Chapter 241: Chapter 240: Entering the Imperial Palace"Take me to see your ancestor," Ye Xuan said straightforwardly. "Hmm?" Lu Jingfei and the white-robed elder were slightly startled, not expecting Ye Xuan to say that. However, Hua Yunfei was not surprised and he slightly bowed and said, "Let’s go." He was very clear that he had no room to argue. They were all well aware of Ye Xuan’s strength. Given the power Ye Xuan had just displayed, even if their ancestor, Hua Tianqiong, were to come here, he would probably only have one path—to death. The ancestor from Ancient Yun Upper Country, in terms of strength, was even a bit stronger than Hua Tianqiong. Yet, even such a being had died at the hands of Ye Xuan. That is to say, even if Hua Tianqiong were to come, he definitely wouldn’t be a match for Ye Xuan. Therefore, when Ye Xuan asked Hua Yunfei to take him to see Hua Tianqiong, they did not dare to refuse. They were very clear that, with their strength, to refuse Ye Xuan now, was to seek death. "Young Master Ye’s strength truly broadens our horizons," the white-robed elder could not help but compliment. Lu Jingfei was also quietly sizing up Ye Xuan. Although they had long heard of Ye Xuan, the son-in-law of the Emperor Immortal Sect, this was the first time they truly saw Ye Xuan demonstrate his formidable power. He was indeed nothing like the rumors. Terribly strong. Previously, some compared Leng Yifan with Ye Xuan. Back then, no one thought Ye Xuan could compare to Leng Yifan. Even Lu Jingfei, the white-robed elder, and everyone else thought so at that time. Because Leng Yifan had already shown extremely strong talent and his strength was also very terrifying; he had even stepped into the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm at a young age. But now, the strength that Ye Xuan displayed was enough to instantly kill a Heavenly Phenomenon. Who would now say that Ye Xuan is inferior to Leng Yifan? Truly speaking, Leng Yifan is probably not even fit to carry Ye Xuan’s shoes. The two are not at the same level at all. Ye Xuan did not pay attention to the white-robed elder’s compliments and gestured for Lu Jingfei to lead the way. This place was a long distance from the Imperial City of Lie Tian Upper Country; naturally, they couldn’t get there by walking. Lu Jingfei did not hesitate and summoned a Flying Boat, having everyone board the boat, fill it with Spirit Stones, and set off toward the Imperial City of Lie Tian Upper Country. This made the people of the Emperor Immortal Sect tense up again. The eldest brother was actually going to actively seek out the ancestor of the Lie Tian Upper Country?! Sёarch* The NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Was he going to kill Hua Tianqiong? They didn’t know what Ye Xuan was thinking, but just going to meet the ancestor of the Lie Tian Upper Country was a very bold act. However, all of this seemed quite ordinary to Ye Xuan. It wasn’t a big deal to him. Indeed, for Ye Xuan, what was the ancestor of an Upper Country? At most, he was just an old fellow who lived for a few thousand to ten thousand years. And Ye Xuan, when truly counted, had already lived for endless ages. In the eyes of others, an ancestor of an Upper Country was certainly a legendary existence, beyond reach. And facing such an existence, it certainly required tremendous courage. But in Ye Xuan’s eyes, it was nothing more than that. On the Flying Boat, no one spoke; everyone just quietly stayed in their places. No one knew what Ye Xuan was going to do with Hua Tianqiong. Even Hua Yunfei didn’t know, but he could guess that it was definitely not something good. Before the opening of the Golden Pond, with the matter of Huang Jingtian, Ye Xuan had once mentioned to him that he would find Hua Tianqiong after the end of the Golden Pond. At that time, he just thought that Ye Xuan was merely saying some harsh words casually. But now, it seemed that Ye Xuan was not just saying harsh words, but the truth! Especially after seeing Ye Xuan today, he even worried whether his own ancestor could withstand Ye Xuan’s pressure. But let’s not talk about that for now. Speaking of Ancient Yun Upper Country. Ancient Yun Upper Country was one of the most powerful forces within a hundred thousand miles of the Azure Mountain Range. Their power was second only to Xuanmo Cave, Smoke Mist Mountain, and the Sacred Land of Cultivation – these three major cultivation lands. They held the title of the strongest Upper Country within the Azure Mountain Range. In this Azure Mountain Range, aside from Ancient Yun Upper Country, there were also Sky Wind Upper Country, Lie Tian Upper Country, among five Upper Countries. In total, there were six Upper Countries, with Ancient Yun Upper Country being the strongest. Lie Tian Heavenly Country was the weakest. Its heritage was also very ancient, though not as