According to Yang Xuan's understanding, it was true that the Clear Jade Great Empress had been buried on Planet Clear Jade. However, this great empress had only passed away in meditation. Her corpse had not been left behind. Instead, it had been blown away by the wind and transformed into the plants and animals on Planet Clear Jade.
Hence, even if Yang Xuan didn't stop that young master from robbing the tomb, he wouldn't have gained anything.
The hole wasn't deep. It seemed that these people hadn't dug for a long time. They had only dug about twenty to thirty meters before the rock beneath the soil was exposed.
Yang Xuan was about to wave his hand to bury the hole when he suddenly froze. Then, a bright light shot out from his eyes.
Under the broken rock, a corner of a black coffin was revealed.
For a moment, Yang Xuan's heart was filled with doubts.
According to the legends, Great Empress Qing Yao had passed away here. Her body had been blown away by the wind and nothing had been left behind. Why was there a coffin under her tombstone?
Could it be that the legends were false? In fact, Great Empress Qing Yao had left her corpse behind?
While his mind was racing, Yang Xuan reached out and grabbed. The hard rock was broken like tofu, revealing the thing inside.
It was indeed a black coffin made of wood. However, it didn't show any signs of decay. Under the starlight, it glowed strangely.
Yang Xuan jumped into the hole and came to the side of the coffin.
A gust of cold air blew against his face. The coffin emitted a chill that made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Yang Xuan circled the coffin a few times but didn't find anything else. There was only this coffin in the deep hole.
Thinking about it, Yang Xuan put his palms together and said to Cang Ming, "I'm sorry." Then, he grabbed the coffin lid and gently lifted it.
Creak!
The coffin, which was made of an unknown wood, let out an ear-piercing sound.
The massive chill condensed into white fog. It was like a demon or a ghost that directly pounced on him.
If an ordinary warrior was caught off guard, he would have been frozen into a popsicle by this massive chill. There was no exception.
However, Yang Xuan only gently waved his sleeves, and the white chill was dispersed. It landed on the nearby rock, forming a thin layer of ice.
However, Yang Xuan did not have the time to study the white fog. After the coffin was opened, the scene inside the coffin could be seen clearly.
The black coffin was covered with a thin layer of white gauze, and there was nothing else. On top of the white gauze, a white-clothed woman in a long dress was lying there quietly. Her eyes were closed, as if she was asleep.
This woman's appearance couldn't be considered to be extremely beautiful, yet she possessed a soul-stirring aura. She was like the white clouds in the sky that moved with the wind, and she was extremely ethereal and unfathomable.
Yang Xuan was extremely shocked.
The moment the coffin was opened, an aura that could suppress the heavens spread out, causing the entire Planet Qing Yao to tremble before disappearing.
At this moment, Yang Xuan had a strange feeling that the woman in the coffin seemed to have opened her eyes and glanced at him.
However, when he took a closer look, he found that the coffin was still the same coffin, and the woman was still the same woman. All the strange feelings had disappeared.
Yang Xuan's heart trembled. Could the woman in the coffin really be Great Emperor Qing Yao?
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated. His Spiritual Force probed the woman's corpse like flowing water.
However, just as his Spiritual Force approached, an extremely strong force suddenly attacked him. It directly pushed his Spiritual Force away, and he couldn't get close to the woman's body.
Yang Xuan sucked in a breath of cold air and involuntarily took a few steps back.
At this moment, he actually had a strange feeling that the woman in the coffin was still alive.
However, after observing for a long time, the woman's eyes were still closed, and her body didn't even tremble. She couldn't be more dead.
After taking a deep breath, Yang Xuan closed the coffin lid again.
After thinking about it, he jumped out of the deep pit with the coffin in his hand.
Great Emperor Qing Yao's tombstone still stood there quietly. The starry sky was projected on it, and for some reason, it felt like it was real and illusory.
Yang Xuan, who was full of doubts, suddenly thought of Fang Rongxuan.
If the woman in the coffin really was Great Emperor Qing Yao, then Fang Rongxuan would definitely recognize her.
However, if the woman in the coffin wasn't Great Emperor Qing Yao, then who was she? Why was she buried under Great Emperor Qing Yao's tombstone?
In order to prevent the corpse from rotting, he released a cold air and wrapped the entire coffin. Then, he was about to put it into his storage ring. However, he was then stunned.
Because the coffin was still lying there quietly, he couldn't put it into his storage ring.
Yang Xuan was very curious. After several attempts, he finally confirmed that this black coffin really couldn't be put into his storage ring.
Helpless, he could only lift the black coffin with one hand and prepare to return to the Imperial Court Star to find Fang Rongxuan.
After waving his hand and burying the deep hole, Yang Xuan stood up and turned into a stream of light and rushed into the starry sky.
In the starry sky, there were layers of ripples under his feet. Yang Xuan was about to take a step in when he suddenly stopped and smiled bitterly.
This was because he realized that when he was carrying the black coffin, he couldn't even use the Spatial Bending Technique.
He tried to use the Lightning Teleportation that Bai Qi had invented, but he couldn't use it either. It was as if there was a strange magic on the black coffin that made his Dao technique lose its effect.
Helpless, he could only turn into a stream of light and increase his speed to the maximum, preparing to fly to find Fang Rongxuan.
Not long after flying, a huge battleship suddenly appeared in front of him. It floated quietly and stared at Yang Xuan covetously.
In the next second, a light beam as thick as a water bucket directly broke through the starry sky and attacked him.
Yang Xuan turned slightly and dodged the light beam. He was already frowning.
He had already confirmed that this fleet of flying ships in front of him was the reinforcements called by those who had escaped.
Yang Xuan didn't want to pay attention to them, but his heart suddenly moved.
Originally, if he could use the Spatial Bending Technique, his speed would be much faster than interstellar jumps. However, now that he couldn't use the Spatial Bending Technique, if he could ride a flying ship and use space jump, his speed would be much faster than flying by himself.
Whoosh!
Several figures left the flying ship and flew toward Yang Xuan.
Flying at the front was an old man with an Emperor-level cultivation. He wore a yellow robe and had a cold expression. His eyes flashed from time to time.
There were about 100 people behind him, and their cultivation levels were uneven. Among them were the injured who had escaped from the Clear Jade Planet.
In the distance, Yang Xuan heard someone talking.
"Family Head, it's him. He's the one who killed the Second Young Master."
Yang Xuan couldn't help but laugh. These people's speed of revenge wasn't slow. He hoped that their flying ship could be as fast as their speed of revenge.
The yellow-robed old man flew in front of Yang Xuan. He didn't look at Yang Xuan at first. Instead, he kept sizing up the black coffin in Yang Xuan's hand. After a while, he shifted his gaze to Yang Xuan's face and said coldly, "This old man is Li Zhengde from the Red Python Planet. Who are you and why did you kill my son?"
Yang Xuan didn't know who Li Zhengde was. He looked at the huge flying ship behind these people and thought about how many people he had to leave behind so that he could smoothly pilot the flying ship.
At this time, the injured who had escaped were all sizing up the black coffin in Yang Xuan's hand. They all had strange expressions.
One of them flew forward and whispered a few words in Li Zhengde's ear.
Li Zhengde was stunned at first. Then, his eyes lit up and he said in a deep voice, "Young man, leave the corpse of the Clear Jade Great Emperor, and I will spare your life."
