Chapter 1092 Tang Clan's Departure
Chapter 1092 Tang Clan's Departure
After a few days of preparation, Dongfang Jing, Dongfang Xuexian, Ma Zui, Yao Shengyun, and Ye Fengyan went to the Tang Clan because they had already decided to go with Tang Chen to the supreme realm. Regarding their clans and sects, they had already appointed their successors to take charge of all matters. Moreover, they wouldn't be gone forever, and they wanted to come back after they broke through to the three immortal realms, so they could bring all their members there in the future.
Bu Tianbeng and Fei Hong had also arrived at the Tang Clan, and they handed over the affairs of Xinxi Tower to their trusted men. Additionally, they ordered them to prepare some things according to Tang Chen's instructions, which were to prevent the destruction of the Sky and Star Cloud Realms.
Everyone from the Tang Clan prepared to journey to the supreme realm, leaving the entire area of their clan residence empty. The Tang Clan members who traveled from Earth with Ling Yun also decided to join them.
Tang Chen immediately took out his battle flying artifact and ordered all his clan members to load all the items there, making the situation in the clan become busy again because their items were simply too many.
"You two don't need to think about Jingling; I'm sure she'll be fine in the mysterious tower, and you guys will meet her again after Ling Yun goes to the supreme realm." Tang Wuchen and Bu Lianxin nodded to Tang Chen, who immediately turned to the young girl beside him. "Do you miss your father and the Brilliant Realm, Chiel?"
"Yes, uncle." Chiel replied as he looked into the distance. "I was born and raised in my realm, and I have never left it before. Moreover, I won't be able to come back for a very long time, so I'll definitely miss it a lot. As for my father, I know that he did it out of necessity, but I still hate his decision to give me to that evil beast, and I might have died if it wasn't for you and the golden dragon king."
Tang Chen nodded in understanding and stroked Chiel's head. "I understand that what he did was wrong, but due to the slave mark in his soul, he couldn't resist Qiong Qi's orders, so you should learn to forgive him."
"Yes." Chiel just nodded to Tang Chen.
A few hours later, the Tang Clan members had already loaded all their belongings onto Tang Chen's battle flying artifact. He then led them to board it, with the cultivators from the Star Cloud Realm following closely behind.
Tang Chen did not immediately take them away from their realm and gave them time to observe the realm, especially since their journey to the supreme realm would take a very long time, and they would not be able to return anytime soon.
After they were satisfied, Tang Chen immediately flew his battle flying artifact, which right away shot away at high speed, leaving the Star Cloud Realm. Even so, those people kept looking back towards the realm, including the people from the Tang Clan, because they had stayed in the realm for too long.

Inside the ice cave. Yue Mengyi, who was helping Feng Huang heal her injuries, smiled to herself. "My husband and the others have already left our realm, but it will take them a few months to arrive at this supreme realm because his battle flying artifact is not as fast as your husband's, and he will take them to the Thousand Beast Realm directly."
"Actually, the Shidai is not my husband's, but he borrowed it from Old Man Zao Nianjian, and it is the fastest flying artifact in this supreme realm." Feng Huang then turned back to Yue Mengyi. "How long do you think it will take for me to fully recover?"
Yue Mengyi shook her head in response. "I know you are worried about Xiao Xiao, but your injuries are only 50% recovered, so you will still need three to four months to fully recover."
"Three to four months, huh?" Feng Huang mumbled and nodded in understanding. "Even though it's still quite a long time, I'm very satisfied with it. If I hadn't met you, my injuries would have definitely taken hundreds of years to fully recover. However, those evil people should have already reached the mysterious tower by now, and I fear they may be able to catch up with my children. If they discover that Xiao'er is my daughter, they will undoubtedly capture her and use her to coerce my husband into surrendering to them."
"Who exactly are those people, Sister Huang? Why are they targeting your husband?"
"They are people from the ancient devil race, and their leader is an ancient devil named Xie Zuzhou." Feng Huang's answer surprised Yue Mengyi. "Beside him, there is a powerful female devil named Qi Wuhei, and she is no less vicious than her husband. My husband found two valuable items that seem to be related to those immortals, so they are trying to steal them for themselves."
"Two valuable items related to the immortals?"
