Yang Qian Ye felt like he was going to lose his mind. His father had perished when he was cultivating, but no one had informed him about it.

Yang Qian Ye took after his deceased mother’s surname to commemorate her. This was because when he was still a baby, she sacrificed herself in order to protect him and his father. His father also single-handedly raised him and doted on him, playing a huge role in him becoming the man he was today. In his heart, his father was more important than his own life. For his father, he also worked hard, becoming outstanding among his peers.

Apart from having a good innate talent, Yang Qian Ye was also very hard-working. In fact, he had spent so much time cultivating that his father even advised him not to go overboard. However, he was driven by his determination to protect his father and the 10,000 Devils Sect. In his opinion, the 10,000 Devils Sect was too weak, and there were too many forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion that could easily annihilate the sect. Even emperor-rank forces without an Emperor of Gods were more than enough to deal with the 10,000 Devils Sect.

At a very young age, Yang Qian Ye had once secretly sworn to his late mother that he would protect and take good care of his father. He had encountered many difficulties in the past, and there was once when his qi deviated when he was attempting to break through, and he almost went berserk. It was due to his father’s spiritual support that he was able to overcome his difficult times. This was also the reason he firmly believed his father was the reason for his achievements today. He did not even have to think twice about giving up his life if he could bring his father back to life.

“No! Impossible! There must be a mistake! Perhaps, father is still alive!” Yang Qian Ye said, becoming abnormally calm, “I should speak to my senior uncles and junior uncles in the sect! Perhaps, something is wrong with his Soul Pearl! That must be why it shattered… Right, that must be it. Father is fine! He has to be fine…”

Yang Qian Ye convinced himself with such words. However, when he brought out one of his senior uncles’ Soul Pearl to send a message, he hesitated. Fear tightened its grip around his heart as he thought to himself, ‘What if he’s really dead?’

“No, no, it’s impossible!”

Eventually, he gritted his teeth and sent the message. His body trembled involuntarily due to fear and nervousness. While he waited, he brought out a few more Soul Pearls and sent a few more messages. At this time, just one second felt like an eternity as he waited for his elders’ replies.

Then, the first reply arrived.

“Qian Ye, my condolences.”

“Junior nephew, my condolences. Don’t be sad. The sect leader is watching over you in heaven, and he definitely won’t want you to be sad…”

One after another, messages of condolence rang in Yang Qian Ye’s ears. He was frozen, unable to accept that his beloved father was gone.

…

It took Yang Qian Ye three days and three nights before he came to terms with the fact that his father was gone. He knew regardless of his sorrow, nothing would change. Although he had regained his senses, he felt as though his heart had died along with his father.

“Who killed my father?!”

Yang Qian Ye’s eyes flashed with cold killing intent, and the expression on his handsome face was dark. After a moment, he sent a message to his master, Yuan Han Jin.

“Master, my father passed away. I want to return to the 10,000 Devils Sect to find out the person responsible…”

Shock could be heard in Yuan Han Jin’s voice as he said, “What happened? Why did your father suddenly pass away? I’ll accompany you to the 10,000 Devils Sect. I’d like to know who dares to kill the father of my direct disciple!”

A hint of anger could be heard in Yuan Han Jin’s voice nearing the end of his words.

“Master…” Yang Qian Ye was moved when he heard his master’s words.

“Wait for me…”

…

Shortly after Yuan Han Jin’s message was sent, he arrived at Yang Qian Ye’s cultivation ground. He did not waste time and brought Yang Qian Ye to the 10,000 Devils Sect using a lord-grade flying ship with the speed of an advanced Lord of Gods.

“Master, there’s no need to travel so fast. We’ll need to use a huge amount of divine crystals to fuel the ship at such a speed, right?” Yang Qian Ye said hoarsely. His eyes were red as he looked at his master.

“You don’t have to worry about that,” Yuan Han Jin said in a low voice, “Unfortunately, the sect doesn’t have an emperor-grade flying ship. Otherwise, I would’ve borrowed it. With the speed of an advanced Emperor of Gods, it won’t take us half a day to arrive at the 10,000 Devils Sect.”

