“The newest handsome addition to the Tianyan Clan, Yan Liang, how could I not know about you?”

Rong Yuan laughed as he stepped forward to open the door. Gu Lingzhi gave him a questioning glance, “Why do I not know how famous Yan Liang is?”

Rong Yuan laughed lowly as he whispered by her ear, “It seems like you don’t know our opponent well enough yet. After the top 500 clans were set, there was a change in the middle-class True Gods from the Tianyan clan.”

The person that was changed was naturally Yan Liang.

“You knew and you didn’t tell me!” Gu Lingzhi glared at him.

Rong Yuan raised his brows innocently, “At that time, I just thought it was someone with the same name. I didn’t think it would really be him.”

Actually, he had long ago knew that the Yan Liang was the Yan Liang they knew, and he had even met with Yan Liang privately. It was just that at that time, there were others around them, and they did not exchange words. But with regard to things like this, Rong Yuan was definitely not going to tell Gu Lingzhi. He did not forget that Yan Liang refused to give up on Gu Lingzhi. What if he continued to hold on?

As they spoke, the two of them had reached the door.

Hence, when the door opened, the scene Yan Liang saw was how Rong Yuan was stuck close to Gu Lingzhi’s ear as he spoke to her tenderly. His eyes dulled, Rong Yuan definitely did this for him to see.

After all these years, Rong Yuan still got jealous extremely easily.

“To be able to be known by someone from the Tianyan Clan is my fortune. Please come in.” Gu Lingzhi used her elbow to shove Rong Yuan who had stuck onto her like a worm ever since he heard Yan Liang’s voice. She warmly invited Yan Liang in, completely behaving like a nobody that had been noticed by someone famous. It made those around that were monitoring the Gui Yuan Clan, shake their heads.

A nobody will always be a nobody. They had already made it to the top 100 yet they still did not change the way they behaved.

Yan Liang was from the Tianyan Clan and his position was not very different from the Gui Yuan Clan.

There were positive sides to being a nobody. Gu Lingzhi’s performance made those that were watching her think that maybe…it was a good thing for the Gui Yuan Clan to have made it to the top 100. At least, it will be a lot more convenient to try and control them.

Not caring what others thought, the minute Gu Lingzhi finished acting and inviting Yan Liang in, she returned to her normal self. She did not care how jealous Rong Yuan would be as she expressed her joy at seeing Yan Liang.

It made Zhuo Haotian and Hunting Cat confused as they did not know what was going on.

Since when did Gu Lingzhi have such a good friend in the Realm of the Gods?

Looking at the others, they were all wearing similarly delighted expressions. Who was this Yan Liang? Why were they so happy to see him?

Seeing this, Qin Xinran sniggered as she told the two of them about Yan Liang’s true identity. Realisation hit them as they felt heartfelt admiration towards Yan Liang.

To have a foothold in the Tianyan Clan and even appeared as one of the selected few for the Clan Tournament, the Tianyan Clan must hold him in high regard. To be able to do this, Yan Liang’s ability and wisdom must be a lot better than the average person.

“There are a lot of people watching you from the outside so I can’t stay for long in order to prevent suspicions. These are the information I gathered since I came to the Realm of the Gods. It includes clans that are dissatisfied with Pan Luo and his influence. I have secretly checked a few of the leaders as well as several alliances that already started. There are still some that I am monitoring. Take this information back to study and choose a few useful ones. Tell me when you all are making a move so I can help.”

As Yan Liang spoke, he retrieved a thick pile of papers from his Storage Ring. The papers were covered with condensed writings and were the result of Yan Liang’s work these few years. Now, he did not hold back as he passed them to Gu Lingzhi, providing them much needed support for what they were going to do next.

But to obtain so much information, how much risk did Yan Liang have to take in a place like the Tianyan Clan to obtain this?

“Yan Liang…” Gu Lingzhi called out his name. Laughing, Yan Liang cut her off before she could thank him and cracked a rare joke, “I am a part of the Tianyuan Continent and should fulfil my responsibility. Okay, it is time for me to go. I hope that the next time we meet, it won’t be in the battle arena.”

The information Yan Liang gave them was precious and only after Gu Lingzhi had sorted out the information then did she realise that there were so many people that were not completely loyal to Pan Luo. Some of them had a grudge against Pan Luo, that were no less than theirs.

For example, the Wanhua Clan which was ranked number eighty-three. They had an everlasting hatred with Pan Luo. This was because the Wanhua Clan had suffered a similar fate to Zhuo Rong and got on Pan Luo’s bad side. Their existence threatened his power and hence, Pan Luo had sent out an army to wipe out the entire generation of the Wanhua Clan.

It was only after a few hundred years then did the surviving disciples return and incidentally found out that the massacre had been ordered by their beloved Deity King.

Unable to stand how Pan Luo’s power continued to reign, their entire clan worked together but could only cause minimal trouble to Pan Luo. They were no match for him. The Wanhua Clan could only hold onto the grudge deep inside their hearts and change their names, reappearing in the Realm of the Gods under a different clan.

