The leader of the northern group, an old man in a short brown robe, stepped forward. His sharp eyes sparkled with confidence, and his laughter was full of mockery.
"Hahaha! You Haiyin, you’ve fought well," he said with a cold smile. "But after today, your You Clan will no longer exist on Three Mountains Island."
The leader of the southern group, a heavyset man in a purple robe, joined in. His face showed no emotion as he stared at You Haiyin. "From now on, Three Mountains Island belongs to the Gan and Cai Clans."
"You dare, Gan Ruifeng! Cai Xueqing!" You Haiyin snapped, glaring at them. His fists shook with restrained anger. "I knew you wouldn’t miss this chance."
The You Clan had just fought a hard battle against the Heavenly Gu Society and lost many members, including two strong cultivators from the Inquiring Journey realm. They were too weak now to stand equally against the Gan and Cai Clans.
Gan Ruifeng smirked. "Why wouldn’t we? An opportunity like this comes only once in a thousand years."
"You Haiyin, if you’re wise, leave Three Mountains Island. We’ll allow you to go peacefully. But if you resist, don’t expect mercy."
"You’re dreaming!" You Haiyin’s eyes burned with fury. "Three Mountains Island has belonged to the You Clan for generations! Your Gan and Cai Clans are nothing but outsiders."
"You want to take advantage of our weakness? Then come and try! Even if I die here today, you’ll pay a heavy price!" His words were filled with defiance, and his energy surged, radiating determination.
He knew the Gan and Cai Clans didn’t plan to spare his people. They wanted to destroy the You Clan completely. Giving up now would mean the end for them.
Cai Xueqing narrowed his eyes. "Don’t regret your decision when we wipe out your clan, You Haiyin."
But You Haiyin just laughed. "You Clan warriors, come forward!" His voice echoed across the battlefield. "Are you ready to abandon Three Mountains Island and wander without a home?"
"No!" the You Clan members shouted together. Their eyes glowed with determination. They knew the situation was desperate. If they gave up now, they would be nothing but easy prey.
"Good!" You Haiyin roared. "We’ll fight to the end! If the Gan and Cai Clans want our land, they’ll regret it for a thousand years!"
His energy grew stronger, shaking the air around him. The tension was so thick it felt like the battlefield itself was holding its breath.
Gan Ruifeng’s face turned cold. "Fine. If you want death, I’ll grant it." He raised his hand. "Gan Clan warriors, are you ready?"
"Yes!" The voices of the Gan Clan warriors boomed in unison.
Cai Xueqing followed. "Cai Clan warriors, are you ready?"
"Yes!" The Cai Clan warriors responded with the same icy precision, their faces emotionless.
"Attack!" Gan Ruifeng and Cai Xueqing ordered at the same time.
More than a hundred warriors, each stronger than the Heavenly Origin realm, charged toward the You Clan.
"You Clan, to me!" You Haiyin shouted, gripping his weapon tightly. He leapt forward to meet Gan Ruifeng and Cai Xueqing.
The battle erupted in chaos.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Powerful spells and weapons clashed, lighting up the battlefield with ominous energy. The land shook under the force of their attacks, splitting into craters and chasms as if parts of Three Mountains Island were falling apart.

Jiang Chen stayed hidden in the skies, his sharp eyes fixed on the fierce battle unfolding below on Three Mountains Island.
The soft echoes of system notifications lingered in his mind.
[Ding! You have successfully altered the plot. Protagonist Gu Ran’s Heavenly Fate Value has decreased by 2000 points!]
[Ding! You have earned 4000 Villain Value points!]
Jiang Chen’s lips curved into a smirk. Another 2000 points off Gu Ran’s Heavenly Fate Value, he thought with satisfaction. All my careful planning is paying off.
His gaze shifted toward Liu Xiong.
Far from the battlefield, Liu Xiong and his squad of death warriors had positioned themselves over a hundred kilometers away, safely out of the divine sense range of the powerful Inquiring Journey realm cultivators.
And Gu Ran was with them.
Despite the danger, Gu Ran hadn’t left. He was determined to uncover the truth behind the Heavenly Gu Society, even if all he gained was a tiny clue.
On a massive ship anchored far from the island, Liu Xiong and his warriors sat calmly, with Gu Ran among them.
"Who are you, really?" Gu Ran’s cold voice broke the silence. "What does the Heavenly Gu Society want? Why am I so important to your plans? And what’s your aim for Three Mountains Island?"
Liu Xiong remained calm. "Young Master Gu, please set aside your anger," he said with a composed tone.
"The Heavenly Gu Society was established in an ancient time, waiting for the day you would appear."
"Our name holds deeper meaning. We are your guardians."
"You have an extraordinary gift and unparalleled talent for cultivation, but your journey is filled with peril." Following Jiang Chen’s instructions, Liu Xiong wove a tale designed to entangle Gu Ran in confusion and trust.
Though Liu Xiong didn’t fully understand why Jiang Chen wanted this, he obeyed without hesitation. Jiang Chen’s commands were absolute.
"My guardians?" Gu Ran repeated, his brows furrowed. "An organization waiting for me since ancient times?"
Though skeptical, he couldn’t ignore the unease creeping into his heart. The Heavenly Gu Society had indeed acted to protect him so far, yet his instincts warned him of hidden motives.
The claim that the Heavenly Gu Society had existed for ages, awaiting his arrival, struck a strange chord within him.
That was because Gu Ran occasionally experienced fragmented memories—brief, ancient flashes that felt like they came from a time long past, as if they were carved into his very blood.
These memories seemed linked to a power deep within him. Gu Ran began to wonder if the Heavenly Gu Society had been watching him—or more specifically, the Endless Dark Blood Moon Bloodline he carried—all along.
With two powerful but conflicting bloodlines in his body, questions filled Gu Ran’s mind.
Who am I, truly? What does my bloodline mean? And why do they care so much?
But for now, he lacked evidence to answer these doubts. Reluctantly, he pushed his questions aside, telling himself that clarity would come in time.
One thing was certain. The more battles he fought, the more his Endless Dark Blood Moon Bloodline stirred, as if waking from a deep slumber. Each battle brought stronger flashes of those mysterious memories.
Gu Ran believed that as he pieced those memories together, the truth about himself—and the Heavenly Gu Society—would eventually come to light.
