I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

"Tsk! How infuriating! That divination expert vanished without a trace after saying those words. If not for that, I would have used force to find out who that person was!"

"Unfortunately, now I can only place my hopes on him... Alas!" Muttering to himself, Zhang Shen's expression also showed a hint of regret.

……

Meanwhile, deep within the Imperial Sword Clan's cemetery, in the secret chamber where Huang Quan resides.

Within a white cocoon of light, streaks of purple light filled the cocoon. These streaks of purple light continued to flow into the body of a person inside. With each wisp of purple light entering the person, a trace of foul gray energy would emanate from their body, as if the purple light was cleansing the person's body.

"What does this feel like?"

Why does it feel so good?

"My body..."

The man muttered to himself, completely unaware that his body was undergoing an unexpected transformation.

Outside this person, the sharp sword revealed by the purple light became increasingly clear.

……

The Imperial Sword Clan Cemetery, another secret chamber.

The old man named Jueyi was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the wall, resting with his eyes closed.

The woman named Zhang Ye standing beside him was at the entrance of the secret room, but her gaze was fixed on something else, as if she were waiting for something, and her expression was clearly very anxious.

"Ye'er? No need to rush!"

Jue Yi gently opened his eyes and saw that Zhang Ye's beautiful face looked a little off. With his intelligence and experience, he naturally knew what she was anxious about.

"Father! We've been trapped here for almost seven days now. If this continues, we definitely won't make it to the Dijian Clan's ceremony..." Ye'er turned around, her impatience undisguised.

"Hehe! You're not calm enough yet. Calm down first!" Jue Yi smiled faintly, not paying any attention to the emotions in Ye'er's tone.

"Father! I've gone to great lengths to incite some of the clansmen to join me. If I don't show up when necessary, their trust in me might crumble! And if that happens, our entire plan could be ruined!"

"Alas! Ye'er! Looking at you like this, how am I supposed to pass on our lineage to you in the future?" Jue Yi sighed slightly as he tried to teach her.

"I..." Sensing Jueyi's disappointment, Zhang Ye uttered a low sound and then fell silent.

In fact, Zhang Ye was not the kind of woman who was cold and aloof; on the contrary, she was a very easy-going person. The reason she acted so distant was entirely because of the powerful person in front of her.

Zhang Ye has always aimed to become the ultimate champion since she was a child. In her mind, her father, who is a strong man, is like a god, standing tall and upright for her and her family.

But during their final trip, an accident occurred, and he disappeared from her sight. During the time he was gone, she felt like she had no spiritual support and could only struggle day and night for her own faction, despite her exhaustion.

I remember that year, she was sixteen years old.

A mere sixteen-year-old girl had to shoulder the burden of a branch of her family. If it weren't for Jueyi's remaining prestige within her original family and the presence of the elders who had followed her through thick and thin, she would probably have been devoured by the cruelty of her family long ago, leaving no trace of her remains.

It's likely that Jueyi never imagined that his daughter possessed such exceptional potential in management. Shortly after taking over, she brought about significant changes to the branch she was in.

Her ruthlessness and decisiveness terrified many.

Because she knew that family was both a hell and a heaven, so if you couldn't make it a heaven, you could only make it a hell.

Of course, during her time managing this branch, she also issued numerous orders to search for Jueyi.

Fortunately, perseverance pays off. After some twists and turns, the father and daughter, who had not seen each other for many years, finally met again in the cemetery of the Emperor Sword Clan.

Unfortunately, now is not the time to rekindle their father-daughter bond. Their plan is not yet complete, and their revenge... has only just begun.

That's why Zhang Ye was really getting anxious.

"Ye'er..."

Seeing his daughter looking somewhat aggrieved, Jue softened his tone, but he was at a loss for what to do. After all, she was his own daughter, and he cherished her as much as his lifeblood!

In reality, he understood the hardships Zhang Ye had endured over the years, and he knew how difficult things had been for her. So he planned to make it up to his beloved daughter after returning to where he belonged. But he also knew that it wasn't possible now!

"Calm down first?" Jueyi spoke slowly again, his tone containing a hint of warmth.

Feeling Jueyi's warm words, Zhang Ye was taken aback, but then gave a soft "hmm".

She was a smart woman, and she trusted her father; those two things were enough.

So soon, she sat down cross-legged and slowly calmed herself down.

This was the first time in so many years that she had been so docile; if those who knew her well had seen her, they would probably have been shocked.

"That's good, my daughter. She doesn't need to suffer so much." Seeing Zhang Ye calm down, Jue Yi murmured softly in a voice only he could hear.

A moment later, Jue Yi closed his eyes again, and a gentle red light gradually appeared around him. Under his control, this red light slowly covered Zhang Ye's body.

A gentle power flowed through Zhang Ye's body, seemingly calming him. Soon after, Zhang Ye's entire body was enveloped in red light, like a large sphere, and Zhang Ye himself exuded a sense of relaxation within this sphere.

She fell asleep inside the ball.

But Jueyi's face was filled with grief.

Through this power, he seemed to sense Zhang Ye's hardships and dangers over the years from within his heart.

He looked at Zhang Ye, and beneath his calm expression, he felt a mix of emotions.

After a moment, he finally stood up, but a rare look of seriousness and determination flashed in his eyes.

"My dear daughter, you should rest for a while. When you open your eyes again, you will see the outside world," Jue Yi murmured to himself, his tone filled with determination.

But as soon as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly turned cold, like a block of ancient ice.

Every now and then, his gaze, like Zhang Ye's earlier, would turn towards the outside of this secret room.

