Judging by the residual aura, it must be the Implacable Ghost Sect!"

"However, they probably didn’t know we were coming; something else must have forced them to leave!"

The aura from the Implacable Ghost Sect was very distinct, filled with Evil Qi and bloodthirsty Qi. If only one person carried such aura, they might not be from the Ghost Sect, but with all three Golden Core Cultivators having it, they must be members of the Ghost Sect.

"The Implacable Ghost Sect truly embodies evil persistence." Lin Qihe’s expression turned sour; he harbored a deep-seated enmity toward the sect, causing significant harm and casualties over the years, yet the sect remained formidable.

He had intended to confront the Implacable Ghost Sect, yet they had come knocking first.

Yang Zhenshan glanced around calmly and said, "We will eventually eliminate the Implacable Ghost Sect!"

Previously, he wouldn’t have dared make such a statement, but now he had the qualification.

Half-step Enlightenment was his greatest confidence.

Though he couldn’t compare to the seasoned old masters yet, he had the confidence to challenge them.

Lin Qihe looked at Yang Zhenshan in surprise, Xuanzhen was also taken aback, "It seems your recent retreat was quite fruitful!"

They were unclear about Yang Zhenshan’s strength and cultivation level; they knew he was strong but did not grasp the specifics.

Though they were aware Yang Zhenshan defeated the Yellow Springs Ancestor, they didn’t understand the details of the battle, hence his actual power was unknown.

Yang Zhenshan didn’t explain further, saying, "Let’s go, we’ll discuss more after returning!"

The trio then headed back to Wanbao Immortal City, only to find it in chaos upon arrival.

The news of Heavenly Constitution Road attacking the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion spread like a storm across the Wanhua Central Domain, and Wanbao Immortal City was rocked to its core.

Countless people were debating the matter in streets and taverns, rushing about with solemn expressions, all tense and panicked.

That was Heavenly Constitution Road!

The true overlord of Wanhua Domain.

With even Heavenly Constitution Road intervening, who could avoid the looming chaos?

Anyone with common sense understood that the upcoming Wanhua Domain would plunge into upheaval, claiming numerous lives.

Not even Golden Core Cultivators could ensure survival amidst such turmoil, let alone Foundation Establishment and Qi Refinement Cultivators.

Yang Zhenshan learned of this from Li Janning, who hurried back to the Yang family mansion upon their return from outside the city.

"Master, Master, big news!" Li Janning called out urgently.

"What news?"

"People say Heavenly Constitution Road wiped out the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion!"

"What!" Yang Zhenshan looked at Li Janning as if she were speaking nonsense.

"It’s true, many in the Outer Sect are discussing it, and the whole atmosphere in Wanbao Immortal City has intensified!" Li Janning confirmed.

Yang Zhenshan’s brows furrowed, his Spiritual Sense dispersed discreetly across surrounding streets, confirming Li Janning’s statement; everywhere in Wanbao Immortal City, the topic was hotly debated.
