“Even though the Tianji Mansion is a giant in Qingzhou, we in the Qingyun Empire will not tolerate such trampling!” Tang Chuyi was extremely furious. Upon receiving reports from his disciples about the discovery of this place, he felt a chill run down his spine.
No wonder over the years, many outstanding prodigies from the Qingyun Academy had vanished without a trace after entering the Qingyun Mountains for training. These bastards from the Tianji Mansion had not only captured the children of the five great families for their research but also abducted those exceptional prodigies for their own convenience. It was as if they had completely treated the Qingyun Empire as their own backyard!
Li Cun sneered, “Tang Chuyi, you’re overestimating your Qingyun Empire!”
“It’s just a matter of capturing some children from the great families of your empire for a bit of research. What’s the big deal?”
“Now that the underground palace has been exposed and you’ve come here with such a grand display, are you planning to openly confront the Tianji Mansion?”
“Let me give you some advice: think about the consequences!”
Li Cun was not afraid at all. With the Tianji Mansion backing him, he had never been worried about conducting secret research on Qingyun Empire’s warriors. The only concern was that it might tarnish the reputation of the Tianji Mansion if the news spread. But now that the secret was out, there was no need to hide anymore.
“Consequences?”
Tang Chuyi, known for his hot temper, could not bear to hear such words. “I’ll be damned if I care about any consequences!”
With a roar, a terrifying surge of spiritual energy erupted from within Tang Chuyi, launching a direct attack at Li Cun.
Chu Mingjie, Qin Lizhe, and the other top elders of the Inner Court didn’t hesitate either. Although they had their differences with Tang Chuyi, they could not stand idly by while their own children were being used as subjects for research. The battle began immediately, with the ten elders of the Inner Court leading a group of disciples at the Yuanfu and Ningmai realms, charging towards the Tianji Mansion disciples inside the underground palace.
At the same time, in another place, within the Qingtian Mountains, more than a dozen figures were flying through the air at an incredible speed. They stopped atop a high mountain.
“Elder Wang!”
A middle-aged man, panting heavily, said, “Let’s take a break. Everyone is exhausted from the journey!”
“No time for rest!”
Wang Jianmu, dressed in a dark green robe and looking quite healthy, said urgently, “If we stop any longer, my centuries of hard work will be ruined!”
The man continued, “With Elder Li Cun there, everything will be fine!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Jianmu suddenly froze. He then took out a square, ancient mirror from his bosom. The mirror began to display the scenes inside the Tianzi Secret Palace. The moments when Ye Wushuang and his group entered the first to the fifth levels were all replayed within the mirror.
Wang Jianmu’s face turned green with fury as he watched. “Who is this bastard? He actually managed to break through the restrictions I left behind!”
When he saw Ye Wushuang allowing dozens of Ye clan members to sit by the blood pool and absorb pure vital energy, Wang Jianmu’s breathing became rapid.
“This bastard, this bastard! That Spirit Blood Pool is the purest vital energy I’ve refined over three hundred years, ahhhh…”
When Ye Wushuang took control of the four puppets, Wang Jianmu clutched his heart, his forehead beaded with sweat.
“The puppets… the puppets… I spent three hundred years, day and night, nurturing them with my own blood, combined with materials like Wuling Gold, Mo Yu Cold Iron, and Lengxue Stone, among dozens of other heavenly metals and stones…”
“How did this bastard manage to do this…”
Wang Jianmu could no longer bear it. His centuries of hard work were now being unraveled step by step by a mere Yuanfu realm youth.
“Move out!”
Wang Jianmu roared, “Back to the underground palace, immediately, right now! Everyone, take out your life-saving pills and swallow them. Get back to the underground palace at once! If the palace is lost, I’ll execute all of you!”
With a roar, Wang Jianmu’s figure turned into a streak of light and vanished from the spot. The others, too frightened to breathe heavily, followed immediately.
They had never seen Elder Wang in such a rage. This time, that young man had clearly provoked Elder Wang beyond measure!
