What's going on?

Wu Wang, the little golden dragon of the Human Realm, and the young master of the North Wilderness, went through hardships to rescue his little companion. They arrived at the enemy's headquarters after much difficulty and caution. They were trapped in the eerie Demon Suppression Inn, the theme of the town of demons, and had to consider their every move, even hesitating to contact the spies of the Four Seas Pavilion.

His subordinate, Yang Wudi...

The bed was shaking!

In the suite where Yang Wudi was, two figures sneaked up to each other, hesitating as they met each other's eyes.

Taoist Three Delicacies held a jade token and asked in a low voice, "Young Yan, is it too improper for us to do this?"

"I also think so," Wu Wang muttered, "It's not good to eavesdrop... So, senior, you listen first. When they start talking business, call me."

"This..."

Taoist Three Delicacies narrowed his eyes. "This lifetime, I value my reputation!"

Despite his sigh, the old Taoist did not refuse, but instead held the jade token and closed his eyes in concentration.

The formation here was set up bit by bit by Taoist Three Delicacies. Eavesdropping on others was effortless and only a matter of raising one's hand, but it also involved the "moral bottom line" of the co-owner.

But when he thought about the greater good of the Human Realm, Taoist Three Delicacies "reluctantly" convinced himself.

Soon after, there was a soft sound...

"You can listen now," Taoist Three Delicacies called out.

"So soon?"

Wu Wang frowned. As a qualified sect leader, the first thing he thought of at this moment was to get some elixirs for his subordinates.

He floated over to Taoist Three Delicacies, took the jade token, and immediately heard the whispers.

Yang Wudi's voice said, "Elder, I will be under your care from now on, you..."

"Ah," a female voice said, "Wudi, rest assured, from now on, with this elder taking care of you, no one will bully you. Why are you crying?"

"Elder, in all my years of cultivation, apart from my master, no one has treated me so well."

"Good, from now on, sister will take good care of you."

"Good sister, you are truly gentle and kind. They all say you are so fierce, but only I know that you are just afraid of being looked down upon, pretending to be tough."

"Wudi, you understand me so well."

Yang Wudi coquettishly said, "It's a bit embarrassing to say, but when I first came to this side of the main hall, I saw sister at first sight and observed her secretly for a long time."

"Wudi..."

"Good sister..."

A hint of tenderness came through. Wu Wang calmly closed the jade token and exchanged a glance with Taoist Three Delicacies.

Taoist Three Delicacies asked through voice transmission, "Who are these two?"

"Ten Calamities Palace."

Wu Wang's expression became serious.

Taoist Three Delicacies nodded thoughtfully, having long heard of the reputation of the Ten Calamities Palace. He added, "They are meeting so openly, and this male calamity named Wudi is quite capable."

"This is not the Human Realm after all."

Wu Wang paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

He had already heard that Yang Wudi was deliberately trying to flatter that woman.

To flatter and feed the tiger with one's body, to be serious, although Yang Wudi obtained beauty, he also made a great sacrifice.

Reward him with a few hundred years of salary later, and even deduct a few thousand years of salary on the spot, there was no need to make a big deal out of it.

Should he take the initiative to contact Yang Wudi?

It depends on whether he can fully trust Yang Wudi.

This was not a question of questioning Yang Wudi's character and loyalty, but rather a doubt about Yang Wudi's abilities. After all, this time, they were not only facing the Ten Calamities Palace, but also the group of Evil Gods behind the Ten Calamities Palace.

"Senior," Wu Wang said, "please do me a small favor."

"Of course," Taoist Three Delicacies smiled, "Don't be polite. We cultivators should all contribute to the Human Realm."

Immediately, Wu Wang transmitted a few words to Taoist Three Delicacies, who nodded knowingly. Soon, he brought a cup of fine wine and Wu Wang swirled a finger in it.

Taoist Three Delicacies found a waiter, seized the opportunity, and sent the cup of wine to Yang Wudi's suite.

Knock knock, the sound of knocking on the door.

The somewhat impatient female voice sounded, "What is it?"

"Guest, the co-owner sent me to bring a cup of wine that strengthens the body and enhances vitality. It was ordered by the guest surnamed Yang before."

On the bed, under the thin blanket, the middle-aged woman with some charm lightly blinked.

Yang Wudi reacted quickly and soon blushed, muttering, "What's wrong with the co-owner? I said it quietly, and he made me lose face in front of sister!"

The woman furrowed her brows and whispered, "Wudi, how could you..."

"Elder," Yang Wudi's face looked a bit dim as he gazed into the other person's eyes, "I have always felt inferior inside. I come from a humble background, I am simple-minded, and I am looked down upon by spiritual cultivators because I am a body cultivator.

But at least, today, I don't want sister to look down on me!"

