The God of Void and the Holy Son followed the Great General to the south fortress. Their arrival in the south had been witnessed by hidden cultivators living in the southern territory. The mont the great general arrived with two n, he treated them as if they were soone above him.
The cultivators who were watching all reported to their sect about the arrival of Wang Xiajie and the Holy Son, An Juejing, to the south.
"The Great General had returned!"
"Who was that with him?"
"Fuck! Isn't that the Holy Son of the Profound Sect!? An Juejing!"
"It's really Holy Son, An Juejing!"
"Go report it now! The Profound Sect has gotten ahead of us!"
"Damn Liars! No wonder they didn't want to join the plan of sending soone to the Divine one in the borderlands. They've already sent one!"
"Hey! Sothing is falling."
"Falling where?"
"Look up!"
THUD!
One of them caught the round thing that had fallen in their group. When they saw that it was the severed head of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Illusion Sect, everyone was terrified.
AHHH!!
"Fuck! They knew we were here!"
"Retreat! Go back to the floating island!"
The cultivators lurking in the south region had all left that day. They carried the severed head of the Heavenly Illusion Sect Master back with them.
The hidden soldiers who were watching over these cultivators appeared before the great general.
"Should we pursue them, Lord General?"
"No need. This ti the entrance of the Cultivators shall be forbidden," commanded the Chief Warden.
The hidden guard saluted and said, "Yes, Lord General!" As they once again disappeared, continuing their job as hidden guards.
Not far from them, the God of Void and the Holy Son were enjoying themselves at the market, buying food like penghulu and noodles. They didn't act differently than mortals living their lives as usual. So store owners even teased them.
"Oh my~ what a cute couple~"
"Thank you, Grandma~," said Holy Son An Juejing as he received the apple tanghulu from the old lady.
The grandma selling tanghulu said to Wang Xiajie, "Son, your wife is gorgeous." In the eyes of these mortals, An Juejing is a Ger that was married to Wang Xiajie.
The God of Void didn't respond vocally but smiled a bit. The grandma seller knew that the relationship between this young couple must be good; moreover, both of them were handso. What eye candy!
The two of them walk around the market with the great general watching from a distance. He chose not to beco a light bulb between the two. Obviously, his lord is treating this holy son quite a bit as Lord Hei. He didn't question his lord's actions and just watched from a distance.
Warden Yun Ming appeared beside him with his usual gentle smile.
"Welco back, Wuye," said Yun Ming as he appeared.
The chief warden held his lover's hand and said, "Um. I'm back."
While the situation in the south is peaceful as always. The ones on the floating island were completely different from them.

Sect eting Hall...
The sect masters sat at the round table, and on the table was the severed hand of the forr Sect Master of the Heavenly Illusion Sect. The whole area was filled with a deafening silence as they stared at the head at the center of the table.
Those who were in love with ng Ruyi, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Illusion Sect, were red-eyed, holding back their anger. There are at least two within the group that had their hearts stolen by this female sect master. Unfortunately, this famous lady has returned not even as a corpse but just as a re single head.
The Heavenly Sword Sect Master Cen Fanyu said, "Based on her expression. She seems to have gone crazy first before she was rcilessly beheaded."
"Based on this cut alone, it was either a spear or a sword that beheaded her. The only question is what made her insane before she was killed?" asked the Heavenly Fist Sect.
"I've checked on her soul. Whatever was inflicted on her damaged her soul greatly," Nether Ghost Sect Sect Master said.
"I've checked. Sothing had damaged her brain. It was as if so kind of technique was used on his brain by forcibly taking sothing. I only know one forbidden technique that does this kind of damage to the brain. Soul Search Technique," Sect Master World Tree Sect. They are well-known for their profound knowledge of dicine and healing techniques.
Almost all of these sect masters frowned when they heard about Soul Search. That technique is considered forbidden as it directly harms the soul of its target. It's also a technique that could backfire if the target possessed a stronger will or soul. What they didn't know was that gods could casually use this kind of technique, which they feared.
"Soul Search sees through all of one's mories. Does that an that whoever killed ng Ruyi knew that we had sent her to seduce the Divine One at the borderlands?"
"Is that why the Divine One at the borderlands went to the south with the Great General?"
"Just what the hell are they planning about?"
"There is also the Profound Sect's Holy Son. How the hell was he able to approach the Divine One and be treated like a precious treasure?"