Finally, he rose lightly, exuding a domineering aura that had been hidden for a long time, and walked straight out of the secret room. His direction was none other than the other secret room where Huang Quan was at that moment.

……

As for the secret chamber where Huang Quan was located, apart from the light cocoon that occasionally emitted a purple-white glow, the chamber still had a somewhat terrifying feel to it.

With those thirty-odd coffins, anyone who is even slightly timid or fearful would likely be frightened by such an environment.

It's quiet here, very quiet.

In this unusual silence, the purple sword that had been circling around the cocoon of light began to move at varying speeds.

Finally, it withdrew its light, stood at the very top of the cocoon of light, and stopped moving.

Judging from its appearance, it seems to have completed its mission and now it should have a good rest.

Suddenly, a faint clicking sound abruptly broke the silence of the place.

Upon closer listening, it turned out to be the sound of the light cocoon slowly cracking.

Despite this, the enormous cocoon of light did not develop large-scale cracks, as if the cocoon had not yet reached maturity, or as if the butterfly inside had not yet reached the point where it could truly emerge.

"Is this the place?" At this moment, Jueyi's footsteps had already strolled over. He murmured softly, but in his seemingly dim eyes, there was a hint of memory. Presumably, this place must hold his story.

"Ugh!"

He was already standing outside the stone gate, but instead of going in immediately, he sighed again. Then his gaze was fixed on the stone gate, and many images flashed through his bright eyes.

……

The location was the forest outside the Imperial Sword Clan's cemetery, and the time was seven years ago.

"Brother! You used such methods? Don't you feel ashamed? And you, Zhu Yongri, you are the patriarch of one of the three great hidden families, yet you actually joined forces with this despicable villain to plot against an old man like me! Be careful your ancestors might come back to life from anger!!"

Without a doubt, the speaker of the above words was Jueyi.

His gaze was sharp and furious as he stared at the two people blocking his way, as if he wanted to drink their blood and eat their flesh. He was truly enraged.

However, his words revealed the identities of these two people.

Standing on the left is Zhang Shen, the current patriarch of the Emperor Sword Clan, while standing on the right is an old man with an air of otherworldly wisdom, who is also the current patriarch of the Bamboo Sky Clan... Zhu Yongri.

“My dear brother! The victor always has the right to write the chapters of history. You should understand this simple truth better than I do.” Zhang Shen’s eyes narrowed into a straight line, and his tone was full of disdain for Jue Yi’s words.

That's certainly true; when your strength reaches a certain level, you have everything.

Back then, morality and shame were just empty words. A strong person doesn't need these things; their existence is merely an excuse for the weak.

“Jueyi, I know you are now in the mid-stage of Heavenly Monarch. In terms of strength, neither Chief Zhang nor I may be your match. After all, Chief Zhang and I are both in the early stage of Heavenly Monarch, so…” Zhu Yongri suddenly spoke up, revealing a hint of the aura of a powerful figure.

At this moment, his tone changed, and he said, "So if I join forces with him, plus this... I'm afraid we can at least subdue you!"

As he spoke, he waved his left hand, and an object resembling a fishing net appeared out of thin air in his hand.

When Jue Yi saw the item, his brows furrowed instantly: "Where did you get this Skynet?"

"Hehe! We all know that if people of our level were to fight, it would probably destroy the entire Emperor Sword Clan. So why don't we think of a way to deal with this?" Zhu Yongri said with a light smile, but his smile made people feel a little uncomfortable.

The Skynet, though called a fishing net, is actually a small spatial weapon. When it is deployed, those trapped inside will slowly lose the strength to struggle, like a fish, and will eventually be at the mercy of others. However, this thing has two major drawbacks.

First, it can only be used once; it is a disposable item. After use, it will become no different from an ordinary fishing net.

Second, it only works on those who are under the Heavenly Ruler, hence it is called the Net Without Heaven.

In addition, its operation also has two very demanding conditions. First, the person operating it must be a Heavenly Lord, and secondly, there must be two Heavenly Lords.

One is in charge of external affairs, and the other is in charge of internal affairs.

Despite its complicated conditions, its value is immeasurable as long as it can deal with experts of the Heavenly Lord level. Therefore, such weapons are very rare.

"Enough with the nonsense, let's get started!" At this point, Zhang Shen was clearly getting impatient.

Upon hearing Zhang Shen's words, Zhu Yongri nodded, and then he cast the fishing net directly upwards, where it was spread out in the sky.

Jue's expression was extremely gloomy. The scenery in his eyes was slowly being covered by the Wutian Net, and his heart gradually became quiet.

He had come to this place near the forbidden area of ​​the Emperor Sword Clan after receiving news of the Emperor Sword, but little did he know that it was a trap set by Zhang Shen to consolidate his position as clan leader!

He felt so regretful and so sad.

After all, this person... is his own brother!

Chapter 208 Threat

Not long after, Zhu Yongri and Jue Yi were both imprisoned in a dark space by Wutianwang.

However, there is a clear difference between the two: the former actively entered, while the latter... was a form of constraint.

Upon closer inspection, the sky in this space resembled an endless fishing net, and the two of them were like fish caught in it, with no hope of ever being free.

Outside, Zhang Shen sat cross-legged on the ground, his expression extremely indifferent. From the outside, it seemed that he hadn't done anything, but if you looked closely, you would find that around his body, strands of powerful true energy were merging into the Wutian Net.

Jue Yi had considered escaping the moment the fishing net was used, but when he saw Zhang Shen, who was eager to make a move, he realized that it probably wouldn't be that easy. Although his cultivation was higher than Zhang Shen's, it didn't mean that Zhang Shen couldn't delay him for a moment. Doing so would be a waste of time and energy, which would be unwise.