"Yes." Feng Huang nodded to Yue Mengyi. "One of the items, a large fragment of a mirror, continues to emit a pure energy that my husband has never felt before, leading him to suspect its connection to the immortals. He tried searching for clues about it, but was unable to find any, so he hid it in a location that no one else knew about, including me. The second item, a blood crystal, was unknown to him, but he discovered it because it guided him through the dream."
"In my entire life, I have never encountered an item capable of guiding people through dreams, indicating that it is not just any ordinary item. Perhaps it is an item of immortal grade, and it might belong to one of the immortals."
Feng Huang nodded to Yue Mengyi once again. "Unfortunately, my husband does not know exactly what kind of item it is, but it has been of tremendous help to us in achieving our current cultivation. However, the item is not in his possession now, and he entrusted it to Zhizun Buxiu. In return, he protects our realm from the ancient devil race."
"Zhizun Buxiu?"
Feng Huang promptly provided Yue Mengyi with an explanation. "Zhizun Buxiu is an ancient human, and his cultivation has reached the supreme immortal, making him the strongest cultivator in this supreme realm. That's the reason Xie Zuzhou doesn't dare to attack our realm directly because he will immediately move to stop him, and this realm will become chaotic if the two of them fight with each other. We do not know how he learned of our son and the others' departure to the upper realms, and he sent hundreds of his race to hunt them down."
"Has Brother Tianhuo checked on his clan members and the others? Perhaps there is Xie Zuzhou's spy among them, or he might be controlling some of them, so he could know of their departure."
Feng Huang let out a heavy sigh before answering Yue Mengyi. "My husband and the other leaders of the mythical beasts had checked all their members, but they couldn't find any clues that Xie Zuzhou was controlling their people. In addition, they had implanted trackers into their bodies, but none of them had been made contact with the ancient devil race."
"That's weird." Yue Mengyi then fell into thought. "I'm sure that Xie Zuzhou is controlling some of them, but he probably used some method to conceal it. However, my husband has an item to detect such things, so we should wait for him to arrive at this supreme realm, and I'll ask him to help Brother Tianhuo later."
"That's good." Feng Huang then faced forward again and closed her eyes. "Please help me to recover faster, Sister Mengyi. I'm really worried about my two children, so I want to go to the mysterious tower again to protect them."
"All right, I will try my best."

A week later, Ling Yun and the others had successfully defeated the beasts on the 42nd floor, but everyone, especially Ling Yun, appeared frustrated. They had to waste a significant amount of time clearing just one floor, and with 58 floors remaining before they could reach the top of the tower, it would take more than a year to clear them all.
Unfortunately, a year wouldn't be enough for Ling Yun to clear all the floors because their numbers were not that large compared to when Tang Chen challenged the tower in the past. Back then, he challenged the tower with the help of countless cultivators from the Sky Cloud Realm and the Star Cloud Realm, but it still took him years to reach the 90th floor, and only a few of them were able to do so.
"The natural races are safe, and the devil race has been wiped out from these upper realms." Ling Yun turned to Zhou Yu in surprise. "Hun Lingwang sent the news to me a week ago, but you were busy with those beasts, so I only told you today. Vraxus swallowed Tao Tie to death, the golden dragon king killed Qiong Qi, and Tang Chen crippled Hundun."
Ling Yun nodded in understanding. "The heretics and the Earth Cloud Realm have been destroyed by Tang Chen, and the devils have also been wiped out now, so these upper realms should be safe, right?"
"Not yet." Zhou Yu replied with a shake of her head. "Did you forget that there is still the Netherworld Realm? Wang Jinlong and the others were unable to enter that realm due to their protective formation, and Taowu is still alive within it. Moreover, there are still so many demons scattered across the realms, and there are still so many cruel cultivators living here, so the situation will never be completely safe."
"The Netherworld Realm, huh?" Ling Yun muttered softly as a slight smirk appeared on his face. "After we clear this tower, we'll head straight to that realm. Wang Jinlong might not be able to break the barrier, but I might be able to create something from the materials I found in this tower to break it."
Zhou Yu did not doubt Ling Yun's words, especially since she already knew that his clones were also training his blacksmithing skills in the dream space. Since he could create anything there without limits, and the flow of time there could no longer be followed, it was natural that his blacksmithing had reached a high level. "Anyway, Hun Lingwang informed me that after Vraxus summoned Xie Zuzhou's avatar, a woman named Huang Hao appeared and saved the natural races, and she proclaimed herself as the leaders of the primordial chaos dragon's loyal followers."
