After being exiled for eighteen years, the prince returned to the capital as a veritable immortal.

Pulled up by the giant hand reaching out from the vortex, Lady Jade Hook floated upwards once more.

Her anxious expression vanished, and she smiled happily:

“Zhou Yi, even if you are a Grandmaster, you have only just advanced.”

"With my Netherworld Clan's Celestial Ancestor making a move, let's see how you manage to keep me here!"

"All men of the Zhou family, go to hell!"

To her surprise.

Zhou Yi was not in a hurry at all; he simply pressed his fair palm down.

Her body stopped rising again.

The pulling force from the vortex was abruptly suppressed.

Followed by.

The large black hand suddenly trembled violently, clearly indicating that the opponent was going all out.

However, Zhou Yi remained calm and made no move.

But she seemed to be frozen in mid-air.

The vortex was so close, yet they couldn't enter.

The vortex is getting smaller and smaller; the teleportation array is about to shut down.

If she misses the teleportation, she will be completely finished once the Martial Emperor arrives.

Lady Yu Gou's tone finally softened:

"Zhou Yi, one should be lenient when one can."

"Ha, back then, did you spare my family?"

"How can you blame me for the massacre of your entire family? The real culprit is His Majesty, your imperial grandfather!"

Zhou Yi became interested: "Tell me. If you are innocent, I will not make things difficult for you."

Regarding the case of the massacre of his family, the details he currently knows are only from Jiang Chong's memories.

Jiang Chong was merely a killing weapon.

He knew very little about the underlying reasons.

For example, was Lady Yu Gou's goal really just to replace the Crown Prince with the Sixth Prince?

When Empress Wu issued the decree to exterminate the entire family, was she deceived or simply going along with the flow?

Or is he the mastermind behind it all?

Emperor Wu was, after all, his grandfather, and was responsible for the stability of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Zhou Yi would not openly turn against him until the facts were verified.

Lady Yu Gou was different.

She had already been pushed into the well by the Empress, and Zhou Yi didn't mind throwing rocks at her.

Even if she's not telling the truth.

If we summon a monster and examine her memories, many things will become clear.

As the whirlpool was about to dissipate, Lady Jade Hook's pleading voice trembled with sobs:

"If you don't leave now, I'm finished. Let me go to Wansuhai, and I'll tell you everything."

"No rush. If you are innocent, I will personally send you there."

Zhou Yi said calmly, "If your hands are stained with blood, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, you will be punished!"

"Hmph! Little skill, but big mouth!"

A cold snort came from the vortex.

The large black hand exerted force once more.

"boom!"

An overwhelming force suddenly exploded.

The dome vortex was actually blown into nothingness.

A dazzling white light, like a thunderbolt from the heavens, dispelled the darkness.

The underground palace was blown into a huge crater, and most of the Jiaofang Palace was destroyed.

at the same time.

A black figure was pulled out of the vortex and floated in mid-air.

A wide black robe covered his entire body, and a hood covered his dark face, revealing only his scarlet eyes.

A billowing, churning aura of death enveloped it.

Looking around, the shadowy figure clearly showed a bewildered expression.

Obviously.

He never expected to be pulled over from the other side of the vortex.

Lady Jade Hook was extremely excited:

"Thank you, Ancestor Ming, for coming to our rescue in person!"

The shadowy Nether Ancestor ignored her, his gaze fixed intently on Zhou Yi.

Is there something wrong with the formation?

He managed to avoid dragging anyone into the vortex despite his all-out effort.

How could that be? Instead, they dragged me here from thousands of miles away.

Moreover, the other party is so young and looks so frail.

"Is this guy the Ancestor of the Underworld?"

Si Xuan subconsciously gripped the Dragon Sparrow Blade tighter.

Wanshuhai, formerly known as Wandaolihai, was once a Western water paradise.

After the Netherworld race migrated there, it has now been transformed into the Netherworld Abyss.

And this Nether Ancestor is the patriarch of the Netherworld Clan.

"Haha, not bad, this is our Netherworld Ancestor."

Lady Yu Gou said proudly, "Wan Su Hai Tian Ren has already become a half-immortal, possessing the ability to communicate with heaven and earth."

