When Ou Zhenchuan saw that Jiang Nan only said a few words and everything was set up flawlessly, Ou Zhenchuan was truly impressed. "Suijing is actually able to befriend such a friend. It is truly my clan's fortune!"
"City Lord, let us take a look at your dao injuries." The cave door closed and Jiang Nan smiled.
Ou Zhenchuan took a deep breath and layers of sky palaces appeared behind him. There was another sky court that leaped out and floated above the eight sky palaces. In his sky palace and sky court, there were all sorts of divine trees. It was obviously the invasion of different dao laws that were constantly erasing his magic power. These dao laws were endless and could strengthen themselves. This was why Ou Zhenchuan's cultivation was constantly declining.
Jiang Nan heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. "If we didn't have the Sage Tree, it would indeed be very difficult to get rid of these dao laws. But now that we have the Sage Tree, treating these dao injuries is nothing difficult!"
"Ou Suijing came back alive?"
In the center of Chu Yun City, in a luxurious mansion, a middle-aged man in purple robe had a dignified expression. He was sitting on the throne and listening to the servant report about Ou Suijing's return. His fingers gently tapped on the armrest and muttered, "Now that he is back, could he have already obtained the Sage Lord cave abode? If that is the case, then he is in danger. The Sage Lord cave abode most likely has a method to treat Ou Zhenchuan's old injuries … "
Suddenly, another servant came forward to report. "City Lord, that old servant, Zhuo Qingshan, has left with Ou Suijing."
"Left?"
Ou Zhenshang was stunned and asked anxiously, "Where did they go?"
"They went all the way to the west. This little one didn't find out where they were planning to go."
"All the way to the west?"
Ou Zhenshang laughed heartily. "Seems like they went to the maiden home of the City Lord's wife. If that kid Ou Suijing obtained the Sage Lord cave abode, he would definitely not leave but stay behind to treat Ou Zhenchuan's injuries. Now that he left, it must be Ou Zhenchuan's instruction to seek refuge at his maternal grandfather's home. You guys can withdraw. If Ninth Master returns, get him to come and see me immediately. "
"Ninth Master" was Ou Zhendong. The servants nodded and left.
At this moment, Ou Zhendong did not rush back to Rising Cloud City immediately. When he was fighting with Jiang Nan and the others in the void, he was schemed against by Trueness Buddha and was left alone. In the end, he was severely injured by Jiang Nan and the others and almost died. Even the divine treasure that he had painstakingly refined, the Triangular Prism, was taken away and his Heavenly Halberd was broken.
Now that his strength had been greatly damaged, he had no choice but to recuperate first. Thus, his footsteps were slightly slower than Jiang Nan and the others.
However, after he had recovered from his injuries and reforged the broken Sky Halberd, he immediately rushed to Yuncheng.
"Old Nine, there's no need to go."
When Ou Zhendong was still several million li away from Rising Cloud City, he suddenly heard a familiar voice. He quickly looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ou Zhenyun standing not far away.
"So it's Seventh Brother."
Ou Zhendong revealed a mocking expression and laughed involuntarily. "Seventh Brother doesn't want me to leave. Could it be that you want me to stay here? Don't think that you can challenge me just because you've become a god! "
Ou Zhenyun's expression darkened slightly. "Zhendong, you've surpassed me since we were young. I'm inferior to you in every aspect. This is due to my aptitude. I admit that I'm inferior to you. However, today, I'm going to stop you. If you want to walk over, you'll have to defeat me first! "
Ou Zhendong laughed loudly and walked over with the Heavenly Halberd in his hand. He pointed the halberd at Ou Zhenyun and exuded a murderous aura. "I'm not going to defeat you. I'm going to walk over your corpse!"
Ou Zhenyun's figure exploded, and a long staff suddenly appeared in his hand. The body of the staff was forged from divine gold and covered in all kinds of dragon patterns. It was also a divine treasure!
"Seventh Brother, I've refined all my treasures myself. You're just inheriting the shadow of your ancestors. What virtue or ability do you have to compete with me?"
