"Although I'm a member of the Nangong family, the Nangong family can't control me."
"Besides, not bringing you to the Nangong family is also for the Nangong family. Junior brother, don't you think so?"
The coldness on Nangong Xiyue's beautiful face melted.
There were some things she couldn't tell Lin Ye.
Also, she didn't want to fall out with Lin Ye. She didn't want to stand against Lin Ye for the sake of the Nangong family. Moreover, she had a feeling that although the Nangong family was terrifying and powerful, they couldn't do anything to Lin Ye.
He had discovered this feeling when he was away from the Great Xia World Ruins.
"The Nangong family is a third-grade super family."
"Junior brother, I'm just a half-step saint."
"Senior sister thinks too highly of me. Of course, senior sister knows my character. I won't cause trouble or be afraid of trouble."
Lin Ye said with a smile on his face.
The Nangong family was indeed powerful, a third-grade super family.
It was even stronger than the Tian family of the Tianyang Empire.
It was best not to offend them. Of course, if the Nangong family came looking for trouble with him, he wouldn't shrink back.
"Go and come back early."
Hearing Lin Ye's words, Nangong Xiyue felt that Lin Ye was deliberately distancing himself from her.
This made her a little puzzled.
After speaking, she turned around and walked toward the Sky City.
"Let's go too."
Watching Nangong Xiyue leave.
Lin Ye said to Lie Tenyu and Sun Wuyu. His figure flashed and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in the sky. His speed was extremely fast, not far from a saint's teleportation.
Sun Wuyu and Lie Tenyu looked at each other.
They also flashed and chased after him.
Both of them were saints with terrifying strength. Their speed wasn't any slower than Lin Ye's.
Time passed day by day.
Lin Ye and the other two used the teleportation formation to fly at full speed.
Finally, after a month, the three appeared in the territory of the Cloud Sky Kingdom. As long as they entered the Cloud Sky Kingdom, they would be able to use the teleportation formation in the kingdom's capital. It wouldn't take long.
"Let's part ways here."
"I'll return after I've settled everything."
Lin Ye said as he stood in the air.
He would not go to the Royal City.
Instead, he went straight to the Saint Spirit Heavenly Sect and picked up Luo Bingyue and the others. Of course, the Saint Spirit Heavenly Sect was his benefactor, so he had to make proper arrangements for them.
"Captain, take care."
"We'll wait for you in King City."
Sun Wuyu nodded.
Monarch City was his home. Returning to Monarch City was like returning to his own territory.
Even if he wasn't the king of the Cloudy Sky Kingdom.
"It's settled then."
Lin Ye pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
In any case, the Shengling Heaven Sect belonged to the Cloud Sky Kingdom. The distance from the Shengling Heaven Sect to the Royal City wasn't far, so it wasn't a waste of time.
After saying that, he took a step forward.
With this step, he was already ten miles away. When he took the second step, he was already in the sky. In a few breaths' time, Lin Ye's figure disappeared from their sight.
Three years ago, the Cloudy Sky Kingdom was a colossus to him.
Three years later, the Cloudy Sky Kingdom was no longer as majestic to him.
…
The Shengling Heaven Sect was a fifth-rank sect.
It was the most powerful sect within hundreds of thousands of miles.
In the entire Cloudy Sky Kingdom, the Shengling Heaven Sect could be considered a powerful existence.
However, a hundred thousand miles away from the Shengling Heaven Sect, there was a powerful sect called the Tai Yue Sect. It was also a fifth-rank sect and was slightly stronger than the Shengling Heaven Sect.
A mountain couldn't hold two tigers.
The two fifth-rank sects weren't together.
However, they weren't far apart.
Often, the two sects competed and suppressed each other.
Their disciples often fought.
However, it was rare for them to fight. After all, if the two sects really fought, it wouldn't be good for either side. They didn't want to do something that would hurt both sides.
