While Tong and Lu Bu were stranded in Lilim's private dimension, clan notifications alarmed all clan members, including Diaochan and Dong Bai.
Even though Tong had warned them that changes were coming, this was too sudden.
Diaochan stopped cultivating and ordered everyone right away.
Diaochan: ”Put me as the clan leader. I'll take it over.”
Cao Cao: ”What about his majesty? Why did he leave?”
Diaochan: ”Reread the logs. He is trapping Lilim at the moment, so we only have 10 years to overcome the difference in strength.”
Cao Cao: ”We? Shouldn't it be you?”
Zhuge Liang: ”Please don't feint ignorance, Wei Chancellor. We've learned that Lilim got Guan Yu, Lu Bu, and might have enslaved our emperor. Sun Ce is also working for her. We should start preparing for another war with the goddess faction now.”
Te Langpu: ”By the way, what about the battle at Zhongshan and Nanpi? What's the result?”
Sima Yi: ”I've sent Zhao Yun and Wei Yan to subjugate the local resistances. I'm waiting for their result.”
Sima Yi: ”Also, I have a weird feeling that I forgot something very important. Is there something happening to Zhang Min recently?”
Dong Bai: ”Aside from being rescued by Lu Bu, Zhang Min is fine.”
Sima Yi: ”Is that all? Nothing happened to her?”
Dong Bai: ”Do you want something to happen to her or what?”
Sima Yi: ”Nothing. Just asking.”
Diaochan: ”…”

Diaochan was swift. Even though she was cultivating, she still paid attention to all changes and reacted to it.
But now, Diaochan frowned as she looked at the wiggling karmic snakes on the floor. These things attempted to invade her body, but they were repelled by her karma law's resistance from her 8 wings.
'Aren't these memory snakes?'
Behind Diaochan, eight black wings fluttered, but they had red lines on them. The breakthrough was successful, but her foundation was still unstable.
Fortunately, the constitution of 8-wing immortal could self-heal faster. From now on, she did not have to worry about relapsing soul injuries.
Still, the brainwashing karma snakes alarmed Diaochan. The only one who could use this technique was a 10-wing immortal or someone with a higher cultivation base.
'Lilim must have done something, or this is Tong's work.'
Medusa closed her eyes and concentrated on healing and reinforcing her foundation. Once she recovered, she planned to head west toward her mother's homeland to solve her bloodline karma.

While Tong was bargaining with Lilim, the situation at Zhongshan progressed.
”Brother Song, do you think we should look for those old men?”
Chen Wu grumbled, ”Let's just snatch the city gold and return to Jianye. Zhang Tong has appeared, and we're at risk of being hunted down.”
”Right. Man, Zhou Yu in this world sucks. He was smarter in the other world.”
”Can't help it. He's blind with rage. Zhang Tong stole his wife after all.”
”By the way, what are we going to report to Sun Ce if we return empty-handed?”
”Just tell him that Zhen Yi and Wang Yun are dead or captured. Or we can make up a story that we fought Zhang Tong and survived. Then, we can get a bit of credit for standing against a stronger cultivator.”
”Good idea. Let's rob this city and go home.”
Both men landed inside the government building area as they beelined toward the treasury.
As they had expected, Zhongshan City's treasury stored many treasures, supplies, and gold nuggets inside. However, gold chests were lacking as Zhen Yi had taken most of them with him.
Still, Song Qian and Chen Wu took one chest each. They left the building and soared to the sky right away.
On their way, out of the city, two angels chased after them from behind.
”FBI, FREEZE!!”
Strange words came from the angel with white clothes, which confused Song Qian and Chen Wu.
”Dafuq? Speak a human's language, fool!”
They turned around and prepared to engage in combat.
When Song Qian and Chen Wu noticed that the two pursuers had the same 4-wing strength, their face turned solemn. Both of them began thinking.
Since they were carrying a gold chest, they were not in the best condition to fight in aerial combat. On the other hand, two angels came with their weapons.
”Let's bail.”
”Yeah.”
Song Qian and Chen Wu turned tail and flew away. They also separated, so the pursuers could not catch both of them at once.
.
The pursuers, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, looked at each other.
”Should we chase?”
Zhao Yun shook his head, ”Leave them. Our speed is similar, so it will just be a wild goose chase. No pun intended.”
”…”
Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, who were ordered to find Zhen Yi and Wang Yun, ran into Chen Wu and Song Qian. As the four men had the same strength and it would be risky to fight them head-on, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan retreated and reported the matter to Sima Yi.
”We've run into two angels in the city. Strategist Sima, what's our next move?”
Sima Yi's face grimaced as he was still confused about the recent changes of the clan and his weird feeling about his memory. His instinct cried that he lost something important, but he could not remember.
Though distracted, he could still focus on the matter at hand.
”Did you fight with them?”
”No. They ran away as soon as we noticed them.”
”How about the citizens and the local troops? Are they hostile?”
”No. They simply mistook us as gods and prostrated to us.”
”Are you sure?”
”Yes.”
”…”
