As the Sky Emperor neared the entrance, he turned his face around to peak at the situation behind him. Seeing Xi Meiying not chasing him, he felt uneasy. Nevertheless, it would be in his best interests to kill her as soon as possible. Since she is as powerful as him, a peak Grand Qi Stage in the Mid Emperor Qi Stage, how strong would she be when she was his level?!
That was something he didn't want to imagine. Given the forces he brought with him, it would just be moths to a flame. As to not leave the Sky Society undefended, he left the Sky Society's top experts, The Six Saints of the Sky to remain and protect the Society in his absence.
The Six Saints of the Sky were early stage Grand Qi Practitioners mixed in with half-step Grand Qi Stage practitioners. Although Xi Meiying was strong, she wouldn't survive an onslaught of such a force… or at least he didn't believe so. The Xi Clan was of no help to her, but even if they did express desires to support their clan genius, only casualties would await them. He had to quickly gather his forces before other major factions caught wind of a person possessing a God Inheritance.
The Sky Emperor was awoken out of his thoughts as he saw the same double doors he came in from. Finally stepping outside, he laughed in relief. Feeling the agonizing pain from his missing rib and arm, he coughed up blood. He immediately took out his teleportation talisman and disappeared.

"Meiying, I was forced to do this. Should you not have fended him off, he would've destroyed our clan!"
"Ahahahaha!"
Xi Meiying chuckled. Her eyes excited but also containing hidden fury. The Goddess of Blood narrowed her eyes as she sensed spatial fluctuations.
'The Sky Emperor has just used a talisman to escape'
Xi Meiying stopped chuckling as a wide smile appeared on her lips.
'Of course Mother~ It wouldn't be fun if only the Sky Emperor died, would it?'
The Goddess of Blood laughed in agreement.
'Of course, just be careful not to over due it, it is easy to get lost in pleasure.'
'That's why your here, mother'
Xi Meiying then refocused her attention to her 'master' in front of her.
"Kneel"
The Grand Patriarch felt suffocated. He muscles instantly froze up as he collapsed to the ground. His eyes were bulging, tiny red veins could be seen. He tried to kneel but couldn't.
"A servant who can't even follow orders is even worse than the dogs that the Sky Emperor named you. You no longer need eyes which failed to recognize the foolishness of your tricks."
The Grand Patriarchs eyes exploded, creating two holes of blood in his eye sockets. He screamed but couldn't move as his muscles weren't responding to him.
"P-Please… I had no other-ah"
Xi Meiying shoved her hand into his mouth, pouring her boiling blood down his throat, burning his vocal cords.
"I understand, I understand, I'll allow you to make amends."
She ignored her shaking 'master' as she looked over to the groaning patriarch who was lying on the floor.
She walked slowly to him, grabbing him by the hair and lifting his head up.
"Hey~ do you want to live?"
The patriarch looked up at her in fear, disregarding the blood that was eating away at his body, he responded.
"Y-y-es… please, ah, let me… live…"
Xi Meiying smiled at his response. She turned around and walked towards the mute Grand Patriarch. Dragging him by his arm, she brought him next to him.
"Eat him"
"W-what!?.. *cough* *cough*"
She smiled eerily. Reaching her hand towards the patriarchs chest, she dug her nail as she wrote a word. The patriarch screamed until she stopped. She looked at the wording smiling with love. I'm sure you could guess what she wrote.
She then poured blood in the open wound, which started eating away at his flesh from both the inside and outside.
"What did you say?"
"Ahhh, I'll eat… I'll AHHHH"
Xi Meiying laughed as she brought the Grand Patriarchs head to his mouth.
"Enjoy~"
The patriarch was shaking in both fright and disgust as he brought his former masters arm to his mouth. He opened his mouth, hovering over the arm as if contemplating. All of a sudden, Xi Meiying pushed down on his head, forcing him to bite a chunk of his flesh.
"Ugh!"
The patriarch vomited the flesh of the Grand Patriarch as he felt blood invade his taste buds.
"Nuh-uh, you have to eat it all~"
She forced his head down where he just vomited, forcing him to eat it. She laughed at the patriarchs expression as she turned around to leave.
"Make sure you finish before I return, or all you efforts would be for nothing."
She turned around to walk towards the entrance.
"And don't try to escape from this plane, I know all that happens here."
The patriarch looked at Xi Meiying as he collapsed shaking on the ground. Xi Meiying paid no mind to him as she continued forward.
"I'm coming, Heji~"

Sky Society, Region of Wind, Great Province of Gek'hial.
A teleportation array lit up. Blue runes shone in a grand hall.
Appearing as the runes faded, an old man collapsed to the ground, blood heavily oozing out of his chest area.
Immediately, six powerful presences appeared in the room.
"""Emperor!!!"""
"Gawk!"
The Emperor spat out blood. Shaking as he forced words out of his mouth.
"Go… go to the Xi Clan. Round up.. all the sky *cough* elders. Kill them… kill them ALL! *cough*"
The Sky Emperor fainted.
The 6 people in the room had worried expressions on their face as they talked to each other. Rushing to support their unconscious emperor.
"Who would dare attack our Emperor!?" One of the people said.
"Do they think the Sky Society is so easy to bully!?" Said another.
"Whoever did this to our emperor must be strong… take the Sky Emperor to the healing array, as soon as he is healed, we will destroy the Xi Clan!" A women in blue cursed.
After the ranting of the five people, the sixth, who remained quiet, stepped out.
"The enemy may not be the Xi Clan, but a person backing them. We have to act carefully, we will ask for more information when the Emperor awakens."
"We shall do that then" one expressed in agreement.
"Rally up our elders no matter what they are doing, the Emperors orders take priority!" The one seemingly in command said.
"""Yes!""""
