Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

Tuharen's last visit was at the end of April, just two months ago.

"Today I made a special trip to inspect several inhabited planets around Tianyuan Star," Tuhalun said upon seeing Su Mu. "The Gui Clan on those planets has indeed been wiped out, the range of the black mist has been greatly reduced, and the Gui Clan on one planet was even completely eradicated. It seemed like the matter was about to be completely resolved, so why did you stop halfway and not continue?"

"We were ambushed by powerful members of the Horned Scale Clan along the way, so we had to turn back for the time being," Su Mu said frankly.

"Oh?" Tuharen feigned surprise. "Why would the Horned Scale Clan attack you?"

"A True God of the Horned Scale Clan previously broke into Tianyuan Star and forged a deadly enmity with me." Su Mu still spoke the truth. "The sudden visit of this group of Horned Scale Clan members to Tianyuan is strange in every way. I suspect that this matter is inseparable from your Three-Eyed Clan."

"Why would you make such a guess?" Tuharen asked, feigning ignorance.

"I previously killed one of your Three-Eyed Clan's True Gods, named Turael," Su Mu continued. "Apart from that, I can't think of any other source of conflict."

"Perhaps you're overthinking it." Tuhalen was unwilling to explain further. "Since you have the ability to wipe out the Ghost Clan from the surrounding planets, you should complete the task assigned to you by the Star Palace as soon as possible." With that, he leaped into the air and disappeared.

Tuhalen's purpose in coming here was not to urge Su Mu, but simply to ascertain the truth. He had long anticipated that the Horned Scale Clan would send people to retaliate against Su Mu, and this was to confirm whether his guess was correct. Bound by the Star Palace's ironclad rules, he and the other Three-Eyed Clan cultivators could not openly collude with the Horned Scale Clan to harm their colleagues, but they could secretly go along with it. Sending Su Mu to wipe out the surrounding strange races was a normal mission; those planetary strange races were not particularly powerful to begin with.

"With the Celestial God Hornbutt personally taking action, how could Su Mu remain unharmed?" Tuhalen was filled with bewilderment. However, he dared not venture into the Horned Scale Clan's territory to gather information, for he had been the one who secretly plotted and indirectly caused the deaths of four True Gods and two Great Gods of the Horned Scale Clan. Tuhalen quickly activated the teleportation array, leaving Tianyuan Star and landing on Wulong Star. As soon as he reached the vicinity of Wulong Star's large teleportation array, the surrounding space suddenly and violently boiled and solidified.

"Spatial confinement, it's a Celestial!" Tuharen's expression changed drastically, realizing that a Celestial powerhouse had attacked him. He hurriedly took out a high-grade Divine-level Dao-accumulating Talisman, but before he could activate it, a Horned Scale Clan Celestial had already teleported in front of him, the tip of his longsword pressed directly against his forehead. Tuharen knew that if he made the slightest move, even if he successfully activated the Dao-accumulating Talisman, he would be instantly killed. He recognized this Horned Scale Clan Celestial; the fact that the other party hadn't immediately killed him meant there was still room for negotiation, so he abandoned activating the talisman in his hand.

"God of Hornforts, why are you doing this to me?" Tuharen forced down his fear and asked the question.

"Did Cornerbusch contact you before?" Cornerbusch asked in a deep voice. Cornerbusch was his younger brother, born of the same mother. Sensing that his brother's Dao Intent Lamp had gone out, he was both shocked and furious, and immediately began to investigate the truth.

"They did contact me," Tuhalen said, not daring to deny it. Denying it was pointless; since they were able to find Wulong Star to intercept him, they must have already found many clues.

"Our race has lost four true gods and two great gods in succession. This matter is inextricably linked to you, isn't it?" Jiao Fuzi pressed again.

"To be honest, even if it were related, it wasn't something I deliberately planned," Tuhalen hurriedly explained. "I merely informed the True Gods of Horn Rock that the Ghost Race on the planets surrounding Tianyuan was weak and could come to earn merit. Who could have predicted that they would engage in a deadly battle with the human race's powerful warriors of Tianyuan Star..."

"Jiaobutz once told me that the human cultivator on Tianyuan Star was a Star Palace Resident Envoy." Jiaobutz didn't want to hear any more of his explanations. "I ask you, when you instigated Jiaoyan and the others to come and wipe out the Ghost Clan, did you know that Tianyuan Star already had a Star Palace Resident Envoy stationed there?"

"This..." Tuharen was momentarily speechless, unsure how to answer. This question was crucial; if he answered "yes," it would confirm that he had deliberately used the Horned Scale Clan to provoke the conflict, and he would bear all the blame for the casualties.

