Heavenly Dao Sword Emperor

0"Wan'er, since you are from the Divine Sect, I won't beat around the bush with you." After a moment of celebration, Zheng Zizhou asked seriously, "Do you know the exact location of my parents?"    

    

Hearing this, Zheng Zinuo and Feng Ziyan both stared at Xiao Wan'er at the same time.    

    

Because when the three man in black came to capture their family, Zheng Zizhou heard it very clearly. Her mother mentioned the word Divine Sect, so he asked now.    

    

"I do know their whereabouts." Xiao Wan'er lowered her head and said guiltily.    

    

"Ah? Why didn't you tell me their whereabouts earlier?" Zheng Zinuo said angrily.    

    

"I just don't want you to take the risk. They are locked in the forbidden area of the Pope Palace of Divine Sect. With your cultivation base, you won't be able to enter that place." Xiao Wan'er replied with a slightly red face.    

    

"Zinuo, it's not too late for us to know now. Don't be angry with Wan'er. She has put in a lot of effort." Feng Ziyan tried to persuade him.    

    

"En. In the past, I didn't have that ability, but now that I have the Xuanyuan Realm magic treasure, I should have that ability. Tell me the exact location of Pope Palace. We will go now." Zheng Zinuo said impatiently.    

    

"En, alright." Xiao Wan'er pursed her lips and felt a little awkward in her heart. After all, one side was her father's side and the other was the person she loved. Coincidentally, the two of them were sworn enemies and helping either side would make the other party angry. But at this moment, it was obvious that no matter how ruthless she was, she could not help but agree to Zheng Zinuo's request.    

    

After telling Zheng Zinuo the exact coordinates, Zheng Zinuo used the Xuanyuan Realm to connect to the passageway. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the Pope Palace's gate in Holy City.    

    

"Wan'er, help me lead the way. Big brother and senior sister, you guys stay inside. With the Xuanyuan Realm magic treasure, it will be much more convenient for me to enter and exit." Zheng Zinuo said.    

    

"Alright!" Everyone nodded their heads. Zheng Zinuo used the Xuanyuan Realm magic treasure to help himself and Xiao Wan'er hide their figures and followed Xiao Wan'er towards the forbidden area of the harem.    

    

Pope Palace was heavily guarded. Along the way, there was a row of patrolling soldiers every few days. Moreover, the area was extraordinarily large, at least three times larger than the Xun Wind Peak. Zheng Zinuo followed Xiao Wan'er for a total of two hourglass turns before finally leaving the Pope Palace and entering the forbidden area of the Inner Palace.    

    

Fortunately, the Pope came to the Hidden Spirit Sect this time and took away a large number of experts. Although the Pope Palace was heavily guarded, there were not many true experts. This made Zheng Zinuo feel very lucky.    

    

However, Xiao Wan'er seemed to be preoccupied with something along the way and seemed to be distracted. After all, what she was doing now was going against her father's wishes to help outsiders. It was no different from betraying the Divine Sect.    

    

"Wan'er, I know that you must be feeling very conflicted and complicated right now." Zheng Zinuo stopped in his tracks and said, "Helping me at all costs is the same as betraying your father. You have betrayed the Divine Sect, but I hope you can understand. Understanding the feelings of a son, a child, and watching his own parents being locked up by someone else... Furthermore, it has been eight years, not to mention that my parents are not evil people. They are all ordinary people, and they only want to live the life of ordinary people. Is it wrong for me to save them? "    

    

"Zinuo..." Xiao Wan'er lowered her head when she heard him. She thought for a moment and then nodded. She smiled and said, "Yes, filial piety is the priority. You did the right thing. I hope that after rescuing my foster parents... Our family will go to the Xuanyuan Realm and live a peaceful and happy life. We will no longer care about the mundane matters of the mortal world, alright? "    

    

"Foster parents?" Zheng Zinuo asked in surprise.    

