Flat Cliff Lake.
Between the cliffs on either side, a jade-white river ran straight through the center like a Milky Way, cutting off the Magpie Bridge formation between the two mountain ranges.
At this moment, two figures stood atop the opposing cliffs.
One wore old robes, while the other was dressed in brocade with a magnificent crown. Yet the momentum between them suddenly clashed head-on.
Rumble—
The previously tranquil river below the cliffs instantly surged with waves. Great sprays of water crashed against the trees along the banks, and this pressure spread throughout the surrounding area in all directions.
"Hmph! You're Wind and Clouds? The Inner Academy does not interfere with the Outer Academy—do you intend to break the rules?"
