Upon hearing the envoy’s words, all the Yin Spirits frowned with a sense of foreboding.

Wujun immediately asked, "Dark Sun?! What's going on?!"

Just several days ago, he had informed their headquarters about the establishment of the Yuan God Sharing Society. Why would their envoy warn them about the Dark Sun?

As a side note, the envoy was also a Great Venerable palace master. He came only because he was the nearest to Phoenix Heaven.

"I was informed by the headquarters," said the envoy regretfully. "The Four Generals of the Lei Clan are on their way."

The Yin Spirits looked at one another. Most had never even heard of Dark Sun and had no idea what it was. Nevertheless, one thing was certain: powerful experts had been sent to take care of the Blood-Clothed Sword God. The situation had become complicated.

"The Dark Sun is sending people to trouble me?" Qi Yuan appeared slightly stunned. "What kind of background does the Dark Sun have? Do they have many cultivation techniques?"

The letter he had received warned of the Dark Sun’s approach. The sender behaved brazenly, showing complete disregard for the law even before him.

The envoy hesitated before saying slowly, "The Dark Sun is an unspeakable force within the Canglan World."

Seven-Scar Elder also chimed in with a complicated tone. "Great Venerable Crimson Flare of the Demon Domain died at the hands of the Four Generals."

"What? The Great Venerable Crimson Flare?!"

"Could the Four Generals of the Lei Clan be Mythics?"

Shock and fear appeared on the faces of the Yin Spirits.

Crimson Flare was a peak expert at Step Sixth of Heaven-Treading, only second to Mythic Taifeng. He had suppressed the three domains for hundreds of thousands of years. No Great Venerable dared to disobey him. Even Jasmine had bowed her head before him, intending to present the Mythic Secret Treasury.

Yet one day, blood stained the long rainbow across the sky, and Crimson Flare perished within the void world. The three domains were shaken. Having no idea what had happened, all the Yin Spirits trembled in fear, as if disaster were imminent. Crimson Flare's death had remained an unsolvable mystery ever since.

Finally, after a hundred thousand years, they had learned the truth. The culprits were none other than the Four Generals of the Lei Clan. The Dark Sun was too terrifying! And now, they were targeting the Blood-Clothed Sword God! How could he possibly prevail when even Crimson Flare had failed?

"Could there be some misunderstanding here? How did the Blood-Clothed Sword God offend Dark Sun?" Wujun asked in confusion.

In Crimson Flare’s case, the Dark Sun could have had its own reasons for hunting him. Meanwhile, the Blood-Clothed Sword God did not even know about them. How could he have provoked them?

"Even if the Dark Sun is powerful, they cannot kill gods without reason," one Yin Spirit said.

"The Canglan World has its own rules. In the cultivation world, everything must be done with reason," another Yin Spirit said, subtly speaking up for Qi Yuan.

In truth, he was also speaking for himself. If a great power could simply kill a Great Venerable without reason, then they also wouldn’t be safe. Even if they could not stop it, they had to voice their stance to maintain order.

The other Yin Spirits nodded, clearly agreeing. Even powerful forces had to maintain appearances. How could they simply kill without cause? At the very least, one had to provide a legitimate reason to kill someone.

Jasmine calmly narrowed her eyes, saying nothing.

Seven-Scar Elder said hoarsely, "According to my investigation, the Dark Sun may be connected to the Great Calamity."

The Yin Spirits all felt their hearts pound violently. Those who had been preparing arguments to speak for the Blood-Clothed Sword God fell silent.

"The Great Calamity..."

"It's actually the Great Calamity..."

The Yin Spirits were gripped with terror, as if their parents had died. The greatest taboo in Canglan, something no Yin Spirit could resist, was the Great Calamity. If the Dark Sun was connected to it, everything suddenly made sense. They had to be the claws of the Great Calamity.

All the Yin Spirits fell silent. Some already showed anxious expressions, eager to distance themselves from the Blood-Clothed Sword God and leave quickly. If the other party were a righteous major sect, these Yin Spirits would probably still dare to speak for the Blood-Clothed Sword God, but that wasn’t the case at all.

Qi Yuan's gaze turned deep. "The Dark Sun is a claw of the Great Calamity?"

Seven-Scar Elder nodded.

"Which means," Qi Yuan said, "The Dark Sun discovered my expose post on the Divine Flower Society forum, had the president mute me, then sent people to kill me?"

In an instant, he had connected all the clues.

His eyes lit up as he looked at the Yin Spirits. "Now you believe me, right? The techniques you cultivate are tainted."

Such shocking claims would normally be impossible to believe. However, every Yin Spirit here had lived for more than ten thousand years. Deep down, they knew his words were likely true, especially after he had been muted on the forum and became a target for assassination.

"It seems our cultivation techniques really do have problems," one Yin Spirit muttered, examining his own technique.

"So the techniques we've cultivated for ten thousand years are wrong?"

Despite the overwhelming sense of absurdity, the Yin Spirits finally believed in Qi Yuan.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan said passionately, "I established the Yuan God Sharing Society to deal with the Great Calamity. Among the techniques I uploaded, some are untainted and safe to cultivate. I'm very happy that all of you came to support the sharing society. Now, the hounds of the Great Calamity happen to be on their way. We must unite and defeat them!"

Justice and the people were on his side.

The Yin Spirits looked at each other. They had initially thought he created the organization solely to collect cultivation techniques. Wasn't "facing the Great Calamity" just a slogan? They even thought the tainted techniques were merely a gimmick. After all, when many nations, forces, or sects were founded, they often shouted slogans about justice, fairness, and eliminating evil.

Is the Blood-Clothed God actually serious? Does he want to rise against the Great Calamity? Is that why people are sent to kill him?