    

Xiao Wan'er untied her knot in her heart and was happy for a moment. She simply told him about her relationship with Zheng Zinuo's parents, which made Zheng Zinuo feel relieved.    

    

The two of them talked telepathically as they quickly ran towards the cave entrance. Not long after, they arrived at a forbidden cave in the back mountain of Pope Palace.    

    

"Eh? This is really strange. In the past, there would always be people guarding this place. Why haven't I seen a single person today?" Coming to the side of the cave, Xiao Wan'er said in puzzlement.    

    

"Perhaps he followed your father to the Hidden Spirit Sect." Zheng Zinuo comforted himself. His heart was also beating fast. After being separated for eight years, his parents were in the cave in front of him, which made him very excited.    

    

"Let's go in and take a look." Xiao Wan'er did not agree with what Zheng Zinuo said. She felt that there was something strange about the matter. She slowly led him into the depths of the cave.    

    

The cave was not very deep. It was only about twenty to thirty meters deep. The two of them soon reached the innermost layer. The cave was dark, but with their cultivation, they could see clearly even if they could not see their hands in front of their eyes.    

    

In the circular cave that was seven to eight meters in diameter, there was a small bed made of stone, a stone table, and two stone blocks. It was that simple, but they did not see a shadow.    

    

"How could this be? Where is my father and mother?" Zheng Zinuo suddenly shouted. The dream of reuniting with his parents was shattered like a dream, and he couldn't accept it.    

    

Xiao Wan'er was surprisingly calm. She reached out to touch the stone table and found that it was covered with dust. She frowned and said, "It seems that they have been moved away for a long time."    

    

"Move away? Where did they move to?" Zheng Zinuo asked unwillingly.    

    

"I'm not sure about that either. My father never told me anything, but don't worry. Let's find him in Pope Palace first. If it doesn't work, I'll go out and ask him." Xiao Wan'er comforted him.    

    

"Okay!" Zheng Zinuo nodded helplessly. He followed Xiao Wan'er out of the cave and went back to Pope Palace to search everywhere.    

    

However, after a whole day, they had basically searched all the places in the Pope Palace that could hide people, but they did not find any traces of Zheng Zinuo's parents.    

    

"Follow me. Let's go to my father's study to take a look. He often stays there for a long time, and he also told me many times. He told me not to go to his study if I had nothing to do. I suspect that there might be information we need there. " Xiao Wan'er's beautiful eyes moved as she said.    

    

"Okay!" Zheng Zinuo was very anxious at this moment. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would give it a try even if it was going to be a mountain of swords or a sea of fire. He hurriedly followed Xiao Wan'er to the study.    

    

The study was not large, and it was antique. There was a mahogany table and two merged bookshelves. The surrounding walls were filled with all kinds of classical paintings, making it look very elegant.    

    

"Look for the bookshelves and the desk. See if there is any information we need. Quick." Xiao Wan'er urged as she walked.    

    

Zheng Zinuo did not need Xiao Wan'er to remind him. After entering the study, he started to rummage through the shelves. He did not even let go of the ten or so paintings hanging on the wall. He looked at them carefully, but after a long time, there were still no clues.    

    

"Pa..." Zheng Zinuo was very angry. He reached out and patted the brush holder on the corner of the table. Suddenly, he realized something was wrong.    

    

"What's wrong, Zinuo?" Xiao Wan'er saw Zheng Zinuo's unusual expression and quickly walked over to ask.    

    

"Quickly come and take a look at this bamboo tube." Zheng Zinuo said in surprise, "This bamboo tube seems to have an unusual material, and it is very heavy. I just patted it, but it still doesn't move. Is there such a bamboo tube?"    

    

"Oh, is that so?" Xiao Wan'er's eyes moved and she carefully looked at the bamboo tube. Realizing that there was something wrong, she forcefully grabbed the bamboo tube and wanted to lift it up. However, she did not move at all. Then she had an idea and tried to turn it around. Suddenly, there was a sound, startling the two of them.    

