Ye Ling'er accused Liu Junyu of inappropriate touching. After sending his wife and sister away, Ye Xuan confronted Liu Junyu and his grandfather. Despite pleas for mercy and reminders of past favors, Ye Xuan executed Liu Junyu using the "Divine Soul Annihilation, True Spirit Does Not Exist" technique, ending his existence. Ye Xuan dismissed Old Master Liu's grief, deeming his grandson's fate self-inflicted.

These words could be said to be utterly ruthless.

But the old patriarch of the Liu Family stopped crying, staggered as he picked up the body of his grandson Liu Junyu and walked out.

"Clean up before leaving."

Ye Xuan said indifferently.

The old patriarch of the Liu Family stiffened suddenly, his eyes spewing incredible hatred, yet he held back, using Water Magic Technique to clean up the mess in the great hall.

Just as he was about to walk out of the hall, the old patriarch of the Liu Family stopped, without turning back, he spoke hoarsely: "Hongli, old brother, from today onward, we have no connection."

After speaking, he stepped out to leave.

But at the same time, Ye Xuan snapped his fingers.

Boom!

In an instant.

The old patriarch of the Liu Family and Liu Junyu’s corpse exploded into fragments, and was promptly swallowed by the void fissure, leaving no trace at all.

As if they had never appeared.

Seeing that scene, Ye Minghai showed a slight smile.

Just because of his scars and appearance, it looked somewhat menacing.

Ye Hongli sighed upon seeing this, his eyes a bit desolate.

It was obvious that although the Ye Mansion had grown powerful, the old man wasn’t all that happy.

Because many things.

Had changed.

Lost their flavor.

Were not like before.

Ye Xuan walked to Ye Hongli’s side and whispered: "Grandpa, do not be like this. Even though this person left the Ye Mansion with murderous intent unexpressed, he would certainly do some things to irritate you. Since you cannot make the move to kill him, I can do it instead."

Ye Hongli patted Ye Xuan’s back, showing a hint of relief: "Little Xuan, you are thoughtful."

Watching this, Ye Minghai candidly said: "Dad, sometimes you are just too indecisive. That old scoundrel should’ve been kicked out long ago, yet you even had to trouble Little Xuan to take action, isn’t that just deliberately irritating the kid?"

Ye Hongli was not at all angry at these words, instead, he laughed heartily: "Old, old, my son is teaching me a lesson."

Ye Minghai rolled his eyes, "You always say that."

Ye Hongli waved his hand: "It was not due to you, this matter indeed wasn’t handled well by me. If your older brother and third brother were home, it wouldn’t have happened."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan seized the opportunity and asked: "Where did Uncle and Father go, and it seems Mother isn’t at home either?"

Coming back this time, he primarily wanted to see his father and mother, and more importantly to show Youwei their origins.

If there were no issues, good.

If there were issues, then they need resolving.

But before getting close to Wan’an City, Ye Xuan already perceived it, Father and Mother weren’t at home, even Uncle was absent.

This was quite surprising to Ye Xuan.

After all, before coming back, he had already investigated.

Father hadn’t returned to Xuan Sect, so they could only be in Wan’an City.

But upon returning, the place was empty.

Truly unexpected.

"Your father is mysterious, I don’t know what he’s gone to do, ask your second uncle."

The old man rubbed his brow, seemingly a bit fatigued.

But Ye Xuan could see, the old man’s strength had already soared to the Saint Emperor Realm, how could he be tired.

This clearly was Father’s doing.

Though Ye Xuan hadn’t taught much in Wan’an City, due to his father Ye Mingtian and mother Jiang Ye both being individuals of extraordinary backgrounds, after they returned home, stationed at the Ye Mansion, naturally the Ye Mansion grew increasingly powerful.

Even the old man, whose cultivation potential had long surpassed age, had been forcibly turned into a Saint Emperor.

And his second uncle was even more formidable, now already an Immortal.

The last time Ye Xuan returned, his second uncle was at the Heavenly Human Realm.

Such crossing of realms was truly astonishing.

Besides the reason of Father, Ye Xuan actually could understand, likely also that his family’s origins were peculiar.

Currently, the most normal ones seemed to be Brother Hao and Sister Yuxuan cultivating on Eternal Mountain.

Of course.

It might also be their peculiarity hasn’t emerged yet?

That is also uncertain.

"Minghai, keep Little Xuan company chatting about his father, I’m going fishing."

Ye Hongli indeed wasn’t physically tired, but today was a bit mentally weary, so he had no inclination to converse, proactively said: "Little Xuan, if you have questions ask your second uncle. Now he and your uncle are managing the house, your grandpa is old, lazy to manage you young people’s matters."

Finishing, Ye Hongli patted Ye Xuan’s shoulder and turned to leave.

Ye Xuan watched Ye Hongli’s figure, smiling slightly.

He wasn’t distressed.

Because he could see, although Grandpa claimed to be old, in actuality with the enhancement of strength, he was gradually rejuvenating.

Even the previous hunchbacked posture had straightened.

After Grandpa left, Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze.

"Little Xuan, do you think your grandpa is old?"

Ye Minghai curled his lips and asked.

Ye Xuan replied with a smile: "Aged but tough."

Ye Minghai too grinned widely, then said: "Your parents and uncle should have gone to that world and haven’t returned yet."

Upon hearing this.

Ye Xuan’s smile faded, frowning deeply: "That world? Did Father mention it to you?"

Ye Minghai tapped his own forehead, pondering for a moment, then said: "He seemed to have mentioned it once, something called Dou Tian Divine Domain, also said Little Xuan you know about it."

"What’s wrong Little Xuan, is there something wrong with that world?"

Ye Minghai noticed Ye Xuan’s face becoming stern, sensed the gravity of the matter, and asked seriously.

Ye Xuan’s expression rarely turned solemn, whispering: "Did Father also take second uncle there?"

Ye Minghai nodded: "Indeed, my Cultivation came from over there."

Just as expected!

Upon hearing second uncle’s answer, Ye Xuan’s heart lightly trembled.

He wouldn’t forget what Father had previously told him.

Father’s experiences were also extremely unusual, once had a grand vision spanning a millennium in Dou Tian Divine Domain, afterward brought back a knife from there.

Only, Ye Xuan never imagined Father could still go into that world.

And not alone, he took Mother, uncle, and second uncle, all had visited Dou Tian Divine Domain!

At that moment, Ye Xuan’s mind raced with countless thoughts.

"Little Xuan, what’s wrong?"

Seeing Ye Xuan’s expression amiss, Ye Minghai frowned: "If there’s something, tell second uncle directly, don’t bottle it up."

Ye Xuan slightly shook his head and asked: "When did they go there?"

Ye Minghai replied without hesitation: "Two months ago."

That timeline, roughly when Ye Xuan was in Black Sky Ancient Netherworld.

"When did Father take second uncle there initially?"

Ye Xuan asked again.

Ye Minghai then recalled: "About four years ago."

That timeline, approximately when Ye Xuan had just emerged from Emperor Road.

Ye Xuan’s breathing grew a bit rapid.

Linking to the questions Youwei asked before coming, Ye Xuan felt his heart becoming somewhat chaotic.

Even the betrayals of Empress Changxi and Emperor Mu hadn’t disordered Ye Xuan’s heart like this.

Could it be Father and Mother truly are people from Dou Tian Divine Domain?
