Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 1734 - 1056: The Arrogance of the Chi Huang Clan (2)

She spoke with reason; the demon birds hold the phoenix in high regard. Though Chi Huang is not a phoenix, it possesses the phoenix bloodline, qualifying it to rule over all birds.

But the problem is that Chi Huang stands aloof, completely dismissing those humble sparrows.

According to the Chi Huang Clan, the little lark dares to dream of reaching the heights of my phoenix lineage.

Therefore, under the Chi Huang Clan are demon birds like the colorful Feathered Simurgh, Cangming Eagle, and Cloud Traveling White Crane, while the Yun Que Clan doesn’t even have the qualification to be their vassals.

The Chi Huang Clan, unattainable by the Yun Que Clan, let alone the Demon Emperor, beyond their reach.

Upon hearing Que Lingyu’s words, Li Ye couldn’t help but become furious. With a bang, crimson flames rose from his body, an overwhelming aura burst forth, nearly toppling the Jade Sky Hall.

"Are you seeking to antagonize the Demon Court!"

Que Lingyu was undeterred, strong winds howled fiercely, her stance unwavering, "It’s you who want to make an enemy of my Sky Cloud Sword Sect!"

Ching!

The sound of swords rang, fierce sword intent soared into the sky, two sword edges pointed directly at Li Ye.

A green and gray spiritual light shot forth from Yang Zhenshan’s eyes, the Life and Death Tai Chi Diagram manifesting behind him, he regarded Li Ye with an inspecting gaze.

Lifespan one thousand eight hundred and thirty-two years, consumption ratio seven to one.

This Li Ye is comparable in strength to the Yellow Springs Ancestor, slightly stronger than the Chi Yuan Ancestor.

The atmosphere grew tense, the terrifying pressure spread from the Jade Sky Hall to the entirety of the White Cloud Immortal City, within the Sky Cloud Sword Sect, many foundation establishment elders solemnly looked toward Li Ye’s personal followers, appearing ready to encircle them.

Li Ye didn’t come alone, he brought several Chi Huang Demon Clan with him, but here is the Sky Cloud Sword Sect, a few Chi Huang Demon Clan can’t possibly topple the Sky Cloud Sword Sect.

Inside the hall, Yang Zhenshan glanced at the side, where Yun Xiao’s eyes released brilliant sword light, his gaze seemingly sharper than the Light Splitting Sword in his hand.

Moreover, his sword intent was not far inferior to Jian Changhe’s.

It seems Yun Xiao has truly grasped the divine skills of sword intent, and it is quite a remarkable sword intent divine skill. The potency of this sword intent divine skill is yet to be seen.

The four of them released their pressure simultaneously, though their cultivation was far inferior to Li Ye’s, he still felt immense pressure.

Especially Yang Zhenshan’s gaze, it gave him an uneasy feeling as if something sharp was pricking his back.

Li Ye’s expression turned blue and white, his arrogant temperament made him consider the Sky Cloud Sword Sect’s resistance a form of humiliation.

"Fine, I will remember this debt, I will report this to the Phoenix Venerable exactly as it happened!"

With that, he withdrew his aura and flames, his figure flickered and flew out of the Jade Sky Hall.

"Let’s go!"

In the blink of an eye, he left the White Cloud Immortal City with several followers.

Que Lingyu looked in the direction they departed, her face as dark as if water could drip from it.

"I knew these arrogant fellows would only cause trouble!"

She was most angered by Li Ye’s overbearing attitude, and she had no fondness for the Chi Huang Clan at all.

Yang Zhenshan walked to her side, arms crossed as he watched Li Ye and the others’ figures disappear between the sky and horizon, "Now it’s interesting, even if we want to stand by the Wanhua Demon Court, we need to reconsider!"

"Hmph, I refuse to believe without them, we can’t accomplish anything!" Que Lingyu sneered.

