243: the truth

“My husband is joking; in my eyes, no matter how beautiful the scenery, it doesn’t compare to half of you!”

“My lady, I should be the one saying that. You’re making me feel embarrassed!”

Ye Long laughed.

The two of them, combined, were over two hundred years old, yet they were still so affectionate, making the attendants carrying their luggage behind them envious and jealous.

As the two looked at each other, an inexplicable feeling was born between them, and they gradually drew closer.

The attendant quickly found an secluded place to avoid them.

“My lord is truly vigorous in his old age! Even at such an advanced age, he’s still full of Life Qi!”

“My lady also retains her charm, looking just like a young girl. When will I be like this too!”

The attendant sighed.

However, soon after, a summons brought the attendant’s fantasy back to reality.

This was one of the uses of the Imperial Seal. As long as you were within the territory of the Zhou Kingdom, no matter where you were, a summons could be sent to you using the Imperial Seal.

However, this required a certain amount of power. The current Zhou Kingdom was no longer the domain of the Great Zhou Imperial Family; people only knew the Ye Family, not the Imperial Family.

The power of the Imperial Seal was almost depleted; if not for previous accumulations, it wouldn't even be able to do this.

“My lord, there’s a situation!”

When Ye Long and Ling Yao heard the attendant’s words, they both felt a bit of resentment. Didn’t he see they were doing something important?

After hearing that, Ye Long also felt tired and could only suppress his anger to ask the attendant what was going on.

“What happened that’s so urgent? Didn’t you see my lady and I were doing something important?”

Ye Long, who usually had a good temper, was also somewhat annoyed; this time, he was truly a bit angry.

Ling Yao was the same. In front of outsiders, she was always poised and appeared as a virtuous wife and loving mother, but with such an incident, Ling Yao also found it hard to sit still.

“My lord, please calm your anger! Please calm your anger! A summons was just transmitted to me; it ordered me to inform my lord to return to the Imperial City immediately!”

The attendant quickly knelt down.

“A summons? Ridiculous! Their Great Zhou is no different from a fallen kingdom! How dare they still issue a summons? Truly laughable!”

Ye Long said disdainfully.

In fact, the Ye Family basically knew about Zhou Nianwei’s secret machinations; the difference in strength between the two sides was not on the same level at all.

Even if Zhou Nianwei had the Imperial Seal and could use the power of the national destiny, she would not be the Ye Family’s opponent.

After all, the Great Zhou was now filled with the Ye Family’s influence; the so-called Imperial Family was nothing but a Puppet.

“Husband, since that woman is so ungrateful, why don’t we go back and settle this matter?”

“Our Ye Family has already given her one chance. Since she doesn’t cherish it, then so be it!”

Ling Yao said.

The reason Zhou Nianwei was not killed back then was because Ling Yao, seeing that they were both women, and that Zhou Nianwei had lost her husband and her daughter had gone mad, took pity on her. So, she merely drove her away and secretly sent people to monitor her.

Later, even when Zhou Nianwei infiltrated the palace and drugged the current emperor with Gu worms to control him, the Ye Family merely regarded it as minor mischief.

From beginning to end, the Ye Family never took Zhou Nianwei seriously. Even the power Zhou Nianwei secretly accumulated was given to her by the Ye Family; in reality, no one among them listened to her.

“That’s fine too! This evil woman, we gave her a chance, and she didn’t cherish it! Her wicked heart truly won’t die!”

“Since that’s the case, then as she wishes, let’s send her and her husband to reunite below!”

Ye Long said.

After speaking, Ye Long and Ling Yao boarded their Flying Sword and headed towards the Imperial City; they had no interest in doing anything else.

After killing Zhou Nianwei, they planned to do other things on Zhou Nianwei’s grave.

...

“My lady, how did things go! What did Ye Long and Ling Yao say?”

Su Xuan had no idea where he got two watermelons from, constantly spinning them in his hands.

“Young Master Xiao, I have already given them the order. Now Ye Long and Ling Yao are rushing to the Imperial City; they will arrive in at most three days!”

Zhou Nianwei’s face was flushed, and her expression was a bit strange.

“Alright! In that case, I can also make some preparations here! Hehehehe!”

Then, Su Xuan sent a voice transmission to Sun Wuji.

“Within three days, set up an isolation Formation for me in the Imperial City. By then, I want not a single fly to be able to escape from here!”

Su Xuan commanded.

“As you command, Master!”

Upon hearing this, Sun Wuji was overjoyed. After spending so much time here, he could finally begin to act.

“Young Master Xiao, are you confident? According to the information I obtained back then, the Ye Family currently has at least three Saint Kings guarding them. Are we their match?”

Zhou Nianwei said with some concern.

“Heh, a mere few Saint Kings are nothing to mention. Even if a Great Emperor came, I could still take him down!”

Su Xuan said confidently.

He had brought out all the elites of the Haoyue Sect. Unless the Tianyan Holy Land deployed its main force, a few Saint Kings simply couldn’t stop them.

“He can even kill Great Emperors…”

Zhou Nianwei said in surprise.

She had only heard of such legendary figures or seen them in storybooks and novels in her daily life.

As for seeing them in person, she hadn't, yet the Su Xuan before her actually claimed he could even kill Great Emperors!

Is this the power of a Demonic Path Saint? It seems that reaching this agreement with Su Xuan was quite a good deal!

“Xi’er, wait for me. Your revenge, it won’t be long, Mother will avenge you!”

Zhou Nianwei clenched her fists. She couldn't wait; she now desperately hoped that Ye Long and Ling Yao would appear before her immediately.

“My lady, I know you are eager for revenge, but before that, we must first clear out some pests!”

“Pests? What do you mean?”

Zhou Nianwei was a bit confused.

With a thought from Su Xuan, a stealthy person was immediately caught by him.

When the mask was removed, Zhou Nianwei’s face changed dramatically upon seeing the other person’s face.

“Wang Bai! How could it be you! How are you here?”

Zhou Nianwei was puzzled.

Wang Chen was the strongest among the forces she had secretly accumulated, a Guest Elder she had acquired at great expense.

Although he only had Saint Realm strength, he was undoubtedly the strongest existence Zhou Nianwei could currently obtain!

As for experts of other levels, Zhou Nianwei’s current financial resources simply couldn’t cultivate or invite them.

“Hahahahahahaha! Why can’t I be here? This is originally my Ye Family’s territory, so why can’t I appear here?”

Wang Bai burst into laughter upon hearing Zhou Nianwei’s words.

“Ye Family? What do you mean?”

Zhou Nianwei frowned.
