Cloud Mountain was vast and majestic, its main peak imposing and towering to ten thousand feet, with far-reaching sprawling ridges stretching wide. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

The mountains were ablaze with vibrant colors, lush and upright!

At this moment, inside and out, the place was filled with Martial Artists.

Ever since the Yunshan Clan relocated, this blessed land was naturally eyed by countless powers.

But due to all the fighting over it, no one had truly taken over yet.

And so, it became the battleground for Xu Yang and Song Yuanhao.

The forces of Qingzhou gazed upon the soaring Cloud Mountain, ceaselessly lamenting: "It's over now. Song Yuanhao and Xu Yang—those two are the very pinnacle of the young generation, practically at the Peak of the Realm of Myriad Phenomena! After such a fight, what will even remain of Cloud Mountain?"

"Two Crown Princes, each carrying True Monarch's Supreme Treasures—it's unimaginable. This battle will shake the heavens! Cloud Mountain might well be destroyed by them!"

"Alas, no one stands to gain anything!"

"Wait, that's Yun Changge from the Yunshan Clan!"

Suddenly, someone let out a cry of surprise.

All eyes around turned to look.

A group of people arrived side by side.

Undoubtedly, these were Martial Artists of the Yunshan Clan.

After fleeing Qingzhou, the Yunshan Clan had settled in Yuanzhou.

Now, returning to their homeland and seeing all this, Yun Changge's face was full of complex emotions.

This was the home the Yunshan Clan had upheld for hundreds of years!

Unless Great Hao itself fell, they had no chance of coming back.

But now, as it had become the site of such a duel, Yun Changge no longer held any hope!

Cloud Mountain was doomed, certain to be lost.

He couldn't even claim to hate it much.

The true hatred in his heart was for the Zhang Family!

"So many people."

"There must be over ten thousand here!"

"And so many other powers from inside Great Hao."

"Even the strong ones of Wuhou Hall have come!"

"My god, Myriad Phenomena Realm cultivators are everywhere!"

Martial Artists arriving later swept their gaze over the vast Cloud Mountain, awed beyond belief.

People everywhere had taken position!

And most were quite formidable.

Without a doubt, the pull of this battle was tremendous.

The two most powerful of the young generation—the Crown Princes of two empires!

The shrewder among them even thought about the clash between Great Hao and Daqian!

This Crown Prince duel, in the end, might evolve into a true Emperor's confrontation!

Unprecedented, the likes of which had never been seen before!

If you missed it, you'd regret it for life!

None feared for their own safety.

Since Great Hao established its dynasty, for the Martial Artists and powers within its territory, as long as you'd shown obedience, they'd done nothing ruthless.

No matter who won, it would just be a struggle between the royal families, unrelated to outsiders!

"Xu Yang, can he win?" Gon Lang asked, sighing.

By now, the old grudges had long faded away!

In fact, he didn't wish to see Xu Yang lose!

"Xu Yang's strength is terrifying, but Song Yuanhao can't be underestimated either. The pair have schemed so deeply, their preparations must be astonishing. This battle will surely surpass even our imagination!" said the Hall Master of Wuhou Hall.

He and Gon Lang were both Myriad Phenomena Realm cultivators!

Yet now, both felt a chill in their hearts.

After so long, the might of Xu Yang and Song Yuanhao—if either of them had to face them, they'd probably stand no chance.

"Zhang Lingqiao, I'm going to kill you!"

A furious roar suddenly reverberated through the mountains, drawing countless eyes.

Gon Lang glanced over and exclaimed in confusion, "Aren't those the Yunshan Clan and the Zhang Family from Qingzhou?"

He was of course familiar with the Zhang Family.

Having followed Xu Yang, now they've settled in Central State!

It's foreseeable—in the coming days, the Zhang Family would be more prosperous than ever!

While the Yunshan Clan—how could they even dare offend the Zhang Family?

Truth be told, now when Wuhou Hall met the Zhang Family or the Bai Family, they'd always be polite.

When Yun Changge saw the Zhang Family's contingent, his eyes turned red.

Endless fury and hatred surged up, driving him to charge straight over.

"Old bastard, you dare scheme against me!"

"I won't spare you!"

Zhang Lingqiao's mouth twitched, knowing perfectly well why Yun Changge was so livid.

If it were him, he'd be even angrier!

But, serves him right!

"Hmph, old Yun, don't act so cocky. You think I'm afraid of you?"

Boom!

The two immediately started brawling.

Like wild beasts!

The Zhang Family members, and those traveling with them—Bai Family, Zhao Mushen, Meng Ziqiu, Su Yun—quickly backed away, all silent at the sight.

Yang Yi asked, perplexed, "Why does the Yunshan Clan have so much hostility toward the Zhang Family? And how dare they even make a move?"

Zhang Yuanshan's mouth twitched, replying, "Uh, probably because they resent the Zhang Family for not taking them along."

"Taking along?"

Yang Yi was stunned, then suddenly slapped his forehead, giving Zhang Yuanshan a strange look.

Having stayed with the Zhang Family, he knew they'd once cooperated with the Yunshan Clan.

"If it were me, I'd never forgive your Zhang Family either!"

To hitch a ride with the Young Lord, that would be like ancestors smiling from their graves!

The Yunshan Clan once had a chance, too.

But the Zhang Family kept them outside the door!

How could Yun Changge not be furious?

Watching those red-eyed Yunshan Clan members, Zhang Yuanshan gave a sheepish smile, then snorted and lifted his chin in pride!

"Such beautiful women."

Su Yun's eyes suddenly lit up, amazed at the approaching group in the distance.

In the center of the group, two women drew all attention.

Both appeared twenty-seven or twenty-eight; their jade fingers slender, skin flawless and white as snow, and in conversation they radiated an indescribable noble aura.

The guards around them—the weakest were all at Myriad Manifestations Realm Perfection.

And one elderly man, seeing him, sent chills down Su Yun's spine.

A True Monarch!

Tuoba Hongyu and Bai Jingxue turned to look as well, shock across their faces.

"That old man must be a True Monarch!"

Tuoba Hongyu's eyes sharpened, her voice solemn: "These two are definitely of extraordinary status!"

Suddenly, it was as if the other party noticed the three women's gazes and looked their way.

Then, the two women actually strode over.

The three women exchanged glances, alert in their hearts.

"Su Yun, Tuoba Hongyu, Bai Jingxue, my royal brother really has good fortune," Can Yunwu scanned the three, giving a cold, mocking smile.

Royal brother?

At these words, the three women changed color in shock.

The woman's identity was immediately clear!

Tuoba Hongyu stepped forward, saying coolly, "It seems Her Highness the Princess suffered a loss at Xu Yang's hands."

"I'm truly curious—where did Your Highness get the guts to provoke him?"

Directly exposing her sore spot, Can Yunwu's complexion turned ashen in an instant.

"You widow of a fallen house, think you can stand before me?"

In the depths of Tuoba Hongyu's eyes flashed a trace of pain, minute and almost unnoticeable, yet her expression remained unchanged: "Whether I or the Barbarian Race, if we are inferior in skill, we must bear the consequences!"

"I had thought the Princess of Daqian would be rather impressive. But seeing you today—I am truly disappointed!"

Tuoba Hongyu looked on with a sneer: "Aspire to be Empress? You should look in the mirror first. If I were the Emperor of Daqian, I would never choose you!"

"You—"
