The meeting of the Eight Great Emperor Clans concluded.
The Yun Clan Emperor Clan, Tantai Imperial Clan, Eastern Imperial Clan, and Ancient God Emperor Clan began discussing some matters and plans.
The Xiahou Emperor Clan, meanwhile, waited for the Yun Clan Emperor Clan to suffer a setback.
As for the other Emperor Clans that did not participate, they also felt that the Yun Clan Emperor Clan's actions were indeed a bit reckless.
Thus, they chose to observe from the sidelines.
What they didn't know at all was that the Yun Clan Emperor Clan did this simply because they listened to Jun Xiaoyao's suggestion.
In Jun Xiaoyao's view, as long as this time was successful, coupled with the Moon God Holy Clan, which had already secretly defected, the Five Great Holy Clans basically posed no significant threat.
After that, they could focus on dealing with the Four Direction God Hall.
Jun Xiaoyao's ambition was not merely to let the Yun Clan Emperor Clan plunder resources in the Xuanhuang Universe.
Instead, he wanted to completely occupy the entire Xuanhuang Universe.
This would certainly require eliminating some obstacles.
The Five Great Holy Clans and the Four Direction God Hall were the biggest obstacles.
This was absolutely something other Emperor Clans could never have imagined.
After finalizing the plan, the Yun Clan Emperor Clan and other forces began to gather their armies and march majestically towards the Gu Shang Domain, where the Floating Pagoda Holy Clan was located.
And this, naturally, could not be hidden from the Four Great Holy Clans.
Although the Four Great Holy Clans did not show up, it did not mean that they were not concerned about the movements of the Outer World Emperor Clan.
"Hmph, is the Outer World Emperor Clan trying to provoke a War? In the end, they will be the only ones to suffer!"
Upon learning this news, the high-level powerhouses of the Floating Pagoda Holy Clan all snorted coldly, with disdain.
They were not afraid.
Firstly, the powerhouses of the Outer World Emperor Clan could not exert their strongest power in the Xuanhuang Universe.
Secondly, if the Outer World Emperor Clan really intended to attack them, the other Holy Clans would not stand idly by.
After all, the Four Great Holy Clans were now in the same boat.
They would prosper or suffer together.
And sure enough, not long after, a powerhouse from the Tai Xu Saint Clan spoke up.
"Outer World Emperor Clan, do you intend to break the tacit understanding?"
"If you do not abide by the rules and attack the Holy Clans, it will trigger an all-out War, which will benefit no one."
But then, someone from the Yun Clan Emperor Clan spoke up.
"Within the Floating Pagoda Holy Clan, there is a great evil person who once caused great harm to my Boundary Sea and likewise poses a great danger to your Xuanhuang Universe."
"Therefore, my Yun Clan Emperor Clan is eliminating harm for the common people. How can this be considered breaking the rules?"
When the powerhouses of the Floating Pagoda Holy Clan heard this news, they were practically angered into laughter.
"What a 'great evil for the common people'! I'd like to see what great evil exists within my Floating Pagoda Holy Clan!"
The entire Floating Pagoda Holy Clan was filled with immense indignation.
Wasn't this clearly an excuse to slander their Floating Pagoda Holy Clan?
However, within the entire Floating Pagoda Holy Clan, only one person was extremely flustered.
Naturally, that was Floating Tu Yan.
When the Yun Clan Emperor Clan mentioned that there was a great evil within the Floating Pagoda Holy Clan, he felt a bit flustered.
After all, he knew that the Origin he had obtained, its original owner, was definitely not a benevolent person.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to create such an overbearing and evil Demonic Technique.
"No, it must be a coincidence. No one knows that I am that mysterious Devil Head," Floating Tu Yan comforted himself.
But then, news that surprised the Outer World Emperor Clan and even the Four Great Holy Clans emerged.
It was spread, though by whom was unknown, that the mysterious Devil Head who had previously massacred many Prodigies of the Xuanhuang Universe was none other than Floating Tu Yan of the Floating Pagoda Holy Clan!
As soon as this news broke, it swept across all directions like a storm.
"How is this possible?"
