Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 449 - Fury

The sun and moon cycled twice, marking the passage of days.

The morning sunlight spilled over the land...

When Xiao Yi opened his eyes again, the morning sun had already moistened the earth.

The entire valley was a mess, strewn with the corpses of God Devouring Ants, filling the air with a terrible stench of blood. The massive presence of the ants meant that there were no traces of other beasts nearby, which explained why Xiao Yi, despite being unconscious all night, had not suffered any harm.

Hu!

He exhaled a long breath of stale air.

Supporting his body, Xiao Yi sat up, gently patted his groggy head, and said with a wry smile, "As expected of the God Devouring Ant queen, even with an antidote on hand, I was still knocked out by its toxins!"

The toxin of the God Devouring Ants was incredibly terrifying.

Especially that of the queen.

If an ordinary master of the Dharma Manifestation Realm were bitten, they would die instantly.

Although Xiao Yi had the Wind Thunder Holy Body, which granted him immunity to most toxins, and had an antidote, he could not avoid being knocked out for the night.

"What is the identity of that mysterious person? Lin Xu was just a pawn pushed to the forefront by him. So, is their plan to attack the Great Qian Dynasty real or fake? Damn, it seems I still underestimate others..."

The image of the mysterious person surfaced in his mind.

Even though they had never confronted each other directly, Xiao Yi had a strong intuition.

This mysterious person's strength was far above his own!

Even Yang Yuhuan, the peerless War King, would not be a match for this mysterious figure!

And...

The fact that this person could control the God Devouring Ant queen and secretly use Lin Xu as cannon fodder, sending him to do the vanguard work and cultivate the terrifying God Devouring Ant army, gave Xiao Yi a feeling as if he were as profound and unfathomable as the starry sky.

"He seems to recognize Xiao Tianjiao and holds him in very high regard..."

The words of the mysterious person echoed in Xiao Yi's mind. He spoke of Xiao Tianjiao with a clear sense of respect and recognition, "For such an existence to admire you to this extent, Xiao Tianjiao, just how strong are you?"

His fists clenched unconsciously.

All along this journey...

Xiao Yi had been relentlessly chasing after Xiao Tianjiao's footsteps, breaking one record after another that Xiao Tianjiao had set. The presence of Xiao Tianjiao was a constant nightmare in his heart, his Heart Demon, his lifelong nemesis.

Hu!

Xiao Yi took a deep breath, long and deep: "Xiao Tianjiao, no matter how strong you are, one day I will surpass you!"

He sat cross-legged in the valley.

With his eyes tightly closed, Xiao Yi maintained the Five Hearts to Heaven posture, circulating his profound energy to recover his own strength.

The time until the ancestral worship ceremony was running short.

He had to recover as quickly as possible and then rush back to the Great Qian Dynasty.

.........

In the Northern Bing City, within the city lord's mansion,

Yang Ling and the others had recovered somewhat from their injuries and were anxiously looking towards the door.

All of a sudden...

A figure flew in from the sky and landed in the main hall; the newcomer was Yan Wei.

Shua!

Yang Ling and the others rose to their feet in one swift motion, looking expectantly at Yan Wei. But seeing his grave expression and the absence of anyone following him, Yang Ling's heart sank as he said in a heavy tone, "General Yan, Yang Kun he..."

"The scout has returned to report that the crown prince and his men passed through Xingmen City yesterday on their way to the imperial capital. My men simply couldn't catch up with them..." Yan Wei said with a bow and a wry smile.

Plop!

Yang Ling collapsed back into his seat, his face filled with bitterness: "It's all over, with the relationship between Xiao and Little Lin, this is really going to be a disaster..."

"A disaster? What disaster?"

Xiao Yi's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

He glanced at the people in the hall with grave faces, feeling an unease in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "What exactly happened?"

The others looked at each other, not daring to meet his gaze.

Finally, it was Yang Ling who let out a sigh and said in a somber tone, "Xiao, I owe you an apology. I didn't expect Yang Kun to be so cunning and deceitful, not only ungrateful for your life-saving grace but also repaying kindness with enmity..."

"It's not entirely Yang Ling's fault. I was also careless for not keeping a close eye on Yang Kun, which allowed him to plot against us..." Shen Mo said self-critically, "Even Little Lin and the Ice Snow Phoenix have been captured by him."

