Countless figures stood below Sky Mountain, looking up at the figure in white . At that moment, many people realized that the second disciple of the Cottage was also one of the most brilliant women of the Eastern Barren Territory . In fact, "one of" might not even be needed . Even Lady Yuxiao of the Donghua Clan couldn't compare with her shocking beauty, coldly arrogant personality, and absolute talent and ability . Zhuge Hui won in all aspects .
The first three disciples of the Cottage were all standing at the tip of the Eastern Barren Territory . This was also why the Qin Dynasty viewed the Cottage as the biggest threat even though they only had eight disciples . They were just too powerful .
In this battle, even Qin Yu couldn't defend himself before Zhuge Hui . How could anyone else from the Qin Dynasty fight against her? Probably a bunch of them would die from just one crack of the whip .
Zhuge Hui's pretty face still had a faint smile, but her smile gave people a cold feeling . She waved her arm and the whip curled up again . It danced in the air, crackling explosively . The rumbling thunder resounded in the air . Zhuge Hui was bathed in the thunder's glory like a goddess .
Bolts of lightning flowed down the whip . The tip connected with the thunder in the air . Lightning exploded there; it was powerful enough to destroy everything .
Boom . Zhuge Hui waved her arm . That moment, the thunder gods seemed to move with her . Her whip seemed to drag endless thunder down from the sky, hurling toward Qin Yu .
Feeling the mightiness, many people were terrified . If they stood there, they would definitely be destroyed .
Before the whip arrived, endless thunder and lightning already flew toward Qin Yu . A Saint could cast a spell with a thought . Zhuge Hui was also someone at the pinnacle of the Noble Plane who had a Saint's Will and a Saintly ritual implement . One could imagine how powerful the whip's spell was .

The snowy ground exploded . Qin Yu's body was shrouded in lightning . His dragon soared into the air . His armor was extremely brilliant and resisted the deadly thunder . At that moment, he was like Zhuge Hui, bathing in the divine thunder .
Seeing the whip come, Qin Yu's expression was terrifying . He stabbed his dragon spear again, riding a dragon's roar .
With boundless electric brilliance, the whip was like a divine snake . It snaked upward, curling around the dragon . Beams of lightning cut through everything and killed the dragon . The whip snaked up the dragon spear and transformed into a sharp blade . It hit Qin Yu squarely . Beams of thunder stabbed through . The whip was now like an undefeatable blade, about to pierce Qin Yu's body .
Qin Yu instantly drowned in the lightning . If not for the powerful armor ritual implement, he would be stabbed through by the whip . Even so, his body still trembled under the light and was thrown back . However, Zhuge Hui didn't show any sign of stopping . Her whip curled around Qin Yu and tossed him in the air . Then it slapped down, crackling continuously . Everyone saw how Qin Yu's body was ravaged cruelly in the air .
With a huge boom, Qin Yu was slapped onto the ground . His entire body was numb . Both his physical body and mind were traumatized . Even with the Saintly ritual implement, he was still in a pathetic state .
"Enough," a voice said . Figures flashed before Qin Yu . They were from the Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan .
"Do you still want an explanation?" Zhuge Hui asked coldly, gazing at them . Qin Yu stood up and spat out blood . His body twisted but he looked up, staring at the figure in the air . He was so humiliated . As the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty, he had never been humiliated like this .
His son, Qin Li, and his sister, Qin Mengruo, had both been killed . Now, not only did the Cottage not compensate him, they defeated him so cruelly before everyone in the Eastern Barren Territory . One could imagine how Qin Yu was feeling now . His eyes were bloody and filled with bloodthirstiness .

