The events at Tomb Ghost Cave Heaven occurred in utter silence, many, many people only knew that Yisaner had walked out of the mausoleum, only to vanish like smoke in thin air afterward.
Moreover, two Ninth Tier Strong had died inside, apart from those who were there at the ti and those troublemakers, the remaining few who knew of this incident could be counted on one hand.
If those two knew how silently they had died, I wonder if they would have regrets.
In the past, the fall of a Ninth Tier Strong always made big waves, a major event.
Even the fake death of Old Chief Venerate back then had caused a sensation in Dali, sparking movents on all fronts. Everyone wanted to take advantage of the changes in the Shadow Departnt to do things they previously dared not or could not do.
Such aftershocks are no longer visible on the surface, but in reality, all confrontations have shifted into the shadows.
Now that those two are dead, everywhere is eerily quiet.
On a desolate beach in East Sea, Feng Buju and Yin Busan sat opposite each other.
"How did you manage to get away?"
"Those troubleso fellows, who were initially causing a fuss to tarnish the reputation of my Yin Clan, suddenly beca agreeable and left quickly. It must have been that your incident had concluded, right?"
"Yes, it concluded, but at the cost of the fall of two Ninth Tier Strong, all from the East Sea."
"Two? From _the_ East Sea?" Yin Busan was shocked.
His thoughts shifted, and he imdiately said,
"It surely wasn't for that matter you asked about before, was it?"
A re limb of Emperor Zhen wouldn't require such a major commotion, nor would it lead to such significant changes.
"No, it was for a once powerful figure lying dormant there, who was at the stage of vanishing into thin air. With his last strike, he obliterated one of them entirely, both body and spirit."
"And the other?"
"The other... you shouldn't be asking such questions."
"I was presumptuous." A sudden chill ran through Yin Busan's heart. If Feng Buju was unwilling to speak of it, then it must be sothing that shouldn't be carelessly discussed.
"Has your family moved back to the East Sea yet?"
"Not yet. We are still stationed near that Grotto Heaven."
"There's no rush to move back. For a long ti to co, you can all stay there in that Grotto Heaven without worrying about the prohibitions of the Feng and Yin Two Families," said Feng Buju, his expression grave.
Yin Busan's expression darkened, his heart sinking.
The Feng and Yin Two Families must not be too close; when these families unite on the matter of sealing, they are invincible in this age.
According to ancestral teachings passed down to this day, whenever Feng and Yin Two Families are too close during peaceful tis, it never ends well.
Feng Buju's statent indicated that the situation was very serious now.
It was so serious that the Yin Clan could settle on the sa piece of land as the Feng family without any danger.
"What exactly happened before?"
"I had always thought that abducting your family mbers and forcing you to break the seal to lure there was just for that evil matter.
Now I finally understand, it might not have been just about that."
"The previous matter was rely what they wanted you to do first."
I also finally understand why they went through so much trouble with your family.
Because now, soone wants to bring back the Divine Dynasty.
No matter who wants to do this, your family is an obstacle they absolutely cannot bypass."
Just that for now, they might not be aware of it." Feng Buju's face was as still as water, and Yin Busan's face had turned so dark it almost seed to drip darkness.
Because the Jade Seal of Dadui was sealed by the Yin Clan.
Apart from the current Family Heads of the Feng and Yin Two Families who seal things, counting the mbers inside both families, only two people know about this matter.
And those two people are rely backups for important ssages, their knowledge of the information is incomplete.
Only when a new Family Head is appointed, based on this incomplete information, can they acquire the full details.
Even so vital information, the specific contents, are not fully known by the current Family Heads.
Because knowing them can lead to potential leaks.
Much of the information, they only need to know how to clarify the details at critical monts.
And such is the case with the Jade Seal of Dadui.
Feng Buju only knows that the Jade Seal of Dadui was sealed by the Yin Clan.
And Yin Busan, at this mont, doesn't know much more than Feng Buju does.
Under normal circumstances, the specifics of this sealing are sothing they would never know in their lifetis.
That is precisely why Feng Buju guesses that those people might not know this information.
Otherwise, judging by the fact that those people could muster the power of three Ninth Tier Strong at once, the Yin Clan wouldn't be as secure as they are now.
Even if they are unaware of this matter now and remain so in the future, as long as they want the Dadui to return, the sealing of the two families is an obstacle they can never bypass.
"You must have thought this through," Yin Busan said gravely.
"With so many things happening, it's no longer about what I think, but what we must do. Without sufficient strength, the Feng and Yin Two Families won't be able to make it through the upcoming days.
You and I know, our families have always adhered to the principle from the ancestral teachings of not seeking perfection, 'if the moon is full, it wanes,' and besides not combining, there is the taboo of not entering Ninth Tier.
Nine is the extre of numbers; to enter is to face continuous calamities. Not entering is to have lasting prosperity and an unbroken lineage.
We seek stability, not strength, which is why throughout our history, even if mbers of our families have broken through to Ninth Tier, the family head has always been at the Eighth Tier Peak."
