Among the countless disciples of the Frost Lily Pavilion, confusion had already reached its peak.No one understood what was happening.
Everything that had happened over the past few days felt completely surreal.
When news first arrived that the Ninth Princess was marching toward the Frost Lily Pavilion, the entire sect had immediately entered a state of preparation.
Many disciples had believed a great battle was about to erupt.
After all, Yu Feiyan was one of the remaining contenders for the throne.
And the Frost Lily Pavilion stood firmly behind the Fourth Princess.
The two sides should have been enemies.
There should have been bloodshed.
There should have been war.
Yet the reality that followed was nothing like what anyone expected.
Many disciples still remembered the day Yu Feiyan arrived.
The Ninth Princess had entered their territory personally.
Not only that, she had requested to meet the Fourth Princess directly.
At the time, countless disciples had secretly mocked her.
Some believed she had come to negotiate.
Others believed she had come to surrender.
A few even thought she had gone mad.
After all, entering enemy territory personally was simply too reckless, especially when she didn’t even bring a single guard with her.
From their perspective, once Yu Feiyan stepped into the sect, her life was already in the Fourth Princess’s hands.
Yet shortly afterward, when she emerged from the Hall, something had changed.
The Pavilion Master’s attitude toward Yu Feiyan had changed.
The elders’ attitudes had also changed.
Even the usually cold and aloof Fourth Princess seemed different.
And before long, an even more shocking order arrived.
The Ninth Princess’s forces were permitted to enter the Frost Lily Pavilion.
At the time, countless disciples thought they had misheard.
Yu Feiyan’s army?
Entering the sect?
The very same army that should have been their enemy?
Yet the order came directly from the Fourth Princess and the Sect Master.
No one dared disobey.
Thus, tens of thousands of cultivators entered the Frost Lily Pavilion peacefully.
Not as prisoners or captives, but as guests.
Moreover, there was no announcement or whatsoever.
Naturally, this only caused even greater confusion.
Many disciples secretly discussed the matter and believed a temporary alliance must have been formed.
Others speculated that the Fourth Princess intended to cooperate with the Ninth Princess to deal with the Third Prince and First Prince.
That explanation seemed quite reasonable.
After all, Yu Wenzhao’s rise had become increasingly threatening.
With the Crimson Thunder Palace added to his side, he had become the strongest contender publicly.
If the Fourth Princess and Ninth Princess joined forces temporarily, perhaps they could suppress him together.
Although unusual, such an arrangement was not impossible.
Others even thought that perhaps the Ninth Princess must have surrendered and was working for their Princess.
At least, those were some of the conclusions that many made until now.
"The rightful owner of the throne is the Ninth Sister."
Yu Qingya announced.
Countless disciples stared at the Fourth Princess in shock.
Her words continued to echo within their minds.
Many disciples stood completely frozen. Some even wondered whether they had heard incorrectly.
They were fellow disciples and knew the Fourth Princess personality quite well.
And her ambition to become the Emperor has never been concealed as well.
So they were utterly confused when the Fourth Princess had declared that she had no interest in becoming Emperor.
Not only that, she openly acknowledged Yu Feiyan as the rightful heir.
The shocking part was not only Yu Qingya herself.
The Elders, The Pavilion Master and the senior leaders of the Frost Lily Pavilion haven’t objected either.
They remained standing quietly behind Yu Qingya as though everything she had just said was something that they agreed as well.
Just what the hell happened during that meeting?
What exactly had Yu Feiyan done to them?
No one knew, and no one dared ask.
Because regardless of their confusion, there was one fact they all understood.
The people standing above them had already made their decision.
And the will of the Pavilion Master and the Fourth Princess was absolute.
No matter what they personally thought.
No matter how unbelievable everything seemed.
They would just need to obey.
Meanwhile, Yu Wenzhao’s gaze never left Yu Feiyan.
The wariness within his eyes deepened noticeably.
At first, he had only viewed Yu Feiyan as an unpredictable variable.
A troublesome opponent with some strange methods.
But now, he was beginning to reevaluate her entirely.
Yu Qingya, one of the most talented princesses of the current generation.
Proud, cold, and aloof.
Even among the imperial princes and princesses, she was infamous for being stubborn and never yielding to anyone.
Yet this very same woman had openly acknowledged Yu Feiyan as Emperor.