"I don't know!" After a brief moment's consideration, Tuhalun answered, "At that time, Tianyuan Star did not yet have a Star Palace Resident Envoy, nor did the surrounding planets. I can swear on my soul that I have not uttered a single falsehood!"

"Perhaps that human cultivator had not yet applied for the status of Star Envoy at that time, but was already a registered member of the Star Palace." Jiao Fuzi was not easily fooled by his words.

"This..." Tuharen was speechless again, feeling guilty and unable to refute.

"Didn't you just say you could take an oath? Then take a soul oath." Hornforts' tone left no room for argument. "The oath states: You have never harbored any intention to instigate the Horn Rock True Gods to clash with the Tianyuan Star human cultivators."

Tuharen would never dare to make such a vow. Once a soul vow is made, it will surely come true, and the consequences will be unimaginable. The other party is a god, while he himself is merely a great god. In front of Hornforz, he has absolutely no way to use tricks to avoid the backlash when making the vow.

"God of Hornbutt, I want to ask, did God of Hornbutt... meet with misfortune?" Tuharen asked cautiously, trembling all over.

"That's right." Cornerfort nodded slightly, a deep hatred surging in his eyes.

"What happened to the god of Hornbutt? Have you found out?" Tuhalun continued to press.

"If I had known the whole story, I wouldn't have come all this way to confront you." Jiao Fuci snorted coldly, then continued, "It is an undeniable fact that two of my clan's great gods and four true gods perished on Tianyuan Star. Even if Jiao Fuci didn't fall on Tianyuan's homeland, he must have died at the hands of that human cultivator."

"In that case, whether I am indirectly involved in this matter is no longer important," Tuhalen quickly said. "The true enemy of the Horned Scale Clan is Su Mu of Tianyuan Star, not me. Even if you kill me, the Horned Butz God and the rest of the clan cannot be resurrected. On the contrary, it will completely enrage the Star Palace and the Three-Eyed Clan. It is really not worth the loss."

"So, you're admitting that you caused all of this?" Hornfuz's eyes narrowed slightly, his killing intent rising steadily. "Don't try to suppress me with the Star Palace or the Three-Eyed Clan. Although the Horned Scale Clan doesn't have a God-King to oversee them and isn't considered one of the top clans in the universe, they are by no means people to be bullied."

Previously, the Horned Scale Clan could still bear the loss of only four True Gods and two Great Gods, which is why Hornbutz didn't immediately seek revenge against Tuharen. Now, the situation is completely different; with the fall of a Celestial God within their ranks, the losses have reached their breaking point.

"Senior Celestial God, please calm down!" Tuhalen clearly sensed the overwhelming killing intent emanating from the other party and hurriedly activated the high-grade Divine Rank Dao Accumulation Talisman in his hand. The talisman exploded, and a majestic aura soared into the sky, revealing a phantom of a three-eyed Celestial God surrounded by black heavenly fire and pure energy.

"Tusir!" Hornfutz stared at the three-eyed celestial energy form summoned by the Dao Accumulation Talisman, his eyes narrowing slightly, a cold smile playing on his lips, showing absolutely no fear. Tusir was a legitimate celestial god of the Three-Eyed Clan, his cultivation level comparable to Hornfutz's. If Tusir were present in person, Hornfutz would treat him with utmost respect, but this was merely a 50% energy avatar condensed by the Dao Accumulation Talisman, utterly insignificant to him.

Tusir's energy manifestation appeared, and upon seeing Tuharen restrained by Hornfutz, his expression instantly turned cold: "Hornfutz, is your action a deliberate provocation of my Three-Eyed Clan?" The Three-Eyed Clan possessed a God-King level expert, and even if their cultivation levels were equal, Tusir's words carried an air of superiority. In the past, for the sake of maintaining the balance between the various races, Hornfutz wouldn't have broken ties with Tusir over such a minor conflict. Now, however, the Horned Scale Clan had lost a significant number of high-ranking combatants due to Tuharen's schemes, and he was no longer willing to continue to tolerate this.

Cornerforth's gaze was icy as he stared directly at Sisl, a cold snort escaping his nose as he spoke indifferently, "So what if I'm intentionally provoking you?"

Upon hearing this, the energy clone Tusir's expression changed drastically. In their previous encounters, Cornerfort had always given way, but today's sudden hardening of his attitude gave Tusir a sense of foreboding.

As expected. In the next instant, the pressure around Hornfortz surged again, and the black light in the hand gripping Tuharen's neck surged wildly.

"Help me...help..."
