In the depths of Ye Wushuang’s mind, Chi Xuan’s voice echoed.
“Forgive me, Lord Ye!”
“It’s all my fault, Lord Ye…”
Ye Wushuang, however, spoke up: “You two are like friends and confidants to me. There is no need for apologies.”
“The death of Old Crane is not your fault. The blame lies with them!”
Chi Yuan, on the other hand, kept a wary eye on the black-clad figure while also observing Ye Wushuang and Chi Xuan.
When it learned of Old Crane’s demise, its heart was filled with such rage and regret that it felt as if it could shatter a mountain range.
Lord Ye had only participated in the Hundred Nations Martial Contest to save his wife’s life.
And because of that contest, he had become a target for the pursuit of numerous powerful factions in Qingzhou.
The journey back had been anything but safe.
And now,
the only thing the couple could do was to eliminate anyone who dared to harm Lord Ye!
At this moment,
the eight wings on the backs of Chi Yuan and Chi Xuan slowly unfolded, exuding a terrifying aura of oppression.
Though they had not yet reached the ten-wing stage,
together, the couple now matched the power of a peak Wanfa realm cultivator.
If anyone wanted to harm Lord Ye, they would have to answer to them first!
The expressions of the people from the Liu, Qin, and Xiao clans changed dramatically.
How had those two creatures from the Qingyun Academy, once considered mere beasts, become so powerful in the blink of an eye?
The peak Wanfa realm aura they exuded was on par with that of the Liu clan’s patriarch.
Now, it was they who were at a disadvantage!
The black-clad figure stood in mid-air, his expression calm.
Faced with the oppressive aura of the two eight-winged Chiyan pythons, he showed no panic, but rather, seemed to have everything under control.
“I anticipated that your trip to the Hundred Nations Martial Contest was for their sake. You obtained the Jiuqu Tiancan Pill, and Chi Xuan’s injuries have been healed,” the black-clad figure said slowly.
“However, Ye Wushuang, you still have no chance of victory today!”
As these words fell,
the sound of breaking air filled the sky.
On the ground, figures soared into the air.
From the markets on either side of the Qin residence, more than a hundred figures suddenly appeared, carrying an overwhelming aura and a chilling presence.
Most were at the Tiangang realm level.
But the dozen or so leaders were all at the Wanfa realm!
Among them, five figures stood out with particularly powerful and distinctive auras.
Three of them stepped forward without any concealment, arriving in the center of the scene in a single stride, standing in mid-air and looking down at the people below.
“It has been over five hundred years since I last visited the Qingyun Empire. Time flies…” one of the gaunt men said with a smile.
The woman in the center, who appeared to be in her thirties, said with a smile, “The Qingyun Empire is not what it used to be.”
The short and plump man on the right laughed and said, “Of course not. With the Ye clan gone, the Qingyun Empire is just an ordinary small empire.”
Their words were filled with extreme confidence.
The black-clad figure then turned to Ye Wushuang and said indifferently, “Let me introduce these three to you.”
“Zhong Chengze, the thirty-sixth hall master of the Tianjifu.”
“Yao Yunzhi, the thirty-fifth hall master of the Tianjifu.”
“And this is Guo Wenbin, the thirtieth hall master.”
Hall masters of the Tianjifu!
Both Yun Xingjian and Qing Muyuan’s faces darkened.
The Tianjifu, as one of the dominant forces in Qingzhou, naturally had extremely powerful and strictly hierarchical warriors under its command.
Beneath the overall head of the Tianjifu were four major house lords.
And beneath the four major house lords were thirty-six hall masters.
These thirty-six hall masters were all powerful figures at the Wanfa realm or even the Guiyuan realm within the Tianjifu.
In the hundred nations, they were more powerful than the monarchs of the various empires!
Each of them was a renowned figure.
Now, the thirty-sixth, thirty-fifth, and thirtieth hall masters had gathered together, all to kill Ye Wushuang!
At the same time, on the other side, two more figures led their groups over.
One was an old man, and the other a burly middle-aged man.
The black-clad figure continued, “These two are the inner sect elders of the Shengdan Sect, Elder Qu and Elder Gongsun!”
Upon hearing this, Yun Xingjian and Qing Muyuan exchanged glances, feeling a sense of foreboding.
The Shengdan Sect.
Beneath the sect leader were the seven great elixir masters, each with remarkable strength and superb alchemical skills.
Beneath the seven great elixir masters were twenty-four inner sect elders, just like the thirty-six hall masters of the Tianjifu, all were top-tier strong figures.
They had thought that with Chi Yuan and Chi Xuan present, even if the Liu clan’s patriarch was a peak Wanfa realm existence, they would have nothing to worry about.
But this black-clad ancestor had clearly anticipated this.
At this moment, the black-clad figure laughed again, “I can also tell you that originally, Elder Shengxuan and Lord Linghan did not plan to come in person.”
“But it seems that your outstanding performance in the Hundred Nations Martial Contest has left a deep impression on them, and they might arrive soon!”
“The two of them specifically sent a message ahead of time to tell me to spare your life.”
“Ye Wushuang, do you think you can still survive today?”
The seemingly casual words fell, yet they weighed as heavy as a mountain on the hearts of everyone present.
