Ye Futian was very disappointed. The Holy Zhi Palace was willing to sacrifice not only Second Sister Zhuge Mingyue but also the entire Zhuge family in order to help Bai Luli.
Otherwise, why did the Holy Zhi Palace not interfere when the White Cloud City Lord came to Xuanwu City?
"The Holy Zhi Palace has no selfish motives," Sage Tianxing said plainly. The two Palace Lords of the Holy Zhi Palace were willing to do anything to raise a saint for the Barren State. He did not think that it was selfish.
This was the mission of the Holy Zhi Palace, a righteous cause. He understood that some of Ye Futian's words made sense, but some sacrifices were necessary to do something. This was unavoidable.
"What if I don't leave? What do you two plan to do?" Ye Futian did not argue and asked directly.
"Then we have no choice but to act," Sage Tianxing said.
Ye Futian smiled. He looked at the two Palace Lords of the Holy Zhi Palace in the air and said, "In that case, Palace Lords, please."
"Ye Futian, while Yuan Hong is 18th on the Barren Sky Ranking, the Sword Demon and I are also on the Barren Sky Ranking. Our rankings are not much lower than his. If we fight, Yuan Hong will definitely lose. Furthermore, did you not think that the White Cloud City Lord, who is fourth on the Barren Sky Ranking, would drag Taihang Mountain into this?" the Tianxing Palace Lord said.
"Ye Futian, just give up on this. If you become a saint in the future, you will naturally be able to get everything back." The Sword Demon looked at Ye Futian. He truly did not want Ye Futian to be dragged into this mess. Now that the storm was getting more and more intense, he was worried that if it continued, Ye Futian would not be able to escape unscathed.
It would be such a pity if he were to die in the Noble Plane.
"If he becomes a saint in the future, what is lost is lost. What is the point of everything? Palace Lords should understand that cultivators should follow their hearts. There are things that can be done and things that cannot be done. Since the Holy Zhi Palace has decided, there is no need for you two to hesitate." Ye Futian said, "Grandpa Yuan, you have not used the Nine Heavenly Attacks in a real battle. Today, I want to see your Nine Heavenly Attacks."
"Alright." Yuan Hong nodded. "Where will you see it?"
"Put it on Grandpa Ape." Ye Futian flashed and landed on Yuan Hong's shoulder. He was already trying to comprehend the powers of the Sage Plane, and now was the perfect time to truly experience a battle between top-notch Sage Plane sages. While he had comprehended many Sage Wills in the past, they were, after all, the power left behind by the Sages, and could not compare to a real battle.
Boom. Yuan Hong took a step forward and his body rose into the air, descending into the sky.
Sage Tianxing and the Sword Demon also flashed and flew up to face Yuan Hong. The confrontation between the three mighty ones ranked on the Barren Sky Ranking drew everyone's attention. Outside the City Lord Office, countless people looked up into the sky and shuddered.
Yuan Hong of Mount Taihang.
The Palace Lords of Tianxing Palace and Sword Palace of the Holy Zhi Palace.
The huge golden body stood tall in the sky, shrouding the place with its might. Yuan Hong extended his hand, and golden Spiritual Qi coalesced into a long staff. Boundless power emanated from his body.
Sage Tianxing did not dare to be careless. He naturally knew how powerful the Eighty-one Heaven-traversing Staff Techniques of the apes of Mount Taihang were, and it was an extremely overbearing offensive technique.
Golden lightning rained from his body, and a divine halberd appeared in his hand. Golden lightning burst from the halberd, like the light of punishment, imbued with incredible destructive power.
Furthermore, that power spread everywhere. Soon, the sky looked like it was the end of the world, and a terrifying scene was born. It was as if ordinary Sage Plane figures would be torn to pieces right there and then if they were to stand in that space.
Ye Futian stood on Yuan Hong's back, and a golden light shrouded his body, preventing him from being corroded by the attacks from the outside world.
Even so, Ye Futian was still able to feel the power of punishment rules in the air. It was similar to the power unleashed by the disciple of the Holy Zhi Palace when he was assassinated that day. However, the power unleashed by Sage Tianxing was much stronger. He had no doubt that if he dared to step out, a single ray of light would be able to destroy him right there and then.
"Punishment." Sage Tianxing uttered a cold voice. In an instant, the endless Light of Punishment rained down like countless crosses, like a curtain of rain, and there was no way to avoid it. Such a powerful spell could only be resisted with defensive power.
Ye Futian looked up at the descending Light of Punishment. Such a terrifying rule spell could easily wipe out an army, and that was what made top-notch cultivators so terrifying.
A terrifying martial will burst from Yuan Hong's body. He waved the staff in his hand, and endless shadows of the staff appeared in the air. The shadows of the staff seemed to have turned into a light shroud, shrouding his body within. A dull sound was heard from the sky, and the spectators inside and outside the White Cloud City Lord Office felt a suffocating pressure. The wind and clouds howled, and the power of the world roared. When the Light of Punishment rained down on the light shroud of the staff shadows, dazzling light burst, unable to penetrate it.
Sage Tianxing's eyes turned solemn all of a sudden. He felt an extremely terrifying pressure, and huge shadows of golden apes appeared in the air. They were all conjured by Yuan Zhan, and the people below naturally saw them as well. They knew that they were not real, but illusions of martial will.
