Chapter 539 - 539 558 Killing People Annihilating Hearts

539: Chapter 558: Killing People, Annihilating Hearts 539: Chapter 558: Killing People, Annihilating Hearts Now it may not seem apparent, but from the view of a Saint, Ye Xuan’s Cultivation is too fragile.

However, if in the future he ascends to the Saint Realm, all the favors he owes will need to be repaid.

Forming karmic ties with a Saint, this is a great horror between life and death, one misstep, and you’re accounted by the Saint.

This is also why after Ye Xuan ascended to the position of Heavenly Emperor, he never went to Biyou Palace to meet the Heavenly Sect Master.

He feared that the Heavenly Sect Master would help him too much, and when he stood at the pinnacle, he would have to repay the Heavenly Sect Master’s favor.

Therefore, the Four Immortal Slaying Swords cannot be borrowed!

Of course, Ye Xuan’s intention to marry Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden did not mean he was in love with her, but only because the Heavenly Court still lacked a Queen Mother, and only the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden was suitable for the title of Queen Mother.

The most critical issue was, in the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth, Ye Xuan found a delightful circumstance, that during the perfect harmony with Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden, his own Cultivation greatly increased.

This must be the effect of the Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Dao.

Otherwise, how could he have broken into the Fourth Layer Heaven of Daluo?

Moreover, with the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden backed by Nuwa Palace, if she could become the Queen Mother, it would greatly benefit Ye Xuan.

From start to finish, Ye Xuan merely viewed the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden as a tool, devoid of any genuine emotional attachment.

Furthermore, as Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden was already his woman, although Ye Xuan did not like her, how could he tolerate others touching a woman he had been with?

Though Ye Xuan followed the Heartless Dao, he was still a man; how could he let others touch a woman he had been with?

This kind of insult was utterly intolerable to Ye Xuan.

Thus, he must go to Nuwa Palace in a hundred years; otherwise, allowing others to marry Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden would constitute the greatest insult to him.

Additionally, Ye Xuan was not foolish; he could fully understand Nuwa’s intentions.

This was a test for him.

If he could not defeat various formidable enemies, how could he be qualified to peer into the Saint Realm?

Thud, thud, thud!

While Ye Xuan was contemplating, a series of footsteps came from outside Lingxiao Palace, soon Gold Star Taibai’s excited voice filled the hall even before he arrived.

“Reporting to the Heavenly Emperor, Nezha and his son have already been captured by the Heavenly Sect Master and brought back to the Heavenly Court.

Their army of one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals have all surrendered and are now waiting outside the South Heavenly Gate for the Heavenly Emperor’s decision.”

As the words of Gold Star Taibai concluded, Ye Xuan was pulled from his thoughts, temporarily setting aside the matter of Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden.

“Defected from the Heavenly Court and left a letter of departure, Nezha and his son should be taken to the Immortal Slaying Stage,” said Shi Ji Niangniang bitterly, clearly wishing death upon all those of the Chan Sect lineage.

Ye Xuan stood from the throne and stepped out toward Lingxiao Palace, prompting the Group of Immortals to hurriedly follow.

In front of the South Heavenly Gate!

Wang River Daoist, dressed in a yellow Daoist robe and holding a horsetail whisk, was surrounded by a faint Daluo Immortal Light.

Originally a Daluo Independent Immortal from the Earth Immortal Realm and a fourth-layer Daluo, he’d been serving Ye Xuan since pledging allegiance to him and was appointed as Patrol Angel.

When Nezha and his son led an army of one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals away from the Heavenly Court, Wang River Daoist personally volunteered to capture the two.

With his second-tier Daluo Cultivation, capturing Nezha and his son was effortlessly easy.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Heavenly Vault rumbled, the void buzzed, and as Ye Xuan and the Group of Immortals arrived on clouds, Wang River Daoist quickly stepped forward to greet Ye Xuan, bowing first and saying, “Greetings, Heavenly Emperor.”

“No need for formalities.”

