Black Warrior City, outside Crouching Dragon Mountain.
The group stood in the air, looking at the Zhuge family on Crouching Dragon Mountain. The two young men at the front were two of the Nine Warriors of Zhisheng Cliffs, Qin Zhong and Zhan Xiao.
"Junior Brother, Martial Uncle and White Cloud City Lord should be able to take down Crouching Dragon Mountain, right?" Zhan Xiao smiled faintly as he watched the two figures walking towards Crouching Dragon Mountain in front of him.
The City Lord of White Cloud City was an interesting one. He had gone to White Cloud City to discuss terms and conditions, saying that if Bai Gu was willing to help, his Uncle-Master Kong Yao would help his son Bai Luli during the process of proving sainthood. It was apparent that Bai Gu was very tempted. Everyone in the Nine States knew how dangerous the process of proving sainthood was, and how many top-notch figures there were. His Uncle-Master was someone who ranked ninth on the Sage and Saint Ranking of the Nine States. Furthermore, Zhisheng Cliffs was a force to be reckoned with. If Kong Yao agreed to take care of Bai Luli, it would be equivalent to having another layer of protection for Bai Luli.
However, the White Cloud City Lord claimed that he would come to Xuanwu City to pressure Zhuge Qingfeng. If he could force the Zhuge Family to retreat without a fight and force Zhuge Qingfeng to hand over Gu Dongliu, then he would agree.
If there was a need to fight, he wanted the sacred item in Zhuge Qingfeng's hands.
If they did not go to war, they would not have completely fallen out with each other. Hence, they agreed to the first condition. If they went to war, the City Lord of White Cloud City obviously knew what that meant. Hence, once the battle started, he wanted to take Zhuge Qingfeng down immediately. The City Lord of White Cloud City was even more thoughtful than the City Lord of White Cloud City.
"Although the magic treasure in City Lord White Cloud's hand is not at the Saint-tier, it is still a Saint-tier treasure. In addition to Martial Uncle's strength, this battle is unfair to begin with. Naturally, there is no suspense." On Crouching Dragon Mountain, the two great cultivators had already descended. Countless people stood in the air outside, watching the battle. Their hearts were in turmoil.
Would the Zhuge Family be destroyed in this storm?
"Junior, let me give you another piece of advice. Gu Dongliu stole the sacred item from the sacred ground of Yu State and broke the divorce agreement with the Lu family. You should know what kind of person he is. It's not too late to change your mind. Hand him over and don't make a mistake." The White Cloud City Lord stood proudly in the air and looked down at the Zhuge family.
Zhuge Qingfeng stood there with a cold look in his eyes. He did not expect the person from the Barren State to come after him to be his senior.
The matters of the world were truly unpredictable and hard to grasp.
"Clan Leader, hand him over," many people from the Zhuge Clan said to Zhuge Qingfeng.
"Zhuge Qingfeng, are you really going to use the Zhuge Family as a wager just for one person?" Some of the older generation looked at Zhuge Qingfeng and said. Clearly, they agreed to hand over Gu Dongliu.
"There's no such thing as a perfect solution in this world. Since I've already made up my mind, there's no need to persuade me anymore," Zhuge Qingfeng said.
"Do you really want to send our Zhuge Family to its grave?" someone shouted.
"I haven't even tried, so how do I know that I will fail? If I lose, I hope that you and Kong Yao won't kill indiscriminately, considering that we are all from the Nine States' Divine Path," Zhuge Qingfeng said.
If he lost, he was willing to bet his life.
If they were to overcome this crisis and the Barren State returned to the era of saints, the Zhuge family would definitely have a saint.
He did not know what the relationship between Ye Futian and Emperor Ye Qing was, but no matter what, the Saint Plane was definitely not the end.
"Since you want to sacrifice yourself, I can only fulfill your wish," Bai Gu said indifferently. Suddenly, he and Kong Yao released towering pressure, covering the entire Crouching Dragon Mountain.
"Make your move," Zhuge Qingfeng said. The Eight Trigrams Matrix appeared, covering Crouching Dragon Mountain. Many shadows flashed at the same time.
