"It's true that we had a pretty good relationship with Cold Immortal Mountain. But, Sister Xia, you know that ever since the Supreme Sect Master of Cold Immortal Mountain wiped out the Seers and sent most of the world's disciples back to Cold Immortal Mountain, our Ancient Dragon House stopped using their people. Especially since Cold Immortal Mountain later gave Sky City's territory to the Northern Fox House—that was what started this war." Ancient Dragon Xiu explained.
"Mm, I see. To balance the forces from all four directions, Sky City forcibly split apart quite a few lineages to achieve equilibrium. It was only natural that this disaster would follow. If this had happened back when Sky City still possessed authority, it would undoubtedly have been a good order. But now, they've only lifted a rock and dropped it on their own feet." I couldn't help smiling bitterly. I never would have imagined that a competition could become the starting point. While rebuilding the Northern Fox House, it had also drawn back the curtain on the Four Emperors' war.
"Exactly. It wasn't only the Ancient Dragon House that had strong objections. I heard that even the ancestor of the Shengtu House flew into a rage. So after the war between the Shengtu House and the Jiufang House began, Father led the Ancient Dragon House to reclaim the Lingyang House's territory..." Ancient Dragon Xiu hurriedly explained.
"You probably don't know this, but the Lingyang House's territory originally belonged to the Northern Fox House, do you? Sky City wouldn't split things up for no reason." I smiled.
Ancient Dragon Xiu muttered, "Hmph, Sister Xia, you don't know what the Lingyang House was like back then. That place, including Cold Immortal Mountain, was dirt-poor. The Lingyang House was merely one of the sixty-four lineages.
