Chapter 455

"Why has this happened? Has the Ye family truly fallen? Damn the Green Demon Clan!"

"This? How can we explain this to the Young Master?"

Slowly flying out of the flying boat, looking at the devastated Ye family residence before them, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu were instantly at a loss.

As Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu traveled here, they first saw the world ravaged by war in Daoguang Commandery.

A vague suspicion had already taken root in their hearts.

But when the two personally witnessed the collapse of the Ye family's Mount Yunwu, the residence turned to ruins, and the possibility that tens of millions of Ye family clansmen were already reduced to bones.

Even so, in their hearts, they still could not accept what they had just seen.

"Voom!" "Voom!" "Voom!"

Just as the brothers Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu stood stunned by the tragic scene of the Ye family residence.

A slight vibration suddenly came from within Ye Zhaoheng's chest, emitting a series of sounds of spatial resonance.

The next moment.

A landscape painting flowing with Daoist aura flew out of Ye Zhaoheng's chest, expanded, and finally hovered above the Ye family residence.

Then, upon this landscape painting, a faint figure emitting seven-colored light slowly materialized.

Seeing this faint figure, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu snapped out of it, hurriedly bowed, and said in unison:

"Zhaoheng and Zhaoyu pay respects to the Young Master!"

This landscape painting, hovering above the Ye family residence and flowing with dense Daoist aura, was Ye Qingxuan's innate magic treasure, the World Map.

And the seven-colored faint figure appearing upon the World Map was formed from a strand of Primordial Spirit left by Ye Qingxuan within the World Map.

At this moment, Ye Qingxuan had no mood to attend to Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu.

Looking at the current state of the Ye family residence, Ye Qingxuan's face was gloomy.

The appearance of the wormhole channel had accelerated the shifting situation between the Di Xuan Realm and the Green Demon Realm, breaking his plans.

He knew that the emergence of the wormhole channel between the two realms would plunge various places in the Di Xuan Realm into chaos.

That was why, after the wormhole channel appeared,

he immediately dispatched the two brothers, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, to bring his innate magic treasure down the mountain to protect the Ye family for a time.

But he never expected that, as soon as signs of chaos began to show, the Ye family had already met its doom and destruction.

Looking at the tragic state of the Ye family residence and the demonic energy remaining in this world, Ye Qingxuan spoke word by word in a cold tone:

"Green! Demon! Clan!"

After seeing the traces remaining in this world.

Ye Qingxuan already knew in his heart that the Green Demon Clan invading the Di Xuan Realm was the one that destroyed the Ye family.

His spiritual sense surged out, rapidly scanning the surrounding world.

But no miracle occurred; Ye Qingxuan did not detect any sign of life in this world.

That is to say,

under the attack of the Green Demon Clan, the tens of millions of clansmen living in the Ye family residence were likely all reduced to bones, with no survivors remaining.

Thinking that tens of millions of Ye family clansmen had perished just like this.

As one born of the Ye family, Ye Qingxuan could not help but feel an anger surge within him that was hard to suppress.

His gaze swept coldly over the surroundings, looking at the demonic energy lingering between heaven and earth. Ye Qingxuan slowly extended his right hand and said softly:

"Gather!"

The moment his words fell, the demonic energy remaining in the Ye family residence instantly converged toward Ye Qingxuan's palm.

After collecting this residual demonic energy.

Ye Qingxuan circulated the spiritual power and the rules of the Dao within his body, and his voice spoke:

"Seek!"

Immediately, a special rule of Daoist aura gathered around Ye Qingxuan and flowed into the demonic energy in his palm.

He intended to use this demonic energy as a medium to locate the position of its master.

Although Ye Qingxuan had not cultivated minor divine abilities for investigation.

minor divine abilities were merely a deep-level application method of the rules of the Dao.

Ye Qingxuan's comprehension of the Cause and Effect rules had reached sixty percent of the realm.

Even though he had not cultivated minor divine abilities for investigation,

by leveraging the power of the Cause and Effect rules he had comprehended, Ye Qingxuan could still achieve his goals of investigation and calculation.

"Hmm? Not in this world? Have they already fled back to the Green Demon Realm?"

Sensing the information feedback from the Cause and Effect rules, Ye Qingxuan frowned slightly.

He did not doubt his investigation results.

Because even if that Green Demon who destroyed the Ye family had methods to evade his calculation,

as long as the opponent was still in the Di Xuan Realm, even if he could not calculate their location, he would eventually detect some clues.

Using this to confirm whether the opponent was in this world.

Based on the result of his recent calculation, the Green Demon who destroyed the Ye family had obviously already fled the Di Xuan Realm.

The power of the rules cannot be easily evaded by existences of the same level.

Even though this shallow application of the rules, while not as effective as true minor divine abilities,

was still far more powerful than some conventional spells.

Precisely because of this,

cultivators after the Soul Transformation realm, after coming into contact with the power of the rules,

besides the minor divine abilities that could assist them in wielding deeper levels of rule power.

For other spells, they would no longer waste time cultivating them.

Because no matter how powerful a spell is, it is merely an application and technique of basic energy.

As for cultivators beyond the Soul Transformation realm.

The destructive power generated by the rule forces unleashed with a casual strike already far exceeds the ultimate destructive power produced by high-level energy.

Starting from the Void Penetration realm, once a cultivator has initially mastered rule forces.

The gap between mid and high-level cultivators has already become an insurmountable chasm.

Even when Ye Qingxuan was at the peak of the Soul Transformation realm and had already comprehended multiple rule forces in advance.

As long as he had not broken through to the Void Penetration realm, had not completed the final transformation, and could not unleash the true power of rule forces.

He would not be a match for a Void Penetration realm expert for as long as that day lasted.

Rule forces cannot be underestimated, even by experts of the same tier.

Therefore, if the Qing Demon Clan that annihilated the Ye family still remained in the Earthly Profound Realm.

Even if he possessed special methods to conceal himself, preventing Ye Qingxuan from detecting his location.

With the demonic qi he left behind serving as a medium.

Ye Qingxuan would not have received zero information when calculating using the Rule of Causality.

Unless the opponent was a Qing Demon Clan member of the Empty Void realm who mastered special methods.

But that is an impossible occurrence.

Given the current situation, human border guards are stationed at the boundary, and the wormhole passage, due to the suppression of heaven and earth, can temporarily only transmit cultivators below the Empty Void realm.

Under these circumstances, a Qing Demon Clan member of the Empty Void realm could not possibly appear in the Earthly Profound Realm.

Therefore, based on the current calculation results.

It is undoubtedly true that the Qing Demon Clan member who annihilated the Ye family has already left the Earthly Profound Realm.

Thinking of this, the anger in Ye Qingxuan's heart could not be vented.

Suppressing the intense rage in his heart, Ye Qingxuan stood motionless in the air above the Ye family's encampment for a long time.

Although he had left the Ye family since the age of twelve and had very few daily ties with them.

Yet, the Ye family was ultimately the clan of his origin; how could the entanglement of bloodlines be severed so easily?

Otherwise, how could there be cultivation families with lineages spanning tens of thousands, or even more, years in the cultivation world?

If it is difficult to sever ties even within a single race, let alone a family bound by bloodlines?
