Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty, Ouyang Ning

Feng Qingyang nodded in satisfaction. Making some promises was enough to motivate the strong members below, a skill he had honed over many years as sect leader.

Is it wrong of me to do this?

Ye Jie and his apprentice, one was fooled by him, and the other was fooled by his empty promises... cough cough! Actually, he was doing this for their own good...

Once you're motivated, you'll achieve twice the results with half the effort.

Meanwhile, in the Immortal Rainbow Dao Domain, on the Qinghan Immortal Continent...

To the east of the Qinghan Immortal Continent, in a remote area near the Hidden Immortal Sea, lies an Immortal Dynasty comprised of dozens of large and small immortal cities. This Immortal Dynasty is named Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty.

The Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty is an imperial dynasty, and the strongest person in the country is only at the Immortal Emperor realm. Compared to the vast Qinghan Immortal Continent, it is insignificant and extremely small.

The ruler of the Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty is Ouyang Jing, the lord of the Ouyang Jing Ouyang Immortal Clan. Ouyang Jing is exceptionally talented and reached the Immortal Emperor realm at the age of three thousand. He is the cultivator in the Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty with the best chance of breaking through to the Immortal Venerable realm.

The hundreds of millions of people of the Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty all admired him greatly. In their hearts, they only hoped that this once-in-a-millennium hero could successfully break through and lead them to rise up in strength, no longer living in a corner of the world.

Unfortunately, Ouyang Jing failed to break through and perished in a lightning tribulation some time ago.

Taking advantage of the situation, the Three Great Clans seized control of the government and massacred the cultivators of the former ruler Ouyang Immortal Clan. As a result, the Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty descended into chaos, and the people suffered greatly.

"Senior Brother, in my opinion, the Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty is quite good. The strongest members of those Three Great Clans are only at the Immortal Emperor Realm, making them very easy to control."

"Alright, then let's choose the Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty. The four immortal continents in the Nine Heavens Dao Domain have been stirred up by sect disciples and elders, so let's start our journey of training and making a name for ourselves here."

On a quiet path outside the Azure Cloud Imperial Capital, three figures walked slowly. The leader was dressed in a black outfit, with a tall and imposing figure and a resolute face as if carved by a knife.

The young man on the left has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and an otherworldly air about him. He carries a three-foot-long sword on his back.

The woman on the right wore a fiery red dress, her skin was as white as snow, and her beauty was beyond compare.

The three were none other than Shi Hao, the First Personal Disciple the Azure Cloud Sect; Lin Bai, the Second Personal Disciple the Sect Master; and Hua Qingyu, the Third Personal Disciple.

"Soaring Clouds, Soaring Clouds, this name sounds beautiful and has a good meaning."

"A rainbow descends with the wind to the azure sky, overlooking the autumn of the Immortal Realm from the Soaring Clouds."

As Lin Bai pondered the matter, he couldn't help but compose another poem.

What's that saying again? Keep writing wherever you go; even if you can't write a poem, you can still compose one.

Given time, the titles of Sword Immortal and Poet Immortal in the Heavenly Universe Immortal Realm will surely belong to him.

"Second Junior Brother, your writing skills have improved a lot during your time out here training. Not bad, not bad," Shi Hao said with a smile, patting his shoulder.

"Let's not talk about that now. Business is more important. Junior Brother, Narcissus Elder, Elder Lin, and Little White are all waiting for news from us in Lingxu Immortal City."

Just as the three were discussing the specific plan, a commotion suddenly broke out ahead.

A startled celestial beast was seen dragging a tattered flying chariot as it sped towards them at breakneck speed, followed closely by hundreds of Black-Robed Men wielding knives in hot pursuit.

"We absolutely cannot let these remnants of the Ouyang family escape! All of you, speed up! Kill!" shouted the imposing Black-Robed Men at the head of the group.

"Senior Brother, what should we do? They're charging this way." Lin Bai frowned, pondering to himself. His master had once said that when one is far from home, one should stay away from matters that are not one's business, so as not to invite unnecessary trouble.

"Wait, what did the Black-Robed Men say? Remnants of the Ouyang family?" Shi Hao grasped the key point in the Black-Robed Men's words, and an idea struck him. Wasn't this his chance?

"Hey! You guys in front, stop that imperial carriage right now! Otherwise, you'll be charged with treason too!"

The leader of the Black-Robed Men spotted Shi Hao and his two companions at the end of the road ahead and immediately shouted a threat.

Just then, the startled celestial beast pulled the flying chariot and sped up in front of Shi Hao the other two. When it sensed the dangerous aura emanating from them, its survival instinct as a celestial beast made it stop abruptly in place.

With a crash, the already dilapidated flying chariot behind them overturned and fell to the ground, becoming even more broken. A girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old crawled out of it in a disheveled state.

The girl wore a well-fitting, bright purple dress and a magnificent phoenix crown. Her eyes were clear but slightly bewildered, and her attire seemed out of place with the dilapidated flying chariot.

"Xiao Xi? Xiao Xi? Why did you stop? Those bad guys are catching up!" The girl glanced at the approaching Black-Robed Men behind her in a panic, still unaware of Shi Hao and his two companions in front of her.

"Finally caught up. This little celestial beast isn't very powerful, but it's quite fast."

"Your Empress Your Majesty, you're doing so well as Empress, why can't you understand why you want to rebel?"

Because of this delay, the hundreds of Black-Robed Men arrived. The leader of the Black-Robed Men stepped forward with a sword in hand, his expression ferocious.

The girl clenched her teeth upon hearing this. "Don't you want to see what you're saying? I'm already the Empress, why would I rebel? Rebel against whom? Against myself?"

It's clearly the Three Great Clans plotting a rebellion! And they're even turning the tables, accusing the Heavenly Gang of wrongdoing!

The girl's full name is Ouyang Ning, and her Ningning. She is the daughter of Ouyang Jing, the former Soaring Clouds Master. Her cultivation is mediocre, and she is not very old, so she is easily controlled.

Therefore, the Three Great Clans of Soaring Clouds spared her and put her on the throne as Empress, making her a temporary puppet.

But she was determined to escape the control of her enemies who had wiped out her clan, and finally found an opportunity to escape on the back of the celestial beast she had raised since childhood.

"How dare you! What do you traitors want to do?" Ouyang Ning shouted loudly, his heart filled with despair, knowing that he could not escape after all.

"Oh ho? You dare to reprimand us? Calling you Empress is an honor; you're nothing but a useless puppet from beginning to end!"

"Hmm... but I must say, our Empress Your Majesty is quite beautiful. As you know, I'm not one to waste food; I usually lick every single grain of rice in my bowl clean." The leader of the Black-Robed Men grinned and licked his lips.

Ouyang Ning understood the meaning behind his words, and her eyes widened in shock. She pointed at them and said, "You! You dare!"

"Hahaha! Brothers, Her Empress Your Majesty is asking us a question, do you dare to challenge her?"

"Haha! If our leader dares, we dare! We will always obey our leader's commands!"

"Okay! Everyone go to the back and line up."

This scene left Shi Hao and his two companions in front of them completely bewildered. How did they end up in line?

"Hey, are you guys treating the three of us like we're invisible?" Lin Bai frowned. They had just threatened them, and now they were treating them like they were invisible?

"Huh? I almost forgot about you three."

"What? You want to queue up too, kid?"
