"Minor Destiny Technique?"

"Sounds quite impressive. Let's see what this guy is up to then."

Li Yun thought about it. Since he wasn't in a hurry anyway, he might as well watch the show. He was also quite curious if this person named Huang Xuanzi could really divine his whereabouts.

Approximately one hour later.

Protector Zeng Siming's subordinates and the other three Dragon Palace Protectors, along with their respective subordinates, all arrived.

"What is this?"

"Twenty Heaven Grade Treasures?"

"And sacrifice twenty thousand years of lifespan?"

"You must be joking. Can you believe something like this?"

"Are you sure that Huang Xuanzi isn't a swindler?"

The other three Dragon Palace Protectors, Tie Hai, Ling Dao, and Chen Wansi, after learning what had happened, all widened their eyes. Their first thought was that Protector Zeng Siming had been tricked.

The conditions were too harsh.

Just hearing it, there was a strong sense of being conned, and it was simply unbelievable.

The three of them were even so angry that they wanted to find trouble with Huang Xuanzi.

They planned to forcibly capture Huang Xuanzi.

If he was a swindler, they would kill him. If he wasn't a swindler, even better; they would directly force Huang Xuanzi to help them divine. Whether it was the twenty Heaven Grade Treasures or the sacrifice of twenty thousand years of lifespan, they could avoid it.

But the result...

Even when the three of them joined forces, they still couldn't break through the circle that Huang Xuanzi had drawn.

Instead, they were taught a very painful lesson by Huang Xuanzi with just a slap each.

Only then did they realize in horror that the cultivation of this Master Huang Xuanzi had actually reached the terrifying Evolving Dao Realm, which was two major Realms higher than theirs.

For a moment, the entire crowd was awed.

Whether it was the people from the Dragon Palace or the Martial Artists who had arrived at Niu Huang Valley earlier, all were frightened into silence by Huang Xuanzi's terrifying cultivation.

But thankfully, Huang Xuanzi had no intention of killing them.

He still maintained his original attitude, which was that if they wanted him to help divine Li Yun's whereabouts, they had to follow his rules. However, the conditions had changed; it went from twenty Heaven Grade Treasures to thirty, with the extra ten being a penalty for the three Dragon Palace Protectors' forceful actions just now.

What else could Protector Zeng Siming and the other four Dragon Palace Protectors say?

What else would they dare to say?

They could only accept their loss.

Moreover, this matter was clearly no longer about whether they wanted to divine or not. If they didn't follow Huang Xuanzi's rules and ask him for help with the divination, given Huang Xuanzi's Evolving Dao Realm strength, would he just let them leave?

However, even if they all wanted to follow the rules, they didn't have thirty Heaven Grade Treasures on them.

In their helplessness, they could only call for backup.

After obtaining Huang Xuanzi's consent, Protector Zeng Siming once again took out a communication talisman and sent an urgent message to the Dragon Palace, reporting what had happened here.

"What... an Evolving Dao Realm expert suspected to be from the Holy Land Dao Palace, and a diviner?"

"These four idiots!"

In the Dragon Palace, Qin Mengjue, one of the four Vice Palace Lords, was originally discussing the important matter of the Dragon Palace's re-emergence with several Dragon Palace Elders. Suddenly receiving Protector Zeng Siming's message, his face turned green with anger.

"I sent them to capture Li Yun, and it's one thing that they didn't, but they even provoked a diviner, and an Evolving Dao Realm diviner at that?"

"How come my Dragon Palace only produces such useless people."

"They can't even handle a small matter."

"If this spreads, the great reputation my Dragon Palace established back then will probably be completely ruined by them."

"Grand Elder, tell me, was the timing we chose for our re-emergence completely wrong?"

Grand Elder Fang Tianyi heard this, and his expression also became awkward.

This time, the Dragon Palace's decision to re-emerge actually had some internal controversy, and the point of contention was the timing.

Some people believed that the Dragon Palace had been in seclusion for too long and was starting to live off its past gains.

