Chapter 1387: Ruthless Enough

Shi Xueyun soon went off to attend to her own duties. With the merger of the two factions, there was an overwhelming amount of work to handle, and there was still plenty to stay busy with.

The most relaxed person was undoubtedly Yi Tianyun—though it could only be considered temporary leisure. For now, all he needed to do was wait, waiting for Divine Lord Yu Qin to lure that Grand Elder over so he could eliminate him directly.

“Ding! Successfully caused a second-grade God Domain to join your faction. Gained 1,000 compressed EXP and 1,000 compressed proficiency. At the same time, ‘I Am the Domain Lord’ has received a minor enhancement, increasing its power by five times!”

“There’s even a reward like this?”

Yi Tianyun felt delighted. This was exactly the kind of reward he liked. He hadn’t expected that having another faction join him would grant such a special bonus—and one that was so straightforward and brutal. Even the effects of his title had been strengthened.

This meant that if more factions continued to join him, the power of his title would keep stacking, growing stronger and stronger. The only issue was that convincing other factions to join him was still extremely difficult at the moment.

This made him think of the Tianyu God Domain. If they could join his side, not only would it expand his current strength, it would also further enhance his title’s power. Why wouldn’t he want that?

“Tianyu God Domain… but getting them to join won’t be easy.”

Yi Tianyun shook his head. Given the current situation, other God Domains were unlikely to choose submission. Rather than obey someone else’s command, they would prefer to rule themselves. No one would casually hand over authority.

This matter could only be set aside for now.

“I wonder how things are going on Divine Lord Yu Qin’s side…”

What concerned Yi Tianyun most was this issue—it would affect the future course of events.

Crippling most of the elders meant Sacred Peak God Domain would suffer massive losses. When competition began later, things would undoubtedly become much easier. Even with other God Domains present, Sacred Peak God Domain had already been dealt a heavy blow.

While Yi Tianyun was worrying about this, Divine Lord Yu Qin finally returned to Sacred Peak God Domain. Under the gaze of numerous powerful figures, she rushed in while severely injured and dropped to her knees.

“What happened?”

When Domain Lord Sacred Peak and the others saw Divine Lord Yu Qin, they were immediately shocked—especially the Grand Elder, who sprang to his feet.

“Domain Lord Sacred Peak, I—I’ve returned from gathering intelligence… all the others are dead. I barely managed to escape alive. I’ve confirmed the general situation… the elders were captured alive and imprisoned within the Three Realms God Domain. As for their exact location, I’m not sure… The experts there are extremely insidious. Their cultivation isn’t very strong, but they rely heavily on traps…”

After barely finishing those words, Divine Lord Yu Qin passed out on the spot. She had lost too much blood, and her injuries were extremely severe—so severe that her life was hanging by a thread. Without immediate treatment, she could very well die.

“Take her away for treatment!”

The Grand Elder stood up and waved his hand, signaling the guards to carry her away. His expression was extremely grim.

The guards immediately took Divine Lord Yu Qin away for treatment. None of the Heavenly Venerables present bothered with further inspections or soul-searching. In her condition, attempting that would likely kill her before yielding any results.

After Divine Lord Yu Qin was taken away, everyone’s expressions grew solemn. From her report alone, they had already learned crucial information: the elders were still alive, they had fallen mainly due to ambushes and traps.

Heavenly Venerables were powerful, but even they could fall victim to schemes. From this alone, it was clear that the Three Realms God Domain was far from simple.

“Despicable! Truly despicable!”

The Grand Elder clenched his teeth, his gaze icy.

“So it really was ambushes. No wonder Heavenly Venerable Beiyue’s final message mentioned ‘ambush’! But since they’re still alive, we must launch a rescue. If we don’t, they’ll either be killed later—or used as bargaining chips to force concessions from us.”

“Heavenly Venerable Nanming is right,” another Heavenly Venerable stood up in agreement.

“They’ll likely use them as leverage, possibly to force us to withdraw from the God Domain War. Instead of waiting, we should strike first! Even if Wan Tian God Domain is behind this, we must fight them head-on!”

Domain Lord Sacred Peak’s face darkened. This wasn’t a simple matter—it depended on the Heavenly Venerables sent down from the Inner God Domain.

“Senior brothers, how should we decide this?” he asked.

“If they’re alive, then rescue is indeed necessary,” one Heavenly Venerable said after thinking for a moment.

“If we miss the opportunity, we truly could be threatened. But even then, withdrawing from the God Domain War is impossible. It seems we must personally intervene. Even if it costs us some fortune, we must rescue them—and destroy the Three Realms God Domain, to show the other God Domains the power of Sacred Peak God Domain!”

“My lord, that absolutely won’t do!”

Heavenly Venerable Nanming hurriedly objected.

“Fortune is extremely important—especially when determining the spawning location of the Token Core. If our fortune declines, it could appear far away, making it much harder to seize.”

The involvement of Inner God Domain experts could indeed affect fortune. Helping once or twice was fine, but too much interference would cause serious trouble—especially regarding where the Token Core appeared.

This wasn’t speculation—it had happened before.

“Oh? So you intend to go yourselves?”

That Heavenly Venerable frowned and swept his gaze over them.

“Are you capable?”

“We were careless before. This time will be different,” Heavenly Venerable Nanming said firmly.

“We’ll make full preparations and bring five Heavenly Venerables. I’ll personally lead the team. As long as we aren’t careless, we’ll definitely succeed!”

Based on Divine Lord Yu Qin’s report, the failure had been caused by negligence. The enemy’s overall cultivation wasn’t strong.

He had no reason to doubt her. She was injured to this extent and bound by an oath. Moreover, she had no connection to the Three Realms God Domain—there was no reason for deception.

“Very well. Just don’t make another mistake. This is a critical moment,” the Heavenly Venerable said coldly.

“We’ll get it done. If we fail, I’ll offer my head!”

Heavenly Venerable Nanming swore a military oath. In his view, as long as they weren’t ambushed, there was nothing to fear.

This time, they would be fully prepared before setting out.

Soon, five Heavenly Venerables were dispatched. After some time passed, Divine Lord Yu Qin finally awoke, her body still extremely weak.

“Five Heavenly Venerables…” she murmured.

“I hope you can create a miracle this time. I can only help this much.”

This was a classic bitter-flesh scheme. She had brutally injured herself and returned in a near-death state, ensuring no one would dare soul-search her.

It was incredibly dangerous.

There was no denying it—Divine Lord Yu Qin was ruthless enough with herself.
