Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 455: A Thunderclap Reduces Ten Years of Life!

Xiao Yi and the others were all taken aback.

A matter concerning the life and death of Xiaoshanhe Institute?

The three exchanged glances.

It was at this moment...

An urgent figure hurried in from outside the door, a person with white hair—it was Xiao Yun!

Since the day he passed the examination and entered the Xiaoshanhe Institute, Xiao Yun had been following Fu Yuan and others in their cultivation. Noticing Xiao Yun's travel-worn appearance, Ye Heng asked in puzzlement, "Ren, weren't you researching ancient techniques with Fu Hall Master and the others?"

"I've seen Ye and Sister Jin!"

Xiao Yun, although older in age, was of a lower generation than Ye Heng and Jin Feiyan. He bowed to the two and, without answering, moved past them to face Xiao Yi, "Institute Head, I have an urgent matter to report!"

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes and sized up Xiao Yun.

Ever since his first encounter with Xiao Yun, he had found the man extremely strange.

Whether it was his behavior or the familiar feeling he emitted, Xiao Yi found it memorable.

It was for this reason...

That he had Fu Yuan personally guide Xiao Yun.

Under the scrutiny of Xiao Yi's sharp gaze that seemed to pierce into a person's heart, Xiao Yun stayed neither servile nor overbearing, with not a trace of flickering or avoidance in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Institute Head, I guarantee with my life..."

"No need!"

Xiao Yi waved his hand. For some inexplicable reason, he always intrinsically believed that Xiao Yun was a person to be trusted, and he spoke up, "Since I've allowed you into my Xiaoshanhe Institute, of course, I trust you. What exactly is the matter that has you so flustered? Speak the truth!"

"Institute Head, this matter is of great importance..."

Xiao Yun hesitated, glanced at Ye Heng and Jin Feiyan, and said apologetically, "Brother Ye, could you two please step outside for a moment?"

Ye Heng was startled.

Jin Feiyan, hands on her hips, was greatly displeased, "Xiao Yun, what do you mean by this? Surely you're not suggesting that we two would leak any secrets?"

Xiao Yun pressed his lips tightly together but didn't reply.

Xiao Yi waved his hand and said to an angry Jin Feiyan, "Please, leave us for now!"

"Hmph!"

Jin Feiyan stamped her foot hard and turned around to leave, huffing with annoyance.

"Master, your disciple shall take his leave!" Ye Heng quickly followed out.

In the room, only Xiao Yi and Xiao Yun remained. Xiao Yi said, "You can speak now, right?"

Xiao Yun went to the door, looked around to make sure there was nobody, then closed the door securely. With a grave expression, he returned to Xiao Yi and said in a somber tone, "Institute Head, did you go to the ice plains? And, moreover, did you encounter a mysterious person controlling God Devouring Ants?"

Buzz!

Xiao Yi's face instantly changed.

The mysterious person he encountered on the ice plain had never been mentioned to anyone else.

Previously, when meeting Emperor Qian, Xiao Yi had intended to caution him.

But Emperor Qian outright supported Yang Kun and even wanted Xiao Yi to give up on Little Lin, so Xiao Yi hadn't disclosed the matter to him. Aside from himself, only that mysterious person in black robes knew about this.

How could Xiao Yun be aware of this?

Boom!

A chilling aura locked onto Xiao Yun standing before him, the room's temperature plummeted suddenly, a hint of coldness pervading the air, as Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Hiss!

Xiao Yun took a sharp breath. Under the oppressive aura of Xiao Yi's strength, it was as if invisible hands were gripping his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe. After a short while, Xiao Yun forced himself to say, "Institute Head, it's not important who I am. All you need to know is that I am a disciple of the Xiaoshanhe Institute and would never harm you, that's all!"

Xiao Yi leaned forward slightly, staring intently at him.

Time ticked by second by second.

After a dozen or so breaths.

The surrounding coldness abruptly vanished, and Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes again, "Speak, what is it exactly?"

Phew!

Xiao Yun let out a sigh of relief and began, "Institute Head, do you intend to use the Queen of the God-Eating Ants as the core to condense your Dharma Manifestation?"

Xiao Yi's eyes sharpened.

