I've waited for you for a thousand years, and I've lived this life just to meet you

When they stepped into the hall, everyone was stunned by the scene before them. The hall was actually empty!

A jade platform and the extremely precious purple phoenix jade blood jade should have been placed in the center of the hall, but they seemed to have evaporated into thin air and disappeared without a trace.

"What on earth happened? Why did the jade platform and the Purple Phoenix Jade Blood Bi disappear?" The Great Elder stared at the empty hall with eyes wide open and a look of disbelief on his face, his voice trembling slightly with astonishment.

He seemed unable to accept this incredible fact, and began to look around unwillingly, trying to find any trace left behind.

The second elder also showed a look of horror, and his body involuntarily took a step back, and said in a trembling voice: "This...what on earth is going on?"

His eyes quickly swept across every corner of the hall, and finally shook his head helplessly, indicating that he found nothing.

"Who on earth could sneak in here and steal things so secretly?" Ling Qian frowned and muttered to himself in confusion.

As soon as the words fell, several people came to their senses and looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise and anxiety.

This is really incredible.

You should know that this Samsara Palace has already been set up with formations, which are difficult for ordinary people to discover.

What's more, the jade platform and the purple phoenix jade blood jade are royal treasures, and Ling Zhenhan is required to enter through the stone gate.

But now, this Purple Phoenix Jade Blood Bi has inexplicably disappeared, and everyone can't help but feel a deep fear and worry...

"Rumble..."

A dull and loud noise suddenly came from the closed stone door on the left.

At this moment, the air seemed to have frozen and there was deathly silence all around.

Their tense nerves were startled by the sudden sound, and an inexplicable fear spread in their hearts.

Then, a bone-chilling cold air rushed towards them.

In an instant, they felt every hair on their body stand up and goose bumps covered their whole body.

"Could it be that the ancestor appeared in spirit?"

Ling Qian said tremblingly, his words full of disbelief and fear.

"Ahhh... Could it be that the ancestors are going to jump out of the coffins?" Ling Zhenhan guessed in horror.

Hearing this, even the usually calm First Elder and Second Elder became extremely solemn.

The Great Elder frowned, thought for a moment, and said decisively, "This isn't a solution. Quickly send someone to prepare some offerings and perform a proper worship."

After saying that, they hurriedly walked out of the stone gate, passed through the dark and narrow passage, and returned to the palace.

They rushed towards the stone gate on the left again.

When Ling Zhenhan opened the stone door and stepped into the passage, a strong sense of gloom hit him and he couldn't help but shiver.

The entire passage was filled with a damp smell, and the night pearls on the walls flickered with light, making the place look even more eerie and terrifying.

Not long after, they entered the temple.

Seven coffins were still neatly arranged in the hall. The Second Elder walked forward cautiously and carefully examined each coffin.

"Hey! There's a corpse missing here!" The second elder suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"What?" They were all shocked when they heard it, and quickly gathered around and came forward.

When they saw the scene clearly, everyone's face showed an expression of extreme horror.

"No...how could this corpse be lost inexplicably?" Ling Qian asked stutteringly.

"Could it be that these corpses were too hungry and ate that corpse?"

Ling Zhenhan's originally hilarious remarks were no longer funny to anyone.

On the contrary, when they heard these words, they not only couldn't laugh, but couldn't help but gasp, and the fear deep in their hearts became more and more intense.

"Asshole!"

Ling Hao was so angry that his eyes widened and his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

He stared at Ling Zhenhan with uncontrollable anger. If looks could kill, Ling Zhenhan would have died a thousand times already.

Just at this moment, the originally heavy coffin lid suddenly made a "click" sound.

This sudden sound was like a thunderbolt piercing the sky, instantly drawing everyone's attention to the coffin.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the coffin that made the sound, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

There was an indescribable look of horror on everyone's face.

"Could it be... could it be... that the ancestor is angry?"

Ling Zhenhan stammered, his voice filled with undisguised fear.

At this moment, he was so scared that his face turned pale as paper, his legs were weak, and he was about to collapse to the ground.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and Ling Zhenhan knelt on his knees and kowtowed desperately.

He kowtowed, muttering to himself, "Ancestors, please forgive me, your unfilial descendant, Ling Zhenhan, for the rudeness of disturbing you! We have come here today to pay our respects to our ancestors. We hope you will appease us!"

