There are currently four people sitting around the table, in the middle, the one that looked like a leader looked smirked at the other three: "The time is almost near, we will finally gain enough strength to challenge the four clans and the empire."
The other three nods their head, they also couldn't help but feel excited, one of them then spoke: "Although we will only be getting p.a.w.ns, there will be many to help us destroy the Empire through and through."
"Leader, I would like to take possession of the Guang Clan's territory and its resources."
The leader nodded and in a matter of factly manner replied: "Of course, every one of you will gain your territory, after all, we will be the new sovereigns of the Myriad Earth Abyss continent!"
All of them laughed, then, something entered their sensor.
"Who's there?" The leader spoke, his fierce eyes scanned his surroundings.
All four of them are Celestial Phenomenon ranked, the three at mid-rank while the leader is at the peak.
At this moment, they can feel a strong presence lingering within their base, one needs to know, their headquarters is located in an unknown place with thousands of experts eight kilometers underground.
Being able to infiltrate this place unnoticed and not causing any alert, they must be highly skilled in infiltration.
Then, as the four of them became alert, a fat shadow appeared from a dark corner, she's currently smiling as she held a box in her hand: "h.e.l.lo everyone." She greeted politely and handed the box: "Our monarch wishes to congratulate you four in accomplis.h.i.+ng something."
Her eyes smiling together with her lips.
The leader frowns; 'Although she doesn't look like it, she's a middle stage Celestial Phenomenon ranked expert...' As he thought of this, he looked at the box; 'We've accomplished something...'
He wasn't afraid, he could defeat the person in front of him, but if the one behind her is someone stronger than he is, he might have another opponent to fight other than the empire, after thinking for a while, he reached his hand and took the box: "Are you from an unknown organization?"
The fat lady chuckles: "Yes, I am merely a messenger, so I hope you understand that I can only answer limited questions."
The leader smiled back at her, although she's smiling left and right, he could feel an eerie murderous aura surrounding her: "Then, I take it that within this box is the reward for our accomplishment?"
The fat lady nods her head repeatedly: "Yes, although my master hadn't said anything about it yet, I know that he will approve of our action when he comes out of his straits."
The leader immediately caught much information, her master is secluded and had no knowledge of the current event transpiring between the two of them.
"Then, would you like to stay here for a while to have a chat? We've not had any guest for a while." The leader smiled and looked at the box; 'it's sealed tightly by a formation...'
The lady waved her hand as she shook her head repeatedly: "Oh, how could I intrude when I've come in uninvited."
The leader didn't really wish to let her stay here further: "Then, until we meet again?"
The fat lady chuckles: "Yes, yes, we will see each other real soon."
When the fat lady was about to leave, the leader then asked: "What accomplishment had we done to deserve a reward?"
The fat lady was still smiling as she walks her way out, but as she heard his question, she looked at the leader, her eyes opened slightly, enough to glare at the leader and spoke: "Oh that, you've accomplished p.i.s.sing us off."
With the glowing fierce red light of the fat lady, a smirk appeared on her lips as she vanished completely without a single trace.
The leader frowns as he opened the box, he saw a single head: "This... Elder Tan's head?!"

Five days quickly pa.s.sed, they didn't rush their travel as every minute they tried to recover whichever injuries they had, for True Sun Monarch, losing an arm is definitely not something that he could recover.
Mo Xie looked at it and couldn't help but sigh; "If I have a healing Saint ranked herb, then, there might be a chance to regrow that limb."
True Sun Monarch shook his head: "We've lived here for who knows how long, we've heard of Saint Ranked herbs, but never had seen it...
There are stories about it being as common as gra.s.s within the Celestial Realm, but that's it, only our ancestors had seen it, we descendants had not a clue what they are, there are only Immortal grade herbs within this divine land."
True Sun Monarch smiled: "Well, it wouldn't be so bad, my fighting style does not rely heavily on physical contact, I am suited much more in long-range attacks, it will not affect me much."
Mo Xie remained silent, even a long-range type expert needs to arms to fight, it's also needed whenever one's enemy comes closer, they just rarely use it is all, but two complete arms are necessary, always was and always will be.
Soon, the sight of the tall wall can be seen. Mo Xie stood up as a smile formed on his lips: "We're back."
On the wall, many Immortal Saint and Immortal Paragons were on guard, scouting the area are Immortal Ascension ranks, dozens or so groups of Celestial Phenomenon ranked experts would go here and there to check on for any events.
A barrier stood tall surrounding the Solar Blaze Tribe completely. Mo Xie couldn't help but commend: "What a great formation..."
He stopped midway as he remembered the Sugandium's Void Emperor: "We need to take care of those."
"Master, I've come." As Mo Xie fell into his thought, Kara arrived beside their flaming chariot.
Mo Xie looked at her, visible injuries from the previous fight still can be seen. He nods her head: "How big were your losses?"
Kara immediately reported: "Master, we've lost fifty of my generals but we managed to take out more than a hundred of theirs."
Mo Xie nods his head: "But you've lost more of your lower centipedes compared to theirs?"
Kara frowns deeply before nodding her head: "Yes, we've lost more three of my children for one of theirs."
That's a lot of damage that couldn't be replaced any time soon, he sighed before saying: "We will definitely replenish your losses soon."
Kara nods her head: "Master, with the humans on our side, it will be easier, well, it will only for my children."
Mo Xie smiled: "Any updates?"
Kara immediately reported: "Master, soon as all of you managed to escape, the Void Creatures' army followed, although they are marching in a snail's pace, they will definitely arrive here in less than fifteen days."
"Any alarming movements from them other than that?" Mo Xie inquired.
Kara shook her head: "They are too confident, they are marching without a plan."
"The Trantul, Swalrowei, and the Sugandiums, the three strongest armies though, they are falling behind."
Mo Xie frowns: "Three of the strongest factions of the Void Creatures..."
He immediately found two reasons for it, one, they are conserving their strength to have a full swing attack or... mutiny, the Trantul being the strongest faction before the Headless Void appeared, they will definitely feel belittled. But he couldn't use it, after all, who knows, maybe these three will only revolt after the Headless Void became exhausted, and if the latter didn't get exhausted, they will still go out together without any infights happening within their race.
He then moved his gaze to True Sun Monarch: "We need to deal with the Sugandium Void Emperor before we can have a chance with defending."
True Sun Monarch and the other two nods their head, after all, although any of them can deal with the Sugandium Void Emperor, a single blow can destroy their defense.
Mo Xie remained silent for a while before saying in a low tone: "We need to ambush it."
"Ambush?" True Sun Monarch asked.
Mo Xie nods his head: "Not just any ambush, but kill it immediately, we'll move all of our force, and when they are apart from the main force, we will do everything we can to kill it and retreat."
Everyone was shaken, if that was to happen, they will face against a really strong faction, The Sugandium with overwhelming strength, the Swalrowei with their overwhelming speed, and the Trantul that's completely versatile.
And dealing with these three together with their army, it will be an equal battle with all of the Solar Blaze Tribe's forces, they will sacrifice so many people in the process, and their strength will further decrease.
But they can't definitely wait for the full forces of the Void Creatures to arrive, they will only hold out for a few years while stopping the Sugandium, and if they could deal with the latter, they can borrow a few more years of time.
