Chapter 246: Chapter 245: Li Kuangtu Emerges

Hua Tianqiong immediately handed over the antidote to Sealing Spirit Powder to Ye Xuan to avoid provoking his anger anymore.

Ye Xuan didn’t trouble Hua Tianqiong further, allowing him to offer a Spirit Boat, then boarded it with Zhou Youwei and others, setting sail to return to the Emperor Immortal Sect.

After Ye Xuan’s departure, Hua Tianqiong did not idle around and installed a new Human Emperor right away.

As an elder ancestor of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country, Hua Tianqiong possessed unimaginable power.

Even if Hua Wentao were not dead, Hua Tianqiong could simply speak a word, and the Human Emperor would be replaced.

Such was the power of Hua Tianqiong.

And now, with Hua Wentao slapped to death by Hua Tianqiong, naturally, a new Human Emperor had to be established.

And as the news of the new Human Emperor’s ascension and the old Human Emperor’s death spread, it reached every corner rapidly.

It was not only Human Emperor Hua Wentao dead, but Hua Yunfei had also met his end within the depths of the Imperial Palace.

This news exploded like a bomb under the water, shocking the entire Lie Tian Heavenly Country.

With the rise of the new Human Emperor, the situation in the Lie Tian Heavenly Country was bound to be rewritten.

Moreover, at the time of the new Human Emperor’s ascension, a very important matter was announced.

The Lie Tian Heavenly Country would henceforth be a subordinate Upper Country to the Emperor Immortal Sect, with an annual tribute required.

These words directly incited an eruption of indignation from the court officials—some even questioned the new Human Emperor’s qualifications.

In the face of such a situation, Hua Tianqiong too made his presence directly known.

Following the appearance of Hua Tianqiong, no one voiced any objections anymore.

From this point forward, the Lie Tian Heavenly Country was brought back under the Emperor Immortal Sect’s embrace.

But this time, it wasn’t as before, with the Emperor Immortal Sect merely in charge of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country; instead, the Lie Tian Heavenly Country had to pay tribute to the Emperor Immortal Sect.

This was a clear hierarchy.

All of this, naturally, was orchestrated by Ye Xuan at Hua Tianqiong’s hand.

No matter how one put it, the Lie Tian Heavenly Country and the Emperor Immortal Sect shared the same origin. Although Ye Xuan was too lazy to manage the Lie Tian Heavenly Country, having it return under the Emperor Immortal Sect’s wing was also in consideration of the Lie Tian Great Emperor’s legacy.

Ye Xuan had shown extraordinary leniency toward the Lie Tian Heavenly Country.

If it had been another power, Ye Xuan would have annihilated them long ago when Wang Shiqi swaggered into the Emperor Immortal Sect boasting about breaking away from their allegiance.

Out of respect for the Lie Tian Great Emperor, Ye Xuan ultimately did not destroy the Lie Tian Heavenly Country, but allowed it to exist under the guise of being a subordinate to the Emperor Immortal Sect.

"Has Hua Tianqiong submitted to you?"

Aboard the Flying Boat, Zhou Youwei stood at the bow with Ye Xuan, watching the surrounding scenery swiftly recede. She asked softly.

Ye Xuan, hands in pockets and expression calm, smiled faintly and said, "He’s just a dog, he’s not worthy of becoming one of my subordinates."

Zhou Youwei’s eyes twinkled with astonishment, then she smiled knowingly, seemingly accustomed to Ye Xuan’s manner of speaking.

"How did the battle fare for the Emperor Immortal Sect?" Ye Xuan turned to Zhou Youwei.

Zhou Youwei looked straight ahead, her picturesque face adorned with a hint of a smile, and said softly, "Both of the elder ancestors from Thunder Cloud Mountain have been suppressed, and our sect has suffered no losses."

"But according to the elders, all this was because of my husband?"

Zhou Youwei turned her head, looking at Ye Xuan with a trace of puzzlement in her eyes.

Ye Xuan smiled slightly but said nothing.

Indeed, this was his plan. With Thunder Cloud Mountain’s elder ancestors suppressed, the Emperor Immortal Sect triumphed completely.

Now, it was Thunder Cloud Mountain’s and the Ancient Yun Shang Country’s turn to panic.

After traveling for two hours, nearing dusk, the group hurried back to the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Upon their return, they felt an overwhelmingly violent aura from all directions; they knew without thinking that a cataclysmic battle had recently occurred here!

When seeing Ye Xuan’s return, Jiang Jing and others were the first to greet him, their faces filled with joy.

"Ye Xuan, how shall we deal with the two elder ancestors from Thunder Cloud Mountain?"

Jiang Jing sought out Ye Xuan immediately.

"Where are they?" asked Ye Xuan.

"At the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple, suppressed by Li Kuangtu," Qiu Wenhan replied, his face aglow with excitement.

"He came out of seclusion?" Ye Xuan was slightly surprised.

However, the timing was right; Li Kuangtu had already suppressed the demon within his heart.

In Ye Xuan’s original plan, it was supposed to be Zhou Chaolong and the others making the move.

