"Kai should be already at the late stage of the Alter Formation Realm, so for his life to have been on the verge of ending..." Liang thought to himself, his eyes narrowed in concern.

Through his connection with Kai, Liang could effortlessly sense the other party’s plight. Of course, this feat would have been impossible without the power bestowed upon him by the Thousand Derivations Rune.

Only moments ago, Liang had felt Kai’s fate line wavering dangerously close to extinction. Strangely, however, something unknown had intervened, shielding Kai’s fate from imminent peril. Such an occurrence was exceptionally rare, but it seemed Kai’s fate held more power than met the eye. Nevertheless, Liang sensed an unsettling unease lingering beneath the surface of things.

Kai should not have faced such perilous circumstances, given Liang’s intimate knowledge of his remarkable abilities. The other party was notoriously resilient, making it nearly impossible to vanquish. Unless...

A sudden realization dawned upon Liang’s mind, and he turned to face the Dong brothers, cupping his hand in a respectful gesture. "I have an urgent matter of utmost importance that I must address. I will meet the two esteemed brothers at the auction."

Without waiting for a response, Liang vanished into thin air.

Dong Tian Zi’s eyes flashed momentarily before he turned to Dong Tian Shu. "Has he discovered something?"

"Discovered something?" Dong Tian Shu shook his head dismissively. "I doubt it. Even if he has, his knowledge would be superficial at best."

Dong Tian Zi nodded in agreement, but his frown returned. "I still do not understand why you chose him. Dealing with someone like him would be a treacherous path."

Dong Tian Shu chuckled softly. "He would not be worth our efforts if he were an easy target. I have analyzed countless experts throughout the domain and have selected approximately 40 individuals, but it was he who possessed the most extraordinary fate aura I have ever encountered. Even that enigmatic woman from the Starry Sky Alliance pales in comparison to him."

Dong Tian Zi smiled slyly. "I’m certain that is not the only reason."

"Of course not," Dong Tian Shu responded, his expression hardening. "Among the individuals I have identified, he has the most humble background, a solitary cultivator hailing from a desolate planet who has simply been fortunate enough to stumble upon a few opportunities."

Dong Tian Zi’s brow furrowed slightly upon hearing this. He scrutinized Dong Tian Shu, but he had already turned and begun to walk away.

"Dong Tian Shu, what a cunning schemer," Dong Tian Zi hissed under his breath, his eyes glinting with cold contempt. "He undoubtedly aims to exploit Liang’s power and discard him when it suits his purpose. I would not be surprised if he harbored the same intentions towards me."

"The opportunity to ascend to the Immortal God Realm is something I need to acquire even if it means to...." Dong Tian Zi glanced in the direction where Liang had disappeared, shaking his head.

Moments later, he vanished into the void as well.

Shortly after, Dong Tian Shu emerged from the void, his sharp gaze surveying the surroundings with his ethereal will.

Satisfied that all was clear, he let out a sigh of relief. His stealthy return had been a precaution, in case anyone had overheard their previous conversation, explaining Dong Tian Zi’s brief delay.

Moments later, he disappeared once more.

Several hours after Dong Tian She second visit, a figure emerged from the shadows, its movements as silent as a whisper.

Dong Tian Zi had returned, his eyes sweeping the area cautiously before nodding and departing once again.

Several hours later, as the silence settled back into the void, another figure emerged, this time with an almost ghostly quietness. It was Liang, his smile cold and calculating as he regarded the very spot where Dong Tian Zi and Dong Tian Shu had just been.

"These two are indeed very cautious," he remarked, amusement dancing in his eyes as he followed the invisible trail of their departure.

His thoughts darkened like a gathering storm as he contemplated the broader implications. "It seems it’s not just Dong Tian Shu scheming against me, but the entire Dong Clan is embroiled in this intrigue." His expression hardened as he recalled all the grievances he harbored against them. "The Dong Clan... Hmph, they’ve offered nothing worth gratitude. They’ll have no one to blame but themselves for what’s to come."

With a thoughtful sigh, he closed his eyes briefly, organizing his thoughts before stepping forward. In a blink, he vanished, leaving no trace behind.

Moments later, he reappeared above the Heaven Fortune Domain. With another step, he descended onto the floating continent, this time encountering no resistance and landing with effortless ease.

Seconds later, he vanished once more, reappearing at the site of the recent battle.

In the aftermath of the fierce battle, the ground was scorched and scarred, bearing witness to the destructive force that had been unleashed. Liang’s universe sense detected faint traces of spiritual fluctuations, as well as residual energy from the fight.

His universe sense enveloped the entire region, releasing a surge of information that flooded his consciousness. Images and scenes flashed before his eyes as if he were witnessing them unfold firsthand.

"I see… So this must be Mi Ling," Liang murmured, a playful glint dancing in his eyes. "Here I thought I might encounter a hidden enemy lurking in the shadows."

His expression turned thoughtful as he assessed the remnants of her cultivation. "As expected, her prowess has blossomed tremendously; she’s already a half-step into the Void Return Realm." A cold smile graced his lips, a blend of admiration and recognition. "Clearly, the treasures at the auction were compelling enough to draw her out from the depths of the Devil Realm."

But then, the gravity of his thoughts shifted. "The other presence… This aura…" His brow furrowed as he sensed the energy intermingling with the remnants of the battle. "Senior Xuan?" he contemplated before shaking his head in frustration. "No, it bears a resemblance but is distinctly different… another Revenant."

Suddenly, the Thousand Derivation Rune materialized beside him, glowing with ethereal light. A powerful suction force emanated from it, drawing in every lingering aura and fluctuation like a celestial vortex.

After a few tense moments, Liang closed his eyes, delving deep into the currents of energy swirling around him. When he reopened them, clarity replaced uncertainty.

"I see her now… A female Revenant," he breathed, awe creeping into his voice. "She possesses formidable power." His gaze sharpened with intrigue. "It seems Kai has made an impressive ally."
