The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 2148 - 2145: Stirring at the News

"Of course. In truth, I only learned of this by accident. In the eyes of many, Emperor Ye is not truly an Emperor, merely someone who has a certain connection with the Double Emperors."

Emperor General Yun Shan continued, "Among us, the one who truly knew more was actually Ling Xiao."

"This is also the fundamental reason why he chose to die at Emperor Ye’s hands back then."

Hearing this, the Blood Robe Emperor General snapped his head toward Emperor General Yun Shan and said in a deep voice, "You mean he was afraid of death?"

He did not believe that. He knew his own brother.

Ling Xiao was not that kind of person.

Yet weren’t Emperor General Yun Shan’s words implying exactly that?

Emperor General Yun Shan shook his head and said, "You misunderstand. He was not afraid of death. It was only because he received Emperor Ye’s favor back then, and besides, over all these years he had been investigating this matter and learned some fragments of the truth. Probably because of this, he chose to die at Emperor Ye’s hands, to repay that favor."

The Blood Robe Emperor General’s expression gradually eased. He pondered carefully and felt that this explanation seemed to fit.

After all, Ling Xiao was a man of feeling and righteousness.

And if what Emperor General Yun Shan said was true, then Ling Xiao indeed would have made such a choice.

"So what exactly was the so-called truth about that year’s incident?"

The Blood Robe Emperor General asked in a low, steady voice.

Regarding that matter of those years, he actually knew nothing at all.

As for matters concerning Emperor Ye, most people only knew a few scattered words and phrases.

And those scattered words all pointed to Emperor Ye having done something that enraged the Double Emperors, which was why they struck to suppress and kill Emperor Ye.

That was all they knew.

Now that Emperor General Yun Shan had spoken this far, the Blood Robe Emperor General naturally had to ask the doubts within his heart clearly.

Hearing this question, Emperor General Yun Shan fell silent.

What was the truth, in the end?

Perhaps only the Double Emperors knew.

But judging from the vague things he had learned, in that incident back then, it should have been the Double Emperors who did some rather dishonorable things.

It was just that, as one under the Empress’s command, he naturally could not say too much.

"You don’t know either?"

The Blood Robe Emperor General asked.

Emperor General Yun Shan did not reply, but turned his head to look in a certain direction.

The Blood Robe Emperor General also looked that way, narrowing his eyes.

There, two old men who looked exactly the same had appeared.

Only their attire differed: one wore a Black Dragon Robe edged with golden thread, while the other wore a long robe of pale pink.

On both old men, an abyss-like, prison-like terrifying aura surged and fluctuated.

"Seven Kills Demon Palace, Hate Heaven and Hate Earth."

Seeing these two people, the Blood Robe Emperor General slowly rose to his feet and spoke, each word drawn out.

Seven Kills Demon Palace.

One of the peerless Overlords of Undying Heaven.

Before the Empress Palace was established, Undying Heaven was once called Seven Killings Sky, and Seven Kills Demon Palace was the strongest Overlord.

It was only after the Empress ascended to the absolute Peak that Seven Kills Demon Palace naturally yielded the Overlord’s throne.

And within Seven Kills Demon Palace, there existed two extremely fearsome beings.

Hate Heaven and Hate Earth.

This was a pair of twins.

And both had long been famed as Quasi-Emperor Realm powerhouses!

"What business brings the two Dao friends here today?"

Emperor General Yun Shan smiled faintly and cupped his hands.

The old man in the Black Dragon Robe edged with golden thread tugged at his face and said calmly, "Didn’t Emperor Ye just speak?"

The Blood Robe Emperor General fixed his gaze sharply on this man and said in a deep voice, "Your Seven Kills Demon Palace belongs to the Revenge Lineage?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Didn’t Seven Kills Demon Palace say before? We are directly under the Southern Dipper Six Veins."

"Southern Dipper Six Veins?"

The Blood Robe Emperor General’s brows knit tightly.

Emperor General Yun Shan suddenly sighed and said, "So it’s as expected. Emperor Ye’s subordinates are as numerous as the clouds. I truly did not expect that this so-called Southern Dipper Six Veins that suddenly emerged before would also be under Emperor Ye’s command."

