The news of Aries and the Dark Raven swept through Dongsheng like a hurricane.

The other five divine dynasties, ten immortal sects, thirty aristocratic families, seventy-two holy lands, and mysterious regions were all astonished.

The various factions are engaged in heated discussions.

The existence of Aries and Dark Crow has already threatened the balance of Dongsheng. Their cultivation has reached the realm of the Dao, breaking the equilibrium of Dongsheng.

If no powerful figure emerges, one can truly do whatever one wants.

"Saving Black Dog and Green Ivy isn't urgent. We still have half a month. Even if we go there, we can't defeat them. Let's go to the retirement village first and ask my mother-in-law's opinion." Wu Xiao made a decisive decision.

Shao Siming and Huang Muyu agreed.

Wu Xiao continued, "Immediately send a message to the Imperial Advisor, tell her to return from the wilderness and go directly to the retirement village to discuss how to deal with this crisis."

She sent the Imperial Advisor to the Wilderness to explore the Wilderness world, but now that Dongsheng is in chaos, the exploration has been temporarily put on hold.

“Alright.” Huang Muyu took action and activated the secret language to contact the Imperial Advisor.

A moment later, instead of the Grand Preceptor's secret message, a strange, fragmented sentence was heard: "Gods are dead... Demons are destroyed... Why..."

"Click..." The whisper was cut off.

"Your Majesty." The Left Prime Minister, Huang Muyu, said with a heavy expression and furrowed brows, "I heard earlier that the Imperial Advisor and other people from the Divine Dynasty and the Immortal Sect had explored areas such as the Divine Ruins, the Buzhou Mountain Altar, and the Primordial Burial Pit, saying that there might be secrets of gods and demons hidden inside. The Imperial Advisor has not replied to the message, so something may have happened."

Wu Xiao remained silent for a moment before saying, "The desolate world is terrifying and mysterious, hiding many secrets. It was expected that something would happen, but why did it have to happen at this time?"

Left Prime Minister Huang Muyu said, "Should we send someone to contact her?"

Wu Xiao said, "Send a few divine birds to investigate the situation of the Grand Preceptor and follow up on the situation. Report to me any news or disturbances. Now let's continue on our way to the retirement village."

The Left Prime Minister followed behind Wu Xiao, while simultaneously sending a message to the divine birds, instructing the two birds to immediately head to the Wilderness.

A streak of light flashed through the air.

Whoosh whoosh.

Wu Xiao, the Left Prime Minister, and the Right Prime Minister descend upon the retirement village.

The villagers crowded around, peering inside. The village chief's wife stood at the village entrance; seeing them arrive, she stepped forward and said:

"Come in quickly, everyone. Grandma already knows the basic situation. It's a disturbance caused by an Aries and a Dark Raven. Do you have any plans?"

"Not yet. Aries and Dark Crow are involved in the realm of Tao, and no one in Dongsheng is their match." Wu Xiao told her mother-in-law about the origins of Aries and Dark Crow.

The village chief fell into deep thought: "They escaped from Yunmengze and were seriously injured by Li Ming. So where is Li Ming now?"

Wu Xiao said, "He is in seclusion."

The village chief's wife said, "At a time like this, why would you need to stay in seclusion?"

“I can see him through the broken tile of the Boundless Bowl, but he's entered a strange state and I can't wake him up no matter how I call him. If we could wake him up, then all the problems would be solved. Right now, the gap between our cultivation and that of Aries and Crow is too great; we can't possibly defeat them. Granny Village Chief, I came here this time to ask you if you have any solutions.”

"No."

"Are there no ones here who can defeat them?"

The village elder said, "The villagers here are indeed very strong, but they are only infinitely close to the realm of the Dao, not yet at the realm of the Dao. Unless someone can break through temporarily, but I think the chance is slim. However, things are not without hope..."

Wu Xiao, Shao Siming, and Huang Muyu all looked at her.

"Besides the Six Divine Dynasties, the Ten Immortal Sects, the Thirty Families, and the Seventy-Two Holy Lands, Dongsheng also has several mysterious ancient domains that have been passed down for at least a million years or even tens of millions of years, but these people are unwilling to take action."

Why?

"These talents don't care about the life or death of Dong Sheng. They lie in the shadows, waiting for their opportunity to arrive. They are the Ancient Cave of Ten Thousand Spirits, the Ancient Dynasty of Ten Thousand Buddhas, the Phoenix Nest of Immortality, the Ghost Cave, and the Demon Cave. These mysterious ancient domains also have wanderers of the world, but they rarely interfere in worldly affairs. They are all preserving their strength and waiting for their opportunity to arrive."

“I know where these people are. I’ll go find them right now,” Wu Xiao said.

"No need to look for them, they won't make a move, they're all cold-blooded guys."

Shao Siming and Huang Muyu asked, "Isn't there any other way?"

The village chief remained silent.

Seeing that they were all silent, Wu Xiao sighed and said, "I suddenly thought of a way. Don't we have many forbidden areas in Dongsheng? The forbidden areas of the Ten Thousand Mountains and the forbidden lands of the Divine Mountains. If we can lure them in, I think even the Heavenly Venerable will have to shed blood."

The village elder said, "The forbidden areas of the Ten Thousand Mountains and the sacred mountains are too dangerous. Something even more terrifying is lurking there. They are not fools; they will definitely be alert. Once they are alert, they will all die."

“Grandma, if the forbidden areas of the Ten Thousand Mountains and the forbidden lands of the Sacred Mountain don’t work, what do you think of the retirement village? Lure them to the retirement village, let them enter the alleys, and let the things inside deal with them.”

The retirement village looks quite ordinary.

The six alleys look ordinary, yet they are shrouded in mystery. Currently, only one alley is known to be a forbidden zone of Raize, and the other five must be terrifying beyond measure.

If they can be lured in, they will surely die.

The village chief nodded and said, "The idea is good, but how to naturally lead them here is a big problem."

The group chattered amongst themselves, quickly came to a conclusion, and then exchanged knowing smiles.

...

Half a month later, in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons in Dongsheng.

"Clap clap clap..."
