After a brief explanation, Chen Fan understood the origins of the two domains.
"Continuing with what we were discussing, what do you think the Chi Yang Domain intends to do?" Chen Fan asked again.
"..."
There were no answers.
No one could guess.
At this moment, a faint voice emerged from the back.
A fourth-tier Heavenly Emperor, who had turned his head from the Seven Kill Realm, raised his hand. "Is it possible that the Shen Xiao Domain and the foreign powers plan to launch a preemptive strike on the Sword Domain, and then the Sword Domain and the Chi Yang Domain will cooperate to trap them?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads sharply to look at the speaker.
"..."
For a moment, the scene fell silent.
The fourth-tier Heavenly Emperor was startled and quickly lowered his head. "I was just saying..."
"Don't be nervous."
Qi Sha patted the other's shoulder, offering encouragement.
Only the two of them were left alive among the Heavenly Emperors of the Seven Kill Realm.
Everyone else was dead.
Qi Sha's encouragement gave the other party a lot of confidence.
Chen Fan smiled, "There is indeed a possibility."
Not only him, but the others also agreed.
Everyone wore expressions of complex emotions. "If that's the case, then our opportunity has arrived."
Yes, opportunity.
Whether it was the Chi Yang Domain or the Shen Xiao Domain.
If, as discussed earlier, both sides would commit their full forces.
Even if they left anyone behind, it wouldn't be many, at most two seventh-tier figures would remain to guard.
Perhaps, even just one.
If that were the case, then the Shen Xiao Domain or the Chi Yang Domain would have an opportunity to break through.
"I'll probe again," Chen Fan said, his excitement growing.
He seemed to see an opportunity.
With that, he closed his eyes.
Buzz.
The omnipresent Yin and Yang once again flooded Chen Fan's consciousness.
This time, his consciousness expanded northward.
Soon, a trace of hidden, boundless Great Dao power spread towards him.
"Who?"
He was discovered as well.
But this time, to Chen Fan's horror, he saw four colossal balls of light.
His consciousness shattered instantly.
"Ugh."
Chen Fan vomited blood.
When the consciousness was injured, it also affected the main body.
"City Lord, are you alright?" everyone asked with concern.
Chen Fan trembled with excitement. "It's confirmed, I saw it. The Shen Xiao Domain is rapidly opening up the chaos and heading towards the Sword Domain."
Upon hearing this, Chu Laomo and the others immediately rejoiced.
"However..."
Chen Fan's tone suddenly shifted. "I sensed the power of four eighth-tier Great Emperors in the Shen Xiao Domain."
"What..."
This was earth-shattering news.
The Shen Xiao Domain actually possessed four Great Emperors.
Emperor Yu exclaimed in horror, "Did the Shen Xiao Domain summon three eighth-tier Great Emperors from beyond the domain?"
As everyone knew, the Shen Xiao Domain only had one eighth-tier figure.
The four great worlds of the Lei Domain also only had four eighth-tier figures.
The only possibility was that those three came from beyond the domain.
For a moment, no one spoke.
This news was indeed shocking. Now that the Shen Xiao Domain had rebelled, it was four against three. No... temporarily, it should be four against two.
The Dragon King had not yet appeared, and no one knew if he would participate in the battle.
The Shen Xiao Domain launched a surprise attack on the Sword Domain.
Even if the Sword Master was capable of fighting the strongest in the world and was fighting on home turf, fighting against two was his limit.
Could the Chi Yang Domain, which was not fighting on home turf, withstand the combined might of the other two eighth-tier Great Emperors?
"Hoo."
Emperor Yu exhaled slowly.
He looked at Chen Fan and said, "City Lord, this time, it might be a crisis for my Lei Domain. Although I have animosity with the Chi Yang Domain, I do not wish to see the Lei Domain fall under the control of outsiders."
"Even if the Dragon King killed all the people of the Lei Domain and controlled it in his beast form, I could accept that. But outsiders... no."
This was their home.
Qi Sha and the others also nodded.
Regardless of anything else, they were all native citizens of the Lei Domain.
No one could accept watching their homeland occupied by outsiders.
Chen Fan frowned.
He had no feelings for the Chaos.
However, he was willing to listen to others' opinions. After a moment of thought, he said, "We cannot participate in the battle on that side. If we follow your thinking, the only way to fight for a sliver of hope for the Lei Domain is to launch a surprise attack on the Shen Xiao Domain."
Perhaps by shattering the Great Dao of the Shen Xiao Emperor, they could alleviate the pressure on the Sword Domain.
"That's what I was thinking as well," Emperor Yu said.
The probability of the Lei Domain's defeat was too high.
If they could reduce some pressure on the Sword Domain and the Chi Yang Domain, there might still be a chance.
"Then it's settled. We'll launch a surprise attack... No..."
Suddenly, Chen Fan's mind was struck by lightning.
Everyone looked at him.
The lingering thought in his mind sent a chill down Chen Fan's spine.
He quickly said, "You say the Chi Yang Domain is secretly rushing towards the Sword Domain, surely with the intention of ambushing them. You say, how did the Lei Domain learn of this news?"
Such a significant event would certainly be kept secret by the Shen Xiao Domain.
It was certain that everyone who knew this information would be monitored.
However, judging by the reaction of the Chi Yang Domain, they had clearly learned of the Shen Xiao Domain and the foreign powers' alliance and surprise attack.
"That's not right."
Hearing him say this, everyone realized.
Yes, how did the Chi Yang Domain and the Sword Domain get the news?
There was something fishy, definitely something fishy.
"Is it possible..."
The Heavenly Emperor of the Seven Kill Realm who had made the suggestion earlier, like a primary school student, raised his hand to speak again.
Everyone looked at him.
This Heavenly Emperor, named Li Pu, was somewhat nervous, but still spoke under pressure, "Is it possible that the Shen Xiao Domain deliberately lured foreign powers in, and together with the Sword Domain and others, orchestrated this encirclement and annihilation?"
"..."
The scene fell silent again.
If there was indeed a mole, it must be from the Shen Xiao Domain.
The foreign powers would not betray their own kind; they wished nothing more than to kill all the people of the Lei Domain.
"If that's the case... we can't launch a surprise attack on the Shen Xiao Domain," Chen Fan said.
Of course, this matter was not yet confirmed.
"We cannot sit and wait for death."
Finally, Chen Fan spoke, "We will immediately head to the Shen Xiao Domain."
The others looked at him.
"I can't explain it clearly."
Chen Fan shook his head. "I always feel that things are not that simple."
Were the outsiders foolish?
Would they really commit their full forces, trusting the Shen Xiao Domain so easily?
But if they didn't trust them, then there must be a backup plan.
Without needing further explanation, everyone understood.
"Go."
Chen Fan immediately ordered, "The Life and Death Realm will proceed to the Shen Xiao Domain immediately."
The decision to go to the Chi Yang Domain was once again overturned.
Guessing was useless; they had to investigate in person.
Boom.
The Life and Death Realm changed direction and began to carve a path northward.
The Chaos was boundless, and battles were breaking out everywhere.
These were smaller worlds where battles had not yet ended.
The Life and Death Realm had now been promoted to a sixth-tier Great World, and ordinary people did not dare to approach.
Especially after the Yu Domain fled and spread the news about the Life and Death Realm, no one dared to harbor any intentions.
From afar, seeing the Great World surrounded by life and death, any world they encountered had to make way.