Kong Yao stepped forward, and countless divine elephants seemed to be born between heaven and earth. The sky seemed to be on the verge of collapsing, and a heavy and boundless pressure shrouded everyone from the Zhuge Family.
Sages were able to communicate with heaven and earth. With just a thought, they could manifest the power of rules between heaven and earth.
"Wait."
At that moment, a voice was heard. Kong Yao frowned slightly. The White Cloud City Lord turned and saw a figure descending quickly. He could not help but frown and say, "Yun Hao, why are you here?"
"Ye Futian brought Yuan Hong from Taihang Mountain and many golden apes into White Cloud City to destroy the Gongsun Clan. They are now in the City Lord Office," Yun Hao said.
The White Cloud City Lord turned, and his expression instantly became extremely cold. Murderous intent filled the air.
"You said that Ye Futian and Yuan Hong are in my residence?" Bai Gu's voice was filled with extremely cold murderous intent.
"Yes." Yun Hao nodded. "He also asked me to bring word that if anything happens to his brothers and sisters, as long as the City Lord is involved, the City Lord Office will be buried with them."
Bai Gu raised his head and looked into the distance. A terrifying aura filled the air, and murderous intent roared in the air. No one had ever dared to attack White Cloud City. In the Barren State, other than the Holy Zhi Palace and the Ice Temple, he, Bai Gu, was ranked the highest on the Barren Sky Ranking.
Now, a kid in the Noble Plane had invaded his residence and used the lives of his family to threaten him, who was ranked fourth on the Barren Sky Ranking.
What a joke.
Yuan Hong was also looking to die.
"Brother Kong, I can only put this matter aside for now," Bai Gu said to Kong Yao. "I'll come back after I kill that kid."
Kong Yao frowned. They were about to make their move, but something unexpected happened. Who dared to touch White Cloud City?
Who was Ye Futian?
Why had he not heard of such a person before? He could not be a cultivator on the Barren Sky Ranking, could he? But who were his brothers and sisters?
Bai Gu walked away, leaving afterimages in his wake and killing intent. It was clear how angry the City Lord of White Cloud City was at the moment.
In the Zhuge Family, Zhuge Qingfeng also looked surprised. He did not expect that the kid would make a move in White Cloud City at this time, temporarily resolving the crisis here. However, Yuan Hong would probably have a hard time dealing with Bai Gu. Wouldn't he be putting himself in danger?
Gu Dongliu and Zhuge Mingyue looked at each other. They were worried that their little brother had gone to White Cloud City.
"This all started because of me." Gu Dongliu sighed. If it really reached a certain point, he would take care of it himself.
"Don't think too much about it." Zhuge Mingyue held his hand and said, "Little brother knows what he's doing. He won't do things that he can't do."
"Yeah." Gu Dongliu nodded lightly. Although he was already an upper-level sage, his plane was still too low.
Kong Yao glanced at Zhuge Qingfeng. The Zhuge Family was really lucky. He walked back and the pressure on the Zhuge Family disappeared.
Kong Yao came before Zhan Xiao and asked, "Who is Ye Futian?"
Zhan Xiao had come to the Barren State before him, so he should know something about the situation.
Zhan Xiao had a strange look on his face. He did know who Ye Futian was, but it was because he knew that it was strange. A noble had actually changed the situation here and ruined his plans.
"Gu Dongliu's little brother. He used to cultivate in the Holy Zhi Palace, but was expelled because of the grudge between Bai Luli and Gu Dongliu. According to many people in the Barren State, he is now the number one noble in the Barren State." Zhan Xiao said, "However, a noble dared to interfere in the affairs of Zhisheng Cliffs and threaten the City Lord of White Cloud City. He really doesn't know what's good for him."
"Noble?" Kong Yao had a strange look on his face. He found it funny that a noble had ruined their plans.
"The number one noble in the Barren State?" Qin Zhong was also curious. "That means that Ximen Hanjiang of the Holy Zhi Palace is not the strongest noble in the Barren State."
Before, when he had crushed Ximen Hanjiang, he had asked if the disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace represented the highest level in the Barren State. Liu Chan did not answer directly, and the disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace did not seem to admit it either.
