Tang Shaoyang got off the bed, yawning as he took the robe from the bed and used it to cover his naked body loosely. Then he pulled the blanket to cover his wife’s naked body.
Liang Suyin slept soundly with a satisfied smile on her face. He gave one last look at his wife’s face before going to the next room.
He stayed in the most expensive inn in the city because that was the only available place in the city. It was called the Golden Cloud Pavilion. They stayed on the highest floor. He opened the window and sat in front of it for the fresh air.
Every ti he went for a long leave like this, Elin always prepared him lunch boxes, snacks, and dozens of flasks with coffee in them.
He took out a cup and poured the coffee as he took out the snake, his favorite morning salty bread. As he took the first sip of his coffee, the last night scene replayed in his head.
It had been a while since his last intimate intercourse. He was surprised how Liang Suyin could handle him by herself. She was kinda going all out last night, so she might not wake up till the afternoon.
Maybe it has truly been a while since their last ti. He was preoccupied with a lot of things, and what happened in the Tang Garden truly killed the mood for him. The desire to kill all his enemies overca the other desires in him.
Or maybe because of Elin and Li Shuang’s pregnancy. Zhang ngyao and Kang Xue openly told him that they wanted to bear his child as well. They were jealous of Ava, now Li Shuang, and Elin.
He didn’t rember how much he ca out last night, but that was a blast. That helped him suppress his irrational mind and get rid of his bad mood for what had happened during their dinner. It still annoyed him that a snotty brat ruined his date, but he was not as angry as last night.
[Maybe what you need is your wives, not that Essence of Tranquility Breathing technique.] Vandir interrupted his morning peace with his unnecessary comnt.
Before he could say sothing back to Vandir, a figure appeared not far from the window. Ouyang Biya had changed her robe and covered her face with a black veil. Through her expression, she looked annoyed.
"Don’t give that look. If you want to bla soone, then bla that snotty brat Dongfang."
"But releasing your aura like last night for soone in the Emperor Realm is unnecessary. Your aura might alert the Heaven Founder, and they might cancel their plan. They might use their force, trying to investigate you instead."
Ouyang Biya was not wrong, and that was the reason why Tang Shaoyang quickly pulled his aura back.
"I don’t think that’s enough to stop their plan, which they have cooked for years, no? If they want to start a war, they should have prepared sothing like this, no?"
Tang Shaoyang didn’t think the Heaven Founder would cancel their plan, but they might delay their plan to investigate. He agreed with that, but if the Heaven Founder had prepared this for a long ti, they should have made a asure in case a hidden expert suddenly got involved.
Ouyang furrowed her brow; she agreed with that. This was not enough to cancel the plan, "But what if that happens? What if they suddenly cancel their plan? The ss with the Yang Clan, and now this issue. There’s a small chance they might pull their force instead."
She was not wrong about it as well. There was a small chance that the Heaven Founder might pull back.
"Then we can disguise ourselves as the Heaven Founder and destroy the Dongfang Family. You don’t have to kill all those participants, just wipe out the Dongfang Family. Isn’t that what you want?"
If the Heaven Founder canceled their plan, then they just needed to do it for them. They would announce the presence of the Heaven Founder to the Murim Alliance. He did a favor for the Heaven Founder, starting the war for them.
Ouyang Biya thought about the suggestion, and it was not a bad backup plan. Her goal was the Dongfang Family anyway.
"Then I will scour the city once more. I have found the Heaven Founder’s several hiding spots, but I haven’t found their main force yet," Ouyang Biya left the room.

Bang!
Dongfang Jinhai, the head of the Dongfang Family, slamd the table in front of him, destroying it into pieces in one hit.
"Can soone tell what happened to my son? Who dares to harm my son in Dongfang’s domain!? In my domain!?"
The guards were kneeling on the ground, lowering their heads. No one responded to the question. Not because they had not investigated what happened, but because no one rembered the person who attacked their Young Master.
Madam Dongfang was hugging her son, who cowered in the corner of his bed, hugging his knees in fear. He kept repeating the sa words.
