The Thousand Clouds City was one of the oldest and most famous cities on the Shingluo Continent.
The Thousand Clouds City was famous because it was the headquarters of the Jiang Family. It occupied one of the Spirit Veins in the Shingluo Sky City. Almost all the experts of the Jiang Family lived in the Thousand Clouds City.
"We are here. The Thousand Clouds City is just ahead."
After traveling for ten-odd days, the travel-worn Ye Chenfeng's group finally arrived at the outskirts of Ten Thousand Clouds City. From a distance, they saw the extremely luxurious Ten Thousand Clouds City, which was enveloped by clouds and took up a lot of land.
"Stop! Who are you? What are you doing in the Thousand Clouds City?"
When Ye Chenfeng and the others arrived at the gate of the City of Thousand Clouds, which was several dozen meters tall and made from an entire piece of priceless Vajra White Jade, they were immediately stopped by several guards of the Jiang Family, who wore golden armor and held sharp robes in their hands.
"I am the young mistress of the Bai Family. I am here to discuss something with the Jiang Family Head."
Bai Ziqing took out her identity token from her bosom and revealed her identity.
"The Bai Family!"
The guards in golden armor frowned slightly. They communicated with each other and said, "You may enter the city."
After speaking, the golden-armored guards opened a path for Ye Chenfeng's group, allowing them to enter the bustling Ten Thousand Cloud City. There were many buildings, shops, and white banyan trees planted on both sides of the streets.
"Although I don't want my guess to be true, judging from the expressions of those Jiang family guards just now, something must have happened to the Jiang family. Otherwise, those guards wouldn't be so distant and cold after knowing your identity."
Ye Chenfeng's expression turned serious as he walked toward the Jiang Family Mansion in the center of the city. If he guessed correctly, the situation would become serious and complicated.
Even with Ye Chenfeng's strength, he still felt a bit of pressure when facing the mastermind behind the scenes who was trying to overthrow the Star Luo Continent. Furthermore, that mastermind was more likely to affect his plan to dominate the Star Luo Heavenly City.
"Then what should we do? The Jiang Clan is the last hope of our Bai Clan. If something happens to the Jiang Clan, our Bai Clan will be doomed," Bai Ziqing said anxiously.
"Since we're already here, let's take things as they come. Maybe things aren't as bad as we think. Let's wait until we see Great Ancestor Jiang and Family Head Jiang first."
Ye Chenfeng looked at the pale-faced Bai Ziqing and her sister and comforted them softly. Then, they followed a straight path and arrived at the Jiang Clan's old residence, which was enveloped by a terrifying restriction.
"I'm Bai Ziqing, the eldest daughter of the Bai Clan. I have an important matter to report to the Jiang Clan's Great Ancestor." Bai Ziqing stood outside the heavily guarded Jiang Clan Manor and revealed her identity. She was neither haughty nor humble.
"Someone from the Bai Family?"
The Jiang Clan's guard sized up Bai Ziqing and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Wait here and don't move. I'll report this to the Head Butler."
With that, a Jiang Clan's guard with a strong aura pushed open the bronze gate inlaid with two lion heads and walked into the Jiang Clan Manor to report this.
After a while, a silver-haired old man in a green robe with a long white beard and a face full of red light walked out with a tiger's step.
When he saw Bai Ziqing and her sister, a rare smile appeared on his cold face. He said softly, "Ziqing, Yue 'er, why have you come from so far away?"
"Uncle Jiang, we came here for a very important matter. I wonder if Uncle Jiang can bring us to see Great Ancestor Jiang and Family Head Jiang." The Bai Clan and Jiang Clan had a good relationship, so Bai Ziqing and her sister knew Head Butler Jiang.
"Great Ancestor Jiang and Family Head Jiang are in seclusion. Right now, everything in the Jiang Clan is temporarily managed by the Second Family Head." Head Butler Jiang said, "Come with me. I'll bring you to see the Second Family Head."
With that, Head Butler Jiang opened a crack in the restriction and brought Ye Chenfeng and the others into the Jiang Clan's Manor, which was filled with green bamboos in the front yard.
After passing through a winding corridor, Ye Chenfeng saw that the Jiang Clan's Manor was exquisitely built. There were pavilions, terraces, and pavilions hidden between the green bamboos. Towering ancient trees decorated the manor. Amidst the flourishing vitality, cute and obedient spirit beasts could be seen from time to time, adding a bit of a celestial aura to the manor.
"The Second Family Head is in the main hall. If there's anything important, you can just tell him!"
After passing through the green scenery, Ye Chenfeng saw a main hall with intersecting arches and yellow tiles. Within the main hall, Ye Chenfeng's powerful soul could feel a vigorous aura.
"Grade 4 Combat Beast Emperor." Ye Chenfeng's eyebrows twitched slightly. He was a little surprised by the Second Family Head's strength.
"Second Family Head, Bai Clan's Bai Ziqing and Bai Yue request an audience."
Standing outside the golden main hall, Head Butler Jiang respectfully reported.
"It's Ziqing, Yue 'er. Come in!" A vigorous voice resounded from the main hall.
"Ziqing, Yue 'er greets Uncle Yiwu."
After entering the luxuriously decorated main hall, Bai Ziqing and Bai Yue quickly stepped forward and respectfully greeted Jiang Yiwu, who was wearing luxurious clothes and sitting in the middle of the main hall. Jiang Yiwu, who exuded a domineering aura, was sipping on his tea.
"Ziqing, Yue 'er, did you come all the way to my Jiang Clan because of the conflict between your Bai Clan and the Dark Asura Hall?"
Jiang Yiwu ordered people to arrange seats for Ye Chenfeng and the others. He put down the teacup in his hand that was made from Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bamboo and asked indifferently.
"Yes. The Dark Asura Hall has gathered the Jasper Palace and the Xiahou Clan has attacked my Bai Clan. Now that my Bai Clan is in danger, I hope Uncle Yiwu can report to the Jiang Forefather and ask him to come out of seclusion and uphold justice for my Bai Clan." Bai Ziqing nodded and explained the purpose of their trip in detail.
"Ziqing, according to the relationship between our two great clans, my Jiang Clan naturally won't sit idly by when something happens to your Bai Clan. However, something happened to my Jiang Clan not long ago, causing the Forefather and my elder brother to enter seclusion. Without them at the helm, I really can't make the decision." Jiang Yiwu sighed softly and said with a troubled expression.
"Uncle Yiwu, this matter is too serious. Once our Bai Clan is destroyed, their next target will definitely be your Jiang Clan. For the sake of our two clans' future, I hope that Uncle Yiwu can report this matter to the Jiang Clan's Great Ancestor and Uncle Yixian." Bai Ziqing implored.
As he spoke, Ye Chenfeng secretly observed Jiang Yiwu from the corner of his eye. From his indifferent and evasive attitude, Ye Chenfeng felt that there was something wrong with him.
"Ai, alright then. You can stay in my Jiang Clan for now. I'll think of a way to inform the Forefather and my elder brother and ask them to make a decision." Jiang Yiwu sighed softly.
"Thank you, Uncle Yiwu!" Bai Ziqing and her brother said gratefully.
"Head Steward, arrange a quiet room for them to rest in," Jiang Yiwu ordered.
"Yes, Second House Lord!" Head Steward Jiang obeyed. "Please follow me."
With that, Head Steward Jiang led Ye Chenfeng, Bai Ziqing, and the others out of the main hall.
Jiang Yiwu's expression suddenly darkened as he watched Ye Chenfeng and the others leave. Rays of light shot out from his deep eyes as he revealed a strange smile.
