Shadows approaching Golden Moon.

"So how do you want to split them up? Half and half?"

Looking at the approaching enemies, Yun Yantian glanced at Lin Ren as he asked, his grin turning into an expectant smile. He held the Sword God's Gate, he was someone perfectly suited for battle, he thrived on it.

"Lets just battle it out and see who can kill the most. We are not allowed to use our domains. We need to make it flashy, but not too flashy, we still have to wait for brother Jun and sister Luo to return after all."

Lin Ren pondered for a short second before responding. It was fine to crush the enemies with just the two of them, but they could not show their full strength. Only when all of Titan's Gate was gathered would they get to show their full power.

As for the domains he was talking about, it was something the two of them had learned after they reached the middle stage of the 2nd Mortal Earth. It allowed them to project their God Gates into reality, creating an area perfectly suited for them and their powers.

They had explained the power to Yao Jun, who could only complain that he had not acquired a power like that. His complaints were quickly met with complaints from Yun Yantian and Lin Ren however. After all, Yao Jun had access to a multitude of elements, as well as a wider variety of Demonic beasts. To them, that was just as unfair as their domains.

"Alright. What about the armaments? Can we use them?"

Yun Yantian nodded his head and asked another question. The group of enemies were quickly getting closer, but the two of them were still completely calm. Armaments was the name they had given to the armor they received as the grew stronger.

"No way, they look far too gaudy."

Lin Ren quickly shook his head as the corners of his mouth twitched. Just thinking about being seen while wearing that armor made him uncomfortable. If he could go his entire life without being seen in it, that would be fine by him.

"True, they really are rather excessive. I wonder how brother Jun got his to look so normal. Ah, they are within range."

Yun Yantian let out a little chuckle as he responded and glanced at the enemies that had gotten within range. Yao Jun's armor looked normal, but the armor of the two of them looked rather special. Calling it special was not enough, embarrassing fit better.

"We should ask him about that once he comes back."

Lin Ren waved his hand as he responded, a single transparent soul rising up from the ground and charging into the group of enemies. Whoever was touched by the soul would feel a ringing noise reverberate inside their head, their vision blurring and distorting.

Lin Ren was approaching the late stage of the 2nd Mortal Earth, but he still only had a single soul at his disposal. As for why they had higher cultivation levels than Yao Jun, it was because these last months they had completely focused on building up Titan's Gate and cultivation, while Yao Jun spent a lot of time touring with Guo Luo.

"Yeah, I really don't want to be seen in public while wearing that armor. Right, we mustn't forget to make sure that we don't anyone here escape."

Yun Yantian did not let Lin Ren do all the work. The enemies were not yet within range of melee combat, but they were within the range of his God Gate. With just a glance, the wind and air turned into invisible swords that moved like the breeze, reaping lives wherever they passed.

Yun Yantian put most of his focus on killing people who resembled sword-wielders, as he could absorb their sword intent and even their weapons upon killing them. The others were left for Lin Ren, who was slowly increasing the amount of souls he had at his disposal. At the start of the battle he only had one soul available, but now he already had eight.

"True, sister Yi would really scold us if that were to happen. Even Yuhuan would probably slap me a few times."

Yun Yantian chuckled slightly, a faint smile on his face. Wan Yi was incredibly strict with the management of Titan's Gate, so she really would end up horribly scolding them if they let any of the enemies escape.

"...Why does it look like you are almost looking forward to it?"

Seeing the smile on Yun Yantian's face, Lin Ren could not help but raise an eyebrow. Within that faint smile, there seemed to be a slight amount of expectation of getting slapped by Yang Yuhuan.

Of course, despite their casual talk, they were still battling properly. The enemies had been so shocked by the sudden carnage that they slowed down slightly, but they were already so close that they quickly reached Yun Yantian and Lin Ren.

Yun Yantian grasped his sword and moved like the wind, his sword moving like he was trying to paint a beautiful picture, the very picture of elegance and grace. Lin Ren's fighting style resembled Yao Jun's, speed and power.

His halberd was two meters long and ash gray in color. Besides the spear like tip, there was a large axe-head on the right side of the halberd, and a small hammer like protrusion on the left side. This allowed Lin Ren to stab, slash, and crush as he liked. His battle style constantly changing to fit the situation.

"No idea what you are talking about."