An eighth-grade Celestial Realm cultivator, known as a half-immortal.

It is not an exaggeration to say that one can borrow the power of heaven and earth to communicate with the heavens and penetrate the earth.

Si Xuan's expression was solemn, and his heart was filled with unease.

The other party's cultivation level was a whole realm higher than Zhou Yi's; he was a veteran Celestial Immortal.

Zhou Yi.

As the Martial Emperor said tonight, he is only at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm.

Although the Nine Revolutions of the Divine Dragon is powerful.

However, if the leap is too large, even attempting a challenge beyond one's level will fail.

Obviously.

Lady Jade Hook understood this as well, and sneered:

"Zhou Yi, do you want to fight the Nether Ancestor who is above your level?"

"challenge?"

Zhou Yi smiled and shook his head, then beckoned to Ming Zu, "Bring it on."

"What a spirit!"

The Underworld Ancestor sighed, "Zhou Che has indeed raised a fine grandson."

Although, the little guy was a bit overconfident.

This spirit impressed him greatly.

"The Zhou family truly produces a wealth of talented individuals."

The Ancestor of the Underworld sighed with regret, "If my Myriad Seas had such talent, why would I not rise to prominence?"

Lady Jade Hook said bitterly, "It's a pity that he was just a hair's breadth away from escaping the annihilation of his entire family."

"You wicked woman."

Si Xuan angrily said, "As expected, they are hiding in the imperial court and undermining the foundation of the Great Qian Dynasty."

"Hahaha..." Lady Jade Hook laughed heartily.

Her smile vanished abruptly, replaced by a sinister grin:

"Me, vicious? The men of the Zhou family are the truly wicked ones!"

The second prince's birth mother, Consort Wang, and the sixth prince's birth mother both repeatedly said that the men of the Zhou family deserved to die.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "The men of our Zhou family..."

"The westward expedition burned our homeland into a deep abyss of hell."

Lady Jade Hook roared, "Shouldn't she die?"

"This is utterly turning black into white."

Hu Die retorted, "Your Netherworld Clan rules over the myriad islands, wielding the power of life and death, eating human flesh, and drinking the blood of the people..."

"The Great Qian's westward expedition was in accordance with the will of Heaven and to relieve the suffering people of the region."

"The reason why Wandao Lihai was burned into the abyss of hell is because you ignited the fire in the abyss."

Compared to the backwardness and cruelty of barbarian tribes, the Great Qian Dynasty was more civilized and treated its people more humanely.

Hu Die spoke with conviction and conviction.

……

"Jie Jie Jie..."

The Underworld Ancestor let out a strange laugh and unleashed his Dragon Claw, grabbing at the ancient book in Hu Die's hand.

This is, after all, the Great Qian Imperial Palace. With such a commotion, the Martial Emperor will surely arrive immediately.

If the emperor is present, it is not so easy for him to die peacefully.

Therefore, he directly snatched the book, intending to quickly retreat with Lady Yu Gou.

however.

Zhou Yi casually raised his hand to block.

"boom!"

The Dragon Probe of the Underworld was struck as if by a heavy blow and was violently bounced back.

He was terrified.

This child is terrifying!

At only twenty years old, he was able to withstand a blow from a demigod.

What shocked him even more was that his opponent also seemed to be using his full strength.

Mingzu thought to himself, "How could I possibly have the illusion that the other person is not much different from me?"

His arrogance subsided slightly, and he threatened in a deep voice:

"Back then, your grandfather, Emperor Wu, was on par with me."

"If we fight again today, the magnificent imperial palace, covering thousands of acres, will surely be destroyed in an instant."

"Little brat, hand over the ancient book, and I will lead my men to evacuate."

The Underworld Clan actually values ​​this ancient book so much.

For the first time, Zhou Yi and Hu Die turned their gazes toward the ancient books.

—The Book of the Dead.

Before Zhou Yi could answer, a deep and domineering voice rang out:

"Come and go as you please, what do you think my Great Qian Imperial Palace is?"

The figure of the Martial Emperor suddenly appeared on the scene.
