War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“The Leaders of the Phantom Fox Clan, the Zhang Clan, and the Yuan Clan, come out!” Duan Ling Tian said as he stared at the estate in front of him. His voice contained his powerful Celestial Origin Energy so his voice was instantly transmitted throughout the Phantom Fox Clan’s estate.

Needless to say, everyone in the Phantom Fox Clan was stunned upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. It caused a commotion in the earlier peaceful estate. Who was the person out there? He even dared to summon the two clan leaders?

“Did some powerhouse come to visit our clan leaders?”

“I don’t think so. He doesn’t sound like a guest. I wonder who it could be?”

…

Meanwhile, in a palace located on a stone platform halfway up a mountain that was part of the Phantom Fox Clan’s Zhang Clan’s territory.

A middle-aged man who was sipping tea in a courtyard frowned upon hearing the commotion. He was none other than Zhang Han Tian, the Clan Leader of the Zhang Clan in the Phantom Fox Clan. He was also the strongest person in the Zhang Clan at the moment. Although he was not comparable to a titled Celestial Emperor, he was still a Celestial Emperor.

Zhang Han Tian who was dressed in a light grey robe continued drinking tea as he sent a message out expressionlessly. “Grand elder, go and have a look outside. See who is so bold to make a commotion in front of our Phantom Fox Clan’s estate.”

As one of the Clan Leaders of the Phantom Fox Clan, a grade-one force in the Seven Upper Provinces’ Heavenly Territory in the Spirit Overarching Heaven, how could Zhang Han Tian make an appearance just because he was told to do so?

“Understood, Clan Leader.” Zhang Ping Ye, the Grand Elder of the Zhang Clan was also the person who sent Zhang Jin Yi to the Southern Heaven Territory to verify if Huan’er was truly a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox.

As the grand elder made his way out, he sent a few messages to a few other people as well. By the time he reached the entrance of the estate, four more men had joined him.

As soon as Zhang Ping Ye arrived, he heard someone calling out to him.

“Elder Ping Ye.”

Zhang Ping He looked up and saw another four men coming toward him from various directions in the Phantom Fox Clan’s estate.

“Elder Yuan Yue,” Zhang Ping Ye greeted the person leading the other three men.

The person in the lead was the Yuan Clan’s Grand Elder while the three people standing behind him were elders in the Yuan Clan.

Yuan Yue did not beat around the bush and asked, “Elder Ping Ye, who do you think dares to make a commotion in front of our estate? Moreover, he has the audacity to summon our two clan leaders!”

“I don’t know… Nonetheless, since he dares to act so boldly, he must be somewhat confident,” Zhang Ping Ye said.

Usually, the Zhang Clan and Yuan Clan did not interfere with each other’s affairs much. They only presented themselves as a united front in public. In other words, there was also internal strife in the Phantom Fox Clan between the Zhang Clan and the Yuan Clan.

“Let’s go! We’ll see for ourselves,” Yuan Yue said. Then, he led the others from the Yuan Clan with him to the estate’s entrance.

Similarly, Zhang Ping Ye led the other four from the Zhang Clan with him as well to the entrance of the estate.

When the people from the Zhang Clan and the Yuan Clan of the Phantom Fox Clan arrived at the entrance of the Phantom Fox Clan’s estate, they saw four people.

“Two Celestial Emperors!”

As soon as Zhang Ping Ye and Yuan Yue drew close to the four people, they could tell there were two Celestial Emperors among the four people. As for the remaining two people, they could not see through the cultivation base of one of them, therefore, they were not certain if he was a Celestial Emperor or not while they could only sense a peculiar vibe from the remaining person.

“This aura…”

The nine elders from Phantom Fox Clan, including Zhang Ping Ye and Yuan Yue, were instantly attracted to Huan’er’s aura.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian looked at Zhang Ping Ye and Yuan Yue as he asked, “Are you the Clan Leaders of the Zhang Clan and the Yuan Clan?” Since the duo was clearly the leaders of the group, he addressed them first.

Moreover, Zhuge Yun had sent Duan Ling Tian a Voice Transmission, informing him that two people in the lead were Celestial Emperors while the others were only Celestial Lords.

‘This voice…’ Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s voice, Zhang Ping Ye and Yuan Yue immediately confirmed he was the person who had demanded the clan leaders to show themselves.

Zhang Ping Ye took the initiative to speak first. He looked at Duan Ling Tian intently and said, “I’m the Grand Elder of the Zhang Clan, Zhang Ping Ye. Why are you looking for the clan leader?”

Following that, Yuan Yue chimed in, “I’m Yuan Ye, the Grand Elder of the Yuan Clan. Not everyone is worthy of meeting our clan leaders. Even if you want to meet our clan leaders, you’d at least have to announce your identity first. At that time, our clan leaders will decide if they want to meet you or not…”

Upon hearing their words, Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes and sneered. “Do you think so highly of your clan leaders?”

