"Gentlemen, I believe you are all aware of the fact that the Northern Zhou has pacified the grasslands. In the great grassland war, an unknown Supreme being finally used the Ten Yang Technique to bury the Golden Wolf Khan, thoroughly ending the Golden Wolf Han Court.

The other participants included Yin Tianxia of the Yin Demon Sect and the formidable demon beast summoned by that unknown Supreme being."

Elder Shiming paused here and looked at Qing Yu, "Xuantian, you hold a significant position in Northern Zhou; do you know the exact details?"

Though there were many onlookers when the battle took place, those qualified to know the details were all warriors above the Divinity Realm or confidants like Xu Tiecheng and Xiao Qiye.

Anyone who hadn't reached the Divinity Realm and dared to approach the battle of the warriors would be courting death. The mere aftershocks of the battle could obliterate any eavesdropper without a trace.

"Oh? Xuantian, are you from that area of Northern Zhou?" Zhu Tian asked, seemingly very curious.

All other Nine Heavens Members turned their gaze toward Qing Yu, as if wanting to see which familiar face lay behind that unseen visage.

'It seems my previous evasive answer angered Elder Shiming, and now he wants to give me a warning.'

Facing the probing gazes of the crowd, Qing Yu remained unflustered, leisurely supporting his head with his hand while pondering why Elder Shiming was doing this.

When the Northern Zhou army first began their advance into the grasslands, Elder Shiming tried to contact Qing Yu, hoping Qing Yu would negotiate to make Northern Zhou withdraw.

However, Qing Yu himself had proposed this war, so how could he slap his own face by doing such a thing? Therefore, he casually brushed off Elder Shiming.

After that, needed for preparations in the grasslands, Qing Yu didn't have the time to deal with Elder Shiming, so he directly blocked the Array Pattern on his Jade Pendant. Until the end of the war, Elder Shiming had no way to contact him.

For this reason, Elder Shiming intentionally leaked a bit of information about Qing Yu to warn him.

"Ha, you could say so," Qing Yu chuckled, "I do have some standing in Northern Zhou, and I'm relatively clear about the details of this war."

"Then please tell us, what exactly is the truth, Xuantian?" Ji Chengtian said lightly.

"Hold on," Qing Yu raised his hand, pointing to the suspended Cangtian Throne, "Before that, I want to ask Bian Tian, why is Cangtian absent?"

"Seems like Xuantian knows quite a lot!"

Upon hearing Qing Yu's words, Elder Shiming fixed his eyes on him and said slowly and very seriously.

"Quite a lot, for instance..."

Qing Yu deliberately paused, "The Golden Wolf Khan is Cangtian, right?"

Just like the sudden onset of the harsh winter, the atmosphere beneath the Heavenly Vault instantly turned cold as ice, with everyone silently watching Qing Yu and Elder Shiming, processing this shocking news.

"I didn't expect that there would be a third Supreme in the Nine Heavens, and that he would be the Wolf King of the Golden Wolf Han Court. Moreover, a Supreme from the Jyapan side also appeared in the previous war. It seems the relationship between the Golden Wolf Khan and Jyapan is not shallow," Qing Yu said.

The oppressive atmosphere was broken by Qing Yu's words, and Yang Tian was the first to speak, "Not of our kind, their heart is surely different. Bian Tian, allowing the Golden Wolf Khan into the Nine Heavens was your mistake."

He seemed to be an obvious advocate of Central Plainsism, repelling all foreign individuals.

Meanwhile, everyone also tacitly observed the actions of others, as if wanting to see if there were other alien clan members among the Nine Heavens.

"Allowing the Golden Wolf Khan into the Nine Heavens was a necessary strategic requirement. Without his cooperation, it would have been impossible to organize an army to advance from the Western Regions to the Central Plains," Elder Shiming replied.

"Then who knows if there's another strategic necessity involving the alien clan? Gentlemen, among us, several have revealed their identities; the remaining ones needn't hide any longer. Why not simply remove your disguises and reveal your true selves so that everyone can feel at ease with their allies?"

It was Flame Sky Lin Lingshan who spoke, he was among those who had revealed their identities as members of the Nine Heavens.

Currently, among the Nine Heavens, those who revealed their identities included Jun Heaven Nangong Duanjian, Elder Bian Tian of Fate, Shengde Empress Chengtian, Flame Sky Lin Lingshan, and the Cangtian Golden Wolf Khan King killed by Qing Yu.

Calculated in this way, more than half of the Nine Heavens members had revealed their identities, leaving only Zhu Tian, Xuantian, Yang Tian, and Hao Tian yet to disclose themselves.

Lin Lingshan's move was precisely to drag the remaining ones into the open, urging everyone to completely unveil their identities.

"Flame Sky, whether or not to appear is up to me and is none of your concern. Right now, we're discussing the Golden Wolf Khan, not about revealing identities," Yang Tian snorted coldly.

Everyone present was wily and wouldn't believe Flame Sky's talk of preventing alien clans.

The Nine Heavens were not united; revealing identities later might have more of an informational advantage. Sometimes it is this small advantage that determines life, death, success, or failure.

"I don't mind either; let's leave it up to Bian Tian to decide. Anyway, he knows all our identities." Qing Yu chuckled as he passed this trouble to Elder Shiming.

Haha, you intended to warn me with that identity info earlier, but now it's my turn to give you trouble.

This is the Nine Heavens, where allies and rivals coexist, each member with hidden agendas. Otherwise, with the Nine Heavens' strength, they might have swept across the world long ago.

"Alright," Ji Chengtian interrupted their argument, "whether to reveal identities should depend on personal willingness."

"Xuantian, I only want to know, who is that unknown Supreme being? And how was the demon beast summoned?"

"You'll have to ask Yin Tianxia about that; it was the ally she summoned. Intelligence suggests that the Supreme being was covered in Blood Essence, evidently proficient in Blood Path Divine Skill. Perhaps that person is Blood Demon Sect Leader Xue Ya. As for that demon beast, I wasn't there, so I don't know how it appeared," Qing Yu replied.

Essentially, don't ask; if you ask, I don't know.

"Enough, regarding that Supreme being, we'll discuss it at a later time," Elder Shiming said, "Next, let us discuss who shall assume the Cangtian Throne. Since many have revealed their identities, I no longer need to secretly search for a suitable person. Gentlemen, if you have any candidates, feel free to speak up.

But keep in mind, whoever assumes the Cangtian position must have strength and status worthy of the Nine Heavens."

Every member of the Nine Heavens is renowned, with the least being a dominator of one side; allowing an unqualified person to mix in would be a disgrace to all.

Thus, recommending one's own subordinate is ruled out first. No one would accept a member's subordinate standing on equal footing with them.

But if they don't recommend their own subordinates, then whom should they recommend?

To recommend a Supreme, that Supreme must also agree. If there had been a Supreme who could be invited into the Nine Heavens, Elder Shiming would have attempted it long ago.

"I have a candidate in mind; I wonder if they would be suitable?" Qing Yu proposed, "How about Ren Piaomiao, the master of the Piaomiao Sword Palace—'Autumn Water Duckweed'?"
