"Sikong Zhen has something important to discuss with the Mist Emperor!"
While Yun Che was still immersed in his sleep, Sikong Zhen's extremely anxious voice suddenly came over.
The urgency in his words could not be concealed at all, as if something earth-shaking had happened, which had thrown the former great commander of the abyss into disarray and made him feel unable to cope.
"What happened?" Yun Che quickly put on his clothes and appeared in front of Sikong Zhen in a flash. His brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He was obviously quite dissatisfied with Sikong Zhen's sudden interruption.
"A battle has broken out between the Abyssal Mystics and the Divine Realm Mystics!" Sikong Zhen's face was filled with worry, as if a heavy burden weighed on his heart. He had never experienced such a situation before, and for a moment, he was completely at a loss as to what to do.
Yun Che's gaze was like a blade, shooting coldly at Sikong Zhen, extremely disappointed with his performance. "You can't even handle such a small matter. How can you be the head of the Order Maintenance Bureau?"
At this moment, Yun Che's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past, remembering Cang Shitian who bravely sacrificed his life. Although Cang Shitian occasionally played some tricks of his own, he was always very organized and meticulous in his work. He wouldn't bother Yun Che with trivial matters like the one before him.
Upon hearing this, Sikong Zhen immediately lowered his head even lower, wishing he could crawl into the ground. "Reporting to the Mist Emperor, it's not that I don't want to handle this matter properly, but the development of this matter has far exceeded my ability to control. The conflict between the two sides has completely spiraled out of control, and tens of thousands of people are involved... No matter which side I favor, it will cause serious problems. I am truly powerless, so I have no choice but to ask the Mist Emperor to make the decision personally."
Sikong Zhen was in deep torment. He had never imagined that the people of the "Eternal Pure Land" would be so difficult to control. They acted recklessly, without considering the consequences. Although their cultivation level was not high, they were extremely united, so that the people of the Abyss could not gain any advantage in this conflict.
"A conflict involving tens of thousands of people?" Yun Che's tone softened slightly, as if he had let Sikong Zhen off for now. He simply couldn't understand how things had escalated to this point. "Tell me the details of what happened."
Initially, Yun Che had concentrated all the people of the Abyss in the Western Divine Region because he considered that both the Qilin Realm and the Azure Dragon Realm had always been known for their tolerance and kindness, so this would reduce many unnecessary conflicts.
"Because a few days ago, the power of darkness enveloped the entire Eastern Divine Region like a dark cloud, and everyone was disturbed by this strange scene. Then, a theory began to emerge, speculating that this strange thing was caused by the profound practitioners of the Abyss, especially those in the Eastern Divine Region, who directly pointed the spearhead at the people of the Abyss. At first, it was just a few small-scale conflicts, but as the hatred between the two sides continued to accumulate and deepened, the situation gradually got a little out of control..." Sikong Zhen said in a low voice, his head lowered.
He really didn't take the conflict seriously at first, and it was this negligence that led to a series of subsequent troubles. He cannot escape blame for the situation that has developed to this point.
Yun Che's eyes instantly turned cold as ice. He hadn't announced the Evil Infant's return, a shocking event, to the world. Apart from the few people closest to him, no one knew the true cause of the events that had occurred in the Eastern Divine Region over the past two weeks.
“It seems that during this time that I’ve been away, the God Realm has become somewhat restless. Let’s go, I’ll go there myself.” Yun Che finished speaking and took a step forward, heading straight towards the Western Divine Region.
Sikong Zhen raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his face. Just a moment ago, he had sensed an extremely dangerous aura from Yun Che. Although he and Yun Che were both at the peak of the Supreme Divine Realm, he now deeply felt that his own strength was completely different from Yun Che's.
After coming to his senses, Sikong Zhen did not dare to delay for even a moment and hurriedly followed.
When they arrived in the Western Divine Region, the tranquility and peace of the past had long since vanished. What greeted their eyes was a scene of unbearable chaos, filled with conflict and slaughter. However, the profound practitioners from the Divine Realm participating in this battle were not from the Qilin Realm or the Azure Dragon Realm, but rather from the Eastern Divine Region and the Southern Divine Region.
Yun Che didn't directly intervene to stop the conflict. He knew that those within the God Realm who resented him were the ones behind it, fanning the flames. He planned to eliminate all of them. Yun Che's gaze turned towards the Qilin Realm.
“Your humble servant Qi Tianli pays homage to the Yun Emperor!” Qi Tianli bowed respectfully towards Yun Che.
Back then, being spared the death penalty was already a great blessing, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Now that Yun Che had returned safely from the abyss, his eyes saw Yun Che's majesty even greater than before, and the awe he felt in his heart naturally grew even stronger. Now, he no longer had the slightest thought of rebelling.
“Qilin Tianli, do you acknowledge your guilt?” Yun Che sat upright on the high seat, gazing at the Qilin Emperor with cold eyes, his words clearly conveying his dissatisfaction.
"This... I believe that I have led the Qilin Realm to be law-abiding all these years and have never done anything that violates the rules. I implore Emperor Yun to tell me what crime I have committed." Qi Tianli said, bowing even lower, almost touching the ground.
"Do you know why I relocated the people of the Abyss to the Western Divine Region? It was because I knew you and Qing Fei were in the Western Divine Region. You've always been law-abiding and peaceful. I thought you wouldn't clash with the people of the Abyss. But I never imagined that in just half a month, things would have escalated to this point. Is this how you govern the Western Divine Region?" Yun Che's tone grew increasingly cold, as if even the air around them seemed to freeze. Back then, he had spared Qi Tianli's life at the request of the Azure Dragon Emperor. Today, he intended to settle both old and new scores.
As a seasoned veteran, Qi Tianli naturally understood the hidden meaning in Yun Che's words. He knew that if the Qilin Realm wanted to continue its legacy safely, it would inevitably have to pay a heavy price. Although he felt extremely reluctant, the situation forced him to do nothing. After all, this was the punishment he deserved for his betrayal back then.
"I acknowledge my guilt!" Qi Tianli bowed deeply once more. "I will now summon all the elite troops of the Qilin Realm. We will completely resolve this conflict within three days... no, within one day."
“Alright, I’ll give you one day. If you can’t do it, you’ll come to me with your head!” Yun Che sneered, but didn’t say anything to stop him. His cold words seemed to be an invisible death warrant.
"Yes! I'll take my leave!" Qi Tianli didn't dare to delay for a moment and retreated in a hurry.
“Sikong Zhen, bring the Order Maintenance Bureau with you to help out. Remember, you can only intervene after the Qilin Realm is truly severely damaged.” Yun Che continued to instruct.
"Yes, I understand," Sikong Zhen replied, a trace of cold sweat trickling down his forehead. At this moment, he secretly marveled at Yun Che's methods. In his opinion, such an approach was truly "shameless."
He thought to himself, it seems this Qi Tianli must have offended Yun Che many times in the past. Well, from now on, he should stay away from Qi Tianli to avoid unnecessary trouble.