The more Yu Wenzhao thought about it, the more dangerous Yu Feiyan appeared.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"Ninth Sister..."
His voice carried none of its previous mockery.
Only vigilance remained.
"It seems you’ve hidden yourself quite well."
Countless eyes turned toward Yu Feiyan.
Facing the attention of the entire battlefield, she merely blinked innocently.
A trace of confusion even appeared on her face.
"What do you mean, Third Brother?"
Her tone sounded completely sincere.
If not for the fact that Yu Qingya and Frost Lily Pavilion Elders were all acting submissive, one might even think that someone wronged Yu Feiyan.
Yu Wenzhao’s eyes narrowed immediately.
"Hahaha..."
The laughter gradually faded. The killing intent within his eyes became increasingly obvious.
"Ninth Sister! I truly underestimated you."
The atmosphere immediately became heavier.
Yu Feiyan simply smiled.
Yu Wenzhao continued staring directly at her.
Originally, among all the remaining competitors, Yu Feiyan had been the one he paid the least attention to.
She had been little more than an afterthought.
Yet now, the situation has reversed completely.
No matter how cunning and powerful the First Prince and Fourth Princess were, they were still people whom Yu Wenzhao deeply understood.
Although he wouldn’t claim to know everything about them, he knew enough to know just how much preparation he needed to deal with them.
But Yu Feiyan?
The more he tried to read her, the more confused he became.
It was even more confusing when he compared her timid and cowardly demeanor of the past to her current self.
Whether something had happened to make her change or she had been pretending before, it didn’t matter.
The current Yu Feiyan was someone he could not see through.
She was a variable.
A very dangerous variable!
And dangerous variables needed to be eliminated immediately.
A faint killing intent leaked from Yu Wenzhao’s body.
The surrounding temperature, which was already very low, seemed to drop even more.
His eyes locked onto Yu Feiyan.
"I never thought you could subdue the Fourth Sister so easily."
The words echoed clearly across the battlefield.
Yu Wenzhao intentionally used the word "subdue" to humiliate Yu Qingya.
Yu Wenzhao wanted to see if there was any reaction from Yu Qingya when he used those words, but there was still no retort and objection for her.
Which only made the situation even more frightening.
Just what had Yu Feiyan done to make Yu Qingya become so submissive?
However, Yu Wenzhao no longer intended to waste time in thinking about such a question whose answer he won’t be able to come up with.
His instincts were screaming warnings.
Every moment Yu Feiyan remained alive felt increasingly dangerous.
The First Prince could wait.
The Fourth Princess could also wait.
But this Ninth Princess, he suddenly felt, could not.
Slowly, Yu Wenzhao raised his hand.
The smile vanished completely from his face.
"Get ready!"
Boom!
A terrifying aura erupted from his body.
The sky trembled violently.
The clouds shattered apart.
Behind him, the two Earth Immortal Realm experts immediately stepped forward.
Their cultivation exploded outward without restraint.
The pressure descended upon heaven and earth.
Many weaker cultivators felt their legs shaking uncontrollably.
Yet the terrifying pressure did not stop there.
One Immortal Realm expert after another released their aura.
Nearly fifteen Immortal Realm cultivators stood proudly behind Yu Wenzhao.
The heavens darkened.
The spiritual Qi of the entire region became chaotic.
The massive fleet began shifting formation.
Countless flying ships moved simultaneously.
Killing intent flooded the sky.
The Third Prince’s army had finally revealed its fangs.
Yu Wenzhao’s voice echoed throughout the battlefield.
"Ninth Sister. You have become far too dangerous."
A frightening light flashed within his eyes.
"Today..."
His aura exploded once more.
"I will personally eliminate you!"
And for the first time since arriving at the Frost Lily Pavilion, Yu Wenzhao finally prepared to unleash the full strength of his faction.
The terrifying pressure of nearly fifteen Immortal Realm experts blanketed the heavens.
Killing intent churned throughout the battlefield.
Countless cultivators unconsciously held their breath.
Everyone could feel it.
War was about to begin.
Yet in the center of it all, the person standing at the heart of the storm showed not the slightest trace of panic.
Yu Feiyan blinked.
Then she sighed.
"Third Brother! Why are you in such a hurry?"
Yu Wenzhao’s expression remained cold.
Yu Feiyan shook her head helplessly.
She looked genuinely aggrieved.
"And here I was hoping to have a good talk before the fight."
