That night, there were no stars in the sky—only an endless stretch of darkness like a pitch-black cloth covering everything.
Inside the luxurious VIP reception hall of the Immortal Eternal Sect, bright lights illuminated the room, sharply contrasting the eerie silence within.
Ruo Yan Wuji and Zhuge Yu sat facing each other, beginning a serious discussion.
“Sect Master Zhuge…” Ruo Yan Wuji said with a heavy expression. “The elite disciples of your hall and my sect have been slaughtered in large numbers by the Huangfu Sacred Sect. What is your opinion on this matter?”
Zhuge Yu’s eyes instantly turned ice-cold. She slammed her hand on the jade table with a loud *bang*.
“This palace will completely wipe out the Huangfu Sacred Sect!”
“Good!” Ruo Yan Wuji nodded immediately. “But this matter requires careful planning. It may take 100 years, or at least several decades, before we can jointly march to seize Fallen Heaven God Valley.”
Zhuge Yu nodded slightly, her expression stern.
“Although the Huangfu Sect has declined, some old monsters are still alive. We cannot act rashly.”
Ruo Yan Wuji let out a cold laugh, then continued with a voice filled with killing intent.
“9 years from now, the disciples of the 3 ancient sects will participate in the ‘God Battlefield Trial’ in your palace. May I ask what your plan is?”
Zhuge Yu smiled coldly.
“The plan? Simple. Kill every disciple of the Huangfu Sacred Sect.”
Ruo Yan Wuji nodded in satisfaction, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
“When it comes to competing for entry into the God Battlefield, our sect will cooperate with your palace to eliminate all Huangfu Sect disciples who attempt to seize qualification slots.”
“And once the trial begins… we will wipe out all Huangfu Sect disciples inside the God Battlefield!”
“Agreed!” Zhuge Yu replied immediately.

Then, Ruo Yan Wuji suddenly stood up and respectfully bowed deeply toward Zhuge Yu.
“Sect Master Zhuge… I have one request. I hope you will grant it.”
Zhuge Yu was slightly startled.
“Sect Master Ruo Yan, what are you doing? What is this about? Please rise. This level of courtesy is unnecessary.”
After Ruo Yan Wuji sat back down, he said solemnly:
“Sect Master Zhuge, in my eyes, your palace is a powerful ally—true partners who support each other.”
“To be honest, from the very first time my son met Nangong Yuqin, he fell hopelessly in love with her and vowed he would never marry anyone else.”
“As his father, I must personally come and make this request.”
“I hope to take this opportunity… to propose marriage on his behalf. I hope you will consider it favorably.”
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yu frowned, her expression turning cold again.
“Sect Master Ruo Yan, we have known each other for a long time. There is no need to beat around the bush.”
“Nangong Yuqin is the Saintess of my palace, and in the future she is destined to become the Palace Master. Do you think I would agree so easily?”
Seeing her reaction, Ruo Yan Wuji quickly responded with a sincere tone:
“Sect Master Zhuge, please do not refuse yet. Let me finish.”
“First, Nangong Yuqin is the Saintess of your palace, and my son is the future successor of my sect. Their statuses are equal—truly a perfect match, a union blessed by fate.”
“Second, if the two are married, our palace and your sect can jointly govern both forces, sharing authority in balance. My Immortal Eternal Sect has absolutely no intention of taking control of your palace.”
“Second point, and the most important reason…”
Ruo Yan Wuji paused briefly. His expression became extremely solemn, his eyes cold and deep.
“Intelligence from spies in the Tianpeng Mountain Range reports that ancient forces from beyond the mountains… have begun to move. They harbor ambitions to seize the Eternal Lands—including your sect’s God Battlefield.”
“Only through a marriage alliance between our two ancient sects can the ancestors of both sides set aside their differences and join forces to resist external enemies—should that day of invasion truly come.”
“That is why I have come in full sincerity to propose this marriage. I hope Sect Master Zhuge will consider it carefully.”
After a long silence, Zhuge Yu slowly spoke.
“Sect Master Ruo Yan… as you know, Nangong Yuqin is the eldest princess of the Nangong Sacred Dynasty. Matters of her marriage are not something I alone can decide.”
Ruo Yan Wuji gave a faint smile, his tone slightly lowered.
“Sect Master Zhuge, you are being too modest.”
“I have heard a little about your relationship with the Sacred Empress of Nangong. Your words… carry significant weight with both the Empress and the Sacred Emperor.”
The “Sacred Emperor Nangong” he referred to was Nangong Yuqin’s father, while the “Sacred Empress” was her mother.
Zhuge Yu gave a cold smile, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes.
“Sect Master Ruo Yan, your intelligence network is quite detailed.”
Ruo Yan Wuji quickly waved his hand with a polite smile.
“You misunderstand. I did not deliberately investigate you. It is simply that, as someone operating deep within the Tianpeng Mountain Range, I must understand the power structure of the world in order to plan accordingly.”
“Mm, I understand.” Zhuge Yu took a deep breath, then spoke slowly. “To be honest, I also strongly agree with strengthening ties between our two ancient sects.”
“But the Sacred Emperor Nangong and the Sacred Empress may not agree. This matter will require further consideration.”
Ruo Yan Wuji, experienced in matters of power, immediately understood—this was a subtle refusal.
But he did not rush.
“Haha, it is fine, it is fine. I only mentioned it today in passing. If I have been rude, I apologize.”
Knock, knock, knock!
Suddenly, urgent knocking echoed from outside, followed by a panicked female voice.
“Sect Master Zhuge! Something has happened to the Saintess! You must come immediately!”
“Yuqin!”
Zhuge Yu stood up abruptly, quickly excused herself to Ruo Yan Wuji, and rushed out of the VIP room in haste.
After she left, Ruo Yan Chen stepped into the hall, his eyes filled with anticipation.
“Father… how did it go? Did Sect Master Zhuge agree?”
“No.” Ruo Yan Wuji shook his head calmly.
“Father! You must help me!” Ruo Yan Chen pleaded.
Ruo Yan Wuji chuckled softly, as if thinking of something. His gaze carried the confidence of a man who controlled the entire game.
“Chen’er, do not rush.”
“I am certain that within 100 years… Zhuge Yu, the Sacred Emperor Nangong, and the Sacred Empress will all accept this marriage.”
Ruo Yan Chen paused. “Why is Father so confident?”
Ruo Yan Wuji let out a low laugh.
“Because within no more than 100 years—or at least several decades—your Heavenly Ancestor will break through to a new realm and emerge from seclusion.”
“When that time comes, if the Heavenly Ancestor personally comes to propose the marriage… I do not believe they would dare refuse.”
Ruo Yan Chen smiled brightly in excitement.
“Father… if the Heavenly Ancestor personally intervenes, I will definitely marry Nangong Yuqin!”

At the same time—
Zhuge Yu hurried to the second floor of the VIP building where Nangong Yuqin was temporarily staying.
Creak!
When the door to her private room was pushed open—
What appeared before her made Zhuge Yu freeze completely.
Her eyes widened, her body trembled violently.
Tears instantly welled up.
“Yuqin… my dear disciple!”
“What has happened to you?!”
