Mr. Mo was also secretly relieved that someone like Lin Fang was part of the Demon Clan. If he had been in the Heavenly Court’s camp, the Demon Clan might never have been able to rise again.

Lin Fang, of course, did not know Mr. Mo had so much inner turmoil; he was still very responsibly explaining the situation of the Military Armament Department to Mr. Mo.

This place was the center for the Demon Clan’s equipment production, as well as the crystallization of the entire Demon Clan’s wisdom, and moreover, the location of hope for the future.

From the beginning, Lin Fang had no intention of letting this place serve only for the purpose of war.

The purpose of war was still to strive for peace, and this place would provide the most favorable guarantee for the Demon Clan after peace had been achieved.

Ever since the news of victory from the front lines came in, Lin Fang had already had some craftsmen start making agricultural tools, preparing for the future.

His actions had also earned him Mr. Mo’s utmost admiration.

"I once heard from a person who ascended from the Mortal World, they had a saying: He who does not plan for the entire world is not fit to plan for a moment; and he who does not plan for the overall situation is not fit to plan for a single area. Today, after seeing you, I realize how true this saying is," Mr. Mo said with a sigh.

"Haha, it’s just a matter of taking precautions. Perhaps it is because of having been weak that one is more cautious," Lin Fang said, shaking his head.

That was a habit of those who had worked their way up from the bottom; because of the many hardships and dangers they had faced along the way, they tended to plan carefully and move later rather than taking risks lightly. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Those of divine sacredness, born strong without going through such processes, often displayed more arrogance and a somewhat rougher style of conduct.

"Mr. Lin, may I stay here?" Mr. Mo asked very politely.

"You are an honored guest; it would be remiss of us to have you work here," Lin Fang replied.

"It’s not necessarily so. You know my character; I don’t much like worldly affairs, but in this lifetime, I only enjoy studying the path of craftsmanship. No other place could compare to being beside this furnace fire," Mr. Mo was determined, and besides this reason, he had another—to help his sister to the best of his ability.

After all, if it hadn’t been for his carelessness in being captured back then, which affected the Demon Clan’s overall situation, perhaps his sister wouldn’t have had to suffer the torment of the seal.

If it weren’t for the special bloodline he and his sister shared, he might never be able to see his sister again in this lifetime.

Therefore, his words were very resolute.

Seeing his steadfast gaze, Lin Fang knew that further persuasion would be futile, and for Mr. Mo, the strongest craftsman in the Three Realms, to join the Military Armament Department was a huge boon for both the department and the Demon Clan.

After all, this man was the founder of the Heavenly Forge Bureau; he knew all the equipment of the Heavenly Court, without any secrets.

With his addition to the department, the Military Armament Department would be even more powerful, and some of Lin Fang’s bolder and more modern designs would also be realized.

Therefore, Lin Fang did not insist any further, and Mr. Mo, the leader of the Heavenly Forge Bureau and the most formidable craftsman in the Three Realms, joined the Military Armament Department.

For the craftsmen working there, the arrival of such a deity was incredibly inspiring.

As for Lin Fang, he had other matters to attend to and could only bid Mr. Mo a temporary farewell.

After parting with Mr. Mo, Lin Fang turned around and went to the Peach Garden, where he saw lush and thriving peaches.

As he prepared to leave the Heavenly Court, he planned to make a big move and take down the Peach Garden.

For this purpose, he prepared a large amount of explosives and hurried to set them up while everyone was busy capturing those who stole the core of the Immortal Transformation Pond.

Once everything was ready, Lin Fang transformed into a butterfly again and slowly flew out of the Peach Garden.

At this moment, the Heavenly Court was still in chaos. Those who were prepared to snatch the core of the pond must have been fully prepared, leaving countless contingencies within the Heavenly Court, and some even provided secret cover for them.

As a result, the Heavenly Court couldn’t immediately find any trace of them.

"They’re here!" someone suddenly shouted.

It turned out that someone’s whereabouts had been leaked; inevitably, someone had slipped up under the relentless pursuit and blockade of all Immortals, which instantly drew the attention of the entire Heavenly Court.

Seeing this, Lin Fang no longer held back. With a mere thought, a deafening explosion was heard, and a massive mushroom cloud rose from within the Peach Garden. A huge wave of fire instantly destroyed the surrounding buildings of the garden.

Even the Heavenly soldiers roaming nearby did not escape, failing to find salvation.

The Jade Emperor sat on his throne, his face an ashen iron hue, silently watching the farce in the Heavenly Court with a glint of cold light in his eyes.

"Well, when did my Heavenly Court become a sieve, allowing anyone to come in?" he said through gritted teeth.

"It was my mistake," said the Divine Exorcist Great Saint in a deep voice.

"I know it’s not your fault. The waters of the Heavenly Court run deep. It’s your first time here, and as someone from the Demon Clan, it’s understandable that you couldn’t consider the internal situation. Besides, I’ve always been confident in winning this war and prepared to use a major victory to subdue them, which is why I’ve indulged them," said the Jade Emperor coldly.

"Who would have thought that fate is so unpredictable, the rise of the Demon Clan is unstoppable, and instead, we find ourselves in a passive state. They want not only the Immortal Transformation Pond but also to destroy the Peach Garden, which is tantamount to declaring war on me," the Jade Emperor said with a cold tone.

At this moment, he felt a strong sense of crisis. These hidden foes were starting to bare their fangs; they were indeed trying to overthrow him.

His murderous intent was so palpable it seemed to chill the entire Heavenly Court by several degrees.

"I will personally take action to capture them," the Divine Exorcist Great Saint hastily said.

However, the Jade Emperor waved his hand and said, "Let the line out to catch the big fish. The masterminds behind this group have yet to show themselves. It would be an underuse of your talents to send you now. Let others pursue them; I want to see just how many of their people are in the Heavenly Court."

Although the Jade Emperor remained calm even now, showing exceptional composure despite the destruction of both the Immortal Transformation Pond and the Peach Garden, he was being rational beyond the bounds of extreme anger—an attribute of the Supreme of the Three Realms.

Even though the Jade Emperor did not take action, with that earth-shattering explosion from the Peach Garden, everyone felt an invisible pressure, and the entire sky seemed to lower significantly.

In a house in a corner of the Heavenly Court, an Immortal furiously questioned the man opposite, "Weren’t you just after the core of the Immortal Transformation Pond? Why would you blow up the Peach Garden? Don’t you realize how many people rely on those Peaches for their prolonged life?"

This Immortal was extremely angry at the moment; his eyes were wide, veins bulging as he stared unblinkingly at the person across from him.

The person being questioned was as confused as a monk who had no clue what was going on; they had never intended to target the Peach Garden.

"Have you lost your mind? We’re not fools; those Peaches are treasures to anyone. Who would be willing to destroy them? It’s not like the Immortal Transformation Pond which can be quickly restored with just a blueprint," he said, frowning.
