Chapter 552: Chapter 551: The Incident 90,000 Years Ago

"Mr. Ye, was it truly our ancestor?" Mo Shanhu mustered his courage and voiced the doubts deep within his heart.

"Nonsense!" Mo Shenchuan glared at Mo Shanhu.

Mo Shanhu involuntarily shrunk his head back.

"Not quite," Ye Xuan said slowly, "All you need to know is that your ancestor once entrusted me with a matter. If the Mo family should become corrupt internally, I will sweep it clean for him. This time is just a lesson, and I hope you remember it."

"Mr. Ye’s lesson is well received," the two Mo family elders said respectfully.

"Little Qing Lian, why are you standing so far away? Don’t you recognize your master anymore?"

Ye Xuan turned his head toward Mo Qinglian, who stood at a distance, looking somewhat at a loss, and couldn’t help but tease her.

Mo Shenchuan and Mo Shanhu also looked over, appraising the young girl.

Pure Spirit Divine Body?!

When they realized the young girl’s constitution, both were taken aback.

A Divine Body, that’s a rare genius indeed.

At that moment, Mo Qinglian appeared very restrained, perhaps because she felt unfamiliar with Ye Xuan after witnessing his display of divine might.

Hearing Ye Xuan’s teasing, Mo Qinglian’s cheeks flushed slightly as she said in a low voice, "Master jests, Qing Lian will be your maid for her whole life."

She had sworn an oath before: Ye Xuan saved her grandfather, and she would serve as Ye Xuan’s maid forever.

Although Ye Xuan was only testing her, she took it to heart.

It was just that she was not yet accustomed to such a powerful Ye Xuan, which made her appear restrained.

"Then why are you standing so far away?" Ye Xuan frowned at Mo Qinglian and said irritably, "Come here quickly; your master is somewhat tired."

Mo Qinglian’s face grew even hotter, but she still trotted over to Ye Xuan’s side.

"Wipe the sweat," Ye Xuan said.

Mo Qinglian looked up at Ye Xuan, and after a moment’s observation, she remarked, "Master, you’re not sweating."

Ye Xuan squinted at Mo Qinglian and said, "If I tell you to wipe, just wipe."

Mo Qinglian could only take out a delicate fragrant handkerchief and began to wipe Ye Xuan’s forehead and hands.

While wiping, she internally complained.

There was clearly no sweat, so why wipe?

The master really is a strange person.

Seeing the scene, both Mo Shenchuan and Mo Shanhu had the good sense to avert their gaze in unison.

After a while, Ye Xuan told Mo Qinglian to stop, then turned to Mo Shenchuan and Mo Shanhu, raising an eyebrow, "What are you still doing here?"

Mo Shenchuan said with an embarrassed smile, "There are some matters for which I’d like to consult Mr. Ye."

"Speak," Ye Xuan said.

Mo Shenchuan glanced at Mo Qinglian.

Seeing this, Mo Qinglian took the initiative and said, "Master, I’ll wait for you outside."

After saying that, she quickly left.

Ye Xuan made no move to stop her.

Once Mo Qinglian was gone, Mo Shenchuan began to speak, "Mr. Ye, although I do not know precisely who you are, I would still like to ask, is our ancestor still alive?"

Mo Shanhu was also nervously watching Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan heard this and frowned in response, "How long ago was the Mo family founded?"

Mo Shenchuan was taken aback, then replied earnestly, "According to the family records, it should have been established during the era of the Great Emperor who supported the heavens in the Ancient Era."

Ye Xuan asked again, "Is that Great Emperor still alive?"

Mo Shenchuan was startled again and then said with a bitter smile, "I was being thoughtless."

Indeed, even a supremely invincible existence like the Great Emperor who supported the heavens had vanished into the long river of history. Since their ancestor, Mo Tianxing, had not become an emperor, it was even less possible for him to still be alive now.

"Have you witnessed the Double Emperors ascending to the pinnacle?" Ye Xuan looked at Mo Shenchuan, narrowing his eyes.

