Upon learning that the revival of the Wind Emperor required a journey to Skylaw Continent, one of the Ten Super Continents of the Great Thousand World, Mo Yu etched this information deep in his heart. He planned to investigate after breaking through to Earthly Supre.
For now, however, he decided to remain with the Yuchang Clan’s convoy, using the opportunity to gather crucial intelligence.
Over the next few days, aside from encountering so minor troubles, the convoy’s speed remained largely unaffected. As their journey continued, they drew closer to the fabled Xiong Bing City.
During this ti, after recuperating and regulating his breath, Mo Yu had recovered about seventy to eighty percent of his strength. His internal injuries were also healing rapidly under the dual effects of spiritual energy and dicinal pills. At this rate, he would soon be able to attempt a breakthrough to Earthly Supre.
Despite his recovery, Mo Yu kept a low profile—drawing attention had never been his style.
With his current strength, concealing his presence was effortless. Even Yuchang Ran would likely struggle to detect him.
However, Mo Yu noticed sothing peculiar. Despite his perfect disguise, Yuchang Ran had grown noticeably friendlier toward him over the past few days.
Tasks within the convoy that required labor were no longer assigned to him after she instructed her subordinates. Mo Yu could sense that this preferential treatnt was not without reason.
Perhaps, a woman’s intuition truly was terrifying. Even though he was certain he had left no traces behind, Yuchang Ran still seed to harbor faint suspicions. From ti to ti, her gaze lingered on him with curiosity and contemplation.
Additionally, whenever she had free ti, Yuchang Ran would often approach Mo Yu for seemingly casual conversations. Yet, beneath the surface, she was subtly probing into his identity and origins.
Naturally, with Mo Yu’s experience and background, exposing himself to a re girl was out of the question. His half-truths and ambiguous responses frustrated Yuchang Ran, leaving her feeling as if she were striking cotton—no matter how much effort she put in, she found no solid ground.
The journey continued, marked by Yuchang Ran’s relentless probing and speculation.
On the fifth day, just as the convoy set up camp, an chanical bird bearing the Yuchang Clan’s crest flew in from the direction of Xiong Bing City.
Taking the letter from a guard, Yuchang Ran unfolded it and scanned the contents. Almost imdiately, her delicate face turned icy cold, and anger flickered in her eyes.
Her change in expression silenced the previously lively camp. Everyone stood up, turning their attention toward her.
"Miss, what happened?" a Yuchang Clan guard asked in a deep voice.
"It’s a ssage from the main clan," Yuchang Ran said coldly. "It warns us that the Gongshu Clan is planning to make a move against us. We must be on guard."
"The Gongshu Clan?" soone muttered before cursing, "Damn it! Those bastards again."
A few days prior, the convoy had nearly suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Gongshu Clan’s chanical beasts, if not for the intervention of a mysterious figure.
"What are they after this ti?" the head guard asked with a frown.
Yuchang Ran’s expression remained frosty as she replied, "The Gongshu Clan wants our Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall and core artifact blueprints.
Additionally, they demand that we swear allegiance to them and beco their vassals. But in reality, their ultimate goal is to devour our Yuchang Clan and establish themselves as the absolute rulers of Myriad Weapons Region."
Her words darkened the faces of everyone present. The conditions set by the Gongshu Clan filled them with rage.
"They really think we’re pushovers?" one of the guards snarled. "How dare they make such an outrageous demand!"
Yuchang Ran ignored the outburst, her eyes subtly shifting toward Mo Yu, who was seated by the campfire.
Yet, the silver-eyed youth appeared indifferent, casually tending to the fire while chatting with Yuchang Wan’er in hushed tones.
Frowning slightly, Yuchang Ran withdrew her gaze and commanded in a cold tone, "We will enter Xiong Bing City’s territory tomorrow. Everyone, stay vigilant."
"Yes, Miss!"
The guards responded in unison.
Yuchang Ran nodded, casting another brief glance at Mo Yu before disappearing into her tent.
As her figure vanished, the campfire’s glow reflected off the somber faces of the remaining guards. The threat of the Gongshu Clan lood over them like an oppressive mountain.
After a prolonged silence, Mo Yu stretched lazily and glanced at the girl beside him.
"Wan’er, is the Gongshu Clan really that powerful?"