Ou Zhendong swung the halberd down and forced Ou Zhenyun to retreat continuously. However, at this moment, Ou Zhenyun suddenly activated the Eight Treasures Lotus Seat. A large Buddha stood up from the wick and stepped on the lotus seat. With the six treasures in his hand, he charged toward Ou Zhendong.
Ou Zhenyun also stopped his declining momentum and swept his staff over. Together with the Holy Light Buddha, he besieged Ou Zhendong. The three gods fought fiercely. As soon as they clashed, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked!
This battle lasted for three days. Both of them were exhausted. However, Ou Zhenyun continued to block in front of Ou Zhendong, preventing him from taking a step closer to Cloud Rising City.
Finally, Ou Zhenyun retreated, and Ou Zhendong heaved a sigh of relief. He dragged his exhausted body toward Cloud Rising City.
When he arrived at Cloud Rising City, he couldn't help but be slightly startled. He saw that the city was bustling with people. Many disciples and experts who led their own forces had returned from various places. The Patriarchs who had been living in seclusion in Cloud Rising City had also appeared. However, these Patriarchs were restraining the disciples in the city and didn't participate in the chaos.
In the city, a tyrannical aura erupted and soared into the sky. It was the might of the gods. Ou Zhenshang's face was full of glory and he was in high spirits. He was surrounded by the experts of Cloud Rising City who had pledged their allegiance to him. There were also many unfamiliar faces. They should be gods and demons from other major forces who had been invited by him.
Ou Zhenshang led a large number of experts, including no less than ten gods. They surrounded the City Lord's Mansion!
In the sky above the City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Ou Zhenchuan's face was pale. He kept coughing up blood and looked weak. It seemed like he didn't have long to live.
Although Ou Zhenchuan also had many followers, there were only two or three gods. The others were all experts from Ou Zhenchuan's faction. Moreover, they were all in the Heavenly Palace Realm. The gap between them was huge.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that Ou Zhenshang had the upper hand. This time, the position of City Lord would definitely change hands!
"The situation is over …"
Ou Zhendong saw this and thought about how Ou Zhenyun risked his life to stop him from stepping into Cloud Rising City. How could he not understand?
"Big Brother, Zhendong pays his respects." Ou Zhendong suddenly flew out of the encirclement and landed in front of Ou Zhenchuan.
Ou Zhenchuan gasped and said weakly, "Zhendong, why do you want to pay your respects to me? Don't you know that Old Fifth's victory is already decided? "
"A fine bird chooses a tree to nest in. It's better to send charcoal in the snow than to add flowers to embroidery. I naturally want to choose the Phoenix Wood as my home."
Ou Zhendong said respectfully, "In my opinion, Big Brother is the wise ruler."
Ou Zhenchuan revealed a smile and nodded lightly. "You and I are brothers. Even if we had some conflicts in the past, it's all in the past. There's no need to take it to heart."
Ou Zhendong said in a deep voice, "Fifth Brother has always been smart and cautious. Now, he's getting carried away. May I ask, Big Brother, who was the one who gave him the idea?"
"Cult Master Jiang, of course," Ou Zhenchuan said with a smile.
Ou Zhendong sighed and said in a bleak tone, "It's really him! This Cult Master Jiang is truly an outstanding person … "
Ou Zhenshang saw that he didn't report to him when he returned from outside and went to Ou Zhenchuan's place immediately. His face couldn't help but darken, and he was furious.
"Ou Zhenchuan, I'll let this matter go as long as you resign from the position of City Lord."
Ou Zhenshang's face was gloomy, and he said in a clear voice, "Why do you have to sacrifice your life for a position?"
Ou Zhenchuan coughed up blood and said while gasping for breath, "Fifth Brother, you and I are of the same clan. Why do you have to be so overbearing?"
"Overbearing?"
