The chaos... The entire Ice City was in complete turmoil.
Everyone in Ice City was jolted awake by the earth-shattering explosion.
No matter how deep your sleep was, this explosion was guaranteed to wake you up.
Not only did it wake you up, but it also came with a complimentary ringing in your ears.
At this moment, even the cultivators in Ice City felt a ringing in their ears because the explosion was truly terrifying.
Even if a Martial Emperor self-destructed, it couldn't possibly have such immense power!
So what kind of power was this?
Everyone was speculating...
There are always those with guts in this world, and faced with such a terrifying explosion, some people immediately rushed to the Silver Star Mountain Range to investigate.
The result of their investigation... there was nothing to find, no Silver Star Mountain Range, just a huge crater...This scene left everyone dumbfounded.
The Silver Star Mountain Range disappeared?
The Silver Star Mountain Range was obliterated in an instant by the explosion, leaving only the current crater?
What kind of power is this... Could it be that Martial God Gu Mingchao came here to self-destruct for fun?
Ma Liang was so excited that he dragged Senior Brother Xinghe, riding on the Ghost Emperor, all the way to the Silver Star Mountain Range.
The Silver Star Mountain Range had vanished, replaced by countless craters. There would never be a Silver Star Mountain Range here again; perhaps a Silver Star Lake might form as a memorial...
Riding on the Ghost Emperor, Ma Liang looked at Senior Brother Xinghe with admiration.
Previously, when Senior Brother Xinghe said he wanted to give the Cloud Soar Sect a huge surprise, Ma Liang didn't understand. Now he truly understood... this surprise... the Cloud Soar Sect was overwhelmed by it!
And at this moment, Ma Liang finally understood why Senior Brother Xinghe had done so much before.
First, he asked Xie Songlin if they still wanted the Silver Star Mountain Range to avoid trouble.
After all, the Silver Star Mountain Range was previously jointly owned by the Grand Sky Sect and the Cloud Soar Sect.
If Senior Brother Xinghe really blew up the Silver Star Mountain Range, the Cloud Soar Sect could completely claim that the Grand Sky Sect unjustly destroyed their Silver Star Mountain Range, which would be a bit tricky for the Grand Sky Sect to handle.
But Senior Brother Xinghe personally asked them once, then had Ma Liang ask them again, and even recorded it with a memory crystal.
It was your Cloud Soar Sect's Law Enforcement Elder Xie Songlin who explicitly stated that you didn't want the Silver Star Mountain Range...
So if you don't want it, then it's ours, right?
Our Grand Sky Sect is big and wealthy; if we destroy some of our own resources, what's the problem?
Our Grand Sky Sect just likes to blow up our own resources, and my Senior Brother Xinghe just likes to deplete the sect. Tell me, what's wrong with that?
And later, when Senior Brother Xinghe had the announcement made, it was actually giving the Cloud Soar Sect one last chance.
If the Cloud Soar Sect had retreated out of fear, then undoubtedly, the Cloud Soar Sect would have only lost a mine at most.
But Ma Liang also sent people to inquire, and there was no news of anyone withdrawing from Snow City in the past few days.
So it means that the Cloud Soar Sect didn't take Senior Brother Xinghe's words seriously at all.
Then sorry... we made the announcement... after the announcement, anything that existed in the Silver Star Mountain Range, we assumed it was all ghosts, wouldn't you say that's fair?
Your Cloud Soar Sect can't shamelessly claim that your people were blown up, right?
If the Cloud Soar Sect really said that, Ma Liang could immediately retort to their face.
What? Didn't you say you didn't want the Silver Star Mountain Range? Why were your people inside?
What? Just taking a look? We made an announcement, afraid of accidental injuries, and you still went in, wasn't that courting death?
You wanted to die, is that our Grand Sky Sect's fault?
At this moment, Ma Liang was in utmost admiration of Senior Brother Xinghe!
Look at yourself, then look at Senior Brother Xinghe...
When I went to the Great Moon Nation, I was just a hothead who only knew how to kill... If it weren't for Senior Brother Xinghe arriving in time, the grass on my grave would probably be two meters high by now.
But this time, when Senior Brother Xinghe took action, he had plans and strategies, even arranging everything clearly for the opponent.
Even if you were blown up by our Dark Moon Clan, you could only suffer in silence!
Chu Xinghe, the master of flawless plans!
Senior Brother Xinghe truly is extraordinary!
Since the founding of the Cloud Soar Sect, they probably never suffered such a huge loss...
No, I have to quickly go see Xie Songlin's expression...
Ma Liang, riding on the Ghost Emperor with Senior Brother Xinghe, made his way through the now-cratered Silver Star Mountain Range to Snow City.
What? Why not bring An Lan... because An Lan went to play the "Universal Celebration" game.
At this moment, Snow City was in even worse shape than Ice City... Goodness, from a distance, many houses in Snow City had collapsed, and countless people stood there, just like those in Ice City, staring in the direction of the Silver Star Mountain Range, completely stunned.
Ma Liang didn't care about that; he was constantly searching for Xie Songlin...
But no matter how much he searched, he couldn't find Xie Songlin. Just when Ma Liang was puzzled as to why Xie Songlin hadn't appeared in such a big event, he noticed many disciples of the Cloud Soar Sect running desperately towards the Silver Star Mountain Range, shouting as they ran...
"Hurry! Elder Xie and Elder Liu are inside..."
What?
Hearing this, Chu Xinghe and Ma Liang couldn't help but laugh...
An unexpected bonus?
Originally, Chu Xinghe intended to wipe out all the rats of the Cloud Soar Sect in the Silver Star Mountain Range.
But who would have thought Xie Songlin went in too...
