Baili Gongjin's expression also turned grave as he said in a deep voice, "I remember that when the Supreme Palace was first established, the Imperial House of Consecrators had sent people to the Northern Region to investigate, but they found nothing. The only valuable information was that the Supreme Palace seemed to be inextricably linked to the Northern Region's Beiming Palace. At first, everyone thought that the Beiming Palace had their eyes on Mount Meru, but there was no movement for over a hundred years. Only then did the major forces of the Fire Crow Empire open their eyes and let them develop. "
"That's right!" Cheng Feng said, "That's one of the major forces of the continent — Beiming Palace! Who would dare to take the risk to touch them? Now, there's indeed a problem. But I don't understand why the Xingyang Clan would want to steal their treasury. This was absolutely intolerable no matter which power it was. That old fox Xingyang Yi has been in charge of the Xingyang Clan for over thirty years. I have a certain understanding of him, and he's definitely not such a fool. There must be another reason! "
Baili Gongjin sighed, "It doesn't matter whether there is another reason or not. The Xingyang Clan has been completely annihilated. There's only Xingyang Fu left. I'm afraid he'll go to the Supreme Palace to fight it out. That's good as well. We can test the Supreme Palace again. I'm afraid Xingyang Fu already has the strength of a peak Nine Star Martial Ancestor, right? "
Cheng Feng said coldly, "Mount Meru is about to open, and various forces are getting restless. I'm afraid the Xingyang Clan's matter isn't that simple. Everything will be clear in a few months. "
Baili Gongjin looked like he was deep in thought. He frowned and said suspiciously, "I suddenly feel that the inexplicable rise of Yanwu City isn't simple. Not only did they offend the Xingyang Clan, Cheng Clan, and Zhou Clan, but they're also connected to the Wang Clan. It's said that they even fought with the Crown Prince at the Myriad Treasures Auction. Tsk tsk, the Zhou Clan lost the Five Elements Cauldron after the Myriad Treasures Auction. Don't tell me they did it? "
Cheng Feng sneered, "In this chaotic situation, the only way to protect oneself is to plan and act. Yanwu City stood in the center of the whirlpool. They were either a bunch of fools or pawns pushed to the front by some major faction to observe the direction of the wind. Yanwu City, the most prosperous city in the Aquasky Nation, is undoubtedly a good choice. "
Baili Gongjin said softly, "I heard that the force behind Yanwu City is the Myriad Treasure Tower?"
Cheng Feng was silent for a while. He pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "I even specially asked the Myriad Treasure Tower about this matter. The answer given by the other party was negative. But at this juncture, it was hard to tell what was real and what was fake. Regardless whether it is the Darknorth Profound Palace or the Myriad Treasure Tower, they are both not existences that we can afford to provoke. We can only wait and see. "
After sighing for a while, the two of them began to study the Heaven and Earth Chess Game again.
At the same time, the higher-ups of the Zhou Family in Shangyang City were also discussing and analyzing the annihilation of the Yingyang Family.
Patriarch Zhou Yangbiao said solemnly, "For such a big thing to happen at this time, I'm afraid it's a sign of chaos. The culprit might not be the Supreme Palace or the force behind it. Our Zhou family must not get involved. The matter of Mount Meru is a small matter, and the matter of Jade Mountain is of utmost importance. Nothing must happen at this time. "
An elder, Zhou Chu, frowned and said, "But the Five Elements Cauldron was robbed, and we are still investigating it. I heard that someone saw this Five Elements Cauldron in the hands of Yanwu City's City Lord, but we don't know if it's real or fake. Should we send someone to investigate it in detail? "
A faint layer of frost appeared on Zhou Yangbiao's face, and his expression gradually turned cold as he said, "That Yanwu City's City Lord, Li Yunxiao, is the one who had a bet with Jade Mountain. Although he has the motive to rob the cauldron, he doesn't have the strength to do so. I suspect that this Li Yunxiao is a puppet pushed out by some big force. From the bet with Jade Mountain to the robbery of the Five Elements Cauldron, it was all planned and premeditated. It was to lure our Zhou family to make a move, and then wait for an opportunity to make a move. "
Another elder, Zhou Xing, said in shock, "Just who is it? To actually dare to openly provoke us? "
Zhou Yangbiao said coldly, "We don't know who it is for now, but this Li Yunxiao not only offended us, but also killed Cheng Family's Cheng Feiqing and Yingyang Family's Yingyang Jie. Let's not talk about whether he has the strength or not, just this courage is not something an ordinary City Lord can have. If there is no one behind him, I won't believe it even if you beat me to death! "
Zhou Chu said in shock, "Could it be that the Yingyang Family's massacre this time is also related to Li Yunxiao?"
Zhou Yangbiao knitted his brows tightly and said in contemplation, "This matter is indeed hard to deduce. The possibility of it being done by the Supreme Palace is higher. But we can't eliminate the possibility of Li Yunxiao's shadow. Who knows, the Supreme Palace and Yanwu City might be in cahoots. Right now, there are also rumors that Yanwu City's backer is the Myriad Treasure Tower. I think the possibility of this is not high. The Myriad Treasure Tower is the number one merchant association that roams the continent, and its power is not beneath any super forces. But they never participate in the continent's disputes, so it's impossible for them to nurture such a pawn force. "
Zhou Chu's expression was cold as he said angrily, "The most infuriating thing is that this Li Yunxiao actually deciphered the painting scroll that Yang Di left behind, and for a mere country's woman, he gave it to the Wang family! This is really infuriating, it's equivalent to that Yushan brat giving the Wang family a huge benefit for no reason! Why don't we let that girl from Tianshui Country become Yushan's concubine right now? In this way, the Wang family will break their promise to Li Yunxiao, and naturally, they won't be able to obtain Yang Di's favor. "
"No!"
