At that moment, Wang Pengyuan, Xu Wenyuan, and Lei Chengtian rose to their feet, their eyes gleaming with excitement as they gazed at Ye Wushuang. Their expressions were filled with fervor.
Indeed.
Their sovereign has returned.
The nightmare for those people has begun!
Ye Wushuang looked at the three men and said once more, “In these five hundred years, you must have uncovered some information…”
Wang Pengyuan immediately replied, “Within the Imperial Capital, aside from the royal family, the five great clans—Qin, Chu, Xiao, Shang, and Liu—have all taken action.”
“They assisted those powerful individuals in ruthlessly slaughtering the members of the Ye clan and divided the clan’s entire assets across the empire among themselves.”
“Not a single one of these five clans is innocent!”
“Moreover, there are the major forces of Qingzhou, the Heavenly Mechanism Mansion, and the Holy Elixir Sect.”
Wang Pengyuan spoke with resentment, “The people of the Heavenly Mechanism Mansion sought the bloodline power of the Ye clan’s descendants, while the Holy Elixir Sect coveted the many elixir formulas and techniques you left behind in the past.”
“As for the rest… we are still unaware.”
“Our incompetence is regrettable. Over the years, we have investigated beyond the Qingyun Empire, but the super sects on the Qingzhou continent, with numerous experts in the Tian Gang and Wan Fa realms, have caused us great harm and left our strength stagnant. It is truly difficult to obtain useful information!”
Ye Wushuang now said indifferently, “Isn’t it already clear that the Xiao, Qin, Liu, Shang, and Chu clans are involved?”
“Since that is the case, we shall start with these five clans.”
Upon hearing this, the three men’s eyes brightened.
Ye Wushuang continued, “Now that I have returned, it is time to settle the old grudges, one by one.”
“We shall begin with the five great clans. I will not only exterminate their entire clans but also target every talented individual and descendant they hold dear, killing them one by one. Merely taking lives is not enough; I must also break their spirits!”
At this moment, an aura of authority, one that did not belong to a sixteen-year-old youth, radiated from Ye Wushuang. It was the presence of a true overlord.
“Once the five great clans are dealt with, we will move on to the Heavenly Mechanism Mansion and the Holy Elixir Sect. By following the trail, we will eventually uncover and bring to justice every culprit from the past, leaving none behind!”
“Yes, my lord!”
The three men responded with resounding determination.
Their sovereign had returned, and their vengeance was within reach!
Even though their sovereign had returned in a reincarnated form, still at the Condensing Meridian stage, the five great clans, the Heavenly Mechanism Mansion, and the Holy Elixir Sect would not escape their fate.
“I am truly delighted to see you three again,” Ye Wushuang said with a faint smile. “However, this poison in your bodies is indeed a nuisance. I will think of a way to help you resolve it.”
Upon hearing this, the three men were overjoyed.
Their lord’s elixir techniques were divine and unfathomable. If he said he could find a solution, then there was no doubt it would be resolved.
In reality, over these five hundred years, if it were not for the poison, the three of them would not merely be at the Tian Gang stage; they would have long since entered the Wan Fa stage or even higher realms.
“This poison, the Blood-Scab Eroding Spirit Bug, has fused with you and gnaws at your flesh and blood day and night, eroding your foundations…”
Pausing here, Ye Wushuang’s tone softened.
Five hundred years—enduring the torment of the Blood-Scab Eroding Spirit Bug for half a millennium was akin to suffering the agony of being flayed alive every moment of every day.
Yet, the three of them had persevered for five hundred years, all because of hope.
The hope that he would return!
“It seems I must indeed visit the Qingyun Academy. There, I should be able to find something to cure the Blood-Scab Eroding Spirit Bug’s poison from your bodies.”
At this moment, Ye Wushuang helped the three men to their feet.
“Now that the Dark Soul Hall is functioning smoothly, you three should continue to use the names Wang Pengyuan, Xu Wenyuan, and Lei Chengtian. Trust me!”
Ye Wushuang said indifferently, “One day, you will stand at the pinnacle of the Qingyun Empire in your true forms. That day is not far off…”
The three men nodded in agreement.
However, as Ye Wushuang finished speaking, Xu Wenyuan suddenly furrowed his brows and looked toward the outside of the mansion.
