157: Empress Su Su

One month later.

Outside the World Barrier of the Five Evolutions Supreme World.

The Void Realm vibrated, and a figure wearing star-patterned Taoist robes suddenly stopped.

It was precisely the Sect Master of the Burial Sword Sect—Ye Ting.

His originally gloomy and angry expression suddenly froze the moment he saw the world before him; his pupils shrank violently, and he gasped.

"This... this is the aura of a Supreme World?!"

As the Sect Master of the Burial Sword Sect, he was well-versed and naturally sensed that the completeness of the Dao, the vastness of the Origin, and the purity of the Immortal Qi permeating this world far exceeded the scope of the Major Thousand Worlds he knew!

This was clearly the embryonic form of a legendary Supreme World—no, it was a true Supreme World.

"How is it possible? The Myriad Laws Star Domain can actually give birth to a second Supreme World?"

Ye Ting's mind shook violently; the anger and killing intent that had surged due to Chu Sheng's matter stagnated a bit under this shock.

But he soon remembered the purpose of his trip, and his gaze became sharp again.

He sensed Ye Lian's aura; it was inside that magnificent Immortal City in the center of this world!

"No matter who you are, if you dare to kill a Peak Master of my sect and abduct Ye Ting's sister, you must pay a heavy price!"

Ye Ting snorted coldly, his body turning into a streak of sword light that tore through the Void Realm, ignoring the World Barrier and rushing straight toward Taiyan Immortal City!

At the same time.

Inside the Taiyan Imperial Garden.

Exotic flowers were in full bloom, immortal mist swirled, and immortal springs tinkled.

Di Yan, dressed in blue casual clothes, strolled along the winding path with his hands behind his back.

By his side followed several concubines of peerless beauty.

Ye Lian wore a light green palace dress, her brow carrying a charming charm after being nourished.

She was half a step behind Di Yan, her gaze occasionally sweeping over the scenery in the garden with a bit of novelty.

Di Yunshu, in a magnificent palace dress, walked on the other side of Di Yan, her eyes full of charm and a smile on her lips.

Mu Xuanyin wore a water-blue long dress, her temperament gentle; having recently given birth, her figure was slightly plump, adding a touch of mature charm.

If she could wear professional attire, she would be at the goddess level.

Ming Yueyao, in a dark long dress, had a cold and elegant face and followed silently.

Among these women, there was a new face.

Liu Susu, the Reincarnation of Empress Taisu.

She walked beside Mu Xuanyin, her figure light, her face overflowing with joy and a trace of imperceptible tension.

She gently pulled Mu Xuanyin's sleeve, her voice soft and sweet: "Sister Xuanyin, when you were about to give birth, was there anything special I should pay attention to? I'm always a bit unsure in my heart."

Mu Xuanyin smiled gently and patted Liu Susu's hand: "Sister Susu, don't be nervous."

"If there's anything to note, it's to keep a peaceful state of mind, don't get angry easily, take the Fetal-soothing Immortal Dew prepared by Your Majesty's orders on time, walk more in this garden full of Immortal Qi, and talk to the child in your womb; these are all very good."

"There's no need to be afraid during childbirth; with Your Majesty here, everything will go smoothly."

As she spoke, her eyes were filled with tenderness as she looked at Di Yan's back ahead.

Di Yunshu also came over and smiled: "Yes, Susu, just relax. Which of us sisters hasn't gone through this? We'll all be there with you then."

Liu Susu felt warm in her heart and was about to nod in thanks.

Suddenly, Ye Lian, who was walking beside Di Yan, paused, her cold eyes looking up toward the distant sky outside the Immortal Court, her expression changing slightly.

She clearly sensed a familiar aura rapidly approaching the Taiyan Immortal Court without any concealment!

The Sword Intent and pressure contained in that aura allowed her to instantly confirm the visitor's identity.

"Your Majesty!" Ye Lian turned to Di Yan. "It's my elder brother, Ye Ting, who has come."

Di Yan didn't stop, his expression calm.