ancient as Lie Tian Heavenly Country, it ranked second, even older than the three Great Cultivation Sacred Lands. The entire Ancient Yun Shang Country was powerful and well-equipped, its might surpassing all within its dominion, and those Sect Sacred Lands within their territory all needed to pay tribute to it. From this, one can see the power of Ancient Yun Shang Country. The Emperor of Ancient Yun Shang Country was also a top-level powerful figure, well-known within a hundred thousand miles. But at this moment, inside the Inner Hall of the Imperial Palace of Ancient Yun Shang Country, the Emperor of Ancient Yun Shang Country looked very unpleasant, with a gloomy look in his eyes, completely lacking his usual domineering aura. "Ancestor Zuyao is dead!" The Emperor’s face of Ancient Yun Shang Country turned extremely ugly! He had received definite news that his second son, Liu Tianyi, his illegitimate son Liu Tianhao, the Tributor Wind and Thunder Hand Nie Shan sent to Emperor Immortal Sect, along with two other Tributors and a high-level Expert of the Imperial Family, all were dead. Afterward, the ancestor came out from seclusion, arriving at Golden Pond to kill the people of Emperor Immortal Sect. This should have been an infallible mission. But just now, he received news from the Life Record Palace. Ancestor Liu Zuyao was dead! The Life Scroll was completely shattered, devoid of any radiance. This indicated that the ancestor was thoroughly dead, without leaving even a trace of vitality. How could he accept this fact?! "Who exactly did Emperor Immortal Sect send to escort, that even Ancestor Zuyao couldn’t stop?!" At this moment, the Emperor of Ancient Yun Shang Country was somewhat agitated. "We must have Ancestor Zubo come out of seclusion now!" Ancient Yun Shang Country doesn’t just have one ancestor. Liu Zuyao was indeed the one who had been killed by Ye Xuan. While Liu Zubo was Liu Zuyao’s elder brother and also an ancestor of Ancient Yun Shang Country. However, at this moment, Liu Zubo was in deep slumber, in closed-door cultivation. Ninety thousand years ago, when the Double Emperors ascended to the pinnacle, they caused the nature’s spiritual energy to be depleted. Daozhou Land ushered in the End of Dharma Era. This is precisely why there were so few emerging Great Cultivators. Many powerful beings chose to put themselves into slumber, prolonging their lives and waiting for a better era to emerge. Every ancestor-level figure was a top pillar of a major force and also an existence that deterred the lesser beings. They might be in slumber, but they still made people immensely wary. If people found out that an ancestor of Ancient Yun Shang Country had fallen, it would probably shock the world. However, the Emperor was not considering this point. He took into account how dreadful Emperor Immortal Sect was. Since they could kill Ancestor Liu Zuyao, it indicated that their power was extremely terrifying. If they were to come to Ancient Yun Shang Country, it would be a catastrophic disaster. Therefore, it was imperative to awaken Ancestor Liu Zubo. Matters of revenge could wait, but stabilizing Ancient Yun Shang Country was paramount! He wasn’t aware that Ye Xuan, who had killed Liu Zuyao, wasn’t yet ready to move against Ancient Yun Shang Country, but had instead headed to Lie Tian Heavenly Country. After an hour of flying, they finally arrived at the Imperial City. Under the guidance of Hua Yunfei, they entered the Imperial Palace unimpeded. "Is this the Imperial Palace of Lie Tian Heavenly Country..." Zhu Xiaofei and the others closely followed Ye Xuan, looking around curiously. This was their first time entering an Imperial Palace, despite how old they were. It must be said that the Imperial Palace of Lie Tian Heavenly Country was also built very luxuriously, majestic and breathtaking, inspiring awe in the beholder. "Brother Ye Xuan, before seeking the ancestor, we must first report to the emperor. Let’s wait in the side hall," Hua Yunfei lead everyone to a side hall in the Imperial Palace and spoke to Ye Xuan with a bow. "Do not play tricks in front of me, or you won’t be able to bear the consequences," Ye Xuan glanced at Hua Yunfei coldly and spoke lightly. "Of course." Hua Yunfei’s heart trembled slightly as he responded with a bow. Soon, Hua Yunfei went personally to report to the emperor. Ye Xuan and the others stayed in the side hall waiting. "Brother-in-law, are we being too arrogant just barging into someone’s home like this?" Zhou Bingyi spoke softly. Truth be told, they all felt very nervous at the moment. After all, this was the Imperial Palace of Lie Tian Heavenly Country, and the relationship between Emperor Immortal Sect and Lie Tian Heavenly Country was quite tense. "Not flattening their Imperial Palace is already being quite generous," Ye Xuan sat on a chair and said with a smile.