Yun Yantian kept a completely straight face as he responded, the faint smile he had earlier completely vanishing. In situations like these, feigning ignorance was the best option he had.

"You should learn from brother Jun and just go for it, i'm sure she will accept you."

Lin Ren slightly shook his head as he responded. Guo Luo had already told them how she and Yao Jun met and got together. Lin Ren was not like Yao Jun, a man that would only settle with a single woman, but even he had to give him a thumbs up when he heard how Yao Jun acted back then.

"Lets just focus on the task at hand."

Yun Yantian could only release a sigh, he did not like talking about his emotions, especially when he himself had not completely figured them out yet. In just the short amount of time it took for the two of them to chat like this, of the 30 enemies that had attacked them, only five remained. They wanted to flee, but with the new souls under Lin Ren's command continuously harassing them, it was already impossible for them to flee.

"Sure, but if you try to dodge the topic in the future, I will force you to follow me to the brothel and then tattle on you to sister Yuhuan."

Lin Ren spoke with a slightly evil smile. He frequented the brothel in the town and was well known and liked by the people there. Even if he did not manage to drag Yun Yantian with him there, he could still have the workers there pretend like Yun Yantian had been there. There was no escaping for Yun Yantian.

"You are a cruel man."

Yun Yantian released another sigh and accepted his fate. He could almost imagine how much Yang Yuhuan would beat him if she suspected that he had visited a brothel. He could tell her the truth as much as he wanted, she would still give him a beating.

–

While Yun Yantian and Lin Ren were keeping Titan's Gate safe, there was movement inside a certain house belonging to one of the higher ranked people of the Yao clam.

"You called for me Uncle Meng?"

Yao Gang entered a large and luxurious room that was decorated with various jade carvings and marble statues. The plants that were used to decorate the room were also very rare and would fetch a sky high price if they were to be sold.

"Indeed. We have received information about the person who killed my son."

At the other side of the room, sitting behind a desk made out of a strange type of wood, sat Yao Meng, the father of Yao Shui. Yao Meng was currently looking at a collection of papers, a wide smile on his face.

"Really?! Is this information trustworthy?"

Yao Gang could not help but shout out. It had only been a little over a week since Yao Jun entered the hidden realm, but they had already gotten information about him? How had they managed to get it so fast?

"I got it from someone very high up in the Peng clan, so it is most certainly true."

The person who gave Yao Meng the information about Yao Jun was one of the higher ranked people in the Peng clan, so the odds of it being fake were very low. Yao Meng did not know why someone from the Peng clan was willing to hand him information about Yao Jun, but he did not care. All he wanted was to kill Yao Jun and those he cared about.

"His real name is Yao Jun, the only child of Yao Xun and Yao He. The two of them currently live in Golden Moon Town."

Yao Meng summarized the information he had about Yao Jun, skipping over his early life. There were some holes in the information he had gotten. It barely said anything about his time on the Guanyu continent, only stating that he had contact with the Demon Race headquarters.

Yao Meng did not know how much of this information was true, but it did not matter to him. All he knew was that he could use this information against Yao Jun, that was all he cared about. Even if it was just a suspicion that Yao Jun had contact with the Demon Race headquarter, the clan would still agree to Yao Meng attacking his parents.

After all, even though they were not actually at war with the Demon Race, every clan dreamed about being the only supreme clan. If they could learn more about the Demon Race, maybe slowly absorb them into the Yao clan, they could easily become the only supreme clan.

"Yao Xun and Yao He?! Then does that mean that we will have to let them go? I don't think patriarch Luying will accept it if we were to kill his two adoptive children..."

Yao Gang faltered slightly after hearing about Yao Jun's parents. Yao Xun and Yao He had fought for the clan for many years, and brought about great results even. They were also considered the adoptive children of the Yao clan patriarch, Yao Luying, as he was the one who brought them into the clan as children.

"There is no need to worry about that. It seems that this Yao Jun has some connections with the Demon Race, so as long as we show the higher ups that, we can do as we like."

Yao Meng let out a cold snort. With the temptation that was information about the Demon Race headquarter, not even Yao Luying would be able to stop Yao Meng from moving towards Yao Jun's parents. And if they just so happened to die during the attack, there was nothing they could do.

"I have already sent people towards Golden Moon Town. We only need to wait for their report."
