CHAPTER 894: CHAPTER 888: HEADLESS EMPEROR

Just as she was hesitating, Ye Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and promptly shoved a pill into Hua Yinger’s mouth with lightning speed.

Before she could react, Hua Yinger fell into Ye Xuan’s trap.

After swallowing the pill, Hua Yinger’s charming face quickly darkened, "What did you make me take?"

"Don’t worry, it’s just to prevent you from doing anything foolish. As long as you behave and follow orders, you’ll be fine."

Ye Xuan’s expression was nonchalant as his gaze sharpened slightly, "However, if you disobey orders, the Vermillion Blood Pill you just took will activate. Its effect is quite unique; it will prolong your menstrual cycle, and if you don’t take my antidote, no matter how high your cultivation is, eventually, you’ll bleed out and turn into a dried corpse."

"What?"

Hua Yinger’s pretty face changed color, her expression somewhat ugly. How could there be such a despicable pill in the world?

"No one can undo the Vermillion Blood Pill except me. You’d better consider your choices carefully."

Ye Xuan said with a smile.

"You!"

Hua Yinger’s chest heaved as she glared at Ye Xuan, yet she was at a loss. Ye Xuan would surely resort to something like this to prevent her betrayal.

"Don’t even think about getting the antidote, even if you kill me, you won’t be able to obtain it. I take the trouble to compound the antidote once a month."

Ye Xuan’s lips curved into a smile, chuckling lightly.

"Go down. When you reach the Heaven Port of the Western World, turn back and return to the Empress. You’re of no use to me here."

Ye Xuan waved his hand.

Only back with the Empress could Hua Yinger maximize her value; she was of no use here.

"Yes."

Hua Yinger could only obey orders; she had no choice.

After subduing Hua Yinger, Ye Xuan also breathed a complete sigh of relief.

The hidden threat was finally completely eliminated.

Next, Ye Xuan began to refine pills and recuperate in peace.

Seven days passed in a flash.

An anomaly finally arose in the Void Trace.

"The Headless Emperor has appeared."

A message quickly spread across the Void Divine Ship like a plague, soon becoming known to all.

"What, the Headless Emperor? That’s a legendary figure."

"Why would I lie to you? If you don’t believe it, go see for yourself."

One by one, figures either opened windows or went to the deck, gazing into the endless void in the distance, where a tall figure seemed to be traversing an energy river from the Void Trace.

That figure emitted an immense aura, extremely high in cultivation, yet it had no head, like a masterless corpse adrift. But everyone knew it was not a corpse but the legendary Headless Emperor.

"It’s said that the Headless Emperor was a Supreme strongman of our Human Clan, but after a great upheaval and Divine Punishment from the Heavenly Realm, he became like this."

A human expert lamented.

"This is the Headless Emperor."

Ye Xuan gazed at the distant headless figure, sensing a feeling of desolation and age from it.

This Headless Emperor must be someone with a story.

"For some reason, I seem to feel a sense of familiarity from this person. Seeing him like this, it makes me inexplicably a bit sad."

Suddenly, Nangong Yao spoke, and Ye Xuan glanced over, surprised to see tears already streaming down her face.

"Really?"

Ye Xuan found it strange; it was indeed an inexplicable situation.

Just then, the Headless Emperor unexpectedly "turned" toward them and, under some slightly startled gazes, began walking toward them.

"The Headless Emperor is coming over!"

Someone shouted in surprise, retreating continuously in fright.

The Headless Emperor’s fearsome reputation was well-known, and almost no one would dare to act rashly in front of him.

The Headless Emperor stood before the Void Divine Ship, seemingly inspecting it for a while before suddenly raising a hand to point at Nangong Yao on the ship.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s pupils constricted. He initially thought of taking action but then abandoned the thought, as he felt no murderous intent from the Headless Emperor.

A beam of light from his finger entered Nangong Yao’s forehead and vanished.

In the next moment, Nangong Yao’s aura abruptly changed, as if breaking a cocoon into a butterfly, exuding an extremely frigid air.

The coldness on her body directly condensed into a layer of black armor, and her aura continuously rose, breaking through to the extreme of a Seventh Grade Martial Saint, stopping just before reaching the Sealing Emperor level.

"This..."

Everyone was taken aback, their expressions incredulous. Nangong Yao’s sudden ascension was astounding. Surely, this was what they called a "chance encounter."

"This Headless Emperor is actually also a Nine Yin Ice Soul Divine Body?" Ye Xuan, from the brief contact, sensed some of the Headless Emperor’s aura, which felt very similar to Nangong Yao’s constitution.

There undoubtedly was a connection between the two, at least a definite link.

That one finger fully unleashed the potential of Nangong Yao’s Nine Yin Ice Soul Divine Body. The Headless Emperor must be someone who understands this constitution deeply, otherwise, he would not know how to activate its special traits.

"Rumors say that in the Ancient World, there exists a Yin God Ancient Clan. The population of this clan is quite small, but each member possesses a rare Yin constitution. The Nine Yin Ice Soul Divine Body is just one of them. The Headless Emperor should be someone from the Yin God Ancient Clan."

As Ye Xuan was puzzled, Hua Yinger’s voice suddenly came from the side.

"Yin God Ancient Clan?"

Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow, having never heard of this Yin God Ancient Clan.

"It’s said that the Headless Emperor offended a messenger from the Upper Realm, which is why he got decapitated and exiled to this Void Trace, becoming as he is now," Hua Yinger continued.

"A messenger from the Upper Realm? What would someone from the Upper Realm be doing in the Ancient World? Why would they be offended?"

Ye Xuan was somewhat surprised. When he was in the Heavenly Realm, he had no contact with the lower realm at all.

"This maid doesn’t know either. Perhaps only those at the level of a Sealing Emperor Strong People might know some details." Hua Yinger also shook her head.

After hearing this, Ye Xuan fell into contemplation, and just then, the Headless Emperor’s massive body began to move, turning away and continuing into the depths of the Void Trace.

"The Void Trace is not a friendly place. To survive here, this Headless Emperor must have incredibly high cultivation."

Ye Xuan could confirm that the Headless Emperor was stronger than the Empress, Emperor Yu, or the Sky-covering Demon Emperor. The Headless Emperor was genuinely a Martial Emperor strong person and could be considered a Divine Descendant, possessing a Divine Level soul and body.