A pair of jade arms wrapped around Yang Wudi's neck, and the woman's eyes rippled as she whispered, "From now on, you will be sister's only companion, and sister will treat you well."

"I'll go get that wine."

Yang Wudi said softly, got up, put on his robe, and opened the wooden door to see a stranger, but he did not hesitate to drink the wine in one gulp.In an instant, the gray aura hidden in his divine mansion came to life again.

Master!?

Yang Wudi was greatly shaken, but he quickly suppressed the trembling of his pupils and showed a smile to the attendant, who bowed and left with the tray.

As he turned around, Yang Wudi felt extremely uneasy.

He thought that sneaking into the Third Palace was already a great stroke of luck and ingenuity, but he never expected that every move he made was under the watchful eye of the Master!

Even in this rumored hidden demon's nest, the most secretive place of demon suppression, he was found by the Master with precision and activated the long-hidden transformation aura within him.

This!

This, this!

The Master really doesn't care about those innate gods like the Deputy Deity of Lifespan?

With the Master here, what does Yang Wudi have to fear!

But the problem now is that he doesn't know what the Master thinks of his use of the handsome man strategy; he doesn't want to sell his strength and gain credit, only for the Master to find him not serious enough and give him...

"Put in more effort and act freely."

Wu Wang's voice suddenly sounded in his divine mansion, "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, I have seen your efforts and hard work."

Yang Wudi was almost moved to tears for no reason.

The Master approves of him!

In an instant, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he roared and pounced towards the bed.

However, Wu Wang and Three Delicacies Taoist had already left the suite downstairs and returned to Wu Wang's residence.

The earth shook and the curtains swayed, while the dark plum blossoms exuded their fragrance.

Half an hour later, Yang Wudi began to report on the situation inside the Third Palace that he had observed, and the valuable intelligence he provided directly earned him a great merit from Wu Wang.

According to Yang Wudi, the Third Palace of the Ten Calamities Palace is now the residence of the innate gods.

The Cloud City is not just a simple two-layer structure, but a three-layer one.

In addition to the Feather Clan nation floating in the clouds, the central Cloud City of the Southeastern Realm, there is also the "Southeastern Realm's Number One Black Market" hidden within the "Tree Stump" mountain.

Lin Qi is being held in a side hall of the Third Palace, and although he is unharmed, he has to endure inhumane trials every day.

The Deputy Deity of Lifespan is sitting in the Third Palace, seemingly to ambush experts from the Human Realm.

In addition to the thirteen innate gods and six evil gods, there are also a large number of divine guards, totaling around sixty thousand, completely filling the Third Palace.

When the innate gods descended, they directly tore open the void.

Once a major battle breaks out, more innate gods can come through the void at any time.

The original power of the Third Palace is not to be underestimated, as they have infiltrated every aspect of the Cloud City and radiate throughout half of the Southeastern Realm, with deep-rooted influence and possibly hidden tricks up their sleeves.

The elder that Yang Wudi has befriended is ranked around the teens and is in charge of the treasury.

What Yang Wudi had in mind was to investigate the number of experts in the Third Palace through this elder and pass on this information to the spies of the Four Seas Pavilion.

As long as he sees the accounts of the treasury, he will know everything.

—After all, even experts need to be paid.

After Yang Wudi finished speaking, Wu Wang couldn't help but mutter, "Why emphasize the salary so much?"

"Well, hehehe," Wu Wang said, "You have made a great contribution this time, and of course, there will be a reward for you."

"Then, Master... this...," Yang Wudi said softly, "Could you write a letter of agreement?"

"Sure."

The transformation aura turned into a shadow of Wu Wang, holding a long knife in hand.

"Come, let this Master write a letter of agreement on your primordial spirit, to make it clear and prevent this Master from going back on his word in the future.

After all, this Master is not a cruel person."

Yang Wudi's primordial spirit trembled all over, almost kneeling to Wu Wang, but he quickly shouted that he had something important to report.

Wu Wang put away the long knife, dissipated the shadow, and turned into that ball of gray aura.

"Speak."

"That Deputy Deity of Lifespan... I think there's something wrong with him."

At that moment, Yang Wudi briefly recounted his previous encounters and emphasized that he had already reached the Heavenly Immortal realm.

The position of the elder of the extermination sect should be given to him.

Yang Wudi also mentioned how to find the address of the Third Palace, as the other party had occupied half of the underground black market and was extremely arrogant.

After listening, Wu Wang fell silent for a while and said slowly, "Mortals are like ants, insignificant in the eyes of the Supreme, the arrogance of the innate gods is fully reflected in the Deputy Deity of Lifespan.

On the other hand, do you think that Poverty-stricken is now the strategist by the Deputy Deity of Lifespan's side?"

