An Immortal Foundation ranked expert from the Blood Mist Shadow sect.

"Speak, where are you from? The Dark Guild will never be able to produce a disposable p.a.w.n with your caliber!" Shang Ting interrogated.

"Ha... hahaha, a woman leads this group of experts?" The expert snickers, looking from left to right, many Immortal Foundation rank with Ouyang Chen being the only Immortal Ascension rank.

He was the only Immortal Foundation rank expert leading the experts to annihilate the remaining survivors from their coup, they want to eradicate every expert that is against them.

All of them frowns hearing his words, but the man didn't stop there as he added: "A mere woman, sooner or later, you all will die, what's the use of struggling?"

Shang Ting hearing this waved her hand, grabbing into the air as a sword appeared and immediately placed it on the expert's neck: "Speak, where are you from?" 

She repeated herself, if there's anything that could help them a bit, even identifying their enemy's name would be a great help.

"Ha! Even if I tell you, you will ne-" He was about to continue ridiculing Shang Ting, but Ouyang Chen intervened.

"Is it the Blood Mist Shadow Sect?" Ouyang Chen spoke seriously, his eyes staring daggers at the man.

Hearing Chen's guess, the man lost his words to speak, but immediately, a sword slashed through his neck.

Shang Ting had slashed his neck cleanly, making his head roll on the ground all the way to her feet: "Brother Chen, tell me what you know about this Blood Mist Shadow Sect you speak of."

A second's hesitation was all Shang Ting needed for confirmation, seeing the person's determination to act tough, it will be a waste to prolong the inevitable.

Still, her action caused others to be shocked speechlessly.

Ouyang Chen sighed, Shang Ting had been holding quite well considering her soft nature: "It's like the Dark Guild's version from our land the Myriad Earth Abyss."

Shang Ting nods her head: "How strong are they compared to your clan?"

"Based on what they've shown, they are a little bit weaker than us." Chen replied immediately, confirming what they've always known from their intel.

"You said that there are ten other continents like the Fallen Leaf Continent right? It's surrounding the Myriad Earth Abyss Continent?" Shang Ting asked.

Chen nods his head: "Yes, and I think that they too had scattered their forces throughout all these ten small continents."

Shang Ting nods her head: "You think that it's not a big deal right?"

Chen felt confused with her words: "What do you mean?"

Shang Ting is a person that thinks a lot, both what might be the best and the worst outcome, hence, she asked a question: "How many clans are aiding the ten continents?"

"Four, the Ouyang Clan is the 3rd amongst the four, the Choi Clan 2nd, the Fong Clan 1st, and the Fu Long Clan 4th." Ouyang Chen spoke casually: "We will be dividing our forces to help the continents tide over this mess."

Shang Ting nods her head, she then dropped the bomb: "You think everything will turn out well? Since your clan and the other three made their move?"

Ouyang Chen smiled: "Not really confident, but if we aren't enough, there are still the two other powers from the Myriad Earth Abyss ready to play their hands, the strongest power of the continent, the Lightning Jade Empire will be there to guard everything, while the Supreme Martial Sect has might that isn't even weaker than the former."

"These two are the true foundation of the Myriad Earth Abyss, without any of these two, there will most likely not be any Myriad Earth Abyss at all." Chen stated quite proudly, after all, his Ouyang Clan has ties with the Supreme Martial Sect, his mother belonged there, an elder of that Sect!

Shang Ting sighed: "You've grown too safely."

Ouyang Chen's brows lift up in confusion: "Sister Ting, what do you mean?"

"Had you ever considered if even one of the Clan from the Myriad Earth Abyss had betrayed your duties?" Shang Ting asked seriously.

"Not just that, if there weren't any traitors within the four great clans, are you sure the smaller clans and sects aren't in cahoots with that Blood Mist Shadow Sect?"

"No, let me take it out too, what if even five of the small continents fell into their hands, gaining their resources in preparation for future plans."

"Had you thought of... what if any of this happened? Or what if... all of it happened?" Shang Ting asked in a serious tone.

Ouyang Chen became shocked, he didn't even need to think deeply, after all, if they could plant chaos within the ten continents without so much as causing any alarm until it is late, could it be that they had also taken a much deeper root within the Myriad Earth Abyss Continent?

What's worst, it could also be possible if... a power is covering their track...

Shang Ting smiled: "Don't worry, let's just hope that it will all go well, the best thing is, I informed you of some possibilities."

The word 'some' struck Ouyang Chen, after all, there are multiple paths, many worst possibilities that might be occurring unnoticed within the Myriad Earth Abyss!

"Sister Ting, what have you thought, that might be the worst outcome..." Ouyang Chen asked.

He felt afraid. If these things were something that Shang Ting, someone that had never seen the Myriad Earth Abyss can speculate, what possible course could be more frightening.

"Well, there is that..." Shang Ting paused for a bit: "The Blood Mist Shadow Sect is luring, decreasing the experts of the four clans, removing their attention from the Myriad Earth Abyss, so together with the power backing them, to attack it and conquer it in one fell swoop."

Ouyang Chen felt fear from hearing it from Shang Ting, that's what he had thought too, especially if either the Lightning Jade Empire or the Supreme Martial Sect are secretly helping them, it will be the end of the Myriad Earth Abyss' balance.

Shang Ting sighed: "No use of thinking of the future, let us focus in the present first."

Ouyang Chen smiled wryly, he nods his head: "Then, what should we do now?"

"Based on what we've seen here..." Shang Ting looked at the survivors before continuing: "We need to divide our forces..."

Ouyang Chen wanted to reject this idea, but then.

"Matriarch!"

"Mom!"

From the northwest and the northeast, two groups approached.

Shang Ting looked back, her seriously expression couldn't help but soften, her serious lips started to arches up as she spoke: "Qing'er..."

The little girl had grown up now, she rushed at her mother for a ma.s.sive hug.

The reunion of the mother and daughter was seen, n.o.body made a sound for a while as Shang Ting patted Aiqing's head and the latter hugging her mother tightly

Meanwhile, another two that seemed to had been forgotten couldn't help but look at each other: "Bro, I think we should've arrived half an hour later..."

Of course, these two are the twins, Mo Duan and Mo Tian, the latter sighed: "We're here to help, stop being weird already."

"But..." Mo Duan wanted to protest: "I wanted to have a reunion with everyone."

Mo Tian heaved a huge sigh as he spoke: "You should mature now, we've traveled through the Beast Kin's territory, and instead of growing up and being more matured, you've gone worst and started to fight them every hour of the day."

Mo Duan pouted: "But bro, look at this bod of mine! full of awesome scars!" As he finished speaking, he smiled, flas.h.i.+ng his white complete teeth.

"...." The elders and Mo Tian looked at Mo Duan speechlessly, this shameful fella is too crazy.
