In the Holy Zhi Palace, not only were the elders emotional, but many of the disciples were also moved by the news of that battle.
The one who was expelled from the Law Rank, even if he was no longer in the Holy Zhi Palace, was still a legend. He was unparalleled in his generation in the Barren State. Now, the number one person below the Sage Plane in Yu State was defeated by him.
In the Sword Palace, in front of an ancient temple, a one-armed figure sat cross-legged, looking at the cliff in front of him. Sitting there, he could see the scenery below the Holy Zhi Palace.
Behind him, a woman in a red dress walked over and sat down beside him. She asked softly, "What's the news from there?"
"The news came that Zhisheng Cliffs was temporarily defeated, but this matter is not over yet. Many major forces are mobilizing their cultivators to surround Crouching Dragon Mountain," Ye Wuchen said.
A trace of worry appeared in Liu Chenyu's eyes. Then, there was a moment of silence.
Although they were worried, they could not interfere in a battle between top figures. Even those at the bottom of the Barren Sky Ranking were not qualified to participate in this storm.
"Zhan Xiao and Qin Zhong are in the Holy Zhi Palace now. Zhisheng Cliffs does not plan to let them participate in the upcoming battle. If there is anyone who can solve this matter, it can only be the Holy Zhi Palace," Ye Wuchen said slowly. Ye Wuchen said slowly, but he did not have such a fantasy in his heart. When the Holy Zhi Palace first entered White Cloud City, he already knew their position. It was already a blessing not to get involved in dealing with Ye Futian, let alone help him.
However, the current situation was that if the Holy Zhi Palace did not intervene, who could calm this storm?
Zhisheng Cliffs wanted Gu Dongliu, but Zhuge Qingfeng would not hand him over, and Ye Futian would not allow it. So, they would fight.
"It will be fine," Liu Chenyu said softly. She did not know what to say. Perhaps it was self-comfort.
Ye Wuchen did not say anything. He also hoped that everything would pass.
It was not easy for them to get to this point.
Time passed, but the turmoil in the Barren State did not subside.
Mighty ones from the Sword Saint Villa, the Emperor Family, the Sacred Fire Sect, and the Nantian House gathered in Xuanwu City. However, at that moment, You Chi suddenly released news, ordering Di Kai to retreat to Alchemy City. He said that the forces of Alchemy City were not to participate in the encirclement of the Zhuge Family, a force of the Barren State. Furthermore, it was an order issued as the Alchemy City Lord, and it was very forceful.
This was also the first time You Chi's attitude towards the Emperor Family had been so forceful. Many years ago, the ancestors of the two families had created Alchemy City together. Even if they had their own agendas now, at least on the surface, they were still allies. However, from a certain perspective, it was understandable that the Alchemy City Lord did not allow the Emperor Family to join forces with Zhisheng Cliffs to encircle Crouching Dragon Mountain.
Di Kai was furious when he heard about this, but You Chi's attitude was firm. He told the people of the Emperor Family to tell Di Kai that he was not allowed to participate, or else he would have to bear the consequences.
The attitudes of the top-notch figures in the Barren State were becoming more and more subtle. There were already a few top-notch figures who openly and covertly expressed their stance and sided with Crouching Dragon Mountain. Although they did not jump out and declare that they wanted to become enemies with Zhisheng Cliffs, as that would have been too stupid, their actions had unknowingly affected the overall situation.
The outside world was changing, but the Holy Zhi Palace was still the same. Zhan Xiao wanted to convince the Holy Zhi Palace to participate, but Zhuge Qingfeng was from the Holy Zhi Palace. No matter what, the Holy Zhi Palace could not really participate in the encirclement of Crouching Dragon Mountain, even if they were dissatisfied with the engagement.
Zhan Xiao was rather unhappy about this. He was very unhappy with many people in the Barren State. Qin Zhong, on the other hand, continued to cultivate in the Holy Zhi Palace and did not pay attention to the disputes of the outside world.
On this day, there were many disciples in one of the cultivation grounds of the Holy Zhi Palace.
Zhan Xiao was there as well. Today, the second young master of White Cloud City said that he had something to discuss with him.
The second young master of White Cloud City, Bai Ze, had the intention of befriending him, and they had become familiar with each other over the past few days.
