"Yes!"

In the center of Cloud City, figures flew in from the sky, surrounding the 'Demon-Sealing Ground Inn' nestled between several tall buildings.
Wu Wang immediately pressed himself against the small window, instinctively taking out a small bronze mirror to look outside through the crack in the door.
After a moment, he realized that this was not a military exercise from his past life.
"I've been too nervous lately."
Amused in his heart, Wu Wang extended his divine sense to investigate outside.
A large group of elite soldiers from the Feathered People's Republic had arrived outside, led by the female general who had previously intercepted them outside the city.
"Everyone, everyone!"
The old man, Xue Ying, immediately appeared and shouted at the outside:
"What are you doing! I'm doing business here in Cloud City, and we always follow the rules set by your Feathered People's Republic!"
"Xue Ying, we received information that there is a spy from the Human Realm hiding here. Please cooperate with our search," the female general said with a hint of meaning in her eyes.
"A spy? We have hundreds or thousands of guests from the Human Realm every year. How did they become spies!" Xue Ying coldly snorted. "If you continue like this, don't blame me for asking whether your Feathered People's Republic can still fulfill the promises made to guests from all directions!"
The female general showed a hint of urgency, and her wings flashed as she quickly landed in front of Xue Ying, signaling to him frantically.
"What's wrong?" Xue Ying lightly stroked his beard, but he understood the look in the eyes of the female general and said calmly, "If you want to search this place, you can, but don't disturb the guests here!"
Wu Wang also found it amusing. How can you find a spy without searching the guests?
But unexpectedly, the female general immediately nodded, and her long, wavy hair swayed back and forth as she said, "Of course."
Wu Wang: ...
Xue Ying snorted a few times and reluctantly opened the door.
A group of Feathered People's Republic guards rushed in, and the female general gestured for Xue Ying to enter, slowly closing the two heavy stone doors that had been open year-round at the Demon-Sealing Ground Inn.
With a muffled bang, it attracted the attention of many creatures.
Wu Wang thought for a moment, preparing to escape at any time.
His mother had just reminded him that Junior Deity of Lifespan was nearby, and now the Feathered People's Republic had come to cause trouble...
Is it time for battle? Time to stir up trouble?
He thought for a moment and remained calm, waiting for the situation to change.
"Yan Shao... Chi Xia? Chi Xia, are you here?" the voice of Three Delicacies Taoist came from outside the door. Wu Wang's eyes flickered a few times and he went to open the wooden door, looking at Three Delicacies Taoist with some seriousness.
The latter took a step forward, held Wu Wang's hand, and transmitted his voice: "Don't speak through the crack, or you'll be heard by a master. The Feathered People's Republic has a method to enhance their hearing."
Wu Wang immediately nodded and asked through voice transmission, "What's going on?"
"I don't know the specifics yet."
Three Delicacies Taoist flashed into the room, closed the door, and pulled Wu Wang's arm, saying, "Next, call me 'uncle' and I'll call you 'nephew.' I've been to Cloud City many times and have had contact with the Feathered People's Republic, so this is a cover."
"Thank you, uncle," Wu Wang replied through voice transmission, and the two sat quietly at the table, looking calm.
A moment later, they heard some hurried footsteps outside the door, and saw more than ten elite guards from the Feathered People's Republic arrive.
They were not used to walking, accustomed to flying, but they couldn't spread their wings in the corridor.
"Auntie Three Delicacies, is Xue Ying asking for you and your nephew to come over for an important discussion," a Feathered People's Republic woman said.
Three Delicacies and Wu Wang exchanged a glance.
Wu Wang wanted to see a hint of evasion in Three Delicacies Taoist's eyes, but what he saw was a pair of old eyes with a hint of confusion and incomprehension.
Then, Three Delicacies Taoist pressed Wu Wang's wrist and transmitted his voice: "Don't worry, Xue Ying will never betray the Human Realm."
Wu Wang nodded slightly and stood up with Three Delicacies Taoist, walking out with the group of Feathered People, heading straight to the top-floor private room.
Before entering, Wu Wang's heart trembled slightly as he sensed a familiar Dao rhyme, and his whole body's hair stood on end!
Junior Deity of Lifespan!
No, it's Junior Deity of Lifespan investigating this place.
She had used a bit of Dao power to break through the formation here, which allowed Wu Wang to catch a trace of her presence.
Wu Wang looked at Three Delicacies Taoist and gained a new appreciation for the 'Shallow Five Elements Great Formation.'
The door was pushed open, the formation in this place was temporarily closed, and the two were led inside. Wu Wang saw the array inside and immediately understood what was going on.
Dozens of guards stood against the wall, and the female general was standing to the side.
