Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei opened a bronze coffin, only to be met with a terrifying aura and blood-red eyes. While the Jiang Family elders attempted to investigate, they were blasted out by the unleashed power. The coffin then inexplicably descended and fled into chaos, propelling Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei in pursuit. After the coffin evaded attacks from the Jiang Family, Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei began their own assault to stop it.

Boom!

Sword light shot out from the center of his brows, tearing open a terrifying gash in the chaos, as if it were splitting the heavens and earth.

The sword light fell in front of the Bronze Coffin, instantly halting its progress and forcing it to stop!

It even left a deep mark on the Bronze Coffin.

The ancient array patterns on top were also destroyed at this moment.

"Daluo Sword Embryo..."

Ye Xuan watched that scene and smiled slightly.

The sword light that shot from Zhou Youwei’s brow was precisely the Daluo Sword Embryo that Ye Xuan had helped Zhou Youwei find in the Sword Tomb years ago.

This Sword Embryo originated from beyond the Ninth Layer Heaven.

Its origins are extraordinary.

At least, in Ye Xuan’s view, it is second only to the existence of Guo Hezu among the swords he has seen.

Back then.

Ye Xuan nurtured Zhou Youwei with the idea of molding her into an invincible Empress.

Only he never expected that Zhou Youwei herself was the reincarnation of the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor.

This point surprised Ye Xuan.

And this also seemed to make Zhou Youwei’s control of the Daluo Sword Embryo increasingly skillful.

She could even use the Daluo Sword Embryo to shake the Bronze Coffin.

One must know that the Bronze Coffin is a relic from the Ancient Immortal Realm, containing extremely terrifying power.

"Rise!"

Ye Xuan wasted no words and stomped his foot again.

Boom!

Immediately after, the coffin lid flew up with Ye Xuan’s action.

The Bronze Coffin was opened by Ye Xuan once again!

Zhou Youwei did not hesitate and transformed into a Divine Rainbow, rushing into the Bronze Coffin in an instant.

Whoosh ————

Just as Zhou Youwei was about to enter, a sudden flash of blood light shot out, actively attacking from within the Bronze Coffin.

Boom!

In a split second, Zhou Youwei struck with a palm.

The clash of the two palms instantly unleashed boundless divine might.

The surrounding chaos suddenly exploded.

Even the Bronze Coffin was continuously falling.

Due to Ye Xuan’s presence, the coffin lid was not blown open.

Ye Xuan lightly leaped down onto the coffin lid and focused his gaze on the figure’s owner, speaking clearly: "Youwei, do not take his life."

Zhou Youwei raised her arched brows and repelled the opponent.

Boom!

It was at this moment that they finally saw the owner of that figure clearly.

It was an elderly man with gray hair and a withered face, looking extremely eerie like a dried corpse.

Especially those scarlet eyes, which carried a heavy sense of oppression!

"Husband recognizes this person?"

Zhou Youwei raised her eyebrows and asked.

Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei blocked the figure back and forth, calmly saying: "The owner of this body is the descendant of my eldest disciple..."

"His name is Jiang Ziyu, known as Taigong, a strong figure second only to my disciple. He should have died."

Ye Xuan spoke calmly.

Jiang Family has a Taigong, named Ziyu.

This person is the descendant of Ye Xuan’s eldest disciple, Medicine Heavenly Emperor Jiang Yan, specifically speaking, Jiang Yan’s great-grandson.

He is also the most terrifying existence after Jiang Yan in the Jiang Family.

Though he never bore the mandate of heaven, he once battled with a Great Emperor and was undefeated.

In that era, Jiang Ziyu’s reputation was astounding.

Despite the erosion of time, Jiang Ziyu has passed away, yet his glorious past remains indelible.

The reason he came to the Jiang Family was not due to sensing the presence of the Dou Tian Divine Domain but rather detecting the aura of Jiang Ziyu.

That is why he came.

After all, Jiang Ziyu has long since fallen; Ye Xuan is well aware of this fact.

Under such circumstances, it’s impossible for Jiang Ziyu to resurrect.

Unless Jiang Ziyu appears in the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

Under such conditions, Jiang Ziyu’s appearance with a trace of aura definitely indicates a major problem.

And upon arriving at the Jiang Family, Ye Xuan further understood the ominous signs contained within.

"You have three breaths to vacate that flesh body, or you will surely die."

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Zhou Youwei glared at ’Jiang Ziyu,’ her voice cold and her tone extremely indifferent.

Moreover...

Zhou Youwei spoke in the Immortal Ancient language, not the current language.

’Jiang Ziyu’ heard this, his mouth curled slightly, mumbling something incomprehensible.

In any case, Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei didn’t understand the meaning.

Seeing Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei silent, ’Jiang Ziyu’ replied in awkward Immortal Ancient language: "I can, but you must not intervene in my departure."

Zhou Youwei’s eyes remained cold, calmly saying: "Do you think this is a negotiation?"

Ye Xuan looked at Zhou Youwei, feeling inexplicably like his wife was becoming more like him...

Why does she speak so dominantly?

At this moment.

The strong figures in the Jiang Family were extremely attentive to this matter.

Seeing Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei join forces to halt the Bronze Coffin and force out the person inside, they were immediately impressed and curious about the identity of the person in the coffin.

When they saw it was ’Jiang Ziyu,’ they were somewhat stunned.

Because they had all seen portraits of Taigong Jiang Ziyu.

And the person in the coffin resembled Taigong too much!

"Is that Taigong?!"

The Jiang Family Head was also shocked.

Boom!

At this moment, a terrifying aura that dignifies all heavens enveloped the entire world of Jiang Family, descending into that chaos.

It was an old, Immortal-like man in white, holding a white horsetail whisk, with two white brows hanging to his chest, appearing amiable and kind.

"Ancestor!"

Seeing this person appear, the Jiang Family members came to their senses and bowed, exclaiming loudly.

Jiang Zhao also returned to the side of the Jiang Family Head.

The white-clothed elder was none other than the ancient Ancestor of the Jiang Family whom Jiang Zhao had gone to invite.

An authentic Quasi-Emperor.

A world-class powerhouse in the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Even the vast chaos cannot harm him.

As he arrived in the chaos, he saw the surrounding chaos rolling to both sides, seemingly making a bright path for this old Immortal.

At this moment, the white-clothed elder’s gaze focused on ’Jiang Ziyu.’

After staring for a moment, the elder seemed uncertain: "Taigong?"

He tentatively called out.

’Jiang Ziyu’ did not turn his head but spoke according to the language of the white-clothed elder: "My descendants, clear these two away for me!"

Upon hearing ’Jiang Ziyu’s’ response, the white-clothed elder turned to Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei.

"Ancestor, those two are allies!"

Beside the Jiang Family Head, Jiang Zhao naturally also heard the words, his face changed, he quickly told the elder.

The white-clothed elder clearly sensed something was amiss, his figure flashed, instantly approaching the Bronze Coffin.

At this point, he finally saw that ’Jiang Ziyu’s’ eyes were blood red, and his aura felt off.

"Are you no longer listening to Taigong’s words?"

’Jiang Ziyu’ asked in a deep voice upon noticing the white-clothed elder remained inactive.

Upon hearing this, the elder showed a hint of rage instead: "Which demon dares touch Taigong’s sacred body?!"

At this moment, the elder already understood that the person before him was not Jiang Taigong!

Boom!

Zhou Youwei did not engage in conversation, acting directly.

Simultaneously, Ye Xuan also took action without hesitation.

The couple moved in unison, their coordination impressive.
