Chapter 1116: Chapter 1116: Remains of the Di Family’s First Ancestor

After dealing with the matter of Tianque City being incorporated into the Di Family.

Ye Yun, Emperor Jiuying, and Di Dao Lin, the three of them left this place from Horizon City by riding the Teleportation Array.

Central Wilderness Ancient Domain, Emperor Fall Mountain.

When Ye Yun and the other two returned to that great hall, it wasn’t long before Emperor Wu Shuang arrived.

"Jiuying, did you obtain the Heart of the Heavenly Illusory Purple Snake?"

As soon as he entered, Emperor Wu Shuang stared at Emperor Jiuying and asked anxiously.

"I didn’t get it."

Emperor Jiuying shook his head.

Di Dao Lin, seated to the side, gazed blandly at Emperor Wu Shuang’s face, and really couldn’t help wanting to laugh.

The great upheaval in Tianque City had only just taken place, and this younger brother of his still knew absolutely nothing.

"You were lucky enough to escape back alive; if you didn’t get the Heart of the Heavenly Illusory Purple Snake then so be it. Pity my elder brother—this time the poison he’s taken truly has no cure!"

Emperor Wu Shuang said with feigned concern, and at the end even squeezed out a few tears on purpose.

"Wu Shuang, I have a letter here. How about I let you take a look?"

Di Dao Lin’s expression was calm. He stretched out a hand, took a letter from his sleeve, and passed it to Emperor Wu Shuang.

A letter?

Emperor Wu Shuang was stunned for a moment, half suspicious as he received the letter. When he opened it and saw the contents, his expression instantly froze.

"This is a personal letter from Lord of Tianque City, Yuwen Xiong Zhu. You shouldn’t be unfamiliar with his handwriting, right?

Wu Shuang, as for the things written in the letter, you’ve understood them clearly as well, haven’t you?"

Di Dao Lin suddenly stood up. The fatigue on his face swept away; his spirit was high, divine light in his eyes as he fixed his gaze on Emperor Wu Shuang.

This letter had naturally been written at his instruction.

Tianque City had already been incorporated into the Di Family and was henceforth under his control, so he had Yuwen Xiong write this letter to tear off his dear younger brother’s hypocritical mask.

Sure enough, after Emperor Wu Shuang saw the letter, his entire expression changed.

"Elder Brother, this... what on earth is going on? How could a city as renowned as Tianque City possibly be incorporated into the Di Family?"

Emperor Wu Shuang clutched the letter, visibly agitated, and looked at Di Dao Lin as he questioned him.

"Some things, if you’re meant to know you’ll naturally be told; as for those you’re not meant to know, you won’t be told even if you ask. Tianque City is a confidential matter—you’re not qualified to stick your nose in yet!"

Di Dao Lin slightly furrowed his brow and spoke coldly.

This younger brother of his harbored ill intent; he couldn’t wait for him to die early so he could take over the position of Family Head.

"Elder Brother, you really are ruthless!

I don’t see any signs of poisoning on you; the poison has already been cured at some unknown time. Looks like something really did happen in Tianque City...

This time, I’ll admit I lost to you!"

Emperor Wu Shuang gnashed his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.

"You indeed lost!"

Di Dao Lin let out a cold laugh. A powerful Super Divine Dragon Breath erupted from his body as he stretched out a hand and grabbed toward Emperor Wu Shuang.

He was at the God King Realm Fourth Level, while Emperor Wu Shuang was a minor stage lower than him, so the difference in combat strength between them was enormous.

Even if he wanted to resist or flee, Emperor Wu Shuang had no chance.

After restraining Emperor Wu Shuang, Di Dao Lin sighed, his expression somewhat desolate.

He was silent for a moment.

Then he shouted toward the outside, "Someone, take Emperor Wu Shuang away and lock him up!"

At this moment, an old man in the Divine King Realm flew in and escorted Emperor Wu Shuang out.

Ye Yun watched this scene without betraying any emotion and did not voice an opinion.

It seemed this elder brother Di Dao Lin had no wish to kill his younger brother with a single Sword.

Whether he killed him or not, Ye Yun didn’t care.

After all, the current Di Dao Lin could be said to be in his prime; a minor Emperor Wu Shuang—even if released—wouldn’t be able to stir up any waves.

