The woman emerging from the Human Quarter was none other than Rowena Meng. She intended to see how many clans had arrived at Allclan Sanctuary this time, but unexpectedly ran into a fellow human cultivator coming to complain.
Rowena Meng was no fool. She had survived around Allclan Sanctuary for many years, and with the help of Joe Di's half Extreme Vein, had even stepped into the Fourth Step. There were many things she could understand without explanation. Quentin Fan was clearly here to complain: a human cultivator had been captured by the Divine Clan, and Quentin Fan, having heard of Joe Di, came here to report it.
What she didn't know was that Quentin Fan truly had no idea about the Human Quarter or Joe Di in Allclan Sanctuary, and hadn't even heard of Joe Di. His arrival at the Human Quarter was purely coincidental.
"The Divine Clan dares to capture a human Domain Lord?" Rowena Meng frowned, somewhat incredulous. In fact, even if the Divine Clan wanted to act against the humans, it should have been after the Grand Conclave of All Races in Allclan Sanctuary. At least before Brother Joe was in trouble, the Divine Clan wouldn't have had the guts to do this.
"They did capture our Domain Lord, Dean Yin." Quentin Fan replied, and hearing Rowena Meng's words, his hopes rose. From her tone, it seemed the Divine Clan shouldn't dare to capture anyone.
"I remember now, are you from the Frontier Human Realm?" Rowena Meng suddenly realized and stared at Quentin Fan as she asked.
Quentin Fan quickly clasped his hands in salute. "Exactly. Dean Yin is also the Domain Lord of the Frontier Human Realm. I hadn't revealed my origins before out of concern."
Rowena Meng nodded. "I'm familiar with that place. I had even considered joining the Frontier Human Realm myself."
Hearing Rowena Meng's words, Quentin Fan's heart sank. If even Rowena Meng was considering joining the Frontier Human Realm, could he really expect her to help him out?
"Fellow Meng, are you heading out for a stroll as well?" Saint Henry Yi was now full of confidence, more grateful than ever for befriending Joe Di on the Chaos Skyship and for not revealing that Joe Di was the one who set up the grand array at Saint Seat Plaza. Otherwise, how could he have stepped into the true Fourth Step so quickly and established himself in Allclan Sanctuary?
Many of the cultivators who came to this universe with him have likely become others' cultivation vessels, sacrificed to help someone else reach the Fifth Step.
"I was just about to go for a walk, and unexpectedly heard that the human Domain Lord was captured by the Divine Clan." Rowena Meng quickly replied. Saint Henry Yi had always followed Joe Di, but she still didn't understand the relationship between Saint Henry Yi and Joe Di.
"A human Domain Lord?" Saint Henry Yi frowned slightly. Previously, when Joe Di had the human cultivators of Allclan Sanctuary stand independently, no one dared to support him, which left Henry Yi with a poor impression of all the human cultivators there. That's why he didn't even bother greeting Quentin Fan when he saw him.
Rowena Meng understood Henry Yi's thoughts and sighed, "This Domain Lord is different from the human slaves in Allclan Sanctuary. These are cultivators who refused to be enslaved or oppressed by other clans, so they left the cosmic center and survived on the wilderness edge, eventually founding the Frontier Human Realm. Because they don't rely on other clans, they have the right to represent humanity at the Grand Conclave. But unexpectedly, just after arriving at Allclan Sanctuary, their Domain Lord was captured."
"Such audacity," Henry Yi said angrily.
Having known Joe Di for so long, Henry Yi understood his temperament. If Joe Di encountered this, he'd only have one response: confront them directly.
"Should we inform Brother Joe?" Rowena Meng asked.
Henry Yi laughed heartily. "Brother Di is still in seclusion. Let's go ourselves. Where are the captives being held? Can you lead the way?"
Rowena Meng understood Henry Yi's meaning: Joe Di was likely comprehending the Heavenly Illusion Art.
Henry Yi's last question was directed at Quentin Fan, guessing that Quentin Fan was the one who brought the matter to their attention.
Quentin Fan was overjoyed at these words and quickly said, "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. Right now, they should still be at Feather Ring Tower."
"Feather Ring Tower? I know that place. Let's go together and demand their release," Henry Yi said spiritedly.
Earlier, when some trash Fourth Step cultivators from the Redlin Clan besieged Joe Di, Henry Yi hadn't had a chance to act. Even Rowena Meng had managed to kill Sean Yi, but Henry Yi never got his chance. Now, he was eager to see, with Joe Di's Dao resonance and the help of the Extreme Vein, just how strong his Fourth Step power truly was.