He naturally knew that the elder brother Ye Lian spoke of was precisely the current Sect Master of the Burial Sword Sect, Ye Ting.

Before Chu Sheng perished, he ultimately sent a sliver of information back to the Burial Sword Sect.

Unfortunately, before he left the Myriad Laws Star Realm, Xuanyuan Che had not yet arrived there to read the imperial edict.

And when Long Yin and the others arrived at the Five Evolutions Supreme World, Ye Ting had not yet arrived.

This resulted in him knowing nothing about the fact that the current Dynasty was no longer the Dynasty of the past.

Otherwise, he would never have approached this place so arrogantly.

The next moment.

Outside Taiyan Immortal City, an earth-shaking shout filled with monstrous rage rang out:

"Di Yan! Get out here for this seat!"

The sound waves rolled, shaking the Immortal City's defensive array until its brilliance flowed and it buzzed!

"For killing my sect's Peak Master and deceiving my sister, this seat will make your Taiyan Immortal Court pay in blood today!"

It was precisely Ye Ting's voice, arrogant and domineering, filled with killing intent!

In the Imperial Garden, the women had different expressions.

Di Yunshu curled her lips and said disdainfully, "Noisy."

Ming Yueyao frowned slightly and lightly stroked her abdomen.

Mu Xuanyin and Liu Susu looked at Di Yan, waiting for his reaction.

Di Yan didn't look back toward the direction outside the city, but merely sent a faint voice transmission:

"Kongming, bring him to the Imperial Study."

After speaking, he turned and walked slowly toward the Imperial Study.

"The others go back; Ye Lian, you come with me."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Ye Lian replied softly and quickly followed.

Before long.

Inside the Imperial Study.

Di Yan sat upright on the dragon throne, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrest, his expression indifferent.

Ye Lian stood quietly by his side, her hands slightly folded, her knuckles somewhat white.

Just then.

Historical Strategist, dressed in green robes and holding a feather fan, stepped into the hall, carrying a figure with tattered Taoist robes—it was precisely Ye Ting, who was just shouting outside the city.

At this moment, he was heavily injured, with bruises all over his body.

Historical Strategist casually placed Ye Ting in the hall and bowed to Di Yan: "Your Majesty, the person has been brought."

After speaking, he stepped aside.

Seeing this, Ye Lian quickly stepped forward and took out a healing Immortal Pill shimmering with vitality, about to feed it to Ye Ting.

"Brother, come, take this pill."

Ye Ting suddenly swung his arm, pushing her away, and pointed at Ye Lian, his eyes nearly bursting, his voice hoarse:

"Ye Lian! You still know I'm your brother?!"

"Chu Sheng treated you with complete sincerity and was my brother-in-arms! Why did you betray him and follow this... this..."

His gaze swept over the expressionless Di Yan on the dragon throne, his anger growing even stronger: "Followed this Lower Realm Emperor?!"

"I, Ye Ting, do not have a sister like you!"

Ye Lian stumbled back a step, her face pale, and she opened her mouth: "Brother, I..."

"Come here."

Di Yan's indifferent voice interrupted her.

Ye Lian's body stiffened; she looked back at Di Yan and, seeing his calm but unquestionable gaze, finally bit her lip and silently walked back to his side, standing quietly.

Only then did Di Yan turn his gaze to the glaring Ye Ting in the hall and slowly spoke:

"You want to avenge Chu Sheng?"

Ye Ting struggled to stand up straight, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said hatefully, "That's right! Chu Sheng cannot die in vain! Your Taiyan Immortal Court must pay the price!"

Hearing this, there was no anger on Di Yan's face; instead, a very faint curve appeared on his lips.

With a flick of his wrist, a jade book surrounded by shimmering treasure light appeared out of thin air and was casually thrown onto the ground in front of Ye Ting.

On the cover of the jade book, several ancient Daoist characters shone brightly—"Purple Firmament Profound King Scripture".

"A sixth-grade Immortal Scripture that leads directly to the Dao of the Immortal King." Di Yan's voice was flat. "Do you still want revenge?"