"The Profound Sect had lied. They already know that seduction won't work as they've already sent their Holy Son and successfully got the attention of the divine one. This Profound Sect would ascend on its own."
"This can't be done. The Profound Sect must explain this to us!"
The Heavenly Sword Sect Master Cen Fanyu said, "I've already sent so elders to check on the profound sect. We should get answers soon."
It was at this mont that the door of their eting hall received a voice asking for permission from the audience.
"Sect Masters! This is an elder from the Heavenly Sword Sect. I ca to report about the situation of the Profound Sect."
"Co in!" The Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Cen Fanyu, said.
The door of the eting hall was opened, allowing the sect elder to enter. Once the elder from the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"Reporting to all Sect Masters. The Profound Sect had closed their sect and their defensive formation was activated. We couldn't see through what was happening inside. It was said that they had closed off their sect on the day the Profound Sect Master had left the last sect eting."
BANG!
The Heavenly Fist Sect Master banged his fist on the table, destroying the part of the table in front of him. He was one of the admirers of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Illusion Sect Master, ng Ruyi, and was also the one who was most against sending ng Ruyi to the borderlands and trying to seduce the Divine One in that region.
"That old fox! At that ti, he must already know that their holy son was with the Divine One at the borderlands. We have sent ng Ruyi to her death!" shouted the Heavenly Fist Sect Master in rage.
"Should we attack the Profound Sect?"
"What should we do if the Divine One put the whole Profound Sect under his protection because of the Holy Son beside him?"
All the sect masters turned mute at this possible fact. One should know how overprotective the Holy Son is to those who are connected to him. Everyone on the floating island knew that this reckless brat even let himself get captured by an Evil Elder from the Evil Faction just so he could find the real mastermind of his sworn brother's death, Shun Wuyun.
The Heavenly Sword Sect Master said, "No! The Divine One and the Holy Son are currently in the south while the territory of the Profound Sect is in the north. Even if they learned about it, they wouldn't be able to co right away! The Profound Sect must pay the price for fooling us!"
Cen Fanyu is enraged as they were treated as fools by the Old Sect Master of the Profound Sect. Actually, the old sect master from the Profound Sect had given them countless warnings about the Divine One at the borderlands. He, who t the God of Void himself, can feel that this God wasn't truly a good God. Just the thick scent of blood on him made him a terrifying bring.
That's why the old sect master didn't choose to directly get involved with that Divine One, even though their Holy Son was favored by him.
These sect masters choose to blindly believe that the old sect master of the profound sect had betrayed them. Forgetting the fact it was this old sect master who had warned them multiple tis not to sche against the Divine One.
Sect Master Cen Fanyu said, "Send so people to exterminate the Profound Sect. All sects must move against them!"
So sect masters were angry while the others were quiet. They actually didn't want to get involved in this kind of action if starting a war. Even so, they didn't voice denial, as they might get targeted by this arrogant Heavenly Sword Sect Master instead.
The Heavenly Sword Sect Master, Cen Fanyu, said, "It's war!"

While the situation on the floating island was getting hot, the Imperial Palace was about to be ruined by An Ziwei. This human emperor had beco just a figurehead in the Imperial Palace, as all of the officials, ministers, and even the nobles had revolted against him.
They had imprisoned the human emperor, An Ziwei, in the Emperor's Palace together with his harem and his authority, as the human emperor had been void.
After the completion of the life exchange, as Anwei (Hei Xiaojing) died, all of these original abilities and powers disappeared together with him except for his identity; An Ziwei got nothing else. It can be said that he is the weakest human emperor who sat on the throne. The purple qi inside of him had completely faded when the half-soul of Hei Xiaojing was taken out of his body.
After all, that half-soul was his source of power.
In the emperor's main palace...
Royal guards surrounded the whole palace, and even an imprisoning barrier surrounded this building. The nobles, officials, and ministers made sure that this human emperor would not be able to act out.
BAM! CRASH!
Countless sounds of breaking and banging were heard coming from the palace. It seems that An Ziwei was annoyed that his re subordinates and servants were treating him in such a way.
"How dare they do this to !? I'm the human emperor!" scread An Ziwei.
His harem was hiding at the side, except for the puppet of Wang Xiajie looking at the scene with indifference. He was left in this place just to watch over the failure of a human emperor.
The puppet Wang Xiajie said, "You shouldn't have missed a lot of your court etings. Your ministers wouldn't have revolted if you did so."
"Shut up! It's not your place to speak!" shouted An Ziwei.
