Kong Yao's aura was cold and authoritative. He stared at Zhuge Qingfeng and said, "Zhisheng Cliffs will make their own judgment on what is right and wrong. I will repeat myself. Let me take him away."
Zhuge Qingfeng looked at him. He naturally knew who Kong Yao was. He was ninth on the Sage Ranking of the Nine States.
He, too, understood the weight of a sacred item. There was no need to distinguish between right and wrong in this matter. A man's wealth was his own ruin. Furthermore, Gu Dongliu had taken the sacred item from Zhan Xiao's hands. Even someone at Kong Yao's level would not have been able to possess a sacred item if he had not come from a family of saints. It was because Zhisheng Cliffs had saints, so it would not have been his turn.
In front of the Holy Item, not to mention Zhan Xiao killing all the Sages, even if Kong Yao was present, he would not have shown any mercy.
Therefore, expressing his attitude was enough. There was no need to explain too much.
"Forgive me for not being able to comply." Zhuge Qingfeng replied right away. In an instant, the sky above Crouching Dragon Mountain was filled with a faint sense of oppression. Countless people outside the clan looked over and felt the oppressive aura. Will the super powerful existence from Zhisheng Cliffs fight Zhuge Qingfeng, who is ranked sixth on the Barren Sky Ranking, in the Zhuge Family?
A wave of pressure was released from Kong Yao's body. In an instant, all the members of the Zhuge family on Crouching Dragon Mountain felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on their heads.
Kong Yao lifted his foot and took a step forward. With just a single step, the rules of the Great Path descended. A loud rumbling sound rang out, and Crouching Dragon Mountain actually shook.
"Pu."
Many of the weaker members of the Zhuge Family turned pale and spat out blood. Their bodies swayed as they raised their heads to look at the figure standing proudly in the sky. Was this really something that a human could do? He had only taken one step, and it was already so terrifying.
"Are you sure?" Kong Yao's eyes were sharp as he stared straight at Zhuge Qingfeng. Similarly, a terrifying pressure descended upon Zhuge Qingfeng, even suppressing his Spiritual Will power.
Ye Futian had never fought someone of that level who ranked ninth on the Sage Ranking before. Kong Yao's combat prowess was probably at least in the third class of the Barren Sky Ranking, or perhaps even comparable to the first on the Barren Sky Ranking. It was worth noting that the Sage Ranking consisted of the 81 strongest sages in all of the nine states. Only one person from each state in all of the nine states was on the Sage Ranking, which meant that there were nine of them.
He was the number one in the Barren State, but he might not be able to make it to the ninth place on the Sage Ranking.
For the Barren State, Kong Yao's combat ability was definitely at the top.
Zhuge Qingfeng's expression was extremely serious. His body shone brilliantly, and Crouching Dragon Mountain suddenly lit up with the light of a matrix. In the depths of Crouching Dragon Mountain, there seemed to be a mysterious power being released. Blue light enveloped Zhuge Qingfeng's body, and then the entire Crouching Dragon Mountain was lit up. Countless runes shone on Crouching Dragon Mountain. It was an extremely huge matrix — the Eight Trigrams Matrix.
Streaks of afterimages appeared on Zhuge Qingfeng's body, turning into many lightning clones that stood at different positions on the Eight Trigrams Matrix. One begot two, two begot three, and the cycle continued. The entire matrix was filled with Zhuge Qingfeng's silhouettes.
"I'm sure." Zhuge Qingfeng said with a firm voice. As a top-notch Sage Plane figure, once he had made up his mind on something, he would not be easily swayed.
It would not be easy for Zhisheng Cliffs to shake the Zhuge Family.
"A sacred item."
Kong Yao felt the power and knew that the Zhuge Family had a sacred item. While Zhuge Qingfeng was unable to bring the true power of the sacred item to bear, he could still use it to unleash unparalleled power. At that moment, the Eight Trigrams Matrix that enveloped Crouching Dragon Mountain gave off an unshakable feeling.
Zhuge Qingfeng extended his palm, and all the silhouettes did so at the same time. In the next moment, terrifying lightning flashed on every single one of them, shrouding the entire place and covering all the mighty ones of Zhisheng Cliffs who were standing in the air. The destructive lightning was like the light of catastrophe that pierced through heaven and earth. Many mighty ones of Zhisheng Cliffs felt their spiritual wills trembling. The light of catastrophe contained terrifying spiritual attacks that seemed to be wreaking havoc in their minds. If Zhuge Qingfeng were to really make a move, it would be a disaster.
It was apparent that this was a response to Kong Yao's previous attack, or at least a reminder to Kong Yao.
"Boom."
Kong Yao took another step forward, and huge shadows of divine elephants appeared in the air, crashing down on the Eight Trigrams Matrix, causing it to shake violently. However, the matrix emanated unparalleled light, and the power of the attack seemed to have spread throughout the entire matrix, making it indestructible.
Almost at the same time, Kong Yao's body disappeared. The people below were unable to see his movements at all. It was as if he had disappeared from the ground and teleported in an instant, appearing right before Zhuge Qingfeng in the air.
He clenched his fist slightly and threw a punch. Divine elephants appeared around his fist, seeming to be able to shake the heavens and earth.
Zhuge Qingfeng raised his hand and threw a punch as well. He did not dodge.
Boom!
As the punch landed, the entire Crouching Dragon Mountain shook. The two fists collided, and the light of the matrix of Crouching Dragon Mountain shot into the sky. The light of the entire matrix gathered on Zhuge Qingfeng's body, causing his long robe and black hair to billow.
