Once the news got out from the Chu royal mansion, it reached the ears of some of the major tycoon families very quickly.

News spread extremely fast between the various major tycoon families of the Chu royal city, and less than half a day later, all the major tycoon families in the Chu royal city knew that the imperial court of Yunyang was sending someone to the Chu royal city.

As time passed, the news continued to spread, and it spread to all the major grand families.

At the same time, Chuxiu Inn was also under tight surveillance by the city guard, to the extent that all the streets and alleys surrounding Chuxiu Inn had been sealed off, and no one was allowed to enter.

“Tonight, I have only one demand. Do not let anyone approach or enter Chuxiu Inn to bring news to that Zhou Donghuang!”

Xiang Xiong, the Chu king, said only this one sentence to Commander Xue Meng of the city guard when they met.

If no one brought him news, he did not think that Zhou Donghuang could know about Commander Xiao bringing the Cloud Condor to the Chu royal city, and would not need to worry that Zhou Donghuang would leave.

Of course, if Zhou Donghuang had coincidentally decided to leave that night, the city guard could not possibly stop him, because he had two golden-crowned eagles to ride and could simply fly out.

For this reason, he had ordered Xue Meng to personally keep watch on the sky above Chuxiu Inn before he returned from their meeting, and if he saw any hint of movement from the golden-crowned eagles, he was to send word back to the Chu royal family immediately.

If that occurred, he would wake commander Xiao, who would ride the Cloud Condor in pursuit of the Zhou Donghuang who would be riding the golden-crowned eagles.

There are several people with Zhou Donghuang, they cannot possibly ride the two golden-crowned eagles and leave together... they will need two trips at least to ferry everyone away.

Xiang Xiong’s confidence grew as he realized this.

...

The Shi family mansion.

The spacious courtyard was brightly lit.

There were three people seated around the stone table in the middle of the courtyard.

“Grandfather, I remember four years ago that the Great Consummation adept that the imperial court of Yunyang sent to kill those two golden-crowned eagles was Commander Xiao Jiancheng of the Yunyang imperial palace guard. He will be coming again, right?”

Shi Yu glanced at Shi Ji who was sitting beside him with a slight frown. “That time, he left with his tail between his legs; this time, what could he possibly do to those two golden-crowned eagles?”

Shi Yu had just arrived at his grandfather Shi Ji’s accommodation, and at the moment, he knew only that the imperial court of Yunyang had sent Xiao Jiancheng and did not know that the imperial court’s Cloud Condor would be coming with him.

“Father, you should be direct and make it clear to Xiao Yu... you see, not just me, but also Xiao Yu feels that Xiao Jiancheng alone does not have the capability to handle those two golden-crowned eagles.

Second Master Shi Yan of the Shi family was also present, looking at Shi Ji and shaking his head.

“Mm?”

Shi Yu gave a start at Shi Yan’s words. “Second Uncle, what do you mean by that?”

“Haha...”

Shi Yan laughed for a long time at that. After he had stopped laughing, he made a guess. “Xiao Yu, Commander Xiao will not be coming alone.”

“Not coming alone?”

Shi Yu’s eyes lit up. “Who else is coming with him?”

“Make a guess.”

Shi Yan chuckled.

“Guess?”

Shi Yu frowned slightly, and after muttering to himself for a while, his eyes lit up. “Second Uncle, the one who is coming with Commander Xiao... could it be that Cloud Condor of the Yunyang imperial court?”

“Xiao Yu, you managed to guess that?”

Now, not only was Shi Yan stunned, even Shi Ji was stunned.

“Is it true?”

Shi Yu did not expect himself to have guessed correctly, and he smiled and shook his head. “Actually, I was just putting myself in the shoes of the emperor of Yunyang and imagining what he would have done.”

“If I were him and if I were to send Commander Xiao again, I would definitely not send other Great Consummation adepts with him because that would be too wasteful. Moreover, I would not do anything I was not confident about. Therefore, I would send the Cloud Condor with Commander Xiao, that is the best decision.

Shi Yu finished in the same breath.

After listening to Shi Yu, Shi Ji said with an expression of satisfaction, “Yu’er, having you is the Shi family’s fortune... I believe, in the future, the Shi family will go far under your leadership!”

“Grandfather flatters me.”

Shi Yu smiled humbly and glanced subconsciously in the direction of Chuxiu Inn with a cold look.

“With Commander Xiao and the Cloud Condor together, those two golden-crowned eagles are done for!”

“As for Zhou Donghuang... they probably will not kill him. After all, there probably are some great treasures left behind by a Primal Core adept on him.”

“However, even if they don’t kill him for now, that Zhou Donghuang cannot have a pleasant fate. The imperial court of Yunyang cannot allow such a threat to exist.”

“Father, your killer is on his way to join you!”

...

The Tang family mansion.

The great hall was also brightly lit.

The patriarch of the Tang family, Tang Liunian, sat at the seat of honor, his expression extremely serious. “It really turned out as I guessed, the imperial court of Yunyang sent that Petty Consummation demon, the Cloud Condor.”

“Together with the accomplished Xiao Jiancheng... this time, Young Master Donghuang is in danger.”

As he finished muttering to himself, Tang Liunian heaved a long sigh.