"There's no mistake, Master. Poverty-stricken follows the Deputy Deity of Lifespan every day and flatters him!"

Yang Wudi cursed, "Poverty-stricken is at least a powerful expert, on par with the Deputy Deity of Lifespan, and yet he does such disgraceful things."

"That's not to be underestimated," Wu Wang said, "Poverty-stricken's ability to control people's minds is only secondary, and his own strength is quite tricky, as is the Deputy Deity of Lifespan.

After all, this is an opponent who can contend with our King, and several pavilion masters had to join forces to barely match him."

Wu Wang asked again, "What about the Junior Deity of Lifespan?"

"Still here," Yang Wudi muttered, "I saw it with my own eyes. The Junior Deity of Lifespan was deprived of power by the Deputy Deity of Lifespan, and it seems that the former is very dissatisfied with the latter.But the Deputy Deity of Lifespan and the Junior Deity of Lifespan are siblings. The Junior Deity of Lifespan is in the city at the moment, but she hasn't had much contact with the Deputy Deity of Lifespan and the others.

I always feel that the Junior Deity of Lifespan looks down on the current Deputy Deity of Lifespan."

Wu Wang nodded slightly at the words.

Yang Wudi continued, "Among those innate gods, the strongest is said to be the God of Thunderstorms. He is an innate god who has undergone a great transformation in the Great Wasteland, which is a famous non-human realm in the West Wilderness.

He is cruel by nature and rules over the West Wilderness as a dominant force.

Also, he has condensed a great divine artifact, and his method is endless thunder, which seems to have a subtle connection with the Heavenly Punishment."

The Transcendent Heavenly Punishment and the Immortalization Heavenly Punishment are the products of the convergence of several great paths.

Wu Wang noted all of this down and constantly assessed the strength of these innate gods.

The Deputy Deity of Lifespan, the Junior Deity of Lifespan, the God of Thunderstorms, Poverty-stricken, Hissing Snake, and other evil gods, as well as a dozen or so skilled innate gods...

Even if you want to take this piece of meat by force, it's not that easy.

Yang Wudi asked, "What's next for us?"

"Protect yourself," Wu Wang said, "no matter what, your own safety comes first. The information given to you at this time is already of great merit."

"I understand," Yang Wudi smiled, "even if I say something against my will in front of the innate gods, the Master will surely understand."

Wu Wang:...

"You, don't be so sly, go and accompany your elder sister."

"Hehe, just acting, just acting."

Yang Wudi kept laughing, and his laughter was full of pride in the romantic field.

But Wu Wang completely concealed this gloom and temporarily cut off contact with Yang Wudi.

'This guy...'

The old face of the Three Delicacies Taoist leaned over and asked with concern, "Young Master Yan, how is it going?"

"I have already planted the surveillance of the other party's aura," Wu Wang apologized in his heart, and he couldn't casually reveal Yang Wudi's identity to the Three Delicacies Taoist.

The latter breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that doing these things would be quite interesting."

"Unfortunately," Wu Wang sighed with a smile, "the senior doesn't want to advance to prolong his lifespan. There are many good things in the world."

The Three Delicacies Taoist just nodded with a smile, but didn't say much, and there was inevitably some desolation in his eyes.

Wu Wang couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

What kind of story does this senior have?

What emotional entanglement is it to promise not to become immortal to someone?

He thought carefully and always felt that there was a mystery on the Three Delicacies Taoist that he couldn't solve, and he couldn't get too close to him.

'First, think about how to make a sudden attack.'

After sending away the Three Delicacies Taoist, Wu Wang sat by the window, holding a jade token in his hand, and began to make tactical plans and records.

Soon, he aroused the flames of the Sacred Fire Order and communicated secretly with the senior Shen Nong through the great path voice transmission.

In just half an hour, the various deployments of the Human Realm in the southeast region were set in motion.

A large net was slowly spreading out, gradually converging towards the city in the clouds.

...

So, three days later.

Wu Wang disguised himself and went out for a walk.

At this moment, although the human race in the city is not as numerous as usual, it still accounts for forty percent of the population, and the human race is not particularly conspicuous in this place.

As for these human races from outside the realm, Wu Wang, the Lord of the Punishment Hall, actually has no criticism of them.

Whether they speak ill of the Human Realm or oppress the weak with some cruel alien races, it has nothing to do with the Human Realm.

But if they eat the food of the Human Realm and still cause trouble for the Human Realm, then the nature of the matter becomes much more serious.

He carefully sensed and did not detect any great path fluctuations from the Deputy Deity of Lifespan and the Junior Deity of Lifespan, obviously the other party was deliberately concealing it.

As for the great path of the Thunder God, Wu Wang did capture it accurately.

It was indeed familiar, one of the great paths used to construct the Heavenly Punishment in the Heavenly Palace, and it was also the main great path.