This time round, they learnt their lesson and did not behave like headless chickens. On the outside, they demonstrated their abilities within the acceptable range that Pan Luo would accept. However, they were secretly contacting people who felt like them, hoping that one day they could seek revenge against their mortal enemy.

The reason why Yan Liang knew them was because he accidentally found out that they were taking the side of the Ascension Members from the Tianyuan Continent. They even helped to arrange identities for several Ascension Members. This was when they made contact and formed an alliance.

The rest that had the same strength as the alliance had similar situations to the Wanhua Clan. They were all pitiful people that were forced by Pan Luo.

“This is good. With the addition of the alliance, our success rate when we set out to kill Pan Luo is a lot higher.” Rong Yuan smiled as he saw their ray of hope of winning Pan Luo.

In the next few days, on the surface it seemed like the Gui Yuan Clan was trying to form relationships with several powerful clans. But in actuality, they were following according to the information that Yan Liang gave them and contacting those that were unhappy with Pan Luo.

When the time for the top 100 clans to contend with one another came, Gu Lingzhi and the rest had made contact with a total of 12 powerful clans and allied with them. When the time was right, they would act along with Gu Lingzhi.

Today, it was time for the first round of competition among the top 100 clans. The people that remained in Tianyan City were all here to watch the competition. It was not an everyday affair that they would get the chance to watch the top 100 clans compete.

As usual, Jin Chengcheng came up to Gu Lingzhi before the battle and asked her about her bet.

This time, Gu Lingzhi blinked and did not throw a large bet in as she usually did. Instead, she only placed a small bet of ten thousand god stones. Under Jin Chengcheng's confused look, she said honestly, “The top 100 clans are all extremely powerful, our Gui Yuan Clan may not have as much resources as them, it is better to be careful.”

“I understand, thank you Elder for your advice.” Jin Chengcheng replied gratefully. He knew that it was Gu Lingzhi’s way of warning him that the Gui Yuan Clan were not fully confident of winning this time. Thankfully, he had earned enough from the previous bets and he could very well lock himself up to train for the next few hundred years.

As the top 100 clans gathered together at the main peak in preparation for the first round of battles, a thunder roared in the sky. A solemn voice that made all that listened to him want to serve him filled the air.

“This year, there will be changes to the Clan Tournament. All the clans will enter a Secret Territory for the final round. The positionings will be determined by the points received in the Secret Territory.”

“D-Deity King? Oh my god, was that the Deity King’s voice?” A few people exclaimed. Under the threat of the voice, they could not help but fall to their knees.

There were also those that paid attention to the changes in the rules that Pan Luo mentioned. In the past years, it was always rounds and rounds of competition, this time it became a showdown in a Secret Territory. Could it be that Pan Luo had his suspicions?

Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan exchanged glances as cold sweat appeared on their palms.

Rong Yuan stroked the back of her hand comfortingly and whispered, “Don’t be nervous, if it was really like that he would have taken action directly.”

Although Rong Yuan did not say his name directly, Gu Lingzhi understood what he was getting at.

With Pan Luo’s personality, if he knew there was a problem with the Gui Yuan Clan, he would not have gone through the trouble of setting up a Secret Territory. He could easily order the people on the ground to get rid of them directly!

Before everyone could figure out the purpose of this, the battle arena that the Tianyan Clan had prepared shone with a bright light. The gold ray shot to the sky and the Clan Leader of Tianyan Clan spoke, “Everyone who is participating in the top 100 competition, please enter the Teleportation Spell. You will be sent to the Secret Territory that the Deity King specially opened for the last portion of this competition.”

As the voice died down, the Tianyan Clan headed into the Teleportation Spell first as a tribute. When Yan Liang was about to enter, his eyes seemed to brush across the Gui Yuan Clan, seemingly to tell them to rest assured.

Gu Lingzhi immediately calmed down.

As long as the Secret Territory wasn’t part of Pan Luo’s plot.

Seeing this, Rong Yuan became slightly sour, “Why do you not believe me but you immediately relaxed when that brat gave you a look?” He was jealous.

Gu Lingzhi gave him a glare, “Are you in the same position as him?” Yan Liang had infiltrated into the enemy’s den and was bringing them news. Rong Yuan was completely guessing. How could they be the same?

“I’m so sad!” Rong Yuan accused indignantly, “Is there no more excitement after so much time has passed? You’re making my heart break!”

Gu Lingzhi simply replied with an eyeroll. The people from the Gui Yuan Clan were amused as they saw them. Mei Ying even pointed at Rong Yuan and mocked, “Little Rong, after all these years, you can’t even handle your own woman, you are embarrassing us men!”

Rong Yuan looked at him faintly, “You speak as if you can handle yours.”

Mei Ying instantly shut his mouth awkwardly, not daring to say another word. This time, everyone was laughing at him.
