The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 633 - 632: The Truth

Chapter 633: Chapter 632: The Truth

With Du Yue joining the ranks, those who had guarded the Ancestor Master Tomb during these ninety thousand years were all summoned here.

Nine people, all of them were elder ancestors from the Red Sparrow Institute.

Each of them had lived for a very long time.

Some had only guarded for a few thousand years, while others had guarded for tens of thousands of years.

The one who had guarded for the longest time was the present Yao Tianfeng, who had already guarded for forty thousand years.

The others combined had guarded for more than fifty thousand years.

"Young Master?" Gu Shimin looked at Ye Xuan, signaling for Ye Xuan to ask questions.

"You ask, I’ll watch," Ye Xuan said.

Hearing this, Gu Shimin didn’t say much and began to question each one in turn.

But the answers she ultimately received were almost no different from Yao Tianfeng’s.

Every one of them, while guarding the Ancestor Master Tomb, had almost only seen members from the Red Sparrow Institute come to worship.

Moreover, it was large-scale worship, leaving no chance for anyone to take action against the Ancestor Master Tomb.

Furthermore, those disciples all knew that within the Ancestor Master Tomb, there actually were characters at the elder ancestor level guarding it, even though no one had ever seen them, but also nobody dared to mess around at the Ancestor Master Tomb.

"Could it be something that happened ninety thousand years ago?" Unable to get the answers she wanted, Gu Shimin’s eyebrows were tightly knitted as she looked at Ye Xuan.

Everyone else looked at Ye Xuan as well.

Ye Xuan’s gaze swept over everyone, eventually stopping on Du Yue.

Seeing Ye Xuan looking at Du Yue, everyone couldn’t help but turn their gazes to Du Yue as well.

Du Yue’s complexion slightly changed as he hurriedly said, "Young Master Ye, I certainly haven’t lied."

Ye Xuan didn’t speak. Emperor Soul stirred, directly forcibly entering Du Yue’s Life Palace, suppressing Du Yue’s Holy Soul, and then forcibly ripping out the memory segment about guarding the Ancestor Master Tomb.

"Ah————"

Du Yue let out a piercing, agonizing scream, rolling on the ground in pain.

Seeing this scene, everyone’s faces changed, yet they dared not say anything.

A hazy orb of light appeared in Ye Xuan’s hand. He tossed it lightly, throwing the hazy orb into the air, followed by a few Magic Techniques.

"Disperse."

Ye Xuan commanded softly.

Immediately, scenes appeared before everyone’s eyes.

These images were all related to Du Yue’s memories of guarding the Ancestor Master Tomb.

At first, nobody thought much of it.

But after a while, they began to notice something was off.

During the third millennium of Du Yue’s guardianship of the Ancestor Master Tomb, another figure appeared in the image.

This person was not from the Red Sparrow Institute!

It was a young man who seemed to be Du Yue’s friend.

"Isn’t that Liu Xihua from Double Emperor Mountain?"

Upon seeing this young man, Sun Luyun uttered in astonishment.

Everyone’s heart shook as they continued to watch.

In the image, the man called Liu Xihua was happily conversing with Du Yue.

After several visits, Liu Xihua proposed to pay tribute to the Ancestor Master Tomb, claiming admiration for the legend of the Red Sparrow Fairy.

Initially, Du Yue was also hesitant, but feeling a bit petty, he agreed, and the two entered the Ancestor Master Tomb together.

Liu Xihua paid his respects earnestly and said a lot to Du Yue.

Not long after, the two left together.

Thereafter, Liu Xihua came a few more times; the last time was to bid farewell to Du Yue, saying he was going into seclusion and might seldom meet in the future.

Feeling regretful, Du Yue had a good drink with him.

And then there was no more.

By this point, everyone present knew where the problem lay.

Looking at Du Yue rolling on the ground in pain, no one felt sympathy anymore; instead, they deemed him deserving of death.

"This damned thing!" Gu Shimin was also furious.

Just now, when she questioned him, Du Yue had said quite seriously that no outsider had come here.

But now, after pulling out his memory, it turned out that this man was the culprit!

At the same time, everyone was shocked by Ye Xuan’s methods.

How did he know Du Yue was lying, and how did he directly extract that segment of Du Yue’s memory for everyone to witness?

This technique was truly hair-raising.

Unbeknownst to them, while Gu Shimin was asking questions, Ye Xuan was using the power of Emperor Soul to probe all nine individuals.

If anyone lied, he could detect it.

As for extracting the memory, as long as there was no spiritual restriction in place on the other party, it was a piece of cake for him.

Ye Xuan’s expression was cold as he looked at Sun Luyun, "You also know this Liu Xihua?"