If this Thunder God is defeated, can the great path of the Heavenly Punishment be stopped?

Wu Wang carefully pondered and realized that killing the Thunder God was not important. What was important was how to extract the Thunder Great Path from the Heavenly Palace.

If this can be done, no matter how many forces the Human Realm invests in this matter, it will be worth it.

- There is a group in the Human Realm that can step into the Transcendent Realm, but there is no certainty that they can withstand the Heavenly Punishment.

But after discussing with the senior Shen Nong, the senior Shen Nong gave a somewhat disappointing statement to Wu Wang.

"It is too difficult to seize the great path, and the Heavenly Palace is already on guard. The method used by the Emperor Shui Ren back then cannot be used now."

Wu Wang was somewhat puzzled by this, but he heard that the senior Shen Nong's voice was somewhat heavy, and he didn't ask more tactfully.

"Being able to kill one or two innate gods is the highest expectation of the old man for your trip."

Shen Nong admonished, "This is a battle to establish prestige, and it is also the first battle for the Human Realm to counterattack the Heavenly Palace. If we can win, it is of great significance to the Human Realm, even if there are more casualties than expected, the old man can accept it."

Wu Wang:...

This statement is similar to the words of comfort he gave to Yang Wudi.

In the next half month, the situation in the southeast region was truly turbulent and unpredictable, and Wu Wang was slowly manipulating the "divine net" that was cast down in the city in the clouds.

By the way, he also wrote down what he saw and heard every day in the jade token.

Outside the Cloud City, various experts from the Human Realm gathered.Lin Nuhao's secret contacts with the Featherfolk Nation were no longer a secret. Intent on coming to Yun City, the Lin family had gathered a group of experts in hopes of rescuing Lin Qi, only to be turned away at the Featherfolk Nation's gates.

The two sides were on the verge of a fight, but the Featherfolk Nation had its own difficulties and did not relent.

Master Wuwang and the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Evolution, Ling Xianzi, were about to secretly arrive in the Southeast Region.

Their whereabouts were a puzzle, but this news had the Heavenly Palace on edge, with a large number of divine guards appearing and assembling outside Yun City, ready to march at a moment's notice.

—In fact, this was a deliberate display of the 'Heavenly Palace's arrangement'.

What was hidden was truly lethal.

The 'Human Realm Irregulars' acting as the third force had made a significant move, suddenly appearing in the southern part of East Wilderness and launching a surprise attack on the gathering divine guards of the Heavenly Palace.

During those days, the oppressive aura of the innate Sky Gods in Yun City was particularly intense.

If one were to overlook the entire Southeast Region, they would notice that the openly arriving experts from the Human Realm had subtly encircled Yun City from the west, south, and north.

Meanwhile, inside Yun City...

Wu Wang opened his record jade slip and saw a series of Yang Wudi's names.

Upon closer inspection, they all read, "On such and such a month and day, Yang Wudi and a certain lady came to the Demon Suppression Site."

Four...

Four in total!

In just half a month, Yang Wudi had been frequently brought to this place by four elders and stewards of the Ten Calamities Palace!

Was this all an act, or was it a grand, emotional, ethical drama series?

Several times, Wu Wang had almost kicked the bald, muscular man flying.

However, the information Yang Wudi had coaxed out of his pillow talk... was truly juicy.

Positions such as the Elder of Sect Annihilation and the high-ranking secret steward of the Benevolent Emperor's Hall of Punishment were already prepared for Yang Wudi.

And each time, Yang Wudi's sweet nothings were different; he played the 'little bird relying on others' with the more dominant elders, and 'domineering and strong' with the softer ones.

Wu Wang, a wanderer from Blue Star, admitted he had learned something from Teacher Yang.

Of course, when it came to tactical theory, Yang Wudi was ultimately lacking.

"When do we make our move?"

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread.com".

Wu Wang pondered carefully. He hadn't been idle this half month and was ready to cause trouble, having already found the location for the teleportation formation.

Once they started, he would order Lin Nuhao to approach Yun City head-on, and a series of plans would unfold.

The arrow was on the string, but it was not yet time to shoot. To act now would be premature.

"Sigh... commanding a battle is such a hassle."

Wu Wang muttered to himself, pacing back and forth in the room.

At this moment, the Human Realm and the Heavenly Palace were competing in patience; whoever made the next move would likely lose the advantage.

Should he contact his old mother and ask for her opinion?

Wu Wang raised his hand to grasp the necklace, about to call out, when the necklace trembled lightly, and Cang Xue's voice suddenly rang out:

"Junior Deity of Lifespan is near you, be careful, Ba'er."

Wu Wang's spirit jolted, and before he could inquire further, he heard a commotion coming from below the high-rise.
