Chapter 204 The Royal Family of Great Yan

During the unification of the Nine Abyss, as pilgrims gathered from all directions.

Outside the Nine Abyss, within the Great Yan Imperial City.

A graceful figure descended like a shooting star into the imperial city.

Inside the imperial palace, covering thousands of miles, the walls were like golden streams, exuding a noble aura. The palaces and mansions towered into the sky, magnificent and ancient.

Here resided all the elites of the Great Yan ancient kingdom.

Any royal or noble figure could take root here.

"Stop!"

A stern shout rang out, and several armored guards immediately soared into the sky, intercepting the graceful figure.

"I want to see the Emperor Father." The figure's speed didn't diminish, her voice cold and chilly, her clear face showing a mixture of sorrow and anger.

"It's Princess Xianghan, make way."

The guards immediately stepped aside, allowing the figure to enter the Emperor's palace.

Yan Xianghan, one of the many princesses of the Great Yan ancient kingdom, and the wife of Situ Gucheng. Upon learning that Situ Gucheng had perished, she rushed to the Emperor's palace to meet her father.

"Emperor Father, Emperor Father!"

Yan Xianghan descended and hurriedly called out in the palace. Many maids approached to pay their respects, but Yan Xianghan ignored them and went straight to the outside of the sleeping chamber.

"What's the matter with such urgency?"

Inside the sleeping chamber, a middle-aged man in a yellow robe was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his aura flowing as if in cultivation.

This man was the Emperor of the Great Yan ancient kingdom, Yan Qingyun.

As an immortal martial powerhouse, he commanded vast territories and numerous sects and families.

"Emperor Father, Gucheng has fallen." Yan Xianghan said sorrowfully.

"What!?"

Yan Qingyun, who was in cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes, his sharp gaze like a sword piercing through the clouds, extremely terrifying.

No one knew the relationship between him and Situ Gucheng.

On the surface, Situ Gucheng was his son-in-law, but in reality, Situ Gucheng was his mentor in cultivation.

Although Situ Gucheng had some talent, in the context of the Great Yan ancient kingdom, he was somewhat lacking. How could he become a marquis of a country and occupy a noble position?

Just like Ye Feng back then, he was revered in an era within the Xuan Tian Empire.

But once he stepped out of the Xuan Tian Empire and the Nine Abyss, he realized how insignificant he was. Even joining hands with the Holy Maiden of the Sky Pavilion, they faced life-threatening dangers and were forcibly separated.

How could Situ Gucheng fare any better?

Even if Yan Xianghan was willing, Yan Qingyun might not easily agree.

But Situ Gucheng was very clever, shuttling between Yan Qingyun and Situ Bahuang, borrowing from each other, becoming the marquis of the Great Yan ancient kingdom. Situ Bahuang appointed him as the heir and helped him undergo the process of spiritualization and cultivation of complete rules.

Situ Gucheng was like a barehanded catcher who managed to trap two wolves.

"What happened?" Yan Qingyun stood up, his expression turning cold.

"Three days ago, Gucheng went to the Nine Abyss, but he never returned and fell in the Nine Abyss." Yan Xianghan said sadly.

"The Nine Abyss." Yan Qingyun frowned.

The Nine Abyss, in the Canglan continent, had always been a mysterious place, where the Nine Abyss ancient dynasty once stood.

In the thirteen domains of the Canglan continent, the ruler of the Wanhuan domain was not originally the Holy Maiden of the Sky Pavilion.

It was dominated by the Nine Abyss ancient dynasty.

Back then, the Nine Abyss ancient dynasty was like the current Holy Land of the Heavenly Dao, ruling over the thirteen domains and making the world submit.

However, for some reason, the Nine Abyss ancient dynasty suddenly perished, but the whereabouts of the emperors of the Nine Abyss dynasty were unknown, shrouded in mystery.

"The Great Yan ancient kingdom has always been closely monitoring the Nine Abyss. Situ Bahuang, the number one figure in the Nine Abyss, is also by no means an enemy of Situ Gucheng. Who could have killed Situ Gucheng, even without giving him a chance to escape?"

