On the street, as Wen Renyu’s body fell, the entire street fell silent!
Wen Renyu!
This was the young marquis of the Marquis’s estate!
And what kind of existence was the Marquis’s estate? The ancestors of the Marquis’s estate were one of the founding heroes who fought alongside the Divine Emperor to establish the nation!
Back then, the Divine Emperor personally issued a decree to reward the Marquis’s ancestor, Wen Ren Tian. The decree stated that as long as the Wen family did not rebel, any crime they committed could be pardoned from death!
And now, someone had actually killed the young marquis of the Wen family!
Moreover, this young marquis was the only son of the Wen family!
This was a huge disaster!
Beside Ye Xuan, An Zuo’s expression was also extremely grim.
Damn it!
How dare this guy kill anyone?
Was he insane?
At this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Lord An Zuo, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and take me to see your Emperor!”
An Zuo said gravely, “Young Master Ye, things have gotten very complicated!”
Ye Xuan said, “So we need to hurry and see your Emperor! Only your Emperor can protect me now, right?”
An Zuo was speechless. So you do know who can protect you!
Without further ado, An Zuo led Ye Xuan toward the imperial palace!
He also knew that only the Emperor could resolve this situation now. He was even starting to fear Ye Xuan! This guy was too reckless! He dared to kill anyone at the slightest provocation, no matter who they were!
Too reckless!
The two hadn’t walked far when suddenly, a hunchbacked old man appeared in front of them. Behind the old man stood ten experts clad in dark armor.
The Wen family!
Seeing the hunchbacked old man, An Zuo hesitated for a moment, then bowed slightly, “Lord Yu Xian!”
Yu Xian!
The steward of the Wen family. However, this was no ordinary steward. He had once been a commander of the imperial guards before leaving the palace to become the steward of the Marquis’s estate.
Yu Xian glanced at An Zuo, then looked at Ye Xuan. Without a word, he charged forward, throwing a punch at Ye Xuan.
As the punch landed, it felt as if a thousand horses were galloping, and an overwhelming force instantly enveloped Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan did not retreat. Instead, he took a step forward and slashed with his sword.
Boom!
A sword light shattered, and Ye Xuan was sent flying hundreds of feet away!
Yu Xian suddenly tapped his toes, and his entire body shot forward like a tiger pouncing on its prey. His fist, carrying immense force, rushed toward Ye Xuan. As the punch landed, the surrounding space-time twisted, forming a vortex!
In the distance, Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes. He took a step forward, and in an instant, a burst of sword light engulfed both him and Yu Xian.
Boom!
The ground trembled violently, and the sword light shattered. Ye Xuan was sent flying another hundred feet, while Yu Xian stopped in his tracks. Just as he was about to attack again, an old man suddenly appeared in front of Ye Xuan.
Seeing the newcomer, An Zuo, who was standing to the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief!
Mu Zuo!
The newcomer was none other than the current Divine Prime Minister, Mu Zuo, a man of immense prestige and authority within the Divine Dao Nation!
Seeing Mu Zuo, Yu Xian did not attack again. Instead, he bowed slightly, “Prime Minister!”
Mu Zuo turned to look at Ye Xuan, then at Yu Xian, “The Emperor has summoned him. Any matters will be discussed after the Emperor has seen him!”
Yu Xian said gravely, “Prime Minister, Young Master Yu is dead!”
Mu Zuo frowned, “I said it already! The Emperor has summoned him!”
Yu Xian’s expression darkened.
Just then, a coughing sound suddenly rang out in the distance. Everyone turned to look and saw a beautiful woman walking slowly toward them.
Seeing the woman, Mu Zuo’s expression turned grim.
Yu Xian and the others quickly went to greet her, then knelt down in unison, “Greetings, Madam!”
The woman was none other than Situ Jing, the current head of the Marquis’s estate.
Situ Jing walked slowly up to Mu Zuo. Mu Zuo hesitated for a moment, then bowed slightly, “Madam!”
