Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial - Chapter 749

Chapter 749 – Getting Restless

A breeze pushed Wan Yitong back several steps.

“Ah Tong, your temper is getting worse and worse.” Wan Liyao shook his head. “But unfortunately, your skill hasn’t improved. You are a descendant of the Wan clan. You were born to control music and law, but just because of a man, you don’t even want your ancestors anymore. You really disappoint me.”

Wan Liyao was a peerless genius of the Wan family. His cultivation today had already far surpassed Wan Yitong’s, so Wan Yitong naturally couldn’t get the upper hand when fighting Wan Liyao.

Wan Yitong simply stopped attacking, sat in a chair, and snorted coldly. “None of your business!”

“How is it none of my business? During these years when I’ve been in secluded cultivation, you’ve been chasing after a wild man outside. It’s one thing for you to forget our family, but you even want to break away from the family for his sake. You’ve really grown wings now — you do whatever you want. This is not good.”

Wan Yitong glared at Wan Liyao and said, “The Wan family — I’ve had enough of it!”

“You’ve even had enough of me, your older brother?” Wan Liyao looked at Wan Yitong calmly. “If you dare to nod or say yes, you will see Bei Shitian’s decapitated corpse first thing tomorrow.”

Wan Yitong forcibly swallowed the words that almost came out of his mouth. Wan Liyao had always been a man who kept his word since he was a child; he was a madman.

So Wan Yitong stubbornly expressed his resistance with his eyes.

As if he hadn’t seen it, Wan Liyao said nonchalantly, “I’ll let bygones be bygones. It’s your business what trouble you make and what decisions you make, but you can never leave the Wan family.”

Wan Yitong stood up and slapped a hand on the table. “Why?”

“Just because you are my younger brother. I will never allow you to leave the Wan family.”

When Wan Yitong wanted to refute that, he heard Wan Liyao say, “You must have a family that can legitimately stand behind you and protect you, so that no matter which land you set foot on in the Nine Lands, I, Wan Liyao, will have a justified excuse to protect you from thousands of miles away!”

Wan Yitong was stunned.

He just stared at Wan Liyao blankly and couldn’t speak for a while.

Wan Liyao eventually said, “Speak.”Wan Yitong said with difficulty, “I’m with Bei Shitian now.”

Wan Yitong said, “I didn’t worry about that. The main reason is that Bei Shitian really accept the Wan family.”

Wan Liyao, “…”

The atmosphere was awkward for a while.

After a moment, Wan Liyao said, “It’s understandable to take revenge. The cultivation world is like this. The fist of the strong is much more powerful than that of the weak. But Ah Tong, if you can really watch him kill and destroy the Wan family, and remain indifferent while continuing to be with him without any objection, I will despise you.”

Wan Yixing couldn’t help smiling bitterly. “Brother, you really think highly of me. I can’t be completely indifferent. Bei Shitian said at that time that if I severed all ties with the Wan family, he was willing to give up the hatred of his clan.”

At that time, Bei Shitian said to him with red eyes, “Wan Yitong, I give up.”

He said, “Leave the Wan family, and I will not take revenge.”

Wan Yitong cried and said yes.

Now that he thought about it, Wan Yitong was still suffering in his heart.

Bei Shitian survived solely for the sake of revenge, but for him, Bei Shitian’s beliefs collapsed. For days and nights, Bei Shitian sat on top of a mountain without speaking to him.

Until Wan Yitong returned to the Wan family, erased his name from the family tree and was expelled, Bei Shitian finally walked out of his disappointment.

“Was he willing?” Wan Liyao couldn’t believe it. He was afraid that Bei Shitian tricked Wan Yitong.

“Bei Shitian said that since he had made this decision, he was already willing.” Wan Yitong sighed. “If he doesn’t give up, it’s impossible for me and him to be together in this life. He can’t resist me.”

Wan Liyao was silent for a moment and said, “That’s also good.”

As long as Wan Yitong was okay, everything was good.

Wan Yitong breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wan Liyao, “Elder brother, I didn’t mean to fight against my family, but the matter of evil Qi cultivators is really important. My master used the astrology platform to deduce fate a few days ago. I don’t know how much effort he spent. The results he divined are all catastrophic. In order not to cause unrest in the Nine Lands, few people know about this. And even if Yan Tianhen cultivated evil Qi, he would never kill people with evil Qi. Moreover, evil Qi cultivators understand other evil Qi cultivators the best. If we lock him up, we will suffer a great loss.”

Wan Liyao narrowed his eyes and looked at Wan Yitong. “As for the matter of Yan Tianhen, you don’t have to worry about it for the time being. He is bound to be locked up, so we have to wait for the evil Qi cultivators’ next move.”

Wan Yitong was at a loss. “Why?”

Wan Liyao narrowed his eyes. “That Huarong Sword Venerable really is incredible.”

…….

News that Yan Tianhen killed people with evil Qi in Myriad Dao Academy soon spread throughout the Nine Lands.

When the news reached the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital, the emperor was so furious that he decided to abolish Yan Tianhen’s position as the second heir and announced it to the whole world, denouncing that Yan Tianhen was disrespectful and unworthy of children and grandchildren.

