Chapter 433: Chapter 187: Return of the Clouds (Part 1)

With the activation of the signature skill "Eye of the Sky" by the dark guard, his perspective gradually ascended and flew into the clouds.

Without needing to discern the direction, a tiny white eyeball hurried forward in the clouds, arriving above Soaring Cloud City, which was ablaze with fire.

To avoid detection by powerful beings, the dark guard deliberately flew at extreme altitudes, fearing being discovered and shot down.

Finding a thick patch of cloud mist, the dark guard hid within it, looking down below.

By this time, Soaring Cloud City, after being purged by the sky, had completely turned into ruins. The members of the Kairo Ming faction had retreated outside the city, resisting the furious assault of the Xiao Ke family.

Meanwhile, Mr. Ji of the Pasa family was entering the central military tent behind the Xiao Ke family lines.

"Hehe, may I know what brings Mr. Ji here?" inside the tent, Wei Sheng, the first general of the Xiao Ke family, greeted him with a smile.

"General Wei is too kind," Mr. Ji bowed and said, "Pasa family’s butler Ji Tong, greets General Wei Sheng."

Wei Sheng nodded, "Mr. Ji, please rise. You serve as the chief butler of the Pasa family, and by rights, we are of the same generation; you need not show such great courtesy."

"General Wei deserves a bow for his willingness to confront the Kairo family for Soaring Cloud City."

"Hahaha, Mr. Ji’s words are too kind, please, let’s sit and discuss in detail," Wei Sheng, who was well aware of Ji Tong’s intentions and Ji Tong knew Wei Sheng’s thoughts as well, but formalities still had to be observed.

Once seated, Wei Sheng asked with a smile, "Mr. Ji, with your gracious visit, may I know what you wish to discuss?"

"Mr. Ji won’t beat around the bush with General Wei. This time Soaring Cloud City has faced a great disaster, and the head of the family has determined that the Kairo family has marauding ambitions, attempting a forceful takeover to infiltrate the eastern part of the Dragon Pool. Therefore, our head hopes to ally with the Xiao Ke family to thwart the Kairo family’s schemes."

Wei Sheng also nodded in agreement, "Before leaving, our head said the same. This catastrophe in Soaring Cloud City occurred abruptly, and there were no signs of the city’s formation being activated. It must be that Kairo’s hidden division had already infiltrated and taken control of the formation core. They just haven’t deciphered the formation yet. Of course, this is also our chance. Once the formation starts, it will be difficult to penetrate Soaring Cloud City."

From Wei Sheng’s answer, Ji Tong knew the other’s stance and immediately said, "There’s no time to delay. I’ll send a message back to our head right away, letting the Pasa family’s army assist you in breaking the Kairo Ming faction."

"One moment," Wei Sheng suddenly stopped Ji Tong, who was about to contact Bo Heng.

Ji Tong was startled, "May I know if General Wei has any other concerns?"

"What compensation does your Pasa family require?" Wei Sheng asked gravely, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Opposing the Ming division’s large army was no joke, and the casualties would certainly not be minor.

"General Wei’s remarks are misplaced," Ji Tong smiled, "If the Pasa family were only concerned with immediate gains and losses, allowing the Kairo family to seize Soaring Cloud City, once they establish a foothold in the east, the subsequent losses for the Pasa family won’t just concern a few soldiers. It’s very likely that our entire family would be swallowed up. We clearly understand what’s more or less significant. By helping the Xiao Ke family, our Pasa family seeks no gain, and in the conquest of Soaring Cloud City, we will not partake. As long as it doesn’t belong to the Kairo family, that’s enough."

Wei Sheng stared into Ji Tong’s eyes for a long time before withdrawing, "Then I thank Mr. Ji, the Pasa family truly understands the greater good. I, Wei Sheng, respect that!"

After the negotiation concluded, not more than a few minutes later, the Pasa army, which had been confronting the Ming faction in Absolute Peace Valley for a long time, finally sounded the trumpet to attack. Instantly, battle cries surged and, through the ravine, continuously receded.

Meanwhile, inside Soaring Cloud City, an officer received the news and hurriedly returned to Chángkōng’s side, "Sir, it’s bad news. The Pasa family has also launched an attack on us!"

Chángkōng nodded but was not surprised. The Pasa family was no fool; they certainly wouldn’t just watch idly.

"How long until reinforcements arrive?" Chángkōng stared at the mage in front of him who was deciphering Soaring Cloud City’s core formation and asked his aide.

