Atop the flying artifact, Zhuge Lingyan stood at the stern while considering various ways to take revenge against Tian Ya, especially after the humiliation he gave her previously. 'Tch! Kong Ming has decided to abandon me and sever ties between our clans, so I can no longer use people from the Kong Clan to help me. This way, I have to rack my brains to find the best way to do it, but I don't know anyone who has the ability to fight him and the Tian Clan. Hmm? Should I contact those people? I'm sure they can help me get revenge on him, but it's not without risks, and those cultivators will punish me and my clan severely if they find out about it.'
"What are you thinking, Mother?" Zhuge Lingyan returned to her senses and turned to her son, and Kong Tianhe asked her again. "Are you thinking about taking revenge on Sect Master Ya?"
"Since the sect has already expelled you, you no longer need to address that bastard as such." Zhuge Lingyan replied in an angry tone. "Anyway, I will take you back to the Zhuge Clan, especially since your father has abandoned us."
"Eh?" Kong Tianhe took a moment to process that information. "Did it happen because of me?"
Zhuge Lingyan sighed softly and nodded at Kong Tianhe, but she then hugged her son. "Even so, you don't need to blame yourself, especially since your father is such a person, and I no longer think about him anymore. As for Qingyun, he was too focused on his affairs at the Buddha Sect, and your father sent him to that mysterious tower a week ago, so I haven't been able to meet him yet."
Kong Tianhe frowned upon hearing about the mysterious tower, particularly because he had long harbored aspirations to visit that location, only to lose his opportunity due to a mistake. However, he did not expect that his brother would go there, especially since the Buddha Sect never sent disciples to that tower in the past, and they only always trained in their sect. 'Damn it! If things continue this way, Qingyun will undoubtedly leave me behind. Moreover, Tian Ya has expelled me from the sect, and I won't be able to find new partners.

Zhuge Lingyan could certainly understand his feelings because her two sons always competed to be the best among them, but she preferred Kong Tianhe, especially since her second son was too indifferent. "You may have missed the opportunity to train in that tower, but don't worry, I will assist you to ensure he doesn't leave you behind."
"What can you do to help me, Mother?" Kong Tianhe inquired with a gloomy expression. "Qingyun will train in that tower for a long time, and he will obtain many valuable items there, so his cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds. Since I am a dual cultivator, my cultivation can advance swiftly because of my partners. However, my expulsion from the sect now prevents me from contacting my former partners, leading to a slowdown in my progress."
Zhuge Lingyan nodded in understanding at that, but she then said to reassure him. "You don't need to think about them anymore, and you can use all of my clan's maidservants to help you. If they dare to reject you, I will kill them right away. In addition, I will assist you, and your cultivation will undoubtedly advance more quickly if you dual-cultivate with me, so you can help me take revenge on Tian Ya."
"Huh?" Kong Tianhe stared at Zhuge Lingyan dumbfoundedly, as he did not expect that his mother would say such a thing, but he somehow felt happy about it. "Are you really going to help me by dual-cultivating with me?"
"Yes." Zhuge Lingyan replied with a serious nod. "Back then, I never thought about becoming a dual cultivator because I needed your father, but he wouldn't help me anymore, so I had to think about the best way to become stronger, and I decided to become one. Furthermore, it's natural for dual cultivators to have a relationship, right? So I don't think too much about it, and I will help you wholeheartedly."
Hearing that, Kong Tianhe took his mother's hand. "In that case, let's do it now, especially since I've been miserable in that dungeon for two weeks."

Unfortunately, the two of them didn't realize that someone was following them from behind the clouds, and that person could hear their conversation. "Sect Master Ya is indeed wise, and he had already guessed that the woman would not give up. However, I didn't expect that she would fall so low by deciding to have such a relationship with her son, and Kong Ming would be very shocked if he heard about this matter."

Yao Shandian and the elders were standing in front of thousands of disciples in the Sword Sect, giving them an explanation about the situation facing their realm, shocking all of them. "For now, we can't confirm the exact situation, but Tian Huang has already told us that the situation is very serious, so I want you all to be prepared from now on to face those heretics. After this, the elders will divide you into several groups, especially the disciples in the Five God Realm, and I want all of you to practice cooperation with your respective group members."
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})"Then what about those of us who are still in the mortal realms, Sect Master?"
Yao Shandian let out a soft sigh before answering the disciple's question. "For those of you whose cultivation is still in the mortal realms, you still have to fight against the enemies who will invade our realm. However, I will not place you in the front line; you will remain in the back line. Even so, I want all of you to continue to improve your abilities in the remaining time, and you guys will be a backup for your brothers and sisters who are fighting on the front lines."
Even though they didn't participate in the war, they had no choice but to protect their sect and homeland from the invaders, especially since they would also die if the people on the front lines fell.
"When will they arrive in our realm, Sect Master?"
"According to reports from the spies sent by the leaders of Sunset Valley and Misty Manor, the herteic troops have just begun to move from their respective bases. However, there are too many of them, and they are moving simultaneously, so they will probably arrive in our realm within a month." The disciples became noisy after listening to Yao Shandian's answer, especially since the time was too short to prepare themselves. "I understand you guys are worried about that, but we have prepared many useful things for us to face them, and they will share them with all of you after we divide you all into groups. Since we don't have much time left, we decided to postpone all incoming missions to our sect, and I want you all to focus on this war first."
"Yes, Sect Master."
After that, the elders began to divide the disciples into several groups and mix them with different abilities; they placed one to two healers in each group, especially since their lives would depend on their healing abilities.
After settling everything, Yao Shandian immediately assigned the elders to the disciples, including Dongfang Jiansheng, who led Feng Qiong and several other disciples back to his private quarters.
When they arrived there, Dongfang Jiansheng immediately asked. "Are you going to stay here or return to your family during the war, Little Qiong?"
"Master, I am part of this sect now, so I will stay in this sect to fight alongside the other disciples." Feng Qiong answered with a determined expression. "Moreover, there are many people protecting my family, and they will be completely safe under their protection, so I don't need to worry about their safety."
Dongfang Jiansheng nodded in satisfaction after hearing her answer. "However, I want you to return to your family, especially since your talent is very high and your future is still very long, so I don't want you to waste your life. Did you understand?"
Instead, Feng Qiong sighed softly before speaking to him again. "Master, my cultivation is indeed much lower than that of my seniors, but I am a fighter, and I am used to fighting with my enemies. That's why I will not run away from the battlefield without fighting, and I will fight them to the best of my ability first, so I will only return to my family if I am really in a desperate and critical situation."
"You're really stubborn, you know?" Dongfang Jiansheng expressed his opinion, shaking his head, before taking out a necklace artifact and handing it over to Feng Qiong. "If you want to fight them first, you can use it to protect yourself. However, this can only protect you once, so you should immediately return to your family if the situation makes it impossible for you to fight again."
"Yes, Master."
Afterwards, Feng Qiong and other disciples began to train seriously under Dongfang Jiansheng's guidance, especially regarding their cooperation.
