My wife who comes from a wealthy family-Chapter 868 - 869: Return to Kunlun

Inside the cave!

"Thump!"

All the elders of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, led by the Grand Elder, dropped to their knees.

"I failed in my duties and let the thief escape. Sect Master, please punish me!" The Grand Elder knelt before the Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse, his face pale.

"My son, you died so tragically!" The Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse wailed in anguish as he held Li Tiandao’s corpse. "Why did you have to leave me so quickly after I entrusted the Heavenly Corpse Sect to you?"

"Sect Master, please restrain your grief!" The Grand Elder of the Heavenly Corpse Sect pleaded.

"Shut up! You haven’t lost a son, it’s easy for you to say!" The Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse raged and commanded, "Pass down my orders: execute the Grand Elder’s son!"

What?

The Grand Elder’s face turned ashen, and his body trembled violently.

Everyone gasped deeply, suddenly understanding the treacherous nature of serving someone as ferocious as a tiger!

"Can someone tell me what exactly happened? My son is dead, and my radiant beauty of a favorite concubine—where is she?" The Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse roared.

At that moment, a voice came through: "Sect Master, the Thousand-Change Demon Monarch has arrived!"

What?

The Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse immediately stood, his face lighting up with enthusiasm. "Quick, invite him in!"

Everyone froze in disbelief, watching how fast the Old Demon’s expression flipped, faster than a page turning!

The Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse might oppress them, but toward the Thousand-Change Demon Monarch at the pseudo-Unity Realm Stage, his attitude was exceedingly reverent!

In the realm of cultivation, it truly was survival of the fittest, where strength ruled supreme!

The Thousand-Change Demon Monarch appeared, accompanied by a few brothers from Evil Person Island.

"Brother Thousand-Change, you’re a pseudo-Unity Realm cultivator. Surely you can help me find out how my beloved disciple met his end?" the Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse implored.

"Of course!" The Thousand-Change Demon Monarch stood with hands behind his back and said calmly, "But this isn’t something I should involve myself in. If Brother Heavenly Corpse wants to know, you’ll have to pay extra."

"Fine, the price isn’t a problem!" The Old Demon nodded decisively.

Being a typical mercenary, the Thousand-Change Demon Monarch approached Li Tiandao’s corpse, placed a hand on it, closed his eyes, and began chanting ancient, malevolent incantations.

Moments later, the Thousand-Change Demon Monarch abruptly opened his eyes and said, "I know now."

"Brother Thousand-Change, tell me, what’s going on? How did my son die?" The Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse asked eagerly.

"Ha, I fear you won’t be able to handle the truth!" The Thousand-Change Demon Monarch sneered coldly.

The Old Demon instantly laughed bitterly. "How could that be? I’m a Sect Master and a peak Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator; there’s nothing I can’t endure!"

"Alright!" The Thousand-Change Demon Monarch nodded and waved his hand, conjuring a projection.

"This is what happened in the last half hour of Li Tiandao’s life. Watch closely!"

The Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse and all the Heavenly Corpse Sect elders stared intently at the projection.

When they saw Li Tiandao threatening to violate Su Yueli, uttering blasphemous and disgraceful words, all the elders of the Heavenly Corpse Sect were stunned and horrified!

"Oh my heavens, the Young Sect Master has gone mad!"

"He even dared lay eyes on the Sect Master’s woman!"

"Li Tiandao, you wretch! Courting death!" The Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse flew into a rage, reaching out with a hand. A ball of corpse fire formed in his palm and was hurled directly onto Li Tiandao’s corpse.

In an instant, Li Tiandao’s body was burned to ashes!

"A vile beast unworthy of life!" The Old Demon spat in fury.

"Li Tiandao betrayed the Sect Master’s trust; he deserved to die!"

"Indeed, even a thousand cuts wouldn’t have been enough to atone for his crimes!" echoed several Heavenly Corpse Sect elders.

The projection soon revealed Ye Wudao’s silhouette. Swift and deadly, he had effortlessly slain Li Tiandao with an efficiency that astounded everyone!

And when Ye Wudao had finally taken Su Yueli away, the Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse grew even more enraged!

"Who is this brat who dares steal my woman?" The Old Demon demanded.

"Reporting to Sect Master, this is the young man who escaped from our Heavenly Corpse Formation earlier!" answered an elder of the Heavenly Corpse Sect.

Crack!

The Old Demon clenched his fist, veins bulging on his face. "That brat has a death wish! How dare he covet my woman! Investigate him; I want every detail on him within an hour!"

"Understood!"

...

Dragon Country!

Kunlun!

Ye Wudao’s return to Kunlun stirred an uproar!

"The Young Master has returned!"

"Quick, greet the Young Master!"

Zhao Qingtian, Yan Donglai, and Dugu Zhan rushed forward excitedly!

Inside the grand hall.

When everyone saw Ye Wudao covered in blood, carrying a middle-aged woman on his back while holding Su Yueli’s hand, they were stunned. "Young Master, what happened to you?"

"It’s nothing..." Ye Wudao shook his head, dismissing their concerns. "Have my seven masters come out of seclusion yet?"

"Reporting to the Young Master, the Seven Saints of Kunlun have emerged from seclusion, but!" Zhao Qingtian answered, suddenly sweating heavily.

"But what?" Ye Wudao pressed urgently.

"After the Seven Saints left seclusion, they collectively departed for Kunlun Abyss and have forbidden anyone from approaching!" Zhao Qingtian explained.

"What?" Ye Wudao’s expression shifted, and he quickly said, "No, my mother is critically wounded, teetering on the brink of death. Unless the Medicine Saint intervenes, no one can save her. I must find them!"

What?

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingtian, Yan Donglai, and the others turned pale!

"What should we do?"

"We can’t just stand idly by and let the Young Master’s mother die..."

Suddenly, an aged voice reverberated: "Wudao, bring your mother to Kunlun Abyss!"

The voice of the Third Master!

"Yes!"

Ye Wudao, thrilled, immediately carried his mother away.

Kunlun Abyss!

A bottomless cliff!

On the opposite side was a gray, fog-covered mystery, connected only by a celestial iron chain!

Ye Wudao, Zhao Qingtian, and others all arrived at the scene!

"Is this the legendary Kunlun Abyss?"

"Rumor has it, the other side of the cliff is an enigmatic, forbidden region..."

"No one has ever ventured there!" Zhao Qingtian and Yan Donglai whispered amongst themselves.

"Third Master!" Ye Wudao was about to cross with his mother when a weathered voice suddenly stopped him: "Disciple, you may not proceed!"

Ye Wudao looked up and saw his Third Master in a white robe standing on the iron chain.

"Third Master, why?" Ye Wudao asked curiously.

"You are not yet permitted to enter this place!" The Third Master replied, extending his hand. "Hand your mother over. I will heal her!"

"Understood!" Ye Wudao did not hesitate and gently set his mother down.

The Third Master waved his hand, and a surge of power enveloped Jiang Qin’s body, gradually lifting her into his grasp.

"Third Master, how long until you return?" Ye Wudao inquired.

"I won’t be returning." The Third Master suddenly replied.

"What?" Ye Wudao and everyone else stared in shock, disbelieving what they had heard. "Why—why not?"

The Third Master shook his head and said, "Wudao, because we no longer belong to this mortal world. We have been chosen by the Void Spirit Realm."

Boom!

Ye Wudao was struck as if by lightning.

Void Spirit Realm!

Ye Wudao’s face was awash with shock!

Could it be that his masters had truly reached the legendary Void Spirit Realm?
