On the other side, Gali Mo received the Lord’s announcement, furrowing his brows in confusion. What is the Lord’s intention with this move? Could it be that he is planning to wipe me out with the others?

For a moment, his anger surged: “I lost dozens of experts to eliminate most of the surviving forces of the Grand Elder, but as soon as the situation is somewhat under control, the Lord actually turns around to blame me? Fine, let everything go to hell.”

“Family Head, please don’t be angry. There must be something strange going on. Why don’t we make a decision after contacting the Lord?”

An Elder stepped forward, speaking with great respect. He knew that the family could not confront the Lord, and if the Family Head continued on this path, the entire family would be buried with him.

However, Gali Mo scoffed coldly and shook his head: “What misunderstanding could there be? Regardless of the Family Head’s intention, he should have at least sent me a message. There was no warning, and suddenly an announcement was made? Now the Lord has become the good guy, while we are despised by everyone.”

At this time, the dozen or so assassins who had been sent out earlier returned, insisting on seeing the Family Head. Gali Mo, already agitated, didn’t want to meet with them, so he directly ordered them to leave. However, these people stubbornly refused, saying they wouldn’t leave until they saw the Family Head.

Gali Mo thought it might be important, so he let the dozen men into the hall to explain the situation. As soon as they met, the men knelt down and recounted every word Logan had spoken since they met him, emphasizing the advantages and disadvantages of the situation.

After hearing the information, Gali Mo remained silent for a long time, trying to digest the truth. When he finally understood everything, he couldn’t help but smack his own head. If it weren’t for Logan’s reminder, he would have been kept in the dark, and the path he had taken would have been disastrous.

Stroking his beard, Gali Mo nodded: “I finally understand why the Lord issued this announcement. He didn’t want to provoke public outrage, so he temporary let me take the fall. As for the Lord’s punishment, it is surely just a symbolic gesture, just need to find a few scapegoats.”

“Well, for the sake of the future of the family and the settlement of this matter, I can only cooperate with the Lord and play along with this act. I just hope that the Lord will be generous, and not abandon me in the end. After all, the biggest beneficiary is the Lord, and I am just a pawn.”

Thus, Gali Mo issued a confession of guilt, admitting his mistake in involving innocent people. At the same time, he randomly picked out a dozen individuals to be handed over to the Lord for punishment.

The storm passed like this. Although people knew that letting the first family off lightly was unfair, they also knew that harsh punishment was impossible. After all, their Family Head, Gali Mo, was at the Dominating Realm, and even the Lord might not be a match for him.

Time flew by, and half a month passed in an instant. Logan’s realm still remained at the Middle-level Transcendent, and the High-ranking Overstep was still far out of reach. However, his realm had stabilized quite a bit during this time, and his retreat hadn’t been a complete waste.

Ba Ke Yun was still in seclusion. Three days later, a terrifying aura floated above his room, causing the sky to become dark and cloudy. The power of the laws enveloped an area of ten miles. Then, a vortex formed in the air, and terrifying divine lightning brewed within it.

Logan frowned and murmured to himself, “Is he going to break through?” Naturally, he hoped that Ba Ke Yun could advance, which would mean he would have a Throne Realm underling, greatly enhancing his own strength and confidence to face any challenges without fear of provocation.

As expected, Ba Ke Yun was indeed attempting to break through, enduring the terrifying Thunder Tribulation. Once he survived these seven thunders, he would ascend to the Throne Realm, becoming a formidable power in the region.

Logan had seen many Throne Realm experts in the ancient ruins, and it seemed like this realm was as common as cabbage and not particularly rare or powerful. However, the reality was quite the opposite: the Dominating Realm was the pinnacle, and the Throne Realm was considered top-tier strength.

The first divine thunder struck, and a protective barrier appeared above Capital City, directly blocking the divine lightning. Logan, being a smart person, immediately realized that this must be the Protective Array of Capital City.

The next moment, another even more terrifying divine thunder struck, once again being blocked by the Protective Array. However, Logan didn’t feel happy at all; instead, he frowned as though unhappy.

The Lord appeared and reassured him: “Don’t worry, this Protective Array was set up by an Array Formation Expert at a high cost in Spirit Stones. It’s enough to withstand the attacks of ten Dominating Realm experts. So don’t worry, your guard will definitely be able to break through to the Throne Realm safely.”

“I have a favor to ask, can you turn off the array for now and turn it back on after the Thunder Tribulation is over? I want Ba Ke Yun to face the tribulation head-on instead of relying on underhanded tactics. It’s meaningless.”

Logan looked at the Lord and pleaded. Although the Protective Array would allow Ba Ke Yun to make a breakthrough, it may not have the same power as a regular Throne Realm expert due to the lack of Thunder Tribulation’s baptism. This also explains why most Throne Realm experts have a strength not matching their name and can’t even win against cultivators of their own level.

Because when every High-ranking Overstep breaks through, they adopt various means to reduce the terrible Thunder Tribulation. However, they seem to have forgotten that aside from its destructive power, the Thunder Tribulation can also cleanse a cultivator’s meridians and help them comprehend the laws.

The Lord hesitated and thought Logan was overdoing it. When he broke through, he also relied on the Protective Array. How could a mere mortal dare to face the Thunder Tribulation head-on? What if they die? Although the Thunder Tribulation can cleanse a person, compared to its dangers, it is insignificant.

Ironically, Logan persisted and said: “If he can’t overcome the Thunder Tribulation, I don’t need a useless subordinate, just let him fall in the tribulation.” Even though it may sound heartless, Logan already gave Ba Ke Yun a Law Dan Medicine, and if he still couldn’t overcome the tribulation, it would be a waste.

“This Protective Array has been in operation for a hundred years, and suddenly turning it off may attract ill-intentioned people. Let me think about it. After all, it’s a crucial matter, and I have to consider it for the sake of Capital City.”

The Lord sighed deeply. Although he wanted to give Logan face, he was still reluctant to turn off the Protective Array. After all, it was the core of the Capital City and provided a sense of security for the Lord.