Lady Yuxiao, the clan leader of the Donghua Clan, and others all stared up at Zhuge Hui . She had a Saintly ritual implement and such powerful combat ability . She was definitely a force to be reckoned with . Paired with the Sword Saint, it would need the leaders of the Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan to defeat them . If they fought here, they wouldn't gain anything . It might result in people of lower planes on both sides getting killed . Those of higher planes might not win either . At least, no one could defeat Zhuge Hui and the Sword Saint .
It seemed that they had to swallow this humiliation .
"Let's go," Qin Yu gritted out . He clenched his fists tightly and murderous intent filled the air . But he couldn't kill Zhuge Hui . Not only that, he had to be defeated so humiliatingly .
The group turned and walked away . In the air, Zhuge Hui collected her aura and put her whip away, casually tying it around her waist . Her delicate waist looked so thin and soft . She was such a beauty but had such shocking combat ability . Practically no one could defeat her .
A battle that could have erupted ended just like this . It seemed that both sides had some scruples . After all, no one could bear the consequences if a battle of this level really erupted at full force .
Before, the Qin Dynasty was sure they could make the Liu Kingdom disappear so they destroyed it . However, the Cottage, College, and Sword Saint were on a completely different level . If Qin Yu had defeated Zhuge Hui in this battle, they would try to kill everyone here . But since Qin Yu was defeated, they had no way of winning .
The Cottage had these worries too . Even though the Sword Saint and Zhuge Hui were powerful, the strongest enemies hadn't acted yet . It was enough to just force them back . If a full-out war really happened, the disciples of the College and Sword Saint Mountain would also be wiped out .
The people of the Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan hadn't actually left yet . They were waiting for the rest of the people to come down from the mountain .
Time passed bit by bit . Because of that battle, the atmosphere was a bit ambiguous . Gradually, people came down . At this time, a beautiful figure walked over the white snow towards the crowd .

"Qingqing . " Lady Yuxiao and Lu Nantian walked up . Hua Qingqing walked towards the Donghua Clan and looked at the two with complex feelings .
"You didn't go up Sky Mountain?" Lady Yuxiao asked . Few outsiders knew about her daughter Hua Qingqing's talent, but she was clear . Hua Qingqing didn't like fighting and rarely displayed her talent . But actually, Qian Shanmu was far behind her . She was also pure and could fend off the evil intent . It was highly possible for her to climb Sky Mountain .
Hua Qingqing shook her head and whispered, "I climbed up . "
Lady Yuxiao's eyes flashed; her heart trembled . Hua Qingqing had reached the top . "What is there?" she asked . It was rumored that the mountaintop had marks of the two emperors . They had ruled the world . What could they have left behind? Why did a bell ring on Sky Mountain?
"The two emperors once played a song at the peak of Sky Mountain," Hua Qingqing said . "Their intents created an image . They left behind Ukiyo, one of the ten musical masterpieces of the Divine Prefecture . "
Lady Yuxiao's heart jumped . She had taught Hua Qingqing and Qian Shanmu musical sorcery . She became famous in her youth and had even been higher than the present top three beauties of the Eastern Barren Territory . No one dared to say they were better at musical sorcery than her in the Eastern Barren Territory . She obviously was more familiar with the top ten musical pieces . Those were the ultimate dreams of anyone who cultivated in musical sorcery .
"You heard it?" Lady Yuxiao's voice changed .
"Yes . " Hua Qingqing nodded and smiled . "It is beautiful but sad . I memorized the first half but I was unable to play the second half . "
"Unable to play?" Lady Yuxiao was a bit disappointed but quickly recovered . Hua Qingqing was insanely talented but it was understandable if she couldn't play one of the top ten pieces . The artistic conception must be so powerful .
"What a pity . " Lady Yuxiao sighed . "It is rumored that Ukiyo is out of the world . Even you cannot play it . It seems that the Eastern Barren Territory is not destined to be able to witness the top ten pieces . Apparently, Donghuang the Great will no longer play Ukiyo in the world . Will this piece just die away like this?"
"Die away?" Hua Qingqing sighed inwardly . Perhaps Ukiyo would appear in the Eastern Barren Territory soon . She didn't say anything else . She didn't tell Lady Yuxiao that Ye Futian was also at the mountaintop and was able to play Ukiyo . Her heart still hadn't recovered .
If her mother and senior brother knew what had transpired at the mountaintop, she wouldn't know how to face Qian Shanmu .
…
At the mountaintop, snow flew as the music streamed gracefully . Ye Futian played Ukiyo again and again .
As he tried again and again, he felt his will enter the white snow, floating with it . He felt endless Spiritual Qi flow through . If his spiritual intent was strong enough, he might be able to control all the Spiritual Qi in Sky Mountain .
Sitting cross-legged, light flashed around Ye Futian . The snow that filled the air fell onto him, covering his body . His eyes were closed tightly . As his senses expanded, he felt that the intent of the two emperors was everywhere . It seemed to have melded with the snow .
Gradually, a miraculous scene appeared in his senses . He was standing at the mountaintop and feeling the boundless Spiritual Qi that fell down . It was like a ritual bell . It was shapeless and invisible, falling with the snow . It covered Sky Mountain and pressed down on it . Perhaps, this was the pressure that they all felt .
As his will melded into the flying snow, the sense grew clearer . Not only was there a ritual bell that weighed down on Sky Mountain, he also sensed an extremely dark Demon Bird . It was also in Sky Mountain!
