The cultivators stood high in the sky as their gazes scanned the Heavenly Battle Palace beneath them. One of them said, “This is the location of Dongxiao Continent’s Wangdu Law Battle.”

The others around the speaker nodded. Then, looking down, the people beneath them had odd expressions on their faces. After hearing those words, they knew that these people were not cultivators from the Dongxiao Continent but were from another continent. So they should be from a continent of a similar caliber.

Ye Futian and his group observed closely and found out that they did not behave like they were from a single entity; they moved and acted in separate smaller groups. They also instantly realized that these cultivators were most likely not from the same faction but multiple factions.

This meant that these people could be from one of the other six continents of the seven main continents of the Donghua Domain. Only a continent at around the Dongxiao Continent’s level would have such a domineering and powerful lineup.

Cultivators not from the seven main continents would never have dared to arrive in such a manner.

“This is the Heavenly Battle Palace, the location of Wangdu Law Battle. Are you not from Wangdu?” Yang Qian asked.

The cultivators looked down and scanned the area. Then, one of them said, “We come from the north.”

“The north.” Many cultivators’ pupils shrank. Within the territories of the Donghua Domain, the north specifically meant the northern areas among the seven main continents, and one continent in the northern areas was one of the seven main continents.

Among the seven main continents within the Donghua Domain, the Donghua Continent was at the center. It was where the Donghua Domain Chief’s Office was situated, and it was most certainly the core of one of the 18 Divine Prefecture domains, which would be the Donghua Domain. The other six main continents surrounded the Donghua Continent, and between the main continents were many other continental plates scattered around the six main continents. It looked like a myriad of stars surrounding the moon.

The Dongxiao Continent was in the eastern areas, and the north in the northern areas meant the Yanyun Continent.

Since these people came from the north, they were most certainly from the Yanyun Continent.

The cultivators of the Yanyun Continent arriving in Wangdu of the Donghua Continent were not an insignificant event. It was possible that the military leaders of the Yanyun Continent had also arrived, and it was unclear if they were hidden among the crowd.

The north, Ye Futian thought. He was searching for a memory. Due to Supreme Deity Donglai’s memories, he knew a little bit about many things concerning the Divine Prefecture. However, the memories were scattered and in pieces. So it was still relatively blurry. Only the memory that Supreme Deity Donglai specifically left within the will during his cultivation was preserved perfectly. That was why Ye Futian could inherit Supreme Deity Donglai’s cultivation. However, when it came to things concerning the external world, he only knew a little, but the memories were always vague.

The north… It seemed to have left a rather strong impression.

Supreme Deity Donglai’s main enemy was in the north.

Lin Qiu’s expression turned solemn. He looked at Ye Futian beside him from the side. He moved as if he wanted to speak but stopped before saying anything. He had guessed Ye Futian’s identity, and there was a high likelihood that these people were connected to Ye Futian in a ridiculous number of ways.

“How much do you know about the north?” Ye Futian transmitted his voice to Lin Qiu, who was beside him. He noticed that Lin Qiu had wanted to speak to him earlier, so he guessed that Lin Qiu knew some things.

“The northern continents centers around the Yanyun Continent. The Yanyun Continent is the equivalent of our Dongxiao Continent. The difference between us is that the Yanyun Continent’s influence is more frightening. Two superpowers had tried to conquer the continents in the past, the ancient royal families of the Yan clan and the Yun clan. The Yun clan had vanished over time, and only the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family stayed and carried on until this day. It has a long history. Its history is not something the Wangshen Watchtower can compare against.”

Lin Qiu transmitted his voice and continued to brief Ye Futian. “The Great Yan Ancient Royal Family has been around for many years. Their background is profound, and they are incredibly strong. They have a lot of influence across the entire Donghua Domain, and they are very forceful and overbearing when doing things. A long time ago, an argument arose between Supreme Deity Donglai and the Great Yan Ancient Royal city. Both sides were incredibly prideful and unrelenting, which led to an impasse and an ensuing conflict that led to a major war. The war resulted in Supreme Deity Donglai’s fall, the death of the legendary Alchemy Master, and the Eastern Deity Island isolating itself from the outside world.”

Ye Futian nodded. He finally understood.

The Yan Ancient Royal Family was the Eastern Deity Island’s main enemy and a potential threat to him. It was no wonder he felt that the northern land sounded familiar. It was actually the base of the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family.

This meant that the cultivators of the Yan Ancient Royal Family might have also arrived in Wangdu.

