It was true that scouts from the Divine Imperial Universe had been hiding here for some time. Those were the most skilled scouts from the Divine Imperial Universe. Even though He Yue’s subsidiary bodies were everywhere, they were not all-powerful. It was not surprising that the scouts were only found out now.

Yan Zhen had already gained a clear picture of the Heaven Reverse Universe two years ago. Jun Hongye had gone back and told Yan Zhen the situation here. Jun Hongye also joined hands with the other families to create a scene to request the Yan Family offer compensation. After all, too many people were sacrificed this time. The team of over one hundred Semi-God Realm warriors was almost completely annihilated.

The sacrifice included many Family Patriarchs, including two from the Mage Imperial Universe, the Feng and Qi Family progenitor warriors, and the Li Family Patriarch.

Those families were scared. They invited their elder warriors who were cultivating in the Prison of Ice, Prison of Darkness and Prison of Soul back to take command while working with others to protest at the Divine Imperial Universe.

Those families were hired by the Yan Family to send warriors to the Heaven Reverse Universe. They thought this was a small place with probably not even one Semi-God Realm warrior. They believed this large team was enough to make a clean sweep. However, the outcome was complete annihilation.

The families only gained some Divine Sources at the cost of many top-level powerful warriors. Naturally, those families felt injustice. The families dispatched messengers to the Divine Imperial City to request an explanation from the Yan Family.

Yan Zhen was deeply troubled. The families weren’t resorting to violence. They all sent messengers with lesser abilities but more seniority. They spent their days in the Divine Imperial City, crying. They were pounding the desks, and sometimes they would foam at their mouths in a fit of anger, and some even passed out every now and then...

Yan Zhen knew that they were not really seeking explanations but more interests.

However, the Wicked Bead was not acquired. Per their agreement, the number of Divine Sources was set. This time, the Yan Family’s efforts were all in vain. Not only did Yan Family lose many Divine Sources, but several Semi-God Realm warriors. Yan Zhen felt a heartache.

Therefore, Yan Zhen did not come to meet the messengers himself. He sent some patriarchs of the family to negotiate with those old messengers. At the moment, all the families were greatly undermined. They could hardly look after themselves, let alone working together to confront the Yan Family.

Yan Zhen freed himself from such affairs. His entire mind was focused on obtaining the Wicked Bead. He had Relic armors and weapons and was not afraid of the immortal’s body. He was wondering how many Semi-God Realm warriors he should bring with him? Or should he use some Divine Sources to bribe some warriors in the Prison of Primordial Chaos to go with him?

After a while, he decided to bring two Semi-God Realm warriors in a secret mission to the Heaven Reverse Universe. Not only was Yan Zhen interested in the Wicked Bead but also the immortal’s body Lu Li had in control. Yan Zhen believed that his status in the nine universes would never be shaken if he could have the immortal’s body.

That being said...

A few days after he left the Divine Imperial Universe, he was informed that Chen Tianxian brought dozens of Semi-God Realm warriors and hundreds of Earth Immortal Realm warriors and invaded the Divine Imperial Universe. They came with ill will and was going to attack the Divine Imperial Universe.

Yan Zhen had to hurry back at such news. The elder warriors from many major families were still in the Divine Imperial Universe. Though they were not capable warriors themselves, they could collaborate from within with forces from outside. On the off chance that the Divine Imperial City was breached, the Yan Family would be doomed.

After Yan Zhen came back, he noticed Chen Tianxian didn’t do anything rashly. He stayed in a city. Clearly, he was here to negotiate.

Yan Zhen felt like a heavy load was released from his mind. The world did not know that Chen Tianxian had become Lu Li’s soul slave, and neither did Yan Zhen. All the Semi-God Realm warriors that were with Chen Tianxian were murdered by Lu Li. When Lu Li hunted down Jun Hongye, the latter didn’t run into Chen Tianxian.

