Chapter 2242: Upheaval on the Cloud Plane (2/2)

“Mother!” Xi Yu called out and immediately went up to receive them.

“Yu’er!” The graceful woman at the very front was also joyful. She arrived before Xi Yu with just a single step and extended her arms, embracing Xi Yu tightly.

This woman happened to be the empress of the Xi Empire.

However, she was currently covered with blood. Even many of the people behind her were soaked in blood and wounded.

“Mother, what has happened to you? What has happened in the palace? And where’s father? Is father well?” Xi Yu’s expression changed drastically when she saw the blood on the empress. Her heart became filled with unease.

At this moment, Ming Dong had also taken to the skies with Yun Xiaoyan, watching from afar.

“Yu’er, it’s not the time to talk about that. Immediately leave with all the people of the Tian Yuan clan. The sooner, the better. There’s not much time left,” the empress said frantically. She pulled Xi Yu along with her as she flew into the Tian Yuan clan. There was no time for her to explain at all.

“Mother, what has happened?” Xi Yu was uneasy as she asked in complete concern.

“Don’t ask about it for now. Yu’er, listen to your mother. Immediately gather the important people.” The empress said sternly before looking at a short, old man behind her, “Subject Tian, please prepare the teleportation formation immediately.”

The short old man was also an Infinite Prime. He nodded in response to the empress and immediately began to cast down a teleportation formation.

“It’s very safe here. You don’t need to go anywhere,” at this moment, Ming Dong arrived with Yun Xiaoyan and said calmly.

The empress glanced at Ming Dong. Even though she did not recognise him, she could tell that he was only a Godking. Coupled with how urgent the situation was, she was in no mood to waste words on Ming Dong. She only ordered subject Tian to cast down the teleportation formation faster.

“Hahaha, you still want to leave? Empress, do you still think you can leave?” At this moment, a shout rang out from far away. A group of people rapidly approached the area from the distance. They moved extremely quickly, entering the territory of the provincial city in the blink of an eye and surrounding the empress’ group.

The empress’ expression immediately became extremely ugly. She looked at Xi Yu beside her and determination flooded her eyes. She thought, “I never thought they would arrive so soon. Even if I have to die here, I must send Yu’er away safely. I can’t let anything happen to her.”

The leading old man in the new group of people glanced at the empress and Xi Yu. He sneered, “Empress, why aren’t you running anymore? But today, not only will you fail to escape, but even your daughter, princess Xi Yu, will face death. The Tian Yuan clan, a puny little clan, will be destroyed because of you as well.”

The old man would have been better off if he did not mention the Tian Yuan clan. Ming Dong’s face immediately sank when he heard these words, and killing intent filled his eyes. He sneered, “Really? I’d like to see who’s bold enough to touch the Tian Yuan clan today.”

The old man looked at Ming Dong in great surprise. At that moment, he had even begun to doubt his ears. A mere Godking was actually speaking to him like that.

Not only was the old man stunned, but even the empress looked at Ming Dong in surprise.

Recovering, the old man sniggered. He looked at Ming Dong coldly and said, “I can wipe out the mere Tian Yuan clan with a single gesture. I’ll show you how exactly I destroy this little clan.”

With that, the old man pressed his hand towards the Tian Yuan clan.

Immediately, the powerful pressure of a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime surged out from his body. A huge hand appeared in the air, engulfing the Tian Yuan clan with frightening ripples of energy.
