Over by Lonely City, the patriarchs were so furious that they were stomping their feet. They watched the solemn-looking Qin Xiao, their faces turning red with anger.

"The fighting has already started over there!"

"Beyond Heaven has deployed a large number of experts!"

"Beyond Heaven has numerous experts!"

"Patriarchs... Beyond Heaven's experts are innumerable, easily over a hundred, all emanating a primordial aura!"

"One Sword and Immortal seem to have prepared for this, Immortal's matriarch directly killed four or five people..."

"Hua Xiaoya's swordsmanship is terrifying, no one can even approach her!"

"True to having spent a year in the Ruins, Miao Yiniang's attacking methods...are terrifying, simply divine! She doesn't even need to lift a finger, just shouting out her moves can directly attack the enemy..."

"Shen Xingxue can actually refine elixirs that can be used for direct attack!"

"The most frightening thing...is Huang Hui, is she really just a maidservant by Chu Mo's side? How is she so powerful?"

News after news were reported swiftly to the Patriarch of Lonely City.

Lonely City had originally planned to join the war. Beyond Heaven had sent people to contact them, asking only that they hold back One Sword's people. This condition was too good to refuse!

After all, if they truly fought to the death, no one would get away without substantial losses. Hence, Beyond Heaven only asked Lonely City to hold back One Sword, which put Lonely City in a very advantageous position. The patriarch of Lonely City was ready to agree. However, who would have thought that the normally cold and silent Qin Xiao, upon returning, suddenly stepped forward to stop them all and forbid Lonely City from participating in the war.

Given Qin Xiao's status, he should be insignificant in their view.

No matter if he is the youngest elder in Lonely City or even if he is the head of Lonely City, so what? In front of these patriarchs, where does he find the audacity to act superior?

However, Qin Xiao truly stopped them all. He held off a patriarch from Lonely City, who tried to teach him a lesson, using only one move. Although the patriarch was not hurt, he was terrified!

He could not have imagined that Qin Xiao could become this formidable after spending a year in the Ruins.

Afterward, the news from the battlefield kept coming, chilling the hearts of the angry patriarchs of Lonely City halfway before enraging them even more.

However, this time, their anger was not directed at Qin Xiao, but at Beyond Heaven!

At the beginning, they were really angry at Qin Xiao. They felt that this youngster, despite gaining great opportunities in the Ruins and surpassing everyone in power, was still a minor in Lonely City. How dare he do something so improper as to defy his superiors?

But not long after, the constant increase in the number of Beyond Heaven's primordial warriors reported in the battle news scared the patriarchs of Lonely City.

The four sects were very clear about each other's strengths.

Over the centuries, each sect only had that many primordial experts, all of whom were familiar figures to each other.

Who could have expected that Beyond Heaven would suddenly have more than a hundred primordial experts!

Then, the resistance from Immortal and One Sword surprised them even more.

No need to mention the senior figures, but why are Miao Yiniang, Shen Xingxue, Hua Xiaoya, and Huang Hui, these young girls, also so powerful?

Could it be because they stayed in the Ruins for a year?

Regardless of the reason, the patriarchs of Lonely City have accepted in their hearts that Qin Xiao did the right thing by stopping them!

Therefore, each one of them, their faces red and ears flaming, didn't know what to say.

Qin Xiao looked at everyone, his voice cold, "Beyond Heaven is no longer the true Beyond Heaven, Li Zhu has been possessed by the Demon Clan, he is now a true Demon Clan member. He uses the Demon Clan's methods to create a large number of primordial warriors. His goal is to rule the entire world!"

All the patriarchs of Lonely City could not help but gasp, some of them were frightened.

After all, this was too horrifying. Who could have imagined this before?

"Then...what should we do? Just watch?" A patriarch of Lonely City asked Qin Xiao with a frown.

Qin Xiao said, "I stopped you all because I didn't want you, respected patriarchs, to recklessly assist Beyond Heaven's enemies."

"But Immortal and One Sword...are also our enemies!" A Lonely City patriarch said painfully, "We've practically fallen out already."

"Therefore, this is our chance to make amends for our mistake," Qin Xiao said.

"Make amends for our mistake? What mistake have we committed?" A patriarch of Lonely City asked with an angry face.

Qin Xiao looked at him indifferently, "When Immortal and One Sword win this fight, we will have made a mistake."

These words sent chills down everyone's spine.

Indeed, after this battle, regardless of who wins or loses, no one will forgive Lonely City for standing by and watching.

If Beyond Heaven wins, it would be disastrous. With their ability to create primordial puppets, they could annihilate Lonely City without lifting a finger.

If Immortal and One Sword win, it wouldn't be much better for Lonely City. Not many people would easily forgive their enemies. Because forgiving enemies easily is not a sign of generosity, but a lack of moral judgment!

Enemies are enemies, why should they be forgiven?

"Could it be...we should join the war now and fight Beyond Heaven directly?" A patriarch from Lonely City, looking confused, regarded Qin Xiao. He was somewhat doubtful as to why Qin Xiao suddenly sided with Immortal and One Sword.

If they didn't all know Qin Xiao so well, they might even suspect whether Qin Xiao was impersonated by someone else.

But even when the head of Lonely City used a secret that only Qin Xiao and he knew to test him, Qin Xiao still responded fluidly. This proved that Qin Xiao was indeed Qin Xiao. As for why he changed sides, probably only he himself knows.

After thinking for a bit, Qin Xiao said, "We should raid the stronghold of Beyond Heaven!"

"What?"

"That's too reckless!"

"Doing so would incur heavy losses for us!"

"I disagree!"

Almost all the patriarchs of Lonely City present expressed their opposition.

Just then, another battle report arrived.

"Report — there's a stalemate among the three factions. On the whole, Beyond Heaven seems to be suffering more casualties! The oldest patriarch from Immortal seems to fight without regards for his life, not caring about his own injuries, launching a mad attack towards Beyond Heaven's people!"

The room fell into quietness for a moment. Qin Xiao looked at everyone and said solemnly, "This is our greatest opportunity! Otherwise, after this battle, out of the four sects, only two will remain!"

The patriarchs of Lonely City looked at each other, performing their own internal calculations of pros and cons.

Finally, the eldest patriarch of Lonely City gritted his teeth, "Beyond Heaven has played a big game, clearly incorporating the whole world into their calculations. What Qin Xiao said is correct, if Immortal and One Sword are truly annihilated, we won't end up any better!"

A hint of something unusual flashed in Qin Xiao's eyes as he looked at this patriarch.

The eldest patriarch of Lonely City gave a determined order, "Attack the stronghold of Beyond Heaven! Aim to achieve the maximum benefit with the minimum sacrifice!"