At the same time, the second elder rushed to the coffin that was making the noise at an extremely fast speed.

He gathered himself, then carefully peered inside the coffin. The corpse lay there quietly, eyes closed, motionless.

And spiritual energy was surrounding its body, which was surging and flowing slowly around the corpse.

However, after careful observation, the second elder could hardly feel any sign of life in the corpse.

Just at a glance, one could clearly see a vague soul figure clinging to the corpse.

What is surprising is that this soul body not only survives tenaciously, but what is also surprising is that its existence in the world is so short.

At this moment, the corpse tightly wrapped by the soul body seemed to have some problems.

The second elder looked closely and saw a man wearing a simple cotton robe.

The old man has a handsome face and a slender figure. He doesn't look thin at all and gives people the impression of being extremely strong and powerful.

Looking at the old man's face again, he was even more kind and amiable, revealing a kind of majesty and dominance that was otherworldly and above the earth.

At this moment, the quiet old man trembled all over, suddenly broke out of the corpse, and slowly opened his tightly closed eyes.

“The Emperor?” The Second Elder cried out in shock upon seeing this, his face filled with horror.

"What? The emperor?" The first elder was also shocked after hearing the second elder's exclamation.

Before he finished speaking, they quickly flashed to the side of the second elder.

"Brother!"

Ling Qian opened his mouth and stared blankly at the soul body in front of him. He was so shocked that he was completely speechless.

"Father?"

Ling Zhenhan also widened his eyes, staring at the scene in front of him, muttering to himself.

"Haha, it seems you still remember me!"

Accompanied by a hearty yet slightly vicissitudes of life laughter, a figure slowly floated in the air.

When they looked closely, they saw that it was Ling Hao!

Why did he let the soul leave the body?

Seeing this, the Great Elder frowned and said with a worried look on his face, "Brother, what kind of cultivation technique are you practicing? How can you easily allow your soul to leave your body? This is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, it will bring you great trouble!"

Ling Qian echoed, "Brother! Haven't you been practicing in seclusion in your secret room? How did you suddenly appear in this ancient tomb?"

The second elder, who was silent on the side, narrowed his eyes and stared at Ling Hao's soul body.

Suddenly, his eyes widened, his voice trembling slightly, "Brother, please don't tell us that your body has been taken over by someone else."

Everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

Ling Hao nodded calmly and said calmly, "Yes, Second Elder is indeed very clever and guessed the truth immediately. That's right, my body has been taken over by someone else."

"What? Someone is so bold! Who did it?" The Great Elder roared in anger.

"Ling Ren!" Ling Hao uttered the name softly.

"Who? Ling Ren?"

they exclaimed in disbelief.

"Exactly this person."

Ling Hao sighed helplessly and continued, "Ah! It's hard to put it into words! It's all because I was too outstanding when I was young. Not only did I sit on the throne, but I was also deeply loved by my father, the emperor, and my mother, the empress, and even married the most outstanding woman in the Southern Smoke Continent.

It was these things that made him jealous and resentful, and he finally chose to take over my body.

Oh! This is really unexpected..."

"The one who cooperated with him to take over my body was Concubine Rong Yu Sina, my good daughter-in-law." Ling Hao gritted his teeth, but said weakly.

Hearing this, Ling Zhenhan widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "What? How is this possible? Sina...how could she do such a thing?" He didn't expect it to be Concubine Rong.

Ling Hao looked at his useless son, a trace of disappointment and heartache flashing in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Ling Zhenhan! I am your father! Do I have to lie to you? If it weren't for her, how could Ling Ren have easily entered my secret room?"

Ling Zhenhan opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

He wanted to explain, but he swallowed the words back and muttered, "This... Father... she..."

Ling Qian, standing by, stared coldly at Ling Zhenhan and rebuked him mercilessly, "Even at this point, you're still trying to protect her! Your father has been harmed by them to the point of losing his body. Do you really have to watch your father's soul shatter before you'll stop?"

Ling Zhenhan hurriedly shook his head and explained in a panic, "Uncle, I didn't mean that. I just never doubted her."

He found that his words were so pale.

Ling Qian snorted coldly and continued, "Humph! You are so naive! The reason why Concubine Rong married you was not because she loved you so much, but because she fell in love with the royal family's Purple Phoenix Jade Blood Jade."