“Xiao Jiancheng, together with a flying demon that can match the two golden-crowned eagles in speed... those two golden-crowned eagles will have no advantage, and they will definitely be killed in the battle!”

Head Elder Tang Yuxin shook his head with a bitter smile.

“With the two golden-crowned eagles dead... will Young Master Donghuang have the ability to stand up to Commander Xiao, who is accomplished and famous in the country of Yunyang for many years?”

Second Elder Tang Yong was also present, uncertainty showing in his eyes.

“It will be difficult.”

Tang Liunian shook his head. Although he knew the youth was confident, the youth’s opponent this time was Xiao Jiancheng who had the help of a Petty Consummation demon, the Cloud Condor, and he could not help but feel that the youth’s chances were slim.

“Patriarch, are we only able to watch helplessly as Young Master Donghuang goes to his death?”

Tang Young frowned and said in a low voice, “Whatever is said about him, he has saved our lives, and if not for him, Head Elder and I would definitely be dead, and you might not have managed to escape from the grizzly bear.”

“Yes, Patriarch.”

Tang Yuxin also looked at Tang Liunian. “Why don’t we make a trip to Chuxiu Inn and look for Young Master Donghuang to warn him about this, so that he can leave as soon as possible?”

“Head Elder, in your opinion, am I, Tang Liunian, an ungrateful person?”

Tang Liunian smiled bitterly. “As soon as I heard the news, I wanted to personally go to Chuxiu Inn, but I could not even approach it... Chuxiu Inn is completely surrounded by the city guard under the personal command of Xue Meng.”

“Now, even a housefly cannot get near to Chuxiu Inn, much less enter Chuxiu Inn.”

Tang Liunian finished, shaking his head.

“Moreover, I recently made a special trip to the Ren family mansion to warn Young Master Donghuang to leave through Young Mistress Ren Jiapei, who is rather close to Young Master Donghuang.

“In the end, although Young Mistress Ren did warn him, he has no intention of leaving. Because of this, I made another trip to the Ren family mansion to confirm this with Young Mistress Ren... but she said that she was confident that her Big Brother Zhou could weather this storm. I have already done so much... what else do you think I can do?”

Faced with Tang Liunian’s counter-arguments, Tang Yuxin and Tang Yong both could not help shaking their heads with a bitter smile.

Now they knew that their patriarch of their Tang family had done so much behind the scenes.

Moreover, this Young Master Donghuang did not seem to appreciate it.

...

The Yang family mansion.

“The imperial court of Yunyang has sent both Xiao Jiancheng and that Petty Consummation demon, the Cloud Condor? Excellent!”

Upon receiving the news, Patriarch Yang Yunji of the Yang family was full of excitement.

Over this period of time, when he saw the two golden-crowned eagles from the Lost Forest arrive at the Tang family banquet, and witnessing the youth standing on one of them as he departed under the escort of the other, he was green with regret.

If he had not expelled his daughter from the Yang family, the Yang family would be able to grow in strength on the back of that youth who was close to his daughter.

If they got together, it was almost a given that the Yang family could become a tycoon family!

In any case, there was no medicine for regret.

Once things were done, they were done for good. The floodwaters could not be swept back.

Later on, when he found out that the youth had ordered the golden-crowned eagles to wipe out the Fan family of Tianxiu city, he no longer had any regrets but instead immediately began to take delight in the youth’s impending misfortune, as he felt the youth was about to be in trouble.

Wiping out the tycoon Fan family and disregarding the decree of the imperial court of Yunyang, the youth was trying to get himself killed!

Even if the Chu royal family was unable to deal with the youth, in order to preserve the authority of the imperial court of Yunyang, the imperial court could not possibly tolerate the youth breaking the law at will!

That night, he received news.

The imperial court of Yunyang had sent an accomplished and experienced Great Consummation adept and a Petty Consummation flying demon Cloud Condor to deal with that Zhou Donghuang.

Under these circumstances, he did not think that Zhou Donghuang could escape with his life.

Die... if only he is dead, I will no longer need to have any regrets!

A cold gleam flashed across Yang Yunji’s eyes, and he gritted his teeth with a savage expression on his face. When he dies, it will prove that my decision was correct.

If I did not expel that girl, Yang Zixi from the Yang family, Zhou Donghuan**g’s close relationship with that girl would have dragged the Yang family into disaster when he offended the imperial court of Yunyang.

...

At the same time.

The seniors of many of the tycoon and grand families were gathered through the night, discussing the arrival of the men from the imperial court that night.

“The Chu king has ordered the city guard to seal off the streets and alleys surrounding Chuxiu Inn, with the intention of preventing anyone from bringing news to Zhou Donghuang.”

“Commander Xiao from the imperial court obviously does not intend to strike tonight.”

“He and the Cloud Condor had a long journey here, and with a night’s rest, they will be able to recuperate and regain their energy and face Zhou Donghuang and the two golden-crowned eagles in their best possible state.”

“Tomorrow, I fear there will be a terrible battle at Chuxiu Inn.”

“Let’s all disperse and go back to rest... tomorrow morning, we’ll go to Chuxiu Inn and watch Commander Xiao from the imperial court and the Cloud Condor fight Zhou Donghuang and the two golden-crowned eagles!”

...

Of course, most people could not sleep that night due to their anticipation of the fight at Chuxiu Inn the next morning.
