Next breath.

A wave of sorrow welled up in the heart.

In front.

Cui Fu was already in tears.

"Divine King... The Divine King has fallen!"

His voice trembled.

The voice fell.

The race mourns together.

At this moment.

All the cultivators of the Zhongshan Clan already knew the news of their Divine King's demise.

"The Divine King has fallen!"

"I never thought the Sky Peak Divine King would actually fall!"

Shen Changqing's face also showed sadness.

It wasn't that he was truly sad, but having borrowed Zhongshan Chou's origin, the origin's sorrow naturally manifested on him.

Just now, that wailing sound.

Was the mourning of Candle Sect's fortune.

Candle Sect has its fortune; Zhongshan Clan has Zhongshan Clan's fortune.

But.

Strictly speaking.

The fortune of Candle Sect is derived from the fortune of Zhongshan Clan; the two are originally one, and the fortune of Zhongshan Clan is the main directive.

Now with the demise of Zhongshan Clan's Divine King, the entire fortune of Zhongshan Clan has fallen significantly.

As a derivative of Zhongshan's fortune, Candle Sect's fortune naturally declines as well.

Forcing away the wave of sorrow, Shen Changqing's face was grave: "With the fall of Sky Peak Divine King, it is feared that chaos will soon ensue. Closely monitor the movements of all clans; report any major changes immediately."

"Yes!"

Cui Fu, at this moment, also wiped the tears from his face.

Having just become a being of Zhongshan Clan, it was naturally impossible for him to be so sorrowful over the fall of a Divine King that he fell into tears.

Such changes.

Purely due to the bloodline of Zhongshan Clan working its influence.

Just as the Divine King fell, some emotions could not be contained, but for a cultivator of Saint Entry Perfection, it's impossible not to control one's emotions; now that the sorrow has subsided, he can recover.

Just as Cui Fu was leaving.

Boom!!

A terrifying aura that shattered the void erupted from within Candle Sect.

In an instant.

The Candle Sect mountain range, changes in wind and clouds.

The disciples did not have time to thoroughly wipe away the traces of tears from their faces; their expressions dramatically changed as they looked up at the firmament.

There is the wrath of a Divine King!

Only to see countless golden lights emanating from the void, with vast power rampantly surging.

Then.

A cool voice echoed into the ears of all Candle Sect disciples.

"All Candle Sect disciples, heed my order, remain on standby within the sect, without fail!"

"Yes!"

All Candle Sect disciples, upon hearing the words, bowed toward the source of the voice.

They understood.

The fall of Sky Peak Divine King completely enraged the Divine King stationed at Candle Sect.

Next.

There is sure to be another bout of bloodshed. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

However.

Thinking of the Divine King's demise, all disciples belonging to Zhongshan Clan had a suppressed anger in their hearts; now with the Divine King's wrath, it's clear that action will be taken against other forces, which for them, actually aligns perfectly with their desires.

"With Sky Peak Divine King fallen, Mi Shui Divine King enraged, it seems this battle is inevitable!"

In the side hall of Qiu Peak, Shen Changqing listened to this voice and sighed quietly.

Right now, he truly did not wish to be caught in the turmoil, only wanted to convert all existing resources into treasures that could enhance his strength, then proceed to other affairs.

However.

Reality did not grant him time.

Orders from the Divine King.

At this time, Candle Sect disciples have no way to defy the orders; if they do, at best they face severe punishment, at worst execution.

Even if awakened to the Eyes of Time, Shen Changqing does not wish to provoke a Divine King's wrath and see if the counterpart would have the heart to obliterate a future powerhouse of Zhongshan Clan.

The fall of Sky Peak Divine King.

Currently, the Divine King of Candle Sect is in a stage of rage.

If one were to clash with them now, it surely wouldn't end well.

Unless.

Shedding Zhongshan Chou's identity, then that's a different matter.

But this thought, was merely fleeting, soon extinguished by Shen Changqing.

"Commanding all Candle Sect disciples to standby, likely isn't leading to the Void Battlefield; likely simply heading to a sect on the Eternal Ancient Continent, after all, the Void Battlefield is filled with countless strong beings, ordinary Candle Sect disciples entering would meet their death instantly.

If the battle is on the Eternal Ancient Continent, then the issue is not significant."

Upon thinking this, his previously tense mind was slightly eased.

Since the danger was reduced, even participating in the battle may not necessarily pose a problem.

Moreover.

With himself reaching God Realm Fourth Level Perfection, combined with the Eyes of Time, perhaps even God Realm Eighth Level could be slain, and even if not slain, it still holds a fighting chance.

In this manner, the survival rate is considerably increased.

With these thoughts, Shen Changqing simply refrained from overthinking, peacefully remaining atop Qiu Peak to recuperate and await time's passage.

——

In a certain Void Battlefield.

Four Divine King powerhouses were fiercely battling.

One among them was Zhongshan Dongxuan, who mastered the Divine Kingdom, and with a wave of Divine Soul, could annihilate millions of miles of void; even three Divine Kings combined were forced to retreat step by step.

Just at that moment.

A strong fluctuation came.

The four Divine Kings seemed to sense something, their expressions varied.

"With Sky Peak Divine King fallen, Zhongshan Dongxuan, you have ultimately failed!"

Duankong Divine King from the White Jade Clan laughed heartily, his voice full of delight, and a scarcely detectable ease.

The Lieyang Divine King fell by the opponent's hands, causing a significant decline in strength for the White Jade Clan.

Now Yan Emperor acted, also slaying a Divine King from Zhongshan Clan, balancing things out.

In this way.

The task of intercepting Zhongshan Dongxuan by the trio was fully accomplished.
