"… so, you're saying, Fei Huang planned a big game of chess against the reincarnated Wu Ran who doesn't even know he was made an opponent." Zuo Zhe said with a dark face.

The Millennium Ship stopped, hovering mid-air.

"He actually already knows since the beginning about the Heilong Realm, and later Wu Ran's reincarnation, and then dragged everyone in this game of chess." Zuo Zhe continued.

"Yes…" the disciples feebly answered, feeling afraid of Zuo Zhe's dark expression.

But, their leaders aren't afraid and confidently nodded. "Although the way you said it sounds wrong, but the gist is right." they answered with a wide smile on their faces.

Zuo Zhe's face couldn't be any darker. Combined with his unkept appearance because he has just woken up and didn't have time to wash up, he looked like a madman.

"Young master Zuo…" Li Tian and Feng Mo called, feeling worried that Zuo Zhe would go berserk.

But, the expected berserk mode didn't happen. They saw Zuo Zhe took a deep breath and his dark expression slowly cleared.

"It's fine." Zuo Zhe calmly spoke. "If we're stopping for now to wait for the reinforcements, then I'll go and wash up first then eat breakfast after." He said.

"Yes!" You Rou spoke. "I'll go prepare the breakfast now!" she said and hurried inside the cabin, bypassing Zuo Zhe.

"I'll go help." Lei Qing spoke.

"Me, as well." Qian Tian said.

What a joke. Fei Huang has played them all. Even though Cheng Sheng is an accessory to the crime, but he was forced. Although they have all tolerance for what Fei Huang did since the plan is for the peace of the world and everybody's safety, but for Yu Sheng and Zuo Zhe – who weren't that selfish, but they are still an independent party. So, it is right for Zuo Zhe to be mad, and also on behalf of Yu Sheng who went to the Heilong Realm, facing risks. Even if Mu Jun is his acquaintance, but Yu Sheng still has to face thousands of demonic cultivators and the demonic qi surrounding the Heilong Realm.

Even if his cultivation is in Ascension Stage, but one man can't face a thousand enemies alone.

Zuo Zhe watched them all suppressing their excitement because they are afraid to irritate him. What a joke! Me, be mad to a mere character in my book? He thought and secretly sneered. But, he's really mad. Not for himself, but for Yu Sheng. I really should've killed off this Fei Huang when I was still writing this story! He thought. Then, he paused. But, he can't sacrifice the thousand lives in the book just to vent his anger in one character, especially that they are all actually alive.

He sighed, then sat on a chair. Suddenly, he saw a cup of steaming tea placed in front of him. He raised his head. "Fei Lin." He called. He turned and saw that everyone has disappeared.

They must have gone inside the cabin to prepare a feast to receive the reinforcements. Although the Southmost Region is very far, but they have magical treasures to use, as well as arrays to shorten their travel.

Fei Lin smiled, uttered an excuse, and then sat in front of Zuo Zhe. Although Zuo Zhe said he'd wash up, but he was interrupted by You Rou, Lei Qing and Qian Tian earlier, so he remained and lost his energy to wash up and fix his hair. But, Fei Lin has the best temper so he has the most tolerance towards everything, including one's appearance of a madman's.

He ignored Zuo Zhe's messy hair and spoke. "I apologize for what my uncle has done." He started. "Although he did it to ensure everyone's safety, but this doesn't justify his actions." He said.

"I know, that's why I am mad." Zuo Zhe said. Seeing Fei Lin's downcast expression, he continued. "But, it's because it's for the greater cause, that's why I am suppressing my anger." He told him.

Fei Lin didn't speak and just let Zuo Zhe speak. Although Zuo Zhe's words are sharp, but what he said is the truth. That's why Fei Lin didn't retort, and because he knows that his uncle is really the one at fault here. What Fei Huang did is not trusting everyone. Although it's because there's not much time to summon all of the sect leaders to conduct a meeting and devise a plan, and that some sect leaders can't be trusted, but Fei Huang has crossed the line. This should've done by Zheng Fu Gong as the leader of the Righteous Alliance after Zheng Fu Gong asked the opinions of all the sect leaders.

