The Second Elder nodded and said, “He should still be in the city right now. I will ask Old Xu to call him back.”

…

Yun State was quiet and solemn under the curtain of night, but in this cold night, there was a faint feeling of suffocation and suppression that made one feel uneasy.

The security of Yun State was much stricter this night than usual. Not only were there people patrolling the streets and alleys from Beigong Clan, but there were also some buildings in the shadows that occasionally emitted terrifying low voices.

Under the dark night, pairs of blood-red eyes shone fiercely in the dark corners. Those were “primordial barbarian beasts” with green fangs. They were very similar to the “Tao Wu”, one of the four ancient beasts. It was as if a single bite could tear a Soul Formation cultivator to pieces.

“Roar …”

A low roar could be heard continuously. It was as if these primordial savage beasts had sensed something approaching Yun State. That was why they were so uneasy this night.

These primordial savage beasts were ancient exotic beasts. They were extremely rare and had been tamed by the Bei Gong Clan’s ancestors. Although these vicious beasts had lost some of their former savagery, they were still incomparably ferocious. Only large places like Yun State could have them.

As for a small place like Wushuang City, it wasn’t that there wasn’t any distribution on Beigong Clan. Rather, this primordial savage beast had a very arrogant temperament. Even if it was domesticated by Beigong Clan, it wouldn’t stay in a small place with thin Spiritual Qi.

The entire Yun State was very large, and the spiritual energy in the mountains and rivers was also very abundant. Yun State City was even more prosperous. Apart from these terrifying primordial savage beasts in the darkness, there were also auspicious cloud horses and seven-colored immortal deer, which were extremely rare and precious immortal spirit beasts outside the palace buildings in the prosperous area.

Ordinary cultivators wouldn’t dare to touch these immortal spirit beasts that were incomparably precious in the eyes of ordinary people. However, in Yun State, these were only toys belonging to the children of wealthy families, or they could simply be used for pulling carts.

In a prosperous city like Yun State City, the gap between the rich and the poor was especially obvious. Of course, the “rich and the poor” here did not simply refer to wealth.

Wealth was only one aspect. It was good to have more cultivation resources than others, but the most important thing was to have a prominent status and a powerful family force behind him. Only then could one be considered rich.

A small force like the Lu Clan and Beigong Changfeng below Tai Shi Dao Sect could not even bring out a True Cave Stage expert. If they came to Yun State, they could only be considered “poor.”

It was very difficult for such a small force to survive in a large place like Yun State. Rather than being bullied all day long, it was better to go to places with relatively poor spiritual energy to take root.

Just like in the mortal world, a member of a small town might have some strength in the Ten Miles Eight Villages, but if he went to the capital, then he would be nothing.

In Yun State, there were countless rich family disciples. Their clans were all dependent on the Bei Gong clan, but their own strength was not too weak. Therefore, the rich disciples of these large clans were used to being arrogant and domineering in Yun State City.

Outside the brightly lit palaces, the streets were filled with luxurious carriages. However, the carriages were not pulled by ordinary horses. Instead, they were pulled by immortal spirit beasts. Clearly, the golden palaces were filled with rich family disciples.

The Immortal Spirit Beasts were all arrogant and arrogant. They refused to give way when they saw someone. They even raised their heads and stared at each other. They even kept howling and screaming. Obviously, they were accustomed to being arrogant with their own masters.

Therefore, in the end, when people saw these beasts, they would make way for them instead.

At this moment, in front of the largest palace building on Evernight Street, a white-robed Childe with a cold expression walked out. Behind him, there were three smiling Brocade Childe.

On both sides of the palace building, there were quite a few people guarding them in case something happened to Childe. When they arrived outside, an old butler walked up with a few guards and said to the white-clothed Childe, “Childe, you’re out.”

“Mm …”

The white-clothed Childe nodded slightly. His expression was still cold as he asked him, “Uncle Xu, why are you in such a hurry?”

“This …”

The old butler smiled and said, “It’s getting late tonight. The three elders told Childe to go back quickly and not to delay outside …”

Hearing this, the white-clothed Childe frowned and said unhappily, “I’ve been cultivating in the secret realm all day for the past two years. I’ve come out with great difficulty this time. Didn’t I agree to return before dawn?”

“This … presumably, the Wushuang Society is about to arrive. The three elders are concerned about Childe’s cultivation …”

The old butler revealed an embarrassed expression. The further he went, the softer his voice became. Childe shook his hand and said, “Forget it, just go back. I don’t want the three old men to start talking about it again. They don’t mind reading it all day long. I’m still sick of it!”

Only this person in front of him in Yun State would dare to call the three elders “three old fellows”. He was none other than Bei Gongyu and Yun State Yun State, the most talented people in their bloodline.

“Qingnian, come here!”

Bei Gong Yu shouted to a distant exotic beast covered in green flames. However, looking at the exotic beast’s body, it was more than three zhang long and majestic, causing the surrounding immortal spirit beasts to crawl on the ground in fear, trembling unceasingly.

This Azure Flame Beast was no ordinary ferocious beast. Instead, it was a mutated primordial savage beast. Its eyes were green and red, and its entire body was wrapped in azure flames. It was extremely ferocious. It was Bei Gongyu’s mount, and it was called “Azure Nightmare”.

