“Hold on for a while?” Qing Xian’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Ye Wushuang had other helpers?
However, Qing Xian didn’t ponder further. His sole mission was to protect Ye Wushuang with all his might. If it proved impossible, there was nothing more he could do.
At that moment, Shang Muzhong and Shang Ruxue were astonished to see that Qing Mengli had dispatched her own personal servant to safeguard Ye Wushuang. Ever since the Shang clan’s last failed attempt to assassinate Ye Wushuang in collaboration with the other four great clans, they had been meticulously planning for this day. They had anticipated that Qingyun Pavilion would have Heavenly Gang realm protectors secretly watching over Ye Wushuang, which was why they had assembled three to four dozen Heavenly Gang realm cultivators to encircle and kill him. In reality, these cultivators were primarily intended to counter any strong opponents from Qingyun Pavilion.
Fortunately, both Shang Muzhong and Shang Ruxue were seventh-level Heavenly Gang realm experts. Otherwise, with Ye He at the seventh level of the Heavenly Gang realm and Qing Xian also at the same level, their plan would have undoubtedly failed.
“Qing Xian, you must think this through!” Shang Muzhong shouted. “Our clan is determined to kill Ye Wushuang this time!”
How detestable! Qing Xian, being a seventh-level Heavenly Gang realm cultivator himself, along with more than ten other Heavenly Gang realm experts, made it nearly impossible for the Shang clan to swiftly eliminate Ye Wushuang.
But who could possibly come to their aid? Qing Muyuan? Yun Xingjian? Would these two figures truly risk a complete falling out with the Shang clan over Ye Wushuang?
Regardless, the priority was to act immediately!
At that moment, Ye Wushuang spoke up: “Senior Qing Xian, leave Shang Muzhong and Shang Ruxue to He Bo. You just assist these Heavenly Gang realm experts from Qingyun Pavilion in fending off the Shang clan’s strong opponents.”
“As for the Yuanfu realm… I’ll handle it myself!”
Upon hearing this, Qing Xian was taken aback. First, could Ye He, who was by Ye Wushuang’s side, really hold off Shang Muzhong and Shang Ruxue, both at the seventh level? Second, could Ye Wushuang alone contend with hundreds of Yuanfu realm cultivators?
“Master Ye…” Qing Xian began, “These are the Shang clan’s elite…”
“I know,” Ye Wushuang replied, looking at the many figures around him. “But we have no choice!”
At that moment, Shang Muzhong and Shang Ruxue were furious. Ye Wushuang’s words were a grave insult to them.
Without waiting for a response from Shang Gufeng, Shang Muzhong immediately charged forward, shouting, “Kill!”
The two of them launched their attack without any delay.
He Bo wasted no time either, leaping into the air to confront them. Three seventh-level Heavenly Gang realm cultivators began their aerial battle.
Qing Xian had no more words to say. Since Ye Wushuang had spoken, he would follow through. With a wave of his hand, more than ten early-stage Heavenly Gang realm experts from Qingyun Pavilion charged into the fray.
Though outnumbered by the Shang clan’s three to four dozen early- and mid-stage Heavenly Gang realm cultivators, they could hold their ground with Qing Xian, a seventh-level Heavenly Gang realm powerhouse, anchoring their defense.
Ye Wushuang turned to Qing Shiyu and said, “Protect my sister.”
As a princess, Qing Shiyu had come with Prince Qing Yan and was accompanied by more than ten Yuanfu realm cultivators and several Heavenly Gang realm experts.
Qing Shiyu promptly took Ye Feifei away.
“Big brother…” Ye Feifei hesitated.
“Don’t worry,” Ye Wushuang smiled. “Everything will be fine.”
Ye Feifei nodded.
Just then, as Ye Feifei was leaving, Ye Wushuang suddenly called out, “Feifei…”
“Hmm?” Ye Feifei turned around quickly, looking at her brother.
“Congratulations on winning the contest,” Ye Wushuang said.
Hearing this, Ye Feifei nodded excitedly.
On the arena, Liu Yingyue, Xiao Ruonan, and Shang Gufeng were all eyeing Ye Wushuang like hungry tigers.
Meanwhile, hundreds of Shang clan Yuanfu realm martial artists surrounded the arena.
Qing Shiyu, with Ye Feifei and Prince Qing Yan in tow, moved away from the battlefield under the protection of more than a dozen royal guards.
For the moment, everyone’s primary goal was to kill Ye Wushuang, so no one paid attention to Ye Feifei.
However, Qing Shiyu remained vigilant.
“Commander Ying!”
“Your Highness?” A heavily-armored Heavenly Gang realm expert bowed.
“Has the message been sent out?”
Upon hearing this, Ying’s expression turned grim. “Your Highness, the Yuanjin Formation seals all leakage of spiritual energy. Nothing can get in or out. It is the strongest formation known in our empire.”
Fourteen Heavenly Gang realm cultivators, ranging from mid- to late-stage, had spent seven days and seven nights setting up the formation, which was a testament to the Yuanjin Formation’s power. The Shang clan was determined to kill Ye Wushuang within this formation, at any cost.
