Sage Tianxing and the Sword Demon's eyes were fixed on the battlefield in the air. The Sword Demon had watched Ye Futian's battle four years ago when he entered the Holy Zhi Palace. He knew that the staff technique used by Yuan Hong was the same as the one used by Ye Futian back then. That was probably where the two of them came from. The staff technique was naturally suited for the ape, and it was obvious that it was an enhancement of the 81 Forms of Heaven-traversing Techniques.
Could it be that Yuan Hong valued Ye Futian's talent and taught him the staff technique?
Could it be that Mount Taihang also wanted to create a saint?
Terrifying auras coursed through the air, and countless people shuddered. Yuan Hong, ranked 18th on the Barren Sky Ranking, had defeated someone ranked fourth on the Barren Sky Ranking. How could anyone not be shocked? No wonder Yuan Hong and Ye Futian dared to come to White Cloud City.
The White Cloud City Lord raised his head and looked at the golden body. The killing intent in his cold eyes was even more terrifying. He had actually been forced to retreat by this evil creature.
He was ranked fourth on the Barren Sky Ranking. The City Lord of White Cloud City was renowned throughout the Barren State, and there was no one in the world who did not know of him. After so many years, he once again fought against a mighty one ranked on the Barren Sky Ranking. The entire Barren State was watching. How could he lose this battle?
A black storm of destruction hung in the sky, and the entire void turned gray. Behind the City Lord of White Cloud City, the light of a spell scroll shone brightly. Instantly, many scrolls appeared and lined up together. Then, from the scrolls, illusory figures appeared. They were all the figures of the City Lord of White Cloud City.
A pair of huge gray eyes appeared in the sky, and all the power in the world surged into them. It was as if this place had become a world of Eye Sorcery.
Countless silhouettes of the City Lord of White Cloud City appeared in Yuan Hong's mind, intending to imprison his Spiritual Energy. At the same time, devastating storms raged in the outside world.
Yuan Hong felt that his spiritual will was unstable, but an even more terrifying storm coursed about him. He stood there, and countless Golden Apes appeared around him, wielding their staffs. An unstoppable force emanated, and Yuan Hong's body seemed to have resonated with the entire space around him. He looked up and let out a howl. Rumbling sounds were heard, and countless Golden Apes howled at the sky. Yuan Hong's body grew even larger, growing to hundreds of meters tall. He looked like a real Golden God, standing between the sky and the earth. The power of the world that had been locked seemed to have broken free.
"Kill!" The City Lord of White Cloud City spat out a silhouette coldly, and an endless spiritual will shadow rushed into Yuan Hong's mind.
"Kill!" Yuan Hong roared as well, and the Polearm of Divine Destruction smashed down towards the City Lord of White Cloud City below. Many people shuddered in fear. They knew very well that if neither side could kill the other in this battle, it would end in peace. Both sides would have their reservations, but if they could kill the other, they would not show mercy and would kill right away.
Above the firmament, the destructive storm drowned out the space. The golden body that resembled a demon god blasted out a strike that could destroy the heavens. The hearts of many people pounded, it was as though this strike was going to destroy them as well. The scene in the void was too dazzling and shocking.
Muffled sounds rang out as a formless storm swept through the air. Many people below closed their eyes, feeling that the storm was about to engulf them as well.
Everything calmed down after a long while. Yuan Hong's aura fluctuated in the air, but his golden body remained standing firmly in the air. The City Lord of White Cloud City flew far away. His face was pale, and there were dark red bloodstains on his clothes.
"The White Cloud City Lord has lost." Many people's hearts pounded. The White Cloud City, who was ranked fourth on the Barren Sky Ranking, had lost to Yuan Hong of Taihang Mountain. Was the Barren State really going to be shaken? The rankings on the Barren Sky Ranking were going to change.
If the rankings were to be rearranged, Yuan Hong would probably be able to replace the White Cloud City Lord after this battle and be ranked fourth on the Barren Sky Ranking.
The eyes of Sage Tianxing and the Sword Demon froze there as well. That battle had made their hearts tremble. Yuan Hong of Taihang Mountain had come out to protect Ye Futian, and his stance was firm. Now, he had declared his existence by defeating the City Lord of White Cloud City. As such, even the Holy Zhi Palace would not be able to ignore his existence.
"You want to destroy Taihang Mountain?" Yuan Hong's voice was still loud and clear as he stared coldly at the White Cloud City Lord.
The White Cloud City Lord's expression was ugly. If he could not kill Yuan Hong, how could he destroy Taihang Mountain?
If he destroyed Taihang Mountain, Yuan Hong could destroy White Cloud City right now.
No one was alone.
"Bai Gu, if you interfere with my Third Brother's affairs after this battle, don't blame me for taking action against Bai Luli," Ye Futian threatened coldly. If the White Cloud City Lord dared to take action against Gu Dongliu again, he would not hold back.
Sage Tianxing and the Sword Demon's eyes froze when they heard Ye Futian's words. Bai Luli was more than just the Young City Lord of White Cloud City. Ye Futian's words meant that he was willing to stand against the Holy Zhi Palace.
The Sword Demon sighed inwardly. If Yuan Hong had been destroyed, things would have been much simpler. But now, the situation in the Barren State would be even more chaotic. Even Kong Yao had come to Zhisheng Cliffs in person. There was no way they would let the matter rest so easily.
