Sword Emperor

After learning about Sun Bing's current situation, he took a step forward and arrived above the Nine Heavens.    

Looking around, he saw numerous figures gathering from all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye.    

Some of them were like yellow bags, with six legs and four wings, looking rather ferocious.    

There were also green bamboos, bird bodies and human faces, their bodies emitting a strong life force.    

There were also python heads and human bodies, and they were covered in black scales.    

...    

All in all, every tribe had their own unique characteristics. Even though the two tribes looked the same, there was still a huge difference between them.    

Even though they were very far away, they could still feel the terrifying power contained within those figures.    

It could be said that all the cultivators who came to the Cloud River Valley were at least at the level of Senior Magi.    

Once these warriors died, it would mean that the tribe behind them would be completely destroyed.    

Except for the tribes that were rushing towards this place, the most conspicuous one was none other than Houyi.    

At this moment, Houyi was standing in midair, his eyes scanning the surroundings continuously, looking rather vigilant.    

However, only Sun Bing knew that he was actually secretly investigating a spy.    

Every time a tribe arrived, he would go up and chat with the other party amiably.    

Taking this opportunity, Houyi would immediately use the array plate that Sun Bing had gifted him to investigate the other party's bloodline.    

The most important thing was that the array plate this time was even more hidden and powerful. It could completely cover an area of several dozen miles.    

There was no need for any other actions. Just in the instant they chatted, Houyi was able to investigate the entire situation of the other party's tribe clearly.    

The Ghost Face Tribe cultivators who were unable to be discovered by ordinary means were as striking as the scorching sun in front of this formation.    

He didn't need any other means at all. A casual glance was enough to determine the true identity of the other party.    

However, even though he already knew that the other party was an enemy, Houyi did not rashly make a move. He only deeply remembered it in his heart.    

In secret, he told this news to Sun Bing.    

Just as Houyi had guessed, the Ghost Face Clan's hidden spies were much more than what he had imagined.    

Apart from the few Magi who had been secretly preaching about the Ghost Face Clan, there were also four other people hiding in the dark.    

If Houyi hadn't noticed this earlier and spread the news about Yunchuan Valley, the consequences would have been unimaginable.    

In just a few days, thousands of tribes had gathered in the depths of Yunchuan Valley.    

Even so, the entire Yunchuan Valley was still relatively calm.    

Only Sun Bing and Houyi knew what sort of intense undercurrents were hidden beneath the seemingly calm valley.    

Another two days passed, and ten thousand tribes arrived.    

At that moment, even Sun Bing's face was filled with a grave expression. He immediately found Houyi in secret.    

"Fellow Daoist, according to the information we received earlier, the ten thousand tribes will gather around sixty percent of the tribes in this place and capture all of them in one fell swoop.    

Before, they might have restrained themselves from attacking easily, but now, over ten thousand tribes have gathered.    

I think even the powerful warriors among the ten thousand tribes might have other thoughts."    

After learning of this news, Houyi appeared extremely serious. He then nodded his head heavily.    

"We have to be careful about this. However, the only good news is that those Ghost Face Tribe cultivators are still contacting the other tribes and urging them to hurry here."    

Hearing this, Sun Bing could not help but let out a sigh of relief, but he quickly reminded them.    

"Even though that is the case, we still have to make preparations in advance. It would be best if we attack before the other tribes are prepared.    

If they waited until all the tribes gathered, the Ten Thousand Ancient Races would also start making preparations.    

At that time, even if you attack first, they will be able to react very quickly."    

How could Houyi not know about this?    

Thus, after pondering for a moment, he could see that Houyi nodded slowly.    

"Looks like I will have to arrange everything tonight. I hope brother can forgive me. I will take my leave first."    

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.    

When he was greeting the various tribes earlier, Houyi already knew who the Ghost Face Tribe was pretending to be.    

With Great Monarch's current strength, it was easy for him to contact the other cultivators in the dark.    

Furthermore, all the cultivators who were qualified to come here were all powerful warriors of the Shaman Tribe. Their mental and spiritual will were incomparably firm.    

Even if they knew some secrets, they could not find any clues on their faces.    

The short night passed in the blink of an eye. Xia Wu slowly opened his eyes.    

He was a witch from one of the tribes, and the person hiding his identity was a spy of the Ghost Face Tribe.    

Although his cultivation was only at the Emperor Realm, he could be considered a true high-ranking member of the Ghost Face Tribe.    

To him, today was no different from the past.    

However, the strangest thing was that Xiawu keenly sensed that the atmosphere of the entire tribe and even the entire Yunchuan Valley had changed significantly.    

However, after a careful investigation, he didn't find any clues.    

The warriors in the tribe still bowed respectfully to him. Occasionally, they would see the witches of the other tribes chatting enthusiastically with each other for a moment, as if the strangeness from before was just an illusion.    

After pondering for a while, Xia Wu couldn't help but shake his head and muttered to himself,    

"It seems that the plan is about to succeed. Even my state of mind is affected. Everything is just an illusion."    

Shaking his head, he cleared all the unnecessary thoughts in his mind. Then, he saw a familiar figure walking over from afar.    

The other party was a comrade of Xiawu, and they were very familiar with each other. Xiawu had no choice but to greet him after seeing him.    

"Hahahaha, I thought that I would never have the chance to meet again in my life. I never thought that I would be able to meet again today."    

"Xia Wu, I never thought this day would come."    

The figure smiled and continued.    

"Although you were talented back then, you were the weakest. How are you now?"    

As soon as he said that, Xia Wu's expression changed instantly. Then, his face was filled with fury as he said,    

"Didn't you rely on cultivating for a few more years than me? As for now, why don't you give it a try?"    

"I'll give it a try. I'd like to see how you've improved over the years."    

The old man also did not shrink back at all. In fact, he could not help but provoke:    

"Oh right, bring your tribe's little brat along. It's a small matter between you and me. They are the future."    

The Wizard Tribe was a martial artist to begin with. It was perfectly normal for two of their good friends to spar during normal days.    

It was because of this that the Wizard Tribe was so powerful.    

However, if one stood above the nine heavens, they would be able to see that the various tribes of the Wizard Tribe in Cloud River Valley were running around for various reasons.    

Their destination was either a mountain range, a forest, or even the sky.    

The whole operation seemed ridiculous and reasonable. No matter how smart a person was, they would not be able to find out what was going on.    

Only Sun Bing knew that the plan had begun.
