Covering the Sky: The Ruthless Empress's Brother, Becoming an Emperor Through Biting!

When Old Man Jiang, trembling, pulled Jiang Tingting down to kowtow, Jiang Xuan caught him just in time.

"Sir, there's no need for that."

Jiang Xuan was very happy, as the plan to cultivate the "Taiyin Body" had taken its first step.

He successfully recruited this future Holy Maiden of the Moon into his fold.

Jiang Tingting was still somewhat confused. Although she didn't know what it meant to become a disciple of the Heavenly Emperor, she knew that she seemed to be leaving her grandfather.

Her little hands gripped the hem of Old Man Jiang's clothes tightly, and she whispered, "Big brother, I don't want to leave Grandpa."

"Haha." Jiang Xuan squatted down and patted her head.

"Of course," Jiang Xuan said with a smile. "How could we abandon the old man?"

He stood up, looked at Old Man Jiang, and said gently, "Uncle, the Li family has already set their sights on you. Even if we leave, they won't let you go."

"Of course I won't leave the old man alone."

These words are perfectly reasonable.

Upon hearing this, Old Man Jiang felt a warmth in his heart.

He originally thought that these high and mighty "immortal masters" would take Tingting away after taking her in, and wouldn't care about the life or death of a mere mortal old man like him.

Unexpectedly, this "immortal master" was so kind-hearted that he even took care of him.

"Immortal Master... Immortal Master is benevolent and righteous." Old Man Jiang was so moved that tears streamed down his face.

Only then did he realize that not all people in the immortal sects were high and mighty.

"Uncle, you're too kind."

Jiang Xuan waved his hand and then got to the point: "Please point me in the direction of the Li residence, sir."

Old Man Jiang quickly wiped away his tears and gave a detailed account of the exact location of the Li residence.

Jiang Xuan nodded after listening.

He turned around and looked at Ye Fan, who was already eager to try, and Pang Bo, who looked excited.

"My eldest nephew, Pang Bo."

"I'll leave this matter to you to handle."

Upon hearing this, a look of understanding flashed in Ye Fan's eyes.

He nodded emphatically, his voice steady: "Uncle, I know what to do."

"Hmm." Jiang Xuan was very satisfied.

"Brother Ye, what are you all doing?" Jiang Tingting asked curiously.

Jiang Xuan smiled and reached out to gently scratch the tip of her small nose.

"Them."

He laughed and said, "They went to take care of some things and will be back soon."

……

Over the next few days, the atmosphere in the town became unusually eerie.

Jiang Xuan and his group stayed at this small tavern for the time being.

Those three burly men who were knocked away never returned.

Until the morning of the third day.

A shocking piece of news spread throughout the entire town.

The Li family suffered retribution.

Their entire family was wiped out.

The residents of the town were buzzing with discussion.

Some daring people went to the entrance of the Li residence for a peek.

All that could be seen were ruins and rubble. The few cultivators from the Li family who usually acted arrogantly, including the master who was said to have reached the "Bitter Sea Realm," had all died in their own courtyard.

There were no screams, no flames.

Everything happened silently.

People are speculating which powerful deity has acted on behalf of Heaven.

And in the tavern.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo were quietly drinking tea, as if everything was irrelevant to them.

Just the night before last.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo, both masked, sneaked into the Li residence.

The old master of the Li family in the Bitter Sea Realm rushed out and roared as soon as he noticed the commotion.

"Where did this thief come from...?"

Ye Fan didn't even bother to use the "Nine Slashes of the Demon Emperor".

He simply gathered the divine power of the Life Spring Realm into a single punch.

Golden energy erupted, condensing into a terrifying fist aura.

The cultivator at the Bitter Sea Realm didn't even touch Ye Fan's clothes before his divine power shield was shattered by a single punch. He was sent flying backward, crashing into the main hall and dying on the spot.

A complete crushing defeat.

Pang Bo was responsible for cleaning up the remaining small fish.

The two strictly followed Jiang Xuan's instruction that "a family should be together."

They completely eliminated the threat posed by the Li family at its root.

Anyway, the people in the Li family are no good either. They bully ordinary people and have harmed countless people.

After that, Jiang Xuan and Ye Fan did not linger.

They took Jiang Tingting and Old Man Jiang, bought a simple horse-drawn carriage, and officially embarked on their journey back to Lingxu Cave.

……

On the way back.

Old Man Jiang was driving the carriage, and Jiang Tingting sat curiously beside him, lifting the curtain to look at the outside world.

Jiang Xuan lay there leisurely, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo sat to the side.

Ye Fan's gaze occasionally swept over the bewildered little girl, and then glanced at his unreliable uncle.

He always had a question in his mind.

He thought for a moment and then used his divine sense to transmit his voice.

"uncle."

Jiang Xuan's eyebrows twitched, but he didn't open his eyes.

"You kidnapped Xiaotingting," Ye Fan carefully chose his words, "Can you really teach her?"

"The Taiyin Body is no joke. Without the corresponding ancient scriptures, she is simply unable to cultivate, and as you said, she might even die young."

Ye Fan's tone in the telepathic message was filled with deep suspicion.

Finally, he couldn't help but make a comment.

"You can't possibly have... the Taiyin Emperor's Scripture, can you?"

Ye Fan asked this question to remind him not to go too far in his deception and to figure out how to handle the situation.

however.

Jiang Xuan's lazy voice also entered his mind through telepathy.

"The Taiyin Emperor Scripture?"

Jiang Xuan seemed to ask a question in return.

Then, Ye Fan heard the second half of the sentence that left him stunned.

"Of course I have an uncle."

Ye Fan: "??????"

Ye Fan was very shocked.

Where did Jiang Xuan get the Taiyin Emperor Scripture?

He tried desperately to remember.

Starting from Mount Tai, we traveled to the ancient star of Mars, and then to the desolate forbidden land of the Big Dipper.

They were together the whole way.

Their greatest gain right now is that copy of the Daoist scripture, the Wheel of Life, which they just shared with Pang Bo.

When and where did my uncle manage to acquire an ancient scripture of the Great Emperor?

"uncle."

Ye Fan transmitted his voice again, his voice carrying a hint of dryness that he himself was unaware of.

"You must be joking. That's the Taiyin Emperor's Scripture, the legacy of the Taiyin Human Emperor. We..."

"We only have one Daoist scripture, the Ocean Scroll."

He asked his question directly.

"Where did you get this?"

Jiang Xuan kept his eyes closed and didn't even change his posture.

His lazy voice drifted into Ye Fan's mind once again.

"Heavenly secrets must not be revealed."

"Uncle!" Ye Fan was about to go crazy.

"You'll find out when the time comes." Jiang Xuan's voice still seemed a little sleepy. "Just focus on your journey and don't disturb my sleep."

The transmission of sound was cut off unilaterally.

Ye Fan: "..."

Looking at Jiang Xuan's lying figure, he felt a wave of helplessness wash over him.

Ye Fan's lips twitched slightly.

He increasingly felt that his uncle was somewhat unreliable.
