In fact, the Shangguan Family's Patriarch had already passed away. These two guards were only tasked to guard the entrance of the Shangguan Family. Their status wasn't high, so they didn't know that the Shangguan Family's Patriarch wasn't in the Shangguan Family.
Soon, the guard who left came back with another person.
Ye Xuan sensed the aura of a Half-Step Supreme-Being. However, he estimated that the person was only at twenty percent, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
"I'm Shangguan Xiong. May I ask who you are …?"
When the middle-aged man saw the weapon in Ye Xuan's hand, he was also very wary.
"Shangguan Xiong, what's your relationship with Shangguan Lie?" Ye Xuan looked at him and asked.
"Shangguan Lie is my elder brother." Shangguan Xiong replied.
"I see."
Ye Xuan nodded. Then, he strode forward and slapped Shangguan Xiong's shoulder. At the same time, he shouted, "Come with me."
Shangguan Xiong was shocked. He knew that Ye Xuan wasn't weak, but he didn't expect him to be this strong.
"Sir, you dare to fight in the Vast Sky City?" Shangguan Xiong asked in horror.
"Hehe, with my Great Emperor's Will sealed to forty percent, no one in the Vast Sky City is my match." Ye Xuan said softly.
Sealed to forty percent with Great Emperor's Will!
Shangguan Xiong's body trembled. One had to know that the strongest person in the Shangguan Family could only seal to thirty-five percent. However, this young man, Ye Xuan, managed to seal to forty percent. He definitely had a strong background.
Such an expert was enough to slaughter the current Shangguan Family. After all, the Family Patriarch, Shangguan Lie, and a few other experts weren't in the Shangguan Family.
"Okay, I'll go with you!" Shangguan Xiong replied.
"Forget it, I'll stay in your Shangguan Family." Ye Xuan suddenly changed his mind and said, "Bring me in. If you do anything, you'll die in my hands."
"Okay!"
Shangguan Xiong wasn't strong enough, so he could only compromise. He glanced at the two Eighth Order Great Emperor guards and said, "You two continue to guard the door. Pretend that nothing happened."
"Yes!"
The two guards immediately nodded. They were scared to death. How could an expert with forty percent of Great Emperor's Will come to the Vast Sky City?
After that, Shangguan Xiong led Ye Xuan into the Shangguan Family's house.
On the way, Shangguan Xiong met some people from the Shangguan family, but Shangguan Xiong explained Ye Xuan's identity as a friend.
Soon, he brought Ye Xuan to his study.
"Very good. As long as you cooperate, your Shangguan Clan will be fine." Ye Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
Although the Wolf Fang General had put away his sword, with his realm, he could still kill Shangguan Xiong in one move.
"Sir, what do you want to do?"
Shangguan Xiong immediately asked.
There was no one around, so Ye Xuan didn't need to pretend anymore. He went straight to the point and asked, "What's the relationship between the Shangguan Clan and the Ghost Sect?"
Boom!
This question was like a blow to Shangguan Xiong's mind, blowing him up.
How did Ye Xuan know that the Shangguan Family was related to the Ghost Cult?
"Your Excellency, what are you talking about? How could my Shangguan family …" Shangguan Xiong immediately quibbled.
"Don't deny it. Since I dared to come here, I'm a hundred percent sure." Ye Xuan snorted. "If I find out that you're lying, I'll kill you immediately. After that, I'll slaughter the Shangguan Clan and leave in a swagger."
"Gulp!"
Shangguan Xiong swallowed his saliva. After pondering for a while, he answered, "The Shangguan Clan is a division of the Ghost Cult."
When he saw that Ye Xuan wasn't joking, he had no choice but to compromise. After all, there were thousands of people in the Shangguan Clan. Ye Xuan could kill him and the two guards at the door.
With Ye Xuan's realm, he could kill without spilling blood or leaving behind a corpse. The Shangguan Clan would disappear without a trace.
"Very good. The disappearance of the high-level Empty God Realm Great Emperor in Heaven Vast City should be related to the Shangguan Clan, right? Where did you send the Ghost Lanterns? "Ye Xuan asked again.
"Every month, the Ghost Cult will send a special envoy to patrol and collect the Ghost Lanterns," Shangguan Xiong answered honestly.
"When will the Ghost Cult's special envoy come again?" Ye Xuan continued to ask.
"Tonight!"
Shangguan Xiong answered without hesitation.
"Tonight …"
Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and asked for more details.
The Ghost Cult's special envoy had a special identity. His combat power was at forty percent and his whereabouts were uncertain.
Tonight, Shangguan Xiong would arrive outside Heaven Vast City and hand the items to the Ghost Cult's special envoy.
The Shangguan Clan was just a division of the Ghost Cult. Since they didn't know where the branch was, Ye Xuan had to follow the Ghost Cult's special envoy.
Coincidentally, the Ghost Cult would occasionally come to recruit geniuses. Ye Xuan could impersonate the special envoy since his realm was higher than the special envoy's.
However, just in case, Ye Xuan asked Shangguan Xiong about the other divisions. He didn't want Shangguan Xiong to reveal the truth and cut off his trail.
Shangguan Xiong didn't agree at first. If the special envoy discovered something strange about Ye Xuan, the Shangguan Clan would be implicated.
However, if he didn't agree, Ye Xuan would slaughter the Shangguan Clan on the spot.
Therefore, he could only compromise.
Soon, night fell. Shangguan Xiong brought Ye Xuan to the designated location outside Heaven Vast City.
"Don't give yourself away. Otherwise, I'll have to kill both of you," Ye Xuan reminded again.
"Yes!"
Shangguan Xiong didn't dare to object. The lives of the entire Shangguan Clan were in his hands.
There was no moon tonight. It was pitch black.
Ye Xuan and Shangguan Xiong stood under a tree and waited. Before long, a black figure flew over.
Shangguan Xiong and Ye Xuan were on guard at first. When Shangguan Xiong saw the other party's face, he relaxed.
"Greetings, Lord Special Envoy!"
Shangguan Xiong hurriedly bowed and greeted him.
The special envoy was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance. He wore a black cloak.
"Who is this?" The special envoy of the Nether Sect asked directly after he approached.
"This is a genius of the Shangguan Clan. He has just sealed his body with 20% of the Great Emperor's will, so he wants to …" Shangguan Xiong hurriedly explained.
"Oh, give me the item."
The special envoy understood his meaning and didn't ask further. He only came here to collect items every month. He didn't know much about the Shangguan Clan.
Shangguan Xiong hurriedly took off an Interspatial Ring and handed it over.
Ye Xuan had checked this Interspatial Ring before. There was nothing strange in it, only a hundred Nether Lanterns.
"Very good. Kid, follow me."
The special envoy of the Nether Sect turned and left without another word.
Ye Xuan glanced at Shangguan Xiong and followed him.
After Ye Xuan disappeared from his sight, Shangguan Xiong heaved a sigh of relief. What he wanted to do now was to return to the Shangguan Clan.
If Ye Xuan's matter was exposed, the Shangguan Clan would be implicated. They would have to migrate secretly.
However, just as he was about to return to Heaven Vast City.
Someone had stopped him!
