In the capital!
Amidst a bustling market district.
Throughout the Qingyun Empire, market districts are dotted with grand pavilions and palaces, numerous shops, and vendors lining the streets with their wares. However, today, as the midday sun casts its rays, an unsettling silence envelops this particular market district. This entire area is occupied by the residence of one of the Five Great Clans—the Shang Clan.
The Shang Mansion!
The protective formation above has already been activated, with third-grade, second-grade, and first-grade spiritual formations working in tandem to create an impenetrable barrier. Even cultivators at the peak of the Tiangang realm would find it difficult to breach this formation.
Within the Shang Mansion, the gardens and pavilions are exquisitely arranged, a testament to opulence and grandeur. The nine gates of the mansion are tightly shut, and inside, the Shang Clan warriors stand ready, bracing for what is to come.
Outside the mansion…
The warriors of the Dark Soul Hall have already surrounded the surrounding streets of the market district. In the neighboring districts, countless shops have closed their doors, fearing the collateral damage that might ensue. Further out, the royal imperial guards have sealed off the area, making it impossible for anyone to pass.
At this moment, the entire capital is watching.
Inside the Qin Mansion, Yun Xingjian and Qin Hongtian are fishing together, their minds preoccupied with the events unfolding.
Above the Liu Mansion, Chi Yuan and Chi Xuan, a couple, have halted their flight and are perched on a small hill, gazing into the distance.
Chu Gongyao and Xiao Qingge are leading their people in a standoff with Qing Shanya and others. They know that entering is impossible, but they must stand their ground to prevent the royal family from sending reinforcements to Ye Wushuang.
Inside the imperial palace…
Qing Muyuan, Chu Yunzhi, and Xiao Zishu, three Wanfa realm cultivators, sit quietly, sipping tea. All eyes are on the Shang Clan, on Ye Wushuang.
Today’s battle will determine the future power dynamics of the capital!
Outside the Shang Mansion.
Ye Wushuang, dressed in white, stands with blood staining his abdomen and back. Beside him, Yuan Pengwang, Xu Yuntian, and Tian Chengwen stand resolutely. In a moment, He Bo, as if by magic, produces a grand armchair and places it behind Ye Wushuang.
“Master, please take a seat and rest,” He Bo says with concern. He has always been the most doting on Ye Wushuang, from the time he was a young master in the Flowing Moon City Ye family, even after his memories were unsealed and Ye Wentian returned, becoming Ye Wushuang. He Bo, the old servant, remains the most caring figure in Ye Wushuang’s life.
Ye Wushuang, pale-faced, nods and sits down. Yuan Pengwang asks directly, “Master, how should we proceed?”
“The formation can be broken by Old Xu.”
Xu Yuntian, now free of the corrosive poison, has regained his status as a fourth-grade spiritual formation master. Although he is currently at the lower tier of this level, he is more than capable of breaking through a third-grade formation. Moreover, with his Tiangang eighth-tier cultivation and the power of the formation, he can even withstand a Wanfa realm opponent!
Ye Wushuang slowly says, “Let’s break the formation first.”
As soon as he speaks, the gates of the Shang Mansion suddenly open wide. Figures pour out, but they remain within the protective light curtain of the formation. Then, five imposing figures step out of the gate. Each exudes an overwhelming aura, their every step radiating immense pressure.
Shang Zeyu, the eldest of the Shang Clan!
Shang Zhaoxian, the second eldest!
Shang Qingquan, the third!
Shang Shanchuan, the fourth!
And Shang Yuzhi, the fifth!
Including the deceased Shang Muchong and Shang Ruxue, these seven are the true right-hand men of the current Shang Clan leader, Shang Muchen, and the core of the Shang Clan.
The current Shang Clan leader, Shang Muchen, is the eighth in line and the youngest among them, yet he is the most talented.
The five figures line up, and then the last one, the most imposing of all, slowly emerges. His presence seems to radiate a spiritual aura, tinged with an intimidating aura of malevolence. As he steps out, all eyes are drawn to him.
The Shang Clan leader, Shang Muchen!
This peak Tiangang realm cultivator has made his appearance!
