A middle-aged man was walking inside a residence, but he felt confused because the owners of the residence were not there, and he couldn't even find their servants and guards. "Why is everyone in this clan gone? Could it be that Ouyang Yuhai and Qian Ye have betrayed us? But that's impossible, especially since my ancestor's slave mark is on their souls, and they can't possibly erase it on their own."
He was none other than Huang Gai, and he left the Nangong Clan after he couldn't find them. He then tried to ask local residents about the whereabouts of the clan members, but he was disappointed because none of them knew the whereabouts of those people, which happened because Tian Huang had strictly forbidden them from discussing that clan.
Huang Gai then decided to go to the Ouyang Clan to check the situation there, especially since his son had already carried out their plan against that clan, so he wanted to make sure that their plan went smoothly. Unfortunately, he also couldn't find the members of the clan, mainly because Tian Huang had already brought them to the Ancient Garden to prevent Huang Xiaoxian from controlling them.
There, Huang Gai found several guards and servants from the Ouyang Clan, and he tried to question them, but none of them knew their whereabouts. However, he didn't notice their strange expressions, and they repeatedly glanced at each other with faint smiles.
"What the hell happened in this realm? How could people from the Nangong and Ouyang clans disappear for no apparent reason? Could it be that Tian Huang and the others already know about our plans?" As he continued to wonder to himself, Huang Gai walked away from the Ouyang Clan, and several people followed him from a distance so as not to alert him. "If they knew about our plan, they might have already captured those people, and the worst thing is that they would have killed them. However, I think that's impossible because it would be detrimental to themselves, so I'm sure that they won't do that."
Since he didn't have an answer about the two clans, Huang Gai took out his communication device and reported the matter to Huang Xiaoxian, and he didn't have to wait too long to get an answer from her. "Xinxi Tower, huh? Could it be that they locked those people up in that tower? My ancestor asked me to check that tower, but the people there are related to Tang Chen, and they will report to him if they detect my presence."
Huang Gai sighed heavily before flying away from Ouyang City, and his next destination was the Xinxi Tower in the western region. Even so, his expression seemed complicated, and he kept racking up his brain, thinking of ways to infiltrate there.
However, three people suddenly appeared at Huang Gai's previous location, and one of them said. "We should contact our leaders now, especially since we are not that man's opponent, so they can move to capture him."
"All right, you two can contact Ao Yangyu and Zhuang Yuan, and I will contact Ancestor Huang to tell him about that man." They immediately took out their communication devices and contacted the three people, and the three of them moved towards Xinxi Tower after getting the news.

Meanwhile, Huang Xiaoxian was standing in front of a small black statue, and she touched it before injecting her qi into it. Soon, a black shadow came out of the statue, but she seemed to tremble when she saw the red eyes of the black shadow, and she immediately knelt in front of it. "Master, I sent Huang Gai to Sky Cloud Realm to check on the situation of the Nangong and Ouyang Clans, but he couldn't find all the members of those two clans, and they seemed to have fallen into the hands of Tiang Huang and the others, so I ordered him to go to Xinxi Tower now."
[How could they know our plans? Didn't I ask you to send Huang Ba and Huang Zhuxian to carry out our plans?] A man asked from within the black shadow.
Huang Xiaoxian shook her head before telling him. "I did send them there according to your orders, but I don't know how they found out about our plans, Master. Anyway, I couldn't contact both of them, so I sent their father there to check the situation, and he told me that the results were like that."
[Who else knows about our plans besides them?]
"No one." Huang Xiaoxian replied by shaking her head. "I only told Huang Gai, his wife, and their children, so no one else knew about our plans."
[Where were those two brats last time?]
"Huang Ba was in the Nangong Clan before he disappeared, and he also informed Huang Gai that he had already carried out our plan. As for Huang Zhuxian, she and Gui Ya joined the Eternal Spring Palace."
[The Eternal Spring Palace, huh?] The man wasn't surprised to hear that. [There is a possibility that Huang Zhuxian has been caught by Tian Ya, especially since she often acts recklessly, and she might be the one who leaked our plans to them.]
Huang Xiaoxian couldn't help but sigh after hearing that, and she herself was aware of Huang Zhuxian's character. "What should we do now, Master? Should we target other clans?"
[Do you think it can be done?] The man asked while fiercly glaring at Huang Xiaoxian. [Tian Huang is not a fool, and he must have informed the other clans about our plans, so they must be fully alert now. Moreover, the people from Sunset Valley and the Misty Palace have already moved, and my people managed to capture some of them, but they keep sending new people to monitor our movements. For now, you can ignore the Sky Cloud Realm and focus on taking over the two clans in your realm, and I don't want to hear you fail once again, or I will destroy you and your clan.]
"Yes... yes... I... I definitely won't fail again." After the black shadow returned to the statue, Huang Xiaoxian immediately wiped the sweat from her forehead, and she immediately stood up before walking away. "Damn it! It's all their fault! They were too reckless and messed up our plans, and my master even threatened me like that."

In a dark room, a man wearing all black sat on a black throne, and he was the one who spoke to Huang Xiaoxian through the black shadow. As he lightly tapped the hand pads of his throne, he continued to think about her words, and he then called someone to meet him.
After a while, a middle-aged man walked into the throne room, and he asked that person. "What happened, Gu Tianchong? Why did you suddenly call me?"
"Gui Xian, I want you to contact your son, who is at Eternal Spring Palace, and ask him about Huang Zhuxian's whereabouts."
"Huh?" Gui Xian was taken aback for a moment before nodding to Gu Tianchong, and he contacted Gui Yan, but he still didn't know that his son had already become Ling Yun's slave. "My son told me that Huang Zhuxian is not in the sect, and she has been away with other disciples for several days, but he doesn't know where they went."
"Hmm?" Gu Tianchong raised his eyebrows after he heard that, and his expression clearly indicated that he did not believe that. "As I recall, Yao Shi should be at Sky Cloud Realm, right?"
"Yes." Gui Xian nodded to him. "However, that old woman always acts as she pleases, and she is also difficult to contact, but I will try to contact her now."
"All right, contact her now and order her to look for Huang Zhuxian; I suspect that she betrayed us."
"How could that little girl betray us?" Gu Tianchong explained to him about his conversation with Huang Xiaoxian earlier, which made Gui Xian frown. "Do you think this problem has something to do with the person who thwarted my plans in that village and stole my demonic corpse tree?"
"That might be the case, but our people in that realm still haven't managed to find the culprit, and Tian Huang should already know about our plans. Moreover, our lord is still in hibernation, so we won't make any movement before he wakes up."
Suddenly, a middle-aged man ran into the room, and he immediately spoke to the two men. "Hey, I tried to contact my people in Sky Cloud Realm to ask about the progress of our plans, but I couldn't contact them, and I think something might have happened to them, so you two should try to contact your people who are currently right there right now."
The two men contacted their people, but their expressions turned serious after neither of them gave them an answer, and Gu Tianchong asked him. "Since when can you not contact them, Xin Ping?"
"This morning." Xin Ping then told him something else. "Actually, not only our people, but the people from the Mo Clan also couldn't be contacted, and Mo Guai decided to go to that realm to check the situation there."
"Fool!" Gu Tianchong then contacted Mo Guai and asked him to abandon his intention. "Contact the others! We will hold an urgent meeting to deal with changes in our situation."
