While Tian Shen and Ling Weitian were talking, a eting was being held in the deepest and most forbidden part of the Yun Family, attended by the highest-ranking ancestors.
The number of these ancestors reached dozens, each more terrifying than the other, with many Immortal King and pseudo-Immortal Emperor cultivators among them.
There were even a few false Immortal Emperors present.
However, only one existence above the Immortal Emperor realm sat above them all.
"The Ling Family has crossed the line this ti! They dared to kill the patriarch of our generation!"
"That's right! Those bastards have forgotten who we are! We must remind them that the ancient era has ended, and so has their reign!"
Their voices were filled with rage and killing intent.
How could they not be furious? The patriarch of their clan had been slain on the Ling Family's territory, in front of representatives from various forces, by a re young man.
Even worse, the Ling Family had not stopped him, and that sa young man had even dared to kill one of their young masters.
This was the greatest humiliation the ancestors of the Yun Family had experienced since the family's founding.
"Not just those Ling bastards, but we must also kill that Tian Shen brat who is responsible for all of this!" one of the false Immortal Emperors spoke up.
He had a favorable opinion of Yun Zheng and had even considered taking him as a disciple, but who could have expected this turn of events?
"If we harm him, the Tian Family will not sit idly by."
"That's right. A conflict with the Ling Family is already enough. As long as we destroy them, we can reclaim our honor and take their fate and treasures as compensation."
"I agree. There's no need to clash with the Tian Family. Even though that boy is the main culprit, we can just twist the rumors and put the bla on the two leaders of the Ling Family."
Among them, so ancestors were shrewd enough to know that provoking Tian Shen was unwise.
Unfortunately, the fools outnumbered the wise.
"Hmph! So what? Is my family afraid of those Tian bastards? If they interfere, we'll fight them too!"
"Agreed! Besides, do those Tian bastards even dare to intervene? They're already entangled in conflicts with the Immortal Court and the Wang Family!"
An argunt broke out between the two factions. From many perspectives, if the Tian Family interfered, the Yun Family could simply pull the Celestial Phoenix Clan, the Wang Family, and the Thousand Realm Treasure House into the chaos to counter the Tian Family.
"Enough."
Suddenly, the eldest and most powerful person among them spoke, silencing the entire room.
As soon as her words left her mouth, the surrounding space-ti trembled, as if warning of impending collapse.
She was an ancient old woman with frizzy brown hair and dark kohl-colored eyes that seed to peer into the depths of history and the river of ti itself.
"Waging war against the Tian Family is foolish, but at the sa ti, we cannot simply ignore that Tian Shen brat. Otherwise, what will the world think? They will believe the Yun Family is afraid."
Her voice was calm yet incomparably ancient.
"However, there is no need to go to war with the Tian Family either."
"But, Elder—"
A few ancestors imdiately tried to object, but the old woman released a suppressive aura, silencing them.
"Fighting the Tian Family is foolish. Do you really think those Wang bastards and those money-loving Celestial Phoenix Clan mbers can match the Tian Family?"
Her voice turned colder and more serious, and for a mont, a hint of fear flickered in her eyes when she ntioned the Tian Family.
"There is even an ancient saying: 'In this world, the Tian Family is the heavens.'"
Her words were so heavy that she even felt the Heavenly Dao's attention montarily focus on her.
Words carried power and karma, and the higher one's cultivation, the more sensitive the Heavenly Dao beca to them. Because of this, she couldn't speak carelessly.
The ancestors who had suggested destroying the Tian Family turned pale, even a little fearful.
For a brief mont, they had sensed a noble and majestic will.
They knew that will belonged to the Heavenly Dao itself.
The fact that the Heavenly Dao had not punished them for their previous words ant one thing—the Tian Family truly was the heavens in this world.
"However, Tian Shen must naturally be captured and punished."
The old woman continued, shocking them even further.
"It is true that they are the most powerful in this world, but there is always a heaven above the heavens. They are powerful in this world, but not in the entire Lower Verse."
She explained as she saw their stunned expressions.
"You an—"
"That's right. Contact the Immortal Fairy Palace and request their assistance. There is no need for them to go to war with the Tian Family—just have them issue a warning."
The other ancestors nodded in agreent, though so still had doubts.
"Elder, forgive my rudeness, but why not simply request the Immortal Court's help? They are already in a cold war with the Tian Family."
As soon as he spoke, many others nodded in agreent.
This was an even better idea. Many of them wanted to see the Tian Family destroyed.
If that happened, wouldn't they beco the most powerful force in this world?
They would practically rule this world and reap all its benefits.
"You are truly idiots, aren't you?"
The old woman snorted in disdain, looking at them with nothing but contempt.
She couldn't understand how these fools had reached such high levels of cultivation.
"Elder, please enlighten us."
Seeing the contempt in her gaze, they imdiately clasped their hands together and bowed slightly.
"The Immortal Court seeks to solidify its rule over the entire Lower Verse. In other words, if necessary, they would even destroy us. As long as the Tian Family exists, we have nothing to worry about because the Immortal Court has no ti to deal with us."
She sighed and summarized her reasoning.
"I see!"
"Those Eternal Court bastards are more treacherous than I thought!"
"Enough. Prepare for war, and do not forget to contact the Immortal Fairy Palace."
