Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

To the surprise of those present, just when they had finally made contact with the Crimson Flame Sect and were still unsure of the sect's stance, the Profound Moon Palace actually sent the Palace Master's personal disciple.

They didn't think that the Xuan Yue Palace Master's personal disciple was simply here to train in Tianlang City. Why choose Tianlang City when there were so many other places to train?

Clearly, the Xuan Yue Palace may have already discovered that the forces of Tianlang City harbored rebellious intentions, so it specially sent the personal disciple of the Xuan Yue Palace Master to intimidate them.

The disciple of the Xuan Yue Palace Master might make an example of some of their families as soon as he arrives. Just thinking about this possibility made some of the family heads present break out in a cold sweat.

After regaining his senses, Liu Yaozong quickly asked, "Lord Ding, what should we do now?"

"There's still no news from the Crimson Flame Sect. If we really wait until the personal disciple of the Xuan Yue Palace Master arrives, I'm afraid our Sky Wolf City will be stained with blood."

As Liu Yaozong finished speaking, the other family heads also began to speak.

"Yes, Lord Ding, the Lord of Xuan Yue Palace sent his personal disciple here, he must have discovered something."

"Oh no, oh no, what do we do now...?"

"Why don't we just leave Sirius City?"

……

Seeing their panicked state, Ding Qingfeng chuckled, "Look how scared you are! You haven't really betrayed the Xuan Yue Palace, what are you afraid of?"

"Although the Xuan Yue Palace is powerful, it needs families like ours to control the entire territory. If the Xuan Yue Palace were to arbitrarily exterminate a family without any evidence, it would inevitably lead to everyone feeling insecure."

"At that time, who will still be willing to risk their lives for the Xuan Yue Palace?"

"Since the founding of the Xuan Yue Palace, it has never arbitrarily wiped out a family."

After hearing Ding Qingfeng's words, the people in the hall realized that they hadn't truly betrayed Xuan Yue Palace yet, so Xuan Yue Palace shouldn't be going to take direct action against them.

Ding Qingfeng then added, "Since the Xuan Yue Palace has sent people here at this time, it proves that they have already noticed some clues and have sent people to investigate."

"If they had direct evidence, they couldn't have just sent one person; back then, it would have been a whole group of cultivators from the Xuan Yue Palace who came."

Upon hearing Ding Qingfeng's remarks, someone asked, "Then, City Lord Ding, what should we do next?"

Ding Qingfeng said, "After you return, temporarily sever all correspondence with the disciples of the Crimson Flame Sect and observe the situation first."

Liu Yaozong then said, "But we've already told the Crimson Flame Sect that we intend to join them. If we suddenly cut off all correspondence now, what will happen to the Crimson Flame Sect...?"

Before Liu Yaozong could finish speaking, Ding Qingfeng interrupted, saying, "Do you think the Crimson Flame Sect wouldn't know that the personal disciple of the Xuan Yue Palace Master has come to Tianlang City?"

Upon hearing Ding Qingfeng's words, Liu Yaozong immediately replied, "Lord Ding is right."

Ding Qingfeng continued, "The person who came is not an ordinary disciple of the Xuan Yue Palace, but a personal disciple of the Xuan Yue Palace Master. If anything happens to him, the Xuan Yue Palace Master will definitely be furious. Even if the Chi Yan Sect really wants Tianlang City, it is impossible for them to bring Tianlang City into the Chi Yan Sect at this time."

If it were an ordinary disciple of the Xuan Yue Palace, even if he died, the Xuan Yue Palace would most likely not go to war with the Chi Yan Sect for the sake of an ordinary disciple. After all, with the population dwindling, it is now rare for two major forces to engage in a life-or-death war. They mostly engage in underhanded tactics.

However, if something happens to the personal disciple of the Xuan Yue Palace Master, the situation would be completely different. If these two major powers were to engage in a full-scale war, Tianlang City would be the first to suffer.

Therefore, Ding Qingfeng decided to try to deceive them first.

The visitor was, after all, a personal disciple of the Xuan Yue Palace Master. He couldn't stay in Tianlang City forever, especially since he was here for training. They had never heard of any immortal who came to the mortal realm for training and stayed in one place indefinitely.

Ding Qingfeng estimated that Lu Chen would not stay in Tianlang City for more than ten years before leaving. Once Lu Chen left, they could continue their plan as before.

Ding Qingfeng glanced at everyone present again, then coldly warned, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Before the special envoy arrives, you'd better clean up your mess and not give anything away. Otherwise, if anything happens, don't blame me for not protecting you."

Everyone answered in unison, "Yes, Lord City Lord."

Ding Qingfeng then said, "Alright, everyone go back now."

The crowd then got up and left the city lord's hall with long faces.

Watching their retreating figures, Ding Qingfeng chuckled and said, "Why are you all in such a hurry? Tianlang City hasn't even officially come under the control of the Crimson Flame Sect yet, and you dare to send your family disciples to the Crimson Flame Sect. You're just courting death."

The Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm has very clear divisions of territory among its members. Moreover, these families were originally supported by the Profound Moon Palace to manage mortal cities. However, these families turned around and wanted to join the Crimson Flame Sect, which is a blatant betrayal of the Profound Moon Palace. Ordinary immortal sects would certainly not tolerate such a betrayal.

Of course, there is a big reason why these families do this: the Xuan Yue Palace almost exclusively recruits female disciples.

In the mortal world, once a woman leaves her family, embarks on the path to immortality, and gains power, she will most likely never return to her family.

The men from these families could only join the affiliated forces of the Xuan Yue Palace. Compared to a major power like the Xuan Yue Palace, the affiliated forces of the Xuan Yue Palace were naturally not as strong or had as many cultivation resources.

In addition, the Xuan Yue Palace is quite far from Tianlang City, while the Chi Yan Sect is nearby and can be reached in three days. Therefore, these families thought of sending their family members to the Chi Yan Sect for cultivation.

As more and more family members joined the Crimson Flame Sect, these families had a bold idea: why don't they just join the Crimson Flame Sect directly?

Of course, their actions constitute a betrayal of the Xuan Yue Palace.

After the group of family heads left the Lord's Mansion in Tianlang City, they gathered together and discussed the arrival of the special envoy.

At this moment, two people broke away from the crowd and came to the other side of the street. The head of the Wang family looked at Liu Yaozong, the head of the Liu family, and said, "Old Liu, are we just going to let this go?"

"Other families may be fine, but our two families have sent quite a few disciples to the Crimson Flame Sect. Once that special envoy arrives, we will definitely be found out, and then our two families will probably be in big trouble."

Upon hearing Wang Yongsheng's words, Liu Yaozong fell silent. After a long while, he said, "It seems that the only option is to write to the Crimson Flame Sect for help."

Wang Yongsheng sighed and said, "I'm afraid the Crimson Flame Sect won't help, after all, the person who came is the Hall Master of the Profound Moon Palace."

Wang Yongsheng didn't believe that the Crimson Flame Sect would attack a disciple of the Profound Moon Palace for the sake of Sky Wolf City, thus completely severing ties with the Profound Moon Palace. (End of Chapter)