However, when the huge golden apes waved their golden staffs, the visual impact made people feel as if the air was about to be torn apart by the staff. It was too shocking, and many people's hearts pounded.
"Yuan Hong is stronger than before." Sage Tianxing and the Sword Demon looked solemn as they looked at the shadows in the sky. Even more terrifying Light of Punishment rained down. Sage Tianxing gripped the halberd in his hand, and endless Light of Punishment fell on the halberd. The terrifying light penetrated the air, and the aura continued to grow.
"Sword Demon, we might have to team up," Sage Tianxing said.
The Sword Demon nodded. He had, of course, felt that the aura bursting from Yuan Hong's body was frighteningly strong.
A terrifying storm of swords burst in the air all of a sudden, wreaking havoc in the air, yet it was unable to break through the shadows of the staff.
"We can't wait any longer," Sage Tianxing said. His body disappeared as soon as he finished. He was incredibly fast, and the Sword Demon moved almost at the same time as him. The two of them went for Yuan Hong, one from the left and the other from the right.
At that moment, the thousands of shadows of the staff merged into one, splitting the sky and earth, covering everything around it. The air seemed to be on the verge of exploding.
The light of the halberd penetrated the air, and the Sword Demon's sword was ferocious and overbearing. Endless cyclones of the sword burst at the same time, tearing the air apart. However, when their attacks collided with the staff, they both felt extreme power. Boundless, wild power, and the two of them were sent flying.
"So powerful," Ye Futian thought. While Yuan Hong had not trained in the Nine Heavenly Attacks for as long as he had, Yuan Hong's plane was high, and his understanding of martial arts was far beyond Ye Futian's. Furthermore, the Nine Heavenly Attacks were an evolution of the 81 Forms of Heavenly Traversing. Yuan Hong had been immersed in it for many years, and it was only natural that he was familiar with it. Now, he had evolved an even stronger attack from the 81 Forms of Heavenly Traversing, and its power was naturally even more terrifying.
Sage Tianxing's arm felt a little numb. He knew how powerful his halberd techniques were, but before that staff technique, the Halberd of Punishment, which was known for its destructive power, could not break through his opponent's attack.
However, they found that Yuan Hong's attacks did not stop. He stepped in the air, and the violent aura from before did not dissipate, forming an even stronger martial arts will storm. The air felt suffocating.
Another staff swept out, and the shadows of the staff filled the air, smashing towards Sage Tianxing. Sage Tianxing's expression was extremely solemn. A beam of blazing light burst from his body, annihilating the air and heading towards Yuan Hong. At the same time, his halberd lashed out again, like a rainbow piercing through the sun, piercing through everything.
The blazing light was blocked by the shadow of the staff, and yet another earth-shattering collision was heard. Sage Tianxing was pushed back yet again, and Yuan Hong continued to step forward. His aura was unstoppable, and his incredibly huge body exerted a suffocating pressure. The third strike of the staff swept out, and Sage Tianxing's body was sent flying far away.
The Sword Demon did not continue to attack, but stared at Yuan Hong instead. His aura had yet to dissipate, and the pressure was getting stronger.
"Bang." A loud rumble was heard, and Yuan Hong stepped towards him. A devastating storm of sword aura appeared around the Sword Demon's body. Countless black shadows appeared in the air at the very next moment, and dark sword shadows appeared, cutting through the air and shrouding Yuan Hong from every angle.
Yuan Hong's staff swept out, and the shadows of the staff covered all directions, shattering all the sword aura.
Sage Tianxing took another step, and when he returned, he felt that the pressure on Yuan Hong's body had risen to an extreme. The staff in Yuan Hong's hand danced, and the shadows of the staff shrouded the vast space. At that moment, both Sage Tianxing and the Sword Demon felt that they were within the area covered by the staff will.
Boom!
A dull sound was heard as Yuan Hong's fifth staff smashed into the void. Before it even landed, the two of them felt countless staff shadows smashing into their bodies. They unleashed their strongest powers, and when the staff shadows materialized, the two of them felt an unstoppable force crashing down on them.
With a loud rumble, their bodies were thrown far away. They grunted, and blood flowed from the corners of their mouths. Their organs were all rattled, and their auras were unable to calm down for a long time.
One power to break all. While they had many tricks up their sleeves, none of them had the chance to use them before Yuan Hong's overbearing staff techniques.
"I'm afraid it's impossible for the two Palace Lords to make me leave White Cloud City," Ye Futian said, looking at Sage Tianxing and the Sword Demon, who were knocked back.
Both of them looked very serious. Yuan Hong's powers made them feel that he was no longer ranked 18th on the Barren Sky Ranking.
Below, the people of the White Cloud City Lord Office looked pale. Two Palace Lords of the Holy Zhi Palace had come personally, and yet they were still unable to drive him out of White Cloud City.
The people watching the battle outside the City Lord Office felt their hearts tremble violently. To many, being able to witness mighty ones on the Barren Sky Ranking fighting was a rare opportunity, and they saw it with their own eyes. Yuan Hong had knocked back two Palace Lords of the Holy Zhi Palace.
