Below the Sky Tower, more than a thousand survivors of the Yutian Clan gathered.
They didn't know what was going on yet, so they were all whispering to each other.
It wasn't until Yutian Jingya and Heaven Riding Peak were escorted to the crowd by the assassins that a huge commotion broke out.
Heaven Riding Peak was the temporary head of the clan. Although he didn't have the bloodline of the Yutian Clan, he still carried the Yutian Clan's name. He was also the most powerful cultivator among the younger generation of the Yutian Clan, which was why he was recognized by the majority. They hoped that he could lead the Yutian Clan out of this predicament.
Why were they imprisoned now?
Yutian Jingya had already woken up. Her face was pale, and she didn't even have the desire to struggle.
Heaven Resisting Peak, on the other hand, was dumbfounded. He hadn't done anything, so how did he get caught?
Soon, Yutian Mengdie walked to the front of the crowd, escorted by Xu Xiang and a few elders.
"Greetings, First Miss."
Everyone bowed. Yutian Mengdie was the last remaining core member of the Yutian Clan. Although she had left the Yutian Clan for hundreds of years and many people had forgotten her, the clan was now at a critical juncture. The fact that she could return to the Yutian Clan at such a time touched many people.
"Everyone, please listen to me. I came back this time to investigate the truth behind the deaths of my father and my clansmen. After my investigation, I can confirm that the mastermind behind the Yutian Clan's destruction is Yutian Jingya, who's behind me …"
Mengdie explained how Yutian Jingya colluded with the Spiritual Mountain Sect and worked with Gu Qingting to break through the Sky Realm's defensive line, causing the Yutian Clan's destruction.
The more the crowd listened, the more shocked they were. They were all furious and looked at Yutian Jingya with murderous eyes.
Among the clansmen present, either their wives or husbands had died. Some families only had one person left. They had suffered such a terrible blow. They thought that the culprit was only the Divine King, Ye Guihong. They didn't see any hope of revenge against such a strong enemy. But now, someone was telling them that Yutian Jingya was the cause of the Yutian Clan's destruction.
In an instant, everyone wanted to kill her.
This wasn't unexpected to Mengdie.
She turned to Yutian Jingya and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
"I am willing to atone for my sins with my death, but please let my son go. Feng'er is not very talented, and he has not done anything to harm the Heavenly Clan."
"Mother …"
No matter how stupid Heaven Resisting Peak was, he understood what was going on at this moment, and his eyes were filled with tears.
"Feng 'er, don't cry. In the future, Mother won't be able to protect you anymore. You have to take good care of yourself. If you don't like to cultivate, then don't force yourself. Do what you like to do, and don't avenge Mother.
Meng Die coldly glanced at Yutian Jingya. "If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"
She continued, "As for how to deal with this mother and son, please raise your hands to vote."
Soon, the results were out. Most of the clansmen wanted to execute Yutian Jingya, but not many wanted to execute Heaven's Guard Peak. It was clear that Heaven's Guard Peak hadn't done anything wrong to the Heavenly Clan.
"If that's the case, then it's decided. From today onwards, Heaven Riding Peak will be expelled from the Boundless Sky Realm. From now on, they are forbidden from using the Heaven Riding Clan's surname. Yutian Jingya … will be executed immediately!"
…
The matter of the Heaven Riding Clan was finally settled. Although the dead couldn't be revived, and Divine King Ye Guihong still couldn't be shaken, this was the best result that could be achieved.
At this moment, Su Chen and Meng Die had just arrived at the Ancient Garden, and once again entered the Heaven Riding Treasury.
Su Chen took out the Heaven Engulfing Seal.
In an instant, countless rays of light were released from the Heaven Engulfing Seal. The light entered the interior of the warship, and the entire warship seemed to come alive.
Su Chen had a rough idea of the use of the Heaven Engulfing Seal.
Using the Heaven Engulfing Seal gave him the highest authority to control the warship.
Although the warship didn't have any power and couldn't move, its internal functions were still relatively intact.
Su Chen wasn't in a hurry to plunder the treasures, and Su Chen didn't plan to take them either. After all, these were the property of the Heaven Riding Clan, and belonged to Meng Die. He wouldn't take it without permission. Moreover, the Heaven Riding Clan was starting to recover their vitality, and they needed these treasures to replenish their vitality.
After knowing some things about the warship, Su Chen realized that perhaps the true wealth of the Heaven Riding Clan wasn't the elixirs and treasures, but the warship itself.
The moment he obtained the highest authority, a part of the information entered Su Chen's mind.
A part of it was about the origin of the warship.
Although he wasn't very clear, Su Chen was certain that the Heaven Riding Ship was born before the Primordial Universe was created!
In other words, this warship had already existed before the Great God Pangu created the universe.
People called the era before the Primordial Universe Era Primordial Chaos.
This was because during that period of time, there was nothing in the world, and it was shrouded in endless primordial chaos.
Most historians agreed that before the Great God Pangu created the universe, there weren't any living beings.
However, this didn't make sense. If there weren't any living beings before the Great God Pangu created the universe, where did he come from?
People said that the Great God Pangu was an extraordinary holy spirit born from the universe.
However, this explanation was obviously full of loopholes.
It was just that everything about the Primordial Chaos Era was shrouded in fog. No one knew what happened during that period of time, and no one knew what the world under the Primordial Chaos Era was like. People were always fearful of the unknown, and didn't dare to casually discuss or guess.
Unfortunately, although Su Chen was sure that the origin of the Heaven Riding Ship was shocking, the power furnace was gone, and there was no way to truly activate this mysterious warship, so he couldn't find out its true secrets.
"The inventory of the treasury has been completed, and I've taken out some treasures. Maybe you'll like some."
As she spoke, Meng Die took out a large pile of top-grade fire-elemental elixirs, as well as a pile of supreme-grade fire-elemental ores, elixirs, and hundreds of fire-elemental Saint artifacts.
She took out almost all the fire-elemental treasures in the treasury.
Su Chen blushed with shame. "Are they all for me?"
"No one in the Heavenly Clan cultivates fire-elemental cultivation techniques, so there's no point in keeping these things. Don't you happen to cultivate fire-elemental cultivation techniques? Giving these to you will make the best use of them, so just accept them."
Su Chen pinched Meng Die's cheeks. "Aren't you abusing your position for personal gain? Aren't you afraid that the clansmen will gossip?"
"What's wrong with that? The treasury was left to me by my father, so it's only right that I take out a portion of it as my dowry. Besides, the Heavenly Clan has declined to such a state, so even if I leave all these treasures to them, they won't be able to use them. It's a waste to leave them here for nothing."
So they were all dowry.
Su Chen laughed. "Then, I'll reluctantly accept it, Hubby."
