“Oh, my god, it is never ending!” Zhou Bao complained. This was because after comforting Yan Yunfei in the Inner Yard, he had returned to the hall. Before he could even sit down, along came Golden Rooster. And at the sight of him, Zhou Bao knew that it would not be good news.

“Why, has someone been here before me?”

“You’re the third, Jiang Xiao, Yunfei, and now you! Hey, what’s the matter with White Tiger? Suddenly destroying Mingyi School and causing a great deal of chaos. Is he trying to be funny?”

“An agreement has been reached among the Immortal Palace, Bigwheel Temple, Jade Pool, Thunder Palace and the Dark Sect. We are planning to drive Divine Wind Palace out of the Central Mainland Region,” Golden Rooster said flatly, “There’s going to be a war!”

“What? So soon?” Zhou Bao was not surprised when he heard about the agreement. If the four big sects did not do anything yet, they would be labeled as cowards for life. “Do you want me to reveal my identity?”

“No!” Golden Rooster shook his head, “It’s not time yet. Although the war is about to break out anytime now, it will only involve Metaphysic Individual Immortals at the most. People at the Level of True Immortality will not be involved. And your combat capability and identity are very sensitive issues. Once you are revealed to be one of the 28 constellations of Immortal Palace, I’m afraid that Divine Wind Palace will go all out to kill you at any cost, so, you’d better keep your present ambiguous state.”

“Oh?” Upon hearing these words, Zhou Bao’s ears pricked up, “Did you say Divine Wind Palace will try to kill me? Who will they be sending?”

“I don’t know. Though I’m one of the 28 constellations in Immortal Palace, you know, I’m only a Level Eight expert. How would I know so much about the top?”

“Alas, after hearing this, I suddenly have the urge to fight. Golden Rooster, help me to find out who will be my assassin if I reveal my identity.”

“What are you going to do?” Looking at Zhou Bao who was squinting and smiling viciously, Golden Rooster had a bad feeling in his gut.

“I want to kill him first!” Zhou Bao answered simply.

“Don’t even think about it. You are powerful but only equivalent to a Genuine Immortal at the Venerable Realm. You’re so visible because you haven’t yet stepped into the Mysterious Realm. Once you step into this realm, and your Genuine Spirit is included in the Golden Book of Fate, you’ll know what “no choice” means. The Divine Wind Palace has countless masters, especially in the inner palace, not to mention the Genuine Immortal of the Venerable Realm, even Genuine Immortals of the Lord of Heaven Realm are no less than 10 in number. If you go, you’ll meet your death!”

“Since they’re so strong, why do they restrict fighters? If they send those Lords of Heaven to fight, won’t the battle come to a quicker end?”

“Humph, they wish! Don’t forget that the Golden Book of Fate is not in their hands. Although no one has as much authority over the Golden Book of Fate as they do, we’ll have more control over it if the four of us work together. Over the years, they indeed have absorbed many great powers, but what these restrained Genuine Immortals and Individual Immortals fear is the Golden Book of Fate, not Divine Wind Palace. Now that the control of the Golden Book of Fate has changed hands, those guys won’t be stupid enough to work for Divine Wind Palace. Then Divine Wind Palace can only rely on themselves. Thus, the fight isn’t going to be too great a battle!”

“But it involved a lot. The world is in turmoil because White Tiger destroyed Mingyi School!”

“In turmoil? Humph, this is just the beginning. They’ll just have to give in this time, or they’ll have a bigger problem ahead!”

“What, a bigger problem? Golden Rooster, seriously, what do you know?”

“Nothing, but Elder Qing told me this. Last time I came to see you, you were doing a closed-door training, so I didn’t want to bother you. Now that you are out, I’ll tell you what Elder Qing said.”

“What’s he going to tell me?”

“Wait and see!”

“Wait and see? So I should not get involved?”

“Don’t get involved as long as other people don’t mess with you. But if someone should provoke you, it doesn’t matter if you kill him!”

“Okay, got it, wait and see. By the way, there’s one thing I have to ask you.”

“What is it?”

“About my father-in-law, what are you going to do about the Jin?”

“Hehe, White Tiger is in charge of all this, but I think he’s going act soon. The Golden Book of Fate limits his freedom when it comes to having a hand in worldly affairs, so he is now choosing an agent!”

“Well.” Having thought for a moment, Zhou Bao touched his forehead and said with some embarrassment, “Then, is it possible for you to leave the Jin alone?”

“Leave the Jin alone?”

