Chapter 900: Climbing to the Summit, I Am the Peak!

"Xiao Ran'er, do you know the lord of Huangjin City?" Yun Zhongyue asked.

"Not just know! This lord swore to serve Instructor Ye for life!" Hong Wu couldn't help interjecting.

Yun Zhongyue was momentarily stunned, then smiled and shook her head, sincerely admiring: "Our Xiao Ran'er's personal charisma truly is unstoppable!"

"Indeed, and just look whose niece she is."

"You brat, your mouth is so sweet, even your uncle wishes he could hand over his heart to you!"

Before long, Nangong Mo arrived.

The man walking in the moonlight had a graceful bearing; compared to his time in Xiliang City he had slimmed a bit, yet he also seemed more mature, with a hint of world‑worn experience.

However, the only flaw in his beauty was the missing arm, which was rather regrettable.

Everyone was speculating about Nangong Mo's purpose for coming; after all, Beimingzhou had undergone a massive turnover, and the news that Nangong Mo became lord of Huangjin City had already spread throughout the Mysterious Void, so everyone was curious about the new lord.

After greeting Yun Batian, Nangong Mo walked straight toward Ye Qingran, and his entire demeanor seemed to change in an instant.

"Long time no see, Lord Nan Gong," Ye Qingran looked up at the man standing before her desk, her tone laced with a hint of teasing.

Nangong Mo's handsome, expressionless face showed a faint smile in response to Ye Qingran's words.

It was very faint.

Yet on his face it was so evident, like peach blossoms blooming on snow, both shocking and beautiful.

The subordinates who came with Nangong Mo were all stunned.

Had they ever seen the lord smile before?

They had once thought the lord never smiled, but the truth was not so; it was simply because that person had not appeared.

"Stop teasing me; I'm just a hired worker," Nangong Mo said lightly. His voice was pleasant, with a hint of cheerfulness.

Nangong Mo discovered that only when he was with Ye Qingran could he lower all his defenses and be his true self.

Ye Qingran raised an eyebrow, "Then, hired worker, how is Huangjin City now?"

"I truly hope you have time to go see; I think you won't be disappointed!"

Ye Qingran nodded. She believed Nangong Mo had the ability.

The crowd was surprised; the lord of Huangjin City called himself a hired worker, and the real lord turned out to be Ye Qingran!

However, aside from the Yun Tribe members, everyone else here were Ye Qingran's friends or followers, and they were not very surprised.

After all, they had long known Ye Qingran possessed such strength and charisma!

"Are you coming this time to go to Xuyu as well?"

Nangong Mo shook his head, "No. I came to tell you, go to Xuyu without worry; the Mysterious Void has me."

Nangong Mo's eyes showed a resolute gleam.

He will guard her from behind as she forges a path, becoming her strongest support, so she has no worries.

The next day.

Afternoon.

On the square of Yunzu Neicheng, a large crowd gathered, all intending to head to Xuyu.

"What? If you don't take the Heaven‑Connecting Path, how will you reach Xuyu?"

In the hall, Yun Batian looked at Ye Qingran with a surprised expression.

He had always thought Ye Qingran and the others would use the teleportation array of the Heaven‑Connecting Path to go to Xuyu, but just now, Ye Qingran said otherwise.

Ye Qingran calmly produced a scroll, "Then, rely on this."

"Hmm?"

Yun Batian and the others all turned to look at the scroll in Ye Qingran's hand, exclaiming, "Isn't that the Cloud Map?"

In Ye Qingran's hand was indeed the Yun Tribe's treasured Cloud Map.

But since when has the Cloud Map possessed the ability to send people to Xuyu?

Not only Yun Batian wore a surprised look; the others also stared at Ye Qingran with curiosity, while Fu Hanxiu only smiled silently.

Ye Qingran stood, opened the Cloud Map, and said calmly, "Recently, while tinkering with the Cloud Map, I discovered a door inside; push it open and it leads to Xuyu."

"What?"

Yun Batian shouted in shock, his face awestruck.

As the Clan Leader of the Yun Tribe, he hadn't even known the Cloud Map contained such a door!

"What does that door look like?"

Ye Qingran thought for a moment, then said, "It's a large black door."

She had sensed that black door when she first encountered the Cloud Map, but at the time it seemed truly eerie, so she dared not act rashly and left it unopened.

This time, returning from the Heaven‑Connecting Path, she examined the door again and found that behind it was indeed Xuyu!

Fu San and Han Xing volunteered, applied to pass through the door, and went to Xuyu. However, as soon as they passed, they vanished, and she could not retrieve them.

Of course, they are not in mortal danger at present.

Therefore, this time she intends to go through the door herself to Xuyu.

When Ye Qingran's party appeared, everyone turned to look; without a word, Ye Qingran summoned the Cloud Map, and a black door gradually became clear, towering in the sky, with a hundred‑step Stone Steps descending.

"Is this the gate leading to Xuyu? How marvelous!"

"I never imagined I would one day be able to go to a place like Xuyu."

"Turns out the Cloud Map has such a hidden function! All these years our Yun Tribe people never discovered it, and Miss Qingran is truly impressive!"

Everyone's gaze examined the wondrous door, each feeling novelty and awe, and secretly admiring Ye Qingran, who indeed possessed a fully‑leveled Yun Tribe Bloodline.

"Beyond this door lies Xuyu. However, before you step through, I must warn you that I don't know where you may be sent, and you cannot return quickly. So anyone wishing to go to Xuyu should think carefully before deciding."

Ye Qingran's voice reached each person's ears.

The previously excited crowd's expressions grew solemn.

Although they were all Heavenly Pride figures of Profound Subtle, facing Xuyu they still felt worried and even afraid. After all, Xuyu was too mysterious, too powerful; even they were in awe, making it hard not to be afraid and worried.

"The sea ends where the sky makes the shore; I climb to the peak and become the peak! It's just a stronger world—what do we have to fear?"

This remark was spoken by Long Ya, resounding, heroic and confident, infecting countless people.

Everyone's hearts were shaken.

What a fine "The sea ends where the sky makes the shore; I climb to the peak and become the peak!"

Overbearing!

Yeah, although Profound Subtle can't compare to Xuyu, Xuyu isn't hell either; they are inherently Heavenly Pride figures—what is there to fear?

"We're not afraid! It's just Xuyu; we'll surely carve out a piece of sky there!"

"Exactly! We're so young; even if the road ahead is filled with thorns, we're not afraid!"

"If we don't even have the courage to venture forth, that would be the most pitiable!"

Aofeng glanced at Long Ya with disdain, mocking: "Your skin is really thick!"

That overbearing remark just now was clearly something Ye Qingran said when she trained them, the Jiuzhou Legion, earlier.

She too had fallen for that line back then!

Long Ya smiled indifferently, showing a mouthful of big white teeth: "Isn't this just perfect for the occasion!"

The first to head toward the Xuyu gate were several hundred of the Jiuzhou Legion; they formed a line and continued up the steps.

"Boss, we'll meet in Xuyu!"

Long Ya struck a handsome pose, after being called a "show-off" by Aofeng, he kicked a foot into the door; at the moment he stumbled in, Aofeng grabbed his hand, and the two disappeared together.

Afterward, the members of the Jiuzhou Legion left one after another; then came the Yun Tribe people, also passing through the gate one by one, heading for Xuyu.

Not long after, only Ye Qingran's family of four remained, along with Yun Zhongyue and Yun Zhongge and a few others.
