75: Ye Zhentian's death

“Auntie…”

Ye Hao and Ye Zhentian, father and son, brought Zhuge Liang and the four Venerable Realm experts of the Brocade Guard.

They surrounded the entire Bai Residence.

Ye Hao’s face was twisted, as if enduring immense pain, as he spoke with difficulty.

“What are you doing here?”

Bai Suying’s beautiful eyes swept over him, her expression grim.

Though she had been worried about Ye Hao a moment ago, she wasn't foolish.

Ye Hao bringing powerful experts to their doorstep clearly wasn't for tea. Even with all her love for Ye Hao, she felt a chill in her heart at that moment.

“Gu Qing and Luo Li conspired, wantonly massacring cities, I…”

“Silence.”

“You scoundrel, put away your schemes. If you want to harm my son-in-law, just act. Why the need for words?”

Bai Wuya stroked his beautiful beard, his tall figure poised to strike, like a peerless Heaven-grade Saber, making everyone around him feel their souls tear apart, as if invisible divine sabers were ripping through their spirits.

He didn't believe a single word Ye Hao said.

Ever since Gu Qing entered the Bai Residence, he had been in seclusion cultivating, and his Dao Protector was also present.

Besides, why would Gu Qing massacre cities?

Did they have a feud?

Were there treasures in the cities?

Ye Hao couldn't catch Luo Li himself, so he wanted to make an example of Gu Qing; it was simply ridiculous.

He was indeed just like his father, full of schemes and unscrupulous in achieving his goals.

“This matter concerns billions of common people, we… we had no choice.”

Ye Zhentian’s face was gloomy. This old man was indeed as heartless as he had been back then.

Countless people in his Xiliang were annihilated, yet he was still protecting the culprit here.

If Gu Qing didn't die, who knew how many more people in the world would lose their lives because of him.

“Put away your hypocritical face. If you’re incompetent, you want to pin the blame on others. A vile slave like you, filth and baseness ooze from your very bones.”

With every word Bai Wuya spoke, the domineering Saber Intent around him grew stronger, as if to tear apart the sky. Countless living beings throughout the Imperial Capital felt their souls tearing apart, struggling in agony.

Bai Suying’s expression constantly changed. Looking at her father, who was one with his saber, she knew that Bai Wuya was about to lose his sanity.

He could strike at any moment, directly destroying the entire Imperial Capital.

“My lord…” Bai Wuya’s beloved wives and concubines couldn't bear it any longer. Cold sweat streamed down their foreheads, and their faces were pale.

They were only in the Void Dao Realm and couldn't withstand the terrifying Saber Intent emanating from Bai Wuya.

“You all go down first.”

Bai Wuya flicked his sleeve, sending them into a cave dwelling.

Ye Zhentian’s face was unsightly. Although what Bai Wuya said was true—he indeed came from a servant background and used countless unspeakable methods to reach his current position—

being told this to his face, how could he bear it?

How could he continue to be the Supreme Emperor in the future?

“It seems you really want to kill me?” Ye Zhentian suddenly laughed, feeling a profound sadness in his heart, feeling it was not worth it for his wife.

Bai Susu worried about Bai Wuya until her death, yet Bai Wuya stood by and did nothing.

Now, he even harbored killing intent towards them, father and son, and even wanted to destroy the empire they had worked so hard to establish.

“Very well, since you are so stubborn, let us settle this today.”

Ye Zhentian stepped into the void, secretly transmitting a message to Ye Hao. “Hao’er, the heavy responsibility of saving the world’s common people is now yours.”

Ye Hao nodded heavily.

As long as Ye Zhentian could hold Bai Wuya for a while, he would be confident in dealing with He Ni and thus saving the national destiny.

“Suying, if you still have feelings for him, don’t blame your father for being ruthless.” Bai Wuya also transmitted a message to his daughter, his voice stern.

“I won’t, Father.” Bai Suying nodded heavily.

“That’s good.”

Bai Wuya breathed a sigh of relief and confidently entered the void.

Today, he would kill Ye Zhentian to eliminate future troubles and completely sever the ties between Bai Suying and Ye Hao.

“Auntie, listen to my explanation. Gu Qing is really not a good person. He must pay for the countless lives in Xiliang…”

“Silence! From now on, our bond is broken. Do not call me Auntie again.”

