The void trembled.
The illusion surrounding Chen Shuangbai trembled slightly before settling back down after a while, but a hint of seriousness appeared in her eyes.
He looked closely.
The two giant hands formed from golden lightning tore the void apart, and the voice of the Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator clearly came from an extremely distant place, crossing the void.
Even so, those golden lightning bolts still illuminated the heavens and the earth, chilling people to the bone!
"No!"
Chen Shuangbai's mind raced, and she made a new decision.
"Even a move from a distance possesses such terrifying power... No... I cannot confront him head-on. I must force my way through Dingyang Pass before he fully arrives here!"
At present.
The five Nascent Soul at Dingyang Pass looked at the leaping golden lightning in the sky, their faces showing a mixture of surprise and joy.
Feng Guiyuan forward, his expression complex, but his tone excessively respectful. He bowed deeply towards the torn void, saying, "Your subject Feng Guiyuan, the garrison commander of Dingyang Pass, respectfully welcomes Prince Shiyang to slay the Five Lotus Sect demons!"
Prince Shiyang?
Chen Shuangbai had already planned to make a move, and now, upon hearing the man's identity, she became even more decisive.
A comet shines brightly!
Chen Shuangbai unleashed another terrifying crimson sword light, which overlapped with the previous one and struck the fifth-order formation of Dingyang Pass once more. The two combined, drawing out a wisp of Moon Comet True Intention as it fell!
Rumble!
Endless crimson and black starlight shone. This fifth-order formation originally had five Nascent Soul Divine Ability combining their divine abilities, which briefly overwhelmed Chen Shuangbai light. However, under the second sword light, a corner of the thousands of golden talisman lights collapsed.
Instead, a huge gap was revealed!
"A great opportunity!"
Chen Shuangbai leaped into the air, transforming into a golden-white sword rainbow, and jumped into the collapsed gap. Under the stunned gazes of the five Nascent Soul Cultivator guarding the gate, who suffered a slight backlash from the collapse of a corner of the formation and were forced to take several steps back, Chen Shuangbai easily passed through and fled straight out of the Great Chu territory!
They easily passed through it and escaped to the outskirts of the Great Chu!
He was incredibly fast, disappearing almost instantly into the mist swirling among the mountains.
"How... is this possible?"
Lan Hua looked completely taken aback.
But Feng Guiyuan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his heart was filled with cold, and he felt as if all his Divine Ability had been frozen through.
These five men were the garrison commanders of Dingyang Pass. The Great Chu army was known for its strict discipline. If Chen Shuangbai were to force his way through today, what awaited them... would be accountability from the imperial court, and possibly even punishment from the Emperor of Chu!
"Your Majesty!"
Feng Guiyuan almost cried out in despair.
at the same time.
From the void rift created by the two thunderous hands, a furious voice rolled in like thunder from the heavens:
"How dare the thief?"
With this roar, a bolt of pure, golden lightning burst forth. Its terrifying power shattered the void, destroyed mountains and rivers, and scattered clouds wherever it passed. Even lands that were not directly touched were affected by the aftershocks of this power, leaving long, charred marks.
In the blink of an eye, this terrifying bolt of lightning had caught up with Chen Shuangbai!
Faced with this terrifying attack, Chen Shuangbai's Dao Heart frantically issued a warning!
" Haoming Boy!"
A flash of purple light appeared, followed by an endless expanse of purple-gold iridescence. Accompanied by wisps of golden auspicious clouds, thunderous drumbeats, fluttering banners, and boundless purple light echoing between heaven and earth, it finally coalesced into a majestic Purple-Gold Heavenly Gate!
The Purple-Gold Heavenly Gate stretched across Chen Shuangbai's back, its iridescent light shimmering as layers of palaces opened one after another, completely engulfing the terrifying lightning bolt that had been relentlessly pursuing him.
Boom!
Haoming Boy let out a muffled groan, and his true form, the Purple-Gold Heavenly Gate, trembled violently. The rich purple-gold light flowing above the Heavenly Gate also dimmed... but that was all.