At that moment, Zhuge Qingfeng felt that it was not Kong Yao who was throwing a punch at him, but an incredibly huge divine elephant.
Kong Yao's arm trembled continuously, and in an instant, it seemed as if he had thrown nine consecutive punches. The divine elephant trampled everything, roaring in Zhuge Qingfeng's mind, wanting to trample him to death. It was extremely shocking.
At the same time, boundless destructive light of catastrophe appeared on Kong Yao's body, flowing all over his body.
"Bang." A strong light burst, and Zhuge Qingfeng's figure exploded and disappeared. Kong Yao's body returned to its original spot, as if he had never moved.
An illusory figure appeared once again, turning into Zhuge Qingfeng. It was as if the figure that was destroyed was not his actual body, but an illusion. However, that attack was clearly Zhuge Qingfeng himself.
"As expected of a holy item. Below the level of a holy item, its defense is flawless." Kong Yao glanced at Zhuge Qingfeng. With the protection of such a holy item, he was almost invincible and could not be killed.
The people of the Zhuge Family of Crouching Dragon Mountain looked at the battlefield in the void. They deeply felt Kong Yao's strength. He was able to shake a holy item with his own strength. This was also the first time most of them had seen the power of a holy item. It was said that the Holy Zhi Palace and the White Cloud City Lord had arranged for Bai Luli and Zhuge Mingyue to marry each other in order to get this item from the Zhuge Family.
With Bai Luli's talent, if he were to cultivate to the pinnacle of the Sage Plane and have the holy item of the Holy Zhi Palace, he would very likely be invincible among those below the Saint Plane. There was a high chance that he would succeed. No wonder the big figures of the Barren State were willing to make this happen. They wanted to create a Saint.
"You can't take him away. Everyone, please go back," Zhuge Qingfeng looked at Kong Yao and said. He had already experienced the terror of the ninth on the Sage Ranking with that attack.
A simple punch seemed to contain the power of rules of the Great Path, crushing everything in its path. If not for the protection of the holy item, it would have been difficult for him to resist.
"Since I'm here, I won't leave until I take him away," Kong Yao said forcefully. He then turned around and said to the people of Zhisheng Cliffs, "Let's go."
Zhan Xiao glanced at Zhuge Qingfeng and Gu Dongliu coldly. With the holy item, the Zhuge Family now had two holy items.
Qin Zhong looked very calm. They left Crouching Dragon Mountain but did not leave Xuanwu City. They landed in an inn in Xuanwu City outside Crouching Dragon Mountain. The guests in the inn immediately left. They did not dare to offend the big figures of Zhisheng Cliffs. Who knew if they would offend them?
"The Zhuge Family has this holy item. I'm afraid it will be difficult," Qin Zhong said.
"Zhan Xiao, you have been in the Barren State for some time. Do you have any suggestions?" Kong Yao looked at Zhan Xiao and said. While they could drag it out with the Zhuge Family, he did not have the energy to do so. He still hoped to resolve the matter quickly.
"The day I found Gu Dongliu was not his engagement banquet. It was the engagement of Bai Luli and Zhuge Mingyue from White Cloud City of the Barren State. It was arranged by the Holy Zhi Palace and White Cloud City for the holy item on Zhuge Qingfeng. However, Gu Dongliu came to snatch the bride and Bai Luli gave up. However, I'm sure the City Lord of White Cloud City, who is ranked fourth on the Barren Sky Ranking, was very dissatisfied with this. It is said that he was very resentful when he left," Zhan Xiao said.
"Bai Luli is the one who is ranked tenth on the Barren Sky Ranking due to his potential." Kong Yao obviously knew a little about the Barren Sky Ranking.
"Indeed." Zhan Xiao nodded.
"It seems that the Holy Zhi Palace is eager to cultivate a saint. The City Lord of White Cloud City is Bai Luli's father, so he naturally hopes that Bai Luli becomes a saint." Kong Yao smiled and said, "Make a trip to the White Cloud City and tell him that if he succeeds, I can take care of Bai Luli on his journey to becoming a Saint. If this doesn't move him, then if we manage to obtain the Zhuge Family's relic, it will belong to him."
"Yes, Uncle-Master." Zhan Xiao smiled and said. White Cloud City had always wanted the holy item of the Zhuge Family. Now that there was a chance, there was no way they would let it go.
Of course, it would have been even better if White Cloud City had agreed to the first condition. They would have been able to take two holy items with them.
Zhan Xiao left Xuanwu City and headed for White Cloud City. At the same time, he told the world about the 'crimes' that Gu Dongliu had committed. Gu Dongliu obviously had his reservations and did not dare to tell the truth. As such, Zhan Xiao decided to conclude the matter first. If that was the case, then what was false would also be true.
Soon, news spread that the City Lord of White Cloud City, Bai Gu, had left White Cloud City and returned to Xuanwu City of the Zhuge Family after a few months.
This matter caused a stir in the Barren State. Xuanwu City's Crouching Dragon Mountain seemed to have become a lonely mountain. Soldiers surrounded the city, and it seemed that the mountain was in danger of being overturned at any time.
On Taihang Mountain, Ye Futian was still focused on his training. He hoped to become a sage as soon as possible. At the moment, he was completely focused on comprehending the rules of sages, and he had already gained some understanding. However, when the news from Crouching Dragon Mountain came, the peace in his heart was instantly shattered.
The City Lord of White Cloud City had actually participated in this matter and joined forces with Zhisheng Cliffs, the sacred ground of Yu State.
A violent tremor was heard on Taihang Mountain. A group of huge golden apes rose into the air, and there were people standing on their backs.
