Great Upheaval in the Heavenly Dao Realm

After speaking, Evan Yang and Brocade flew out. Upon seeing Evan, the Bandit Chief laughed, "You're really sly. I never saw you inside the Exquisite Realm."

"You guys also entered the Exquisite Realm?" Evan Yang asked with a smile.

"Of course. What did you think?" The Bandit Chief chuckled.

"I never provoked you. Why are you pestering me? Is it just because of my artifact?" Evan Yang sneered.

"Obviously. Your artifact is extremely valuable. You'd better hand it over to us." The Bandit Chief laughed.

"Hand it over? Do you even have the strength to keep it? Aren't you afraid of Five Gods Hall?" Evan Yang asked with a smile.

The Bandit Chief paused, then laughed, "Five Gods Hall? You really know a lot, kid."

"Of course. Otherwise I'd be a fool, just waiting for you to carve me up." Evan Yang grinned.

"What, do you really think you two can change the situation?" The Bandit Chief laughed.

"What do you think?" Evan Yang replied with a smile.

"Then let me send you on your way." With that, the Bandit Chief extended both hands. Starlight sparkled in his palms—Evan Yang instantly recognized it as the Light Attribute.

The starlight quickly enveloped Evan Yang, as if a scorching power was burning him. The crowd was shocked. Brocade grew anxious and immediately attacked the Bandit Chief.

Seeing Brocade's attack, the Bandit Chief laughed, "Your attack is strong, but you haven't fully evolved. Besides, I have artifacts."

As he spoke, three layers of light wrapped around the Bandit Chief, blocking Brocade's attack. Brocade was stunned that his attack was useless, and the onlookers—including Brandon and the others—were even more shocked, since Evan Yang's fate was now uncertain.

"Lord, what should we do now?" Tony Tong asked anxiously. Ethan Ya replied, "Don't rush—keep watching. He's fine for now."

Sure enough, even though Evan Yang was wrapped in all kinds of light, looking as if he was about to be devoured, he was still unharmed. The Bandit Chief grew suspicious, "You really can endure, huh?"

Evan Yang was thankful he wasn't afraid of light, and that he still had the Divine Seal, which was absorbing the Bandit Chief's light. So he was basically fine, though the Bandit Chief, unaware, thought Evan was just tough.

Seeing Evan Yang unharmed, Brocade finally relaxed and watched him from the side.

After some time, with Evan Yang still perfectly fine, the Bandit Chief grew even more suspicious. "Kid, you can endure this much? Then I'll step it up!"

With that, the light intensified. Everyone stared at the mysterious Bandit Chief, curious why this bandit faction had never been dealt with—never expecting their chief to be so terrifying.

Even under the intense light, Evan Yang held on. After a full quarter-hour, the Bandit Chief sensed something was wrong and withdrew the light—only to find Evan completely unharmed. "How are you fine?" he asked suspiciously.

"That's none of your business," Evan Yang replied with a smile.

"Then I'll just have to do it the hard way." Seeing Evan Yang wouldn't answer, the Bandit Chief decided to attack directly. In a flash, he appeared before Evan, ready to strike with his palm. Brocade rushed over to help, but at that moment, Evan pulled out the Divine Seal and aimed it at the Bandit Chief. Instantly, a massive wave of light burst from the Divine Seal, enveloping the completely unprepared Bandit Chief.

With a miserable scream, the Bandit Chief vanished. But Evan Yang was also extremely weak—the Divine Seal had gathered all the energy the Bandit Chief had just unleashed, and to force it out, Evan had used up all his strength.

When the bandits saw their chief defeated, they scattered and fled. In an instant, Heavenly Mansion's crisis was resolved. Evan Yang fell from the sky, and Brocade caught him in his arms.

"Is he alright?" Gavin White hurried over and asked.

"He's fine, just a little weak," Brocade said.

"That's good. Take him to rest right away," Gavin said. At that moment, Ethan Ya walked over and said, "Let me check."

After examining Evan Yang, Ethan Ya frowned. "It doesn't look so good."

"What do you mean?" Brocade just said he was fine, but now the Lord says otherwise. Gavin grew worried. Ethan Ya explained, "Look inside him—there's light energy fluctuating."

Brocade and Gavin White both checked and noticed the same issue. Since no one knew Evan Yang possessed the Light Attribute, they assumed something was wrong with his body.

"So what do we do now?" Gavin asked worriedly.

"As long as the Bandit Chief isn't dead and Hell Palace isn't destroyed, they'll definitely come back. So you should leave the Heavenly Dao Realm—don't let them find out." Ethan Ya thought for a moment and said.

"Leave the Heavenly Dao Realm? When will he wake up? Will he stay like this?" Gavin asked anxiously.

"That, I can't say. It depends on him," Ethan Ya replied.

Faced with this situation, Gavin could only plan to leave. At that moment, Brandon said, "Let's go."

Tony Tong hadn't expected things to turn out this way, so he apologized, "Sorry."

