The colossal sword descended from the heavens, and Ye Wushuang looked up. At that moment, Chi Yuan had already positioned himself in front of Ye Wushuang, his eight wings unfurled, creating a howling storm that swept across the heavens and the earth.
**Rumble…**
Blades of furious wind clashed with the giant sword, causing the entire subterranean palace to tremble violently, as if on the verge of collapsing. Everyone struggled to maintain their balance, their figures swaying precariously.
Li Changqing and Feng Luochen also looked up, their eyes filled with astonishment. Above them, five figures stood, each exuding an overwhelmingly terrifying aura.
Even Tang Chuyi, Qing Shihua, and the others were left agape. These were the five senior councilors of Qingyun Academy, representing the will of the Five Great Clans:
Qin Beixiu!
Chu Anxun!
Shang Lihen!
Liu Qingzi!
Xiao Linxuan!
Qingyun Academy, the empire’s premier institution, had deep roots. At its helm was the academy’s president, Yun Xingjian. The four vice-presidents—Mu Yunxuan, Baili Moxuan, Feng Luochen, and Li Changqing—overseen various affairs within the academy. In addition, there were the renowned seven senior councilors, the master of Qingyun Spirit-Dan Pavilion, Nie Jinxiuan, the master of Qingyun Spirit-Weapon Pavilion, Wen Runyu, the master of Qingyun Spirit-Array Pavilion, Zhang Ziyin, and the master of Qingyun Enforcement Pavilion, Fa Wuque. These sixteen individuals were the strongest beings within Qingyun Academy.
Now, the five senior councilors, representing the Five Great Clans, had arrived together. It seemed this matter was far from over.
The five powerful warriors, all at high tiers of the Tiangang Realm, stood in the sky, their expressions cold as they looked down at Ye Wushuang.
“Lord Python!” Elder Qin Beixiu, a core member of the Qin clan and one of the seven senior councilors of Qingyun Academy, spoke coldly, “To protect this Ye Wushuang, are you truly willing to become the enemy of the entire world of the Five Great Clans?”
Chi Yuan merely exhaled two streams of white mist from his nostrils, a gesture of disdain, and did not respond.
Qin Beixiu, being one of the most senior members of the Qin clan and the eldest among the senior councilors, now turned his gaze towards the group of Ye clan members.
“Today, we can spare Ye Wushuang, but… Ye Yunzhe must die!” Qin Beixiu looked at Chi Yuan again and said, “This is already a concession on our part. If you do not agree, even you alone cannot protect Ye Wushuang.”
Chi Yuan’s eyes blazed with fury. A few high-tier Tiangang warriors dared to threaten him!
However, Qin Beixiu remained unafraid and said coldly, “Lord Python, do not forget how your wife was severely injured!”
“In the territory of Qingyun Empire, perhaps only the Nebula Sword can match you, but… Qingzhou is vast!”
This was a blatant threat!
“*Heh heh*…”
At that moment, a calm and composed chuckle echoed through the void.
“Qin Beixiu, don’t be so overconfident in your words!” a calm voice rang out, “Matters within the Qingyun Empire should naturally be resolved within the Qingyun Empire…”
“Father!”
“Father!”
Qing Shihua and Qing Siyu’s eyes focused on the leading figure among the newly arrived group. It was none other than the Marquis of Zhen Mountain, Qing Shanya, of the Qingyun Empire.
Why was Qing Shanya here?
Qin Beixiu and the others raised their eyebrows in surprise. Unbeknownst to them, the situation within the Qingyun Empire had subtly shifted due to Ye Wushuang’s emergence.
Standing on either side of Qing Shanya were two other distinguished individuals.
“Marquis of Zhen Mountain!”
“Marquis of Zhen Sea!”
“Princess!”
Qin Beixiu’s tone turned hostile as he addressed the three figures. The Marquis of Zhen Mountain, Qing Shanya, the Marquis of Zhen Sea, Qing Pengzheng, and the Princess… who was also the head of the Qingchen Pavilion, Qing Mengli. These three were the representatives of the royal family and the left and right arms of the current emperor, Qing Muyuan.
However, the reason for their presence here was a mystery to Qin Beixiu, Chu Anxun, and the others.
