When the Candle Sect set off to attack the White Jade Sect, the news spread quickly.

Although Candle Sect is located in the Myriad State Domain, and White Jade Sect is in the Heavenly Phenomena Domain, the distance between them is not just millions of miles.

Yet there are Messaging Jade Tokens.

The news can often spread completely in the shortest possible time.

Immediately.

White Jade Sect made corresponding deployments.

"Immediately summon the disciples outside to return, strengthen the defenses of every city, and make sure that Candle Sect has no opportunity to exploit."

Duankong Divine King returning from the Void Battlefield, had a face as dark as water.

He didn't expect.

He'd encounter such a situation so soon after coming back, with not even a moment to catch his breath.

In the battle at the Void Battlefield.

Though he returned alive, his earlier self-detonation had heavily depleted his Primordial Energy, needing a thousand years at least to recover.

To still retain strength at the Sun and Moon Divine King Level now was already a blessing.

Compared with Martial Sect, their Universe Divine King had perished directly in the Endless Void.

Recalling that scene.

Duankong Divine King felt lingering fear.

Fortunately!

Fortunately, Zhongshan Dongxuan's target wasn't him, but the Martial Sect Master.

Otherwise.

He would have had no chance of survival.

A Universe Divine King was directly slain in the Endless Void, let alone himself, a mere Sun and Moon Divine King.

Therefore.

Regarding the Martial Sect Master's death, he felt some mourning, but far more relief.

He thought.

After narrowly escaping disaster this time, he could peacefully recover at the White Jade Sect, not involve himself in the clans' muddy waters for now.

However.

Now he must face the impending Candle Sect attack.

Such an outcome could only make him angry.

Following the order's issuance, many Elders bowed and left.

Soon.

The hall held only a few people.

Then.

A tall young man, with a resolute expression, clasped his fists and said earnestly: "Divine King, the Candle Sect's current momentum is fierce, and Mi Shui Divine King is powerful.

He once slew a Dushan Clan Divine King of the same Realm in the Void Battlefield.

Should we send word to Yan Emperor, have him return just in case?"

Though he looked young, his words were quite steady.

His speech carried a timeless weariness.

Upon hearing this.

Duankong Divine King shook his head: "Yan Emperor is currently in the Void Battlefield and cannot return for now; Sky Peak Divine King's demise has driven Zhongshan Clan into madness.

Zhongshan Dongxuan is too powerful, and without Rule Divine King to constrain him, our side's other Divine Kings might be in danger."

The strength of the Zhongshan Clan made even him feel nervous.

In the past.

They never showed extraordinary strength; though having the title of a clan, their overall strength was average within clans.

However.

Since the Zhongshan Clan gained two Rule Divine Kings, their power soared, reaching the upper tier among clans.

Such power.

If they truly went mad with killing, other clans would struggle to resist.

In truth.

If it weren't for the presence of Zhongshan Dongxuan, the Beiyue Clan's side would have already been completely defeated.

Thanks to that Dongxuan Divine King serving as a disruptor, the Beiyue Clan's side managed not to fall entirely, pushing the battle into further deadlock.

"Two Rule Divine Kings are indeed strong, but I still want to see how he will achieve a breakthrough in the future!"

After a cold snort.

Duankong Divine King glanced at the Elders in front of him.

"Mi Shui Divine King will be handled by me; don't worry overly, even if I'm not at peak form now, I won't tolerate an upstart's arrogance.

You must ensure that all other cultivators from Candle Sect are exterminated.

This time, I shall ensure they come and never return!"

——

On the firmament, the longboat continued its journey.

Shen Changqing's storage ring vibrated lightly, and he retrieved the Messaging Jade Token from within.

His Divine Sense descended.

Having received the corresponding message.

After reading the information, his calm face showed an imperceptible fluctuation.

"Candle Sect's intelligence capabilities seem quite adequate; they even infiltrated the Heavenly Phenomena Domain!"

Shen Changqing pondered silently.

Moments ago in Qingyu City, a Candle Sect disciple sent word, saying the city was already on lockdown, clearly prepared for battle, cautioning him to be careful.

Concerning this message.

He didn't pay too much attention.

If prepared, then prepared they were.

With his own foundation, even if facing a tenth-layer God Realm expert, while he couldn't contend, escaping would be feasible.

Unless.

A Divine King intervenes.

However—

With Mi Shui Divine King overseeing the situation, it's unlikely any Divine King would bypass him to target Shen Changqing directly.

On the Void Battlefield, that might happen.

But within the Eternal Ancient Continent, a dignified Divine King attacking a fourth-level God Realm is somewhat disgraceful.

Bullying the weak.

Fearing a genius yet to mature.

After all, Divine Kings have pride; they probably wouldn't commit such acts.

But.

It's not impossible for a Divine King to act shamelessly.

Zhongshan Clan wouldn't watch a genius adept in the Eyes of Time perish so casually.

Due to this connection.

Shen Changqing wasn't overly concerned.

Every matter carries inherent risk, merely varying in magnitude.

If one feared at every turn, cultivation would lose its significance.

Time passed.

The Pursuit Shuttle moved swiftly; though the distance between Heavenly Phenomena Domain and Myriad State Domain was vast, after traveling for two days, it finally entered the Heavenly Phenomena Domain's range.
