A piece of news returned to the Empire.
Within the colossal castle of the Eisen Family.
Eisen Disai was shocked on the spot upon hearing the news.
“Have Palace Ji’s people gone mad? Why would they kill members of our Eisen Family? Has the news been confirmed?”
His face, still bearing a trace of pallor amidst the dismay.
Ever since he had his leg broken by Pei Jinye, he had never been able to stand again, a constant source of profound pain in his heart.
“It has been confirmed, but at the moment, we don’t know their purpose,” the butler hesitated for a moment and said, “According to the information we have, Powell and his team have already left Tanwood Country and encountered an ambush by Palace Ji’s Assassins after their departure.”
“Damn it, really damn it. Do they all think our Eisen Family is inferior to their Palace Ji?” Eisen Disai said with a ferocious expression, “I want to kill them all!”
The butler quickly said, “Young Master, there must be something we don’t understand. Normally, since we’ve cooperated with Palace Ji, it wouldn’t come to tearing each other’s faces apart, moreover… Powell’s skills are not weak, dealing with him would definitely not be an easy task… I am more inclined to think that this was the work of Tanwood Country.”
“Tanwood Country?” Eisen Disai’s expression changed suddenly, “Do you mean that Tanwood Country refused our friendship, so they killed our people? But as far as I know, that person is extremely arrogant. If they really wanted to kill Powell and his team, why not kill them on the spot? Why attack after leaving Tanwood Country? Could it be that someone deliberately framed Tanwood Country? The aim being to provoke us against that figure? That person is a First level Strongman, one of the three kings of Southeast Asia.”
Eisen Disai didn’t finish what he was about to say.
But the meaning was already very clear.
To deal with such a powerful figure, especially a peak First level Strongman, was definitely not an easy task.
Their Eisen Family indeed had the strength to arm-wrestle with Pitan, but this was not in the interests of two formidable powers.
If the Eisen Family truly bore a grudge against Pitan and the kingdom behind him, the ones to suffer would be these two vast entities.
“The Young Master is right; this is probably what Palace Ji wants, to frame Tanwood Country and have us weaken each other, seizing the chance to benefit as the third party fishing in troubled waters.”
“What deep machinations.”
…
Two nights later, Palace Ji’s bases in the Empire and Summer Country were subjected to devastating strikes.
Suddenly, there was panic in the air.
…
…
Tanwood Country.
The night was flowing like water.
Pei Jinye sat quietly within the Royal Palace, gazing at the Milky Way.
That day, he personally took action, killing the people of the Eisen Family and Devouring the memories of Eisen Powell.
It was precisely because he Devoured the other’s memories that he learned the Eisen Family wanted to cooperate.
And this cooperation just so happened to involve Master Tianzang.
“Heaven and Earth Life Character Art”!
“It seems that the members of the Eisen Family are also aware of this Cultivation Technique.”
“The sword of Master Tianzang is within the forbidden area of the Eisen Family, this is the strongest sword, evolved by the Golden Mother Divine Tree!”
He slowly narrowed his eyes.
Pei Jinye fell into contemplation.
The sword of Master Tianzang was definitely something to fight for.
However, what he was more curious about was why the Eisen Family was so certain that the Heaven and Earth Longevity Art had appeared in the world?
Did they have some method to confirm this?
If it really was as speculated…
Could it be that showing up in front of them would lead to being immediately pinpointed as a practitioner of the Heaven and Earth Longevity Art?
As his brain went through the possibilities, Pei Jinye listed them out.
And right now, the most advantageous action for him was to gather the resources of Tanwood Country and cultivate as quickly as possible.
“Flame, how much longer can your energy last?”
“At most one year.”
“One year? That’s enough!”
Immediately by the king’s decree, the whole nation began to secretly plant Third Generation Spirit Objects.
Twice yielding fruits within one year.
The manpower and resources needed were extremely substantial.
Only Pitan had such commanding power, with the whole Tanwood Country spontaneously following the will of their king.
Those who resisted, secretly executed!
…
Three months later in the blink of an eye.
Palace Ji, hunted by various forces, began seeking peace everywhere.
“They’re asking for peace again.”
“What does the Cabinet think?”
“They’re a pack of wild dogs that can’t be tamed.”
Doctor Zhao spoke plainly, and the square-faced middle-aged man nodded in understanding.
But just as he was about to leave, Doctor Zhao suddenly spoke again, “Uncle Master–”
“Hmm? What is it? Anything else?”
The square-faced middle-aged man stopped, puzzled, and turned to look.
“Anything from Old Pei… any news?” Doctor Zhao asked softly, “It’s been three months, and so far, I still haven’t heard anything from my end.”
The square-faced middle-aged man shook his head: “I don’t know either.”

“He wouldn’t have…” Doctor Zhao’s complexion shifted slightly.
But the square-faced middle-aged man laughed and cursed, “What the hell are you panicking for? You were the kid who told me not to worry, and now you’re the one who’s anxious? Stop fretting. Although I don’t know his current situation, the Cabinet’s attitude is quite clear. That kid is definitely still bouncing around, alive and well.”
Doctor Zhao was taken aback and then burst into laughter, “I knew it, that guy must be fine.”
The square-faced middle-aged man patted his shoulder, “You’re still in charge of Wild Gold Country.”
“What about Tanwood Country?” Doctor Zhao was taken aback, “Wasn’t it said before that I was in charge of that too?”