Mo Shenchuan said with a forced smile, "Those are just rumors from outsiders. In truth, when the Double Emperors ascended to the pinnacle, I was buried deep underground, merely sensing the supreme Emperor’s Might of the Emperors."

Ye Xuan stroked the ink jade ring on his finger and said pointedly, "After the Double Emperors ascended to the pinnacle, forces like Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect ambushed Emperor Immortal Sect. How much do you know about it?"

Mo Shenchuan shook his head and said, "By that time, I was already in deep slumber and unaware."

Ye Xuan was somewhat disappointed, but it was within expectations.

"I’ve heard some bits and pieces about this matter," Mo Shanhu interjected.

"Oh?" Ye Xuan and Mo Shenchuan turned their attention to Mo Shanhu.

Mo Shanhu organized his memories and spoke respectfully, "When Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect, and other powers were besieging Emperor Immortal Sect, I had just stepped into the Saint Realm and was out exploring..."

That was ninety thousand years ago, when Mo Shanhu had just overcome the Heavenly Tribulation and became a Great Cultivator of the Saint Realm. In high spirits, he decided to venture out.

After leaving Mo Family Divine City, Mo Shanhu heard that something major had occurred in Zhongxuan Mountain, and driven by curiosity, he went there.

At that time, Zhongxuan Mountain was still the base of Emperor Immortal Sect.

The Mo Family and Emperor Immortal Sect were neighbors and often interacted with each other.

So, Mo Shanhu was well-acquainted with the route.

However, on his way to Zhongxuan Mountain, he witnessed a shocking great war.

Among the participants were Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect from Central Earth Divine Continent, Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect from East Desolation Domain, Ziwei Sacred Land from Beiming Sea Domain, Ancient Demon Country from Southern Ridge Divine Mountain, and Great Western Heaven Temple from West Desert Buddha Land.

These were the top overlords from the five great domains of Daozhou Continent.

But the war was not as blood-soaked as imagined; instead, it was strangely subdued.

Mo Shanhu couldn’t describe the specifics, as he had just entered the Saint Realm and was not considered powerful among these high-level beings.

Mo Shanhu only dared to watch from a distance.

Eventually, he saw the Sect Master of Emperor Immortal Sect from that generation fight against the five forces alone. The leaders of the five great powers battled him and ultimately suppressed him on the spot.

Afterward, Mo Shanhu saw many strong figures from Emperor Immortal Sect being taken away, and Emperor Immortal Sect was driven out of Zhongxuan Mountain.

Since then, Zhongxuan Mountain had been occupied by Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect.

"That’s everything I witnessed at the time," said Mo Shanhu.

"Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect, Ziwei Sacred Land, Ancient Demon Country, Great Western Heaven Temple—these five great forces have no connection with each other, right?" After listening, Mo Shenchuan felt it was somewhat nonsensical.

"Why would they join forces to trouble Emperor Immortal Sect?"

"Who knows?" Mo Shanhu was also puzzled.

The two turned to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan, at this moment, seemed thoughtful.

So they did take away the higher-ups of Emperor Immortal Sect?

That coincided with his own speculation.

As for why these top great powers from the five domains of Daozhou would act against Emperor Immortal Sect,

Who else could it be, aside from the Double Emperors?

This answer, Ye Xuan had known early on.

’These two traitors, aware that I control the Revenge Lineage, why would they target a legacy like Emperor Immortal Sect...’

’Besides wanting to possess my Monster Body, what else do they want to achieve?’

’Desire to uncover the secrets of the Daoist Body?’

’Or is it that other matter...’

Ye Xuan pondered to himself.

"Mr. Ye, why are you asking about Emperor Immortal Sect?" asked Mo Shanhu with befuddlement.

"Because, I am the Chief Senior Disciple of Emperor Immortal Sect," answered Ye Xuan, snapping back from his reverie, with a calm smile.

"Eh?!" Mo Shanhu and Mo Shenchuan were both taken aback.
