Into The Sky

During the civil war in the Southern Tang Empire, in the tallest building of the Northern Sky Bearing Empire, Jiang Baiqiu was reporting an important matter to Yangyan Jue!

"Martial House Master, there's something new with Xu Chen." Jiang Baiqiu stood behind Yang Yan Jue. He didn't know why, but his expression was one of indecision.

"Continue." Yang Yan Jue didn't have much of a reaction as he calmly said with his back still facing Jiang Baiqiu.

"Xu Chen's corpse is fake! He really did run away two months ago!" Jiang Baiqiu gritted his teeth and braced himself as he spoke.

Yang Yan Jue fell silent when he heard this. Jiang Baiqiu lowered his head even lower as the entire room fell silent.

When Yang Yan Jue spoke again, his tone was as calm as ever.

"There are so many experts in the Cheng Tian Manor. I didn't even know that a trash who doesn't know how to cultivate has run for two months. This is great!"

Jiang Bai Qiu couldn't see Yang Yan Jue's expression and found it hard to guess what Yang Yan Jue was thinking. He frowned somewhat doubtfully.

However, when Yang Yan Jue's hands pressed down on the edge of the window, his heart chilled.

"Mansion Lord, please calm your anger!" Jiang Baiqiu promptly kneeled on the ground. He could tell that Yang Yan Jue was really angry this time!

"The maid next to Xu Chen has the Unparalleled Body. The Xu family used the Unparalleled Body to send Xu Chen away, so they did not notice. This subordinate is incompetent, and asks the Manor Lord to punish him!" Jiang Bai Qiu's expression was a bit panicked, but he tried his best to speak calmly.

"Using Wu-Shuang's body to exchange for a dying good-for-nothing, the Xu family is really putting in a lot of effort!"

Yang Yan Jue's deep eyes lit up. He said, "No matter what, I don't care whether Xu Chen lives or dies. We must obtain what he sees on the divine stone!"

"Then the Xu family …" Jiang Baiqiu probed Yang Yan Jue with his gaze, only to discover that there were two deep claw marks on the windowsill he had grabbed earlier. This caused his heart to grow cold as cold sweat flowed down his back.

"Investigate first, then kill!" A trace of killing intent flashed across Yang Yan Jue's eyes. He was well aware of the importance of this matter.

The divine stone was imprinted with a Tian Dao class cultivation technique. The entire Eastern Xuan Continent could be described as extinct. For this, the Sky Bearing Empire would not hesitate to spend eighteen years to obtain it.

As such, this matter would not stop just because of Xu Chen's death or death. There had to be a conclusion!

At the same time, if such a cultivation technique were to fall into the hands of the Xu family, the consequences would be unimaginable. This was also what Yang Yan Jue was most worried about!

Therefore, no matter what, the Xu Clan could not stay, or else the future troubles would be endless!

"Understood." Jiang Baiqiu didn't want to linger any longer at this point. He responded respectfully and left in a hurry.

After Jiang Baiqiu left, three messenger birds flew out from the Residence of Heavenly Bearing Empire, flying in different directions towards the other three residences.

At the same time, the Sky Bearing Empire sent out their hidden guardians. A large number of Divine Veins cultivators flew out of the Sky Bearing Empire towards the Xu family with great momentum!

On the same day, the other three Heaven Palaces also sent out a large number of experts in the direction of the Xu family!

The entire situation in the northern lands began to surge, making all the forces there uneasy. A huge storm was coming!

Everyone could tell that the four Heavenly Palaces were joining hands to suppress the Little Heaven Manor's Xu family, and even wanted to wipe out the Little Heaven Manor's Xu family.

As a result, many forces in the Northern Lands that had connections with the Xu Family had cut them off at the first possible moment. Moreover, it had been announced to the outside world that they would no longer be in contact with the Xu Family.

Those who had received Xu Chen's favor also secretly delivered letters to the Xu family.

He expressed his agreement with the Xu family, but other than the letter, there was no other movement.

On the surface, some of them even joined the suppression army of the four great Heaven Palaces!

This was what it meant when no one came to deliver coal in the middle of a snowstorm.

In less than a day, the majestic Little Heaven Manor of the Northern Lands had been isolated!

The current Xu family could only be described as in a precarious situation.

Ever since Xu Chen had been transferred out of the Sky Bearing Empire, the Xu Family had been closely watching the movements of the four Heavenly Palaces.

The Xu family also received the news of the Four Great Heavenly Palaces' every move.

Even the other forces in the Northern Lands could feel the oppressive pressure from the black clouds. As the center of the storm, the Xu Family was the strongest force!

At this moment, in the Xu family's residence, Xu Liyang and Xu Fusheng were also having an important conversation.