    

The two huge bookshelves behind the study table suddenly split open from the middle. Looking closely, it was actually a secret passage door.    

    

"So this place is actually a different world!" Zheng Zinuo was overjoyed. He grabbed Xiao Wan'er's jade-like pancreas and said happily, "Come, let's go in and take a look."    

    

"En." Xiao Wan'er was also very curious. In her long life, she had never heard of a secret passage in her father's study. Thinking of this, she finally understood why her father often reminded her when she was young. He did not want her to come to the study to play.    

    

Zheng Zinuo took out the Xuanyuan Realm magic treasure and reached out his hand to pull Xiao Wan'er's wrist. The two of them followed closely and carefully walked towards the secret passage.    

    

The secret passage was not big. It was circular and about two meters in diameter. It was made of marble and could only accommodate two or three people walking side by side. The passage was not long, only about three to five meters long.    

    

The two of them walked along the passage to the bottom and jumped out of an arched door of the same size. It suddenly became clear.    

    

What appeared in front of them was a huge space of more than a hundred square meters. The entire space seemed to be made of jade. More than ten magic crystals lit up the entire space as if it was daytime.    

    

The space was very elegant and beautiful, just like a young girl's boudoir. In the center of the space, a sarcophagus emitting blue light immediately attracted the two of them.    

    

The two of them looked at each other and walked towards the sarcophagus together.    

    

The material of the sarcophagus was very special, Zheng Zinuo immediately took a look. He knew that this material was an extremely rare Northern Sea Profound Ice. It had the effect of not melting for a thousand years. Using this material to make a sarcophagus had an absolute preservation function, even if a dead person laid inside for a hundred years. It was just as if they had just died.    

    

But the Profound Ice of the North Sea was extremely rare, and to be able to gather so much to make such a huge sarcophagus, it could be imagined that in the Sun Moon Continent, only the Pope could do it.

Zheng Zinuo held Xiao Wan'er's jade-like hand tightly, and the two carefully approached the sarcophagus. A wave of cold air rushed towards them, but even though the cold air was dense, Zheng Zinuo could feel Xiao Wan'er's palm heating up, and there were traces of sweat flowing out.    

    

He could not help but be a little puzzled. He turned to look at Xiao Wan'er and saw that her beautiful face that was illuminated by the blue light was full of nervousness and excitement. Her eyes did not blink as she looked at the person lying in the sarcophagus.    

    

Zheng Zinuo felt strange and followed her gaze to see a transparent ice cover on the sarcophagus. Through the cover of the sarcophagus, there was a woman in green lying down. The girl's face was extremely beautiful. She looked like she was in her early twenties. She seemed to be smiling, as if she had fallen asleep. However, what shocked Zheng Zinuo was that he actually saw Xiao Wan'er's shadow on the girl's face. The two of them actually had 70% of the expression on their faces.    

    

At this moment, Xiao Wan'er's entire body started to tremble when she saw this scene. Zheng Zinuo hurriedly turned his head to look. He saw that Yi Ren was very excited, and her eyes were filled with tears. Slowly approaching the sarcophagus, her legs turned soft and she fell to her knees. However, she kept staring at the woman in the sarcophagus.    

    

"Wan'er..." Zheng Zinuo's heart suddenly trembled. He hurriedly supported Xiao Wan'er and knelt down with her. Seeing such a scene, with Zheng Zinuo's intelligence and wisdom, he had long guessed that the person in the coffin should be Xiao Wan'er's mother.    

    

"Mother... Wuwuwu..." Xiao Wan'er let out a shrill cry and reached out her hand to throw herself at the sarcophagus. Zheng Zinuo was shocked and quickly pulled her to persuade her, "This ice sarcophagus is extremely cold, do not touch it."    

    

Xiao Wan'er faintly looked at Zheng Zinuo when she heard this. Her pretty face was pale and her clear eyes were filled with tears. She looked pitiful and it made Zheng Zinuo's heart tremble violently.    

