After returning to the Angel Realm, Michael gathered all angels in the great hall. He told them all the information he got from Ling Yun yesterday, especially about the agreement between Lucifer and Travis.

Gabriel then asked him. "Where did you get all that information?"

"I have a reliable source, and he gets all that information from Travis's people," Michael answered as he turned to him. "Besides, he also has a few spies in the Demon Realm, and he will contact me again once he has more definite information about them."

"Why did you hide that person's identity from us?" Raphael asked with a frown, for it was unusual for Michael to be so secretive.

"If I told you that person's identity, I'm sure you wouldn't believe me," Michael answered with a low sigh, making the Archangels frown.

Suddenly, an angel flew into the room, but his appearance was so messy even his body was covered with wounds, and he then said to them. "Of course, Michael won't tell you that person's identity because he is a human and is also in a relationship with Mariel."

"What?" They cried out in shock, then looked at Michael with questioning looks.

'Damn it!' Michael cursed in his heart, for he had no intention of revealing Ling Yun's identity to them, especially since their situation was too dire, so he didn't want any commotion between them.

Sophie and Aurora's faces darkened upon hearing that. Yet, they couldn't do anything for now, especially the other six Archangels present among them.

On the other hand, Glacia and Malachi smiled happily when they saw the angel's arrival. 'Hahaha! Raguel came at the right time! This way, we can take Mariel down quickly.'

Those Archangels looked around for Mariel but couldn't find her among them.

Barachiel frowned and asked Raguel. "What do you mean by that?"

Raguel didn't answer her question, and he instead asked Michael. "Are you still not going to tell them the truth? You even allowed Mariel to violate the rules of our realm."

"Is that true, Michael?" Raphael asked him with a serious look, for the matter was really serious if Mariel had a relationship with a human.

Michael took a deep breath and finally told them. "My source name is Ling Yun, and he is a cultivator."

"Are you kidding us?" Those Archangels looked at Michael with angry looks.

One of them, Camael, then asked Michael. "Why do you trust that human so much?"

Michael sighed softly. "You guys have already seen Lucifer trying to capture me before. If Ling Yun had not informed me about the matter, I would have fallen into my brother's hands by now. So what's wrong with me believing in him?"

"Then why did you allow Mariel to have a relationship with him?" One of the Archangels named Jophiel asked him.

Before Michael could answer her, Uriel had already spoken. "You guys better calm down. After all, he's the wisest among us, so I'm sure he has some reason to let Mariel have a relationship with that human."

Raguel, Glacia, and Malachi frowned upon hearing that. However, they didn't dare argue with Uriel, especially since he was the Angel of Wisdom.

"What made you decide to let Mariel be with him, Michael?" Uriel asked him.

"You're right, Uriel. I do have some reasons for agreeing to their relationship." Michael paused momentarily, looked at them individually, then asked them back. "Have you ever heard of a human who could go to all three realms without going through those portals?"

"What?"

Uriel raised his eyebrows. "You mean Ling Yun can enter our realm without going through the portal in the Brilliant Gate?"

Michael nodded at him. "Some time ago, I sensed that someone had trespassed this realm, but his aura suddenly disappeared before I could track him down. However, after I met Ling Yun, I was sure he was the culprit, but he didn't do anything here."

They looked at Michael seriously, for no one had ever trespassed their realm, and they had to go through the portal.

Michael then said to them again. "Moreover, Ling Yun can communicate with Mariel easily, even though he is in the human realm."

"Eh?" They were utterly shocked to hear that, for they had never heard of humans or angels being able to communicate directly between the two realms. But Michael told them that Ling Yun could do such a thing, which was extremely absurd to them.

Raguel and Malachi were also shocked to hear that. But on the other hand, Glacia trembled after hearing Michael's words, especially since she had already experienced Ling Yun's abilities by herself. Yet, she didn't dare to say anything to them.

