Fire Dragon Continent, Ye Family Castle.
"Clang, clang …"
Every day at dusk, the melodious sound of the zither would resound in the East Courtyard. When the zither sounded, countless warriors would gather in the East Courtyard. They would sit cross-legged on the ground and quietly listen to the zither. Some would close their eyes and cultivate, some would silently look up at the sky, and some would stand there and stare into the distance …
Suddenly.
The eyes of a cultivator looking at the sky lit up, and a white light flashed on his body. This cultivator's face suddenly revealed a pleasantly surprised smile, and he cried out in ecstasy, "I understand, so that's how it is!" Then, facing the east side of the courtyard, he knelt down and kowtowed.
"Wow, Ye Xiaomeng has also broken through to the emperor realm!"
"In the past two years, eight disciples have broken through to the emperor realm. The Empress' music is really amazing!"
"Of course, she is Empress Qingcheng. The law of divine sound is amazing …"
"Haha, our Ye Family has Empress Qingcheng. There will be more and more emperor realm experts!"
The martial artists at the side all revealed looks of envy, and at the same time, incomparably proud expressions. Listening to the music in the east courtyard was a privilege unique to the disciples of the Ye Family. The disciples of the Ye Family could come and listen at will after reaching the duke realm. Although the Yue Family could send a few people to live in the courtyard every month, they could only send a few people. Every time the Feng Family and the Hua Family sent a few people to listen to the music, they needed to ask the elders of the family to make an exception. The Xue Family didn't have this qualification.
"Hmph!"
At this time, a faint snort sounded. Everyone tensed up and stopped talking. They all looked at the courtyard in the east and the door that was closed all year round.
There were eight abnormally tall and strong men at the door. They were divided into two rows and guarded the green door in the courtyard. At this moment, the man at the front glanced coldly at the warriors who were talking outside and Ye Xiaomeng who was constantly kowtowing on the ground. He said coldly, "Be quiet. If you disturb the Empress's cultivation, you will be disqualified from listening to the music in the east courtyard."
"Oh …"
After the man finished speaking, no one dared to speak. Even Ye Xiaomeng, who was kowtowing on the ground, stopped and looked at the courtyard with a very grateful look. Only then did the man stand back up in satisfaction. He raised his head high and continued to guard the door that was closed all year round.
Although the cultivators outside occasionally glanced at the eight guards with a trace of disdain in their eyes, they did not dare to underestimate them. However, it disappeared in a flash, and no one dared to show it. Not to mention contradicting the words of these eight people. The reason for that was because the gate that the eight of them were guarding was no ordinary gate. Instead, it was the Chilling Heart Pavilion's gate.
No one said anything else. They continued to listen to the music. But at this moment, the sound of the zither suddenly stopped. Then, everyone felt a sudden breeze in the courtyard. This breeze came very suddenly, but it made everyone feel very comfortable. Everyone looked at each other in surprise.
Didn't Heavenly Empress Qingcheng play the zither until night time every day? It had been going on for almost two years. Why did they suddenly make an exception today?
In the next second, everyone felt as if the air outside the Chilling Heart Pavilion had suddenly become chaotic. Countless gusts of wind suddenly blew in from all directions. Finally, these gusts of wind blew into the Chilling Heart Pavilion. It was currently June, but there were a few gusts of wind that were incomparably cold?
"Haha!"
Suddenly —
Two beams of light lit up the back mountain of the Ye Family. Then, two loud laughs rang out in the sky above the entire Ye Family Castle. Two figures, one green and one white, streaked across the sky from the back mountain of the Ye Family and rushed toward the east courtyard. They charged directly into the Chilling Heart Pavilion. They were so fast that the people outside couldn't see their faces clearly.
Swish!
Countless Marquis Realm cultivators outside the courtyard looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know what was going on. In the next second, countless figures rapidly rose from the west courtyard. Under the lead of a black figure, all of them flew over excitedly.
Previously, no one had seen the white and green figures clearly. Now, everyone could see these people clearly. This was because these people didn't fly directly into the Chilling Heart Pavilion like the two figures before. Instead, they slowly landed at the gate of the courtyard. They looked at the courtyard excitedly and respectfully. Some of them even trembled slightly.
"Greetings, Clan Leader. Greetings, Elders!"
Many Marquis Realm cultivators hurriedly knelt down and paid their respects to this group of people. Their eyes flickered as they began to speculate. Could it be that one of the Empresses had broken through to the god-tier? Otherwise, why would all the experts of the clan be gathered here?
"All of you, leave … no one is to speak of what happened today!"
At the very front was the scholarly and refined Ye Qiang. His expression had always been calm, but at this moment, he couldn't stay calm anymore. He waved his hands randomly and said something to the Marquis Realm cultivators behind him. Then, he looked at the Chilling Heart Pavilion with a burning gaze.
Although everyone was bewildered, Ye Qiang had already given the order. They bowed and began to leave slowly.
Swish!
They had just taken a few steps when the space around them rippled. An old man wearing a coat and holding a fishing rod appeared. Then, there were several more ripples, and a few more figures appeared in the courtyard. Everyone was so shocked that their jaws nearly dropped to the ground. They had actually seen Yao and Brute Race cultivators. Furthermore, these cultivators had suddenly appeared out of thin air. The only way they could appear out of thin air was by teleportation. What was going on in the courtyard? Why were the experts of the Ye Family gathering here, and why were the god-tier experts of the continent teleporting here?
"Could it be …"
Some of the Marquis Realm cultivators suddenly thought of something. Their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably, and their footsteps became slower and slower. Their eyes occasionally drifted over to the Chilling Heart Pavilion, as if they were trying to confirm their thoughts.
"Third Uncle, bring the Ye Family to the back of the mountain. I will come over later!"
A young voice rang out from the Chilling Heart Pavilion. Many of the Marquis Realm cultivators who were slowly retreating suddenly felt their legs go soft, and they stumbled to the ground. However, they were completely unaware of this as they stared fixedly at the Chilling Heart Pavilion. Some of them had tears of excitement in their eyes. Many of them had heard this voice before. Although they had not heard it for two years, it was still fresh in their memories. This was … the voice of the Frost Empress!
"Seniors, please go to the back of the mountain and rest for a while!"
Ye Qiang revealed a brilliant smile when he heard the long-awaited Third Uncle. Then, he cupped his hands towards the god-tier experts in the courtyard and spoke very respectfully.
"Clan Head Ye, please!"
Although the god-tier experts really wanted to enter the Chilling Heart Pavilion and sit down, they did not express anything. Instead, they spoke extremely courteously to Ye Qiang, then flew towards the back of the Ye Family's mountain.
"It's him, it's him!"
The Marquis Realm cultivators all understood now. They called Ye Qiang Third Uncle, not clan head. There was only one person in the entire Ye Family. There were only two people in the entire Flame Dragon Continent who could make all the continent's god-tier experts wait outside the courtyard, not daring to enter, and now ask them to wait in the back of the mountain. And there was one person in the Ye Family — Ye Qinghan!
The Frost Empress had returned!
Although Ye Qiang had instructed them not to spread this news, the entire Ye Family's castle and Cang City were instantly spread. After a while, the entire city was in an uproar. At the same time, because Ye Qinghan's divine sense had inadvertently swept out, the entire Flame Dragon Continent was alarmed. Luo Hua City, West Wind City, Floating Snow City … countless figures from countless cities suddenly rose into the sky and flew towards Cang City.