If he could instantly defeat the Fourth Step cultivators here, then, with better treasures to refine his physical body in the future, his strength would surely reach new heights.
"Yes, yes..." Quentin Fan replied several times, his voice trembling with excitement.
Some of the human cultivators following Quentin Fan still hesitated. Neither Henry Yi nor Rowena Meng seemed like Fifth Step Paragons. If they weren't, was it too arrogant to confront Feather Ring Tower like this?
But then they realized that those helping weren't afraid, so why should they be? Besides, the Human Quarter seemed quite extraordinary—how could it be at the center of Allclan Sanctuary if it were ordinary?
......
The true master of Feather Ring Tower was not Blake Kee. Years ago, Blake Kee advised Dean Yin to plot against the previous master, Sean Yi, and thus gained control of the tower. But Blake Kee knew well that as a human cultivator, it would be hard to hold onto Feather Ring Tower. Even if he temporarily controlled it, the Divine Clan would eventually reclaim it, and his life would be at risk.
So the moment he gained Feather Ring Tower, Blake Kee gathered all its top resources and then handed the tower over to Quentin Que without hesitation.
Quentin Que was a Fourth Step Edict Saint. Having gained Feather Ring Tower out of nowhere, he readily agreed to Blake Kee's request, granting Blake Kee an identity as a Divine Clan member. Not only that, he also gave Blake Kee the honorary title of tower master of Feather Ring Tower.
Blake Kee's subordinates called him 'tower master,' but not for his honorary title at Feather Ring Tower—it was for being the master of Divine Mist Tower. After leaving Allclan Sanctuary, Blake Kee established another Divine Mist Tower in the Divine Domain.

So when Quentin Fan said Blake Kee was at Feather Ring Tower, that information was actually incorrect. Although Blake Kee held the honorary title of tower master, he currently had nothing to do with Feather Ring Tower. After capturing Dean Yin, he left Allclan Sanctuary with Dean Yin. Not only that, he left a subordinate behind to inquire about what Kai Chongwei meant by telling him not to touch human cultivators, or even Dean Yin.
Boom! The protective array outside Feather Ring Tower was shattered, followed by a massive iron rod falling from the void and smashing right at the entrance, completely destroying the tower's main gate.
"Henry Yi..." Rowena Meng looked at Henry Yi in confusion, not understanding why he used such a forceful approach.
Henry Yi chuckled and didn't answer Rowena Meng. He was sure Joe Di would have done the same. He could guess Joe Di's temperament—Joe Di would tear down Allclan Sanctuary even if no one provoked him, let alone when Feather Ring Tower dared to capture a human Domain Lord.
If Joe Di found out about this excuse, he would definitely confront them head-on. The fact that Henry Yi hadn't used the Thousand Mechanisms Rod to directly destroy Feather Ring Tower was already him holding back.
After Allclan Sanctuary was destroyed, Feather Ring Tower had only recently been rebuilt. Now, someone dared to shatter its protective array and smash its main gate—this was truly brazen.
Because the Grand Conclave of All Races in Allclan Sanctuary was about to begin, even though Feather Ring Tower was just a mid-tier shop, it was packed with people. Now, with someone violently attacking the tower, everyone inside rushed out in panic.
However, none of those who rushed out left; instead, they stayed to watch the commotion. They wanted to see who had the guts to attack Feather Ring Tower under the command of a Divine Clan Edict Saint. During the Grand Conclave, not even the smallest clan's territory could be attacked like this, let alone a Divine Clan's shop—unless someone truly had a death wish.
"How dare you touch my Feather Ring Tower..." With a furious shout, a tall, brown-skinned man charged out.
This was none other than the master of Feather Ring Tower, Quentin Que.
Usually, Quentin Que wasn't at Feather Ring Tower, but with the Grand Conclave about to begin, he had come by temporarily. He hadn't expected that just as he arrived, his territory would be violently smashed open—this was worse than a slap in the face. If he didn't vent his anger now, he wouldn't be able to stand in the Divine Clan, let alone survive in Allclan Sanctuary.
"It was your Grandpa Henry Yi who smashed it." Saint Henry Yi spun his Thousand Mechanisms Rod into a flourish, standing in the void at the shattered entrance of Feather Ring Tower, his tone supremely arrogant.
Henry Yi's arrogance was intentional; he wasn't trying to establish dominance with what he considered a trivial method. He was simply imitating Joe Di's style. In his view, if Joe Di saw his actions, he'd surely appreciate them.
After saying it, Henry Yi actually felt a bit exhilarated. Compared to his countless ages of stern, methodical rule over the vast cosmos, this was a completely different feeling.
(That's all for today's update. Good night, friends!)