If they didn't seize the fated opportunity to re-emerge quickly before the Holy Land Dao Palace rose again and snatch some opportunities, it would be too late for the Dragon Palace to re-emerge after the Holy Land Dao Palace rose again, and they would still have to live under the shadow of the Holy Land Dao Palace.

However, some people believed that the Holy Land Dao Palace's dojo was destroyed, but the Four Great Evils were still secretly blockading the Heavenly Ancient Continent. Rushing to re-emerge could easily make them the primary target of the Four Great Evils' attacks again.

Therefore, they should not rush to re-emerge.

At the very least, they should reach some understanding with the Lie Tian Royal Clan, who currently controlled the The Eastern Region of the Tiangu Continent.

But this suggestion was met with opposition.

The opponents believed that when the Dragon Palace was famous in the The Eastern Region of the Tiangu Continent, the Lie Tian Royal Clan was still an insignificant entity. The Dragon Palace had no need to care about the Lie Tian Royal Clan's opinion, and whether to re-emerge should not require any understanding with the Lie Tian Royal Clan.

Otherwise, wouldn't it make people think that the Dragon Palace was afraid of the Lie Tian Royal Clan?

In that case, even if the Dragon Palace re-emerged, what would be the difference from living under the shadow of the Holy Land Dao Palace before?

The two sides argued back and forth.

In the end, the Palace Lord personally made the decision and personally finalized the great plan for the Dragon Palace's re-emergence.

And he decided that the first thing the Dragon Palace would do upon re-emergence was to capture Li Yun, who had recently caused some commotion in the Sky-Splitting Dynasty, and incidentally seize the White Emperor Inheritance and subdue the White Emperor Family.

The Dragon Palace Palace Lord was a Great Power of the Integration Realm, the supreme existence who ruled the entire Dragon Palace. No one dared to refute the decision he personally made, nor could they.

It's just that no one expected such a seemingly simple and easily achievable re-emergence plan to actually fail.

Over thirty Celestial Human Realm and Dharma Manifestation Realm experts from the Dragon Palace were actually completely annihilated by Li Yun at the Heavenly Martial Sect, and what's more, it became known to everyone.

From the perspective of the Dragon Palace higher-ups who had originally opposed the hasty re-emergence, this was a disastrous start.

They were extremely annoyed.

So much so that they once again doubted whether the timing of such a hasty re-emergence was right or not.

However, how could Fang Tianyi dare to respond to such words?

The great plan for re-emergence and the timing were personally decided by the Palace Lord. If he responded, wouldn't it be tantamount to questioning the Palace Lord's authority?

Qin Mengjue was one of the four Vice Palace Lords, and his strength was also infinitely close to a Great Power of the Integration Realm.

Qin Mengjue had some qualifications to question, but he, Fang Tianyi, was just an Elder, his status was below the Vice Palace Lords, and his cultivation was only at the Cave Void Realm... How could he have the qualifications to question? He might as well be seeking death.

"Heh heh, Vice Palace Lord Qin, since the matter has already happened, it's meaningless to dwell on the timing of the re-emergence. I actually think that since we've encountered that Huang Xuanzi, if we seize this fated opportunity, it might be a chance."

"How so?"

"Firstly, that Huang Xuanzi is an Evolving Dao Realm diviner. Divining Li Yun's whereabouts should be no problem. We should pay the necessary price, however small. As long as we capture Li Yun and the White Emperor Family behind him, we won't lose out."

"Secondly, and most importantly, diviners are rare, and Evolving Dao Realm diviners are even rarer. The key is that the current Holy Land Dao Palace is in disarray. If we take this fated opportunity to recruit this Huang Xuanzi into our Dragon Palace, wouldn't that add a super expert to our Dragon Palace!"

"With a powerful diviner escorting the Dragon Palace, in the future, why would our Dragon Palace ever encounter those embarrassing and reputation-damaging incidents again?"

"Oh... that makes sense!"

Qin Mengjue's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this.

"Grand Elder, immediately go to the treasure vault and retrieve thirty Heaven Grade Treasures... Oh no, directly retrieve forty, and bring that divination astrolabe with you."

"We will depart together. This time, I will personally meet that Huang Xuanzi!"