Boom!

Xiao Yi's face suddenly changed, and a fierce surge of Qi whipped up around him.

Qi burst uncontrollably from his body.

And sent all the tables and chairs in the hall flying.

"Xiao, restrain your anger!"

"Xiao, you must not act rashly..." Yan Wei hastily said.

Whoosh!

The gust came quickly and left just as fast.

Xiao Yi reined in the Qi around him, his eyes narrowing into slits, and he said in a low voice, "Where has he taken Little Lin?"

The others looked at each other, not daring to speak for a moment.

"Speak!"

Xiao Yi shouted angrily.

His roar was like thunder, deafening.

Inside the huge governor's mansion, countless strong individuals trembled, their faces turning pale. In the stables behind the mansion, several precious horses with dragon horse bloodlines knelt on the ground, their legs giving out from fright, shivering uncontrollably.

Yang Ling and the others looked at each other, not expecting Xiao Yi to have such a terrifying presence.

Gulp!

Yang Ling swallowed hard and said in a deep voice, "Yang Kun intends to take Little Lin back as an offering, to be sacrificed at the ancestral worship ceremony!"

Boom!

The entire governor's mansion shook violently.

Bang bang bang!

The tables and chairs in the main hall shattered one after another, along with the flowers and plants in the front yard outside, also bursting apart.

The horrendous booming sounds made Yan Wei and the other strong individuals present feel a buzzing in their ears, their minds going blank.

Whoosh!

Xiao Yi took a long breath, his expression becoming extremely cold, and he said ominously, "Well played, Yang Kun... Do you really think I would not dare to kill you just because you're the crown prince? Dare to use my brother as an offering? I swear I will tear you to pieces!"

"Xiao, please calm down!"

Yang Ling rushed forward, grabbing Xiao Yi tightly, and said urgently, "Xiao, you must not act impulsively. After all, Yang Kun is the crown prince and represents the royal family's dignity. Behind him stands the mighty Tianjian Sect. He must have anticipated your retaliation and will surely seek aid from Tianjian Sect. You must not act rashly..."

Yan Wei also said, "Prince Yang Ling is right. This matter requires careful planning. If you act impulsively, not only will you fail to save Little Lin, but you might end up falling into a trap yourself!"

Shen Mo looked fearfully at Xiao Yi's bloodshot eyes, those eyes like those of a demon, awe-inspiring; "Xiao, Yang Kun took Little Lin to sacrifice at the ancestral worship ceremony, so Little Lin must be safe before then. We must come up with a long-term plan..."

Xiao Yi trembled slightly.

The red glow in his eyes gradually faded, regaining some clarity.

Just as Shen Mo had said...

Since Yang Kun planned to use Little Lin as an offering at the ancestral worship ceremony, Little Lin must be safe until then.

If Xiao Yi were to return to the imperial capital and confront Yang Kun directly,

He might inadvertently give Yang Kun a reason to kill Little Lin.

With that thought in mind.

Xiao Yi exhaled a long breath, suppressing the chilling intent to kill in his heart, and gritted his teeth, "There are five days until the ancestral worship ceremony, we shall set off for the imperial capital immediately!"

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

An hour later.

The group stood outside Northern Bing City, with the winged serpent reappearing in front of them.

Xiao Yi turned to Yan Wei and said, "General Yan, this tragedy on the ice plains was orchestrated by the Sword Dynasty's use of the God Devouring Ants. They may well take advantage of the ancestral worship ceremony to launch an attack, please prepare accordingly!"

"Rest assured, Xiao, I have already ordered people to strengthen our defenses!" Yan Wei replied in a deep voice.

Xiao Yi nodded his head.

The group boarded the back of the winged serpent, tore through the sky, and disappeared into the vast horizon.

As General Yan gazed up at Xiao Yi's departing figure, he heaved a sigh, his eyes heavy with determination as he looked northward, "You bastards of the Sword Dynasty, I won't let you take a single step into Northern Bing City!"

The winged serpent soared into the sky, heading toward the imperial capital.

In that moment...

No one knew that with Xiao Yi's return, a storm of blood and violence was quietly gathering over the imperial capital...