“Master…” Yang Qian Ye was moved by his master’s words, and his eyes turned redder.

…

The flying ship that flew at the speed of an advanced Lord of Gods finally arrived at the 10,000 Devils Sect a few days later.

Yang Qian Ye and Yuan Han Jin were quickly shown the recording from the Floating Image Pearl so they could investigate Lan Qing’s death.

After watching the recording, Yuan Han Jin muttered, “It’s definitely a man. He has a tall and burly figure… Based on the color of his Divine Energy, he comprehends the law of metal… Moreover, judging by his attacks, he should be an advanced Lord of Gods at least…” Then, he turned to Yang Qian Ye and asked, “Is there anyone among your enemies who matches this description?”

Yang Qian Ye shook his head.

Then, a Supreme Elder of the 10,000 Devils Sect bowed to Yuan Han Jin and said, “Elder Yuan, it’s impossible for our sect to make an enemy out of someone like that. Doing so is no different from seeking death. I suspect our sect leader offended an advanced Lord of Gods at some point. Or perhaps…”

The supreme elder trailed off, hesitating as he looked at Yang Qian Ye.

Yang Qian Ye said, “Father has always been meticulous and cautious when doing things. It’s impossible for him to offend someone like that. As for me, I’ve never offended anyone like that…”

Yang Qian Ye’s voice was hoarse, and his entire body felt cold. He had seen his father’s body earlier, and the grief threatened to overwhelm him immediately. He forcefully suppressed his grief and reminded himself that his father had once told him when he was a child that men should not shed tears easily.

Yuan Han Jin looked at the high-ranking officials of the 10,000 Devils Sect expressionlessly as he said, “Since your sect leader passed away some time ago, I’m sure you’ve already investigated the matter, right?”

“Yes,” a high-ranking official replied. He stepped forward and brought out a few Floating Image Pearls before he continued to say, “Elder Yuan, please have a look.”

A few recordings were played simultaneously, and the same person was featured in all of the recordings. The person was tall and burly, and there was something familiar about his back. It could be seen that he comprehended the law of metal.All in all, he matched the description that Yuan Han Jin came up with earlier except for the fact that he was an intermediate Lord of Gods.

“Who is he?!” Yang Qian Ye asked in a low voice as he stared at the supreme elders fiercely.

The supreme elders exchanged glances before one of them stepped forward and said with a sigh, “He’s Long Qing Chong, the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect. This was a recording from when he was still an intermediate Lord of Gods. He’s now an advanced Lord of Gods…”

Upon hearing this, Yang Qian Ye kneeled in front of Yuan Han Jin and said, “Master, please avenge my master!”

Yang Qian Ye was naturally no match for Long Qing Chong who was an advanced Lord of Gods. Moreover, the Flying Dragon Sect was not a sect that the 10,000 Devils Sect could afford to offend.

“If he’s the culprit, I’ll definitely avenge your father,” Yuan Han Jin said. Then, he added in a low voice, “However, I’m afraid if he denies it, there’s nothing I can do. Although the Flying Dragon Sect doesn’t have an Emperor of Gods, many Emperors of Gods are indebted to them. It’s easy to kill him. However, without concrete evidence, if I kill him, I’m afraid the Pure Yang Sect will be affected when those Emperors of Gods come looking for trouble.”

Yan Huan Jin shook his head and continued to say, “Regardless, we’ll have to visit the Flying Dragon Sect.”

…

Yan Huan Jin brought Yang Qian Ye to the Flying Dragon Sect to question Long Qing Chong.

Long Qing Chong naturally denied the accusations. It was unfortunate that the Devil’s Heart Blood Oath would not be able to prove his innocence since it would not work on past events.

Under such circumstances, Yuan Han Jin could only bring Yang Qian Ye away from the Flying Dragon Sect.

Yuan Han Jin let out a long sigh before he said, “Without concrete evidence, I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do. I hope you understand.”

Yang Qian Ye was eerily calm at this time. He looked at Yuan Han Jin and said resolutely, “Master, I want to enter the Supreme Divine Mansion.”
