Lu Wang led his people to Nine Cloud Palace. Everyone in Starry School was guessing if Nine Cloud Palace would hand over Ye Futian.
Outside the court, Chen Yuan said, "Gather all the experts and have them wait outside the Starry Hall."
"Yes, College Chief." Everyone nodded, knowing that this matter was about to get out of hand.
It seemed that the college chief thought that Nine Cloud Palace would not hand over Ye Futian even if Lu Wang went.
They also knew Nine Cloud Palace Master Jin Chengfeng's personality. Starry School had directly broken off relations with Nine Cloud Palace and ordered Lu Wang to get Ye Futian. The entire Divine Sky City was watching. It was very likely that Lu Wang would not hand over Ye Futian. Otherwise, Nine Cloud Palace would lose face.
The college chief had gathered all the experts to wait outside the Starry Hall. He was preparing to attack Nine Cloud Palace.
"Should you all go back and prepare?" Chen Yuan asked Gu Hanshan.
The Son, Ye Futian, had been recommended to the Starry School by the West Mountain Dragon Clan and the Gu Clan to be conferred the title of the Son. Now that the Starry School was protecting Ye Futian on the Divine Path, the two clans would naturally not think of staying out of this.
"Yunxi was also heavily injured during the assassination. I won't let it go. I'll go back now," Gu Hanshan said.
"I'll bring some people too." Madame Long also left.
"Return to the Starry Hall. Ye Futian, go back and wait for news," Chen Yuan said.
"Yes, College Chief." Ye Futian nodded. The group dispersed from the court one after another.
Chen Yuan returned to the Starry Hall and stood outside. A few figures walked over, all important figures of Starry School. Elder Nie walked to Chen Yuan's side and asked, "College Chief, why are you like this?"
He knew what everything that had happened today meant. Blazing Sun School and Bright Moon School had been eyeing Starry School. Starry School's strength had been greatly reduced. If they started a war with Nine Cloud Palace, no one could predict what would happen next.
Chen Yuan looked up into the distance, his eyes misty. He said slowly, "After the Saint, the Sacred School was divided into three. The seven clans infiltrated it. For countless years, the Top Three Schools have never been truly glorious. Although they are sacred grounds in the eastern region of the Barren State, they are nothing in the vast Barren State. Back then, my disciple Long Yitian was so talented, but he also died on the Divine Path.
"Since ancient times, there have been many geniuses, including my master, who have pursued the Divine Path. I know that my talent is limited and the Divine Path is out of my reach. How many Divine Paths are there in the Barren State?" Chen Yuan's voice was solemn as he continued, "Today, a saint has descended before me and received the inheritance of the Divine Path. This is an opportunity that has only come once in many years. How can I miss it? Putting aside the fact that I personally want to witness the Divine Path, if a saint is born in the school, the Starry School will have another Divine Road. When that time comes, the top figures of the Barren State will not only head for the Holy Zhi Palace, but also cultivate in the Starry School. When that time comes, the Top Three Schools will unite once again and restore the glory of the era of the ancient saints. Don't you want to witness this scene with your own eyes?"
Elder Nie nodded. "Since we've been cultivating in the Academy and have not established our own clans, we're here to educate the people of the world. At the same time, we're also seeking our own Dao. Naturally, we want to see the Divine Path." How could they not look forward to seeing the ethereal Divine Path? It was just that they felt that it was too far away.
"Knowing the Way in the morning, one can die in the evening." Chen Yuan smiled and said, "If I can witness the birth of the Divine Path in the Starry School, I will have no regrets in this life."
"I hope so. It's just that the Divine Path is easier said than done." Elder Nie smiled bitterly. "Not to mention the Divine Path, to be able to enter the Sage Plane means that one's state of mind and comprehension are extraordinary. The path he has to walk is still too long."
"The path is long, and we've been cultivating for many years. Why would we care about this little bit of time? Although the Jin Clan has not said anything, there has long been a rift between the younger generation and the Son. Moreover, Ye Futian was sent to the Academy by the Dragon Clan. It's only a matter of time before something happens. They will definitely not let Ye Futian grow. It's only a matter of time before they break off their relationship with the Nine Cloud Palace. It's just that this storm has been brought forward." Chen Yuan smiled.
"It seems that the College Chief has already thought of everything." Elder Nie did not say much. At that moment, the elders of the Starry School gradually came over. They had all heard the conversation between the two. It was obvious that Chen Yuan had intentionally told them.
After a while, Lu Wang returned with his people. There was no sign of Jin Yunxiao. It was obvious that the Nine Cloud Palace had once again rejected the Starry School's request to take Jin Yunxiao.
"Let's go." Chen Yuan did not say anything else. He immediately led his people and set off for the Nine Cloud Palace.
…
The Nine Cloud Palace was majestic and extravagant.
At the peak of the Nine Cloud Palace, in the golden Cloud Ancient Hall, Jin Chengfeng's face was dark. The various cultivators of the Jin Clan had gathered there, their expressions solemn.
"Reporting to the Clan Leader, the Starry School, the Gu Clan, and the West Mountain Dragon Clan have all led their people in the direction of the Nine Cloud Palace." Someone bowed to Jin Chengfeng, who was sitting in the golden hall.
"Chen Yuan, you're really presumptuous."
Jin Chengfeng's eyes were golden and extremely sharp. His gaze seemed to penetrate the void and stare into the distance.
Chen Yuan had actually chosen Ye Futian, a junior in the Arcana Plane, between the Jin Clan and Ye Futian.
