Chapter 498 The Emperor Palace

Green Ghost King left.
Without a word, he brought all of his Devil Army and left Wu Ye City.
No one knew where he had gone to, and no one saw him again. However, Su Yun understood that the fetters in Green Ghost King’s heart were even stronger.
His goal was not revenge, but to explain the bewilderment in his heart.
Perhaps he would no longer be enemies with the Huairou Family, but as long as he was alive, he would forever live in his memories and thoughts.
Such a person would feel pain, but would also feel happiness. It was both true and dreamlike.
Without the threat of Green Ghost King, the Huairou Family managed to escape the disaster by luck. No one expected that at the last moment, their ancestor would appear and resolve the crisis for the Huairou Family.
Therefore, Huairou Gong immediately ordered people to reconstruct Huairou Zangjian’s grave and carried Huairou Family to pay their respects.
‘Of course, it was not over.’
Within the main hall of Huairou Mansion.
Huairou Gong, Huairou Ding, Huairou Muyu and the other high ranking members of Huairou Family were sitting together. Su Yun and Taoist Priest Niao Lu were sitting on both sides, and in the middle of the hall was Ye Moxian, who was on the verge of death.
Everyone in the Huairou Family looked at Ye Moxian like a hungry wolf looking at a sheep. They wanted to skin him alive and eat his flesh.
“Come on, bring me my Soul Origin Magic Weapon!”
At this time, Huairou Ding stood up and shouted, “I want to personally extract the souls of this beast and refine it alive!”
“Father, don’t!”
Huairou Gong quickly stood up and said.
“What?”
“You still protect him?”
Huairou Ding said unhappily.
Huairou Gong’s face turned ugly. After hesitating for a while, he said, “Father, this is my brother’s son after all. Now that the Ye Family has been exterminated, there is only this tiny bit of blood left. How can you face my dead brother if you kill him?”
“Father, do you want me to be an unjust person?”
“But if you don’t kill him, you will become an unfilial person. This person almost caused the destruction of my Huairou Family!”
“Why do you still keep him?”
Huairou Ding scolded.
“That’s right, big brother, this thing is inferior to a beast. Could it be that you still want to raise it?”
“Even an ingrate is better than him!”
Huairou Muyu’s aunt couldn’t help but ask.
“This time, it was the ancestral spirit that showed itself. We just escaped a calamity. If the ancestral spirit didn’t inject its remnant soul into the ‘Sacred Heart’, what would have happened? Have you thought about it?”
“What is Ye Moxian to us?”
“Can we still sit here and talk?”
Another Huairou Family member asked.
Huairou Gong opened and closed his mouth, speechless.
The scene was a bit awkward. Other than Huairou Gong, almost everyone supported refining of Ye Moxian’s soul.
Ye Moxian looked up and saw Huairou Gong being scolded by everyone. His eyes flashed with confusion.
“Fellow uncles, there is no need to dispute. Since our Huairou Family is having difficulty to decide on our own, wouldn’t it be better if we were to hand this person over to someone else to deal with?”
Just as everyone was in a deadlock, Huairou Muyu suddenly stood up and said.
The crowd turned their gazes towards Huairou Muyu.
But she looked at Su Yun and said, “Su Yun captured Ye Mo Xian, so how do you think we should deal with him?”
As the sound of her voice faded, everyone’s gazes were focused on him.
Su Yun slightly raised his head and his pale face under the cloak was abnormally calm. He glanced at Ye Moxian and didn’t hesitate for long before spitting out a cold word: “Kill.”
Huairou Gong and Ye Moxian both trembled.
“Su Yun, think it over!”
Huairou Gong hurriedly said.
“Why didn’t you kill a person who would repay kindness with injustice and revenge?”
Su Yun said plainly with his eyes closed. Ye Moxian had already lost his bottom line, so why hesitate?
Plus, he didn’t have a reason to keep Ye Moxian. If it wasn’t for Green Ghost King, he would have attacked first.
Su Yun’s words put an end to the dispute on both sides. Without any hesitation, Huairou Ding pulled Ye Moxian, who looked like a dead dog and left the hall.
Huairou Gong was sitting on a chair dejectedly, sighing.
“Brother, Su Yun is doing this for your own good. If this person can betray you once, he will definitely betray you for the second time. Why are you sad?”
Taoist Priest Niao Lu said.
Huairou Gong didn’t say anything, and his face was still filled with helplessness.
The Taoist Priest Niao Lu smiled. After a while, he stood up and said, “Alright, big brother, since this matter has been settled, I think it’s time for me to take my leave!”
“Just leave?”
Huairou Gong finally raised his head.
“Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve been here.”
Taoist Priest Niao Lu forced a smile, then he turned his head to look at Su Yun, “Little Friend Su, didn’t you want to go to the Emperor Palace?”
“Are you willing to travel with me?”
“That would be perfect.”
Su Yun immediately clasped his hands and said.
“Haha, then let’s set off in the afternoon. Oh, right, there’s something I forgot to tell you. I heard that a group of cultivators from Sky Martial Continent have arrived Emperor Palace recently. Perhaps little friend Su know them.”
