I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

In the skies outside the Capital City of Da Yue Country, a figure quietly approached, seamlessly blending into the clouds, undetected even by Emperor Da Yue himself.

Because Immortal Heavenly Venerables are in harmony with Domain, possessing the ability to govern a piece of Domain, it is very difficult for an Immortal Heavenly Venerable to remain hidden and deceive other Immortals.

Let alone to silently infiltrate a Domain governed by an Immortal Heavenly Venerable.

Yet someone had done it!

"Interesting."

Li Xuan was somewhat surprised. The power behind Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow was truly deserving of its reputation, controlled by a being stronger than Immortal Heavenly Venerables.

The person in the clouds was an Immortal Heavenly Venerable—I/weaker than Emperor Da Yue, yet stronger than Sui Hongwu.

Among the Immortal Heavenly Venerables, he was not the strongest, but neither was he the weakest.

His face was covered with a murky mask, etched with seven leaves.

"Seven-leaf Heavenly Slaughter? No, that's not right. Little Ha mentioned the Ferocious Mask, not a murky one."

His gaze settled on the black robe worn by the individual. This garment carried a whiff of Dao Rhythm within it.

It was this reason that separated the figure from the Domain Power, remaining unnoticed by the Immortal who governed this piece of Domain.

"This garment could not have been made by an Immortal Heavenly Venerable; it has to encapsulate a thread of Dao Rhythm to work."

Li Xuan could be certain that this garment was crafted by the power behind Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, bestowed upon these Heavenly Slaughters for their missions.

Beyond the robe, this Immortal Heavenly Venerable was also highly skilled in the art of stealth.

The assassin, like a shadow within the clouds, drifted over the skies of Capital City of Da Yue Country, scoured the area, and set his sights on the Qimen Institute and the Alchemical Medical Institute.

The individual didn't strike immediately, but waited quietly, as if for the right moment.

"If he were to approach the royal palace of Da Yue Country, even with the robe's concealment, he couldn't hide from Emperor Da Yue. However, at this distance, if no Immortal Heavenly Venerable intervened, his single blow would kill everyone in the Alchemical Medical Institute and Qimen Institute."

Li Xuan watched with interest, saying nothing.

Then, looking up at the Firmament, he murmured, "I wonder how the power behind the scenes compares to mine now, with them not being in the Divine Realm."

He sneered, "Although I'm only in the Void-breaking Realm, I might not be able to kill one with a single slap, but that does not necessarily mean they are my match.

"Dare to target my disciple? When my strength increases, I'll let them know the consequences of provoking a superior!"

"Huh, this Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow is quite sly."

Suddenly, Li Xuan raised his eyebrows in surprise.

An Immortal Heavenly Venerable from the Nine Mountain Realm had come to visit Emperor Da Yue, seemingly on an urgent matter.

Feng Yan's eyebrows shot up in amazement, "Why has Ping Qiu from Broken Dawn Mountain come? What has happened?"

Broken Dawn Mountain, one of the Nine Mountains of the Nine Mountain Realm—with Ping Qiu being an Immortal Heavenly Venerable from there.

"Should we go and see?"

Feng Yan was curious.

"No, we can't leave!"

Taking a deep breath to quell his curiosity, he continued his vigilant watch.

"Brother Ping Qiu, what brings you here?"

Emperor Da Yue received Ping Qiu.

"Emperor Da Yue, something big has happened."

Ping Qiu's face was a picture of grave seriousness.

Emperor Da Yue asked curiously, "What major event has occurred? Is it turbulence in the Heavenly Grotto of the Nine Mountain Realm that needs support?"

"It's not about the Heavenly Grotto."

Ping Qiu took a deep breath, his expression solemn as he said, "Emperor Da Yue, have you heard of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow?"

Emperor Da Yue looked puzzled, "Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow? I have not heard of it."

Ping Qiu disclosed information about Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow's plans, perfectly matching the intelligence Little Ha had brought back, even including some bits that Little Ha had not known.

Emperor Da Yue was taken aback, "Is this true?"

"Absolutely certain!"

Ping Qiu's expression grew even more somber as he revealed another piece of information that shocked Emperor Da Yue.

"Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow seems to have secretly reached an agreement with the Heavenly Grotto, calm has returned to the Heavenly Grottoes of the Nine Mountain Realm, and some enemies from beyond are retreating from the Heavenly Grotto.

"Moreover, Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow will soon cause significant chaos in the Divine Realm."

Now Emperor Da Yue was truly alarmed.

Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow conspiring with the Heavenly Grotto—were they planning to collaborate internally and externally, utilizing outside forces to achieve Unity of Domain?

Following Ping Qiu's arrival and the intelligence he provided, shock waves ran through the ranks of the Immortal Heavenly Venerables. After delivering his message to Emperor Da Yue, Ping Qiu hurried off to Tianwu Sect and Myriad Thunder Sect.

"This Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow doesn't care if its plans are exposed. They only have one goal—to plunge the Divine Realm into chaos.

"Whether it's mutual slaughter or unifying to root out Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow... "

Li Xuan sighed internally; Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow was a group of fanatics.

Driven by their so-called Unity of Domain, and to restore the glory of Domain, they have become somewhat frenzied.

"Has the time still not come? What are they waiting for to strike?"

Li Xuan glanced toward the assassin hidden among the clouds.

Several days later, Ping Qiu returned, this time from Myriad Thunder Sect.

This sequence of actions dispelled the suspicion of Emperor Da Yue and others, making them believe he truly came to pass on critical knowledge.

"Quite clever indeed."

Li Xuan nodded in acknowledgment, his curiosity piqued about what the duo's next move would be.

Two Immortal Heavenly Venerables—one profoundly hidden and the other out in the open. Could they be targeting him, preparing for an ambush?
