In the rain, many factions lay hidden in the shadows. It was not only the people of Cloud Marquis's Mansion; Spirit Creek Sect, Heavenly Sound Martial Mansion, Dark Emperor City, and many other factions had gathered here, all with the goal of eliminating Ning Xiaochuan.
This was not as simple as killing Ning Xiaochuan. It also involved a confrontation between the two great powers at court, a game between the Jade Ripple Great Emperor and the Great Golden Roc King.

Cloud Marquis was a blade in the Jade Ripple Great Emperor's hand. The Jade Ripple Great Emperor was using Cloud Marquis's forces in the Emperor Ruins to eliminate Ning Xiaochuan and cut off future trouble at its roots.
