Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Xiao Yi fell into the royal city.

His divine sense instantly covered the entire city, every plant and tree was perceived by his divine sense.

Even the dewdrops hanging on a spiderweb couldn't escape his perception.

But what he couldn't understand was that the royal city, home to ten billion people, was now like a dead city, a ghost city, without a single living person.

No!

It's not just that there are no living people.

There's not even a trace of living beings, not even corpses.

He did not know that the ten billion inhabitants of the city had long become the blood sacrifice for Wang Sichong's resurrection.

"How strange..."

Xiao Yi felt more and more perplexed.

He shuddered slightly.

The God Devouring Ant Queen hovered behind him, and under a flash of golden light, tens of thousands of God Devouring Ants appeared out of thin air. Under Xiao Yi's command, they spread out in all directions of the royal city.

With these all-pervasive God Devouring Ants investigating, Xiao Yi himself felt much relieved.

Soon after.

Xiao Yi sensed something and arrived at the ancestral shrine of the Wang Family.

Beneath this ancestral shrine, the God Devouring Ants discovered the dark palace.

Xiao Yi easily broke into this ownerless palace, and as he searched, he saw the already opened dark coffin. His pupils suddenly shrank: "Is this the Coffin of Rebirth? The legendary treasure that could seal all, cutting off the loss of life force. Why is it here? Moreover..."

Staring at the open coffin.

Xiao Yi's heart trembled sharply, and he vaguely felt that whatever was in the coffin had already come out.

"Who's inside this Coffin of Rebirth?"

"Is the disappearance of the inhabitants of the royal city related to it?"

Xiao Yi's sword-like eyebrows knitted together.

The unknown situation is always the most fearsome.

"No matter what, the situation here still needs to be reported to the Pavilion Master and let him worry about it!" Xiao Yi shrugged; after all, he was about to leave the Unharmed Heaven Realm, no matter what monster crawled out of the coffin, it wouldn't be his headache!

Meanwhile.

Inside the Heavenly Tao Pavilion, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Tao Pavilion couldn't help but sneeze and rubbed his nose with a puzzled expression: "Is someone plotting against me?"

......

Qinglong City.

the Teng Family.

Bai Wu, Teng Feixue, and others stood before the spirit hall, looking at the floating golden God Devouring Ants in front of them, and took a scroll from the God Devouring Ants' mouths.

On the scroll it was written - The entire Wang Family has perished!

Extermination!

The Wang Family, the greatest threat to the Teng Family, had been exterminated!

This danger was completely eliminated!

Teng Feiying and others were wildly joyful, shouting hysterically: "It's over, the greatest crisis of our Teng Family is finally over..."

"As expected of the Saint Heir Xiao, he resolved the Wang Family overnight..."

Bai Wu was also extremely excited.

What's more, he felt fortunate.

Having bet on Xiao Yi before his complete rise, now it was really paying off!

In the crowd.

Only Teng Feixue stood out from the others, her face showing confusion as she looked at the God Devouring Ants gradually disappearing from view, wanting to reach out but unable to grasp them.

Tears welled up in her eyes, her lips pressed tightly: "Do you really not want to see me? Not even willing to meet one last time?"

Regrettably...

The heartfelt wishes of a lovesick girl, Xiao Yi could never hear them.

......

Heavenly Tao Pavilion.

Xiao Yi returned to the sect once again.

Right at the entrance, he ran into the First Peak Master, who flew over as soon as he saw Xiao Yi, with a tone carrying a hint of urgency: "You went too far, didn't you? Getting all worked up is one thing, but do you really need to annihilate the entire royal city from top to bottom?"

The Second Peak Master also came over upon hearing the news: "Xiao Yi, there must be some misunderstanding, right? Quickly explain, rumors are spreading wildly outside that you, in a fit of rage for a beauty, exterminated the entire Wang Family of ten billion..."

Looking at their anxious and worried faces, Xiao Yi's lips curled slightly upward.

Even if they were rebuking.

In fact, it was for his own good.

Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "Rest assured, it wasn't me who killed those of the Wang Family. By the time I arrived at the royal city, it had already become an empty city..." Pausing, he continued, "I discovered the Coffin of Rebirth under the ancestral shrine of the Wang Family, whatever was inside had already escaped, and if we're not mistaken, the one that exterminated the Wang Family may very well be that thing..."

"Coffin of Rebirth?"

"How is that possible? The method to create the Coffin of Rebirth has been lost for a long time..."

"What if that person is an ancient existence surviving from the Nine Heavens Domain?"

"Are you referring to that legendary ancestor of the Wang Family?"

"Is that possible?"

Everyone looked at each other in surprise.

At this moment.

The voice of the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Tao Pavilion echoed in the ears of the First and Second Peak Masters: "You two, go personally to the royal city and bring back that Coffin of Rebirth..."

"Yes!"

The two quickly nodded.

The Pavilion Master continued: "Xiao Yi, after handling everything, come to the Heavenly Tao Grand Hall to find me!"

Xiao Yi was taken aback, then nodded: "Alright!"

He knew it was time to leave.

Whoosh!

Xiao Yi exhaled a long breath, looking at the First and Second Peak Masters, and said: "You two, after this farewell, when we meet again, the azure seas will have become mulberry fields. Take care of yourselves!"

"Nonsense! Although our speed is not as fast as yours, it won't take us long to make a trip to the royal city!"

"I suspect you're boasting about your speed... Get lost already, the Pavilion Master probably has important matters for you..."

The First and Second Peak Masters chimed in.

Xiao Yi grinned, swallowing the words of farewell and simply waved, "Did you all see through that? Alright, I admit it, when it comes to speed, you two are trash..."

"..."

The two raised their middle fingers at Xiao Yi simultaneously.

"Hahaha..."

The three exchanged smiles, then split into two groups.

The First and Second Peak Masters headed straight for the royal city.

This was also the Pavilion Master's way to send them away; otherwise, with their Saint King Realm cultivation, they would definitely sense it the moment the boundary passage was opened.

Xiao Yi entered the Heavenly Tao Grand Hall alone.

At this moment, the grand hall was empty except for the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Tao Pavilion alone.

He stood with his back to Xiao Yi.

With his hands behind his back.

Looking up at the dome of the Heavenly Tao Grand Hall.

There, billions of stars sparkled, as if the boundless sky was encompassed within this very dome.

The soft voice of the Pavilion Master slowly emerged: "Martial arts are like this vast night sky, and we are like one of the many shining stars within it. Xiao Yi, which one do you think you are?"

Xiao Yi was momentarily bewildered and looked up.

After a moment.

He pointed to the dimmest one and said with a smile: "That one!"

"Hmm?"

The Pavilion Master was puzzled, "That one? Its light is dim, yet you are radiant and peerless; why do you see yourself as it?"

Xiao Yi grinned broadly and said: "A firefly up close can outshine the brightest star. And that dimmest star, which is the farthest from us in the sky, its light can still reach here, proving that its light is indeed the most magnificent and enduring in the starry sky..."

The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Tao Pavilion fell into thoughtful silence.

The brightest-looking star in the sky might only be so because it is close.

While the dim one...

Even across endless distance, its light still reaches here.

It won't be as dark as it seems!

The Pavilion Master laughed heartily: "Good, good, good, Xiao Yi, may you truly be like that star, the most brilliant and enduring in this world!"

"I will not let the Pavilion Master down!" Xiao Yi bowed to him with a respectful gesture.

The Pavilion Master nodded and said, "Go on!"

Xiao Yi took a deep breath, swung his arm, and a void passage appeared: "Qingtian Realm, I'm back!"
