What the hell... what kind of messed-up things are happening!
It clearly has nothing to do with me, so why is all the pressure falling on me alone?
Wu Qiuse, caught in a dilemma, was extremely vexed.
But he had to seriously consider it.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. In this situation, he had to choose one side.
As for not choosing either side, he didn't even consider such a foolish idea, nor was it possible. In this situation, not choosing either side meant losing the friendship of both simultaneously.
But which side should he choose?
Clearly, time did not allow Wu Qiuse to consider too much.
His gaze shifted, and his eyes immediately became resolute.
"Heh heh... Qin Jue, I'm the Nine Sun City Lord after all. What do you mean by constantly threatening me in public? Do you really think I, Wu Qiuse, am made of mud?"
"Besides, don't you have any idea how your Flying Sky City people just died?"
"Attacking others only to be killed in return, what face do you have to shout here? Aren't you afraid of losing face for your Flying Sky City? If your Flying Sky City Lord knew about this, he'd probably be furious, right?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Jue's old face completely darkened.
How could he not know that Wu Qiuse had chosen Li Yun's side?
This is troublesome.
Unless they immediately transferred more people from Flying Sky City, with their current strength, they definitely couldn't defeat two Dao Seed Realm experts.
But transferring people from Flying Sky City on short notice, not to mention the time required, just considering the loss of face would make him deliberate repeatedly.
Therefore, Qin Jue was somewhat unwilling to give up.
So he threatened again, "Wu Qiuse, are you sure you really want to be enemies with Flying Sky City?"
As soon as Wu Qiuse heard this, a deep look of impatience appeared on his face.
"Qin Jue, you old scoundrel, constantly mentioning Flying Sky City! What do you think you are? Are you the Flying Sky City Lord, or can you represent Flying Sky City?"
"Stop this damn act with me!"
"My Nine Sun City and Flying Sky City are both main cities of the Sky-Splitting Dynasty. Your Flying Sky City people came to my Nine Sun City's jurisdiction to cause trouble, and now you're saying I provoked Flying Sky City? You're twisting the truth! Believe it or not, I can immediately send a message to the Royal City and report your Flying Sky City?"
Qin Jue's old face instantly turned completely black.
Seeing this, Song Gongming from Divine Sabre Manor quickly tugged at Qin Jue's sleeve and whispered, "Old Qin, it's impossible. How about we retreat first..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jue immediately became furious.
"Shut up!"
"Where do you have the right to speak now? Get this straight, this isn't about you avenging your son anymore. This is about my Flying Sky City and Li Yun..."
Song Gongming was instantly stunned, and his heart turned cold.
Something big is about to happen.
But this development was completely different from what he had expected before coming.
Once the situation spiraled out of control and escalated into a war between two main cities, let alone recruiting Flying Sky City people to help him achieve his plans in Wantu Kingdom, it was unknown if he could even return alive from the Sky-Splitting Dynasty to Wantu Kingdom.
This is truly... what the hell!
Song Gongming subconsciously glanced at Li Yun, hating him for crippling Song Wujie, yet also feeling a faint regret.
He absolutely did not expect Li Yun's strength to be so outrageous.
If he had known earlier that Li Yun's strength was so outrageous, he definitely wouldn't have come to seek revenge so rashly.
At this moment.
Qin Jue's eyes were slightly red, and he was gradually losing patience.
"Alright, Wu Qiuse, you brought this upon yourself!"
"Either way, I must kill Li Yun today. If you insist on blocking me, the consequences will be your sole responsibility..."
"Everyone, listen up! Kill with me..."
In the end, Qin Jue decided he couldn't just retreat like this. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to face the entire Flying Sky City upon returning. Since He Yijiu died, Li Yun must pay with his life.
The Flying Sky City people beside him naturally followed Qin Jue's lead. Seeing that Qin Jue had decided to force the kill, they might have been somewhat unwilling, but they couldn't back out now.
They could only brace themselves and prepare to follow Qin Jue's lead in forcing the kill.
Seeing this, Ding Bosheng and Wu Qiuse could only unleash their power once more.
Since the Flying Sky City people wanted to fight, they could only fight to the end.
However, no one noticed.
Just then
A graceful, snow-white figure suddenly drifted from mid-air.
It was a Mysterious Woman with bare feet, wearing a plain white long dress, appearing to be only eighteen or nineteen years old. Her lovely face was so beautiful it made heaven and earth lose their color and the sun and moon dim. Her features seemed meticulously carved by the heavens, so perfect that not a single flaw could be found.
No one knew when she had appeared.
They only saw her suddenly flying from mid-air.
She flew directly above the house, as if she hadn't noticed the tense atmosphere and the impending world-shaking battle. Her beautiful eyes flickered with light, and her gaze settled on Li Yun alone.
"Heh heh, you little fellow, I didn't expect you to arrive at the Sky-Splitting Dynasty so quickly. Then why didn't you go to White Emperor City to find me? Didn't I give you the White Emperor City token?"
What?
White Emperor City?
Everyone present, including Qin Jue, revealed a deep look of fear on their faces.
That's White Emperor City!
Sky-Splitting Dynasty, ranked third among the one hundred and eight main cities!
What kind of place is that?
To put it bluntly, while it's not a place where Dharma Idols are everywhere and Celestial Humans are worse than dogs, it's not far off.
A Dao Embryo Realm expert like the Flying Sky City Lord, famous throughout the four directions, would definitely have to tuck his tail between his legs upon arriving at White Emperor City and absolutely wouldn't dare cause trouble there.
Otherwise, even a Dao Embryo Realm expert would die!
Let alone someone in the Dao Seed Realm like Qin Jue.
If people from White Emperor City really came, he wouldn't dare provoke them casually even with a hundred times his courage, not even a small Celestial Human from White Emperor City.
Li Yun, however, was a little surprised and speechless.
It turned out to be the old hag he had met on Green Peak Mountain, who had slept for eight hundred years in the Crypt stone chamber. Alright, calling her an old hag was indeed a bit impolite, but this person was not only powerful but also had a terrifyingly deep background.
Li Yun had a thought.
He took out the white jade token the other party had given him from his chest.
"Senior, I've only just arrived at the Sky-Splitting Dynasty not long ago and haven't had time to go to White Emperor City to find you yet. And now, I've gotten into trouble... These Flying Sky City people are shouting about killing me. Before I resolve this trouble, I can't go."
"So, since you're here, I'll return this token to you..."
Opposite them.
When Li Yun took out the White Emperor City token, Qin Jue and the others opposite him all stared with wide eyes.
Intense fear directly overflowed from their eyes, covering their faces.
This is a White Emperor token!
Even in White Emperor City, only a very small number of people are qualified to take it out; they are all top figures in the White Emperor Family.
This damned Li Yun actually has this connection! Why the hell didn't he say so earlier?
If you had said earlier that you carried a White Emperor token, who the hell would be crazy enough to touch you? You hid it and didn't say anything, only taking it out when the big shot from White Emperor City arrived. Isn't this screwing people over?
Son of a bitch!
