Chapter 1381: Yuan Shijia’s Move
*Tap... Tap...*
Yuan Shijia leisurely walked into a space, her face filled with a triumphant smile after her previous conversation with Huang Lingzhu.
Within this place lies an eternal twilight, the sky shrouded in a shimmering purple veil filled with faint, eerie voices and countless whispers.
As she walked forward, Yuan Shijia fingers traced many purple coffins floating on the side of the path, but no one knew their owners except for her. There was a single, cold bed at the center, carved from a single massive block of purple jade.
Before long, Yuan Shijia arrived at the bed, where her real body was asleep. She climbed onto the bed and returned to her body.
Yuan Shijia opened her eyes and sat up on the side of the bed. She waved her hand; the white-haired and golden-haired female fake immortals instantly appeared in front of her, and both of them immediately knelt in front of her. "Master."
"Get up." Yuan Shijia spoke softly as she lifted them to their feet. "Jin Fa, lead some of them to the Thousand Beast Realm and help the ancient demon race attack those beasts. I want you to capture Feng Huang and Yue Mengyi for me. As for the rest, they can go to several domains to create chaos to distract Huang Lingzhu and the others, especially the Boundless Heaven Domain. Additionally, order them to capture the ancestor of the Di Clan, Di Tousen."
Jin Fa, the golden-haired female fake immortal, was surprised by her order. "What about Ling Yun and the others, Master? Aren’t we going to attack them?"
"Not now." Yuan Shijia replied with a shake of his head. "Ling Yun is on his way to the Chaos Dragon Domain, and none of you have the ability to break through the barrier in that domain. I am the only person who can break through it, but I can’t do it now, and I will wait for my cultivation to break through to the True Supreme Realm first, like Huang Lingzhu. Once I break through to that stage, we will directly attack that domain, and I will absorb the souls of everyone on his side before absorbing his."
"What about the Desolate Abyss Domain, Master? Are we going to continue delaying our plans to free the previous Spirit Emperor and the others from the abyss?" Bai Fa asked.
Yuan Shijia propped her chin and thought for some time, and several visions flashed through her mind. "Leave the Desolate Abyss Domain alone for now, especially since Huang Hao is standing guard there. Your strength is equivalent to that of all the other immortals, but she is different because she inherited some of Long Hun’s chaos abilities. Instead of dwelling on that place, I want you to go to the Ancestral Burial Domain."
"The Ancestral Burial Domain?" Bai Fa was a bit surprised.
Yuan Shijia nodded at her. "Ling Yun’s clone and Peng Tianlei are on their way to the Ancestral Burial Domain to retrieve the Chaos Dragon Eyes. You don’t need to kill his clone, and you just teach him a small lesson, which will have an impact on his real body."
"What about the Chaos Dragon Eyes?"
"Bring them to me, and I’ll hide them here." Yuan Shijia looked around them. "Huang Lingzhu and Long Hun never knew about this Nether Yin Domain, so they would never have succeeded in finding the Primordial Chaos Dragon Eyes, and Ling Yun would never have succeeded in becoming the true Primordial Chaos Dragon. However, you have to be careful there, especially since that place is filled with the souls of ancient mythical beasts."
Bai Fa nodded at her. "In that case, Jin Fa and I will leave now, and I will leave for that domain directly."
"Yes." Yuan Shijia waved her hand again, and two portals appeared before them. Jin Fa and Bai Fa immediately disappeared into each of them, which took them to two different locations.
After closing the two portals, Yuan Shijia reached out to the purple coffins. Within seconds, five souls emerged from them and gathered before her. She made a few gestures before firing something at the souls, transforming them into living beings.
After she whispered a few things to them, Yuan Shijia directly sent them out of the Nether Yin Domain. She then lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and slept again with an evil smile on her face.

After she arrived at their hideout, Jin Fa immediately selected several people and led them towards the Thousand Beast Realm, and she ordered the rest to carry out Yuan Shijia’s orders.
However, their movements did not escape the observation of Huang Lingzhu, who immediately ordered the immortals to chase them. In addition, she ordered Xing Jiangjun and Zhe Shouhu to go to the Ancestral Burial Domain, especially after she remembered that Ling Yun’s clone was on his way to that domain.