It was said that the eldest young master of White Cloud City, Bai Luli, was the most outstanding figure in the Barren State. Even Ye Futian had been expelled from the Holy Zhi Palace because of him. It was a pity that they had missed Bai Luli this time. He was not in the Holy Zhi Palace, but had gone outside to cultivate.
"Brother Zhan, are you really going to watch and miss out on this big show?" Bai Ze asked Zhan Xiao.
"The encirclement of Crouching Dragon Mountain this time is made up of top-notch archmages. With my plane, I won't be able to affect the overall situation even if I participate," Zhan Xiao looked at Bai Ze and said. He was rather curious as to why Bai Ze was looking for him.
"Then, Brother Zhan, how confident are you that we will be able to take care of Crouching Dragon Mountain this time?" Bai Ze asked.
"Who knows?" Zhan Xiao said. Uncle-Master Kong Yao was now truly enraged, but the other party had two Saint-level ritual implements and superb defense. It would still be somewhat troublesome. Moreover, some old fellow from Alchemy City seemed to have jumped out and was going against them.
"If your White Cloud City were to participate, there would be no suspense. It's just that your father seems to be a little afraid," Zhan Xiao looked at Bai Ze and said plainly with a smile.
"I hope Brother Zhan can forgive me for this. Ye Futian used someone from the Bai Clan to threaten us. It was truly despicable," Bai Ze said coldly. "Speaking of which, what does Ye Futian have to do with Gu Dongliu snatching Brother Zhan's sacred item? Yet he has been participating in the sabotage, threatening White Cloud City, and even inviting Yuan Hong to help. I'm afraid that You Chi's attitude was also influenced by him. If it weren't for him, Brother Zhan would have taken Gu Dongliu away a long time ago. None of this would have happened."
A cold glint flashed in Zhan Xiao's eyes. Bai Ze's words were indeed true. If it weren't for Ye Futian repeatedly participating in the sabotage, the matter would have ended a long time ago.
But then again, Ye Futian's talent was truly formidable. Even Brother Qin Zhong lost to him.
"Ye Futian is a despicable person who would resort to any means necessary. If Zhisheng Cliffs were like him, they would have taken care of this matter a long time ago. It's just that Zhisheng Cliffs and Brother Zhan didn't care," Bai Ze continued.
"What do you mean?" Zhan Xiao looked at Bai Ze.
"I heard that when Ye Futian left the Holy Zhi Palace, he brought his family and friends with him. When he came out, only Yuan Hong took him with him. The others should still be in Taihang Mountain. Now that the power of Taihang Mountain is gathered on Crouching Dragon Mountain, if the others followed Ye Futian's example, wouldn't this matter be a piece of cake?" Bai Ze said casually. Zhan Xiao smiled at Bai Ze.
This brat is indeed despicable.
But then again, what he said made sense.
No one knew what would happen in the battle of Crouching Dragon Mountain. If he were to return to Zhisheng Cliffs just like that, coupled with the fact that the truth was revealed, it was highly likely that he would be severely punished. There had to be a conclusion to this matter.
"Desperate times call for desperate measures," Zhan Xiao said with a smile. "Bai Ze, you've reminded me that when dealing with despicable people like Ye Futian, there's no need to play by the rules."
"Brother Zhan, I'm impressed." Bai Ze cupped his hands and said, "If that's the case, I'll take my leave."
"Alright." Zhan Xiao nodded, and then Bai Ze left. Looking at his back, Zhan Xiao smiled coldly and said, "Let's go."
Not long after, some news spread in the Holy Zhi Palace that Zhan Xiao of Zhisheng Cliffs had left the Holy Zhi Palace with a group of people.
Xu Que and Zui Qianchou came to the Sword Palace, where Ye Wuchen cultivated.
Ye Wuchen saw the two of them and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's news among the disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace that Bai Ze intentionally told Zhan Xiao about Yu Sheng, Hua Jieyu, and the others being in Taihang Mountain. Now, Zhan Xiao has left the Holy Zhi Palace," Xu Que said.
Ye Wuchen's eyes suddenly became sharp, and a strong murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Bai Ze.
"Can you inform Ye Futian?" Ye Wuchen asked.