Bai Suying said sharply.

He had indeed come to kill Gu Qing.

She had just gotten married, and he wanted her to be a widow.

Bai Suying was utterly disappointed in him.

Perhaps Bai Wuya was right; this father and son were inherently cold-hearted and full of schemes.

They spoke with righteous indignation, constantly claiming to be for the common people of the world.

But what did that have to do with them?

They couldn't protect their own empire, and instead of finding Luo Li, they targeted Gu Qing. What kind of logic was that?

In fact, if Ye Hao had just come to discuss it properly, she would have helped, pleaded with Gu Qing, and asked Luo Li to stop massacring cities.

But Ye Hao chose to come directly to kill, completely disregarding her, only caring about himself. This made her completely give up on him.

“Auntie…”

Ye Hao was struck by lightning, looking at her in disbelief.

Bai Suying was actually severing ties with him for Gu Qing?

Had Bai Suying also changed her heart, also started to climb the social ladder?

“Cough, cough, Your Majesty, let’s act quickly.”

Zhuge Liang anxiously transmitted a message.

What time was it? They were about to die from the backlash of national destiny, and Ye Hao still had the mood to be sad and sentimental.

One should know that in the current situation, every second of delay meant a decrease in their strength. They truly couldn't afford to wait any longer.

“Auntie, I’m doing all this for the common people of the world. You’ll understand me in the future.”

Ye Hao also knew his time was limited; every minute of delay meant more danger.

He immediately used the national destiny to empower himself, and imperial Dragon Qi surged around him.

“Ah…”

Just then, a scream came from the sky.

Ye Zhentian was split in half by a single saber strike, but his powerful vitality allowed him to instantly heal.

However, the Saber Intent and laws remaining in his body were rapidly devouring his life force, preventing the wound from healing.

Before Ye Zhentian could catch his breath, a large bell, imbued with Saint Dao laws, carried an boundless, mighty force, as if it could smash an entire galaxy.

With a bang, Ye Zhentian, along with the King-grade defensive artifact on his body, was smashed into nothingness.

Even the Supreme-grade Artifact spear Ye Zhentian used was shattered, covered in cracks, and rendered half- Waste.

“Father…”

Ye Hao’s eyes were bloodshot, and his mind roared.

He had only spoken a few words, and Ye Zhentian had been smashed to death by his father-in-law?

Bai Wuya was also somewhat astonished; he hadn't expected Ye Zhentian to be so weak.

Although he was absolutely confident he could crush Ye Zhentian,

after all, he was a veteran Venerable Realm expert, while Ye Zhentian was only a Venerable Realm expert who had recently broken through.

Killing Ye Zhentian was effortless.

But Ye Zhentian was Ye Hao’s father.

Ye Hao had so many Saint-grade Artifacts; he should have given Ye Zhentian one for self-defense or to comprehend Saint Dao laws, right?

“Old man, how dare you kill my father?!”

Ye Hao came to his senses, an overwhelming killing intent soaring into the sky. He wished he could rush into the starry sky and tear Bai Wuya to shreds.

Ye Zhentian was his son-in-law, after all. How could Bai Wuya bring himself to do it?

At this moment, Ye Hao regretted it immensely. If he had known this, he should have given Ye Zhentian a Saint-grade Artifact for self-defense.

He was just afraid that Ye Zhentian would ask too many questions, and he wouldn't be able to explain, so he didn't give him one.

He thought he would explain and give it later.

It was just that he had been too busy during this time, with too many changes occurring, causing him to forget about it.

Ye Hao regretted it immensely; because of a momentary oversight, he had forever lost his old father.

“How dare you! How dare you kill the Supreme Emperor! Surrender at once!”

The four leaders of the Brocade Guard immediately rushed into the void, their Supreme-grade laws emanating, surrounding Bai Wuya.

However, in the next moment, a wisp of sword qi drifted like a wisp of smoke, seemingly slow, but in reality, it was incredibly fast.

By the time everyone reacted, the sword qi had split into four, annihilating the four Brocade Guards into nothingness.

Ye Hao liked to hide and keep things secret in whatever he did, but He Ni didn't have that habit.

Bai Wuya was Gu Qing’s father-in-law. He Ni, being capable, could not sit idly by and watch Bai Wuya be bullied.
