246: Ye Long, Lingyao is back

Hearing this, Ling Yao also nodded. She didn't think too much and quickly followed Ye Long's pace.

Both she and Ye Long were at the Saint Realm, so dealing with Zhou Nianwei alone wouldn't require the help of other members of the Ye family.

Therefore, they headed straight for the Imperial City, aiming to resolve the matter quickly.

"Young Lord, Ye Long and Ling Yao have appeared. They are now heading towards the Imperial Palace!"

Inside the Imperial Palace, Su Xuan was teaching Zhou Nianwei how to Cultivate. Although he was only at the Saint Realm, it was more than enough to guide Zhou Nianwei, who was only at the Quasi-Saint Realm.

After several days of arduous Cultivation, Zhou Nianwei was completely exhausted. In the past, when she was in Tianwu Holy Land or Haoyue Sect, others would help her share the burden.

But now in Zhou Country, Zhou Nianwei was alone, so she had no choice but to bear everything by herself.

"Wuwuwuwu! Master, I can't do it anymore! Please! Let me go! I really can't!"

Zhou Nianwei cried. Of course, this wasn't her first time crying. Every time Su Xuan finished a cycle of Cultivation with her, Zhou Nianwei would cry for a long time.

There was even one time, because it was too strenuous, Zhou Nianwei fainted directly after finishing her Cultivation.

"Alright, I'll let you off this time. Your good sister Ling Yao is coming, and her husband Ye Long is also here! Quickly rest up and get ready for a good show!"

Su Xuan said with a smile.

Upon hearing the names Ye Long and Ling Yao, Zhou Nianwei immediately perked up.

She had always dreamed of getting rid of these two, and now she finally had the chance!

Soon, Ye Long and Ling Yao arrived at the Imperial Palace. This was originally the Ye family's territory, so Ye Long and Ling Yao had an unobstructed path.

With almost no hindrance, Ye Long and Ling Yao arrived at Zhou Nianwei's underground bedchamber.

Inside the underground bedchamber, Zhou Nianwei had changed into the imperial palace robes of the former Great Zhou Kingdom, and she hid gracefully beside the Dragon throne.

After all, she used to be the Empress, so Zhou Nianwei's attire and demeanor looked perfectly natural.

The only incongruity was that Zhou Nianwei wasn't actually sitting down completely; instead, she was half-squatting in the air like a horse stance, making it appear as if she was sitting.

All of this, of course, was Su Xuan's fault!

Zhou Nianwei glared at Su Xuan's direction, then quickly regained her usual expression.

Ye Long and Ling Yao entered the bedchamber, their gazes instantly locking onto Zhou Nianwei.

"Zhou Nianwei! What is the meaning of this? Not only did you control Your Majesty, but you also issued a decree for us to return to the Imperial City? What do you mean by this? Do you really think my Ye family wouldn't dare to kill you?"

Ye Long was the first to attack.

"Hehe, Patriarch Ye, there's no need to be angry. I know that everything I've done is under your noses, so calling you back this time is also to discuss something with you!"

Zhou Nianwei said with a smile.

"Discuss? I have nothing to discuss with you! Since your evil intentions haven't died, then prepare to die!"

After Ye Long finished speaking, he was about to make a move.

"Husband! Look at them, they're so fierce, they're all bullying me and saying there's nothing to discuss!"

Seeing this, Zhou Nianwei quickly acted spoiled and called out Su Xuan.

"Hahahahaha! Patriarch Ye has such a fiery temper! I don't know how Madam fell for you!"

"Do you usually speak to Madam like this? Didn't she teach you that you should be gentle with girls?"

Su Xuan's ghostly voice entered Ye Long's ears, seeming far away yet close at hand.

"What are you playing at? Who are you?"

Ye Long roared.

When Su Xuan revealed his true face, he appeared holding Ling Yao hostage.

Only then did Ye Long realize that Ling Yao was no longer behind him, but had been captured by Su Xuan at some unknown point.

"Patriarch Ye, if you usually speak to Madam like this, will Madam blame you?"

Su Xuan laughed heartily, and his hand also...

"Beast! What are you doing! Get your dirty hands off her!"

Upon seeing this, Ye Long instantly went red with rage, veins bulging, and he picked up his long sword, intending to strike at Su Xuan.

"Kneel down for me!"

With just a single word from Su Xuan, a terrifying pressure immediately suppressed Ye Long, rendering him unable to move.

Ye Long, relying on his strong willpower, did not kneel down immediately, but under that terrifying pressure, his knees directly fractured, and he could only powerlessly fall to his knees.

"Husband! Don't!"

Ling Yao knew that Su Xuan's strength was unfathomable, as evidenced by her being captured without any warning.

Now, the most urgent task should be to find a way to inform the Tianyan Holy Land experts guarding the Ye family; only they could deal with Su Xuan.

"Alright, stop struggling, both of you. I guess you must be trying to contact the experts left at the Ye family, right?"

"Don't waste your energy; they were all turned to dust by me a few days ago, not even a speck left!"

Su Xuan said with a smile.

"You... you killed them all? They are from Tianyan Holy Land? You dare to kill them?"

Ye Long said in disbelief.

More surprising than that was that the young Su Xuan before him actually possessed the power to kill Saint Kings?

Who exactly was he?

"What's there to not dare? As the dignified Saint of the Demonic Sect, Xiao Chen, what's killing a few Saint Realm nobodies?"

Su Xuan sneered.

"It's you! Xiao Chen!"

Ye Long had naturally heard of Xiao Chen's name, and he had heard this name more than once from Ye Yan's mouth.

As a recently debuted Saint of the Demonic Sect, Ye Yan had always listed Xiao Chen as a key person of interest.

"Saint Xiao, our Ye family has never offended you, so why are you attacking us?"

Ye Long was puzzled.

"I already said, I am the Saint of the Demonic Sect. You haven't offended me, but can't I offend you?"

"Furthermore, your Ye family bullied my woman so miserably, how can I not help her get revenge?"

Su Xuan said with a smile.

Zhou Nianwei behind him also had a smile on her face. Seeing Ye Long and Ling Yao's current state, she felt incredibly satisfied.

However, what made her a little unhappy was that Ling Yao's figure was slightly better than hers.

Ling Yao's appeared to be whiter and softer, while her own seemed a bit lacking.

Perhaps due to being a little older, she felt that her skin quality wasn't as good as Ling Yao's! It didn't look as dewy! This also made her feel a hint of jealousy.