Xue Ying sat behind the desk, and in front of him sat a woman with long, light blue hair cascading down like a waterfall, and a pair of faintly shimmering thin wings.The Three Delicacies Taoist was afraid that Wu Wang would not recognize it, and deliberately called out:
"Ah, it turns out to be the bloodline of the royal family of the Feathered People Kingdom!"
Wu Wang almost laughed out loud.
Junior Deity of Lifespan, should be staring at the royal family of the Feathered People Kingdom.
The woman turned her head and looked over, her small face was delicate and lovely, with slightly sunken eye sockets and a small nose, giving her features a unique beauty.
Especially the eyes of the royal family of the Feathered People Kingdom, like sapphires, left a slight impression on Wu Wang.
"I will introduce His Highness," the Snow Eagle Elder rubbed his hands, and even omitted the self-proclaimed 'old man'.
He smiled and said:
"This is my close friend and relative, Sanxian. This is Sanxian's nephew, Yan Chixia.
They are both my most trusted friends and can testify for His Highness. In the future, I can't go out and say it without evidence, and no one will believe it."
The royal family woman spoke, like a melodious songbird, her voice was quite agile.
"Well, Uncle Snow Eagle has indeed considered it thoughtfully."
The Snow Eagle Elder raised his hand and brought over two chairs, placing them on his right side.
The Three Delicacies Taoist and Wu Wang both bowed and went to the side of the Snow Eagle Elder, each sitting down.
Wu Wang noticed that the woman of the royal family was sitting on a stool.
Of course, with armrests and a backrest, her thin light blue wings couldn't be folded or spread out, so she couldn't sit steadily.
She said, "I am the youngest daughter of the ruler of the Feathered People Kingdom, and also the most useless member of the royal family. According to the naming conventions of the Human Realm, my name should be called Yu Fenman. You can call me that.
Today I came here because of myself, not on behalf of the Feathered People Kingdom."
The Snow Eagle Elder frowned and nodded, asking, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"
"Uncle Snow Eagle..."
"Don't be polite, don't be polite," the Snow Eagle Elder waved his hand repeatedly.
Yu Fenman said, "City Lord Yu Lan is my third uncle. He and Uncle Snow Eagle are of the same generation and have been friends for many years. I should call him that way."
"Well, hehe," the Snow Eagle Elder looked at Wu Wang and the Three Delicacies Taoist, "this makes me, cough, a little embarrassed.
Let's talk about business. I like to get straight to the point, so let's not beat around the bush."
The princess of the Feathered People Kingdom whispered, "I came to ask Uncle Snow Eagle if he knows anyone from the Four Seas Pavilion in the Human Realm?"
The three people present all leaned back slightly.
Isn't this coming?
The Three Delicacies Taoist pondered for a moment and asked, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
"As far as I know, in the southeastern region of the Human Realm, as long as they have some reputation and power, they can contact people from the Four Seas Pavilion."
The girl's eyes were full of sincerity as she said softly:
"Uncle Snow Eagle is a master recommended by my third uncle, with a gentle temperament and sincere treatment of others. He has been with our Feathered People Kingdom for many years and has not overstepped any boundaries. Everyone thinks that Uncle Snow Eagle is a trustworthy person.
So, I came here to ask Uncle Snow Eagle to be a bridge for us to communicate with the Human Realm and express some goodwill on our behalf."
"This..."
The Snow Eagle Elder couldn't help but ponder.
Wu Wang spoke, "There is a question that I don't know if the princess has considered. We are just businessmen, doing business and making some money for our daily expenses.
If we get involved in these matters, we will no longer be just simple businessmen.
With so many powerful people here at the moment... aren't we jumping into the fire pit?"
The girl pursed her lips slightly, looking pitiful.
She looked at Wu Wang and said softly:
"We also know that this will involve all of you, but we really...
Now the gods of the Heavenly Palace are in the Cloud City. Their orders must be obeyed, and we can only continue to increase our troops here.
In fact, we have long wanted to give up the Cloud City and leave this place of trouble.
There may be a major war between the Human Realm and the Heavenly Palace here, and our Feathered People Kingdom is weak and may become dust within it."
Wu Wang nodded slightly in his heart.
The ruler of the Feathered People Kingdom is not stupid and has a certain grasp of the situation.
Now, the experts of the Human Realm are openly and secretly approaching the Cloud City, causing some panic in the Feathered People Kingdom, leading to today's situation.
The Snow Eagle Elder asked, "So, how do you plan to show goodwill to the Human Realm?"
"Alas, we haven't come up with a result at the moment."
The girl sighed and said:
"At first, we just thought that the Human Realm would not come to rescue a member of a declining family.
But according to our current investigation, the Human Realm has surrounded the Cloud City and is constantly approaching this place.
They should be taking advantage of the situation and directly confronting the gods of the Heavenly Palace. The southeastern region is the farthest from the Heavenly Palace and is separated by the Human Realm, so the support from the Human Realm is definitely faster than that of the Heavenly Palace. This should be the main reason why the experts of the Human Realm are taking action against the gods of the Heavenly Palace.