Meanwhile, Sophie was relieved, for Michael didn't mention her name, or the situation would have worsened.

"Besides, Ling Yun can also communicate with Travis and Lucifer's people freely, but he has no relation to them." They were even more shocked after hearing that, and Michael hurriedly explained again. "However, he already enslaved Lucian because his men had killed one of his women, so he used him to spy on Lucifer and the others."

'Tch!' Raguel gritted his teeth upon hearing that; he did not expect that Ling Yun had such absurd abilities to travel and communicate with the other three realms.

Michael sighed softly. "Now you understand why I decided to cooperate with Ling Yun, right? As for Mariel, he has been attracted to her since they first met, and he wanted her as a condition of our cooperation."

"But-"

Michael immediately interrupted Jophiel. "Moreover, there is someone powerful on Ling Yun's side. That person can easily destroy all realms, and not even our higher-ups can stop that person."

"Are you serious?"

"Does it look like I'm joking with you guys?" Michael asked with a solemn look. "I've met that person myself, but I can't gauge the depth of that person's strength, and you certainly know what that means, right?"

The six Archangels nodded to him. After all, Michael was the strongest among them; if he couldn't sense the depth of the power of the person he was referring to, that meant that person was indeed much stronger than him, let alone them.

Michael then looked at Raguel. "Instead of taking care of Mariel's issues, you should be prepared to face your punishment."

"What do you mean by that?" Raguel asked with a frown.

Michael shook his head and answered him. "I sent you to meet Travis to build good relations with him, but you ignored my orders and fought with Lucifer's emissary instead. Ultimately, he decided to cooperate with him, which became a big loss for us."

Raguel froze upon hearing that, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead. At first, he thought Michael wouldn't know about it, and he had prepared various excuses for him. 'Shit! It must be that Ling Yun told him about it!'

"Do you have a reason for your failure?" Michael asked as he glared fiercely at Raguel, causing him to tremble in fear.

Seeing Raguel like that, Michael then turned to the other Archangels. "What do you guys think? What is the appropriate punishment for his failure? Because of his actions, we will all face grave dangers in the future."

While the five Archangels were thinking about the appropriate punishment for Raguel's failure, Uriel suddenly said to him. "Michael, I think we can punish him by demoting him, and we don't need to do much more than that."

In the end, the other Archangels agreed with Uriel, and Michael agreed with his opinion. "All right, I will follow your words, and from today Raguel's status is lowered to that of an ordinary angel."

"No!" Raguel shouted at him, primarily because he had worked hard to reach his current status. "I object! This is my first mistake, but why did you immediately demote my status?"

"Because your mistake is too fatal, Raguel," Uriel answered him with a sigh. "We are now preparing for a war with Travis and Lucifer, and the source is your failure to form good relations with him, which made him decide to cooperate with the demons."

"But-"

"No buts!" Michael then stretched out his hand; some golden light shot out from Raguel's body towards him, and he immediately destroyed them. "If you still can't accept my decision, I will impose a more severe punishment on you by taking away your angelic powers. And I will banish you to the human realm."

Raguel trembled upon hearing that and didn't dare open his mouth to refute Michael. Such a punishment was too cruel for him, and he became no different from a human if he lost his angelic powers.

After that, Michael asked the ordinary angels to leave the place, and he discussed with the other Archangels to devise their next plan.

Meanwhile, Raguel continued to curse angrily. "Fuck! I will definitely kill that human named Ling Yun!"

"Are you sure you can do it, Raguel?" Glacia asked as she walked following behind him. "As you have heard, there is a powerful cultivator by Ling Yun's side, and your strength has already fallen by half."

Raguel turned and glared at Glacia. "Do you know Ling Yun's location?"

"I don't know," Glacia answered with a shake of her head. "However, I might be able to use someone to find out his location from Sophie."

"That's good." Raguel nodded to her. "In that case, you do it quickly and tell me as soon as possible."

"All right."