Ou Zhenshang straightened his body, and his heroic spirit burst forth. He said in a deep voice, "This isn't overbearing, but following the current situation! My Rising Cloud City has stood tall for 350,000 years since the founding of the Rising Cloud Ancestor. We've gone through ups and downs to reach where we are today. In the past, our Rising Cloud City was safe and sound with the protection of the Rising Cloud Ancestor. But now, the Sacred Mountain of the Remote Antiquity has been sealed, and the Celestial Passage has been cut off. Even the Old Ancestor can't descend to the lower world. In the past, anyone, even a cat or a dog, could have been the City Lord. But now, with the passage of time, we must have a City Lord who can oversee the city. Only then can we ensure the safety of our Rising Cloud City. "
"Big Brother Zhenchuan, you've already become a waste. You still want to occupy the position of City Lord? If a waste becomes the City Lord, not only will the whole world laugh at you, but if a war breaks out, won't my Rising Cloud City be consigned to eternal damnation in your hands? "
He shouted sternly, "Today, I'm not seizing power for my own personal benefit, and it's not because of the grievances between you and me. I'm thinking for my Rising Cloud City, and for my Ou Clan! Ou Zhenchuan, if you don't take the initiative to abdicate, don't blame me for being heartless and disregarding family ties! "
Ou Zhenchuan sighed. His eyes were bleak as he looked at the Rising Cloud City's Old Ancestors who were hidden in the void in the distance. He then said in a bitter voice, "Old Ancestors, could it be that you have the heart to see a younger brother killing his older brother, a lower rank usurping the position of a higher rank, and an internal strife?"
Ou Zhenshang sneered, but didn't say anything. The void was silent. After a while, an old voice resounded, "What Zhenshang said is right. Zhenchuan, this old man is also very sad that you're suffering from an unmentionable disease. But, the Rising Cloud City Lord is the face of my Rising Cloud City. So, I must take action. You're not willing to abdicate, and you've taken the initiative to abdicate. You're making things very difficult for us. "
"We old bones have already discussed it."
Another old voice resounded, and it indifferently said, "We old bones won't intervene in the struggle for the position of the City Lord this time. First, we're taking into account your many years of meritorious service to our Rising Cloud City. Second, we're doing this for the sake of fairness. Zhenchuan, your bloodline and Zhenshang's bloodline will compete for the position of the City Lord. The winner will be the City Lord. "
Ou Zhenchuan was silent for a while. Then, he said, "Some of Zhenshang's subordinates aren't members of my Ou Clan. They're outsiders."
"Connections are also a kind of strength. Zhenchuan, you can also ask for external help. It's not against the rules. "
Another old woman's voice resounded, "Zhenchuan, if you take the initiative to give up the position of the City Lord, your life can be preserved, and it won't endanger your children and elders. You need to think about it carefully. Don't harm others and yourself. "
Ou Zhenchuan's complexion was ashen. He looked at Ou Zhenshang, only to see a hint of a sneer at the corner of Ou Zhenshang's mouth. Obviously, he had already convinced these old ancestors to not intervene in the struggle for the position of the City Lord and only act as witnesses.
Although he and Ou Zhenshang both had the surname Ou, and they were both descendants of the Rising Cloud Ancestor, it had been too long. After 350,000 years of development, different clans had formed in Rising Cloud City. There were also competitions and grudges between them, and there were even some conflicts on the battlefield.
The two of them had the same ancestor but different clans, and there was a deep hatred between the clans. Ou Zhenshang would definitely kill him if he got this opportunity. Even after obtaining the position of the City Lord, he would definitely eradicate his bloodline!
"Since that's the case …"
Ou Zhenchuan said bitterly, "Then let's fight!"
"Kill! Kill for me! "
Ou Zhenshang shouted sternly, "Kill Ou Zhenchuan's bloodline! And Ou Zhendong, don't even think about escaping. All of you will die without a burial ground! "
Before he finished speaking, Ou Zhenchuan's figure suddenly became incomparably majestic and tall. Half of his body stretched out of Rising Cloud City, and his head towered above the atmosphere, almost touching the stars!
What was an Empyrean God?
This was an Empyrean God. With a single thought, their physical bodies could expand infinitely!
An Empyrean God was already extremely tyrannical. Moreover, Ou Zhenchuan himself was a peerless powerhouse among the Empyrean Gods, and he had the potential to become an overlord among True Gods and Divine Masters!
"Ou Zhenshang, you can die now!"
Ou Zhenchuan's large hand came down, and the surging waves of air forced all the powerhouses around Ou Zhenshang away, leaving Ou Zhenshang alone to face this terrifying palm!