“Yeah, the Jin does have something to do with Divine Wind Palace, but they also have something to do with Immortal Palace. We Immortal Palace support the well-known family, and have been competing with the imperial power supported by Mingyi School. Now that Mingyi School has fallen, the power of the well-known family will inevitably expand. The forces on both sides are already out of balance. Don’t you think that it’s the same whether there is a change to the Emperor or not?”

Golden Rooster looked at Zhou Bao for a long time and laughed, “Haha, you’re right. It’s the same whether we change the Emperor and the dynasty or we do not. And the victor is not yet in sight. No one knows who will win the world. But you should know, your father-in-law and Divine Wind Palace are too close. White Tiger will not let him go as long as he is the emperor. Don’t forget, he is the card up the sleeve for Divine Wind Palace, and he is also known as the most promising Candidate for Human Emperor.”

“You mean, ultimately, my father-in-law will be swindled by Divine Wind Palace?”

“If he didn’t think of it, no one would be able to swindle him. But if he had the thought, he would swindle himself even without others!”

“Indeed, but you know, my wife is pregnant now. It’s not good for her to be worrying. So, is there room for changes?”

“You have to ask White Tiger!”

“Then do you know what his plan is?”

“He has already found several well-known families and wanted to unite with them to overthrow the Jin!” Golden Rooster shrugged his shoulders and gave a smile, “You know, Tian Long Taoism has always been connected with those big well-known families. This is not the first time!”

“Those well-known families?” There was a twinge of foreboding in Zhou Bao’s heart at Golden Rooster’s words, “Not including the Wang Family, right?”

“Actually they are included and are even taking the lead position!”

“What exactly does White Tiger want to do? Doesn’t he know that I have a grudge against the Wang Family? Or is he planning something against me?”

“I’m not sure about that. If you want to know, you’d better ask him yourself!”

“Ask him directly? Humph, come on, I might as well just go and destroy the Wang Family!” Zhou Bao replied coldly, “You go back and tell him he’d better give up the Wang Family, otherwise, I will not care about giving him face!”

“So serious?”

“Serious? Isn’t this what he wants? He deliberately looked for an influence that had a grudge against me, and this will inevitably push me to the other side. It would give Divine Wind Palace the advantage of taking me in, and then when I’m taken in, I should act as Infernal Affairs. In that case, I’ll follow his script, but my tactics will be more drastic. If something happens, don’t blame me for not telling you in advance!” As Zhou Bao said this, his voice grew cold and gloomy. Zhou Bao was very disgusted with White Tiger’s intention, so he was not prepared to give him any face.

“I don’t want to be involved with you two!” Seeing the vexation in Zhou Bao’s eyes, Golden Rooster waved his hands repeatedly. They were all members of the Immortal Palace. In terms of status, White Tiger was slightly higher than Zhou Bao. However, due to the special organizational situation of the Immortal Palace, neither White Tiger nor Elder Qing had much binding force on Zhou Bao. Most of all, Zhou Bao had the combat capability equivalent to a Genuine Immortal at the Venerable Realm, and no one in the 28 constellations could beat him, including White Tiger and Elder Qing. His combat capability, so to speak, was the first in the Immortal Palace. It was not easy to take advantage of such a person. In fact, in the view of Golden Rooster, neither Elder Qing nor White Tiger seemed able to control Zhou Bao now. And he did not know what would happen in the future, so he did not want to be involved.

“Well, since you don’t want to get involved, I won’t bother you. By the way, now that the entrance of the Azure Secret Area has been closed, you guys in the yard will be leaving, right?”

“Yes, we’ve put away the Gate of All Manifestations and are ready to leave!” Golden Rooster smiled, looking at Zhou Bao, “What, now that you’re strong, you want to get rid of us, huh?”

“Heehee, I’m not you, a rooster, with wings to fly. I’m just speculating on the behavior of White Tiger. How can you all stay here if you want to distance yourselves from me? I think it’s not just me and even Wang She has to leave, right?”

“You’re really smart. Right, those from Tian Long Taoism have to leave. But they’ll leave a little later than us, and will find a good reason for their departure.” Golden Rooster looked at Zhou Bao meaningfully.

“Well, I know!” Zhou Bao nodded, stood up and took Golden Rooster to the door. Just when Golden Rooster was about to leave, Zhou Bao asked, “Hey, Golden Rooster, who do you think will win this time?”

Golden Rooster gave him a wry smile. “I don’t know. Although the four big sects have joined forces and gained an advantage, we are not united internally. Perhaps the alliance will collapse when Divine Wind Palace plays their winning card!”

“So, Divine Wind Palace doesn’t even care about this alliance!”
