Chapter 632: Invading Frost Lily Pavilion
Yu Wenzhao did not act immediately.
Instead, he chose to wait.
The massive fleet remained hidden among the clouds surrounding the Frost Lily Pavilion’s territory.
Countless scouts continuously came and went.
Information flowed in without interruption.
Yet the more reports Yu Wenzhao received, the more confused he became.
There was absolutely nothing.
Even stranger, neither Yu Qingya nor Yu Feiyan made any movements afterward.
It was as though both sides had vanished from the world simultaneously.
Inside the flagship, the atmosphere had gradually become heavy.
Many elders were beginning to grow impatient.
"Your Highness, this cannot continue."
The surrounding experts nodded.
They had mobilized nearly the entirety of their elite forces.
Remaining idle indefinitely was simply unrealistic.
By now, even the Frost Lily Pavilion must have already become aware of their presence.
"Regardless of what happened, the Frost Lily Pavilion is still there. If the Fourth Princess remains inside, then she is still our enemy."
"Even if the Ninth Princess never attacked them, we originally intended to deal with the Frost Lily Pavilion eventually."
His eyes flashed coldly.
"The only difference is that we expected them to be weakened first."
Everyone looked toward Yu Wenzhao.
Meanwhile, Yu Wenzhao stood before the massive map.
His eyes remained fixed upon the Frost Lily Pavilion’s territory.
Truthfully speaking, he disliked this situation.
He preferred certainty.
He preferred understanding every variable before acting.
Yet after an entire day of investigation, he still had no answers.
No matter how many scouts he sent.
The result remained the same.
Yu Feiyan had arrived.
Yu Qingya had remained inside.
Then something happened.
After that, everything became a blank.
Yu Wenzhao slowly narrowed his eyes.
A dangerous light flickered within them.
Eventually, he let out a cold laugh.
"Interesting."
The surrounding experts immediately became attentive.
Yu Wenzhao slowly turned around.
"Since we cannot discover the truth from outside..."
His gaze swept across everyone present.
"Then we’ll uncover it ourselves."
The expressions of numerous elders brightened.
The Heaven Suppression Pavilion’s Earth Immortal smiled faintly.
"Your Highness intends to attack?"
Yu Wenzhao nodded.
"That’s right."
His voice remained calm.
"Whether Yu Feiyan attacked them or not changes very little. The Frost Lily Pavilion was always one of our targets."
Originally, he had hoped to devour both Yu Feiyan and Yu Qingya after they weakened each other.
Unfortunately, things had not unfolded according to his expectations.
However, that did not mean he intended to retreat.
Quite the opposite.
His current strength gave him enormous confidence.
Two Earth Immortals!
Nearly fifteen Immortal Realm experts!
Countless Great Ascension cultivators!
The combined foundations of the Heaven Suppression Pavilion and the Crimson Thunder Palace.
Such a force was already enough to crush most powers within the Desolate Heaven Empire.
Even if the Frost Lily Pavilion remained at full strength, Yu Wenzhao still did not believe he would lose.
At worst, the losses would simply be somewhat greater.
That was all!
The Crimson Thunder Palace’s Earth Immortal immediately laughed.
"Hahaha! That’s more like it."
His eyes shone fiercely.
Although their own prince lost, by contributing to the Third Prince, their position in the future won’t be too low.
"With our current strength, why should we fear them?"
The Heaven Suppression Pavilion experts also nodded one after another.
The confusion from earlier gradually disappeared.
After all, no matter how mysterious the situation appeared, absolute strength remained absolute strength.
Unless the Frost Lily Pavilion suddenly produced several additional Earth Immortal experts, there was no reason for them to fear anything.
Yu Wenzhao slowly raised his hand.
The entire hall immediately fell silent.
His expression became cold.
"Pass down my orders."
Every expert straightened immediately.
"The fleet will advance immediately. We head directly toward the Frost Lily Pavilion."
A powerful aura erupted from Yu Wenzhao’s body.
His robes fluttered violently.
A sharp light flashed through his eyes.
"If Yu Qingya is there, we destroy her."
"If Yu Feiyan is there..."
"We destroy her as well."
A cold smile appeared on his face.
The smile widened.
"This throne war may very well end today."
The surrounding experts immediately became excited.
Indeed, if they could also take Frost Lily Pavilion, then the First Prince won’t have anything against them.
"Your Highness is wise!"
"Hahaha! No matter what schemes they are plotting, they cannot withstand our strength!"
"Today, the Frost Lily Pavilion will fall!"
Soon, the massive fleet began moving once more.
Countless flying ships surged forward.
The clouds split apart.
The heavens trembled.
Like a terrifying storm descending upon the world, the Third Prince’s faction advanced directly toward the Frost Lily Pavilion.
***
The massive fleet soon arrived above the Frost Lily Pavilion.