"According to the message from the family, it will take half an hour," the aide’s voice trembled. The Kairo family’s dominance in the northwest, where the majority of the army was dispersed, meant that Chángkōng had only brought a quarter of the Ming division, and more Ming division soldiers were constantly being transported through the family’s formation, converging. Under the most ideal conditions, reaching Soaring Cloud City within half an hour was expected; if any mishap occurred, they might not arrive even within two hours.

"First, send people to guard the transmission passage, don’t let the other two families interfere." Once the passage was destroyed, Chángkōng’s team would become an isolated force, and the Pasa and Xiao Ke families wouldn’t let him leave easily.

Now, everything hinged on the Soaring Cloud formation. Chángkōng asked gravely, "How much longer to break this formation?"

A mage wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Reporting to Lord Chángkōng, it will take another hour."

"That’s too long, you must solve it within twenty minutes!" Chángkōng demanded sternly.

"This is impossible,"

The Mage was interrupted before he could finish speaking, as Chang Kong patted his shoulder and said, "If we can’t break it, we’re all going to die!"

The Mage swallowed and nodded, "I will do my best!"

"Good, continue with your task." Chang Kong, satisfied, withdrew his gaze and then picked up his long spear to walk outside, "Brothers, who wants to join me in confronting the Xiao Ke family’s foremost general?!"

Thousands of soldiers outside drew their weapons and responded, "I am willing to go with the general!"

When Chang Kong led his subordinates to the battlefield outside the city, the Ming troops had already been fighting the Xiao Ke family for over an hour, bloodying the ground with a sea of corpses.

The Mages’ Magic Power was already exhausted, leaving only close combat warriors in a deadly melee. The Ming troops fought bravely; although they were far outnumbered by the Xiao Ke family, they still fought to the death, defending their line with their lives.

And the Xiao Ke family had gone berserk. Although Soaring Cloud City was under the Ma Feng family, it housed many Xiao Ke family members. This time, the fire in Soaring Cloud City was a slap to the Xiao Ke family, waking up the head of the Xiao Ke family. Planning to follow the Kairo family was foolish—just look if they care about you!

Enraged, the head of the Xiao Ke family issued a death command, to take back Soaring Cloud City at all costs.

Chang Kong charged into the battlefield, his long spear twinkling with a sharp light, killing all the Xiao Ke soldiers who approached him.

Wei Sheng, upon receiving the news, rushed out of the camp, stood proudly above the army, and shouted at Chang Kong, "Chang Kong, you rely on your Third Transition strength to strut around the battlefield, have the guts to face me in a one-on-one duel!"

Chang Kong kicked the enemies beside him away and sneered, "As you wish."

No sooner had he spoken than he threw his long spear like a javelin at Wei Sheng.

Wei Sheng drew his war blade and fiercely chopped at the incoming spear.

Chang Kong, putting force into his feet, leaped into the air to catch his weapon as it rolled back, and then clashed closely with Wei Sheng.

Both were the foremost generals of their respective families, and their strengths were comparable. Neither gained an advantage from the exchange.

Chang Kong’s purpose was to buy time, so he did not intend to end the fight, but instead engaged Wei Sheng at close range, not giving him the opportunity to unleash any powerful Skills.

Wei Sheng saw Chang Kong’s intention as well, but regretfully acknowledged that Chang Kong was not inferior to him.

"Are you waiting for your reinforcements or for the Formation to be broken?" Wei Sheng sneered with a laugh.

"Both." Chang Kong, his thoughts seen through, no longer intended to hide.

"Well, you miscalculated. I’ve already sent people inside the city, and they should now be starting to seize control of the Formation. Besides, the teleport portal your Kairo family secretly built outside Soaring Cloud City has also been found, your reinforcements won’t arrive."

"Oh." Even though Chang Kong’s heart was racing, he couldn’t lose face and only replied indifferently.

Wei Sheng snickered, "I’ll see how long you can keep this up."

Just then, off in the distance, a surge burst forth, powerful as the fierce sun.

Chang Kong finally couldn’t keep his composure any longer, his long spear emitting a dragon’s roar.

Wei Sheng backed off, not wanting to entangle with the opponent any further. After all, the incoming attack was indiscriminate and devastating, and he did not wish to bear the brunt of it.

Chang Kong, knowing he couldn’t avoid it, manipulated his long spear, summoning nine silver-white dragons that twined together, forming a barrier in front of him.

The scorching force, resembling the fierceness of the sun, was actually a series of linked arrows, nine in total, each infused with terrifying Magic Power.

Feeling the overwhelming heat, Chang Kong roared at the peak of his Magic Power, "Lei Zhe!"

Before he could finish, Chang Kong’s figure was engulfed by the exploding heat, like a sun rising on the battlefield.