    

"Mother..." Xiao Wan'er did not try to pounce on the sarcophagus again when she heard him but her entire expression was gathered on the sarcophagus. She was very sad and complicated.    

    

"Wan'er, don't be sad. Your mother is also very sad when you are so sad." Zheng Zinuo said, "You are much happier than me. At least you have a father to take care of you. I have lost my parents and family since I was eight years old. My only brother is from the same sect. But the number of times we meet is also very small."    

    

"Mm..." Xiao Wan'er slowly turned her head and looked at Zheng Zinuo with tender affection.    

    

"Yes!" Zheng Zinuo gave Xiao Wan'er a firm look and comforted her, "A dead person cannot be resurrected. Wan'er, you should just accept your grief."    

    

Xiao Wan'er nodded, but her pair of beautiful big eyes refused to leave the woman in the sarcophagus.    

    

"This should be Auntie's tomb. It's just that I don't understand why your father didn't let your mother settle down in the earth. Instead, he built this kind of tomb here and used the ice to store your mother's body." Seeing Xiao Wan'er's sad face, Zheng Zinuo intended to use his question to divert her attention. This would reduce the degree of her sadness.    

    

"Sigh..." Xiao Wan'er sighed and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. She replied, "I remember my father said that my mother only left temporarily. He will come back one day. I think he has a way to bring my mother back to life."    

    

"Return to life?" Zheng Zinuo was slightly startled. Yes, that should be the case. Otherwise, who would keep the dead from entering the earth? In this world, not entering the earth was a great disrespect to the dead.    

    

"Alright Wan'er, there should not be any clues here. Let's leave this place as soon as possible." Zheng Zinuo persuaded her gently.    

    

"I... I still want to stay with my mother for a while. Can we stay alone for a while?" Xiao Wan'er closed her eyes and said reluctantly.    

    

"Alright then. I will go to the side and take a look." Zheng Zinuo nodded and left the sarcophagus. He went to the hanging paintings around to take a look.    

    

After looking at the surrounding arrangements, Xiao Wan'er still did not have any intention of leaving. Zheng Zinuo sighed lovingly and was about to go and persuade her again when he suddenly saw a yellow paper beside the flowerbed out of the corner of his eye.    

    

Zheng Zinuo was slightly shocked and quickly picked it up to take a look.    

    

"Assassination list: Profound Nether Palace's Li Luopeng, Yang Liu Sect's Lin Tianzheng, Vast Heaven Sect's Zhao Enbo... Assassination list: Profound Nether Palace's Li Luopeng, Yang Liu Sect's Lin Tianzheng, Vast Heaven Sect's Zhao Enbo..." Zheng Zinuo could not help but turn pale with fright. He did not care about Xiao Wan'er and her mother whispering. He hurriedly called out, "Wan'er, quickly look at what this is."    

    

Xiao Wan'er was slightly startled and hurriedly got up and walked over.    

    

"Assassination list..." Xiao Wan'er took the yellow paper and was also shocked. She quickly swept through it and said with a face full of worry, "I really don't know what Father and the rest are up to."    

    

"What are they up to? Isn't it obvious? Almost all of the names on the list are leaders of a sect. He's only doing this to unify the world. " Zheng Zinuo said with some anger," But without our Hidden Spirit Sect, that old man Tao Wuyang must have colluded with your father a long time ago. Humph! "    

    

After saying that, he realized that his tone was a little heavy and said, "I'm sorry Wan'er, I was a little too harsh just now."    

    

" It's alright. Let's go out and see if there are any other clues. " Xiao Wan'er reluctantly looked at the woman in the sarcophagus and then took a deep breath, as if she wanted to swallow all the stifled feelings in her heart.    

    

Zheng Zinuo's heart suddenly tightened. He pulled Xiao Wan'er, walked to the side of the sarcophagus, and then knelt down.    