"Before Ximen Hanjiang, the number one on the Law Rank of the Holy Zhi Palace was Ye Futian. Ximen Hanjiang was replaced by him. It is said that the difference in talent between Ximen Hanjiang and Ye Futian is huge, and they cannot be compared at all." Zhan Xiao said, "Of course, no matter how outstanding he is, he cannot be compared to you, little brother. There is no need for you to care about the nobles of the Barren State."
"It's not that I care." Qin Zhong shook his head slightly. The number one noble in the Barren State? He wanted to see for himself. Although he did not think that there was any noble in the Barren State who could be stronger than him, if he could be called the number one, he must be very powerful.
"Let's wait for Bai Gu to settle things over there," Kong Yao said calmly. He was a little impatient. He had wanted to settle things with the Barren State as soon as possible, but he did not expect things to get messy again.
…
The people of the Holy Zhi Palace had arrived before Bai Gu in White Cloud City.
Sage Tianxing and the Sword Demon led many mighty ones from the two palaces to the sky above the City Lord Office. The people of the Bai Clan were overjoyed to see the people from the Holy Zhi Palace.
Ye Futian, who was in the City Lord Office, felt his heart turn cold when he saw the figures in the sky.
He stood on the ground and looked at the mighty ones in the sky quietly. He did not say anything and looked very calm. That day at the Zhuge Clan, he had said that if the matter with his Third Brother was settled, he would not make an enemy of the Holy Zhi Palace.
Now, two Palace Lords from the Holy Zhi Palace had come to White Cloud City personally. He naturally knew that they were not here to help him.
He knew very well what the appearance of the two Palace Lords meant. It meant that he could give up on the Zhuge Clan, but he could not touch the Bai Clan.
The Sword Demon saw the young man looking at them calmly and was speechless. It was a fact that the Holy Zhi Palace's stance had changed, but since it was a decision made by the two Palace Lords, there was nothing he could do.
The Grand Palace Lord had sustained injuries that could not be healed, and there was no telling how long he could last. He hoped to see a saint emerge in his lifetime, and that was the wish of everyone in the Holy Zhi Palace.
"Ye Futian, what you have been doing recently has been too presumptuous. Leave White Cloud City immediately, and the Holy Zhi Palace will pretend that nothing happened," Sage Tianxing said, looking at Ye Futian. Sage Tianxing looked at Ye Futian and said. He was in charge of punishments in the Holy Zhi Palace and had a cold, authoritative aura about him.
"How have I been presumptuous?" Ye Futian looked at Sage Tianxing. This time, he did not salute or greet him, but asked him directly.
"Destroying the Ning Clan and the Gongsun Clan, and allowing Taihang Mountain to invade White Cloud City, stirring up chaos in the Barren State," Sage Tianxing said.
"If what you said is true, then should I have allowed the Ning Clan and the Gongsun Clan to kill me, and the Zhuge Clan to be destroyed by the City Lord of White Cloud City, and then it wouldn't be considered stirring up chaos in the Barren State?" Ye Futian looked at Sage Tianxing and said, "Senior, you are in charge of punishment in the Holy Zhi Palace, and the Holy Zhi Palace has a high status in the Barren State. However, the Holy Zhi Palace did not care about the one who started the conflict, but came to me instead. What is this?"
"You are getting more and more presumptuous. The Assistant Palace Lord has already done his part by telling us not to hurt you, seeing that you were once a student of the Holy Zhi Palace," Sage Tianxing said.
"I entered White Cloud City, and the Holy Zhi Palace did not hurt me, but what about the City Lord of White Cloud City?" Ye Futian smiled and said, "Would the Holy Zhi Palace take the wrath of the City Lord of White Cloud City for me?"
Sage Tianxing did not say anything. Ye Futian let out a self-deprecating smile and said, "The Holy Zhi Palace has a grudge against both sides, and the Holy Zhi Palace only restrains one side. What a joke."
"If people have selfish motives, their actions are destined to be unjust. Now that the Holy Zhi Palace has selfish motives, there is no need to use righteousness to restrain others." Ye Futian said slowly, "When the two Palace Lords appeared here, the Holy Zhi Palace was no longer a sacred ground."
