"He's attacking again?" Right now, Lance Blue's biggest worry was that strange fiend—the monster—whose strength was terrifying. Back then, injuring him had been pure luck.
"Not him. It's something else, something related to the End of the Sky," the Blue Clan Patriarch replied.
"What did you say?" Lance Blue looked a bit surprised.
"It's appeared, it's appeared!" The Blue Clan Patriarch said excitedly.
"It's appeared again? Where?" Hearing that the End of the Sky had shown up again, Lance Blue got excited. He'd heard rumors of that shifting space before but had never had the chance to encounter it. Now, even though he wasn't fully recovered, he had to go see it for himself.
"It's not that it appeared—there was always a passage connecting to it," said the Blue Clan Patriarch.
"What's going on? Just tell me everything at once," Lance Blue said suspiciously, confused by the Blue Clan Patriarch's explanation.
The Blue Clan Patriarch then relayed the news he'd received to Lance Blue. After Lance listened, he said, "How could this be? Does even Sky Unity Sect not know about it?"
"Apparently not. But lately, Sky Unity Sect has had its own upheaval—the original sect master, Daniel Pang, was secretly harmed by someone and fell into a coma for years, only recently rescued." Mentioning the rescue, the Blue Clan Patriarch couldn't help but think of Evan Yang, whom he deeply resented.
"What's wrong? Judging by your tone, it's like you've got some grudge against Sky Unity Sect." Lance Blue had already surpassed the Spirit‑Wandering Realm, so the Blue Clan Patriarch's tone of resentment was easy for him to pick up on.
The others looked at each other in confusion, surprised to see the Blue Clan's two second-in-command figures quarreling like this.
The Blue Clan Patriarch let him go helplessly. Having been free in the family for so many years, it was time for him to take over this heavy responsibility. Regaining his composure, he addressed the crowd: "Everyone knows how formidable Evan Yang is. So I order you to stop all actions against him and focus entirely on those insects and the Strange Fiend."
At this, all the Blue Clan members stirred, especially the younger ones—Terry Blue, Bennett Blue, and Cyrus Blue—who had all been taught a lesson by Evan Yang. The others had never clashed directly with Evan, only for the clan's reputation. Now that the Patriarch had given the order, the rest ignored it, and the younger ones, even if they wanted to intervene, lacked the ability. They were currently the lowest-ranked members of the clan, and their strength was far inferior to Evan Yang.
After the commotion, the Blue Clan Patriarch began asking everyone to report on recent events. When they finished, he went to the main hall, where he found far fewer alliance members than before.
"Where is everyone?" the Blue Clan Patriarch exclaimed in shock when he saw so many people missing.
The chief guard stepped forward and said, "Patriarch, they've all gone to Sky Unity Sect."
"It seems the temptation of End of the Sky is truly great," the Blue Clan Patriarch said, first surprised then helpless.
With so many people gone, how could they fight? Many cultivators friendly with the Blue Clan applied to leave, their excuses ranging from cultivation, closed-door training, or even heading to Sky Unity Sect.
With things at this point, what could the Blue Clan Patriarch do? He could only let those who wanted to leave go. As a result, the main hall became very empty, with only a few weak members remaining.
If the insect army attacked now, the Blue Clan Patriarch wouldn't know what to do. Just then, the chief guard of the Blue Armor Legion rushed in and said, "Urgent news for the Patriarch!"
The Blue Clan Patriarch frowned. "Are those insects attacking?"
This startled everyone, who quickly focused on the chief guard. The chief guard was puzzled—he hadn't even reported yet, was it really necessary to be so nervous? But these were people not to be offended, so he quickly reported: "The insects have already retreated from the Eastern Continent and are heading toward Central Province."
"What!" The Blue Clan Patriarch and the others exclaimed in shock when they heard this.
Heading to Central Province? That meant all the cities under Blue Clan control would be affected—a result they least wanted to see.
The chief guard continued, "It's like this—they're moving toward Sky Unity Sect."
"Sky Unity Sect? Again?" The Blue Clan Patriarch and the others relaxed a bit, but were still puzzled about why the insects were headed there.
Everyone pondered for a while, finally guessing that the Strange Fiend might be connected to Sky Unity Sect's passage to End of the Sky.
The Blue Clan Patriarch began issuing orders: "Now, many people from our continent must be gathering there, and conflict is inevitable. Since that's the case, we don't need to hold back. Leave some behind to guard this place, and the rest of you come with me to Sky Unity Sect."
All of us? Everyone looked at each other in confusion. The Blue Clan Patriarch had intended to check with the supervisors, but seeing that none were present, there was no one to consult—the alliance had already disbanded.
So the Blue Clan Patriarch returned to the castle to find Lance Blue and inform him of the latest developments. But when he arrived, he found Lance Blue was gone.
Strange, where did he go?' the Blue Clan Patriarch wondered after discovering Lance Blue was gone.
Once everyone was nearly ready to depart, the Blue Clan Patriarch slipped out of the room to lead the experts toward Sky Unity Sect.
At this moment, Sky Unity Sect was the focus of the entire continent. The whole mountain was surrounded by crowds—some flying in the sky, others walking on the ground.
Outside the cave mansion, the crowd was even denser, with some people quarreling over who would enter first.
"Stop!" A loud voice rang out at that moment.
A familiar figure stepped out in front of everyone.
The Blue Clan's hidden lord! Everyone was shocked—this was the continent's top expert. Why was he here?
"Senior Blue." Those who had been fighting immediately stepped aside and greeted him respectfully.
"What's going on here?" Lance Blue asked, frowning when he saw some people already injured.
Hearing Lance Blue's question, someone immediately stepped forward to explain. Upon hearing that the trouble was caused by an entrance, Lance Blue cursed inwardly: "They never show this kind of enthusiasm toward the insects or the Strange Fiend, but for a place like this, they're all so crazy."
Lance Blue kept a calm face and said, "Don't you know how dangerous End of the Sky is? No one has ever come out alive. Are you really competing to see who dies first?"
His words hit the mark, but many Spirit-Wandering experts still wanted to pursue a higher realm and greater power. Even if the path ahead was deadly, they would try anyway—otherwise, there wouldn't be so many Spirit-Wandering experts acting so crazily here.
Just after Lance Blue finished speaking pipeline, someone at the outermost part of Sky Unity Sect shouted, "The insects are here! The insects are here!"
What? The insects are here? The crowd fighting over the entrance was shocked. Lance Blue frowned—why were the insects here too? He immediately thought of the Strange Fiend, then snapped back to attention: "What are you all standing around for? Are you waiting for the insects to come and take this place?"
That's right—they had to deal with those hateful insects first. They couldn't let them take this place.
Even if it meant risking death at End of the Sky, they wouldn't let the insects go there. With this mindset, everyone focused on the insects outside, though some worried that someone might sneak into the tunnel during the chaos.
Lance Blue knew he had to step up if he wanted everyone to unite, so he said, "I'll guard this entrance until we've driven the insects away."
With Lance Blue's words, everyone calmed down. No one believed the continent's top expert would lie.
Watching everyone go to fight the insects, Lance Blue sighed helplessly, "I wonder how long this unity will last."
