The two figures stepped onto the bridge and swiftly arrived atop the pavilion. However, they did not enter the pavilion itself. Instead, they stood outside, gazing at Qing Muyuan, who was positioned by the window.
This man, the current Emperor of the Qingyun Empire, was dressed in a long robe with his hair cascading loosely over his shoulders, exuding an air of utmost casualness.
“Long time no see, you two!” Qing Muyuan said with a cheerful smile.
The two individuals before him, a man and a woman, both appeared to be in their fifties, yet they were brimming with vitality and spirit.
The woman was Chu Yunzhi, a senior figure from the Chu clan. Once at the peak of the Tiangang realm, she had now reached the early stage of the Wanfa realm. The man was Xiao Zishi, a formidable elder from the Xiao clan, who had also attained the Wanfa realm.
In the Qingyun Empire, the outside world was only aware that Yun Xingjian was at the Wanfa realm and speculated that Qing Muyuan might be as well. However, within the Five Great Clans, there were hidden figures at the Wanfa realm. Otherwise, how could the Five Clans negotiate with the imperial family and the Qingyun Academy?
Though Chu Yunzhi looked her age, she still possessed an extraordinary charm. At this moment, she snorted coldly, “Qing Muyuan, what does the royal family mean by this?”
Qing Muyuan replied with a smile, “Nothing much. We’ve been caught by the throat, so of course we have to listen to them.”
Caught by the throat?
By Ye Wushuang?
Don’t be ridiculous!
Chu Yunzhi sneered, “Qing Muyuan, is it interesting to play these mind games with us?”
“I’m not playing any games, really…” Qing Muyuan said helplessly. “This Tianluo Jiugong Formation can be controlled by Ye Wushuang. If I don’t help block your Chu and Xiao clans, she’ll just blow up my entire palace. What am I supposed to do?”
A fifth-level spiritual formation!
Controlled by Ye Wushuang?
“Don’t spout nonsense here…”
Xiao Zishi was about to curse when his expression suddenly changed. The foundation of the royal family lay within the palace, which had been meticulously crafted by the imperial family. Later, they had deemed it still not secure enough and had invited Ye Wentian, the head of the Ye clan at the time, to help them set up this Tianluo Jiugong Formation. This was true!
At that time, everyone knew that Ye Wentian had no intention of making the Ye clan the royal family of the Qingyun Empire. They also knew that Ye Wentian was powerful and proud, and he didn’t care about these great clans at all. Therefore, the royal family trusted him. If he wanted to destroy the royal family, he could do it himself. There was no need to play mind games.
But now…
Ye Wushuang, a descendant of the Ye clan, could control the Tianluo Jiugong Formation! It was truly terrifying to think about.
Had Ye Wentian, back in the day, also considered the possibility of unexpected situations and deliberately left such a means to restrain the royal family?
Seeing the realization dawn on the two, Qing Muyuan continued, “I’d like to move the foundation of the royal family away and dismantle this formation, but if I tamper with it, they can instantly unleash its power.”
“I’m holding a thunderbolt in my hand now. I can’t throw it away, and I can’t hold on to it either. I’m in a dilemma, completely at their mercy!”
Xiao Zishi snorted, “Stop trying to deceive us with these words. Even if the Tianluo Jiugong Formation is controlled by Ye Wushuang, does your royal family have no other options?”
“Ultimately, you also hope that Ye Wushuang will destroy the Shang clan and weaken the power of our Five Great Clans, so that your royal family can be more stable.”
Qing Muyuan sighed and looked at the two, saying, “Look at you two, so old… You’re supposed to see through things without saying them out loud. It’s quite awkward for me when you point it out so directly…”
Awkward?
What a joke!
“The Shang clan will not be destroyed!”
Chu Yunzhi snorted, “We will not allow it. Qing Muyuan, you can’t stop us!”
With that, the two turned to leave. But at that moment, the formation above them shone even more brilliantly.
“Want to use this formation to stop us?” Chu Yunzhi said with contempt. “Go ahead and try. Let’s have a three-way battle within the royal palace and see how many of your royal offspring will die!”
