The three figures at the forefront exuded an overwhelming aura of power.
King of the Mountains, Qing Shanya!
King of the Seas, Qing Pengzheng!
And… the Imperial Princess and the head of the Qingyun Pavilion, Qing Mengli!
The three of them strode forward, facing Chu Gongyao and Xiao Qingge.
“Qing Shanya, what does the royal family mean by this?” Chu Gongyao asked coldly, “The Dark Soul Hall is about to attack the Shang clan. Our two clans are going to assist them. Why is the royal family blocking all the key routes? Are you helping Ye Wushuang?”
Listening to Chu Gongyao’s furious and cold accusation, Qing Shanya couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile.
“Clan Leader Chu, you’ve misunderstood!”
Qing Shanya chuckled and said, “We are not here to block your way.”
“Actually, last night, more than a dozen Tiangang realm cultivators dared to break into the palace and kidnapped seven of my brother’s concubines!”
“This is utterly outrageous. To dare to kidnap the women of the current emperor is an act of extreme audacity. The emperor is furious. After an investigation, it was found that the seven kidnapped concubines are somewhere in the nearby marketplaces!”
“You know how much my brother cares about women. He immediately ordered ten thousand Imperial Guards to surround these marketplaces, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving!”
At this moment, Qing Mengli also spoke up, “Similarly, last night, someone infiltrated the Qingyun Pavilion and stole seven fifth-grade spiritual pills from us.”
Kidnapping concubines?
Stealing spiritual pills?
What a load of nonsense!
Chu Gongyao suppressed his anger and sneered, “There is a fifth-grade spiritual array in the palace. How could Tiangang realm cultivators enter and escape without being detected by the Imperial Guards?”
Qing Shanya quickly explained, “The array had a malfunction last night and was under repair, which the intruders took advantage of!”
“Alright, alright, alright!”
Chu Gongyao looked at Qing Mengli coldly and snorted, “Your Qingyun Pavilion is located in the central district. Not to mention whether there are any fifth-grade spiritual pills in the Qingyun Pavilion, even if there are… did the thief just happen to run to the marketplace where the Shang clan is located after stealing the pills?”
Qing Mengli nodded very seriously.
Chu Gongyao and Xiao Qingge were both furious at this point!
It was clear that the royal family was blocking their way for Ye Wushuang!
“Qing Shanya, Qing Mengli, Qing Pengzheng, what if we force our way through?” Xiao Qingge asked coldly.
“Oh dear, that would be quite a problem!” Qing Shanya rubbed his hands together and said, “The emperor’s decree has already been issued. Today, anyone who tries to enter or leave the marketplace by force will be executed without mercy!”
Upon hearing this, the faces of the two clan leaders darkened even further.
Among the ten thousand Imperial Guards were over a hundred Tiangang realm cultivators and nearly a thousand Yuanfu realm cultivators—no small force!
And…
The hundred Qingwei members were the most terrifying of all!
Damn it!
The royal family was clearly helping Ye Wushuang.
All this talk about kidnapped concubines and stolen spiritual pills was nothing but a farce!
But…
Where were Qin Tarri and Liu Zhengzong?
What were those two up to?
If all four great clans acted together, even the royal family wouldn’t be able to stop them.
If the royal family was determined to help Ye Wushuang, then let’s fight—four great clans against the royal family, they could definitely win!
But where were the people from those two clans now?
At this moment, within the Imperial Palace of the Qingyun Empire, two figures suddenly broke through the air and arrived.
The two figures entered the palace undetected, as if no one had noticed them.
However, the moment they set foot in the palace grounds, a burst of light rose from above the vast palace. The light intertwined and formed nine palace-like structures, enveloping the sky above.
The two companions’ expressions turned serious.
One of the men, a man, coldly snorted, “What? Qing Muyuan, do you even want to kill the two of us?”
From the top of a nine-story pavilion deep within the palace, Qing Muyuan laughed and said, “Welcome, esteemed guests. I’m just entertaining you!”
With a wave of his hand, streams of spiritual energy poured out, forming a bridge that spanned over ten miles and extended to the feet of the two figures.
“Please,” he invited.
The two exchanged glances and stepped directly onto the bridge made of condensed spiritual energy…