He also ordered him to be sent back to the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital after taking the pill to cripple his own cultivation, where he’d then be imprisoned for 50 years without leaving the dungeon. This order was to be executed on the same day, and the emperor made it clear that he would completely cut off any of Yan Tianhen’s future roads.

King Ye and his consort, who had been staying put in the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital, went to see the emperor that day. However, the emperor couldn’t see anyone anyway because his wife was going to give birth.

“Shit, what the hell is that good father of yours doing?” You Ming was so angry that he shook the things on the table and jumped with anger. “Did something kick his brain? Even Myriad Dao Academy had no direct evidence that my family’s Ah Hen killed those people with evil Qi. How dare he!? Is he old and confused!?”

King Ye’s face was grave. He pulled the jumping You Ming and said, “I’ll let Xuan Wushe release them first and protect Ah Hen. Since the father’s imperial edict has been issued, in a few days, those Black and White Crow Guards who went to get Yan Tianhen will arrive at the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital.”

You Ming turned pale. “No, it’s a big mistake. Everything seems to have been calculated in advance. They just want to find an excuse to claim that Ah Hen cultivated evil Qi and killed people. No matter whether he killed them or not, the people here will know as soon as possible, and then send out the prepared imperial edict. Someone is behind this, manipulating everything!”

Yan Zhonghua said, “I already suspected this before, but we still didn’t find out who was in charge of everything. If it is really Tu Feng, he would really be too incredible.”

“With Jing Shui giving birth, isn’t it too coincidental?” You Ming frowned.

Just then, a servant hurried in and said a few words carefully in front of Yan Zhonghua. Yan Zhonghua’s eyes narrowed slightly and said, “Take her to Wutong Garden. Don’t let others see her.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“Why did she come to us for shelter?” You Ming asked after the servant left.

Yan Zhonghua said, “There must be something major. Otherwise, she could’ve just gone to her elder sister directly. Let’s go and have a look.”

Wutong Garden was an abandoned courtyard, half of which had not been visited. It hadn’t been cleaned for years, and a thick layer of leaves had fallen inside. Princess Yuqing stood stiffly, and the look in her eyes seemed unbearable.

Seeing Yan Zhonghua and You Ming, her white face finally had a color of trust.

“Princess Yuqing,” Yan Zhonghua greeted.

“King Ye, I have something important to tell you.” Princess Yuqing took a deep breath. She made great efforts and finally decided to betray her only sister.

Princess Yuqing said, “My sister, Imperial Concubine Jing Shui, colluded with an evil Qi cultivator. Moreover, they have decided to give birth to a child once Yan Tianhen’s position for the throne has been abolished, so that the child can replace Ah Hen’s position and become the rightful successor of the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital!”

You Ming didn’t change his expression when he asked, “How do you know?”

Princess Yuqing was about to cry. “I hid behind the curtain in my sister’s bedroom that day, and I accidentally saw and heard it. That evil Qi cultivator was so scary. He originally wanted to kill me. It was my sister who begged him to let me go, and only then did he stop. I don’t want my sister to be with such people anymore. My sister has changed a lot. She wasn’t like this before.”

In the past, Jing Shui was gentle and virtuous. Although they were poor, they always had each other. Until they came here.

Jing Shui was deeply loved by the emperor, so Yuqing’s status also rose as Jing Shui gained favor. She became a princess who could control wind and rain. But Jing Shui would even scheme her own child.

When Yuqing faced Jing Shui right now, she felt more afraid than anything else.

Yan Zhonghua asked slowly, “Can you see the emperor?”

Yuqing clenched her fist. “The emperor was fed evil gu as early as a few years ago, but it was ineffective at first. It wasn’t until he accumulated more over time that he was finally killed. He’s now completely controlled. The current emperor is just a puppet. In fact, all the instructions he sent out are controlled by my sister behind his back.”

Yan Zhonghua and You Ming looked at each other quickly.

The last time they saw the emperor, they felt that he had some problems, but they couldn’t say where the problems were. When Yuqing explained it, they suddenly realized that the emperor’s temperament had changed a lot.

If that was truly the case…

“I’ll send a message to Xuan Wushe first, and have him keep an eye on Ah Hen!” You Ming’s face changed suddenly, and the note in his hand disappeared instantly. “They will definitely attack Ah Hen early!”

Yan Zhonghua looked down and said to Princess Yuqing, “Please stay here for the time being. Don’t leave.”

“No.” Princess Yuqing took a deep breath. “I’d better go back to the palace first. If my elder sister finds out that I’m gone, she will be suspicious, and the first one she suspects will be you.”

Yan Zhonghua looked at Yuqing.

Yuqing smiled sadly. “I know I am not a good person, but I truly like Ah Hen a lot. What’s more, that evil Qi cultivator is so cruel. If the Nine Lands fell into his hands, I will not have a good life in the future. I can’t mess things up right now.”

Yan Zhonghua asked her to stay here because he was afraid of what Yuqing would reveal after her return, but it was a relief to hear her say this. Naturally, it would be easier to confuse the enemy if she returned. It would let the enemy believe everything was still under control.
