"Is the war going to start soon?" Riding on the horse, the voices entered his ears, and after a moment of silence, Ling Yun said softly.

"Sooner or later, this day will come. It's just a matter of time. Qing Yun and Northern Han are the shame of my Soaring Cloud Sect. I'll only be able to wash away the shame of the past if I subdue them." Qin Feng clenched his fist tightly as he gritted his teeth.

"Mn," Ling Yun nodded slightly. As a direct descendant of the imperial family, he was well aware of all of this.

Back in the day, when the Soaring Cloud Empire was in its prime, the empire was vast, and both the Qing Yun and Northern Han were under its control.

However, after the Sky Cloud Empire's Martial Saints had been assassinated, they had all died in the hands of the demons.

Qing Yun and the Northern Han's leader had rebelled and left the Soaring Cloud Empire's rule. This matter was viewed as a humiliation by the Soaring Cloud Imperial Family and had to be wiped out.

"Just which sacred land is supporting the two empires from behind?" Ling Yun muttered to himself. This was trouble.

Qin Feng snorted softly as he coldly asked, "Who else could it be other than Yuan Gate?"

"Yuan Gate!" Ling Yun softly repeated the name of this Sacred Ground, his tone calm, his expression as calm as still water, but his eyes flashed with a cold light.

The Yuan Gate was the holy land that stood side by side with the Ling Xiao Empire in its heyday. It was overseen by a middle stage Martial Saint like the Lin Xiao Empire. Back then, the two great factions were the strongest existences in the Yuan Territory.

At that time, this vast and boundless land was not called the Yuan Territory. Instead, it was called the Ling Yuan Empire, Ling Xiao Empire, Yuan Gate, and Yuan Gate.

The same mountain did not allow for two tigers. This was a common rule since ancient times, and it was the same here as well. The two great powers fought with each other, and the conflict between them was deep.

Ever since the fall of the Soaring Cloud Empire, the Yuan Gate had continuously fallen. They had invaded the territory of the Soaring Cloud Empire, secretly killed the young prodigies of the Soaring Cloud Empire, and helped their forces to deal with the Soaring Cloud Empire …

Back then, the reason why Qing Yun and Northern Han rebelled and had the guts to rebel was because the Yuan Gate had intervened.

"If the Ling Xiao Empire wishes to repeat the glory of the past, it cannot avoid encountering Yuan Gate." Ling Yun said softly. His eyes were sharp and cold.

"Let's go!" Flinging the reins, the Wind Chaser Horse sped up its pace.

It was already evening, and the sun was setting in the west, casting its last rays of light. Qin Feng had not returned to the Royal Mansion for many days, so he had to return and report.

It was not early, and Ling Yun did not delay either as he headed straight for the War King's Manor.

What he didn't know was that ever since he stepped into the Cloudsoaring sect, he'd been targeted by people. Those who had been following him in the dark all this while, protecting him in the dark, had yet to discover him.

At a corner, the space rippled and distorted like a mirror. Black smoke rose and condensed into a solid black mist, finally turning into the figure of a short old woman.

She was extremely old, and her eyes were murky. However, she stared coldly at Ling Yun's back as he disappeared, and let out a strange and inhumane laugh, before her figure disappeared.

He could already see the gate of the Battle King's Mansion. He could see the lights from inside, and he could see the lions guarding the gate. But at this time, Ling Yun was alarmed, and all the hairs on his body stood up.

Years of intuition told him that his life was in danger.

Lingyun did not gallop his horse and rushed into the Battle King's Mansion, because he knew that he would not be able to escape the danger of life and death in an instant. The speed of the Wind Chasing Horses was simply unavoidable.

Without even thinking about it, his body tilted, as if he had fallen from Chasing Wind Horse …