"Long Yunzi..."

Di Dao Lin’s expression shifted, and suddenly a silver radiance lit up in his hand.

Within the light, a seemingly ancient silver box appeared.

This silver box wasn’t large, only about ten inches in size. Its surface was densely covered with all kinds of archaic designs of flowers, birds, fish, and insects, as well as some extremely mysterious sigils.

"Father, what is this?"

Emperor Jiuying spoke without thinking, unable to hold back his question.

"I’ll tell you in a moment..."

Di Dao Lin’s face was solemn as he spoke lightly.

He looked toward Ye Yun.

Ye Yun was somewhat puzzled and didn’t know what Di Dao Lin meant by taking out this silver box.

"Long Yunzi, you are my daughter’s Dao-companion. By rights, that makes us one family, so there is something I want to entrust to you—to help our Di Family accomplish it..."

Cradling the silver box in both hands, Di Dao Lin spoke with a serious expression.

"What is it, Uncle Di? Just tell me directly!"

Ye Yun said. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Seeing Di Dao Lin being so mysterious, it seemed like he wanted Ye Yun to do something that couldn’t see the light of day?

Ye Yun’s curiosity was aroused at this moment.

"Come with me..."

Di Dao Lin did not explain, but instead, holding the box, walked out of the great hall. Ye Yun and Emperor Jiuying exchanged a glance and could only follow.

Emperor Jiuying’s expression was naturally just as bewildered.

Ye Yun could tell that Emperor Jiuying also didn’t know what her father intended to do.

The three of them flew all the way.

In the end they arrived at a mountain valley, descended from midair, and landed in front of a massive ancient hall.

"Father, why have we come to the ancestral hall?"

Emperor Jiuying asked in surprise.

"This place can only be entered by the Family Head of the Di Family. Given the circumstances today, I’m bringing you in to have a look. Once you see, you’ll understand..."

Di Dao Lin sighed softly.

With his other hand he suddenly shot out several beams of light, which sank into the void outside the ancestral hall. Immediately after, a semi-transparent great formation surfaced.

On the formation, a passage opened up.

Di Dao Lin was the first to walk in.

Emperor Jiuying and Ye Yun followed right behind, and the three entered the ancestral hall.

"So many coffins..."

Once inside, Ye Yun was slightly stunned.

Within the great hall, countless coffins were densely arranged, all of them looking extremely ancient.

Above the coffins, there was an offering table, on which Spirit Plaques were placed.

"Father, are these... all our Di Family’s ancestors? How could there be so many?"

Emperor Jiuying asked in shock.

"Daughter, some things only the Family Head of the Di Family is qualified to know..."

Di Dao Lin let out a sigh.

He looked toward Ye Yun, his face solemn, and said in a deep voice, "To be frank, our Di Family’s inheritance is incomparably ancient and long-standing; it can be traced back to the previous era..."

"The previous era?"

Ye Yun’s expression stiffened, and for the first time a hint of shock appeared on his face.

The Di Family’s lineage could actually be traced back so far—on par with the seven Supremes leaving behind seven inheritances in the Divine Land.

"The box in my hands contains the remains of the first ancestor of our Di Family, a near Quasi-Emperor level powerhouse who lived in the previous era!"

Holding up the silver box, Di Dao Lin said slowly.

Hearing these words from her father, Emperor Jiuying was dumbfounded.

Ye Yun was also stunned.

Good grief!

Di Dao Lin was actually carrying around the remains of the first ancestor from the previous era. This kind of behavior was truly hair-raising.

"That first ancestor back then was also gravely injured. He barely managed to hang on for a very long time before finally falling. But before his death, he instructed the Di Family’s descendants that if there was ever a chance, they must send him into the Mysterious Ice Cave. Because of this, generation after generation of Family Heads in our Di Family have embarked on a path of one after another throwing themselves forward..."

Di Dao Lin said in a deep voice.

Whoosh...

As he spoke up to this point, a certain pained look suddenly appeared on his face. Then with a wave of his big hand, all the black coffin lids soared into the air at that moment.

Ye Yun looked over in a single glance.

He saw that every coffin was completely empty, without a single set of remains.

"Empty?"

Emperor Jiuying said in utter shock.