Xiao Yun's words once again pierced through the thoughts deep within his heart.

This sensation made him extremely uncomfortable.

Xiao Yun continued, "I also ask that the Director heeds my advice, you can use the Queen of the God-Eating Ants as the core to condense your Dharma image, but never make the breakthrough before the ancestral worship ceremony. Wait until the time of the ceremony—that is the correct moment for you to break through."

"Why?" Xiao Yi asked, puzzled.

Xiao Yun hesitated, then said, "The Dharma image of the God-Eating Ants is extremely unique and must be fully attributed to successfully condense the Dharma image of the God-Eating Ants, but even with full attributes, you can only condense one God-Eating Ants Dharma image, and not create an army of God-Eating Ants. Only by receiving the divine light and spirit during the ancestral worship ceremony can you fully activate the spirit of the Dharma image allowing it to merge with the God Sealing Seed in your body and gain the ability to create an army of God-Eating Ants..."

Boom!

No sooner had his words fallen than the star-spangled night sky suddenly reverberated with the sound of thunder.

Cutting off Xiao Yun's speech abruptly.

Wow!

Xiao Yun spat out a mouthful of blood, his complexion instantly turned pale.

Xiao Yi's pupils shrunk suddenly, at the moment the thunder roared, he felt an invisible pressure falling on Xiao Yun's body. He rushed forward, urging his vital energy into Xiao Yun's body, only to find that Xiao Yun's life force had significantly weakened.

His life span had been reduced by ten years!

"This..."

When had Xiao Yi ever seen such a thing?

A sudden reduction of ten years of lifespan?

Even a strong practitioner in the Nirvana Realm couldn't do it, right?

"Thank you, Director!"

Xiao Yun, bolstered by the vital energy from Xiao Yi, looked somewhat better and showed a forced smile to Xiao Yi. He said in a deep voice, "Director, you must wait until the ancestral worship ceremony to break through..."

Rumble, rumble!

Out of nowhere, a thunderbolt thick as a bucket descended from the heavens and with a loud bang crashed into the courtyard outside.

The little courtyard explosively shattered, taking the whole annex with it and leveling it to the ground.

Amidst the rising dust.

A spherical aura of condensed vital energy surrounded Xiao Yi, shielding him from the raging wind and rampant energy, but the crackling sound of thunder could still be heard wandering through the ruins. The sound of thunder from the horizon was incessant.

It was as if heaven itself was furious!

Huff, huff!

Huff, huff!

Xiao Yun's chest heaved violently, his complexion grew even paler. In that instant, his lifespan was reduced by another ten years!

Xiao Yi's expression was dark as water, "What in the world is going on here?"

With each sound of thunder, ten years of life were taken away.

The recent roar of thunder seemed like an angry bellow from the heavens itself.

He had never witnessed such a strange scene before.

Xiao Yun shook his head, revealing a pale smile, "Director, don't worry about me; I am just a little weak. You must remember my words, you must remember... remember..."

Xiao Yun's eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.

"Xiao Yun..."

Xiao Yi hurriedly checked his condition, finding Xiao Yun was simply too weak, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment...

Ye Heng, Shadow Demon, and others landed one after another in the annex, now a ruin, looking at the completely desolate scene as if a divine punishment had obliterated everything, they all looked at each other in dismay, "What, what exactly happened here?"

"Was that caused by the thunderbolt just now?"

"No need to worry, it was just a result of a breakthrough in my cultivation, I lost control while trying out a new martial technique!"

Xiao Yi shook his head and smiled, easing the doubts in everyone's minds. Then, after having Ye Heng take Xiao Yun to rest, Xiao Yi, who dismissed everyone else, stood among the ruins. Squinting his eyes, he muttered to himself, "Xiao Yun, who exactly are you? How do you know so many of my secrets?"

Crickle, crackle!

On the ground, bolts of lightning moved about as if responding to him.

"Enough!"

Xiao Yi clenched his fist quietly, "I'll trust you this time, but even if I have to wait until the ancestral worship ceremony for the breakthrough into the Dharma Manifestation Realm, I can still condense the Dharma image before then. Yang Kun... no matter who's backing you, if you dare to harm Little Lin, I will kill you!"
