Chapter 3591 - Shut Up, I'm Alone

"It's too soon! It can't be!"

The unaffiliated cultivators, especially the black ring disciples and saints, were at the bottom rung of the ladder, so they didn't get any news. The ancient, sacred, and august houses were also shocked and immediately held emergency meetings as they watched the developing madness.

If the Three Exalted Houses ordered them to attack and immediately surround the Grand Myriadpath Ruins, they wouldn't be able to refuse the order. The Three Exalted Houses had made sure to completely clamp down on the houses—especially the august houses—over the past ten years.

However, the Three Exalted Houses themselves were in chaos over the current situation. Nobody understood why the Grand Myriadpath Ruins would burst into Myriadpath Valley at a time like this, let alone proceed to its deepest part, which would be harder to escape from. Was it a suicide attack?

In Qitian Cave, Qitian Xiao immediately received word from his son about the situation. A cold aura radiated from his eyes. He had been constantly tortured by the death of his old partner over the past decade. He had gone from being a super-zenith valley lord to a crippled man without even fighting in a grand battle. It sounded like something out of a badly written comedy.

Even so, he still wanted to be the top dog in Myriadpath Valley. It was all too frustrating! His twilight was coming and he finally felt the powerlessness that he had inflicted upon his own master. His heart had also experienced a constant gnawing since the death of his tensource beast, twisting him more and more.

Even if he was still the valley lord in name, he still got a lot of weird looks whenever he left his cave. The humiliating gazes felt like they constantly pierced his heart. If it weren’t for the fact that he had to give it one last effort to fully recover, he would have lost his patience long ago. Yet the Grand Myriadpath Ruins chose to return at a time like this!

He didn't hesitate any longer. "Summon the Three Exalted Houses, as well as the august and sacred houses. Have all cultivators in Myriadpath Valley mobilize to take down the traitors in the Grand Myriadpath Ruins!" he declared.

"Don’t we need to defend the three caves?" Qitian Muyu asked, worried that his father had gone mad.

"Of course. Leave enough people to operate the defensive formations."

"Okay, I'll pass the order on right away!" Qitian Muyu was with Yumo Diyan and the old patriarch, so they would also relay the order.

All the august and sacred houses immediately answered the valley lord's order. The Three Exalted Houses had tightened their grip on their weaknesses in the past ten years, so they had no right to refuse.

The troops gradually assembled to witness history. They surrounded the Grand Myriadpath Ruins; commotion had returned to Myriadpath Valley after ten years of stagnant silence. In fact, it was even rowdier than before. The Three Exalted Houses weren't the only ones participating. Instead, all of Myriadpath Valley was part of the battle, one that could fundamentally change who ruled it.

"Pathkeeper Li might truly be back!" "Is he really confident in his chances?"

The Grand Myriadpath Ruins didn't do anything while everyone surrounded them. Qitian Xiao, the old patriarch, Qitian Muyu, and Yumo Diyan split up and surrounded the ship from four sides with their troops, all armed with cosmic artifacts that could breach its hull.

"Where's Suishen Ranxing?" Qitian Xiao asked the old patriarch, who had brought the reverends and eminents of House Suishen with him. They numbered the most out of the rest.

"He'll be here soon! What about Qitian Muyue?" the old patriarch asked.

"She's transporting the Qingchuan prisoners!" Qitian Xiao snapped, a savage look in his eyes. The prisoners hadn't been of any use last time, but he knew that the former valley lord definitely didn't feel nothing for them. Even if Qitian Xiao didn't want to waste the feed he had for his house, they might be put to better use!

Everyone had assembled. The outermost part of the encirclement was comprised of astral gods from all kinds of minor factions. The conflict had little to do with them, so they were only there to watch things play out; the core players were all near the center. As they were only facing off against a few elites, there wasn't a point in bringing an entire army. All they needed were eminents and reverends.

Qitian Xiao had recovered much more than he had during the former battle at the Progenitor's Altar. Appearance-wise, he seemed to have regained his former glory. Only a tiny portion of divine toxin still resided within his astral organs. His silver hair and gaze gave off an incredibly cold impression. Those who saw him worried on behalf of Tianming and the former valley lord.

With a stormy look, the valley lord pointed the Myriadpath Divinity, his sword, at the Grand Myriadpath Ruins. "Jian Qingfeng, Suishen Jiguang, Suishen Xiyue, and Li Tianming! The four of you have already betrayed Myriadpath Valley. How dare you return?! Time to show yourselves and die!"

The proclamation made even more astral gods nervous. Killing intent radiated from the Three Exalted Houses' ranks and spread all throughout Myriadpath Valley. While most reverends and eminents were from august and sacred houses, the strongest major-zenith elites all came from the Three Exalted Houses.

"Traitors, if you don't show yourselves, we’ll breach the Grand Myriadpath Ruins!" Yumo Diyan hoarsely roared, ready for savage violence.

Right as the Three Exalted Houses were about to launch their attack, an old man's laughter echoed out from the ship as the entrance to the upper ruins opened up. Then an old man in a green robe walked out with his arms behind his back, seeming incredibly relaxed. He chuckled as if he had no worries in the world.

"Stop shouting, I'm alone!" the former valley lord said.

"Just you?" Qitian Xiao smirked. "Are you suggesting that you've realized the extent of your atrocities and wish to surrender and plead with Myriadpath Valley to spare House Qingchuan?"

People were surprised that it would come to such a point, yet there wasn't any better explanation for the former valley lord's actions! Why did he come alone? Wasn’t he worried about being ganged up on and killed?