"It's not your fault. We're leaving now. I hope everyone keeps this quiet—if they chase us and he's still unconscious, it'll be trouble," Brandon said.

Ethan Ya said, "Don't worry. No one will find out."

Brandon nodded. So Brandon, Gavin, and Brocade took Evan Yang and left the Heavenly Dao Realm. Evan, still unconscious, had no idea he was simply drained and temporarily comatose, but was now being taken away.

As for Hell Palace, its Lord was now a wreck. Returning to Hell Palace, Morris Gui was furious, but since he was heavily injured, he couldn't show himself and could only retreat to his usual secret cultivation spot where no one could find him.

The Bandit Chief had it even worse—his eyes were blind, his body covered in burns, and he cursed, "Damn it, that guy actually has an artifact that absorbs light. Next time, I'll seize it for myself."

Both men hated Evan Yang even more now—their resentment only deepened.

Time flew by. Gavin, Brandon, and Brocade brought Evan Yang back to Medicine King Heaven, and a year had already passed. Yet Evan was still unconscious, while Gavin's child seemed restless in her womb but wouldn't come out, leaving everyone anxious.

"Dad, do you think he'll wake up?" Gavin asked worriedly.

Brandon shook his head helplessly. "I don't know. It depends on him. At least his consciousness isn't dead."

At that moment, Brocade said, "Don't worry. Boss will definitely be fine."

"Mm." Gavin nodded. Brandon looked at Brocade curiously and asked with a smile, "What kind of divine beast are you?"

"Me? I don't know either. Right now I've only evolved halfway. Once I fully evolve, I'll personally beat up those guys for bullying my boss." Brocade said angrily.

Hearing Brocade's words, Gavin and Brandon grew curious—just what was Brocade's true identity, to have such abilities?

A year later, the Bandit Chief had fully recovered. He sat in his stronghold, listening to the latest news from his scouts. When he heard Evan Yang and the others had vanished, he frowned, "They left? That guy really knows how to pick his moment. Just leave like that? Impossible! Now he wants to escape? Dream on!"

"Chief, how should we find him?" one subordinate asked, frowning.

"That's simple—start with the people from Heavenly Mansion," the Bandit Chief said.

"But the people from Heavenly Mansion are tight-lipped. It's hard to get anything out of them," the subordinate replied.

"That's just because you're useless. I'll go to Heavenly Mansion myself—wait for me," the Bandit Chief said, then vanished in a flash.

Since the last incident, Heavenly Mansion had become extremely low-key. Its members had secretly disbanded, though anyone could still get in touch if needed.

For example, Ethan Ya and Tony Tong were together. If they wanted, they could reorganize anytime—they'd done this to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Lord, it's been a year. I wonder how Evan Yang is doing," Tony Tong said worriedly.

"He should be fine. Right now, I'm more concerned about how our people from Heavenly Mansion are living," Ethan Ya sighed.

"We'll be fine. The people of Heavenly Mansion aren't that fragile. Once things settle down, we'll regroup," Tony Tong said.

"Mm." Ethan Ya nodded.

Not only Heavenly Mansion, but Hell Palace had vanished as well. These two famous places in the Heavenly Dao Realm disappeared without a trace, leaving many puzzled. When the Bandit Chief arrived at Heavenly Mansion's location and found only ruins, he frowned, "These people sure are timid—they actually disbanded?"

But the Bandit Chief didn't give up and kept searching for clues nearby, but found nothing. He returned to his stronghold and ordered, "You must find Heavenly Mansion's new hiding place for me."

"Yes." The subordinates left one by one, and this massive bandit group, spread throughout the Heavenly Dao Realm, began their secret operations.

Meanwhile, Morris Gui, Lord of Hell Palace, opened his eyes. He had hidden the remaining forces of Hell Palace, and now that he'd nearly recovered, he muttered, "Time to act. Heavenly Mansion has disbanded, but I don't believe the news will be cut off."

Thinking of the people he'd planted in Heavenly Mansion, Morris Gui summoned them.

These were the only ones whose identities hadn't been exposed and who hadn't been captured. So, when they arrived before Morris Gui, they stood respectfully, waiting for instructions.

"Why did Heavenly Mansion disband?" Morris Gui asked.

One answered, "Because of the bandit gang—their chief is extremely powerful. After fighting Evan Yang, he disappeared, but the Lord of Heavenly Mansion was worried, so they temporarily disbanded. But he told us that someday, they'd regroup."

"The Bandit Chief? He's really that strong?" Morris Gui asked suspiciously.

"Yes, extremely strong. I heard the Lord of Heavenly Mansion even frowned when he saw him," the subordinate replied.

"Understood. Keep monitoring everything about Heavenly Mansion. I'll be back soon," Morris Gui said, then vanished in a flash.

He reappeared atop a mountain—the bandit gang's base. The Bandit Chief quickly sensed someone had arrived, walked out of the stronghold, and saw Morris Gui in the sky. He laughed, "What wind blew you here?"
