Two figures stepped onto the bridge and soon arrived at the top of the pavilion. However, they did not enter the pavilion, but merely stood outside, gazing at Qing Muyuan, who was positioned by the window.
The current emperor of the Qingyun Empire, dressed in a flowing robe with his long hair cascading down his back, exuded 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 full of vigor and spirit.
The woman was Chu Yunzhi, a senior figure from the Chu clan, who had once reached the peak of the Tiangang realm and was now at the early stage of the Wanfa realm.
The man was Xiao Zishu, a formidable elder from the Xiao clan, who had also attained the Wanfa realm.
In the Qingyun Empire, it was widely known that Yun Xingjian was at the Wanfa realm, and it was speculated that Qing Muyuan might be as well. However, the five great clans harbored their own hidden Wanfa cultivators.
Otherwise, how could the five clans negotiate with the imperial family and the Qingyun Academy on equal terms?
Though Chu Yunzhi looked her age, she still possessed an undeniable charm. At that moment, she let out a cold snort. “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 do as we’re told.”
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 with a helpless tone. “This Tiānluó Jiǔgōng Formation can be controlled by Ye Wushuang. If I don’t help her stop your Chu and Xiao clans, she’ll just blow up the royal palace. What am I supposed to do?”
A fifth-grade spiritual formation!
Controlled by Ye Wushuang?
“Don’t spout nonsense here…”
Xiao Zishu was about to curse, but his expression suddenly changed.
The foundation of the royal family was within the palace, and it was true that the royal family had gone to great lengths to construct it. Later, they felt it was still not secure enough, so they invited Ye Wentian, the head of the Ye clan at the time, to help them set up this Tiānluó Jiǔgōng Formation.
This was a fact!
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 arrogant, and he didn’t care about these major 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 tricks.
But now…
Ye Wushuang, a descendant of the Ye clan, could control the Tiānluó Jiǔgōng Formation!
This was truly terrifying to think about!
Did Ye Wentian, back in the day, also consider unexpected situations and deliberately leave such a means to restrain the royal family?
Seeing the realization dawning on the two, Qing Muyuan continued, “I also want to move the foundation of the royal family and dismantle this formation, but if I tamper with it, they can easily make the formation unleash its power.”
“I’m holding a thunderbolt in my hand right 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 Zishu snorted, “Stop trying to deceive us with these words. Even if the Tiānluó Jiǔgōng 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 major clans, so that your royal family can be more secure.”
Qing Muyuan sighed and looked at the two, saying, “Look at you two, so old… You’re supposed to understand the unspoken truth. It’s quite awkward for you to point it out so directly…”
Awkward?
Awkward, my foot!
“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.
At that moment, the formation above them began to shine even more brilliantly.
“Think you can stop us with this formation?” Chu Yunzhi said with contempt. “Go ahead and try. Let’s have a three-way battle within the royal family and see how many of your royal offspring will die!”