At this moment, the exotic beast fiercely looked at the night sky in the north direction, its eyes revealing a fierce light, its fangs exposed, and it continuously let out a terrifying roar.

“What happened to Qing Nightmare?”

Bei Gong Yu couldn’t help but frown. In the past, as long as he called out the word “Cyan Nightmare”, Cyan Nightmare would come over. But why was it so abnormal tonight?

He looked towards the north and saw that the stars and moon were bright. There was nothing strange about it. He shouted again before the exotic beast walked over.

Bei Gong Yu sat on his mount and said to the three Brocade Childe behind him, “You guys go back. I’ll come out tomorrow.”

After hearing this, the three Brocade Childe immediately smiled and nodded in agreement. The three of them were naturally the children of wealthy families in the Yun State Clan. However, if they were to be said to be the nobles of Yun State, then Bei Gongyu was the Crown Prince of Yun State.

“Qingnian, let’s go!”

Bei Gong Yu let out a low shout and sat down on the Green Flame Beast. He immediately soared into the air, stepping on the green flames and heading towards the Bei Gong Mansion. He was shocked to the point that the Immortal Spiritual Beasts on the nearby streets were all crawling on the ground, not daring to move a single bit.

When they returned to the Bei Gong Manor, they saw that the doors to the palace had already opened and the disciples outside had already dispersed. Bei Gong Yu walked straight up to the palace. When the three elders saw him return, Bei Gong Zhengyang, who was sitting at the head of the palace, nodded slightly, “Yu’er, you’re back.”

Bei Gong Yu glanced at the three of them in a bad mood. “I said, are you three finished? Didn’t you agree that as long as you don’t leave Yun State for the next three days, you don’t care what I do?”

At the end of his sentence, he shook his head and sighed. He walked to the hall, picked up the teapot and filled the cup with tea. Gulu gulu drank it like he was venting.

When the Third Elder saw that he was still venting his anger, he shook his head and smiled. “Yu’er, I asked you to come back tonight because …”

“I see. Are you guys bored?”

Bei Gongyu was impatient and placed the teacup and teapot heavily on the table, “Isn’t it Wushuang Hui?” Shouldn’t I cultivate? I don’t want to embarrass the clan again, but the Xiao Clan sent Xiao Meng’er to Immortal Monarch Donghua. How can I compare to him when he has dual cultivation in both dao and martial arts? “Then why don’t you ask the family to think of a way to send me to the Immortal Joan Sect later?”

“Impudent!”

Above the hall, Bei Gong Zhengyang suddenly shouted loudly. In a short while, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and his expression became extremely frightening.

The two elders below hurriedly winked at Bei Gong Yu, signaling him not to contradict him anymore. Bei Gong Yu sat down on the chair and remained silent.

After a while, Third Elder opened his mouth and said, “Big Brother didn’t ask you to come back tonight because you were in a hurry to return to the secret realm to cultivate, but because someone is going to pass by us in Yun State tomorrow …”

“You guys are really interesting …”

Bei Gongyu sneered, “You grounded me again because someone is going to pass through Yun State? Who wants Yun State? What does it have to do with me? Do I know him? Do you need me to go out of the city to meet him?”

Third Elder smiled bitterly and said, “Isn’t that so? Big Brother is afraid that you will cause trouble tomorrow, so …”

“Alright, alright. I know. I’ll be in the manor tomorrow. I’m not going anywhere! I’m so annoying … I’m going back to cultivate.”

Bei Gong Yu waved his sleeves and got up to go outside.

The hall was silent. Bei Gong Zhengyang’s face was still as cold as frost. After a long time, he sighed, “Yu’er, he’s really too willful. He’s probably something I’ve been accustomed to all these years. If he’s … Sigh!”

Later on, he wanted to say that if Bei Gongyu was half as sensible as Xiao Meng’er, he wouldn’t have to worry about it like this. However, he knew very well in his heart how talented Xiao Meng’er was. In the past thousand years, only Xiao Zhufeng was able to surpass him in the entire Yu Ding.

Right now, no matter how much Bei Gong Yu cultivated, it was still not enough. Even though he was no longer willing to admit it, the current reality was the same.

The night outside was getting darker and darker, as if he had heard Bei Gong Zhengyang sigh softly again.

…

The next morning, the entire city of Yun State was exceptionally quiet. The clear sky was cloudless yesterday, but this morning, it was already cloudy, as if a storm was about to arrive.

In the morning, some people from various powers had already entered the city. As for how many people were left outside the city, it was hard to estimate for a moment.

Bei Gong Zhengyang and the others naturally stayed awake all night. They waited for Xiao Chen to arrive. It was probably at dawn that a terrifying roar suddenly came from outside Bei City. It instantly resounded through the clouds and shook the windows of the entire city.

The person who was still in the dream woke up in an instant. He quickly rushed outside and looked up. Black clouds surged endlessly in the direction outside the northern city. Beneath the black clouds was a terrifying giant flood dragon that was not far from the city. On the giant flood dragon’s body, there were faintly four figures standing.

This time, many people were shocked. Who had come?

Some of the people who had received the news before also revealed shocked expressions as they stared blankly at the northern gate. Under the black clouds, was the person on the strange flood dragon the Lord of Lustless Heaven from the rumors?
