Chapter 106: The Arrival of the Qingyu Guards

In Wangyou City, a storm was brewing.

The people in the city could feel the tension in the air, sensing the impending pressure of the dark clouds looming over the city.

The news of North Chill Palace dispatching the Qingyu Guards had long since spread.

Everyone knew that Wangyou City was about to face another storm.

However, despite this knowledge, no one left the city. In fact, more and more people flooded into Wangyou City, eager to witness the upcoming spectacle.

Could the Qingyu Guards of North Chill Palace capture Ye Chen?

Several days ago, Ye Chen had ruthlessly killed many Emperor Martial Arts experts, including some at the Sixth Level, seemingly effortless.

Perhaps, he truly had the strength to contend with the Qingyu Guards.

Otherwise, why would he dare to challenge North Chill Palace?

"Why is the Qingyu Guards taking so long? When North Guanghan came, it only took them less than a day to arrive. The prestigious Qingyu Guards have not yet shown up after three days."

Many people in Wangyou City began to complain.

The prolonged absence of the Qingyu Guards made the waiting even more unbearable.

"Don't you understand? It's called strategy."

"Strategy?"

Most people were puzzled.

"Wangyou City has gathered the attention of the entire Cangyun Domain these past few days. Many forces have entered the city, including the Silver Family from the Eastern Territory, the Hu Family from the Western Region, and the Pei Family from the Southern Territory."

"So what?"

"North Chill Palace wants all eyes to be on Wangyou City. By allowing other forces to gather here first, they can then come and take Ye Wuji away in the most dominant manner, showing the entire Cangyun Domain that North Chill Palace does not tolerate any challenges."

"The delayed arrival of the Qingyu Guards is giving those forces time to arrive first, so they can witness the might of North Chill Palace."

"I see. The Qingyu Guards want to use Ye Wuji to intimidate the entire Cangyun Domain."

Everyone suddenly understood.

No wonder the Qingyu Guards hadn't arrived yet. They were planning to use Ye Wuji as an example to intimidate others.

If the monkey didn't come, what was the use of killing the chicken?

However, was it really that easy to capture Ye Wuji?

This question lingered in the minds of many.

Could the Qingyu Guards end up backfiring, making Ye Wuji even more famous?

Everything would become clear only when the Qingyu Guards arrived.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, the sound of a qin echoed.

Lin Miaoyin was gently playing the qin in a courtyard, her music profound and captivating.

In the main hall, Dance Qingxue raised her eyebrows. Suddenly, it seemed as if the melodious sound of the qin entered her mind, and she saw a vision of Lin Miaoyin and a hazy scene.

There, amidst the picturesque scenery, Lin Miaoyin sat by a stream, playing the qin, while not far away, Ye Chen wielded his sword with a graceful technique.

What a scene of tranquility, ignoring the troubles of the world, finding peace between the mountains and waters.

This perception made Dance Qingxue suddenly open her eyes, her beautiful eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

"To enter the dream and place oneself in it... so that's the essence of the first level of the Thousand Dreams Realm."

Dance Qingxue murmured.

She finally understood the profound meaning of the first level.

Entering the dreams of others, immersing oneself in their fantasies, rather than allowing enemies to enter one's own dreams.

Otherwise, it would be like creating dreams.

"I didn't expect Lin Miaoyin to be so infatuated with Ye Chen."

Dance Qingxue smiled, but she wasn't particularly surprised.

Although she had not known Ye Chen for long, she understood that he was like the stars in the sky, dazzling and unforgettable.

If it weren't for knowing that her identity couldn't match his, perhaps she would also feel moved by him.

Lin Miaoyin's secret admiration... what was so strange about it?

However, it was unlikely that Lin Miaoyin's admiration would be reciprocated. It was because Ye Chen was too dazzling, to the point of making people feel inferior, even feeling unworthy to express their love.

Shaking her head, Dance Qingxue didn't dwell on it too much. She closed her eyes again, focusing on stabilizing her understanding of the first level of the Thousand Dreams Realm.

But at that moment, a thunderous voice suddenly came from the sky: "The Qingyu Guards of North Chill Palace have come to capture Ye Wuji!"

The booming sound, like a summer thunderstorm, echoed through the sky, shaking Wangyou City to its core.

Wangyou City fell silent for a moment. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky.

At the next moment, the crowd erupted into excitement, rushing towards the City Lord's Mansion.

The Qingyu Guards had finally arrived.

"Here they come."

In a tavern, people from the Silver Family of the Eastern Territory walked out leisurely and headed towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. Leading them was a silver-haired old man.

"Silver Old Monster, I didn't expect you to come too."

As they approached the City Lord's Mansion, a voice suddenly floated over.

"Hu Donglai."

The head of the Silver Family looked towards another old man not far away.

He was none other than the head of the Hu Family from the Western Region.

"You're here too." The head of the Silver Family responded indifferently.

"North Chill Palace wants us to come, how could we not?" Hu Donglai chuckled. He naturally understood the intentions of North Chill Palace.

Since the stage had been set, how could they be absent as spectators?

North Chill Palace wanted them to act as spectators, so they naturally had to give face.

"From what you're saying, do you believe that Ye Wuji is bound to lose?" The head of the Silver Family looked at Hu Donglai with deep meaning.

"In the Cangyun Domain, North Chill Palace is the king. Who can contend with them?"

Hu Donglai said casually: "Moreover, have you not heard of the reputation of the Qingyu Guards? They represent the strongest force at the Seventh Level of Emperor Martial Arts in the Cangyun Domain."

"Wherever the Qingyu Guards go, not a blade of grass grows. What chance does Ye Wuji have?"

"Could it be that you don't think so?" Hu Donglai stared at the head of the Silver Family, his eyes equally profound.

"Who knows." The head of the Silver Family responded ambiguously.

In the past, he would have thought the same as Hu Donglai, believing that no one could challenge North Chill Palace. At least, in the Cangyun Domain, no one had the qualifications.

However, the news brought back by Yin Zhantian from the ruins made him less certain.

Ye Chen had seemingly treated the inheritance of the Illusory Dan Saint as trash, discarding it like worn-out shoes.

That was almost the inheritance of a Dan Immortal. Did Ye Chen really have no cards?

Did he not have any cards stronger than the Illusory Dan Saint's inheritance?

Perhaps others came here just to watch the excitement and see

 how North Chill Palace would capture Ye Wuji, but he had a different purpose.

He wanted to see if this situation presented an opportunity.

Was Ye Wuji worth the Silver Family's choice?

Hu Donglai's expression changed slightly as he looked at the head of the Silver Family.

Could it be that the Silver Family wanted to use Ye Wuji to rise to power?

It seemed likely.

With North Chill Palace dominating the Cangyun Domain, other forces had no chance to rise. Any signs of rising would be suppressed by the three guards of North Chill Palace, and any resistance would be crushed.

Now, someone was directly challenging North Chill Palace. If they won, the Cangyun Domain would change hands.

For certain forces, this could indeed be an opportunity.

Including his Hu Family, they had also entertained other thoughts, but no matter how they looked at it, it was difficult to see what chance Ye Wuji had.

"Perhaps, the opportunity for our Hu Family has come."

Suddenly, Hu Donglai's eyes lit up, a cold smile appearing on his lips.

As the Qingyu Guards approached, he was the first to rise into the air.

"The Hu Family of the Western Region welcomes the Qingyu Guards." Hu Donglai greeted with a smile, bowing respectfully.

With him taking the lead, many other masters of different forces also rose into the air, clearly expressing their stance in full support of North Chill Palace.

Hu Donglai then looked at the head of the Silver Family.
