The voice of Chi Xuan echoed within Ye Wushuang’s mind.
“Forgive me, Lord Ye!”
“It’s all my fault that Lord Ye…”
But Ye Wushuang interjected, “You two are like close friends and confidants to me. There is no need for apologies.”
“The death of Uncle He is not your fault. The blame lies with them!”
At this moment, Chi Yuan, while keeping a wary eye on the figure in black, also watched Ye Wushuang and Chi Xuan closely.
When it learned of Uncle He’s demise, its heart was filled with rage and regret so intense that it could shatter a mountain range.
Lord Ye had participated in the Hundred Nations Martial Contest to save his wife’s life.
Because of that contest, he was pursued by many powerful factions in Qingzhou.
Their journey back had been far from safe.
And now, the only thing they could do was to eliminate anyone who dared to harm Lord Ye!
At that moment, the eight wings on the backs of Chi Yuan and Chi Xuan slowly unfurled, exuding an overwhelming aura of power.
Though they had yet to unlock their tenth wing, together they were now on par with 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 could those two creatures from Qingyun Academy, who were once so weak, have 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 figure in black stood in mid-air, his expression calm.
Faced with the oppressive aura of the two eight-winged Chiyan pythons, he showed no sign of panic. Instead, he seemed utterly confident.
“I had anticipated that your journey to the Hundred Nations Martial Contest was for their sake. You obtained the Jiuku Tiancan Pill, and Chi Xuan’s injuries have healed,” the figure in black said slowly. “However, Ye Wushuang, you still have no chance of victory today!”
As his words fell, a sound pierced the air.
Figures shot into the sky from the ground.
From the markets on either side of the Qin residence, more than a hundred figures suddenly appeared, each carrying an intimidating 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 at the scene in a single stride, standing in mid-air and looking down at the others.
“It has been over five hundred years since I last visited the Qingyun Empire. Time flies…” one of them, a thin and wiry man, 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, “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 figure in black then turned to Ye Wushuang and introduced them calmly.
“Let me introduce these three to you. The thirty-sixth hall master of the Tianji Mansion, Gong Chengze. The thirty-fifth, Yao Yunzhi. And the thirtieth, Guo Wenbin.”
Hall masters of the Tianji Mansion!
Yun Xingjian and Qing Muyuan’s faces darkened.
The Tianji Mansion, one of the dominant forces in Qingzhou, had extremely powerful and strictly hierarchical warriors under its command.
Beneath the head of the mansion were four major house masters. And beneath them 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 Tianji Mansion.
In the hundred nations, they were more formidable than the rulers of the great empires!
Each of them was renowned far and wide.
Now, the thirty-sixth, thirty-fifth, and thirtieth hall masters had gathered together, all to execute Ye Wushuang!
At the same time, two other figures led their groups and approached from the other side.
An old man and a burly middle-aged man.
The figure in black 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’s leader were the seven great elixir masters, each with remarkable strength and superb alchemical skills.
Beneath them were twenty-four inner sect elders, just like the thirty-six hall masters of the Tianji Mansion, all were top-tier strong individuals.
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-robed ancestor had clearly anticipated this.
At this moment, the figure in black 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 at the Hundred Nations Martial Contest has made them very concerned about you. They might arrive soon!”
“The two of them specifically sent a message in advance to tell me to spare your life.”
“Ye Wushuang, do you think you can still survive today?”
The seemingly casual words fell, yet they felt as heavy as a mountain, pressing down on the hearts of everyone present.