He hadn’t anticipated Li Kuangtu coming out of seclusion and assisting Zhou Chaolong in suppressing the two elder ancestors from Thunder Cloud Mountain.

"Come with me," Qiu Wenhan said without hesitation, leading Ye Xuan straight to the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple.

Meanwhile, Zhou Youwei and the rest stayed behind to report on what had happened in the past few days.

When Jiang Jing and the others heard all this, they were thoroughly astonished.

All of the powerful figures from the five forces had been killed by Ye Xuan?

Along with one of the elder ancestors from the Ancient Yun Shang Country, also suppressed by Ye Xuan.

The Emperor and the Third Prince of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country were killed, and the old ancestor Hua Tianqiong was subdued by Ye Xuan.

All of this felt incredibly unreal to Jiang Jing and the others.

It was truly too shocking.

Had Ye Xuan’s strength already reached such a level?

Wasn’t he just at the Daoist Platform Realm?

If it weren’t for the fact that many disciples were saying the same thing, Jiang Jing would hardly dare to believe it.

At this moment, Ye Xuan had already arrived at the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple with Qiu Wenhan.

Within the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple, Li Kuangtu was sitting in meditation, his body radiating a visible aura of violent murderous intent, extremely terrifying, making him look like a human-shaped fierce beast, incredibly formidable.

When Ye Xuan and Qiu Wenhan arrived, Li Kuangtu slowly opened his eyes, his pupils deep, no longer as wild as before.

He appeared very calm.

"You’ve returned," Li Kuangtu’s gaze fell on Ye Xuan.

"What about those two guys?" Ye Xuan asked.

Li Kuangtu spread his hands.

Hum————

The next moment, two bolts of lightning flashed by, followed by two souls flying out from Li Kuangtu’s hands, hovering in the air.

"I’ve torn their bodies to shreds, and only these two souls remain," Li Kuangtu said calmly as if he were talking about something extremely ordinary.

This made Qiu Wenhan involuntarily twitch at the corner of his mouth.

They were fine when suppressed, but in the blink of an eye, the bodies of those two ancestors from Thunder Cloud Mountain had been ripped apart.

This Li Kuangtu, although seemingly more stable now, was still very frightening.

His nature was filled with violent murderous intent.

Ye Xuan, looking at the two souls, stroked his chin and slowly said, "These two fellows primarily practiced the Thunder Technique, and their souls are quite good. They just happen to be suitable as Divine Souls for old man Xu Jiu to use as Artifact Spirits."

"Absolutely not!"

As soon as Ye Xuan’s words fell, the two souls became panicked, hastily pleading for mercy.

"Old man Qiu, leave these two souls for Xu Jiu," Ye Xuan said without heed to the pleas of the souls, waving his hand.

Whoosh————

The two souls turned into a gust of wind, swirling into Qiu Wenhan’s wide sleeves.

"Alright!" Qiu Wenhan turned and left.

"You haven’t lied to me." Once Qiu Wenhan had left, Li Kuangtu looked at Ye Xuan, his eyes calm, and gave him a deep bow.

"The stronger your mastery over the Demon Heart becomes, the purer the path of the War Demon will be, and the stronger the power you will unleash," Ye Xuan said with a slight nod.

In the past, he had instructed Li Kuangtu to defend the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple, to perform the ritual of three bows and nine prostrations for forty-nine days, forbidden to cultivate.

Li Kuangtu did as Ye Xuan had told him, and he grasped the true path of the War Demon.

When Li Kuangtu emerged from his time there, he felt unprecedentedly powerful.

Because of this, Li Kuangtu’s respect for Ye Xuan grew even more.

This seemingly young man held many unimaginable secrets.

"I won’t stay at the Emperor Immortal Sect forever, so if you encounter any issues in future, you’ll need to take action," Ye Xuan said as he looked towards the statue of the Lie Tian Great Emperor.

"You’re leaving?" Li Kuangtu furrowed his brows.

Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze, landing on Li Kuangtu, and offered a slight smile, "Don’t worry, it’s still early."

"If possible, I wish to follow you," Li Kuangtu said seriously.

Ye Xuan shook his head, "You bear the path of the War Demon, and your duty is to protect the Emperor Immortal Sect. Once you find the next inheritor of the War Demon, then you can follow me."

Li Kuangtu fell silent without a word, eventually nodding his head.

If it were the Li Kuangtu of the past, he would never have agreed so easily, and might even have said, ’Where I wish to go is my own decision, who can stop me?’

But after some time to reflect, he was now able to control his Demon Heart and was no longer as irritable as before.

Ye Xuan spread his hands.

Hum————

A flash of golden light.

Suddenly, within the Ancestor Temple, a Pixiu-like Mountain Beast appeared, looking around curiously.

"This feels so familiar." Tian Lu cast its gaze on the statue of the Lie Tian Great Emperor, speaking in confusion.

"What is this?"

Li Kuangtu, looking at the suddenly appeared Tian Lu, raised his eyebrows slightly.

"A descendant of the Pixiu Holy Beast, Tian Lu," Ye Xuan said slowly.