However, a year ago …
After the daughter of the Tai Yue Sect's leader, Zhong Qingning, became the crown princess of the Cloudy Sky Kingdom's first prince, the Tai Yue Sect gained a powerful backer. With the support of the first prince, many other sects gradually got closer to the Tai Yue Sect.
Since then, the Shengling Heaven Sect had been suppressed even more.
Unfortunately, the Tai Yue Sect was stronger than the Shengling Heaven Sect.
Moreover, there were other sects with the Tai Yue Sect. The Shengling Heaven Sect didn't dare to offend the first prince.
Because …
The first prince was one of the best candidates for the throne of the Cloudy Sky Kingdom. Most of the forces in the Cloudy Sky Kingdom stood on the first prince's side. Offending the first prince was equivalent to offending the entire Cloudy Sky Kingdom.
On this day, in the Shengling Heaven Sect …
Holy Spirit Hall …
The sect leader, Dongguo Xuejian, and more than a dozen elders and peak masters were gathered in the hall, waiting.
Everyone's expression was extremely solemn.
However, no one spoke.
"Dongguo Xuejian, five days have passed."
"Have you considered it?"
A loud and arrogant voice rang out in the Holy Spirit Palace.
At the same time …
More than a dozen powerful auras rolled over.
Every aura had the power of a Ninth Tribulation half-True Saint. They were only one step away from the Saint Realm.
"Brother Zhong, your suggestion …"
"Lacks sincerity."
"As a person, why not leave a way out?"
In the hall, Dongguo Xuejian's expression was cold. However, he was about to go berserk. The other peak masters and elders' expressions were also extremely ugly.
However, for the Shengling Heaven Sect, they could only endure.
They could only greet them with a smile.
"Sincerity?"
"Leave a way out?"
"If the Shengling Heaven Sect merges with the Supreme Yue Sect, you will be the Supreme Yue Sect's elders. If the Shengling Heaven Sect doesn't merge with the Supreme Yue Sect, there is no need for the Shengling Heaven Sect to exist."
"I gave you five days to consider. Now that five days have passed, this is already the greatest sincerity."
A loud and aggressive voice sounded, accompanied by a powerful aura.
Soon, eighteen experts appeared in the Holy Spirit Hall.
These people were all peak Ninth Tribulation half-True Saints. They were only a step away from the Saint Realm.
The leader was an old man wearing the Supreme Yue Sect's uniform. Beside him were two guards from the Cloud Sky Kingdom, as well as an expert from the Blood Spirit Church and the Moon Worshipping Gate.
Behind them were all experts from the Supreme Yue Sect.
The one who spoke was the Supreme Yue Sect's sect leader, Zhong Wushu.
Peak Ninth Tribulation half-True Saints were existences that had the highest chance of becoming Saints.
"The Shengling Heaven Sect is still a fifth grade sect."
"Our ancestors worked hard to pass down their ancestral land. Since you can merge with the Supreme Yue Sect so easily, the Supreme Yue Sect is only a fifth grade sect. If the Supreme Yue Sect really wants to take over the Shengling Heaven Sect, the Shengling Heaven Sect isn't someone to be trifled with."
The Heavenly Radiance Peak Master stared coldly at Zhong Wushu and the others.
The Shengling Heaven Sect and the Supreme Yue Sect were both fifth grade forces.
Naturally, the Shengling Heaven Sect wouldn't agree to annex the Shengling Heaven Sect.
Even if they wanted to merge, only a fourth or third grade force was qualified to do so.
As the Heavenly Radiance Peak Master, he was the first to stand out and object.
"Who do you think you are?"
"If you want to wipe out the Shengling Heaven Sect, the First Prince can do it with a single word."
"We are here on the First Prince's orders to supervise the merger between the Supreme Yue Sect and the Shengling Heaven Sect. Anyone who violates his orders will be killed without mercy."
One of the two guards from the Cloud Sky Kingdom spoke.
