Although Liu Chan had expected that there would be many people paying attention to the event, he did not expect that almost all of the top figures of the Barren State would be present.
Even the Ice Temple had appeared in the Holy Zhi Palace.
Of course, Liu Chan also understood that most of the people who came to the Holy Zhi Palace were just there to observe. Their attitudes were still unknown, but there were probably not many who would actually participate in the matter.
At that moment, Sage Wanxiang was performing a divination in the Wanxiang Palace. The astrolabe spun and starlight fell from the sky. He saw the majestic Holy Zhi Palace standing in the wind and rain. Destructive dark light of catastrophe shone between heaven and earth. Dark clouds covered the city. The storm seemed to be coming, but he still could not see the light of dawn.
"Men!" Sage Wanxiang shouted. Outside, one of his disciples walked in and was equally shocked at the scene before him. He asked, "Master, what is this?"
"Inform the Assistant Palace Lord that the calamity of the Holy Zhi Palace has arrived." Sage Wanxiang said, "I need to monitor the divination at all times and wait for the signs of the calamity breaking."
The expression of the person who arrived was extremely solemn. Ye Futian's visit to the Holy Zhi Palace today was actually due to the calamity of the Holy Zhi Palace?
How could this be? What was going to happen today?
"Yes, teacher." However, he still nodded and left, heading to the Holy Sage Pavilion to report to Liu Chan. When Liu Chan heard what Sage Wanxiang had said, he was equally shocked. However, he could not understand where the calamity of the Holy Zhi Palace had come from.
Zhisheng Cliffs had not made a move so far. Perhaps this force from the Barren State had already made ample preparations.
How far would Zhisheng Cliffs go before leaving the Barren State?
Sage Wanxiang actually had to monitor the divination at all times. One could imagine how terrifying the divination this time was. The Barren State, which had been peaceful for a period of time, was going to welcome a huge storm today?
Liu Chan's eyes were filled with determination. No matter what happened, he would help the Holy Zhi Palace overcome this crisis. This was his mission.
In the palace where the mighty ones of Zhisheng Cliffs resided, Kong Yao looked at the person before him and said, "I heard that Ye Futian is already on his way."
"It's not just Ye Futian. Many top-notch figures from the Barren State will be here today. Perhaps many of them will participate," the person in front of him said.
Kong Yao's expression was calm, and his face revealed a faint mocking expression. All of you want to come?
It was just as well that they could settle it in the Holy Zhi Palace.
The Barren State had been without a Saint for many years, and it seemed that they had forgotten what it was to be respected. As such, it was time for the Barren State's forces to be reshuffled. The land of Emperor Xia's orthodoxy would be taken away sooner or later, and now it was just an opportunity.
Lifting his feet, Kong Yao walked to a prison. This was a prison that had been specially built for Gu Dongliu, and he was locked inside.
"Your junior brother is here," Kong Yao said to Gu Dongliu.
Gu Dongliu raised his head and looked at Kong Yao. He sighed inwardly. Little Brother actually did not leave the Barren State?
"It's not just Ye Futian. Zhuge Qingfeng, Yuan Hong, and many others from the Barren State are here as well. You want to take it all on your own, but there seem to be quite a few people out there who care about your life." Kong Yao smiled sarcastically. "That's great. I'd like to see who dares to participate today."
With that, he raised his head slightly and said, "Everyone, let's get to work."
As soon as he finished speaking, one figure after another came through the air. They were all mighty ones from Zhisheng Cliffs. Two of them walked to Kong Yao's side. They had an extraordinary bearing, and they must be extremely terrifying.
"Brother Kong, I heard that many on the Barren Sky Ranking are here?" someone said with a smile. There was a hint of mockery in his tone, as if he did not care at all.
"Yes." Kong Yao nodded.
"It's been a long time since I've tempered my martial arts with top archmages." An elder next to him had a frighteningly cold expression. He said, "If anyone dares to make a move against Zhisheng Cliffs, I will show no mercy. Head Saint, you won't have any objections, right?"
"No. Anyone who dares to participate in this will be killed without mercy." Kong Yao's voice was cold.
"That's good." The elder nodded. "I heard that you suffered in the Barren State before, Kong Yao. The opponent used a Saint ritual implement. This time, you can go all out and kill."
"Today, the mighty ones from the Barren State are here. We can let them know what respect is." Murderous intent flashed in Kong Yao's eyes. "Let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, the group walked out and left the palace.
Gu Dongliu looked at their departing figures and sighed inwardly. In the end, things did not calm down. This storm was inevitable.
He had heard Kong Yao and the others talk these past few days, and he knew that the opponent's lineup was powerful. Zhisheng Cliffs not only wanted to avenge Zhan Xiao, but they also wanted to establish their might in the Barren State.
The Son of Zhisheng Cliffs, Zhan Xiao, had been killed in the Barren State. It was likely that the other states of the Nine States were also secretly watching what was happening in the Barren State.
…
Outside the Holy Zhi Palace, there were mighty ones everywhere in the air. At a glance, powerful figures from all over had arrived.
In the palace, Liu Chan, Sage Tianxing, and the others walked out and looked at the people who had come from all over the air.
