225: Chapter 225 Investigate this thoroughly

"Well then, Brother Zhou Yuan, I'll head in first." Ye Xuan said to Crown Prince Zhou Yuan with a smile, then followed closely after Nan Xu into the secret realm.

"Why are Nan Xu and Brother Ye acting so strange today?" Crown Prince Zhou Yuan furrowed his brows, muttering to himself, his eyes filled with confusion.

While pondering their unusual behavior, he moved forward, his figure gradually disappearing into the light screen before him.

In the Cangqiong Holy Land, atop a thousand-foot immortal peak that pierced the clouds and was surrounded by emerald mist, Leng Qianming walked slowly out of the dark secret chamber deep within his cave dwelling, a look of satisfaction on his face.

His face radiated a lingering sense of satisfaction, as if he had just experienced something wonderfully sublime.

Just then, a figure appeared like a ghost three zhang away from Leng Qianming. The newcomer was none other than the old servant with Huangxuan Realm cultivation.

Seeing him, he bowed respectfully to Leng Qianming and said, "Young Master, this old servant has already investigated the background and origins of that person surnamed Han."

Leng Qianming lightly sniffed his palm, which still retained the scent of Xu Yingying, then turned to look at the old servant and asked coldly, "Speak, what is his background?"

The old servant bowed his head and reported, "According to my investigation, the boy is named Han Fei, and he has lived in the Xu Family since he was young. He grew up together with Xu Yingying, and they could be called childhood sweethearts. The Xu Family knew that Han Fei possessed the Heavenly Demon Body, so they poured all their resources into cultivating him.

However, the Xu Family recently suffered a great misfortune and was tragically wiped out. Afterward, Han Fei sought refuge with the Zhao Family and was treated with courtesy."

After finishing, the old servant stood quietly to the side, waiting for Leng Qianming's next instructions.

"The Zhao Family, huh? Heh, just a Saint Family that has lost its Saint. Send someone to give them a warning later! As for Han Fei's relatives, did you find anything?" Leng Qianming asked calmly, though his eyes flashed with a cold glint.

Standing to the side, the Huangxuan Realm old servant, Servant Leng You, bowed slightly and slowly replied, "In reply to the Young Master, after much investigation, I have learned that Han Fei is the legitimate son of Han Li, the head of the Saint Family, the Han Family.

However, it is a pity that the Han Family seems to have suffered a tragic extermination over a decade ago! Not a single member of the Han Family was spared; they were all slaughtered, with only the father and son of the Han Family luckily surviving. After that incident, Han Li vanished without a trace, and before leaving, he entrusted Han Fei to the care of the Xu Family!"

Hearing this, Leng Qianming's face remained impassive. However, when he heard the news that Han Fei's entire family was gone, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up, forming an extremely sinister smile.

"Oh? Wiped out by others? What was the reason for this?" Leng Qianming asked with great interest.

The old servant, Servant Leng You, chuckled and continued, "Speaking of the reason, it is quite interesting! It is rumored that Han Fei's mother was named Bai Liuyue, and she seemed to come from the Bai Family, a Saint-level family in the Nanxuan Continent. She must have been someone of extraordinary status. Back then, she was severely injured and happened to pass by the Han Family; fortunately, Han Li saved her, allowing her to keep her life. Afterward, the two gradually developed feelings for each other, became husband and wife, and gave birth to a son, who is that Han Fei."

At this point, Servant Leng You paused slightly, stealing a glance at Leng Qianming's expression. Seeing that he was not displeased, he continued, "But the good times didn't last. People from the Bai Family later came looking for them, insisting on taking Bai Liuyue away. Han Li naturally refused, and the two sides had a fierce conflict. In the end, although Han Li's strength was extraordinary, he was ultimately no match for the people of the Bai Family and could only take Han Fei into hiding, only to be wiped out by others later..."

"The Bai Family of the Nanxuan Continent? Could it really be as the rumors say, that this is the family created by the White Emperor himself?" A glint flashed in Leng Qianming's eyes, and various legends about the White Emperor involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

The White Emperor was a legendary figure. In the ancient era, the entire Nanxuan Continent was firmly controlled by demonic beasts and the demon race. However, the White Emperor had many confidantes and led his partners to take deep root in this land. After ten thousand years of hard work, he succeeded in creating a brand-new race with a population of hundreds of millions—the Emperor-level family, the Bai Family—by his own strength, and its sphere of influence occupied nearly half of the Nanxuan Continent.

As a branch of the human race, the Bai Family was undoubtedly the most formidable existence in the Nanxuan Continent, and could even be called a hegemon. Not only that, but the Great Emperor of the Bai Family is still active in the world today. Viewed in this light, Bai Liuyue must have been a highly regarded Saintess candidate.

However, what surprised Leng Qianming was that Bai Liuyue dared to openly violate family rules, lose her chastity, and conceive Han Fei's child. Such behavior was simply a huge humiliation to the Bai Family; it's no wonder the Bai Family would spare no cost to wipe out the Han Family!

Leng Qianming muttered these words to himself, and for some reason, a trace of pity for Han Fei arose in his heart.

"Heh, the Young Master is right. I heard that the inheritance technique of the White Emperor's clan is a magical Dual Cultivation Emperor Scripture, though I don't know if it's true!" The Huangxuan Realm old servant, Servant Leng You, casually chimed in.

"I once heard our ancestor mention this; the Dual Cultivation Emperor Scripture is likely real! Legend has it that the White Emperor rose to power precisely because of this scroll of the Emperor Scripture, and it was because of this immortal scripture that he won the hearts of so many beauties!" Recalling what his ancestor had said in the past, Leng Qianming blurted out.

"However, I also possess an incomparably precious immortal scripture—the 'Xiantian Dao Scripture'. Given time, I will definitely be able to shake the world just like the White Emperor." Leng Qianming thought to himself, a smug smile involuntarily spreading across his face.

"However, have you found out where that Han Fei went?" Leng Qianming thought to himself, deeply feeling that Han Fei, who possessed the Heavenly Demon Divine Body, posed some potential threat to him, so he asked the old servant again.

"According to my observation, Han Fei's aura seemed to flee towards the Nanxuan Continent, but I have not yet ascertained his exact whereabouts." The old servant replied respectfully.

Servant Leng You bowed, trembling slightly, like a frightened rabbit, fearing that a careless mistake would displease Leng Qianming and bring about a scolding. He kept his head down, not daring to meet Leng Qianming's eyes, praying silently in his heart that he could successfully complete the task.

Leng Qianming looked at Servant Leng You with a grim face and said calmly, "The Nanxuan Continent and the Shenxuan Continent are different after all. You only need to send some people to investigate carefully this time." After finishing, he waved his hand to signal Servant Leng You to withdraw.

Servant Leng You breathed a sigh of relief as if granted amnesty and hurriedly responded, withdrawing. He walked quickly out of the hall, his figure soon disappearing into the grey robes at the doorway.

After Servant Leng You left, Leng Qianming leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.