"Grandpa Yuan, let's go," Ye Futian called out. Yuan Hong nodded and lowered his body. Ye Futian leaped onto his back, and the demonic beasts from Taihang Mountain left. The City Lord's Office of White Cloud City rumbled and shook, as if it was on the verge of collapse. The reputation of White Cloud City, which was once renowned, would be greatly diminished after this battle.
Taihang Mountain's name would be known throughout the world.
The White Cloud City Lord clenched his fists as he watched Ye Futian and Yuan Hong leave. The murderous intent in his eyes was still terrifying, but the Sword Demon cupped his hands and said, "Bai Gu, we will return to the Holy Zhi Palace to report."
"Alright." The White Cloud City Lord nodded, and the people from the Holy Zhi Palace left as well. However, White Cloud City did not calm down for a long time.
Moreover, the news of the battle spread at an unparalleled speed, spreading to the Barren State.
…
Gu Dongliu and Zhuge Mingyue had been very worried about the Zhuge Family, and Zhuge Qingfeng was also very uneasy.
Ye Futian had brought Yuan Hong from Taihang Mountain to White Cloud City, and while it had resolved the urgent situation, now that the White Cloud City Lord had returned, how were Ye Futian and Yuan Hong going to deal with it?
At that moment, two figures descended from the sky above Crouching Dragon Mountain. Many looked up into the sky, and the two figures turned out to be demonic beasts. One was a Golden Ape, and the other was a Black Wind Condor.
"From Taihang Mountain?" someone from the Zhuge Family asked. The Golden Ape was the symbol of Taihang Mountain.
Zhuge Qingfeng, Gu Dongliu, and the others took to the sky and looked at the Black Wind Condor. Zhuge Mingyue said, "That's Little Brother's demonic beast."
The Black Wind Condor swooped down and landed before Zhuge Qingfeng and the others. It said, "Master asked me to come here in advance to monitor the situation. If Bai Gu touches the Zhuge Family, they will destroy White Cloud City."
The Black Wind Condor's words made Zhuge Qingfeng's heart tremble. He asked, "You and your master's minds are connected?"
"Yes." The Black Wind Condor nodded.
Zhuge Qingfeng's heart trembled slightly. Ye Futian was obviously serious this time. He had already asked the Golden Ape Sage to bring the Black Wind Condor to Crouching Dragon Mountain, and he himself had gone to White Cloud City with Yuan Hong.
"How is Little Brother doing?" Gu Dongliu asked. Since their minds were connected, he naturally knew what was going on in White Cloud City.
"The Holy Zhi Palace intervened and sent Sage Tianxing and the Sword Demon to White Cloud City to let Master leave. He fought with Senior Yuan Hong and was defeated. After that, the White Cloud City Lord returned and fought a similar battle. The White Cloud City Lord lost," the Black Wind Condor said.
"What?" Zhuge Qingfeng's eyes gleamed. "You're saying that Yuan Hong defeated Bai Gu?"
"Yes. Now, Senior Taihang Mountain Ape has left White Cloud City with Master and is heading towards Xuanwu City." The Black Wind Condor nodded. Zhuge Qingfeng took a deep breath. He did not expect this to be a surprise.
However, he was not too happy. On the contrary, his heart was slightly heavy.
That was because the Holy Zhi Palace was also involved. He naturally knew what this meant. The Holy Zhi Palace's involvement made him very sad.
"Little Brother always likes to create miracles," Zhuge Mingyue said with a smile. The White Cloud City Lord was defeated, so he probably would not dare to come again.
"But Zhisheng Cliffs will not let this go," Gu Dongliu said softly. Gu Dongliu said softly. His heart was heavy as well. He did not want anyone else to be dragged into this. Now, his little brother had been dragged into this mess because of what he had done. Zhisheng Cliffs would probably hate him.
News of what happened in White Cloud City had yet to spread to Xuanwu City. Yuan Hong and Ye Futian rushed over at breakneck speed. When they arrived at Crouching Dragon Mountain, Zhuge Qingfeng welcomed them personally. Seeing Ye Futian on Yuan Hong's back, Zhuge Qingfeng's eyes were filled with surprise. Yuan Hong was someone who defeated the fourth on the Barren Sky Ranking. His name would soon be known throughout the Barren State.
"Little Brother," Gu Dongliu looked at Ye Futian and said, "you should not have interfered in this matter."
This storm would drag Ye Futian into the vortex. He had no way of knowing what would happen in the future.
"Third Brother." Ye Futian looked at Gu Dongliu and smiled. "The disciples of the Cottage will always stand together. No one can touch us."
Gu Dongliu looked at Ye Futian's smile and smiled as well.
News of the battle in White Cloud City finally spread to Xuanwu City, causing a huge commotion. Not only that, but the news was also spreading throughout the Barren State.
The peace that the Barren State had maintained for so long was being broken.
In Xuanwu City, the experts of Zhisheng Cliffs naturally knew of the news as well. Kong Yao did not expect Yuan Hong, who was 18th on the Barren Sky Ranking, to defeat Bai Gu. If that was the case, their plan had obviously failed.
Now that Yuan Hong had also stepped into the Zhuge Family, it was even more impossible for Kong Yao to do anything.
"I never thought that a Noble Plane figure would ruin things." Zhan Xiao's expression was cold. The cause of all this was Ye Futian, the rumored abandoned disciple of the Holy Zhi Palace.
"Zhan Xiao, what do you think?" Kong Yao asked.