Thousands of flying ships covered the sky.
The clouds were torn apart.
The sunlight itself seemed blocked by the overwhelming force gathered overhead.
Countless disciples within the Frost Lily Pavilion looked up nervously.
Many of them had never witnessed such a terrifying army before.
The pressure alone was enough to make weaker cultivators struggle to breathe.
At the center of the fleet, Yu Wenzhao stood with his hands clasped behind his back.
His gaze swept across the Frost Lily Pavilion below.
The entire sect was protected by layers of icy formations.
Despite that, compared to Yu Wenzhao’s forces, those formations would not last long.
Yet strangely enough, everything appeared calm.
There was no sign of panic.
No frantic mobilization.
No experts rushing around preparing for war.
It was as though they had already expected his arrival.
That only deepened the unease within Yu Wenzhao’s heart.
However, he quickly suppressed it.
No matter what secrets they were hiding, absolute power would crush them eventually.
Slowly, he stepped forward.
His voice echoed across the heavens.
"Yu Qingya!"
The sound rolled throughout the entire Frost Lily Pavilion.
"I have arrived."
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"Come out and greet me."
Silence!
No one appeared.
The entire Frost Lily Pavilion remained motionless.
Yu Wenzhao frowned.
Several moments passed.
Still nothing.
The Heaven Suppression Pavilion’s Earth Immortal coldly snorted.
"They’re stalling."
"Your Highness, give the order. We can break their mountain gate in less than an hour."
The surrounding experts nodded.
Their patience was also beginning to wear thin.
Meanwhile, Yu Wenzhao’s eyes gradually became colder.
His patience had already been stretched by the strange events of the past few days.
Now even Yu Qingya refused to show herself.
Finally, he slowly raised his hand.
A terrifying aura began gathering around him.
The experts behind him immediately prepared themselves.
The fleet entered combat formation.
It appeared that a full-scale assault would begin at any moment.
However, just as Yu Wenzhao was about to issue the order—
Whoosh!
A figure suddenly appeared above the Frost Lily Pavilion.
The surrounding space rippled slightly.
Then a beautiful woman dressed in icy blue robes stepped forward.
Yu Qingya!
Her expression remained calm.
As though she wasn’t facing the most powerful army remaining in the throne war.
The moment she appeared, Yu Wenzhao’s expression softened slightly.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"So you were here after all."
Yu Qingya merely looked at him quietly.
Neither side spoke for several moments.
Then Yu Wenzhao slowly laughed.
"Qingya. Looking at the situation before us, I believe you should understand reality better than anyone."
He gestured toward the countless flying ships behind him.
The overwhelming force assembled beneath his banner.
Two Earth Immortals.
Nearly fifteen Immortal Realm experts.
A lineup capable of crushing almost anything within the empire.
Yu Wenzhao’s smile widened.
"Surrender!"
His voice echoed clearly across the battlefield.
"There is no point resisting. You know as well as I do that the Frost Lily Pavilion cannot stop me."
His gaze became sharp.
"If you submit now, perhaps I can still show some mercy."
Silence followed.
Yu Qingya remained expressionless.
She neither accepted nor refused.
Her reaction made Yu Wenzhao frown slightly.
Something felt off.
She wasn’t angry.
She wasn’t fearful.
She wasn’t even tense.
Before Yu Wenzhao could continue speaking, another voice suddenly echoed from behind Yu Qingya.
"Third Brother."
The smile on Yu Wenzhao’s face instantly froze.
His pupils contracted violently.
That voice...
Whoosh!
A second figure slowly emerged beside Yu Qingya.
Yu Feiyan!
The entire battlefield instantly fell silent.
Every expert behind Yu Wenzhao froze.
The Heaven Suppression Pavilion elders stared blankly.
The Crimson Thunder Palace experts widened their eyes.
Yu Wenzhao’s expression changed completely.
Yu Feiyan standing beside Yu Qingya?
For several moments, nobody spoke.
The scene before them completely shattered every conclusion they had reached during the past few days.
Yu Wenzhao slowly looked at Yu Qingya.
Then at Yu Feiyan.
Then back again.
His mind raced rapidly.
Countless possibilities flashed through his head.
Finally, he spoke.
His voice was noticeably colder than before.
"What is going on here?"
Neither princess answered immediately.
Yu Feiyan merely smiled faintly.
Meanwhile, Yu Qingya’s calm gaze remained fixed on him.
Seeing the two of them standing together, a terrible feeling suddenly appeared within Yu Wenzhao’s heart.
(Did they perhaps form an alliance?)
He couldn’t help but think so.
But that wasn’t the frightening part.
The frightening part was another possibility.
Could Yu Feiyan’s attack on the Frost Lily Pavilion have been nothing more than a trap designed to lure him here from the very beginning?