"In that case, the Beidou Seven Veins are also under Emperor Ye, then?"

Emperor General Yun Shan looked at the Black Robe old man.

This Black Robe old man was precisely the elder twin, Quasi-Emperor Hate Heaven.

Quasi-Emperor Hate Heaven’s expression did not change as he said, "You’ve gone off topic."

"You two serve under Empress Changxi. Will you choose to submit to Emperor Ye, or... die?"

Quasi-Emperor Hate Heaven’s lips slowly curled up, and within his turbid eyes flashed a cold, biting killing intent.

It seemed that so long as the two Emperor Generals gave the wrong answer, he would erupt and kill.

The Blood Robe Emperor General snorted coldly and said, "Your Seven Kills Demon Palace is willing to be a running dog. I’d like to see what means you have!"

As he spoke, a terrifying aura suddenly surged up from the Blood Robe Emperor General’s body!

That was a true Quasi-Emperor Peak!

As one of the twelve Emperor Generals under Empress Changxi, the Blood Robe Emperor General’s strength, though inferior to the most powerful Emperor General Yun Shan, was still much greater than that of the Spider Emperor and Ling Xiao.

Rumble————

Above the vault of heaven, it seemed the sky itself was bleeding.

In that instant, an endless Blood Sea appeared out of thin air, forming an entirely new Blood Sea world.

The reeking smell of blood filled the skies, spreading out in that moment, so nauseating that it made people want to retch.

The Blood Robe Emperor General.

He was not a powerhouse of the Human Clan, but a powerhouse of the Blood Clan.

Within the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Heavenly Domain, the Blood Clan was one of the powerful clans; their control over bloodlines was the greatest in the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

And the Blood Robe Emperor General could be said to be the strongest person of the Blood Clan in this era.

When the Blood Robe Emperor General erupted with his formidable power, all living beings within billions of miles around felt the power within their bodies surging out uncontrollably.

Facing the Blood Robe Emperor General’s terrifying methods, Hate Heaven and Hate Earth from the Seven Kills Demon Palace both grinned and struck out without hesitation.

A battle between Quasi-Emperor Peaks erupted just like that.

At the same time.

Similar events were unfolding as well in the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Heavenly Domain.

Those who had previously declared themselves to be of the Southern Dipper Six Veins—Seven Kills Demon Palace, Heavenly Phase Divine Mansion, Tiantong Sacred Land, Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, Tianliang Immortal Sect, Heavenly Mansion, Southern Dipper Emperor Sect, Dou Su Divine Palace and the like—after Ye Xuan’s command, all began a cleansing of the forces under the Double Emperors within the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Heavenly Domain.

Not only them, but also ancient lineages such as Tianxuan Sacred Land, Greedy Wolf Emperor Palace, Heavenly Mechanism Mountain, Heavenly Authority Academy, Yuheng Academy, Kaiyang Divine Sect, Shaking Light Sacred Land, Beidou Heavenly Gang Sect, who had previously proclaimed themselves to be inheritors of the Beidou Seven Veins, moved at the same time.

It was as if they had all received the same order.

Only now did people come to realize.

These seemingly suddenly-emerged Beidou Seven Veins and Southern Dipper Six Veins were all under Ye Xuan’s command.

And once this news spread, everyone was shaken by the background of this so-called new Emperor, Ye Xuan.

If this fellow was a new Emperor, how could he have cultivated so many subordinates in such a short time?

What was more, they were all the topmost peerless Overlords within the Heavenly Domain!

These existences, within their respective Heavenly Domains, were all absolute Overlord-level beings; yet at this moment they obeyed Ye Xuan’s orders and joined forces to besiege the forces of the Double Emperors!

This was simply an all-out declaration of war!

A declaration of war against the Double Emperors!

Some powerhouses who had originally not thought highly of Ye Xuan’s ability to contend with the Double Emperors, upon learning that the Beidou Seven Veins and Southern Dipper Six Veins all belonged to Ye Xuan, quietly shut their mouths.

A cleansing that shook the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Heavenly Domain thus began.