    

Zheng Zinuo held Xiao Wan'er's jade-like hand with one hand and raised his other hand to solemnly swear to the woman in the sarcophagus, "Mother-in-law, come again. Today I, Zheng Zinuo, swear a heavy oath in front of your corpse. In this life, I only love Wan'er alone. The sea is dry and the stone is rotten till death. If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning. You will not die a good death!"    

    

"Ah..." Xiao Wan'er was pulled by Zheng Zinuo. She still did not know what he was going to do. When Zheng Zinuo finished speaking, Xiao Wan'er's body trembled and she was touched. Tears gushed out of her eyes once again and she said to the woman in the sarcophagus. "Mother, now that my daughter has found a good home, you should know it from the bottom of the spring. I should also be relieved of my daughter. I don't know when my daughter will be able to come back to see you again after leaving this time. Please forgive my unfilial daughter. "    

    

"Let's go. I believe that mother-in-law will definitely forgive you in heaven." Zheng Zinuo pulled Xiao Wan'er's wrist and the two of them quietly left the place.    

    

However, Zheng Zinuo was still unwilling to give up without finding any clues about his parents. He used psychic magic to find a few guards to ask questions. In the end, they did not know where Zheng Zinuo's parents were, so the two of them could only return to the Xuanyuan Realm bitterly.    

    

"How is it, Zinuo?" As soon as the two of them came in, Zheng Zizhou impatiently asked.    

    

"My parents were moved away. I didn't find them." Zheng Zinuo said very disappointedly. He handed over the yellow paper in his hand and said, "I just saw this list of assassins."    

    

"The name list of the assassins?" Feng Ziyan became interested and gathered with Zheng Zizhou to carefully study it.    

    

"Zinuo, I don't know when this list of assassins was made. We can't just sit and do nothing. I think we should go and inform the experts of the various sects who are going to be assassinated. Let them be vigilant, what do you think? " Zheng Zizhou suggested.    

    

"Alright. I will look for my father and mother along the way. But this way, Wan'er, you might have to do something that goes against the Divine Sect again." Zheng Zinuo said with some difficulty.    

    

"I don't know that my father is doing all these immoral things. I will stop him now. I hope he won't make any mistakes and help him accumulate some merits." Xiao Wan'er sighed and said.    

    

"It is really hard on you." Zheng Zinuo grabbed Xiao Wan'er's hand and said lovingly.    

    

"It's just that most of the people on the list have gone to our Hidden Spirit Sect to attend the Martial Dao Competition. What should we do? Now, we can't return to the Hidden Spirit Sect. " Feng Ziyan said with a frown.    

    

"We can't return to the Hidden Spirit Sect. Perhaps these seniors have already been killed. With our current abilities, we can't defeat them. The only way to deal with them now is to unite these seniors who haven't gone to the Hidden Spirit Sect. " Zheng Zinuo said.    

    

"That's right!" Zheng Zizhou nodded and said, "On this list, only the Sect Leader of the Vast Heaven Sect, Senior Zhao Enbo, did not come to our Hidden Spirit Sect. Remember, the one who represented the Vast Heaven Sect this time is that Vice Sect Leader Zhang. So, let's not delay any longer. Let's hurry to the Vast Heaven Sect. " Zheng Zizhou analyzed.    

    

"En, I don't know the exact coordinates of the Vast Heaven Sect. We can't use the connection function of the Xuanyuan Realm. We can only get out of here and ask someone." Zheng Zinuo said.    

    

"Yin Yang, you continue to stay in the Xuanyuan Realm. I'm afraid that if you go out with your honorable appearance, you will scare those civilians." Zheng Zinuo said to Yin Yang who was sleeping beside him. When he came back from Devil Beast Forest, he was afraid that Yin Yang would worry about his injuries. Therefore, he found an excuse to put him into the Xuanyuan Realm and let him cultivate.