Jian Changhe said, "Behaving as the Chi Huang Clan does, few would want to cooperate with them!"

Yang Zhenshan turned his head to say, "If that’s the case, why not cooperate with the Qingyuan Fox Clan? I have some connections with the Qingyuan Fox Clan!"

Que Lingyu shook her head, "No rush, let’s wait!"

Yang Zhenshan heard her words and said no more.

Easy deals are not good deals; whether it’s the Chi Huang Clan or the Qingyuan Fox Clan, they are key powers of the Demon Court. Even if the Sky Cloud Sword Sect wants to ally with them, it cannot be too proactive, or they would be looked down upon.

Today’s Li Ye is an example; why does he dare to be so forceful? It’s not just because of his arrogance, but because he calculated that the Sky Cloud Sword Sect cannot resist the Unpredictable Ghost Sect and must rely on their Demon Court.

Although dealing with the Qingyuan Fox Clan is easier than with the Chi Huang Clan, in such matters, the Qingyuan Fox Clan shares the same intentions as the Chi Huang Clan.

As the saying goes, "A friend would rather die a pauper than live a miser," the Wanhua Demon Court currently seeks not allies, but cannon fodder.

"How about this, I’ll keep an eye on the Unpredictable Ghost Sect and see what they will do next!" Yang Zhenshan volunteered to take on the surveillance task.

Que Lingyu turned to look at him, "Can you handle it? Maybe I should go instead!"

Currently, the Unpredictable Ghost Sect in the northern part of the Wanhua Mountain Range is primarily led by An Wusheng and Yu Yuan, one is at the Golden Core Peak, the other is late-stage Golden Core. Monitoring them is no easy task.

Though Que Lingyu also lacks certainty in tracking them without being noticed, at least she could escape. With her speed, if she wanted to flee, An Wusheng and Yu Yuan might not be able to catch her.

"The sect needs senior sister to oversee things. Rest assured, senior sister, I will be cautious!" Yang Zhenshan chuckled lightly.

In terms of speed, Yang Zhenshan couldn’t match Que Lingyu, but in terms of concealment techniques, Yang Zhenshan far surpassed Que Lingyu.

Que Lingyu thought for a moment, then nodded helplessly, "Be careful, survival is paramount if things can’t be done!"

It’s a tumultuous time; with the White Cloud True Monarch absent, only she could oversee the sect.

...

Among the verdant layers in the northern Wanhua Mountain Range, a vague mist enveloped vast stretches of forest and mountain peaks.

The mist covered an area over thirty miles in defense, seemingly enveloping several mountain peaks; from the air, it’s a field of dense white mist.

Within the void, Yang Zhenshan was shrouded in Green Mist Hidden Dust, quietly watching the boundless white mist of the real world.

This is the camp of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, yet the entire camp is shrouded in an array, and it’s a third-tier array, so Yang Zhenshan cannot probe the internal situation of the array, only staying in the void to monitor.

This may seem like a clumsy method, but it’s effective.

Any moves by the Unpredictable Ghost Sect can’t escape Yang Zhenshan’s eyes and spiritual sense.

It’s just that sticking here to keep watch is tedious, Green Mist Hidden Dust has concealment abilities, but doesn’t allow Yang Zhenshan to wander freely. He must remain like a stump in place.

"It’s a pity the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower hasn’t progressed; otherwise, I could use spiritual sense to probe inside the array!"

Third-tier arrays have the effect of isolating the void and spiritual senses, whereas the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower can conceal spiritual senses; if it were a spiritual artifact, perhaps Yang Zhenshan’s spiritual sense could stealthily infiltrate the array.

Yang Zhenshan has been nurturing the spirituality of the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower, even using a bottle of Dao Spirit Potion on it, yet the tower hasn’t advanced to a spiritual artifact.

Currently, Yang Zhenshan lacks materials to refine more Dao Spirit Potion; otherwise, he wouldn’t mind providing several bottles for the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower.