Yuchang Wan’er’s expression turned solemn.
"To be honest, our Yuchang Clan was once the strongest force on Myriad Weapons Region. However, decades ago, the heir to the main clan, out of sheer recklessness, secretly took our ancestral treasure, the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall, and ventured beyond our borders—only to perish in foreign lands.
"The Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall is an ancestral relic passed down by our forebears. Not only can it refine weapons autonomously, but it is also equivalent to a Heaven Grade Weapon Refiner.
"With its loss, our clan not only lost an invaluable expert but also suffered severe setbacks in business and trade.
"Moreover, the patriach of the main clan had only one son. After his tragic death, the succession fell into chaos. Various factions within the clan fought fiercely for control, engaging in power struggles that weakened us significantly."
As Yuchang Wan’er spoke, her small face carried a trace of sorrow.
"anwhile, the Gongshu Clan seized this opportunity to rise. Within a few short decades, they surpassed us completely.
"To make matters worse, the Gongshu Clan’s patriach managed to marry off his daughter to a high-ranking elder of the Blood God Clan, one of the Four Great God Clans of the Western Heaven Realm.
"With this powerful backing, the Gongshu Clan’s influence skyrocketed. They beca even more rampant and domineering."
Yuchang Wan’er sighed deeply.
"My father once said that the Gongshu Clan has only managed to reach such heights because of this political marriage. After all, in the Western Heaven Realm, the Blood God Clan is one of the Four Great God Clans.
"Compared to them, our Yuchang Clan is simply too insignificant."
Hearing the na Blood God Clan, Mo Yu’s eyes flashed with surprise.
He hadn’t expected to hear about the Four Great God Clans so soon.
According to what he knew, these Four Great God Clans were the true rulers of the Western Heaven Realm. Countless forces either submitted to them or perished in resistance.
For thousands of years, these clans had dominated the realm, their conflicts endless and bloody.
Among them, the Luo God Clan had once reigned supre, standing at the very pinnacle of the divine hierarchy.
Back then, the other three divine clans had been suppressed beneath its might, unable to challenge its authority.
However, over ti, the Luo God Clan began to decline, gradually losing its position.
In the end, the remaining three rose to power, shifting the balance of the Western Heaven Realm forever.
"Mo Yu, be careful. I never expected that the forces on this continent would have ties to the Blood God Clan. If I rember correctly, that clan is quite powerful.
The current patriach of the Blood God Clan is not only a high-rank Earthly Supre expert, but their clan also has many other Earthly Supres. If you attract the attention of their powerful figures, with your current strength, you may not be able to handle them." Wind Emperor’s voice echoed in Mo Yu’s mind.
Hearing Wind Emperor’s warning, Mo Yu nodded solemnly. He had also heard of the Blood God Clan’s strength. Before breaking through to Earthly Supre, it was best to avoid provoking such a force.
"Alright, everyone, get so rest. Increase the number of night watchers, and keep your eyes sharp tomorrow. Once we reach the main clan, we should be safe."
At this mont, the guard captain of the Yuchang Clan let out a deep sigh, stood up, waved his hand, and then turned to leave, leaving behind a group of frustrated individuals glaring at the campfire.
Yuchang Wan’er glanced at Mo Yu, hesitated for a mont, and then said, "Big Brother Mo Yu, the conflict between the Gongshu Clan and my Yuchang Clan won’t be so easily resolved. Once we reach Xiong Bing City, you should find an opportunity to leave. I don’t want you to get dragged into this."
Although Yuchang Wan’er knew Mo Yu was strong, she didn’t believe he could surpass the Gongshu Clan’s might. She didn’t want him to be caught up in danger because of them.
After speaking, Yuchang Wan’er added so firewood to the flas and then turned away.
Watching her retreating figure, Mo Yu was montarily stunned before shaking his head with a sigh. "What a kind-hearted girl..."
Clapping the dust off his hands, Mo Yu stood up, greeted the others, and slowly returned to his carriage. Once inside, he recalled what Yuchang Wan’er had said about the Blood God Clan and murmured to himself.
"Looks like I need to break through to Earthly Supre as soon as possible."
The sun shone brightly in the clear sky, and beams of scorching light poured down relentlessly. Even the trees lining the road seed to droop slightly under the sweltering heat.