Situ Jing smiled lightly, “This old woman knows that the Marquis’s estate is no longer what it used to be. In terms of power, we are indeed no match for you, Prime Minister! However, the Marquis’s estate is not to be bullied at will!”
As she spoke, she lightly tapped her cane on the ground.
Boom!
The ground cracked, and in the next moment, hundreds of shadowy figures suddenly emerged from all directions!
The Marquis’s Guards!
Seeing this, Mu Zuo’s expression turned grim. The Marquis’s Guards were the personal troops of the Marquis’s estate, and their combat power was at least at the Divine Body Realm!
At this moment, a group of mysterious experts suddenly appeared around Mu Zuo. There were only sixteen of them, but all of them were at the Divine Soul Realm!
These were Mu Zuo’s personal guards!
The atmosphere in the area instantly became tense!
Situ Jing looked at Mu Zuo, “Prime Minister, the Marquis’s estate has no grievances with you, nor have we ever thought of opposing you! Today, the Marquis’s estate simply seeks justice!”
Mu Zuo shook his head, “Madam, he is someone the Emperor wishes to see!”
Situ Jing glanced at Ye Xuan, “Why does the Emperor wish to see him?”
Mu Zuo shook his head, “I do not know.”
Situ Jing stared directly at Mu Zuo, “He killed Yu’er!”
Mu Zuo said gravely, “Madam, let the Emperor see him first, alright?”
Situ Jing fell silent.
Meanwhile, the experts from the Marquis’s estate all stared fiercely at Ye Xuan. As soon as Situ Jing gave the order, they would swarm him!
At this moment, Situ Jing suddenly said, “Since the Emperor wishes to see him, then let the Emperor see him first!”
Hearing this, Mu Zuo’s expression relaxed slightly. He nodded, then turned to Ye Xuan, “Young Master Ye, please follow me.”
With that, he turned and left.
Ye Xuan sheathed his sword and followed.
Just then, Situ Jing suddenly called out, “Young man!”
Ye Xuan turned to look at Situ Jing, who stared at him fiercely, “No matter how powerful your background is, the Marquis’s estate will have your head!”
Ye Xuan walked up to Situ Jing. At this moment, Mu Zuo frowned, “Young Master Ye, don’t cause trouble!”
Ye Xuan suddenly smiled, “Lord Mu Zuo, didn’t you see that she was the one threatening me first?”
Mu Zuo’s expression turned cold, “Young Master Ye, if you cause trouble, no one can protect you!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “I’m causing trouble? How laughable! As soon as I entered this city, the people from the Marquis’s estate came to bully me. What, is it only allowed for the Marquis’s estate to bully others, but not for others to bully the Marquis’s estate? Or is it that the laws of the Divine Dao Nation only target the weak and fear the strong?”
Mu Zuo stared at Ye Xuan, “Young Master Ye, watch your words!”
Ye Xuan chuckled, “Alright, alright, I’ll watch my words. Lord Mu Zuo, let’s go! Take me to see your Emperor!”
With that, he walked off into the distance.
Mu Zuo glanced at Ye Xuan, then followed.
After Ye Xuan and Mu Zuo disappeared into the distance, Situ Jing suddenly said, “Spread the word! Let everyone know about this person killing the Holy Maiden and Yu’er!”
Yu Xian nodded, “Understood!”
As he spoke, his expression became somewhat solemn. He knew that the Madam wanted to control the narrative first! And why control the narrative? Because the other party was not simple!
At this moment, Situ Jing added, “Why did Yu’er suddenly come to cause trouble for this person?”
A Marquis’s estate expert said gravely, “Madam, someone informed the young master that the Holy Maiden had been killed by that young man! That’s why the young master came to confront him…”
Situ Jing’s expression turned grim, “It was Spirit Mountain, wasn’t it?”
The expert nodded.
