Ultimately, the siege of the Ephemeral Mountains ended with the retreat of several powerful families.
When the head of the Qianxun family learned of this news, he was furious. He did not expect that such a simple matter could not be handled well by more than a dozen family heads, and that they would be humiliated by the other party.
However, he did not plan to send any more people from the Qianxun family. After all, Dongfang Mian was able to command the Poison Mother of the Ephemeral Mountains, and the disciples of the Qianxun family were all geniuses. The head of the Qianxun family was unwilling to send them to their deaths.
After careful questioning, it was learned that not only did the Ouyang family head and the others not make a move, but they also blocked the other family heads. The Qianxun family head must have been thinking something.
He sent people to the three great families to invite the patriarchs to come, but the patriarchs of the three families were all in seclusion and unable to come. Other disciples of the three great families also rarely showed up. It seemed that these strange actions secretly indicated the attitude of the three great families.
The head of the Qianxun family suddenly felt that the Qianxun family's status in the God Realm had been challenged. Due to the status of the two rulers of the Three Realms, the Qianxun family could not use any underhanded means and had always cultivated a positive image. So even though he was furious with the three family heads and wished he could rush to their mansions and strangle them, he still appeared to understand and not care.
In the Ephemeral Mountains, having experienced the thrill of success in combat for the first time, everyone's enthusiasm for cultivation increased even more. However, the fact that the Thousand Search Clan had not continued to cause trouble made Dongfang Mian very uneasy.
In the Ephemeral Mountains, Dongfang Mian had Aju summon the ant and insect races to gather information outside, and the news they received greatly surprised Dongfang Mian.
It turns out that the reason why the Qianxun family hasn't caused trouble recently is not because of anything else, but because of Yan Lin.
Reliable sources have emerged that the former Demon Lord, recognized by the Heavenly Dao, has returned to the Demon Realm. Leading the forces of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, which have always been loyal to him, he has reclaimed the position of Demon Lord with an extremely powerful stance. A grand succession ceremony was held a few days ago. The powerful return of the former Demon Lord is, on a small scale, merely an internal matter of the Yan family in the Demon Realm, but on a larger scale, it is an event that will affect the balance of power in the Three Realms.
Therefore, the head of the Qianxun family has been anxious about this matter recently and has not focused his attention on Dongfang Mian. However, some ants said that they heard the servants of the Qianxun family gossiping that the head of the family had found a new way to deal with Dongfang Mian.
Dongfang Mian's mind was now filled with Yan Lin's successful usurpation of the throne. Thinking about how hard they had worked to collect the artifact fragments, she was so excited that she almost cried.
At this moment, Chang Lan coldly said, "The Yan family members are all bad. No matter who becomes the Demon Lord, it will be a misfortune for the Demon Realm."
Dongfang Mian's enthusiasm was instantly dampened, and she remembered that Chang Lan and the Yan family had a feud. She had temporarily forgotten about it because she had been busy all along.
After calling Chang Lan into the room alone, Dongfang Mian cautiously asked, "Chang Lan, would you mind telling me what's going on between you and the Yan family?"
Chang Lan thought for a moment before slowly telling Dongfang Mian all of this.
It turns out that Chang Lan came from the Demon Realm, and strictly speaking, Chang Lan is also a descendant of the Yan family. According to Chang Lan, the head of the Yan family is stubborn, domineering, and independent. Apart from being unable to control the previous Demon Lord Yan Lin, he has the entire Yan family firmly in his grasp.
Chang Lan's mother was from a collateral branch of the Yan family, while her father was a prodigy recruited by the Yan family. Their love was opposed by the head of the Yan family, but Chang Lan's mother still insisted on having her with her father.