Fei Lin sighed, lamenting. This should've been good news, but after the heat from this news has died down, their minds have cleared and finally straightened out their thoughts, thinking about the consequences of Fei Huang's actions. This must be why Mu Jun has taken away Fei Huang as a preempted move.

Zuo Zhe looked at Fei Lin fell silent. He could guess that Fei Lin has finally realized the consequence of Fei Huang's deed. He bit his tongue, thinking that he is really nice not to curse Fei Huang in front of Fei Lin, and to not rub salt on Fei Lin's wounds now. The others must also have gone inside to cool their heads.

Heh. He sneered. Ignoring the tea that has already cooled down, he went inside the cabin to wash up, leaving Fei Lin alone on the deck to think things through.

West, Youxiwang Sect.

"Sect leader Fei doing this without the consent of all the sect leaders…" Wu Yuan muttered and sharply inhaled a cold breath. "No. Elder Zheng must already know this. Elder Zheng should have given his approval on behalf of the rest of the sect leaders that has no knowledge of the plan against Wu Ran. But…" he looked at his grandfather and Chen Fu.

Chen Fu rubbed his long beard. "You're too naïve." He sighed.

Wu Yuan's grandfather sighed. "Yuan-er… although old Fei having a demonic cultivator as a lover is an open secret, and this demonic cultivator hasn't done a bad deed… but will you stomach this fact?" he asked.

"I can. If Ah Yi is a demonic cultivator, I will wholeheartedly accept him!" Wu Yuan answered.

Sun Yi, standing on the side, blushed. Tang Zhe smiled. Shan Lu whistled. Guo Cheng grinned while Tang Yun looked enviously at Sun Yi. Wu Xi patted Sun Yi's shoulder.

"Of course, since he is your lover." Wu Yuan's grandfather said and kindly looked at Sun Yi. "But, others wouldn't like it!" he told Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan frowned. "I don't care what they will…" he said.

His grandfather cut him off. "Because he's related to you, so you won't care!" he said. "Yuan-er. You're still too young for the sect leader position… I hope you'd think things through." He told him and sighed.

Chen Fu patted his shoulder and they left to tell the disciples to treat the Xiwang citizens' injuries. Although Wu Bai's puppets are a perfect copy in shape and appearance of the original people, but the injuries the puppets will receive will be passed on to the original people. This is why Wu Bai was kicked out of the Wu family, because the puppets are only half a step away from being demonic.

But, although the original people will be injured, but the pain and injury they'll feel are fortunately lessened. In short, the puppets bore the brunt of the attack. Thus, the citizens weren't actually completely safe, but still their lives weren't lost.

"Yuan." Sun Yi called.

Wu Yuan turned to him. "Why is sect leader Fei in trouble? He saved everyone's lives." He said.

Sun Yi sadly smiled. "Because there are some things that although was done for good, but is improper." He said. "This is the same with sect leader Fei's relationship with Mu Jun." he explained.

Wu Yuan was taken aback. "'improper'…" he muttered, his brows knitting.

"Mn." Sun Yi nodded. "Sect leader Fei hiding things, and then deciding everything on his own… as well as his relationship with a demonic cultivator…" he didn't continue.

Tang Zhe silently listened on the side. Added to the fact that this demonic cultivator is actually the emperor of the Heilong Realm, which is a big threat to the continent… he thought and lowered his head. "Let's go back." He said.

Tang Yun, Guo Cheng and Shan Lu turned to him.

"Let's go back to our sect. Everyone also needs to be treated." He told them.

"Yes!" they answered.

Tang Zhe turned to Wu Xi. "How about you?" he asked.

Wu Xi raised his Thought Talisman. "I'll go back with you and help." He answered.

"Thank you." Tang Zhe patted Wu Xi's shoulder. He looked at Wu Yuan and Sun Yi talking in the distance before he, Tang Yun, Guo Cheng, Shan Lu and Wu Xi all flew away, their figures in the sky becoming small until they disappeared.
