What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? novel Chapter 258

As the thunder dissipated.

A hundred-meter deep, charred crater now marked the spot where Ye Xiuming had stood.

Yet, surprisingly, even after enduring such an attack, Ye Xiuming was not dead.

A broken jade pendant beside him was still faintly glowing.

Clearly, this pendant was a precious artifact that had saved Ye Xiuming’s life in the crucial moment.

Even so.

Ye Xiuming was severely injured, his entire right arm completely shattered.

His clothes were tattered.

Blood streamed from his seven orifices.

"Haha... hahaha! You’re truly a monster, kid. Quite the surprise!"

Coughing blood, Ye Xiuming let out a maniacal laugh.

"I’m impressed by your abilities. Pledge loyalty to me, and I’ll make you a servant of the Ye family.

Supreme techniques, a path to the heavens—whatever you desire, I’ll grant it to you!"

Hearing this, Ye Yu couldn’t help but think this guy was insane.

In truth, it wasn’t that Ye Xiuming was deranged.

In his long years of cultivation, he had encountered countless talents.

All had considered it an honor to serve the Ye family.

Besides.

Ye Xiuming held himself in high regard as a descendant of the Ye family.

He didn’t believe anyone would dare kill him.

Killing a member of the Ye family would be an act of irreconcilable vengeance!

Even though the Ye family had been secluded for ten thousand years, their formidable heritage gave Ye Xiuming unwavering confidence.

But what he didn’t know was.

Ye Yu was nothing like the cultivators he’d encountered before.

Crossing him could indeed be fatal!

Swish!

In an instant, Ye Yu appeared in front of Ye Xiuming.

He planted his foot firmly on Ye Xiuming’s head.

The force was so strong that Ye Xiuming’s face began to distort!

Feeling the thick aura of killing intent around him.

And sensing the gathering sword energy once again.

Ye Xiuming finally realized.

The man before him truly intended to kill him.

He quickly shouted, "You can’t kill me! I’m a direct descendant of the Ye family.

If you kill me, the Ye family will hunt you for eternity. Even if you reach the late stage of the Ascension Realm, you won’t escape death!"

Hearing this.

Ye Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Even a late-stage Ascension Realm cultivator wouldn’t survive?

So this was the hidden power of a secluded family?

However, Ye Yu was never one to fear such threats.

He preferred to eliminate all dangers while they were still in the cradle.

With a mere thought.

A single strand of sword energy swiftly ended Ye Xiuming’s life.

But Ye Yu didn’t leave right away.

Instead, he used one hand to set up a formation.

A barrier formed around him, ensuring that Tuoba Qiyue, standing some distance away, couldn’t see what was happening inside.

Then, Ye Yu once again activated the Myriad Soul Technique.

He began a soul search on the remnants of Ye Xiuming’s spirit.

The reason for all this effort.

Was to find out one thing.

What transaction had Lin Fengyuan made with the Ye family using the Wugou Sword Heart three thousand years ago?

Since Ye Xiuming claimed to be a direct descendant and had come searching for Lin Fengyuan, he likely knew something.

And sure enough.

In just a few breaths’ time.

Ye Yu uncovered the information he sought about Lin Fengyuan.

The Ye family’s Treasury of Treasures!

It contained records of all transactions between the Ye family and other cultivators.

Lin Fengyuan’s file was classified as Heavenly Level.

On the first page of this file were two names.

Lin Fengyuan/Lin Miaoxue!

Over thirty thousand years ago.

The mortal kingdoms were in constant turmoil.

Countless commoners were displaced.

Many young children were left orphaned.

At that time.

An eleven-year-old Lin Fengyuan and his seven-year-old sister, Lin Miaoxue, were among them.

In order to survive.

Lin Fengyuan willingly joined a third-rate demonic sect.

With a decent aptitude, he soon caught the eye of the sect master, who took special interest in him.

Two years later.

Thirteen-year-old Lin Fengyuan was full of ambition.

Lin Miaoxue’s Wugou Sword Heart awakened fully.
