A/n: First of all, I am sorry.
Last night, I was in a hurry and ended up uploading the contents from a different file, which I had opened in another tab to check some previous plots. If not for your comments, I wouldn't have even noticed. The right chapter is now uploaded, and as compensation, I have also written this chapter.
If you do not see the right content in your chapter: please go to the settings tab in the profile section of the app. In the settings, tap on clear cache.
I apologize for the misunderstanding and inconvenience.
(now back to the story)
...*...
Moon Lake Estate, Crimson City, Crimson Bay, Xin Kingdom.
About an hour ago...
Standing at the balcony, gazing over the Crimson City, Heavenly King Wang frowned.
His expression was calm, but the slight frown on his face showcased his impatience.
Just then, without turning back, he opened his mouth and asked.
"What's the situation?"
Behind him, a black shadow had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, but with his cultivation, he could sense everything within hundreds of kilometers of himself, much less his own guard.
The guard, who was fully covered in black robes from head to foot, kneeled on one knee as soon as he entered the room and slowly gave his report.
"Third Prince, there have been no signs of any youngster suddenly gaining power and rapidly increasing his cultivation in the last few months. As for behavioral change, there are a few names, the most prominent of them is Fang Chen in the Fang Clan. in fact, his cultivation has also increased a lot, but it's been about a year since he showcased his talent, not just a few months."
Heavenly King Wang narrowed his eyes, "No need to pay attention to him. He's someone I will meet soon. I am more interested in the rising talents of the last six months."
The black-robed man took out a parchment from his spatial ring, "Third Prince, even though we couldn't find anyone with monstrous talent, this is the list of the rising talents in different clans and sects in the span of the last six months."
Heavenly King Wang flicked his fingers, and the parchment slowly flew up in his hands.
"Hm..." He stared at the parchment, but after some time, he shook his head.
The relationship between Heavenly King Wang and Emperor Ye was complicated, to say the least. Due to some past incidents, both had drifted apart and even didn't prefer many interactions, however, they still trusted each other more than anyone else.
"Wen'er, how have you been?" Emperor Ye turned his head towards his youngest brother and asked.
Heavenly King WAng sighed, "To be honest, I am bored."
"Bored?"
"Yes," Heavenly King Wang, "You have given me the most boring thing to do. No one will come to that dungeon and the Emblem of Chaos... I don't think it will be found either."
Emperor Ye shook his head, "No, the Emblem of Chaos will come. Did you not get my message six months ago about it? The Emblem of Chaos has chosen its holder for this generation."
Heavenly King Wang nodded. His big brother was the holder of the Emblem of Chaos, and just like how he knew if someone had the Token of Truth, the former too knew if someone had the Emblem of Chaos.
Though, the exact identity of the successor couldn't be revealed.
"Don't worry about the Emblems and the dungeon," Emperor Ye said, "At least not until there is an update about either of them. For now, the main focus is on the Upper Heavens."
Heavenly King Wang nodded, "I have heard that the Great Ye Corps are on the move? Have you found Sister-in-law?"
Emperor Ye pursed his lips and nodded, "Yes, but things are much more complicated. I will give you the details later, for now, let's get to the reason why I have called you here."
"Yes?"
"Well, we have found a few spies in our Corps," Emperor Ye said, "But instead of eliminating them, we have laid out a trap. We have laid out a false mission targeting the Bai Clan, while our main target is the Zheng Clan."
"What do you need me for?" Heavenly King Wang asked, "I hope you haven't forgotten that I can't leave the Lower Heavens right now."
"I know," Emperor Ye nodded, "And the mission I have for you is to find the two kids - they can be anywhere in the Lower Heavens."
"Oh? What information do we have about them?" Heavenly King Wang frowned.
"We only have their names," Emperor Ye replied, "One of them is the lost child from Zheng Clan, his name is Zheng Xian-!"
Before he could finish, Heavenly King Wang suddenly stood up.
"Hm? What happened?" Emperor Ye paused and frowned, confused by the shocked expression on his brother's face.
"Someone just passed the dungeon!" Heavenly King Wang gulped, and a sudden silence descended around the bonfire.