Zhou Yangbiao narrowed his eyes, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes as he said coldly, "Right now, more than half of the Wang family's experts are loitering around our Zhou Family every day. More than a hundred divine senses are sweeping around the residence all day long. Even if a servant persisted for a few seconds while having sex with his wife at night, it's all within their intelligence. Humph, to dare to spy on us so openly, it proves that they have made an iron determination! Once they make any strange movements towards Qin Ruxue, I'm afraid they'll rush in to save her in the next second. Right now is a sensitive time for Yushan's closed-door cultivation, we mustn't make any mistakes! "
"That's right, and the Wang family is only responsible for protecting that girl for three months. After three months, we'll drag her out and play with her however we want. At that time, let's see what that Li Yunxiao can do! "Zhou Xing also sneered," But what should we do about the Five Elements Cauldron? If we continue to investigate, we might just be wading into muddy water. If we don't investigate, what about Yushan's side? "
Zhou Yangbiao's fingers constantly tapped on the table as he said indifferently, "I've already found two cauldrons for Yushan to forcefully imbue into. It doesn't matter whether he has the Five Elements Cauldron or not."
Everyone was shocked, and a chill rose in their hearts.
The so-called cauldrons were to find two experts to consume their own True Yuan and forcefully imbue Zhou Yushan to increase his strength. In this way, one could obtain a huge increase in strength in a short period of time. However, this kind of increase was not only limited, but also a large part of it was illusory. How much one could obtain depended entirely on one's own strength.
Some people's talent was too poor. Even if they forcefully imbued Zhou Yushan with their cultivation, they might not even be able to stabilize their strength in the end. Moreover, this kind of forceful imbuement could only be performed by someone with cultivation at least two realms higher than the cauldron. After using it, the cauldron's True Yuan would be completely destroyed, and they would become a cripple.
Zhou Yushan himself had the cultivation of a Martial Lord. In order to forcefully imbue him, one needed to be at least an expert with the cultivation of a Martial Ancestor. With such a powerful force and two people being sent at once, after the imbuement, no matter how much Zhou Yushan's strength increased, the two Martial Ancestor experts would be completely destroyed. Martial Ancestor experts, in the southern region of the Tianwu Continent, were already heroes who established their own sects and dominated an area. Yet, for the sake of raising the strength of a young person, they were forcefully destroyed. Only the four great clans had the strength to do such a thing!
No expression could be seen on Zhou Yangbiao's face. Likely, he did not feel much pain in his heart. After all, he was imbuing his own son, so he was probably more than happy. He said indifferently, "However, this matter cannot be left like this, and we cannot get involved in it. How about this: send an elder to Yanwu City and the Supreme Palace to investigate. Remember, do not do anything, and report back immediately if there is any news. The opening of Mount Meru this time is perhaps more dangerous than any other. The reason why our Zhou Clan has been able to survive for a thousand years is not only because of our powerful strength, but also because we are cautious. We would rather lose a thousand times than take a wrong step. Chief Zhou, Elder Zhou Xing, I will have to trouble the two of you this time. "
"Yes, Clan Leader!"
The two of them hurriedly stood up to accept the order. Zhou Yangbiao waved his hand, and the two of them immediately left under the complicated gazes of the crowd, heading towards Yanwu City and the Supreme Palace.
Li Yunxiao drove the chariot in the direction of the Supreme Palace, then secretly returned to Yanwu City.
Xiao Qingwang said worriedly, "Although we managed to fool them, we do not know if we can fool those clans. The Yingyang Clan has an old ancestor who is an elder of the Jutian Sect. His cultivation is unfathomable. If he attacks us, the consequences will be dire. "
Li Yunxiao said indifferently, "Even if we can fool them, it will only be for a while. If not for Uncle Chen's death, I would not have attacked the Yingyang Clan so early. Everyone, there is no need to worry too much. Raising your own strength is the way to go. This time, the Yingyang Clan has been annihilated. At least we can intimidate those arrogant clans a little. No one in Yanwu City will have any ideas for the time being. We can make use of this time to raise everyone's cultivation. "
After that, he arranged for everyone to enter the Universe God Monument. At once, the casual martial artists who had been recruited were completely astonished. The disciples of the Sky Cicada Sect were considered to be part of a sect, but in this vast independent space where the spiritual energy was several times denser, they were still shocked. The students of Jia Lan Academy from the Dubhe Group had never seen such a miraculous sight before. All of them were dumbfounded.
Neng Feichen's face was full of excitement as he said excitedly, "No wonder, no wonder Yanwu City could rise in such a short time. So there is such a miraculous item! It is actually an independent space with spirituality! Young Master Yun, the level of this profound artifact is not low, right? "
Li Yunxiao smiled and nodded without saying a word. It was not only not low, it was truly something he had never seen before. He smiled lightly and said, "Sect Master Neng, the conditions I promised you back then, looks like there is no problem now, right?"
Neng Feichen laughed loudly and said, "No problem, absolutely no problem! With such a profound artifact, in addition to the Nine Dragons Spirit Assimilation Formation's endless supply of vital energy, the conditions will only be better than what was promised back then! And I believe that with such resources, Yanwu City will become a super force in the Fire Crow Empire sooner or later. "