“Cultivators from Sky Martial Continent?”
Su Yun was stunned, “Do you know who they are?”
“It is said that cultivators from the Immortal Sword Sect specialize in Imperial Sword Technique. Their sword skills are very exquisite, but their cultivation is too low. If it wasn’t for their relationship, they wouldn’t have been able to come here to cultivate.”
“Immortal Sword Sect?”
When Su Yun heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. “I really didn’t expect Immortal Sword Sect to send people here. That Long Xianli must have come as well. I wonder if we have a chance to meet her when we return to the Emperor Palace.”
“Long Xianli?”
When Taoist Priest Niao Lu heard it, his expression changed slightly.
“What?”
“Has Taoist Priest heard of Elder Long?”
Su Yun smiled.
“I’ve heard of it.”
Taoist Priest Niao Lu hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth but said nothing.
Su Yun didn’t mind. In the afternoon, the two of them made some preparations. The Huairou Family provided the fastest ‘Feather Beast’, and the two of them rode on the beast and headed straight for Bei Yang.
Before leaving, Huairou Muyu specifically came to find Su Yun and explained to him. However, most women only talked about the company, but not much about Su Yun, so Su Yun was a bit confused.
However, the Huairou Family was about to enter the Bei Yang Region, so the two of them had plenty of opportunities to meet in the future.
The speed of the ‘feather beast’ was about twenty times faster than the Wind Chasing Beast and was extremely precious. It had already surpassed the wind and there were only two Feather Beasts in the entire Huairou Family.
In less than a day, the two of them arrived Bei Yang.
After a day, the two feather beasts lied down on the ground to rest. No matter how hard they tried, they were unwilling to take another half a step. The people of the Huairou Family in the Bei Yang Region put away the feather beasts and arranged for the other two mounts. The two then headed towards the Emperor Palace.
Entering the Bei Yang Region, Su Yun could feel a barrier sweeping past his body and lingering on the tag on his waist for a few seconds. He fought with Ye Moxian and Green Ghost King, and his fighting strength had already broken through 8,000.
Within Bei Yang, experts were everywhere. The weakest among them were at peak of the fifth level of Spirit Master. Furthermore, these fifth level experts possessed extraordinary fighting strength.
There were also those disciples from the sects in the Bei Yang Region.
What caused Su Yun to feel strange was that throughout the whole journey, Taoist Priest Niao Lu didn’t say anything, as if he had lost his usual enthusiasm and was worried.
Su Yun was extremely confused, but he didn’t have the time to ask, so he focused on the Burning Heaven Sword Formation alone.
The two of them didn’t waste any time in Bei Yang and immediately rushed towards Emperor Palace.
Finally, seventeen days later.
Su Yun was taken by the Taoist Priest Niao Lu to the top of a golden mountain.
At the top of the mountain, there was a huge golden formation. When the two reached the centre of the formation, they saw Taoist Priest Niao Lu took out a golden token, raised it high into the air, and shouted, “I am the disciple Niao Lu of the Dao Sect, a bird egret. The person beside me is my friend. Open the door quickly and let us in!”
Soon, a clear voice sounded from the sky above.
“So it’s Senior Brother Niao Lu!”
“Please wait a moment, I will open the passageway for you.”
A few breaths later, a golden light enveloped the two of them.
Su Yun could react, the scene in front of his eyes disappeared. When he reappeared, he was on top of a thick layer of clouds, and in the distant clouds, there were a lot of tall buildings that were dazzling in gold and jade.
Emperor Palace!
It was built with the help of the sky and stepped on clouds.
The scene was magnificent!
Su Yun stared into the distance and was filled with emotion.
“This is the only entrance to the Emperor Palace’s Dao Sect. In other areas, there are entrances from other sects. It is precisely because of this entrance that you are able to enter so easily. If it was someone from other sects, I’m afraid they wouldn’t have let you in so easily.”
Niao Lu said.
Su Yun nodded.
“Little friend Su, follow me. There are many people in the Emperor Palace, so go look for them one by one. I know a way to make it easy for you to find the person you’re looking for.”
Niao Lu said.
When Su Yun heard this, he was extremely happy and quickly said, “Then this time, I really must thank you, Taoist Priest.”
“You’re welcome.”
Niao Lu smiled and led Su Yun towards the Emperor Palace.
His so-called method was actually a commonly used Dao array in the Emperor Palace’s Dao Sect, called the ‘Heaven Eye Bright Heart Array’. He only needed to utter a name to mark out the location of the opponent, but if there was a second name, the result would be the result of searching for the wrong person, thus his accuracy was not high.
However, if he used it a few more times, he would be able to avoid this kind of mistake.
Niao Lu seemed to have quite a high position in Dao Sect, led Su Yun to the place where the Heaven Eye Bright Heart Array was set up. After informing the disciples, he activated the array.
“Please tell me the name, gender, basic appearance, and scope of the person you are looking for,” the array disciple said to Su Yun seriously.
Su Yun nodded with a serious expression. He spat out firm words, " Su Shentian, Shen Xuexue."