Quickly, let's have a moment of silence for Xie Songlin... Can't laugh... absolutely can't laugh... must hold it in... it's impolite to laugh during a moment of silence...
And that Elder Liu was probably the one hiding in the Silver Star Mountain Range controlling the evil energy puppets... Can't laugh... this Elder Liu was also quite noble... let's have a moment of silence for him too... can't laugh at this either...
Chu Xinghe struggled to hold back his laughter, but looking at Ma Liang... this guy was already laughing out loud.
Ma Liang, oh Ma Liang, be mindful... look at the disciples of the Cloud Soar Sect below, each with a look of grief, and you're laughing here, consider their feelings, will you?
Let's laugh when we get back... if not, let's use the Grand Sky Mirror to livestream our laughter, okay!
Regarding Senior Brother Xinghe's suggestion to livestream the laughter later, Ma Liang agreed and said that once they got back, he would immediately contact Lu Chengqing to bring the Grand Sky Mirror over. Senior Brother Xinghe, if you care about your reputation, don't appear on it; I, Ma Liang, don't care, I'll livestream the laughter!
But just as Ma Liang was contemplating how to express his joy through a livestream, a beam of white light descended from the sky.
Accompanied by the white light of the teleportation array, a group of people in Cloud Soar Sect elder robes emerged, and leading them was none other than the Cloud Soar Sect Master, Xing Yushen.
Xing Yushen was exuding the aura of a Half-Step Martial God?
Seeing this, Chu Xinghe couldn't help but lament the misfortune!
Although the Cloud Soar Sect hadn't been able to perform on stage at the time, perhaps due to other sects' influence, while most of the Holy Souls of the Cloud Soar Sect hadn't been awakened, a small portion had appeared.
So Xing Yushen had also received part of the inheritance, and this guy Xing Yushen had some incredible luck, managing to step into the realm of a Half-Step Martial God with the revival of spiritual energy?
And just as Chu Xinghe was lamenting Xing Yushen's luck, Xing Yushen also saw Ma Liang and Chu Xinghe riding on the Ghost Emperor.
This is what they mean by enemies meeting with extreme hostility.
The moment Xing Yushen saw Chu Xinghe, his entire being radiated a chilling killing intent.
Today was supposed to be the day Xing Yushen emerged as a Half-Step Martial God, a day of universal celebration for the Cloud Soar Sect!
But just as Xing Yushen raised his glass to toast the ancestors and the future of the Cloud Soar Sect, the soul lamps of two elders extinguished on the spot.
And one of those elders was Xie Songlin.
Xing Yushen was dumbfounded; he couldn't comprehend who could have possibly killed Xie Songlin and Elder Liu in an instant.
Xie Songlin was also a peak Martial Emperor, wasn't he? Could it have been Gu Mingchao?
But that's impossible, right? What status does Gu Mingchao have? Would he do such a thing?
But regardless of the reason, Xing Yushen immediately activated the teleportation array, bringing all the elders of the Cloud Soar Sect with him.
As a Half-Step Martial God, whoever killed the elders of the Cloud Soar Sect must pay with blood!
As Xing Yushen landed, he saw the Silver Star Mountain Range leveled in the distance.
Honestly, Xing Yushen was stunned...
What kind of power is this?
Even Martial God Gu Mingchao doesn't have the ability to flatten the entire Silver Star Mountain Range in such a short time, right?
But just as Xing Yushen was bewildered, he saw Chu Xinghe and Ma Liang struggling to hold back their laughter.
In an instant, Xing Yushen understood... if there was any power in this world that could flatten the Silver Star Mountain Range in an instant, there was only one... the Dark Moon Clan!
On this day of universal celebration for the Cloud Soar Sect, the Dark Moon Clan had delivered a grand gift without warning!
Xing Yushen's eyes turned red on the spot!
Chu Xinghe! How dare you kill the elders of my Cloud Soar Sect!
Almost instantly, Xing Yushen shattered the void and appeared beside Chu Xinghe and Ma Liang.
Chu Xinghe looked at the sudden appearance of Xing Yushen, knowing there was no time to explain... so he kicked Ma Liang, who was about to make a move, sending him flying.
Ma Liang was strong, with the Ghost Emperor and the Wan Ghosts Array, he was formidable even among current Martial Emperors, but Xing Yushen was a Half-Step Martial God.
If Ma Liang made a move, he would surely die today!
But Chu Xinghe knew that unless Xing Yushen was truly determined to go to war with the Grand Sky Sect, he wouldn't dare kill him, so Chu Xinghe immediately kicked Ma Liang away, blocking Xing Yushen.
And Chu Xinghe's gamble paid off!
Although Xing Yushen was furious, he wasn't foolish. Kill Chu Xinghe?
If Xing Yushen really killed Chu Xinghe today, Gu Mingchao would surely descend upon the Cloud Soar Sect, and nothing anyone said would matter. Gu Mingchao wouldn't stop until the Cloud Soar Sect was wiped out.
So Chu Xinghe couldn't be killed...
But the enraged Xing Yushen, though he didn't dare kill Chu Xinghe, couldn't let him go either. He had to make Chu Xinghe suffer.
"Chu Xinghe! How dare you kill the elders of my Cloud Soar Sect! Today, I will capture you and take you to the Grand Sky Sect. Even if that old bastard Gu Mingchao is a Martial God, he must give my Cloud Soar Sect an explanation!"
Xing Yushen extended his hand, and the pressure of a Half-Step Martial God left Chu Xinghe with no power to resist, watching helplessly as the hand got closer.
But just as Xing Yushen's hand was about to grab Chu Xinghe, the void in front of Chu Xinghe shattered like a mirror by an invisible force, and from the shattered void, a hand appeared out of thin air.
The moment this hand appeared, it was as if time stood still...
