                 “What, you didn’t manage to catch that woman?!”
Huo Wufang’s expression was ugly .  He hadn’t expected that eight Xiantian Celestials would still return having accomplished nothing . 
“When we moved in, we clearly felt two auras in the room .  But then somehow, the only one inside was Long San .  In order to not expose our identity, we could only immediately leave .  Brother Huo, I really am sorry,” said one slender man wearing a scholar’s headband . 
Huo Wufang was currently in a large room with over thirty experts .  These people were all terrifying Celestials .  Furthermore, they were very young, and they contained members from both the Righteous and Corrupt paths .  The person who had spoken just now was from a Righteous sect . 
“Hmph, your Righteous path really is undependable .  You wasted brother Huo’s trust .  How useless,” sneered a Corrupt Celestial . 
“You…! If you have any ability, then go yourself!”
“Let it go .  This matter ends here . ” Seeing the two sides were about to fight, Huo Wufang hastily stopped them .  These people were all his guests . 
These people came from powers that were the Huo family’s customers .  The two sides had cooperated for many years now .  They had helped the Huo family obtain endless resources .  Since he was the future leader of the Huo family, he naturally had to nurture good relationships with them . 
“Tomorrow is the wedding ceremony .  Now isn’t a good time to do anything .  We’ll wait until after .  This Long San has been repeatedly offending me, thinking that he can do so with the Fang and Chai families’ support .  Hmph, once I capture his woman, I’ll definitely find her a few hundred men to satisfy .  Then I’ll record it all and show him right before the finals .  I want to see if he can still calmly refine pills at that time,” sneered Huo Wufang . 
“Brother Huo, just leave this matter to us and we’ll handle it,” said a Corrupt Celestial .  He had two swords on his back, and his eyes were extremely strange .  One was completely black, while one was completely white . 
“Then I’ll thank you for your trouble .  Come, as my honored guests, let’s have a celebration .  The fact that you could come here today means that you truly treat me as a brother .  In the future, as long as I am alive, there will be no problem with your supply of medicinal pills . ”
Huo Wufang did his best to entice them .  He also knew that if the Huo family truly wanted to get a firm foothold, they had to pull in more experts . 
                 These people were the elites of the powers they belonged to .  In the future, they would be the leaders of those powers .  So Huo Wufang had to win them over . 
But he didn’t know that while he plotted on how to snatch Long Chen’s woman, Long Chen was also thinking the same about his . 
…
By the time the morning sun released its first light over the horizon, Pill Yang City was already filled with people . 
Countless people were holding fresh flowers on the sides of a ten-mile-wide road, calmly waiting .  Suddenly, they saw some activity as a large carriage slowly appeared . 
These people all had close relationships with the Huo family, and they had come from all corners of the Eastern Wasteland .  Some people hadn’t even received an invitation card from the Huo family and had merely come to suck up . 
But after coming here, they realized that they didn’t even have the qualifications to do that .  There were too many people, and some of them came from even stronger sects than them .  The only thing they could do was wave their flags and cheer . 
Within the carriage was a beautiful woman .  She wore a phoenix crown and a red shawl .  But her eyes were icy-cold, seeming to contain endless hate and killing intent . 
She was Hua Biluo .  When she had been sent back to Biluo Mountain, that had counted as the end of her experience .  She had received the family’s care and resources . 
Her display had been exceptionally good, and she had formed a relationship with Long Chen, who had been the reason why the Mo family had exterminated the Yin family .  In this world, there was nothing happier than having one’s mortal enemy be destroyed .  As a result, she had even been given the chance to obtain a Heavenly Dao inheritance . 
Unfortunately, that chance hadn’t worked out .  Out of the ten spots, only one person had managed to become a Celestial, and that person hadn’t been her . 
If it hadn’t been her, then that was fine .  But the person who had become a Celestial was envious of her beauty, and she repeatedly suppressed her .  The thing that was most difficult to accept was that this person was her older half-sister . 
                       
In this world, there was a saying that fortune never came in pairs .  That perfectly described Hua Biluo’s plight .  After her older sister had become a Celestial, she gradually gained authority in the family .  She even had the right to join the discussion on major affairs occurring within the family . 
As a result, when the news that Long Chen had fallen in the chaos region came, Hua Biluo had yet to recover from her shock when the Huo family came to propose a marriage .  Her big sister had ‘helped her out’, and no matter how Hua Biluo had tried, she hadn’t been able to change her fate of being married into the Huo family . 
Even when she had gone to beg her father, his response was: everything was for the big picture .  One person had to sacrifice themselves for the greater good . 
That made Hua Biluo’s heart turn completely cold .  She now truly experienced the heartlessness of an ancient family .  If she wanted the right to speak, she had to have enough power .  Otherwise, no one would listen to her .
