"Big Brother!" A middle-aged man called out as soon as Kong Ming appeared before him.
However, Kong Ming did not directly answer his question and used his senses to search for Zhuge Ligyan's whereabouts, but he couldn't find her. "Where is your sister-in-law, Kong Ji?"
"What really happened between you two, big brother? Why was that woman so angry after she returned?" Instead, Kong Ji asked him back, especially since Zhuge Lingyan's attitude was so strange. "She immediately packed his things and left our clan, but she didn't tell us anything."
"I see." Kong Ming nodded in understanding and explained everything that had happened before to his little brother, including about Jiange Xiuxi and several other things.
Hearing that, Kong Ji's expression actually looked happy, and he then patted Kong Ming on the shoulder. "I think it's time for you to let her go, and her departure will have a positive impact on our clan. For so many years, she used your name to do as she pleased, and the status of her Zhuge Clan was able to rise greatly thanks to us. Besides, her actions made many of our members hate her, especially since she always acted arrogantly and ungratefully towards you, and they were overjoyed after she decided to leave."
"You're right." Kong Ming replied with a nod of approval. "Lingyan decided to leave by herself, and she didn't even have the intention to tell me first, so she was no longer a member of our clan. Anyway, you can tell people about this matter, and you can spread the news that our Kong Clan is breaking ties with the Zhuge Clan, and we will never support them again, so the other clans can make their own decisions regarding their relationship. As for my relationship with her, I will take care of everything myself."
"All right, I will carry out your orders right now, Big Brother."
After Kong Ji left, Kong Ming immediately returned to his room, but he sighed heavily after finding many valuables taken away by his wife, and he then sat on the side of the bed while muttering. "For so many years, I have been blinded by my feelings for you, but I will no longer act so stupidly. Moreover, I told you not to do anything, but you didn't want to listen to me, so I was forced to take this decision for the sake of the safety of my clan. As for you and your Zhuge Clan, your future is no longer my concern, and I will not help you guys if Jiange Xiuxi gets angry with you."
Meanwhile, the people of the Kong Clan cheered with joy after Kong Ji told them about Kong Ming's decision, especially since they were fed up with Zhuge Lingyan's attitude, and some of them moved to spread the end of relations between their clans.

"Have you heard the news, Father?"
Tian Huang immediately replied to Tian Kong. "Tian Ya previously told me about the arrival of Kong Ming and his wife to the Eternal Spring Sect, and he already guessed that Zhuge Lingyan would never be able to accept his decision regarding Kong Tianhe."
"Do you think Zhuge Lingyan would do such a crazy thing by challenging Senior Yu, father-in-law?" Ran Chenxin asked him.
Tian Huang sighed before answering her question. "Zhuge Lingyan is indeed a stupid and arrogant woman, so I wouldn't be surprised if she dared to do such a thing. However, I'm sure that Zhuge Liang wouldn't be so crazy as to support her daughter's decision, and he would probably expel her from their clan, or else their clan would perish. Anyway, Yueling probably won't be back for quite a while, but she might already be strong by the time she gets back."
"Yes." Ran Chenxin agreed with his words. "Yueling already told me that she would go with Mo Chen to that mysterious tower, so I was sure that she would become strong after training there. However, I was still worried about her safety, so I decided to send Ran Songyun to go there specifically to protect her."
Tian Huang was not surprised to hear his daughter-in-law's decision, especially since he himself was still worried about Tian Yueling's safety, even though Zhou Yu was by their side to protect them, especially since he knew well about the difficulties they would face in the mysterious tower. "However, I didn't expect that Qinglian would decide to join them, but it would be great for her, especially if Mo Chen also has an interest in her, and our Tian Clan will be even better in the future."
"Unfortunately, Qinglian is a little weird, and I'm not sure that Mo Chen will be interested in a stiff woman like her." Tian Huang smiled strangely after hearing that, and Ran Chenxin asked him. "What are our plans for the remaining dead villages? Are we going to move now to get rid of the heretics from there?"
"I have contacted the other patriarchs and matriarchs, and we will move starting tonight. However, we will deal with them one by one, or those heretics will be fully aware of our actions, and a big war will occur in our realm." After he said that, Tian Huang immediately walked out of the room. "I will meet my master and senior brother first, especially since they are preparing several devices that will be able to help us eradicate those heretics from our realm."
.

Before long, Tian Huang had arrived at his blacksmith workshop, and he asked Xian Di. "Are those devices finished, Master?"
"Yes." Xian Di then threw a storage ring at Tian Huang. "Everything is in it, and I have infused nature power into them, so you can distribute those devices to other clan leaders to deal with those heretics. Even so, you guys should still be careful, especially towards the Gu Clan because we don't know much about their Gu Insect, or else you guys will fall under their control and this realm will be in great danger."
"Are you guys going back to the dwarf realm now?"
Xian Di nodded to him. "We've been away from our realm for more than a week, so we have to return soon. Anyway, Zhu Ling and Jing Shen are on their way to this realm, and they will arrive here in a week, so you should tell your disciple to prepare to face them."
"Haha." Tian Huang laughed and shook his head at Xian Di. "Master, you don't need to worry about that, especially since Senior Yu already knows about it. However, Zhu Ling won't be able to meet them because they will be leaving for the mysterious realm in three days, and Mo Chen deliberately hastened their departure to avoid those two people, so they won't fight in this realm."
"That's the best choice, and people in this realm will not suffer because of their fight." However, Xian Di immediately warned Tian Huang. "Even so, you should be wary of Zhu Ling because he can read your memories easily, and he will find out that Mo Chen and the others went to that realm."
"I know." Tian Huang replied as he nodded. "Zhu Ling is indeed stronger than me, but that tower is not just any tower; even Tang Chen is having quite a hard time there, so he won't do anything to them freely."
"Actually, I'm not that worried about him, but I'm more worried about Jing Shen." Xian Di then told his disciple about some things he knew about the man, which caused Tian Huang to frown. "If my assumption is correct, he must have manipulated Zhu Ling without his knowledge, so you should warn Mo Chen and the others to be wary of him.
"All right, I will convey your message to them, Master."
"Little Huang." Shou Zhe called out while patting Tian Huang's shoulder. "I don't have time right now, especially since we have to go back to our realm. However, I will come to this realm again soon, and we will have a blacksmithing match at that time, so I hope you won't disappoint me like in the past."
"Haha." Tian Huang burst into laughter when he heard that. "Don't worry, Senior Brother! I won't disappoint you again, and you'd better be prepared to lose to me."
"You!" Shou Zhe was furious when he heard that, but then he laughed. "Haha! I hope you can really do it, or my Lord will punish you severely if you can't beat me."
"That goes for you too." Xian Di said as he turned to Shou Zhe. "You are much more senior than Little Huang, and you have also been a blacksmith for so long, so I will punish you severely if you lose to him."
Shou Zhe's lips twitched after he heard that, and he then spoke to Tian Huang. "Since my Lord has said that, I will definitely not hold back when we compete in blacksmithing later, and I will make you taste defeat once again."
"That's good."
After they discussed some other things, Xian Di immediately took out his flying artifact, and the two dwarves immediately left the Sky Cloud Realm.
After they left, Tian Huang sighed heavily and contacted Zhou Yu, and he told him about Jing Shen, but he was surprised because he already knew about it. "Haish! I seem to be getting senile, so I forgot about Senior Yu's abilities, but I can feel relieved, and I hope they can resolve their problems with the spirit race well."
