Starting with an orphanage, I mass-produced peerless empresses.

Yuwen Tuo, the master of the Heavenly Demon Palace, is bringing several powerful figures from within the palace.

Yuwen Tuo was dressed in a black robe, his figure was slightly hunched, and his eyes were as gloomy as a hawk's. Judging from his aura alone, it was hard to imagine that he was the master of a palace.

Perhaps because he hadn't fully gotten used to his status as the palace master, he didn't have the so-called kingly aura; instead, he seemed like a bloodthirsty hyena beside a person in power.

Yu Changkong glanced at him and said indifferently.

"What does Palace Master Yuwen mean by that?"

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Tuo pointed at Lin Yun and the others and said coldly.

"Naturally, it was an agreement between us. This guy is an outsider, isn't he? How did they know that this secret realm was going to open today?"

This clearly indicates that the Hehuan Valley has leaked information about the secret realm.

In response, Su Qing, the deputy valley master, spoke slowly.

"The scrolls from my Hehuan Valley were bought from Dean Lin. Isn't it normal for him to know about them?"

"How ridiculous! Would he really sell such a precious treasure again?"

"I can sell it if I want, it's none of your business."

Lin Yun rolled his eyes at him.

As for Qingyue, she was even less polite, letting out a light snort.

"Don't mind him, Dean. He's always been like this. He likes to bite people indiscriminately like a mad dog."

"I see. No wonder."

Lin Yun seemed to be deep in thought, and he and Qing Yue echoed each other's words.

Yuwen Tuo's face was gloomy as he stared intently at Qingyue.

"Little girl, this isn't over between us yet!"

Although he is already the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace, he has not yet been able to fully secure his position as Lord of the Palace because of something that Qingyue took with her when she escaped.

Therefore, his killing intent towards Qingyue was extremely strong.

"Don't think that just because someone is protecting you, I, the Palace Master, wouldn't dare to kill you!"

"Really? Let's see if you dare touch her here."

Lin Yun raised an eyebrow, activated his domineering aura, and an incomparably terrifying aura swept out from his body!

Instantly, the expressions of Yuwen Tuo and the other powerful figures from the Heavenly Demon Palace all changed.

Although they did not reveal their cultivation level, their aura alone was enough to shock them.

The powerful figures from the other factions around him were also taken aback by the aura he displayed.

Not far away, the sect leader of the Ancient Dao Sect, an old man with white hair, squinted and turned to instruct the person beside him.

"Remember this, all of you: unless absolutely necessary, never make an enemy of Lin Yun. As for the children around him, take care of them as much as you can."

Upon hearing this, the deputy sect leader beside him asked in surprise.

"Sect Master, do you value him that much?"

"Like the Blood Fiend Demon Sect Empress, he rose to power far too quickly, and he probably has support behind him that we can hardly imagine!"

The white-haired old man took a deep breath and said, "We can't associate with the Blood Fiend Demon Sect now, but Dean Lin is worth befriending."

"Hmm...that's true, I'll remember that!"

The deputy sect leader nodded and agreed.

Xingwu, who was not far away, watched him with great interest.

"This guy has gotten stronger again..."

While they found it amusing, Yuwen Tuo was in an awkward position.

Feeling the overwhelming pressure emanating from Lin Yun, he was caught in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.

If he advances, he fears he won't be able to defeat Lin Yun; if he retreats, where will his dignity as the palace master be?

At this moment, all parties were watching the spectacle, and the atmosphere became tense until Yu Changkong broke the silence with a single sentence.

"What's going on? Someone else has come?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun withdrew his domineering aura and looked up at the sky.

Suddenly, a large airship slowly descended, with a huge flag erected on it and a huge sword mark on it!

Then, a series of white figures landed and, led by a man in a golden robe, arrived nearby and laughed loudly.

"Fellow Daoists, this place is quite lively today."

Upon seeing the newcomer, the expressions of the five powerful figures all changed.

Without a doubt, they all knew who had come.

Among the group that followed was Mu Feng, whom Lin Yun had previously met, who was glaring at him fiercely.

At this moment, the sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect looked at the man in the golden robe and questioned him in a cold voice.

"Mu Fusheng, you are the vice leader of the Western Regions Sword Alliance. Why are you coming to our Eastern Continent instead of staying in your Western Regions?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Fusheng smiled faintly and reached out to take out an old leather scroll.

“These are all people who have lived for hundreds of years, don’t play dumb here.”

"This place contains the legacy left to the continent by the senior Chi Yuan, yet you Eastern Continent are keeping it a secret. Do you intend to keep it all for yourselves?"

Upon seeing the ancient scroll in his hand, the leaders of the major powers' expressions darkened slightly.

"You actually deciphered the contents of this document?"

This situation is not good. Although the five major forces combined are much stronger than the Western Regions Sword Alliance.

The problem is, they can't combine their strengths, so the Western Regions Sword Alliance is actually the strongest force present.

And don't be fooled by the Western Regions Sword Alliance's righteous appearance; they are nothing but hypocrites, even worse than the Heavenly Sword Sect.

It was like being about to catch the prey when you run into powerful bandits.

At this moment, Mu Fusheng joked, "This scroll was naturally not deciphered by us."

"It's quite interesting, actually this was a gift from you people of the Eastern Continent to our Sword Alliance."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions became even more interesting, and they all exchanged glances.

It was as if they were saying, "Damn it, who the hell led the bandits into the village?"

"Really? May I ask who sent it out?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Fusheng smiled and shook his head.

"I can't say that. What if you're narrow-minded and do something to harm good people?"

The reason I brought this up earlier was simply to provoke them and, incidentally, to deflate the arrogance of these natives of the Eastern Continent.

This proved to be very effective; apart from Xingwu being delighted, the other four factions were extremely frustrated.

Lin Yun was also quite curious. Which brilliant strategist dared to risk the wrath of the Eastern Continent by giving the item to the Western Regions Sword Alliance? Wasn't he afraid of being beaten to death by these five benevolent people?

Just then, Bai Xiaoxue, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

"This item was given to you by the Zhao family of Canglong City, wasn't it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on her.

Mu Fusheng's smile froze; he clearly hadn't expected anyone to reveal the truth.

Lin Yun asked in surprise, "Xiaoxue, how did you know it was the Zhao family?"

The rest of the people also pricked up their ears.

Bai Xiaoxue pursed her lips and pointed to the old leather scroll in Mu Fusheng's hand.

“That scroll is the one that the Zhao family took from our Bai family. The bloodstains on it prove that I accidentally left them there.”

"No wonder..."

Lin Yun looked around and then remembered that the Zhao family had also obtained admission tickets, so why didn't they come this time?

It seems the item was sent to the Western Regions Sword Alliance.

As for the purpose, Lin Yun could basically guess it. It was probably because Xiaoxue performed exceptionally well in the Qingyun Grand Competition, and even her own strength made the Zhao family afraid.

So they decided to give up the treasure hunt in exchange for a powerful backer.

However, this would undoubtedly offend the Zhao family completely.

As expected, the eyes of the five major powers, from their sect leaders to their disciples, blazed with fury.

"The Zhao family, what a fine Zhao family..."

It's easy to imagine that if the Sword Alliance doesn't do something, after this secret realm ends, it's likely that not a single member of the Zhao family will survive.

I reckon even the earthworms underground would have to be dug up, chopped up, and minced into a sauce...