When Liu Xihua appeared just now, Sun Luyun had immediately named him.

Clearly, Sun Luyun also knew this Liu Xihua.

Hearing this, Sun Luyun collected herself and said, "Liu Xihua is from Double Emperor Mountain in Central Earth Divine Continent. Back when I was traveling through Central Earth Divine Continent with Du Yue, we met as fellow Daoists, but I was not aware that he visited the Red Sparrow Institute..."

"What kind of force is Double Emperor Mountain?" Ye Xuan inquired with a frown.

Could it be related to Changxi or Mu Yun?

"Double Emperor Mountain is the overlord power of the Central Earth Divine Continent, on par with the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect. It is rumored to have been founded by the Double Emperors, but since they have not declared it openly, no one really knows the true nature of Double Emperor Mountain," Sun Luyun said truthfully.

"Is it a power that emerged within these ninety thousand years?" Ye Xuan asked.

Sun Luyun shook her head, "No, Double Emperor Mountain existed even before, but back then it wasn’t called Double Emperor Mountain."

So, it wasn’t a power that emerged within these ninety thousand years?

Then it seems they were the ones who automatically became the eagles under the Double Emperors.

Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his gaze.

Whoever dares to take away Little Red Sparrow’s True Bone cannot be spared!

No matter whether it’s related to the Double Emperors or not!

Having understood all this, Ye Xuan’s mood did not improve much.

The plan to resurrect Little Red Sparrow had been disrupted, something Ye Xuan absolutely couldn’t tolerate!

Ye Xuan approached Du Yue, who was lying on the ground, gasping for breath, his face as pale as paper, his expression indifferent.

Seeing this, everyone felt a chill down their spine and stepped back.

They knew Du Yue was done for!

If it had been earlier, they might have helped him out of fellowship.

But now, that was absolutely impossible.

Because of Du Yue, the Ancestor Master Tomb had been disturbed, which was a tremendous disgrace for the Red Sparrow Institute.

If not for Young Master Ye’s arrival today, it’s feared that this incident might have gone unnoticed for many years!

"Open!"

Ye Xuan bellowed.

The next moment, a simple and eerie box suddenly appeared in front of Ye Xuan.

The box slowly opened.

Immediately afterward, a tremendous Power of Devouring burst forth, directly tearing out Du Yue’s Holy Soul.

"What is this...."

The scene made the faces of all those around change dramatically.

At that instant, they all felt a terrifying Power of Devouring, one that seemed to suck out their own Holy Souls.

They could see Du Yue’s Holy Soul contorting in agony, struggling wildly but to no avail, as it was sucked into that strange box in an instant and sealed within.

And Du Yue, in that moment, died completely, lying motionless on the ground.

After the Soul Box had absorbed Du Yue’s Holy Soul, it disappeared without a trace.

"Burn his remains with Spiritual Fire for forty-nine days, then throw these three talismans in," Ye Xuan casually tossed three talismans onto Du Yue’s body and spoke indifferently.

The crowd didn’t understand.

Was this to vent anger by burning the corpse?

Only Gu Shimin immediately realized what was happening, her face turning pale.

Burning the corpse to vent anger? Not at all.

This was to obliterate Du Yue’s True Spirit, preventing him from entering Reincarnation!

To die completely!

Those three talismans, if she saw correctly, were the long-lost Spirit Extinguishing Talisman, Redemption Talisman, and Dust Settling Talisman!

The Spirit Extinguishing Talisman nullifies the True Spirit.

The Redemption Talisman extinguishes karma.

The Dust Settling Talisman means ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Once these three talismans were used, combined with the Spiritual Fire to burn the corpse, it meant total annihilation...

This kind of method was usually used by the predecessors against the most wicked.

To think that Ye Xuan also possessed such means!

At this moment, Gu Shimin’s view of Ye Xuan changed once again.

This guy, absolutely not to be trifled with!

"Follow Young Master Ye’s instructions!" Gu Shimin ordered sternly.

Upon hearing this, the crowd had no choice but to obey.

"The rest of you, step back. Do not speak of today’s events to anyone, or else your cultivation will be destroyed, and you will be expelled from the Red Sparrow Institute!" Gu Shimin spoke again.

"Yes, Ancient Ancestor!"

The crowd dared not say more and withdrew as commanded.

Before leaving, they covertly glanced at Ye Xuan, their eyes filled with fear.

True Person Red Lotus had the most complex expression.

Such a person would surely become famous in the East Desolate.

No...

In all of Daozhou!

"Young Master Ye, I have some questions for you."

After everyone had left, Gu Shimin spoke with a grave expression.
