Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Chapter 694 - 692: Ye Heng Disappeared! [Second Update]

"Ancestor, who exactly is the heretical figure?"

Yang Zun took the opportunity to ask softly while seeing off Yang Dingtian.

Yang Dingtian glanced at him with a flicker of indescribable color in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "The heretical figure is a rebel who goes against the righteous path. They are the sinners spurned by this world, the source of all evil, attempting to overturn all things under the heavens. Every heretical figure deserves to die. The existence of the sacred lands is to root out these heretics and maintain the justice and balance of the world."

Yang Zun nodded repeatedly, "So the heretical figures pose such a great danger. But Ancestor, with the sacred lands' strength being so formidable, why must we take action to hunt and kill the heretical figures?"

Xiao Yi's face was expressionless, but his heart was also filled with great doubt.

These were all questions he had instructed Yang Zun to ask.

Regarding this Heavenly Southern Hunt and Kill Order, he had many questions as well.

Yang Dingtian frowned slightly, a streak of cold light flashing in his deep, starry eyes as he spoke indifferently, "The sacred lands themselves have places they need to protect. Moreover, the strength of the heretical figures coming to Southern State won't be too formidable, the strongest not surpassing the Human Venerate Realm. If my sacred land were to act, wouldn't that be beneath our dignity? Why, are you unwilling to serve the Nantian Sacred Land?"

There was a hint of coldness in his voice.

It caused Yang Zun's face to change slightly.

He had thought that as the founding emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, Yang Dingtian would naturally speak his mind freely to his own ancestor.

But seeing Yang Dingtian's attitude, Yang Zun realized he had thought too much; the person before him might have once been the founding emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, but now he was simply Nantian Sacred Land's Yang Dingtian. Yang Zun sighed inwardly and said solemnly, "Ancestor, rest assured; our Daqian Dynasty will spare no effort in hunting and killing the heretical figures!"

"Hmm!"

Yang Dingtian nodded, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Yi, and said, "The Nantian Dynasty has also received the Heavenly Southern Hunt and Kill Order. Until the order concludes, neither side is allowed to engage in any warfare. You may rest assured of this fact!"

This was his way of telling Xiao Yi and the others that as long as the Heavenly Southern Hunt and Kill Order was in effect, the Nantian Dynasty wouldn't be able to make a move against the Daqian Dynasty.

It also served to put Xiao Yi and the others at ease, encouraging them to focus all their efforts on

"Ancestor, have a safe journey!"

"Senior, take care!"

Xiao Yi and the others bowed and sent him off.

Whoosh!

Yang Dingtian tore through the space before him, leaving with two young men through the air.

After he had gone...

Xiao Yi's smile faded, and seeing that everyone was looking at him, he said solemnly, "Let's discuss this back at home!"

A moment later.

They had returned to the royal palace.

The atmosphere seemed somewhat oppressive.

Bai Fa Sword Emperor spoke in a heavy tone, "What should we do? Shall we pursue and kill those rebels?"

Xiao Yi looked toward Yang Ling, "Yang Ling, what do you think?"

"I think..."

Yang Ling hadn't expected Xiao Yi to ask for his opinion, hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "At least we currently do not have the capital to contend with the Nantian Holy Land, and moreover, we do not know what type of existence these so-called rebels are. My suggestion is to first distribute the rebel-detecting stones among our soldiers, letting them conduct investigations within the country..."

"In addition to deploying our troops, distribute some rebel-detecting stones to the disciples of the Xiaoshanhe Institute as well, so that they may join in the search!"

Xiao Yi intended as much when he said, "Let's do this for now! Once we discover the whereabouts of any rebels, do not act recklessly, and immediately inform us!"

"Yes!"

Yang Ling nodded.

Half a day later.

Both the Daqian Dynasty and the Nantian Dynasty had begun a carpet-style search.

For these mysterious rebels,

the Daqian Dynasty knew far too little.

On the contrary...

The Nantian Dynasty had endured not just once, they knew far more about the intricacies, but they would definitely not reveal any information about the rebels to the Daqian Dynasty.

As a result, by the time the Nantian Dynasty had already captured several rebels, the Daqian Dynasty had yet to uncover any.

It was not until seven days later.

Ye Heng, leading a hundred-man team from the Xiaoshanhe Institute, wielding the rebel-detecting stones in the northern part of the Daqian Dynasty, the former territory of the Sword Dynasty, discovered the traces of a group of rebels.

Ye Heng immediately had the news sent back, and he led his team to monitor the rebels' movements.

However...

When the Shadow Demon arrived at the area after receiving the news, he found that Ye Heng and all the disciples from the Xiaoshanhe Institute had disappeared.

Without leaving any trace.

As if they had vanished into thin air.

Amidst the dense mountains, Shadow Demon stood in the chaotic wind, a bewildered expression on his face as large cold beads of sweat rolled down, "This is bad, Ye Heng must have been captured by the rebels. How am I going to explain this to the Hall Master?"

Zhang Ling squinted his eyes, his face revealing a grave expression.

Ye Heng was Xiao Yi's own top disciple, blessed with the Battle War Holy Body, and had even broken through to the Tao Tribulation Realm with the help of Blood Qi Tower.

His combat power was in no way inferior to that of a typical Tao Tribulation Realm Peak, and he could even escape from the clutches of a first-level power in the Dharma Manifestation Realm.

With such strength, coupled with a few dozen elite disciples from the Xiaoshanhe Institute, they had all disappeared without noise or trace.

The strength of the opponent must not be underestimated!

At this thought,

Zhang Ling looked toward the Shadow Demon and said in a solemn voice, "Hall Master, the situation here is beyond our control, we should notify the Hall Master as soon as possible!"

"That is the only way!"

Shadow Demon let out a sigh, took out a spiritual bird and released it, watching the bird disappear into the distance, the Shadow Demon said in a low voice, "Those rebels had better pray that Ye Heng is unharmed, otherwise, the Hall Master will let them know what it means to wish they were dead..."