However, the father and son duo remained silent for a long time. The atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing.

"Xu Liusheng, take the younger generation members of the Xu family and leave the northern lands." Xu Liyang said after a long silence.

"Father and uncles won't go together?" Xu Fusheng frowned and asked.

"The elders of the Xu family have all died in the hands of the four great heavenly families. If they leave now, the Xu family probably won't even have a place to stand on the Eastern Xuan Continent!" Xu Liyang's eyes narrowed.

"If the four Heavenly Palaces want to destroy our Xu family, someone must also tell them that the Xu family is not someone they can slaughter!"

"Since that's the case, why are we still leaving?" Xu Fusheng had already guessed what his father wanted to do, but he still wanted to ask.

"Leave a seed for the Xu Family!" Xu Liyang stared deeply at Xu Fusheng, his eyes full of hope.

"I don't think our Xu Clan will be able to leave the Northern Reaches now." Xu Fusheng had only told his father about the matters of the four Heaven Palaces.

He had hidden many other things, such as the fact that many powers had cut off all ties with the Xu family. There were also a lot of powers that had added insult to injury, joining the army that was trying to suppress the Xu family.

Xu Liyang looked at Xu Fusheng for a long time. As the head of the Xu family, he had a very rich eye and experience.

He could see and guess most of the things that happened, and he had a rough understanding of them.

Xu Liyang looked at Xu Fusheng for a long time. Xu Fusheng knew that his father had already figured it out and thus did not say anything, which meant that it was just as his father had thought.

Xu Liyang's heart was a little mournful. He looked at the vast sky outside and did not speak for a long time. He also did not bring up the matter of letting the young generation leave.

"Floating Life, do you think I'm right or wrong for doing this?" Xu Liyang looked at the sky outside and asked with a tinge of emotion.

Although he didn't say what he wanted to do, Xu Fu knew in his heart that he had exchanged the Sky Bearing Empire for Xu Chen.

"Father, a clear conscience is right." Xu Fusheng said with a calm face. He did not panic because of the current situation.

"Our Xu family has the status we have now. Your second brother, Xu Chen, has done very well."

"A clear conscience, those four words were spoken well as well." Xu Liyang sighed, "What should come will eventually come."

The situation in the north had become tense. The war in the capital of the Eastern Divine Region's Southern Tang Dynasty had died down at this moment.

Xu Chen and the other two followed the citizens of the Southern Tang Imperial City for a few days to observe before they followed them back down the mountain.

Right now, the smoke from the war in the Southern Tang Imperial City had just dispersed, and the corpses of the soldiers who had died in the war had also been cleaned up.

Aside from the thick smell of smoke that pervaded the imperial city, there was also the thick smell of blood. However, apart from this, the entire Southern Tang Imperial City had not suffered any huge damage.

Aside from the fact that most of the houses had been damaged, the structure of the buildings was still relatively intact.

As Xu Chen and his group walked along the streets of the imperial city, they saw many citizens starting to renovate their houses.

"Xu Chen, you're so awesome. This battle didn't last long. How did you see that?" Su Xiaoyue bounced around Xu Chen like a little sparrow.

"It's simple. If the fight for the throne lasts for too long, the other empires will easily take advantage of it. Thus, none of the wise rulers will let this war linger on for too long." Xu Chen said.

"Then how do you know that the current rulers of this empire are wise?" Su Xiao Yue was curious.

"I guessed it. At least half of it could be guessed correctly." Xu Chen smiled.

"Fine." Su Xiaoyue thought for a moment and understood what Xu Chen meant. She asked, "Where are you going now?"

"I don't want to go anywhere. I think it's pretty good here." Xu Chen said.

"But I want to go to the academy." Su Xiaoyue begged, "Can you come with me?"

"No." Xu Chen looked at Su Xiaoyue and said seriously.

Although Xu Chen said he was travelling, he knew that there were many things that were more important than travelling.

Especially these past few days, his heart was getting more and more uneasy.

Xu Chen thought of everything he could to increase his own strength.

This was because the mountain range of the four Heaven Palaces was truly large, so large that it could suppress Xu Chen to the point where he couldn't even breathe.

One must know that the Four Great Heavenly Palaces were first-rate powers on the Eastern Profound Continent. Experts were as common as the clouds. Patriarch Changsheng alone could challenge the entire Xu Family.

With Xu Chen's current cultivation of the 6th level of the Body Transformation realm, as long as Jiang Bai Qiu wriggled his fingers, he would be able to kill him.

Xu Chen also knew that the closer Su Xiao Yue got to him, the more dangerous it would become in the future, even though the danger hadn't arrived yet.

However, as a friend, Xu Chen had to consider Su Xiao Yue's safety.
