The two of them held their hearts and trembled uncontrollably.
Tears were on the verge of streaming down their faces.
After painstakingly recovering the lost fortune caused by the Yellow Sky Behemoth, they were now back to square one because of a person named Wu Tian.
For a moment, both of them were filled with boundless anger.
"Report!"
Just then, a subordinate hurriedly came to report.
"What's the matter?" demanded the enraged Cloud Top King.
"Wu Tian, the Wu Tian Empire, has launched an attack on our Cloud Top Empire. They have already captured three cities on our border!" the subordinate hastily reported.
"What?!"
Upon hearing this news, the Cloud Top King's anger reached its peak, and his entire body burned with fury.He never expected that this insignificant Wu Tian not only killed the envoy he had sent, but also dared to openly declare war on him, the Cloud Top King.
"Wu Tian, you audacious fool! A mere king of a small empire dares to act so insolently. I will make you pay with your life!"
The Cloud Top King clenched his fist, and a hoarse voice escaped his throat.
"Let me go!"
Beside him, the Destroyer of the World's voice filled with anger as well.
Originally, it was a done deal to subdue the king of an affiliated nation. But now, with this turn of events, he couldn't remain idle.
"Yes, this man must die!"
"Although we can no longer win him over to increase the fortune of the Qi Yun Pillar, killing him will at least compensate for the fortune we lost!"
The Cloud Top King's resolute voice echoed, as he already considered Wu Tian a dead man.
The Destroyer of the World nodded.
Then, he swiftly disappeared, his red robe transforming into a streak of red light.
...
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host! Due to the outstanding achievements of the host as an outer disciple, you have been rewarded with two points of fortune."
"Ding!"
"The fortune has critically struck, doubling the reward to four points of fortune."
"The current total fortune of the host is six points."
"Oh?"
Yi Feng, who was dozing off, heard the voice in his mind and suddenly sat up in surprise.
"Another four points of fortune! Wonderful!"
"Although it is still far from enough to exchange for a divine beast in the system's store, it's still a gradual accumulation!"
"But who was the outer disciple again?"
"Oh."
"It seems to be Xiao Ji Er?"
Yi Feng scratched his head in a daze, and then suddenly realized who it was.
"But this Xiao Ji Er, a bandit turned pimp, what kind of remarkable achievement could he have accomplished..."
"He didn't rob some village, did he?"
Yi Feng's mouth twitched involuntarily.
But there was nothing he could do.
After all, that guy had grown up now, and Yi Feng, as his master, couldn't control him anymore.
Stretching and yawning, he prepared to go outside to find something to eat and try his luck, hoping to come across an ordinary disciple.
However...
When he stepped onto the street, he noticed that things had changed drastically.
Banners hung everywhere on the street.
Recruiting soldiers, collecting provisions, and occasionally, terrifying Martial Spirit experts flew overhead.
The atmosphere was tense.
"What's going on?"
Yi Feng was utterly bewildered.
After inquiring around, he discovered that the country he was in had engaged in a conflict with other nations.
And, unfortunately, it was against a superpower.
"Damn it!"
"The ruler of this country must have a hole in his head! It's a tiny nation, daring to attack such a mighty overlord. Do they have a death wish?"
Saying that, Yi Feng didn't even bother to finish his meal. He rushed back to his room and shouted, "Lu Benwei, pack your things and let's get out of here."
After hastily packing their belongings, Yi Feng and Lu Benwei quickly made their escape, leaving Yuan Jing behind.
As Yuan Jing watched the departing figures of Yi Feng and the others, tears welled up in her eyes.
Has he lived here for so long without any feelings at all?
When leaving, he didn't even turn his head or say a word?
"Ah, my daughter, let it go. You are not meant for each other."
At that moment, Yuan Langtian walked out from behind and comforted her softly, "We are not even worthy of reaching such heights. Forget about him..."
"Father, I understand."
Yuan Jing wiped away her tears with a forced smile and nodded in feigned strength.
But her eyes were always fixed on the direction Yi Feng and the others had left.
Until...
They disappeared from sight.
...
"Hahaha..."
"We've conquered another city!"
On the city wall, Wu Tian, clad in battle armor, looked at the newly captured city and burst into hearty laughter.
"Your Majesty."
At that moment, a courtier approached.
Before he could finish speaking, Wu Tian interrupted him, "Don't call me Your Majesty. I am no longer a ruler. If you must address me, wait until I've conquered the Cloud Top Empire!" Wu Tian declared boldly.
"Yes, my lord!"
The courtier bowed his head and spoke with concern, "Are we being too conspicuous this time? Although we have captured several cities of the Cloud Top Empire, it was because they were caught off guard. Now that we have reached this relentless point, we have no way out. Shouldn't we leave ourselves an escape route?"
"Hmph!"
"Why need an escape route?"
"Just by looking at your limited vision."
"Besides, what do I have to fear? My master and my eldest brother are supporting me from behind." Wu Tian spoke fearlessly.
Upon hearing this, the courtier was momentarily stunned.
Then the worry on his face quickly dissipated.
Indeed.
That gentleman and those great immortals were seated behind them. What else was there to worry about?
"Report!"
Just then, a scout hurriedly arrived.
"Speak."
Wu Tian waved his hand.
"Reporting, my lord. According to the spy we planted in the Cloud Top Empire, they have set their sights on you. And there is a super expert called the Destroyer of the World coming to take your life. Please make a decision, my lord."
"Furthermore, this is the information about the Destroyer of the World sent by the spy!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian quickly took the information about the Destroyer of the World.
"Strength unknown, on par with the Cloud Top King..."
Wu Tian muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming.
Just these two pieces of information.
It proved that the enemy was beyond his capabilities.
The Cloud Top Empire's actions were indeed swift!
However, he was not overly worried. On the contrary, his face was still full of confidence. He tore up the information about the Destroyer of the World directly.
Then he smirked.
Murmuring to himself.
"It seems I have to ask my master or my eldest brother to make a move!"