"Don’t kill . Don’t kill ." "I’m sorry. I’m sorry." "Please don’t co for . Please don’t co for ."
He repeated those three words. Even when his mother asked him what happened, he didn’t heed her words and kept repeating the sa words.
As a mother, there was nothing she could do. She cried next to his son while asking her husband to find the culprit. She wanted to torture and execute the person who did this to her son.
"We have investigated the restaurant, including Young Master’s friends, but no one could rember what the culprit looked like. They don’t exactly rember their faces because they were suppressed by the aura. However, the culprit is a couple, a beautiful lady in a white dress and a man in a black robe. That’s the only clue we have."
The Head Guard of the Dongfang Family responded.
Dongfang Jinhai slapped his subordinate and scolded them, "Useless! Useless! How can you let people hurt my son in my territory!"
Of course, he didn’t use his internal energy, or that head might snap to the side.
Dongfang Jinhai massaged the space between his eyes. He knew this would happen sooner or later with his second son’s behavior. He was mad because this happened in his own domain.
It ant the people who attacked his second son didn’t respect the Dongfang Family. That was the reason why he was mad, not because his useless son was hurt. It was more because this might damage the Dongfang Family’s reputation if the news spread.
What made it worse, his second had turned into an idiot, "What about your people who are supposed to protect my son? What happened to them? NO! I want to see them right now!"
"I have assigned two late-stage and two mid-stage Immortal Emperors to guard Young Master because of the occasion. From the eyewitness we questioned, their story matched. The four guards were burned to ashes by the mysterious lady."
Dongfang Jinhai frowned when he heard what happened to those guards. For that woman to burn his private guards without being able to fight back. It ant the pair was at least in the God Realm, or possibly in the True God Realm.
Dongfang Jinhai waved his hand, "Whatever. I want the culprit to be found. If you find them, then imdiately report to . Report to directly, no one else understood?"
"Yes!"
Ouyang Biya shared about the Heaven Founder’s original plan. The attack was supposed to happen in the main event, on the first or second day of the main event. That was when the most talented youngsters gathered.
However, nothing happened in the first two days of the main event. The tournant continued as usual. The first day of the main event was top 128, the second day of the main event was the top 64, and the third day of the main event was the top 16.
The final day would be the last 4, semi-final, and final. The fight to decide the champion. Tang Shaoyang attended the third day of the second and third days of the main event.
The Heaven Founder didn’t attack, different from what Ouyang Biya told him. There were three possibilities.
First, the Heaven Founder might change their plan after Ouyang Biya’s death. Second, they delay the attack because of him. Third, they canceled the plan because of him.
From those three possibilities, he leaned toward the first possibility. They might have changed their plan because they needed to move their force, reorganizing their force again since they lost one of the Guardians.
The final day of the main event arrived. There would be four matches for the last day, the semi-final and final for the Dragon and Phoenix Clash. Today would be the day when a Phoenix and a Dragon of the Murim Alliance were chosen.
Today was not only him and Ouyang Biya. The others finally ca out and decided to watch the final. It might be the only ti that this tournant was worth watching.
Ashley dyed her ashy hair, and Aleesa used a cloak to cover her pointy ears. Everyone ca to watch the final under Yang Bo’s recomndation. Watching a cultivator fight might help them to gain enlightennt.
Although the reason they were out was not that they were interested in the tournant. They just want to have fresh air rather than staying in that isolated space.
The Yang Clan’s people liked to be there because that gave them a sense of security. They were fine with that, but not with the people who followed Tang Shaoyang.
They wanted to experience what the Sacred Realm looked like. Watching the final of the Dragon and Phoenix was just part of that experience.
All of them brought snacks with them. Aleesa, Ashley, and Kate seed to share the sa taste buds. They had three pieces of cake shaped into flowers. Each of them was ready with their snacks as the last eight participants for both categories went to the stage.
Cheers erupted when they made an appearance, which was then followed by the Head of the Dongfang Family to deliver his speech before the final day started.
