445: Chapter 445 The Heavenly Emperor (10)

Ye Family's main hall.

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

An Elder wearing the attire of a special envoy from the Heavenly Martial Sacred Dynasty stood in the center of the hall, his expression anxious and his forehead covered in sweat.

His cultivation had reached the Saint Realm, but before a colossus like the Ye Family, he still appeared insignificant.

"Reporting to the Empress and the Elders."

The envoy's voice trembled slightly.

"Our Dynasty's Saintess has, for some unknown reason, contracted a strange illness."

"Her life force is weakening day by day; she is now at the end of her rope and on the verge of death."

He recounted the whole story in detail.

The Saintess of the Heavenly Martial Sacred Dynasty was the future hope of the entire Sacred Dynasty, and her safety shook the very foundations of the nation.

To treat the Saintess, the Sacred Dynasty had exhausted everything, inviting famous doctors from all the surrounding Dao Prefectures and using countless Heaven And Earth Treasures, yet all were helpless, and they couldn't even determine the cause.

With no other choice, the Sacred Lord of the Sacred Dynasty could only dispatch this confidant, carrying heavy gifts accumulated by the Sacred Dynasty over ten thousand years, to seek help from the Ye Family.

This was their last hope.

After listening to the envoy's statement, the several Ye Family Elders at the head of the hall glanced at each other, their expressions not changing much.

To them, this matter was not complicated.

"The Ye Family will naturally not sit idly by regarding the affairs of the Sacred Dynasty,"

An Elder spoke slowly, his tone indifferent.

"For this matter, let the Third Elder take a few Saint Kings on a trip. That should be enough to clarify the situation and handle it properly."

Dispatching a Great Saint Elder plus several Saint Kings.

Such a lineup would be enough to annihilate a Saint-Grade Orthodoxy in the outside world, but to the Ye Family, it was merely handling an ordinary "family matter."

Just as everyone thought the matter was settled.

A calm voice sounded from a corner of the hall.

"I'm afraid this matter is not that simple."

Everyone's gaze followed the sound.

A young man dressed in fine silk clothing walked slowly out of the shadows in the corner.

It was Ye Yun.

He happened to be there.

Just as the envoy was speaking, he had activated his Heart Heavy Pupils.

He instantly captured a faint but sinister "eerie" aura clinging to the envoy.

That aura was exactly the same as the Origin he had felt when his body was once bound by the cursed shackles.

Ye Yun immediately concluded that the Saintess's strange illness was by no means an ordinary ailment.

Behind this, it was related to that mysterious "eerie" power.

This was far beyond what an ordinary Saint Realm expert could handle.

Ye Yun walked step by step to the center of the hall, meeting everyone's curious or doubtful gazes, and spoke calmly.

"I request to personally go to the Heavenly Martial Sacred Dynasty to investigate."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.

"Absolutely not!"

The Empress was the first to stand up, her face full of worry and opposition.

"Yun'er, stop this nonsense!"

"Your status is so noble; you are the future hope of our Ye Family. How can you easily risk yourself for such a small matter!"

The other Elders present also spoke up in agreement.

"The Empress is absolutely right! Your Highness the Imperial Son, regarding the Sacred Dynasty's matter, sending an Elder is already a huge favor; there's no need for you to go personally."

"Please reconsider, Imperial Son!"

The envoy from the Heavenly Martial Sacred Dynasty was even more dumbfounded at this moment.

He looked at the Ye Family's high-level members' excessive protection of Ye Yun, his heart filled with confusion.

Before he came, he had naturally heard various rumors about this Ye Family Imperial Son.

Ancient Desolate Waste Body.

Twelve years in the Body Tempering Realm.

These were no longer secrets.

Why would the Ye Family place such importance on a "waste body"?

Could the rumors be wrong?

But looking at this youth, only twelve years old, his aura was ordinary; he indeed didn't look like someone possessing peerless Divine Ability.

The envoy was completely baffled.

Neither side would back down.

Ye Yun insisted on going, while the Empress and the Elders resolutely disagreed.

Amidst this stalemate.

A terrifying Imperial Might awakened from the deepest part of the Ye Family's ancestral land and instantly descended upon the main hall.

"What is this commotion about?"

An old but majestic voice rang out within everyone's Divine Soul.

The hall instantly fell silent.

Except for Ye Yun and the Empress, everyone felt a shudder.

The envoy from the Heavenly Martial Sacred Dynasty's legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the spot.

His Divine Soul was trembling, his eyes full of horror.

A Great Emperor!

Is this the Ye Family's true foundation?

A living Great Emperor Ancient Ancestor!

A phantom of a grand Ancient Ancestor appeared at the head of the main hall.

His gaze swept across the room and finally landed on the youth whose figure was still tender yet remained neither humble nor arrogant.

"Yun'er, why do you insist on going personally?"

Facing the pressure of the Great Emperor Ancient Ancestor, Ye Yun's expression remained calm. He bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly and stated his reasons.

"Reporting to the Ancient Ancestor."

"First, the Heavenly Martial Sacred Dynasty is an assistant to our Ye Family. Now that they are in trouble, as the Imperial Son, I should personally intervene to soothe their hearts."

"Second, a flower in a greenhouse can never become a true towering tree. I need real tempering to verify my Dao and hone myself."

His voice was not loud, but it was powerful.

That vision and spirit, which surpassed his age, moved everyone present.

Even that Great Emperor Ancient Ancestor had a flash of approval in his cloudy eyes.

He was silent for a long time.

Finally, he nodded slowly.

"Granted."

One word, and the matter was settled.

"However, you must be equipped with the highest specification of guards to ensure your safety."

Seeing that the Ancient Ancestor had agreed, the Empress and the Elders, although still worried, dared not raise any further objections.

The envoy of the Heavenly Martial Sacred Dynasty recovered from his immense shock.

He immediately made a solemn pledge to everyone.

"Please rest assured, Imperial Son! Please rest assured, Old Ancestors! My Heavenly Martial Sacred Dynasty will fight to the last soldier to guarantee the Imperial Son's safety!"

...

The matter was thus settled.

A team consisting of the young Imperial Son, a highly respected Great Saint Elder, and the Sacred Dynasty envoy officially set off.

They boarded the Ye Family's top-tier flying boat, turned into a streak of light, and disappeared into the horizon.

After they left.

In the Ye Family's ancestral land, the Divine Thoughts of those Great Emperor Ancient Ancestors began to communicate again.

"Still a bit worried after all."

"Forget it, Little Five, you go personally. Conceal your aura and follow secretly, just in case."

"Granted."

A terrifying aura at the Quasi-Emperor level quietly left the depths of the ancestral land and followed from a distance.

Within the Imperial Son's bedchamber, the Empress looked in the direction her son had left, still unable to set her mind at ease.

A flash of determination appeared in her beautiful eyes.

She used a secret technique known to no one, and her figure quietly turned into an imperceptible streak of light, also following from a distance.

An apparently simple "medical visit" had, without anyone's knowledge, gathered a terrifying lineup of an Imperial Son, a Great Saint, a Quasi-Emperor, and a Quasi-Emperor Peak.

This force was enough to easily overturn an entire Great Province.

Yet their purpose for this trip was merely to investigate a "strange illness" of a Sacred Dynasty Saintess.
