Chapter 957: Chapter 954: Unspoken Rules

"A mysterious person from the Heavenly Termination Residence on North Street has kidnapped Yao Yueqing, and they are asking for Ye Xuan to go alone. Don’t blame this old man for not telling you!"

Gong Bozhong spoke coldly.

Upon hearing this, the Qiankun Ancestor stood up abruptly, and the chess piece in Zhang Qingfeng’s hand fell onto the board. He turned to look at Gong Bozhong, his gaze as sharp as a knife.

In that moment, Gong Bozhong felt like a leaf in a raging wind, unable to find any footing!

Gong Bozhong’s heart was in turmoil. How could these two be so powerful!?

Zhang Qingfeng looked at Gong Bozhong and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure it’s the Heavenly Termination Residence on North Street?"

Gong Bozhong’s face was pale as he put away his irreverence and replied truthfully, "That’s what the person told us."

Zhang Qingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, not speaking, but his heart was far from calm.

The Heavenly Termination Residence on North Street, others may not know, but having been here for ninety thousand years, how could he not?

In the vast Empty Ancient City, even those who serve as runners here have earth-shattering power, so anyone with a residence must be an ancient powerhouse.

Even as an old Heavenly Master renowned in the Xuanhuang Great World, he only had a remote courtyard.

The Heavenly Termination Residence on North Street, this is the residence of the Heavenly Termination Ancient Emperor from ancient times!

Why would the people of Heavenly Termination Residence let Emperor Ye go alone? And even use Yao Yueqing as leverage!

At this moment, Qiankun Ancestor’s expression was also uncertain. He didn’t look at Gong Bozhong but turned to walk towards the house.

Once outside, the Qiankun Ancestor gently knocked on the door and whispered, "Master, something’s happened..."

The door opened, and Ye Xuan stepped out, calmly saying, "I know."

"Master, should I go instead?" the Qiankun Ancestor whispered.

He understood very well that their master’s current strength was limited. Heading to the Heavenly Termination Residence on North Street would be a deathtrap!

As a subordinate, he absolutely could not let his master fall into danger!

Ye Xuan waved his hand and said, "If that person wants me to go alone, then I will go alone."

"Ye... young master," Zhang Qingfeng originally wanted to call him Emperor Ye, but considering Gong Bozhong and others were present, he changed his words to young master and gravely said, "Let’s discuss it first; after all, it’s the Heavenly Termination Residence on North Street."

"Yes, master," the Qiankun Ancestor also advised.

"Those who dare to touch Ye Xuan will find this Heavenly Termination Residence on North Street erased from the Empty Ancient City today," Ye Xuan said coldly.

"If the young master insists on going, then I will accompany you," Zhang Qingfeng said solemnly.

The Qiankun Ancestor also stood behind Ye Xuan.

Gong Bozhong saw this scene and couldn’t help but quietly remind, "The mysterious person insisted Ye Xuan must go alone, or they would receive Yao Yueqing’s corpse."

"Are you teaching my master how to do things?" The Qiankun Ancestor glanced coldly at Gong Bozhong.

Gong Bozhong was instantly terrified, bowing his head and daring not to say more.

"You all stay here, a mere Heavenly Termination Residence on North Street is nothing. I came to the Empty Ancient City precisely to take a stroll," Ye Xuan said slowly.

"But..." the Qiankun Ancestor still wanted to say something.

"No buts, if you don’t listen, I’ll send you back to the Qiankun Palace," Ye Xuan said flatly.

The Qiankun Ancestor hastily closed his mouth.

Seeing this, Zhang Qingfeng knew he couldn’t change the situation, so he sighed and cupped his hands, saying, "Young master, be careful."

Ye Xuan walked away, but when passing by Gong Bozhong, he paused and said lightly, "Why is it you who brought the news?"

Gong Bozhong’s heart trembled and he quickly said, "We happened to meet Yueqing on North Street."

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "I can vaguely smell the scent of lies."

Gong Bozhong’s face turned somewhat pale, and he bowed his head, saying, "My words are all true!"

