Chu Qingcheng could hear the content of the conversation going on outside the ancient palace hall. Not only that, the current Chu Qingcheng could also feel the killing intent emanating from the ancient palace, entering the ancient palace hall.

It seemed that the alliance between the TianChu Martial Academy and the two Imperial Conferred Families had been unknowingly completed!

Turning her head again, Chu Qingcheng stared deeply at Xia Xinghe. Finally, with resolution in her eyes, she resolutely stepped out of the ancient palace.

The instant Chu Qingcheng walked out of the ancient palace, the gazes of the crowd naturally gathered on her.

In the searing waves of yellow sand, Chu Qingcheng was like a fairy that had descended from the heavens. Her white clothes were as white as snow, and her expression was as cold as snow. Her beautiful face was filled with indifference and determination as her deep black eyes swept across the crowd outside the ancient palace one by one.

Jing San, along with the fat Qian Si and the scrawny Feng Wu, stood outside the main entrance of the ancient palace. The nine people standing opposite Jing San were split into three smaller camps.

The TianChu Martial Academy's side, Zhou Yu, Xu Fei, and Qu Mei were naturally all present. Besides these three people, the other six people were from the two great Imperial Conferred Families.

The three people of the Ning Family were all wearing long white robes. The word "Ning" was embroidered on their chests, indicating their identities.

Chu Qingcheng recognized the leader of the group. His name was Ning Rong, and he was an upright, square-faced middle-aged man. He was one of the top three experts in the Ning Clan, and it was said that his cultivation had already reached the eighth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror.

The two people behind Ning Rong, on the other hand, were completely unfamiliar to Chu Qingcheng. However, the aura exuded by these two people couldn't be underestimated. At the very least, they weren't any weaker than the ruthless characters of Han Du and Luo Cheng.

On the other side was a group of three black-cloaked men. On their chests were embroidered the word "Xiang." These three were people from the Royal Clan.

The Xiang Clan's leading figure, Xiang Ru, had also met him several times. He was a burly middle-aged man with a gentle gaze, his status within the Xiang Clan was not inferior to Ning Rong's position in the Ning Clan. Not only was his cultivation slightly higher than Ning Rong's, his shrewd and shrewd city was endless, and he was known as the "Poison Military Advisor" in the capital city.

As for the other two members of the Xiang Clan, Chu Qingcheng had never seen them before.

Given Chu Qingcheng's status, as well as the transcendent status bestowed upon her by the Falling Cloud Sect, how could an ordinary person be remembered by her?

It was also very normal for him to not recognize the four people from the Ning and Xiang Clans.

Chu Qingcheng might not know those people, but everyone knew her!

"Grand Princess?" Xun frowned and a strange look flashed across his eyes as if he was thinking about something.

Upon seeing Chu Qingcheng, Zhou Yu immediately sneered, "Since Your Highness the Grand Princess has walked out of the ancient hall, then Xia Xinghe must be in the ancient hall. Everyone, if you don't increase your speed, then the good stuff from the ancient ruins will fall into the hands of Xia Xinghe!"

"Xia Xinghe?" Ning Rong disdainfully curled his lips. "He's just a brat. Even if the treasure falls into his hands, I can snatch it back!"

"Ning Rong, don't underestimate Xia Xinghe." Zhou Yu's expression turned ugly.

Ning Rong looked at Xia Xinghe. Didn't Ning Rong look down at the TianChu Martial Arts Academy which had been continuously beaten up by Xia Xinghe as well?

However, Zhou Yu knew that now was not the time to fall out with Ning Rong.

Zhou Yu, Xue Long from your Tianchu Martial School died at the hands of Xia Xinghe. Xue Long was incompetent, and he was at the fifth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror. He couldn't even kill a kid in the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror, but our Ning Family is different. Ning Rong laughed arrogantly, "Even if he has superior earth-rank talent, in the face of absolute strength, he's nothing more than a decoration."

On one side, just as Ning Rong's arrogant voice landed, Qu Mei sneered, "Since that's the case, let's invite the Ning Family's experts into the ancient hall and kill Xia Xinghe. The Shadow Army and the Grand Princess will be controlled by our TianChu Martial Academy and the Xiang Family together, what do you say?"

"Very good!" Ning Rong hurriedly agreed to Qu Mei's suggestion, as if he was afraid that the TianChu Martial Academy and Xiang Family would go back on their word.

With that, Ning Rong led the two from the Ning Clan around to the side of the ancient hall. After that, Ning Rong signaled to the TianChu Martial Academy and Xiang Clan that they could begin. Once Chu Qingcheng and the Shadow Army were stopped, Ning Rong would immediately lead the Ning Clan and charge into the ancient hall to kill Xia Xingchen!

Zhou Yu didn't show any emotions towards Ning Rong's actions, tacitly agreeing to Qu Mei's plan …

Others might not understand Xia Xinghe, but how could the TianChu Martial Academy not understand it?

The Tianwu Academy had already launched a thorough investigation into Xia Xinghe. Although they weren't willing to admit it, Zhou Yu still had to admit that Xia Xinghe had killed Xue Long with the aid of pills and talent, but that was still a part of his strength!

Who knew if Xia Xingchen still had any pills that could instantly raise his cultivation?

If there really was such a thing and Xia Xinghe's speed of breakthrough was unimaginably fast, then even an ordinary Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant might not be Xia Xinghe's match!

Because the Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant that always protected Xia Xinghe had broken through too quickly, almost everyone had overlooked Xia Xinghe's speed of breakthrough. There was no such thing as a lone Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant!

That was why the TianChu Martial Academy had sent out such a powerful lineup to kill Xia Xinghe. From this, one could see how much the TianChu Martial Academy valued and feared Xia Xingchen!

Now, since the Ning Family wanted to lead the charge, that would be for the best. Although they couldn't personally kill Xia Xinghe, as long as Xia Xinghe died, Zhou Yu would be able to return and report to them.

On the other side, Xiang Ru nodded after some consideration, and said softly, "Brother Ning, since you're interested in Xia Xing, then I won't fight for this opportunity with Brother Ning. We'll stay at home and fight with the Grand Princess and the Shadow Army together!"

"Humph!" Ning Rong snorted coldly, but a smile appeared on his face uncontrollably.

Ning Rong hadn't seen Xia Xingchen's methods before, so Xia Xinghe was indeed just a kid who only knew how to use tricks. Ning Rong was fully confident that he could kill someone like him. After all, in Ning Rong's eyes, Xue Long was also someone who couldn't withstand a single blow!

The Ning and Xiang Families of the Tianshu Academy had already assigned their respective missions. During the entire process, these three powers were all talking to themselves, completely disregarding Chu Qingcheng and Jing San …

"Everyone." Chu Qingcheng slowly walked down the stone steps outside the ancient palace and stood behind Jing San and the other two. Her beautiful eyes swept across the entire TianChu Martial Academy, then she turned to the nine people from the Ning Family and spoke with a voice devoid of emotion, "Did you ask for my opinion?"