"Floating Tu Yan of the Floating Pagoda Holy Clan, did he kill those Prodigies?"
"That's right, didn't you notice? Before, Floating Tu Yan was just a dissolute Disciple, not among the top Prodigies in the Holy Clan.
"But during the Xuanhuang Ancient Road, he reached the end, practically a rising new star."
"And the mysterious Devil Head also happened to appear on the Xuanhuang Ancient Road. This is too much of a coincidence."
"Could it really be true?"
Just as various forces were puzzled, more shocking revelations were exposed.
Recording stones were circulated.
These were stones that could preserve image imprints.
Since Jun Xiaoyao had made Floating Tu Yan a scapegoat, he naturally would have prepared all the evidence beforehand.
And people saw the scene in the recording stone: the Mysterious Black-Robed Man who secretly attacked on the Xuanhuang Ancient Road was indeed Floating Tu Yan.
At this point, those who had been skeptical were now completely convinced.
That mysterious Devil Head was indeed Floating Tu Yan, without a doubt.
What was surprising was that after the news broke, the biggest reaction did not come from the various Emperor Clans, but from the other Holy Clans.
"Damn it, it was someone from the Floating Pagoda Holy Clan who killed our clan's Prodigy!" In the Ancestral Spirit Domain, an Ancient Ancestor-level figure from the Ancestral Spirit Holy Clan was enraged.
Because Sword Spirit Child was a Prodigy of his lineage, originally with boundless prospects, but ultimately perished in such a humiliating manner.
Before, they had been preparing to reinforce the Floating Pagoda Holy Clan.
Now, let alone reinforcement, it would be good if they didn't kick them while they were down.
In addition, a Big Shot from the Tai Xu Saint Clan was also furious, because a Prodigy from the Tai Xu Saint Clan had also fallen at the hands of the mysterious Devil Head.
As for the Moon God Holy Clan, there was even less to say; they had already defected and secretly cooperated with Jun Xiaoyao.
It could be said that this move completely scattered the hearts of the already unstable Four Great Holy Clans' alliance.
Of course, what was most concerning was not Floating Tu Yan himself, but the Legacy he possessed.
If that Demonic Technique were to spread, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In a deep palace within the imperial capital of the Wangyue Dynasty in the Ancestral Spirit Domain, the Princess sat languidly on the throne, her black hair cascading like a waterfall, her beauty unrivaled in the Universe.
But beneath her golden mask, her deep, beautiful eyes showed a hint of contemplation.
"The Demonic Lord Origin inheritor, is it Floating Tu Yan of the Floating Pagoda Holy Clan?"
Previously, she had considered Jun Xiaoyao highly suspicious.
But now, news had been exposed, and it was conclusive evidence: Floating Tu Yan was that mysterious great Devil Head, also known as the Demonic Lord Origin inheritor.
However...
The Princess always felt that something wasn't quite right.
Outsiders might not know, but she understood that the Demonic Lord Origin would not simply attach itself to anyone.
It possessed a certain degree of autonomy and would seek out a suitable host.
Upon hearing this news, she also had someone investigate this Floating Tu Yan slightly.
He could be described as mediocre and unremarkable!
No matter what, the Demonic Lord Origin would not choose Floating Tu Yan, such a dissolute and mediocre person.
"Could it be..." The Princess's beautiful eyes flickered.
"Is he a scapegoat?"
"Then the person manipulating him from behind..."
The Princess pondered.
She only felt that this was a possibility, but she couldn't be one hundred percent certain.
Meanwhile, in another Void Realm of the Xuanhuang Universe, a black-robed woman appeared, her face covered by a blood-red mask.
Her body, like white jade, was faintly visible beneath the black dress, appearing graceful and alluring.
"Floating Tu Yan, huh? But why is this Demonic Lord Origin inheritor so careless...?" The black-robed woman frowned slightly.
Logically speaking, as the Demonic Lord Origin inheritor, he should be a peerless overlord with both strength and cunning.
But why did she feel that this Floating Tu Yan was so unreliable?
He had actually let it become known to the entire world.
But no matter what, since it was related to the Demonic Lord Origin, she naturally couldn't ignore it.