Ye Xuan looked at the Shaking Light Ancient Sect’s people outside the courtyard and randomly pointed at an Elder, saying, "You tell me if his words are true."

The pointed Elder’s face was ashen, stumbling over his words, "It’s, it’s true."

"Qiankun Pot," Ye Xuan said flatly.

A murderous gleam flashed in the Qiankun Ancestor’s eyes, and without any visible movement, that Saint King level Elder lost his head immediately, blood splattering.

He died on the spot!

The people of the Shaking Light Ancient Sect were terrified, some unable to bear it, especially the participating Elders, whose scalps tingled.

As for the disciples, they were already in disarray.

As disciples of the Shaking Light Ancient Sect, they were considered superior in the Central Earth, but upon entering this Primordial Land, they were mere ants, without any voice, simply going with the flow.

Ye Xuan pointed at another Elder, indifferently saying, "You, speak."

The Elder fell to the ground in terror, shaking his head continuously, "I don’t know, I know nothing."

Before absolute power, even an Elder of the Shaking Light Ancient Sect, who thought they had seen many things, could not hide their fear.

"Really don’t know?" Ye Xuan’s lips curled slightly.

At this moment, to the Shaking Light Ancient Sect’s people, Ye Xuan seemed like an ancient demon, killing without blinking.

The Elder’s mind was collapsing, shaking his head repeatedly, "No, I don’t know."

Bam!

Without Ye Xuan needing to say more, the Qiankun Ancestor killed with a flick of his finger.

Another Elder fell.

Gong Bozhong’s eyelids twitched constantly, the psychological pressure doubling, but he did not dare admit the truth of his actions.

He was sure that if he confessed, death would be the only outcome!

Now, he could only grit his teeth, no matter how Ye Xuan probed, he could not tell the truth.

He was betting that Ye Xuan would not return from the Heavenly Termination Residence on North Street.

Only then could they survive!

Before coming here, Gong Bozhong never imagined that the old man beside Ye Xuan would be so terrifying!

It was completely beyond his expectations!

This person was no Immortal but a... Supreme!

He didn’t know what kind of misfortune had befallen him to encounter such world-class powerhouses in such a short span of time!

"Keep them here, they must not leave until I return," Ye Xuan instructed without pressing further as he stepped out of the courtyard.

He understood that no matter how much he asked, these people wouldn’t tell the truth.

It was better to rescue Yao Yueqing and let her speak.

The Heavenly Termination Residence on North Street...

The Heavenly Termination Ancient Emperor, was it?

Qiankun Ancestor and the old Heavenly Master Zhang Qingfeng were filled with worry.

Meanwhile, Gong Bozhong was feeling ill at ease, praying that Ye Xuan would not return from the North Street Heavenly Termination Residence.

Yet, at that moment, it seemed as if Qiankun Ancestor saw through Gong Bozhong’s thoughts, and with a nonchalant look said, "Let them stay here, and don’t let them leave until I come back."

Gong Bozhong felt his whole being collapse.

————

"Heavenly Termination has made a move."

"His recklessness will allow us to see whether the Undying Night Emperor has truly shed his undying nature."

"If he has, then we wait for his return. Only then can we survive!"

Butcher Mysterious Battle Saber Emperor, who was selling pork today, originally in a good mood, suddenly felt uneasy or something, and grumbled in a low voice, "A bunch of idle busybodies, can’t you be quiet, do you really want to draw out all the City Soldiers of the Empty Ancient City?"

Gong Bozhong, the Emperor General of Xuantian Ancient Country, originally furious, suddenly furrowed his brows and murmured, "Is a fight about to begin again?"

The actions of the Heavenly Termination Residence bring about significant consequences for the Empty Ancient City.

There is forbidden power within the Empty Ancient City.

However, the butcher Mysterious Battle Saber Emperor had once advised the Xuantian Saint Heir and others that they couldn’t use their power to destroy things.

People in the Empty Ancient City all understood one unspoken rule.

Those living within the city don’t need to mind the laws of the Empty Ancient City.

And similarly, because people are just entering the city today, everything seems calm.

But, the actions of the Heavenly Termination Residence have far-reaching impacts on the Empty Ancient City.