After all, Yuan Shijia had clearly told her that she was targeting Ling Yun, and Huang Lingzhu believed that she wouldn’t be able to target his real body, leading her to suspect that she would target his clone.
Huang Lingzhu wasn’t too worried about the Primordial Chaos Dragon Eyes, especially since no one would be able to take them away other than Ling Yun and his Primordial Chaos Dragon Bloodline.

Huang Lingzhu had already arrived at the Chaos Dragon Domain and was sitting opposite Long Hun in their old cave. She informed him about her previous conversation with Yuan Shijia, leaving him sighing many times. "You trusted her too much, and she turned into a madwoman because of you. She has learned many details from all your stories, and she plans to absorb Ling Yun’s soul. If she succeeds in doing that, the Primordial Chaos Dragon will die for good, and this universe will be destroyed at the hands of the Chaos, making all our plans and sacrifices meaningless."
"Is there anything else?"
"Yes." Huang Lingzhu then told Long Hun about Ling Yun’s guess regarding the Chaos’s main goal. "Do you think what he guessed is true?"
"Maybe that’s true, but maybe not." Long Hun tried to recall his old memories, particularly those of his repeated efforts to persuade the Chaos in the past. "Back then, my father kept telling me that I wasn’t worthy of possessing the Celestial Chaos Body, but he never used it for himself, and he just let it float around like junk. Moreover, he wasn’t willing to explain anything at the time, so Ling Yun’s guess could be correct. Unfortunately, we can’t find out the answer now, and we’ll only be able to find it when the two of them fight each other in the future, but I will no longer exist in the universe at that time."
"Long Hun."
Long Hun shook his head. "We don’t have time for sentimental feelings, and we must find Yuan Shijia. What do you think she will do next?"
"Ling Yun’s wives, family members, and acquaintances are already in this domain, and he himself is on his way here with the Celestial Fortress. I believe Yuan Shijia won’t target his real body because of the barrier here; instead, he will target his clone, who is on his way to the Ancestral Burial Domain. I have ordered Xing Jiangjun and Zhe Shouhu to follow him there, and they will protect him if those fake immortals attack him." Long Hun nodded in agreement to Huang Lingzhu, who immediately continued. "Right now, Shiwang Zhizhu and the others are chasing the rest of them, but they are scattered in various directions, which confuses me."
Long Hun frowned at that. "Are any of those fake immortals leaving in groups?"
"The golden-haired woman is leading several of them, and Yun Xian is trailing them now. If I’m not mistaken, their—"
Long Hun immediately interrupted. "That group is most likely targeting the Thousand Beast Realm, especially since Long Tianhuo and his family are Ling Yun’s in-laws. They might use those demon race members to facilitate Yuan Shijia’s plan, but I can’t guess her ultimate goal in sending them there."
"Do you think they’re targeting Feng Huang?" Huang Lingzhu asked with a frown.
Long Hun nodded at her. "Yuan Shijia might be targeting Feng Huang, especially since her ice can freeze almost anything. However, I think she’s not only her target, and she’s targeting others as well."
"Tang Chen’s wife, Yue Mengyi."
"That’s right," Long Hun immediately agreed. "Yuan Shijia already knows about Tang Xiao, and she must know that Yue Mengyi came from another universe."
Huang Lingzhu immediately contacted Ling Yun’s clone, which she had intentionally left in the Thousand Beast Realm. She asked him to immediately move Feng Huang and Yue Mengyi to a safe place, and she contacted some of the immortals to go to that realm as soon as possible.
Long Hun breathed a sigh of relief, stood up from his seat, and walked to the cave entrance. He looked up at the sky with a frown. "Where exactly are you hiding, Yuan Shijia? How did you manage to create those fake immortals?"
"I know how you feel; I will try to find Yuan Shijia and stop her." Long Hun nodded slightly to Huang Lingzhu. "By the way, Hua Xianren and Qin Dongwu have already arrived at the barrier of this universe, so I’ll go meet them now, and I’ll take them to the Void Realm to protect them."
"Alright, you can go now." Huang Lingzhu immediately disappeared, and Long Hun went somewhere else to check on something.