Situ Jing slowly closed her eyes, her expression icy, “Spirit Mountain, how dare you use the Marquis’s estate!”
She knew that the Marquis’s estate had been used by Spirit Mountain!
The expert said gravely, “Madam, that young man’s background is likely not simple!”
Situ Jing’s expression was cold, “Someone who dares to kill a princess of the Divine Dao Nation is no ordinary person! However, no matter who he is, the Marquis’s estate will take his head to avenge Yu’er’s spirit in heaven!”
With that, she turned and left.
Not long after, the entire Marquis’s estate began to mobilize. The influence of the Marquis’s estate in the Divine Dao Nation was no joke. In no time, countless officials within the Divine Dao Nation had set off for the imperial palace, ready to petition the Emperor!
Meanwhile, Ye Xuan and Mu Zuo had already arrived at the entrance of the imperial palace’s main hall. Mu Zuo turned to Ye Xuan, “Young Master Ye, do you know the proper etiquette?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Are you saying that I need to bow when I see your Emperor?”
Mu Zuo said gravely, “Young Master Ye, only the Emperor can protect you!”
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “My sword is in your Emperor’s hands, isn’t it?”
He had already sensed the Qingxuan Sword! It was inside this hall!
Mu Zuo nodded, “Yes!”
Ye Xuan chuckled, then walked into the hall. Inside the hall, there was only one person—Divine Dao Ling.
Seeing Ye Xuan enter, Divine Dao Ling put down a memorial in her hand. She smiled and pointed at the pile of memorials in front of her, “There are a total of one thousand two hundred and eighty memorials here, all demanding your immediate execution!”
As she spoke, she walked slowly up to Ye Xuan and looked directly at him, “Young man, I know you’re not simple, but you’ve gone too far. First, you killed a princess of the Divine Dao Nation, and then you killed the young marquis of the Marquis’s estate. Moreover, you left no room for negotiation. You’ve acted so ruthlessly that even if I wanted to protect you, I couldn’t!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “I didn’t provoke your people first!”
Divine Dao Ling blinked, “Does that matter? No! You should understand that so-called justice is built on the foundation of strength. If you have no strength, arguing about justice is just humiliating yourself.”
Ye Xuan chuckled softly, “I understand!”
Divine Dao Ling smiled, “Then tell me, how do you plan to survive?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “You should know better than me, don’t you?”
Divine Dao Ling opened her palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared in her hand. She looked at Ye Xuan and smiled, “Who is the person who forged this sword to you?”
Ye Xuan answered honestly, “My sister.”
“Your sister?”
Divine Dao Ling’s lips curled into a smile, “She is the one behind you, the reason you’re so bold, isn’t she?”
Ye Xuan looked at Divine Dao Ling, “What do you want to do?”
Divine Dao Ling smiled faintly, “Young Master Ye, whether you live or die depends on how strong the person who forged this sword is!”
As she spoke, she exerted a slight force with her right hand, and a mysterious power suddenly surged into the Qingxuan Sword.
Boom!
The Qingxuan Sword trembled violently, and the space-time in front of her twisted. Moments later, Divine Dao Ling looked up. After a few breaths, she smiled, “Young Master Ye, I’ve sensed the person who forged this sword!”
As soon as she finished speaking, her body suddenly became illusory. In the next moment, her projection traversed countless layers of space-time and arrived in an unknown star domain. Not far away, a woman in a plain dress stood quietly. In front of her, tens of thousands of mysterious experts knelt, their bodies trembling with fear.
At this moment, the woman in the plain dress turned to look at Divine Dao Ling, “Do you need something?”
Divine Dao Ling smiled faintly, “I am the ruler of the Divine Dao Nation. Your brother’s life or death is in my hands!”
“Hmm? The Divine Dao Nation?”
The woman in the plain dress raised an eyebrow. She opened her right hand, and the **Xing Dao Sword** appeared in her palm, “Point me in the right direction!”