His gaze focused on the group of figures in the sky. However, he did not discover any core figures among them. It seemed as if the cultivators of the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family did not come personally. After all, they were of different status. The Great Yan Ancient Royal Family’s cultivators were the same level as the Wangshen Watchtower. If they wanted to speak to anyone, they would directly speak to the Wangshen Watchtower. There was no need for them to show off their strength in front of the top factions of Wangdu. It did not suit the status of an ancient royal family.

It was the same as last time when they were cultivating in the Eastern Deity Island, the cultivator from the Jiang Ancient Royal Family, Jiang Jiuming, who always acted alone and never mingled with any other factions. It was because they were not of the same level.

So the group of cultivators in front of them were most likely cultivators from various factions of the Yanyun Continent, which followed the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family.

Naturally, Yang Qian and the others also realized that cultivators from the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family had arrived after learning that the group had come from the north. Were they here for the Wangshen Watchtower?

The eyes of the cultivators suddenly looked a few times heavier. The cultivators underneath the Heavenly Battle Palace also stopped their battle. Everyone raised their head to look at the mighty cultivators in the sky. The vast and powerful Heavenly Battle Palace suddenly became extremely quiet.

The forces of the north had arrived in Wangdu of the Dongxiao Continent. Of course, the people had realized just how unusual it was. Something was probably about to happen.

Everyone knew the conflict between Wangshen Watchtower’s Millet Emperor and the ancient royal family from the north back then. Neither side was friendly with the other. So, the visitors most likely did come with good intentions.

“Dear cultivators from the north, may I inquire as to the purpose of this visit to my Heavenly Battle Palace?” a voice asked. It came from within the Heavenly Battle Palace. The tone was strong and powerful. Just as the sentence ended, a group of cultivators strode out from within the Heavenly Battle Palace. The one leading the group looked full of energy, and an overbearing and powerful will might emanated from his body. He was like a war god. It was clear that this middle-aged man was the palace lord of the Heavenly Battle Palace, the war god-like existence of the Yang clan, Yang Jian.

“We come from the north and heard that the Heavenly Battle Palace is the place of the law battle. That is why we came here, to observe and evaluate the levels of the cultivators of Wangdu. You can all proceed,” answered a figure in the sky. They still maintained their condescending and arrogant attitude. It was extremely discomforting.

Under the circumstances, how could the Heavenly Battle Palace start the law battle as if nothing had happened?

“Since you are here, why don’t you also take part? What’s the fun in only observing?” answered Yang Jian in a calm and cool tone. He did not like the visitors’ attitude. Even if they did come from the Yanyun Continent, this was their territory, Wangdu of the Dongxiao Continent. Even a mighty dragon would have to bow down if it had arrived.

Moreover, these people were clearly trying to instigate things. As the palace lord of the Heavenly Battle Palace, Yang Jian, an incredibly iron-blooded and domineering character, would never allow them to act so cheeky.

After finishing his sentence, multiple gazes landed on the Heavenly Battle Palace’s lord Yang Jian’s body. A powerful and intense might of the Great Path was released. However, Yang Jian was a peak Renhuang. He allowed the might of the Great Path to land on his body as he maintained a calm expression. A great aura of the Great Path actually also emerged from his body, instantly filling the space with an intense battle will. Everyone inside the Heavenly Battle Palace could clearly feel the strength and intensity of the battle will.

The people of the north did not arrive with good intentions.

“I was just thinking the same thing,” answered one of the elders among them calmly. He was also a peak existence at the ninth plane. When Yang Jian saw that someone like the elder was here, he understood that the cultivators of the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family from the Yanyun Continent had arrived. Moreover, they were already inside Wangdu, possibly watching everything that was happening at that moment.

Without the backing of the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family’s cultivators, these people never would have had the guts to provoke them. Moreover, if not for the cultivators of the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family, a person as powerful as that elder would not have come so far.

It seemed like this debacle was not meant to target them. Instead, they targeted the Wangshen Watchtower.

As he thought of that, his divine consciousness shot out toward a place far away in search of something. He kept widening his search, and with the Heavenly Battle Palace as the center, everything inside Wangdu appeared in his mind. It was as if he could see everything in one go.

Amidst a vast crowd, Yang Jian quickly discovered a tavern. A group of dignified people aura sat within this tavern. No one else was there. It was like they had cleared the place. The person leading the group seemed rather young, but he was surrounded only by high-level Renhuangs.

“Impudence!” An elder quickly raised his head to look outside. The young man also seemed to frown as he looked outside. Then, as if his gaze was able to pierce through the sky, he looked toward the direction of the Heavenly Battle Palace. There was no anger in his eyes. He seemed calm. The strongest person of the Heavenly Battle Palace was quite formidable—after all, it did not take long for him to find them!