Though Jun Hongye had some suspicions, he did not share such. Of course, it was also possible that Jun Hongye had learned the truth but did not clarify it. He sat around while Chen Tianxian confronted the Yan Family so he could stand to gain as well.

Yan Zhen was more cautious now. He couldn’t leave. He had to stay and bargain with the families. He unwillingly promised to offer the families some Mystical Materials and treasures as compensation. But what Chen Tianxian wanted was Divine Sources. Both parties had reached a stalemate...

There was another thing that made Yan Zhen unable to go down to the Heaven Reverse Universe for three years. He could not contact Yan Tiangang.

Yan Zhen was going to ask about the origin of the immortal’s body and report to Yan Tiangang the situation of the Heaven Reverse Universe. However, Yan Tiangang had been out of reach. He must be busy with some things.

The nine universes were going through a complicated period of time. The death of Semi-God Realm warriors undermined many families. The passing of Wu Guangde made the Wu Family hang by a thread. The death of Qi and Feng Family progenitor warriors cost the Central Imperial Universe. The Leng Dynasty was gone. The comprehensive strength of the Central Imperial Universe was weakened.

...

“A fight has broken out!”

A month later, Yan Zhen was startled. He was sitting in a place. His eyebrows were raised as he shouted, “Why the rush? Who are fighting?”

“The Mage Imperial Universe and the Central Imperial Universe!” A patriarch explained, “Chen Tianxian and Brother Six of the Feng Family quarreled for a reason I don’t know. Then, Chen Tianxian killed the latter. Now, the Mage Imperial Universe and Central Imperial Universe are fighting. Half of the Divine Concession City is ruined. Family Patriarch, please go and take control of the situation or else all the civilians in the Divine Concession City will die.”

“Eh?”

Yan Zhen had been on the look-out in case Chen Tianxian ganged up with the others to attack the Divine Imperial Universe. Now they were having an internal strife? Warriors from the Mage Imperial Universe and Central Imperial Universe were fighting each other?

Yan Zhen didn’t hurry to the Divine Concession City. He paced up and down in the palace. Later, he grinned and said, “Send a message to the civilians of the Divine Concession City. Let them evacuate. Let Chen Tianxian do whatever he wants.”

“But...”

The patriarch blinked in disbelief. Let Chen Tianxian have his way in the Divine Imperial Universe? How many civilians would be implicated in manslaughter? What if they were putting on a show, and their real intention was to hatch a sinister plot against the Divine Imperial Universe?

Yan Zhen waved his hand and said, “Go and send my words. You don’t have to worry about anything else. Monitor them and report to me as soon as possible.”

Yan Zhen had been living for hundreds of years, going through many things. He could see through many plans. Of the original three major families in the Central Imperial Universe, Leng Family was forced back into their ancestral ground by Lu Li. Feng and Qi Family lost many warriors, and their strength was sapped. Clearly, the big piece of cake that was the Central Imperial Universe was being coveted.

In the Mage Imperial Universe, the Wu and He Families were undermined as well. Inevitably, Chen Tianxian and the other family were seeking to annex the Wu and He Families. This time, the four families from the Mage Imperial Universe had joined hands to attack at the Central Imperial Universe?

Obviously, the four families of the Mage Imperial Universe had reached a consensus. They would occupy the Central Imperial Universe, and the four families would divide the two universes up amongst them. In this way, all of the four families would be benefited. He and Wu Families would not be annexed.

As long as the target was not the Divine Imperial Universe, Yan Zhen would never care about the life and death of the Feng and Qi Families. The more chaotic the nine universes were, the more the Divine Imperial Universe would stand to gain. That being said, Yan Zhen couldn’t afford to go to Heaven Reverse Universe. The situation was changing fast. He must stay command in the Divine Imperial Universe to protect the interests of the Yan Family.

More importantly, he could not contact Yan Tiangang. Yan Zhen planned to wait for the nine universes to stabilize and establish contact with Yan Tiangang. Then, he could set off for the Heaven Reverse Universe.