Our Feathered People Kingdom is really an innocent victim, and I don't know why we were chosen by the Heavenly Palace to place Lin Qi here.
If possible, please ask Uncle Snow Eagle to help us contact the Four Seas Pavilion of the Human Realm..."
Wu Wang said, "The gods of the Heavenly Palace may not necessarily lose."
"What does it matter who wins or loses?"The young girl whispered, "We have prepared ourselves for the great battle, ready to suffer the loss of more than half of our people. But what's most unbearable is the situation of our Featherfolk Nation after the gods of the Heavenly Palace leave.
The southeast region is the backyard of the Human Realm.
The retaliation from the Lin family alone is enough to cripple us.
If the Human Realm wins this war, there is still hope for the Featherfolk Nation to survive. At worst, we could pay tribute to the Human Realm and live on our knees for the sake of survival.
But if the Heavenly Palace wins, the Human Realm will suffer heavy losses, and countless angry cultivators from the Human Realm will tear our Featherfolk to shreds.
The Heavenly Palace aims to wear down the combat power of the Human Realm and will not stay here for too long."
Hearing this, Wu Wang felt a pang of sympathy.
Indeed, the Featherfolk Nation was now seen as a force on the side of the Heavenly Palace, but the Heavenly Palace would not place too many innate Sky Gods in the southeast region.
For the Featherfolk Nation, this was indeed a big problem.
Wu Wang then realized that this little princess of the Featherfolk seemed to possess a strong 'power of sympathy', and he subconsciously began to see the problem from her perspective.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of sniffing from the side. Wu Wang turned his head and saw the Three Delicacies Taoist with tears in his eyes.
The old Taoist sighed, "In the struggle between great powers, it is indeed the smaller forces that die. The plight of the Featherfolk Nation truly needs to be known by the Human Realm."
Wu Wang said, "Actually, this situation is almost unsolvable. If a great war breaks out later, as long as the Featherfolk Nation has the blood of Human Realm cultivators on their hands, the Human Realm will remember this hatred.
We can't say that because the Featherfolk Nation had no choice but to submit to the Heavenly Palace, they should be seen as allies.
To avoid being held accountable, they must maintain absolute neutrality."
The little princess looked at Wu Wang with curiosity and asked softly, "Your words make sense, but how can we achieve absolute neutrality?
If we lay down our weapons now, we will only incur the wrath of the Heavenly Palace.
For the gods to destroy us, they only need a tremor of the Great Dao."
The Elder Snow Eagle lamented, "There really are such difficult matters in the world, truly sigh-inducing."
Wu Wang was also silent.
Although he had thought of three or four methods, these methods would cause certain losses to the Human Realm; he couldn't just turn his back on them.
Unable to walk away when he sees a woman in distress? That's not the case.
He is a serious master of the Punishment Hall, and his current life goal is to hold a woman's hand without fainting.
Wu Wang said, "Uncle Snow Eagle, I'm afraid we are powerless to help in this matter."
"Alas," the Elder Snow Eagle also knew the importance of the situation and did not promise anything to the little princess. He sighed, "I can only do my best and see if I can contact someone from the Four Seas Pavilion.
For the sake of many years of friendship, taking this risk is not a big deal.
But I really can't guarantee that I can secure a promise from the Human Realm for you... I am just a Heavenly Immortal, and moreover, I make my living outside the Human Realm, so my influence on the Human Realm is truly limited."
The little princess's sapphire-like eyes gradually dimmed.
She murmured softly, "Must we really endure such a disaster?"
Wu Wang shook his head inwardly.
As a pawn on the chessboard, the Featherfolk Nation actually had no room for choice.
The blame could only be placed on the innate... god... who initially chose the City Above the Clouds as Lin Qi's place of confinement.
"I can help you."
A soft call, and a little white light began to condense in the center of the room.
The guards around spread their wings and grasped their weapons, as surges of vital energy rose.
The Elder Snow Eagle appeared in front of the Featherfolk Nation's little princess in a flash, holding two iron hammers, staring down the newcomer with a fierce gaze.
Another person appeared in front of Wu Wang.
The Three Delicacies Taoist spread his arms to protect Wu Wang, his body trembling slightly. This Ascending to Immortality realm Taoist was the first to shout, "It's... it's the Junior Deity of Lifespan! Everyone run!"
As soon as the old Taoist's words fell, the white light suddenly surged, and the cosmos of the place was instantly sealed.
Tap, tap...
The sound of hard wooden clogs echoed on the ground as a figure slowly emerged from the white light, surrounded by divine radiance. The white dress and long hair fluttered slightly, making even the little princess seem dull in comparison.
The Heavenly Palace, the Junior Deity of Lifespan!