Moreover, his goal was not to do anything to Ye Futian. He only wanted Chen Yuan to stop pursuing the matter. He had always been proud and arrogant. Naturally, he would not hand over Jin Yunxiao to suffer such humiliation. Therefore, he had threatened Chen Yuan.
But he had never thought that Chen Yuan would make such a crazy decision.
"Has Chen Yuan gone mad?" An elder said angrily. Although Jin Yunxiao had participated in the matter, he had not personally sent people to assassinate Ye Futian. He had only used the Yunyue Business Alliance, and Chen Yuan had actually caused such a commotion.
"Now is not the time to pursue that. How should we deal with it?" someone asked calmly.
Now, the Starry School, the Gu Clan, and the Dragon Clan had joined forces. Even if it was the home ground of the Nine Cloud Palace, it would still be useless. Were they really going to fight?
Many people were silent. Clearly, the Nine Cloud Palace was not ready for war.
Even if they did, they would definitely lose.
They had forced Chen Yuan before, but now, it was Chen Yuan who was forcing them.
Who was the one with the greater determination?
In the distance, the wind and clouds surged, and a group of cultivators appeared. They looked at the dazzling Nine Cloud Palace. The people of the Starry School had arrived.
Then, a dragon's roar shook the heavens. The cultivators of the West Mountain Dragon Clan had arrived.
In another direction, the cultivators of the Gu Clan had also arrived. The three forces landed outside the Nine Cloud Palace.
The soldiers were at the gates.
Jin Chengfeng stood up and walked forward, stepping on a golden cloud. Beside him was Jin Ze of the Starry School, who had led his people out of the school.
"You guys really want to fight?" Jin Chengfeng looked around at the cultivators of the three forces.
"Jin Chengfeng, Jin Yunxiao is also a disciple of the Starry School. He participated in the assassination of the Son, but you hid him and refused to hand him over. My beloved daughter, Gu Yunxi, almost lost her life because of this. Now, are you still not willing to hand him over?" Gu Hanshan stood on one side, his body exuding a condescending aura. As the leader of the Gu Clan, Gu Hanshan was not an ordinary person.
"Chen Yuan, how do you plan to deal with Jin Yunxiao?" Jin Chengfeng asked.
"He murdered the Son. He deserves death," Chen Yuan said.
"Deserves death? Over the years, the Jin Clan of the Nine Cloud Palace has done so much for the Starry School. With a word from you, you wipe out everything and expel the Jin Clan. Chen Yuan, you have done well." Jin Chengfeng's tone was sharp.
"If not for what happened today, perhaps that would be the case. After the incident, Jin Ze led the Jin Clan and left. He even brought many disciples who did not bear the surname of the Jin Clan with him. Are they disciples of the Starry School or the Nine Cloud Palace? Is the Jin Clan working for the Starry School or the Jin Clan? "
Chen Yuan looked at Jin Chengfeng. "I came here today for two things. One is for Jin Yunxiao. Two, the Jin Clan wants to return to the Nine Cloud Palace. I will not pursue this matter. However, those who do not bear the surname of the Jin have enjoyed the cultivation resources of the Starry School. Now, they have followed the Jin Clan to the Nine Cloud Palace. This is no different from rebellion. As such, I will bring all disciples who came to the Nine Cloud Palace but are not from the Jin Clan back to the Starry School. "
As soon as he said this, the Starry School disciples from the Nine Cloud Palace who had come with the Jin Clan felt their hearts tremble.
The Starry School Chief, Chen Yuan, had never interfered with the affairs of the school. As the school was a place of cultivation, he would not ask about the future of the disciples, nor would he force them to stay. That was why they had followed the Jin Clan to the Nine Cloud Palace. However, they did not expect the Chief to be so forceful this time.
"Chen Yuan." Jin Chengfeng's voice was extremely cold.
"The disciples you trained in the Starry School are going to be used against the Starry School. Is that possible?" Chen Yuan's voice was very calm. "If you do not hand them over, I will have no choice but to take action."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sky above the Nine Cloud Palace shone with starlight. A starry world appeared. In an instant, the Nine Cloud Palace, which was bathed in the light of the sun, seemed to be shrouded in darkness.
This was the power of a powerful Sage Plane figure. With a single thought, the heavens and the earth could change color and create strange phenomena.
The moment the starry sky appeared, everyone within Nine Firmaments Palace felt a formidable pressure bearing down on them. It was as though an incomparably terrifying gravitational space was pressing down on their bodies, making it difficult for them to move. Those with weaker cultivation bases found it difficult to even take a step forward.
Jin Chengfeng's figure leapt up into the sky and the silhouette of an incomparably massive divine bird appeared. Next, it seemingly transformed into a real divine bird, the Golden-winged Roc. It cleaved the darkness of the night and golden light shone down upon the world, enveloping Nine Firmaments Palace.
The divine bird's body was bathed in endless golden light. The flowing golden light was extremely sharp, and it cut the gravitational space apart.
In the sky, there seemed to be two god-like figures confronting each other.
"Jin Chengfeng, do you want the Nine Cloud Palace to be destroyed?" Gu Hanshan took a step forward and said. The people of the Nine Cloud Palace all looked extremely embarrassed. The Starry School alone was enough to shake the Nine Cloud Palace. In addition, the cultivators of the Gu Clan and the Dragon Clan were also clans. If a war really broke out, the most luxurious place in the Divine Sky City would probably collapse and be destroyed.
In the distance, countless people looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky, and all of them felt their hearts tremble.
Were the Starry School and the Nine Cloud Palace really going to war?