At Dingyang Pass, a magnificent carriage slowly descended from the pass, pulled by two dragon-horses with their feet on auspicious clouds and their bodies surrounded by thunder. Seated inside the carriage was a dignified middle-aged man dressed in a black and gold dragon robe.
This man is none other than Prince Shiyang!
However, Prince Shiyang was also somewhat surprised and uncertain at this moment. Even from a thousand miles away, he glanced at the majestic Purple-Gold Heavenly Gate, " Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure?"
But taking advantage of his momentary lapse in concentration, Chen Shuangbai accelerated again, his aura and figure vanishing without a trace.
Prince Shiyang's face immediately darkened. He steered his magnificent carriage towards the borders of the Wind Kingdom, beyond the Great Chu, in pursuit. But at that very moment—
A pure white beam of light pierced through the air from within the Wind Kingdom, and in an instant, it had already reached the face of Prince Shiyang.
Wherever this pure white light passed, it stirred countless spiritual energies, transforming them into countless shapes of weapons, forcing Prince Shiyang to stop and summon a disc-shaped Spirit Treasure.
Boom!
The pure white light struck the disc, but it did not injure Prince Shiyang. It merely stopped him from charging forward in his magnificent chariot.
" Prince Shiyang, you are a noble prince of the Great Chu, yet you have trespassed into the territory of my Wind Kingdom. Do you wish to start a war?"
The void shattered, and endless pure white emanated from it. A magnificent white deer slowly walked out from it, and on its back was a middle-aged Daoist priest carrying a sword and dressed in plain white robes.
The carriage suddenly stopped in mid-air. The two thunderous dragon horses reared up and neighed, but under the pressure and aura of the Daoist priest, they dared not take another step forward.
Prince Shiyang's face was grim as he stared intently at the Daoist who had come to cause trouble. He said coldly, " Guan Yue, I knew it was your White Emperor City that was rebelling!"
"If you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext."
Upon hearing these words from Prince Shiyang, the middle-aged Daoist priest known as Guan Yue simply uttered this one sentence.
But this nonchalant attitude only angered Prince Shiyang even more.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing that the aura was about to dissipate, Prince Shiyang was extremely anxious. Thousands of golden lightning bolts danced around him, and the terrifying power even affected the two lightning dragon horses under the carriage, making them vaguely resemble flying dragons.
"Today, I am only pursuing and killing that Five Lotus Sect fiend who forcibly broke into Dingyang Pass of my Great Chu. I have no intention of engaging in verbal sparring with you, Guan Yue, here!"
But the more he acted this way, the less Guan Yue could let him go.
At the same time, the Spirit Transformation Profound Lord White Emperor City also turned cold. With a flick of his whisk, thousands of pure white lights outlined behind him, and countless Sword Qi rose from the illusory landscape, aiming at the magnificent carriage of Prince Shiyang.
"This is the territory of the Wind Kingdom, a vassal state that pays tribute to my White Emperor City... You are Spirit Transformation the Great Chu. If I allow you to cross the border, what will become of the dignity of my White Emperor City?"
"Okay, okay!"
Prince Shiyang was also enraged, roaring furiously, "Now I see clearly! So this demon dared to force his way through because your White Emperor City is supporting him?"
"If that's the case, then there's nothing more to say!"
"Our two families have nothing to say to each other!"
Several days later.
Rumors then began to circulate among the people.
It is said that Mystic Lord Guanyue of White Emperor City and Prince Shiyang of the Great Chu Dynasty, two Spirit Transformation Profound Lord, fought fiercely on the border.
Both were at the Early Spirit Transformation realm, but they showed no mercy in their fight, shattering the mountains and rivers within a radius of hundreds of miles.
In the end, Prince Shiyang was outmatched and was wounded by Lord Guanyue. He then retreated to Dingyang Pass, his face ashen, and left without uttering a word.
As for the specific reason why the two started fighting...
There are many conflicting opinions, none of which are true.