His eyes first looked in one direction, where there was a group of women carrying a carriage. The carriage looked as if it was made of ice and snow, pure and flawless. One could faintly see a lithe and graceful woman sitting in the carriage, but no one dared to use their spiritual powers to invade it.
"Is Hallmaster Yun here?" Liu Chan asked.
"Liu Chan, it's been a while." A calm voice was heard from the carriage. The eyes of many around them sparkled. It was indeed her.
The most powerful woman in the Barren State, and second on the Barren Sky Ranking, second only to the Palace Lord.
"Why is Lord Yun not training in the Ice Temple? Why is he free to come to the Palace?" Liu Chan asked. "Is it also because of what happened in the Palace today?"
"My daughter has been training in the Palace for many years and has made great progress, so I came to the Palace to thank you," the woman in the carriage said. Liu Chan's eyes flashed. The daughter of the lord of the Ice Temple was cultivating in the Holy Zhi Palace?
He did not even know about this.
"It is the Palace's honor to have Lord Yun's beloved daughter training in the Palace," Liu Chan said politely. After all, the woman before him was ranked before him, second on the Barren Sky Ranking. Now that his brother was injured, the woman was likely to be the most powerful person in the Barren State.
"Yun Shuisheng?" Sage Daozang looked surprised. Among his direct disciples, Yun Shuisheng's surname was Yun.
However, surnames were usually taken from the father, but it was not strange for the daughter of the Ice Temple Lord to take her mother's surname. There were many outstanding disciples in the Palace, but there were not many that he could think of as the princess of the Ice Temple. Moreover, many of the people he could think of had clear backgrounds. After eliminating them, it was Yun Shuisheng.
"Teacher, it's me." In the direction of the Palace, a woman bowed slightly and said, "I hid my identity from you, teacher. I hope you will forgive me."
"It's no big deal. Training in the Palace does not depend on your background. Since you are the princess of the Ice Temple, I have some respect as a teacher." Sage Daozang smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's just that Lord Yun did not come here today just to see you."
He already had his suspicions. Lord Yun's arrival was too coincidental. From what he knew, Yun Shuisheng and Ye Futian were close, and they had even gone to Alchemy City together to train.
"I heard from Shuisheng that she has a friend with incredible talent who defeated Qin Zhong, who was said to have the potential to become a saint. However, he has been expelled from the Palace and the Palace wants to capture him and give him to Zhisheng Cliffs. I heard that he would be coming today, so I came out of curiosity," Lord Yun said. Liu Chan and Sage Daozang both looked in the direction of the carriage. They did not expect Yun Shuisheng to have invited the lord of the Ice Temple to come.
"What about everyone else? Are you all curious as well?" Liu Chan looked at the others and asked.
No one responded. Everyone who came today had their own opinions.
Seeing that no one responded, Liu Chan smiled coldly and said, "If that is the case, I will wait and see."
He stood on top of the Palace and looked far away. Wanxiang said that today would be the day of the Palace's calamity. Now that all the mighty ones of the Barren State were gathered here, how would the calamity of the Palace come?
In the distance, at the outskirts of the Thousand Holy Islands, Zhuge Qingfeng, Yuan Hong, Ye Futian, and the others had already arrived. Zhuge Mingyue and Hua Jieyu followed them.
Ye Futian stopped and looked at the endless island cities in front of him. If he continued forward, he would officially step into the Palace's territory. It was likely that he would not be able to return after this.
"We'll see you off here. Jieyu, you can go back," Ye Futian suddenly turned around and said to Hua Jieyu.
Hua Jieyu's eyes froze. She raised her eyes and looked at Ye Futian coldly.
He had said that he would let her go with him.
"You promised me." She stared at Ye Futian with determination in her eyes.
"What did I promise you?" Ye Futian looked at Hua Jieyu and said, "Don't you know that I'm best at sweet-talking? What I promised you was naturally fake."
Hua Jieyu stared at him and said nothing.
Ye Futian looked impatient and said, "You're really annoying. Loulan Xue is more obedient and knows how to take care of people. She's not as willful as you."
Hua Jieyu continued to stare at him.
"Are you leaving or not?" Ye Futian asked seriously.
"No," Hua Jieyu replied.
"How can you be so selfish?" Ye Futian said impatiently, "That day in Taihang Mountain, you only thought about your own life and let Third Brother face everything. What are you doing here now? You're so fake. Why are you following me now? To show your noble love? What about your parents? What about them? "
Hua Jieyu glared at him. Her eyes were slightly red. She did feel guilty about what happened in Taihang Mountain that day. She was selfish. She was willing to let her Third Brother and Second Sister down so that he could live.
Now, she could let down her parents, but was it just to show her nobility?
"Since things have come to this, I'll tell you the truth. You know what kind of person I am. I'm a playboy by nature. If it weren't for your jealousy, I would have had many women by now. But I'm getting more and more annoyed with you. You're useless, so I don't want to drag you down with me. Don't follow me. "Ye Futian waved his hand and said," As for your fate, it's all nonsense to trick women. Whoever believes it is stupid. "
As he said this, he walked away.