Ye Xuan spoke, and as he looked up, he saw Nezha and his son bound by the Binding Immortal Rope, standing in front of the South Heavenly Gate, their eyes looking back at Ye Xuan with immense complexity.

“How bold, to not kneel immediately upon seeing the Heavenly Emperor?” Gold Star Taibai chastised Nezha and his father angrily.

“Hmph.”

Nezha coldly snorted, “Gold Star Taibai, you are truly shameless.

If it weren’t for your betrayal of the Jade Emperor back then, you would have probably died at the hands of Ye Xuan, right?”

“You…!”

Exposed for his past disgrace by Nezha, Gold Star Taibai flushed red with shame and anger, unable to utter a word, his gaze toward Nezha and his father filled with a chilling murderous intent.

Back then, his betrayal of the Jade Emperor had made everyone in the Three Realms curse him for his treachery, his greatest humiliation.

It had taken a thousand years to quiet those voices, but now, Nezha had publicly revealed his past misdeeds in front of the Group of Immortals in the Heavenly Court, how could he not hate Nezha and his father to the bone?

“Heavenly Emperor, please see clearly.

Nezha and his father have betrayed the Heavenly Court, they should be sent to the Immortal Slaying Stage and be denied reincarnation forever.

Otherwise, if others follow their example, our Heavenly Court will have no dignity left,” spoke Gold Star Taibai, his words filled with murderous intent as he bowed deeply to Ye Xuan.

“How I handle these two, surely I don’t need your directives to decide?” Ye Xuan spoke calmly, his gaze toward Gold Star Taibai carrying a hint of menace.

“Hisss!”

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Gold Star Taibai instantly came to his senses, sucking in a breath of cold air and beads of sweat forming on his forehead, he hastily retreated behind Ye Xuan, knowing his own words displeased Ye Xuan.

Thud—Thud—Thud.

Ye Xuan walked leisurely, but with each step he took, Nezha and his father’s expressions drastically changed, their eyes revealing a hint of despair, knowing they wouldn’t escape Ye Xuan’s wrath.

“Ye Xuan, if you want to kill us, just do it.

There’s no need to posture and flaunt your imperial authority here.

But let me tell you, if you are determined to eradicate our Chan Sect line and provoke a Saint to emerge, then you too will find yourself beyond redemption,” Nezha spoke furiously, his face showing no fear.

“Ye Xuan, as the saying goes, ‘where you can spare someone, you should.’ You are now the exalted Heavenly Emperor of the Three Realms, to you, my father and I are but mere ants.

If you let us go, from this day forward we vow never to oppose you.”

Li Jing trembled as he spoke, hoping Ye Xuan would not be too harsh.

“Oppose me?”

Hearing the father and son’s plea, Ye Xuan laughed, but his laughter was full of scorn and disdain.

“You father and son think you are fit to oppose me?” Ye Xuan stepped forward to the two men, his gaze icy, as if viewing mere livestock ready for slaughter.

“Father, there’s no need to beg this traitorous fiend.

Today we are surely to die by his hand, but even in death let us maintain our dignity,” Nezha harshly rebuked, clearly understanding better than Li Jing that Ye Xuan was a vicious figure who would not spare them.

“Pagoda-Bearing King!”

Ye Xuan’s lips curved into a slight smile, looking at Nezha’s eyes with a flicker of admiration, “Actually, I am not fond of killing, and I admire those unafraid of death like yourself.”

“Li Jing, I can actually give you an option.

If you personally execute Nezha, I can fully forgive your past actions, and you would still hold your position as Pagoda-Bearing King.

What do you think of this proposal?”

Like a devil whispering, ever tempting, Ye Xuan continued to smile, but his smile sent shivers coursed through both father and son.

To kill kin, to betray hearts, such means were too sinister and too cruel, yet it was an act Ye Xuan repeatedly favored, because only in life-and-death struggles could one truly witness human nature.

Now it remained to be seen whether Li Jing would personally execute Nezha on the spot to save his own life!