On a wide road, a convoy galloped forward, kicking up clouds of dust along the way.
"Everyone, be alert! We’re about to enter the Xiong Bing City region!"
A crisp voice rang out from within the convoy. Everyone tensed up, their eyes fixed on a stone marker at the end of the road. Instinctively, their hands reached for the weapons on their backs, and those holding reins felt their palms grow slightly sweaty.
Like a herd of enraged bulls, the convoy charged forward, rumbling across the road. Within minutes, they were nearing the stone marker.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as they passed the marker, the sharp sound of wind tearing apart suddenly echoed through the air. In the next instant, countless arrows shot out from the dense forests on both sides, engulfing the entire convoy in a deadly rain of projectiles.
The sudden ambush startled many, but they had been prepared. Waves of spiritual energy burst forth, deflecting the incoming arrows.
"Heh, looks like you were ready for this... but unfortunately, it’s futile."
A mocking voice drifted from the forest as a large group of shadowy figures erged, swiftly blocking the road to Xiong Bing City. What concerned the Yuchang Clan most, however, were the two elderly figures standing at the forefront of the black-clad group.
Both wore black robes, and on their chests was an identical black emblem.
"The Gongshu Clan..."
Upon seeing that emblem, the mbers of the Yuchang Clan narrowed their eyes.
"Heh, Yuchang Ran, co on out. You escaped last ti, but this ti, you won’t be so lucky."
Ignoring the Yuchang Clan’s guards, a young man leisurely stepped forward from behind the two elders. His gaze locked onto Yuchang Ran’s carriage, and he chuckled.
This man was none other than Gongshu Zan, whom they had encountered before.
Creak—
The carriage door slowly opened, and Yuchang Ran gracefully stepped down, her delicate face cold and emotionless. Her icy gaze t Gongshu Zan’s as she sneered.
"Oh? I didn’t expect Young Master Gongshu Zan to admit to the previous attack so openly. You went to such great lengths just to deal with a weak girl like . I must say, I’m truly honored."
Although she spoke in a teasing manner, Yuchang Ran felt a heavy weight in her heart. Gongshu Zan alone was not a major concern, but the two elders beside him were both at the fifth-grade Supre level—far stronger than the chanical Serpent from before.
It seed that ever since that mysterious figure had intervened last ti, the Gongshu Clan had co fully prepared this ti.
"No need for idle chatter. Until your Yuchang main clan agrees to our conditions, you have no chance of entering Xiong Bing City."
Gongshu Zan’s expression darkened as his eyes road over Yuchang Ran’s graceful figure, flashing with desire.
"Impossible!"
Yuchang Ran’s eyes turned cold. With a flick of her jade hand, a long sword appeared in her grasp.
"Stubborn."
Seeing her resistance, the elder standing to Gongshu Zan’s left shook his head, his eyes flashing with impatience. With a single step forward, he instantly appeared before her.
With a swift movent of his palm, a powerful force surged forth, sealing off all of Yuchang Ran’s escape routes.
Watching the elder attack with his full strength, Yuchang Ran’s face paled slightly. Clenching her teeth, she raised her palm and struck back.
Boom!
The two palms collided, sending a fierce shockwave through the air, forcing the surrounding people to retreat hastily. Yuchang Ran, anwhile, was sent staggering backward over a dozen steps before she finally managed to steady herself.
"To withstand a strike from , you do have so skill."
The Gongshu elder remained motionless, glancing at Yuchang Ran indifferently before taking another step forward. Once again, he appeared before her, his palm sweeping forth with even greater force than before.
Sensing the intensified assault, despair flickered in Yuchang Ran’s eyes. Against a Fifth Grade Supre, she had no chance of resistance.
Just as the powerful palm was about to strike her, a spiritual energy arrow suddenly shot out from the side. With a loud bang, it effortlessly dispelled the elder’s attack and even forced him to retreat several steps.
"Hmph! Gongshu Clan, you’ve gone too far! Attacking my branch clan mbers at Xiong Bing City’s gates—do you really think my Yuchang Clan has no one to stand against you!?"
As the crowd reeled in shock, a stern voice suddenly erupted in the sky.
Clearly, reinforcents from the Yuchang main clan had arrived...
