Chapter 1187: Chapter 1187: Ye Xuan Frightened
Not only was Ye Xuan startled, but even the three Saints following behind her were terrified, cold sweat dripping down their backs.
Is this young man the Xu Nian who destroyed the Imperial Dynasty?
The former Hall Master of the Divine River Palace?
The Artifact Refining Sect Master?
The more they thought about it, the more terrified the three Saints became.
If they had offended this guy earlier, their bodies would probably be cold by now.
Ye Xuan’s face turned pale, filled with fear.
"Are you really that demon Xu Nian?" Ye Xuan pointed at Xu Nian and asked.
"Probably," Xu Nian replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan’s face turned even paler, her expression one of utter shock.
"Xu Nian, Ye Xuan is still just a child. If you’re really going to blame someone, take it out on me. I’m willing to trade my life for hers." Ye Lan immediately shielded Ye Xuan, her eyes filled with determination.
Even before making a move, Ye Lan knew she was no match for Xu Nian.
Years ago, Xu Nian was already able to kill peak Battle Emperors, let alone after several years have passed!
"Exchange your life? What if I say you must become my slave for me to spare her, would you agree?" Xu Nian’s interest piqued, he said wickedly.
Ye Lan’s face changed instantly, then a look of defiance flashed in her eyes: "Fine, as long as you spare Ye Xuan, I’m willing to be your slave. You can do anything you want with me!"
"Anything really, like... you know!" Xu Nian laughed lewdly, wearing a lascivious expression.
Ye Lan’s face turned pale; she couldn’t believe Xu Nian had become so depraved.
The Xu Nian back then, though hateful, was not this sinister.
But there was nothing she could do, she truly feared that Xu Nian in anger might kill Ye Xuan and destroy the Ye Family.
"Okay, I agree!" Ye Xuan bit her lip, finally despairing.
"Sister Ye Lan, don’t agree with him. Let’s fight him." Ye Xuan, realizing the seriousness of the situation, quickly said.
At the same time, the eyes of the three Saints also filled with determination.
The next moment, they charged directly at Xu Nian.
Seeing this, Xu Nian smiled.
Such loyal servants, it seems the Ye Family has developed well in recent years.
"No!" Ye Lan was greatly alarmed and hurriedly tried to stop them.
However, it was too late, as the three Saints had already reached Xu Nian.
After all, they were quite close to each other from the start.
"Buzz!"
Just as the three Saints were about to strike Xu Nian, an invisible wave emanated from him as the center, spreading outwards.
The next moment, the three Saints were frozen in mid-air, unable to move.
Ye Lan and Ye Xuan were stunned, seeing the three death servants turn into statues, filled with shock.
What kind of technique was this?
After years of not seeing each other, to what level had Xu Nian’s power reached?
It’s over!
All is over!
The Ye Family is likely to be destroyed!
Ye Lan was in utter despair.
Ye Xuan was also filled with regret, knowing that this disaster she had brought upon the Ye Family.
Seeing the despair on the two women’s faces, Xu Nian smiled.
He then took a step forward, appearing ghost-like in front of Ye Lan.
As Xu Nian moved away, the three Saints were instantly freed, their gazes towards Xu Nian filled with extreme terror, not daring to attack again.
"I’m not here to make trouble, I was just joking earlier. Ye Lan, although your appearance and figure are not bad, they are still slightly lacking," Xu Nian said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ye Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, her eyes filled with anger.
What did he mean by ’still slightly lacking’?
She was considered the number one beauty of the Ye Family.
Even if her looks were not as good as Leng Yanran, she was still a goddess admired by countless cultivators.
"You don’t have to look at me like that, unless you really want me to do something to you?" Xu Nian laughed again.
Ye Lan immediately restrained her gaze, afraid to say another word.
If Xu Nian really wanted to do something, based on that earlier display, she truly had no power to resist.
"Since you’re not here to trouble the Ye Family, why won’t you leave?" Ye Lan asked again.
"I told Ye Xuan before, inviting a god is easy, sending one away is hard. I want to see to what extent your Ye Family has developed under Emperor Xing, and whether you’ve done any heinous things over the years," Xu Nian said with a smile.
He came to the Imperial Capital specifically to deal with Emperor Xing.
Since the Ye Family and Fang Family have submitted to Emperor Xing, Xu Nian naturally has to consider whether to destroy them as well.
Ye Lan understood what Xu Nian meant and immediately said, "Although our Ye Family submitted to Emperor Xing, we have never done anything heinous. Only Ye Xuan has caused trouble, harming some people, but our Ye Family will punish her for that."
Xu Nian waved his hand, indifferent to Ye Xuan’s matters.
He wasn’t a saint and certainly wouldn’t seek justice from Ye Xuan over some lives.
His real purpose in coming here was to see the Ye Family’s loyalty to Emperor Xing, whether it was wholehearted.
It seems the Ye Family’s submission to Emperor Xing was just a matter of circumstances.
Of course, there was another purpose.
"Since your Ye Family’s submission to Emperor Xing was out of necessity, I won’t specifically target you. Take me to your Family Head, I want to know where the Xu Family and the Leng Family went," Xu Nian asked.
"The Xu Family and the Leng Family?" Ye Lan immediately realized Xu Nian’s true intent.
The Xu Family and the Leng Family left the Imperial Capital, and no one knows where they went.
This has always been a mystery on the continent. Xu Nian wants to find them, that’s why he came to the Ye Family for information.
"Do you know?" Xu Nian asked.
Ye Lan shook her head: "I don’t know, this matter is unknown to almost everyone in the Imperial Capital."
"Take me to your Family Head first," Xu Nian said, disappointed.
"Alright, I’ll take you to see the Family Head. But I can’t guarantee they’ll know where the Xu Family and Leng Family are. Those two families disappeared overnight, and it’s still a major mystery in the Imperial Capital," Ye Lan said.
Xu Nian nodded, not having much hope.
But he was sure that the disappearance of the Xu Family and the Leng Family had something to do with the disappearance of the Beast God and the Dark God Island Master.
Perhaps they are together now.
"Follow me," Ye Lan said to Xu Nian.
At the same time, she instructed the two remaining Saints: "Go to Tianya Pavilion and inform all the Supreme Elders including Master Ye Guyun to go to Tianxin Hall, saying that the esteemed guest Xu Nian has come to visit the Ye Family."
"Yes!" The three Saints immediately complied, leaving as afterimages.
Xu Nian smiled slightly, showing no concern.
Following behind Ye Lan, he walked towards the depths of the Ye Family.
Ye Xuan followed behind Ye Lan, constantly glancing at Xu Nian, eyes filled with a mix of anger and fear.
Xu Nian made a face at Ye Xuan.
Scared, Ye Xuan’s face turned deathly pale, like a frightened little cat, not daring to make any move.
Seeing this, Xu Nian burst into laughter, extremely pleased!
Ye Lan could only shake her head helplessly, feeling deeply frustrated.
