Ye Wushuang smiled, standing with his hands behind his back, and spoke indifferently, “When your father, Emperor Qingtianwen, ascended to the throne five hundred years ago, the Tianluo Jiugong Formation had a major malfunction. No one in your royal family could repair it, and even the fifth-grade spiritual formation master from Qingzhou was unable to fix it!”
“Thus, your father invited Ye Wentian, the head of the Ye Clan at that time, to intervene. Ye Wentian managed to repair it!”
Qing Muyuan immediately added, “Ye Wentian was a man of noble character. He had no interest in the internal strife of the Qingyun Empire, nor did he wish to replace the Qing Clan with the Ye Clan. Otherwise, the royal family of the Qingyun Empire would have changed long ago.”
“This formation is definitely not something Ye Wentian left behind to inform his descendants!”
“Moreover, even if it were left by Ye Wentian, at your current level of the Nadao Realm, you would never be able to control it.”
Ye Wushuang continued, “You don’t need to know how I found out about it.”
“As long as the royal family doesn’t provoke me, I won’t take any action against them.”
“I just want to make it clear that my coming here was not a gamble on whether you would kill me. If you leave me alone, I won’t interfere with you. But if you try to kill me, I won’t hesitate to strike you down first.”
Qing Muyuan’s brow flickered.
As the emperor of the Qingyun Empire, he was undoubtedly the most powerful figure in the entire realm. It had been a long time since anyone had dared to speak to him in such a manner.
“Do you truly have the ability to control this formation?”
Qing Muyuan asked again.
“Let’s see,” Ye Wushuang smiled. “You can make a move against me!”
Qing Muyuan’s expression remained calm, but as he clenched his palm, a hurricane roared within the grand hall, transforming into blades of wind that tore through the air with a crackling sound, heading straight for Ye Wushuang.
Ye Wushuang smiled indifferently and clenched his palm.
In an instant,
Nine palatial structures emerged from the ground around his body, with beams of light soaring into the sky from within each palace.
The blades of wind struck the light and instantly dissipated, turning into ashes that vanished into thin air.
Even more astonishingly, within the radiance of those nine palaces, a long sword coalesced and struck directly at Qing Muyuan.
Seeing this, Qing Muyuan did not hesitate. He clenched his hands, and streams of spiritual energy surged towards the sword.
Boom…
The hall erupted in a thunderous roar.
Even the ceiling was blasted open.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Immediately, dozens of elite imperial guards from all directions rushed in, surrounding the hall completely.
“What’s going on?”
Several figures burst into the hall.
Leading them was Qing Shanya.
They had been waiting outside when they sensed something amiss within the hall, followed by the outbreak of a fight.
Only upon entering did they see that the ceiling had been torn off.
Had they… started fighting?
The emperor and Ye Wushuang?
That couldn’t be possible!
The emperor’s power was unmatched, while Ye Wushuang was still far behind in strength.
How could they possibly engage in combat?
“Hahaha…”
Qing Muyuan stood up from the throne, laughing heartily. “It’s nothing, nothing at all. I was just testing Ye Wushuang’s abilities…”
Mù Qīqī and Qīng Shīyǔ, who had followed behind, were also stunned.
Despite being their uncle and uncle by marriage, Qing Muyuan was the emperor, a figure in the Qingyun Empire comparable to the Nebula Sword in status!
Ye Wushuang had fought with the emperor?
Was he not afraid of death?
“Everyone, disperse, disperse!”
The figures of the elite guards immediately retreated in all directions.
Qing Muyuan looked at Ye Wushuang and said with a smile, “Ye Wushuang, you have great talent. With you, the Ye Clan will not perish. I look forward to seeing you lead the current Ye family to the level of the Ye Clan of old!”
“I will,” Ye Wushuang replied with a smile. “Since there’s nothing more to discuss, I’ll take my leave. My mother and my uncle must be worried that the emperor might kill me.”
“Alright.”
Qing Muyuan added, “Qīqī, Shīyǔ, you two see Ye Wushuang back.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The two of them, still puzzled, escorted Ye Wushuang away.
Only then did Qing Shanya and Qing Mengli turn to look at Qing Muyuan.
“Your Majesty…”
Qing Muyuan waved his hand and said, “Fourth sister…”
“Hmm?”
“I remember you mentioned that this young man could save Mù Jūnlí, right?”
“Yes.”
Qing Muyuan continued, “Then the Qingyun Pavilion should provide more convenience for him. Since you have people protecting him, there’s no need to follow him too closely. Maintain a proper distance.”
“I understand.”
Qing Muyuan looked at Qing Shanya and Qing Mengli and said, “This young man is sixteen years old this year, isn’t he? Perhaps he truly has the potential to become the second Ye Wentian.”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Qing Shanya and Qing Mengli changed slightly.
Such an evaluation was exceedingly high.
After all, Ye Wentian of the past was unparalleled and truly remarkable. Everyone admired him and felt a sense of awe.
But the next words from Qing Muyuan left the two of them completely astounded…