Yan Qingyun's expression became solemn.

He knew Situ Gucheng's strength.

Although he appeared to be at the Seventh Stage of the Saint Martial Realm, he was actually at the Transcendent Seventh Stage, comparable to the average Ninth Stage of the Saint Martial Realm. Even if he was at the peak of the Saint Martial Realm, it would take some effort to kill him.

Could there still be a peak Saint Martial Realm expert in the Nine Abyss?

"Did Gucheng go alone?" Yan Qingyun asked.

"He took the Eighteen Situ Army with him." Yan Xianghan said.

"What!?" Yan Qingyun's expression changed again.

The reason Situ Gucheng could rank as a marquis was not only because he was Yan Qingyun's son-in-law, but also because of Situ Gucheng's own strength, as well as the eighteen Situ Army he trained.

In the Great Yan ancient kingdom, the strength foundation of Gucheng Marquis was enough to rank in the top ten among many marquises.

How could such strength be annihilated in the Nine Abyss?

"Send someone to quickly investigate the matter in the Nine Abyss." Yan Qingyun dared not underestimate it and even took it very seriously.

Could it be that Situ Gucheng was involved in the secret of the Nine Abyss?

Regardless of whether he was or not, perhaps in the Nine Abyss, one could find some other tradition of cultivation. How could Yan Qingyun not take it seriously?

The intelligence investigation of the Great Yan ancient kingdom was quite powerful. Moreover, such a major event occurred in the Nine Abyss, and the neighboring Great Yan ancient kingdom could not be unaware of it.

Otherwise, it would not be called an ancient kingdom.

Soon, complete information was laid out in front of Yan Qingyun. After reading it carefully, both Yan Qingyun and Yan Xianghan were shocked and incredulous.

"Seventeen years old, Seventh Stage of the Saint Martial Realm, dominating the Nine Abyss and reviving the ancient dynasty... This, this is impossible..."

Yan Xianghan kept shaking her head, even questioning the authenticity of the information. Situ Gucheng, along with the Eighteen Situ Army, was killed by a seventeen-year-old teenager with only the Fifth Stage of the Saint Martial Realm. Moreover, he only used one palm and wiped them all out?

"Seventeen years old, Fifth Stage of the Saint Martial Realm, is it possible?"

Yan Qingyun's expression became serious, his gaze focused.

"Is it possible for what?" Yan Xianghan looked at Yan Qingyun puzzledly.

"No, even so, Gucheng's realm still exceeds the opponent by two stages." Yan Qingyun shook his head.

He speculated that Ye Chen had also mastered the complete rules of cultivation, but even so, Situ Gucheng's realm still surpassed him by two levels, and his eighteen Gucheng troops were also one level stronger.

Nineteen people couldn't withstand a single palm from the opponent, which was too terrifying.

It was truly unbelievable.

"Father Emperor, we must avenge Gucheng. He is not only your son-in-law but also the King of Gucheng of the Great Yan Ancient Country. The ancient country of Great Yan cannot stand idly by." Yan Xianghan didn't care about anything else; she just wanted to avenge Situ Gucheng.

"Naturally."

Yan Qingyun nodded solemnly and ordered, "Send the Yan Yun Army to the Ninth Abyss, capture Ye Wujin, and bring him to the imperial city. Remember, he must be captured alive."

There must be secrets on Ye Wujin's body, and he must be captured to be interrogated.

The Yan Yun Army is the strongest force in the Great Yan Ancient Country, all composed of peak Saint Warriors, numbering in the tens. Each of them is not weaker than Situ Gucheng.

It is the strongest force in Yan Qingyun's hands.

"Thank you, Father Emperor."

Yan Xianghan felt relieved.

The Yan Yun Army is the foundation of the country, which Yan Qingyun has never mobilized before. It is unexpected that they would be dispatched for Gucheng's revenge this time.

With this, everything is predetermined.

Even if Ye Wujin is strong and monstrous, can he still contend with the entire Yan Yun Army?
