Breaking through the clouds was Bie Yanghong and Wuqiong Bi.
The dust over the eighty thousand li had been blown away by the strong winds in the sky, but it could not disperse the solemnity and gravity in their eyes.
After leaving Holy Maiden Peak, they had taken a little time to rest, not waiting for their injuries to completely recover before rushing to White Emperor City.
Even though they were experts of the Divine Domain, they had paid no small price. Their faces were rather pale and they seemed very tired.
Standing on the green mountain, Bie Yanghong surveyed his surroundings. His eyes were slightly profound, allowing him to clearly see everything that was going on within several dozen li.
On the other shore, White Emperor City was rather noisy. The demi-humans had probably sensed their arrival and were in a hurry to mobilize their armies and experts.
Bie Yanghong raised his right hand and unfurled his fingers.
Several deep blue ice crystals imbued with boundless cold floated out of his palm. They were blown about by the mountain winds, but they did not follow the wind.
These ice crystals seemed to weigh nothing as they floated to some place behind the mountain.
Bie Yanghong and Wuqiong Bi followed behind.
It didn't take long before they saw a tree more than a thousand zhang tall rising into the sky. The top of the tree broke through the clouds, its whereabouts unknown.
The tree was extremely thick, looking like a wall. There was a hole at the base of the tree, and a house had been built in the hole.
A black-clothed girl sat on a stone bench in the room, her chin propped up in her hand, seeming rather worried.
As if they had seen their loved ones, the blue ice crystals turned into streaks of light and flew toward the black-clothed girl.
The girl sensed them and raised her head.
Those deep blue ice crystals burrowed into the red birthmark between her eyebrows and vanished.
The girl looked at Bie Yanghong and Wuqiong Bi, wariness appearing on her cold and beautiful face.
She was a proud and powerful Dragon, but she could clearly sense that these two human experts had the ability to harm her.
Bie Yanghong's gaze moved down to the girl's feet. As he looked at the chains, he slightly creased his brow.
Wuqiong Bi's complexion turned extremely nasty as she gazed at the black-clothed girl. In her view, even if Bie Tianxin's death had nothing to do with this girl, he had still died to her Dragon Breath. She prepared to step forward and vent her anger, but Bie Yanghong's stern gaze stopped her.
"Lady Zhusha, I will think of a way to save you," Bie Yanghong said to the girl.
This girl was naturally the legend at the bottom of New North Bridge, the current Pope Chen Changsheng's Protector.
She had many names. Chen Changsheng liked to call her Zhizhi, but Bie Yanghong, an expert of the continent of his generation, still used the name Wang Zhice had given her: Zhusha.
When he saw the chains at the girl's feet, Bie Yanghong confirmed that his son's death had nothing to do with her, as she could not leave this mountain.
Since this was the case, he would naturally think to save her.
Thus, he naturally had to think of a way to save her.
It was truly because Bie Yanghong's little red flower was far too famous, and Wuqiong Bi's horsetail whisk and her face were equally unsightly. This matter was also extremely famous.
She had already been trapped on this cliff for some time and had vaguely guessed at something. Two days ago, she had even sensed the death of an expert of the Divine Domain, but she still did not know the specifics, much less why these two experts of the continent had suddenly appeared here.
She pondered Bie Yanghong's words and said, "Then I'll have to thank you, but it seems rather difficult."
Bie Yanghong's gaze continued down the cliff from her ankle, his expression a little strange.
The iron chain seemed to be tied to a stone hole on the ground, but with his keen eyesight, he could tell that the stone hole was actually the top of a stone embryo, and that the stone embryo was at the bottom of the cliff. In other words, the iron chain was connected to the entire mountain.
If he wanted to take the little Black Dragon away, he would have to shatter this cliff and the extremely hard stone embryo within it, or he would have to sever the connection between the chains and the stone embryo.
The former was not feasible. Although he should be able to do it if he used the full extent of his cultivation, that kind of movement would be too big. Moreover, it would consume a lot of star radiance true essence, which would greatly affect the actual battle later. As for the latter … there was clearly something wrong with the aura of the iron chain and the stone embryo, as if there was an invisible lock.
Bie Yanghong's expression slightly froze. "Tiger Roar?"
Zhizhi replied, "I don't know what it's called, but it's a pretty good name."
Bie Yanghong knew that it was definitely correct. The object that bound the chains to the stone embryo was assuredly the legendary forbidden artifact of the demi-humans, the Tiger Roar.
This was a forbidden artifact used by the White Emperor clan to punish traitors. The White Emperor clan was born with divine strength, but they were absolutely incapable of breaking free of the Tiger Roar. It was most suitable for imprisoning the little Black Dragon.
Even an expert of Bie Yanghong's level would find it extremely difficult to break free of the Tiger Roar.
But since it was a forbidden artifact, it assuredly had a key, and the key was naturally in Madam Mu's hands.
"Once I kill her, I'll release you," Bie Yanghong said.
Zhizhi replied, "Then I truly must thank you."
Bie Yanghong suddenly sensed something and turned to look at the sea of clouds.
A wind blew over from the sea of clouds, causing the sea of clouds to ripple and tremble. Many cracks appeared in the clouds.
As he gazed at the meadow emerging from one of the cracks and the two women standing on the meadow, Bie Yanghong felt like the salty and wet air of the wind had suddenly become countless times heavier.
… …
… …
Seeing Madam Mu's somewhat similar appearance to Mu Jiushi's, Bie Yanghong fell silent for a moment, then clasped his hands in greeting.
Madam Mu calmly returned the greeting.
Wuqiong Bi naturally would not bow to her, nor did she speak. She only stared at Mu Jiushi, her eyes so venomous that they seemed like poisonous flames burning deep underground.
No matter how extraordinary Mu Jiushi's background and proud and arrogant she was, being stared at by an expert of the Divine Domain like this and thinking about Bie Tianxin's matter made her feel very guilty. She instantly felt her body and mind turn cold. Somewhat afraid, she moved to hide behind Madam Mu.
Bie Yanghong looked at Madam Mu and asked, "Empress intends to protect her?"
Madam Mu replied, "This is White Emperor City and she is my younger sister. Do you think that I would let you touch her?"
Wuqiong Bi pointed at White Emperor City across the sea of clouds and shouted, "Do you think that you can rely on those idiots of the demi-humans to stop us husband and wife!"
Her voice was abnormally shrill, like two swords incessantly grinding against each other.
In contrast, Bie Yanghong's voice was still warm and gentle, but even more resolute. "His Majesty the White Emperor is in seclusion. You are alone."
Madam Mu calmly replied, "So the two of you disregarded worsening your injuries and rushed over as quickly as possible."
Bie Yanghong replied, "Yes, I wanted to ensure that no one was faster than us."
Madam Mu's expression did not change. "Do you think that as long as the Great Western Continent cannot send reinforcements in time, I will be forced into a situation where I have to fight one against two?"
Bie Yanghong replied, "Correct, this is not a fair contest, but a father and mother's vengeance."
Madam Mu faintly smiled. "Then did you ever think that although my husband is in seclusion, he is not cut off from the world? If I really do die, do you think that he will not act? And even if the two of you work together, are you sure that you can defeat me? "

Mother is in the hospital again. In the next few days, it will probably be just like it was in the last half year. If I have time, I will write. If I don't, I will tell and report to everyone.
