"Your Majesty, the martial arts Experts of the Three Great Empires have set out one after another."
Inside the Imperial Palace of the capital, Julian held an intelligence report, reporting to Emperor Dominic Su with a worried face.
Dominic Su frowned.
"Do we know who they are?"
Julian said: "Simon Situ, Sylvia Shen, and the Netherworld Swordsman of the Star Cloud Empire; Zack Zhao, Colin Chen, and Zane Zhuge of the Purple Sun Empire; the Gold and Silver Twins, Derek Dao, and Luke Luo of the Phoenix Dance Empire. These people are all among them!"
Hearing these names, Dominic Su's expression became extremely solemn.
These nine people were the top Experts among the Three Great Empires, each possessing a cultivation at or above the Heaven-Reaching Realm.
Every single one was a powerhouse comparable to the Sect Masters of the Three Great Sects.
Even Emperor Dominic Su wouldn't dare to say he could steadily suppress the nine of them.
"I didn't expect all nine of them to actually come!"
Dominic Su said in a deep voice.
"Besides the nine of them, there are some other Experts, totaling about thirty people," Julian said.
"Are they coming for the Expert?"
"Correct."
Dominic Su snorted coldly.
"How can the Expert of my Heavenly Martial Empire be harassed by these people?"
Julian was startled: "What arrangements does Your Majesty have?"
"Go tell the Three Great Sects to immediately head to Cloud-Drifting Mountain."
"We must also back up the Expert and put up a good front."
"Yes!"
Julian immediately went to send the messages.
Soon.
The Three Great Sects all received the transmission from Emperor Dominic Su.
It wasn't a request.
It was an order!
The Three Great Sects must be present, otherwise they would be punished!
This was a very rare, harsh order from Dominic Su toward the Three Great Sects.
The Sect Masters of the Three Great Sects also realized the severity of the matter and immediately took action.
"The Three Great Empires are truly mad, actually wanting to disrespect the Expert."
At the Mystic Sword Sect, Lance Xu stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze looking toward the direction of Cloud-Drifting Mountain.
"Master, I'm afraid the Expert will be enraged this time," Dustin Lee said with some worry.
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
Lance Xu was a bit curious.
"The Expert cultivates in peace and originally dislikes being disturbed. But this time, the Three Great Empires have brought so many Experts. I'm afraid the Expert won't like so many people going to bother him," Dustin Lee said.
Lance Xu nodded upon hearing this.
"I'm afraid there will be a storm of blood on Cloud-Drifting Mountain."
The next moment, Lance Xu said: "No matter what, we must stand on the Expert's side. Let's set off immediately."
"Yes!"
The same thing also happened at the Nine Soul Sect and the Titan Sect.
The Sect Masters of the Three Great Sects didn't hesitate at all. They immediately dispatched their sect Elders and rushed to Cloud-Drifting Mountain.
Sky-Ruling Valley.
Cosmo Shen was looking at the painting hanging on the wall.
This painting was exactly the one Quinn Ye had given him.
Although he had looked at it for many days.
Cosmo Shen never felt he had looked at it enough.
It seemed that every time he looked at it, he could gain something from it.
"Master! Something happened!"
Just then, Sia Xiao ran in, panting heavily.
"Why are you so impatient? What happened?"
Cosmo Shen frowned and asked.
He felt a bit helpless in his heart.
This disciple of his was good at everything, but her temperament was too impatient; she couldn't settle down at all.
"A big event happened! The million-strong coalition army of the Three Great Empires attacked the Heavenly Martial Empire, but ended up defeated and retreating. The rumor is that the Expert on Cloud-Drifting Mountain took action, leading to the collapse of the million-strong coalition army!"
Sia Xiao said.
Cosmo Shen's pupils shrank.
"Expert Ye took action?"
"He didn't truly take action himself; it was the True Dragon he raises that took action. The True Dragon emerged and annihilated a hundred thousand enemy troops in an instant!"
Sia Xiao said.
"A True Dragon?"
Cosmo Shen's face was full of shock.
When he went to visit Quinn Ye back then, he had also seen the sight of a True Dragon soaring into the sky.
Now it seemed that True Dragon was indeed raised by Quinn Ye.
"Truly worthy of being an Expert. A million-strong army in his eyes is probably just like grass, completely insignificant," Cosmo Shen sighed with emotion.
"But right now, the Experts of the Three Great Empires are all rushing to Cloud-Drifting Mountain," Sia Xiao said hurriedly.
Cosmo Shen's face darkened.
"A bunch of reckless fools!"
"The Three Great Empires are courting death. To actually dare to disturb the Expert's peaceful cultivation, they are truly tired of living!"
Sia Xiao looked at Cosmo Shen with expectation in her eyes.
"Master, are you going to take action?"
Cosmo Shen snorted: "I have received favors from the Expert anyway. Now that the Expert has encountered trouble, naturally I cannot stand by and watch."
"Let's go! We head to Cloud-Drifting Mountain immediately."
"I want to see if these people from the Three Great Empires have eaten the hearts of bears and the gallbladders of leopards. If they really dare to disrespect the Expert, I'll kill them all!"
"Okay!"
Sia Xiao was endlessly excited.
This was a huge spectacle; she absolutely had to join the fun.
Perhaps she could see Quinn Ye's heroic posture when he took action with her own eyes.
That was absolutely not to be missed.
On Cloud-Drifting Mountain.
Quinn Ye had no idea that his place was about to become extremely lively.
At this moment, he moved an Ancient Zither out of the house and placed it in the courtyard.
The ancient zither was covered in dust; it could be seen that it had been left there for a long time.
Seeing the ancient zither, Finn Guo looked puzzled.
"Master, can you play the zither?"
Quinn Ye smiled slightly.
"Of course. There is nothing your Master doesn't know how to do."
"Then do you know how to cultivate?"
"..."
Quinn Ye was directly speechless.
"Except cultivation!"
He emphasized fiercely.
Finn Guo grinned.
However, Quinn Ye really did know how to play the zither.
Under the training of the Sage System, Quinn Ye was proficient in everything: zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
And he had reached an extremely high level of attainment in all of them. He could be called a generation's Grandmaster.
This ancient zither was also a reward Quinn Ye obtained after completing a system trial back then.
He originally thought it was some kind of treasure, but after fiddling with it for a long time, Quinn found it was just a very ordinary ancient zither.
So Quinn was disappointed.
For a long time.
He never used this ancient zither again.
But today.
Having nothing to do, Quinn planned to take this ancient zither out to play with.
In case Finn Guo was also interested, he could teach him how to play.
He's a boy, after all.
If he knows how to play the zither, it will be easier to find a girlfriend in the future.
Wiping the dust off the ancient zither and tuning it for a while, he finally restored the ancient zither to normal.
"I haven't played for so long; I wonder if I'm out of practice?"
Quinn Ye sat behind the ancient zither and placed his hands on the strings.
Finn Guo watched attentively from the side.
Quinn Ye was seen plucking gently.
A melodious zither sound immediately rang out.
Quinn Ye revealed a bit of satisfaction.
"It seems this zither is really not bad. Left for so long, and the sound quality hasn't changed at all."
Quinn Ye continued to pluck the strings.
He didn't play any specific tune, just plucked casually like this.
But even so, the zither sound was still beautiful and moving.
Finn Guo listened from the side and became somewhat entranced.
And at this moment, the Experts of the Three Great Empires, as well as the forces of the Three Great Sects, had all arrived through the air.
"Hm? There's zither music?"
Hearing the zither music, everyone stopped in the sky.
They looked down in unison.
And happened to see Quinn Ye, who was playing the zither.