"Tingxue House has a special method of communication. I'll send the news to Crouching Dragon Mountain as soon as possible. I'll definitely be faster than Zhan Xiao," Xu Que said. Ye Wuchen nodded and turned around. He looked down at the Holy Zhi Palace and clenched his fist. He said coldly, "Is Bai Ze still in the Holy Zhi Palace?"
"It's said that he's cultivating in the Valley of Consciousness," Xu Que said.
The Valley of Consciousness was a secret cultivation zone in the Holy Zhi Palace that could temper one's Spiritual Will.
Ye Wuchen stared straight ahead. His eyes were filled with terrifying Sword Will. Then, his body flashed and he leaped forward. A Sword Will turned into a sword that landed beneath his feet. He traversed the space and headed in the direction of the Knowledge Valley of the Holy Zhi Palace.
Xu Que and Zui Qianchou looked at each other, then both flashed and chased in the direction that Ye Wuchen had gone.
The Valley of Consciousness was filled with an extremely mysterious aura that could affect one's Spiritual Will. As such, very few people came to cultivate there, and even fewer people were able to enter the depths of the Valley of Consciousness.
At that moment, Bai Ze was cultivating there quietly.
However, at that moment, he seemed to have sensed something. He turned around and saw a figure riding on a sword, descending in the air above him.
"Ye Wuchen." Bai Ze saw the person who came, and a faint look of mockery appeared on his face. He must have come for that matter. It was not a secret, and he did not deliberately hide it to prevent the news from spreading, because he did not care at all.
So what if Ye Futian knew? It might have been more interesting that way.
Was he at Crouching Dragon Mountain, or was he going to Taihang Mountain?
Sword Will pulsed from Ye Wuchen's body, and his murderous intent was strong. Feeling that aura, the mockery in Bai Ze's eyes became even more intense, and he said coldly, "Ye Wuchen, do you still want to fight?"
Although he was completely suppressed by Ye Futian in the Palace, he was not afraid of Ye Wuchen.
Whoosh … A terrifying dark current of the Sword rushed directly into Bai Ze's eyes. In an instant, the sword aura in the space exploded, and Ye Wuchen's body shot towards Bai Ze like a bolt of lightning.
Bai Ze's eyes sparkled. He did not expect Ye Wuchen to be so decisive and attack directly. The Eye of Devastation was released, and in an instant, the space turned gray. A terrifying Spiritual Will shrouded everything, and the sword aura streaked past him.
In the gray family, he saw the sword that Ye Wuchen had slashed out. It was an extremely overbearing dark sword. This was the Sword Demon's Demonic Sword Technique, which could suddenly increase the power of the sword.
"Destroy!" Bai Ze shouted angrily. He released his Life Spirit, and the power of the Eye of Devastation was activated to the extreme, destroying the sword aura. However, Ye Wuchen's sword aura seemed to be stacked layer by layer, and it was endless.
"You're courting death." Seeing that Ye Wuchen was approaching him, a giant gray hand appeared in the gray space, grabbing towards Ye Wuchen's body. In an instant, it directly crushed Ye Wuchen's body.
The gray hand squeezed towards Ye Wuchen, and the murderous intent in Bai Ze's eyes was terrifying. However, at the same time, an extremely dazzling silver light suddenly burst out from Ye Wuchen's brow, like a silver vortex of the Sword Way, killing wildly and piercing through everything.
At that moment, Bai Ze's mind seemed to have a strange illusion. He could not sense the distance of the sword, as if what he saw was an illusion.
Hum. An extremely strong spiritual storm was activated to resist this power, and Bai Ze's eyes turned into a terrifying vortex, destroying all the Sword Way that was coming towards him. However, at that moment, Ye Wuchen's power increased, and the endless Sword Way currents all flowed towards his Spiritual Will. At that moment, it was as if all the power in his body was being sucked out, and the power of the Sword Way increased explosively, causing a terrifying illusion to appear in Bai Ze's mind. He was trapped in the Sword Way vortex, and it was as if he could not distinguish between reality and illusion. He only saw a destructive Sword Way vortex breaking through all restraints, and his Eye of Devastation saw a pair of demonic sword eyes.
"Die!" Bai Ze roared, and the spell scroll shone brightly. The terrifying power of thunder pierced through everything, blasting towards Ye Wuchen's body.