At this moment, Zhuge Yun scoffed and stepped forward. She glowed dazzlingly for a brief moment before a sword ray appeared above her. It emitted a terrifying destructive aura as it shot out.

“No!” The expressions of Zhang Ping Ye and Yuan Yue changed drastically when they saw Zhuge Yun’s attack.

Meanwhile, the others could not react in time at all.

Zhang Ping Ye and Yuan Ye felt death breathing down their necks at this moment. They hurriedly mobilized their Celestial Origin Energies and brought their purely defensive Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons out. Apart from that, they brought out their offensive Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons as well to deflect Zhuge Yun’s sword ray with all their might. After that, both of them joined forces; their energies merged into one before it collided with Zhuge Yun’s sword ray.

Zhang Ping Ye’s energy felt scorching out and was red. Clearly, it had been boosted with the law of fire.

On the other hand, Yuan Yue’s energy felt cold and was blue, indicating that his Celestial Origin Energy had been boosted with the law of ice.

Swoosh!

The sword ray shot out with great momentum. It felt as though it was capable of destroying heaven and earth. It easily shattered Zhang Ping Ye and Yuan Yue’s energies when they collided.

After the collision, although the power of the sword ray had depleted somewhat, it suddenly split into two and shot toward Zhang Ping Ye and Yuan Yue respectively.

Boom! Boom!

Two loud explosions rang in the air.

Zhang Ping Ye and Yuan Yue’s purely defensive Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons had managed to block the remaining power of the sword ray. Nonetheless, the price they had to pay was the destruction of their purely defensive Celestial Weapons.

The duo was sent flying back, spitting out mouthfuls of blood. The blood that spurted out their mouths drew an arc in the air, looking dazzling like red roses in full bloom.

“If your respective clan leaders don’t show up in ten breaths, both of you will die here today,” Zhuge Yun said icily in her melodious voice.

Zhang Ping Yue and Yuan Yue were badly shaken by Zhuge Yun’s show of strength. Although they were Celestial Emperors, the woman had easily shattered their defenses and severely injured them with just a wave of her hand even after they had joined forces. They were aware even their clan leaders were not as powerful as this woman. If they still could not tell the people before them were not simple people, they would have lived their lives in vain.

“My lady, I’ll speak to the clan leader now,” Yuan Yue said hurriedly. He knew the woman was capable of killing him in just a blink of an eye if he continued to be stubborn.

Earlier, the woman had only struck casually without using any Celestial Weapon. If she had intended to kill them, they would not even be able to withstand one move from her.

Similarly, Zhang Ping Ye hurriedly sent a message to his clan leader as well.

For a moment, it was as silent as a graveyard.

After a while, Duan Ling Tian broke the silence and said to Huan’er with a smile, “Huan’er, when the clan leaders arrive, show them the silhouette of your true form.”

Huan’er’s true form was that of a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox. Duan Ling Tian planned to show the clan leaders her true form when they arrived. He wanted to see if they would still dare to act against her.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Just about five breaths had passed when the sound of wind whistling rang in the air. In just an instant, a middle-aged man dressed in grey robes and an old man with white eyebrows who was dressed in green robes appeared.

“Greetings from the Phantom Fox Clan’s Zhang Clan in the Heavenly Territory!”

“Greetings from the Phantom Fox Clan’s Yuan Clan in the Heavenly Territory. I’m Yuan Ming Xun.”

The two clan leaders bowed and greeted Zhuge Yun as soon as they arrived. Since they had received the message from their respective grand elders, they knew the woman was incredibly powerful. In fact, she was probably not any weaker than a titled Celestial Emperor.

“Huan’er,” Duan Ling Tian called out, reminding her of his instructions earlier.

In just a blink of an eye, the gigantic silhouette of a white fox as tall as a mountain appeared behind Huan’er. It possessed nine sacred tails and emitted a cold aura.

“This is…”

Upon seeing this, the clan leaders and the others who were present changed their expressions immediately.

“T-the T-thousand Phantoms Ice Fox?!”

The eleven people from the Phantom Fox Clan stared at the silhouette of the white fox behind Huan’er with jealousy brimming in their eyes.

The Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox was incredibly rare. Only one would appear every 1,000,000 years in the Phantom Fox Clan. They were given priority to become the Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan in whichever Devata Realm they were in.

This time, the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox appeared in the Du Clan that was the enemy of the Yuan Clan. Therefore, the Yuan Clan spared no effort in trying to kill Huan’er, the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox from the Du Clan.

In order to kill Huan’er, the Yuan Clan even made a deal with the Zhang Clan. If the Zhang Clan helped them to kill Huan’er, the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox, the Yuan Clan would pay whatever price that was demanded of them.
