Chapter 853: Chapter 385: Refusing to Clean Up the Mess
At the peak of Jiuyi Mountain, chaos had just settled.
Ye Qingzhou stood with his hands behind his back, surrounded by a swirling pattern of chaos, his left eye blazing like a scorching sun, and his right eye as deep as the eternal night.
Simply standing there, the laws of the entire world submitted to him, a magnificent dawn rose from his feet, pierced the nine skies, and painted the entire sky of Dongji Kingdom in a golden-red tapestry.
Thousands of miles away, alarms blared at the observation stations of the Western Pole Alliance, as satellite images showed that the energy readings of Dongji Kingdom had instantly surpassed the threshold.
The Martial God has descended, and heaven and earth celebrate!
Three days later, outside Jiuyi Mountain, the sea of clouds surged, and two figures stepped through the air to arrive.
The Nine Dragons Boxing Saint, Qi Shengtian, with a pale face, was covered in cracks of Daoic injuries from a failed ascension to divinity, but he still stood tall, clasping his hands in salute, "Ye Celestial Monarch, I have not managed my subordinates well, leading to Iron Hengjiang and Medicine Bodhi colluding with external enemies. I am here today to confess my guilt."
Behind him, Sikong Jingming held the Celestial Secret Compass, his eyes twinkling with starlight as if he could see through all things, but at this moment, he bowed his head in a salute and said in a deep voice, "The Divine Gang Dao has seized control of the entire Tie and Yao families, awaiting the Celestial Monarch’s decision."
The clouds at the mountain peak opened up on their own, and Ye Qingzhou’s voice fell like heavenly law, "Daoist Master Qi, in the battle against the Plague Knight in Xiangjiang, you blocked three fatal attacks for me, this friendship, I remember."
He glanced at the two of them, the chaos pattern slightly shifting, "But the matter of treason cannot be lightly pardoned."
The compass in Sikong Jingming’s hand suddenly shattered into three divination signs, this was the Celestial Secret warning—the person before him had transcended the bonds of destiny!
Half a day later, the Cyan Dragon Divine General of the Divine Strategy Army led three thousand Elemental Spirit Armored Warriors to descend upon Jiuyi Mountain. This military leader, who had once fought side by side with Ye Qingzhou, knelt on one knee, "By the Golden Order of the commander, the Tie and Yao families are to be punished for treason."
He presented a Jade Scroll, containing the verdict: children of the main branch were to have their cultivation abolished, imprisoned forever in the Western Border Dragon Remains Wilderness, accompanied by the yellow sands.
Collateral family members were to be exiled to the East Sea Eye, tasked with clearing the sea beasts.
As for the family industries, they were to be fully confiscated.
Ye Qingzhou lightly tapped the Jade Scroll with his fingertip, a strand of Chaotic Qi entered it, "Add one more condition, all involved must swear a Heart Demon oath before the Kunlun Mirror."
The Cyan Dragon Divine General’s pupils contracted, this was to cut off any chance of their resurgence completely!
Though the Kunlun Divine Mirror possessed by Dongji Kingdom was just a replica, under the Martial God, no one could break a Heart Demon oath sworn before the Kunlun Mirror.
With Iron Hengjiang and Medicine Bodhi dead, even the Tie and Yao families lost their Martial Saints, how could they break the oath?
But this had nothing to do with him, the Cyan Dragon Divine General agreed without hesitation.
That night, a chaotic thunder tribulation descended upon the ancestral land of the Tie family.
Ye Qingzhou pointed from afar, and the Soldier Evil Pavilion, which had been handed down for a thousand years, collapsed with a crash, the seventy-two heirloom weapons housed within melted into molten iron.
The Yao family’s medicine garden transformed into a bizarre scene under everyone’s watchful eyes.
The thousand-year spirit medicines regressed to seeds...
The poisonous pills converted entirely into life-saving medicines...
Even the names on the ancestral tablets vanished one by one, causing the ancestors of the Yao family in the Returning Ruins to be disturbed, a hundred times more brutal than having their bones ground to dust...
"Is this... the power to rewrite the rules?"
Sikong Jingming’s eyes oozed blood, merely deducing and peering from the shadows caused severe backlash, greatly damaging his Primordial Qi.
Clearly, deities cannot be gazed upon directly.
......
Linjiang Water Pavilion, the dusk deepened.
A gentle breeze brushed across the lake, creating rippling waves, the willows at the shore swayed softly, seemingly untouched by the passage of five years.
Ye Qingzhou stood under the gallery, his fingertips brushed over the familiar carved wooden railing, a faint smile played at his lips.
"This place... hasn’t changed a bit."
Xu Yuebing stood beside him, her gaze serene as water, and said softly, "I’ve had it cleaned regularly, everything is arranged just as it was when you left."
Youu An rushed from behind, embracing Ye Qingzhou’s arm, rubbing her small face affectionately, "Master! I missed you so!"
Ye Qingzhou chuckled, ruffling her hair, "Five years have passed, and you’re still just as fond of acting spoiled?"
Yingyue arrived with a tray of tea, reluctantly pulling Youu An away, "Stop messing around, let Sir and President Xu have a good talk."
Youu An pouted, reluctantly being dragged away, winking at Ye Qingzhou before leaving.
Only the two remained under the gallery, a gentle breeze caressing them, causing Xu Yuebing’s hair to flutter softly. Ye Qingzhou raised his hand, his fingertips lightly touching her cheek, the warm feeling deepened the color of his gaze.
"I’m back."
These simple three words made Xu Yuebing’s eyes well up with tears, she could no longer hold back, throwing herself into his arms, holding him tightly.
"Do you know... how scared I was these past five years..."
Ye Qingzhou gently held her waist, laughing softly, "Scared of what? That I wouldn’t return?"
Xu Yuebing mumbled an affirmative "Mm."
Ye Qingzhou lowered his head, placing a kiss on her hair, "I told you, I would never leave you."
Xu Yuebing pulled him down to sit, excitedly telling him about the past five years.
"The Divine Sword Group is now the largest private military industrial complex in Dongji Kingdom, the Celestial Spirit Engine has entered its second generation, and military orders are backed up for three years."
"The market response to the Life Creation Pill is excellent, not only does it repair meridian damage, but it also enhances the potential limit of martial artists."
"And our space transportation business, cooperating with Celestial Craft Group, we’ve secured contracts for transport between the Moon and Planet Mars, allowing Dongji Kingdom to establish colonial outposts on both, smoothly conducting scientific exploration and mining operations..."
Her speech grew increasingly animated, her eyes shining brightly, as if wanting to spill all the words she had saved over the past five years in one go.
Ye Qingzhou listened silently the entire time, without interrupting, only looking at Xu Yuebing with eyes as gentle as water.
