Now, from the Imperial Palace to the bustling city streets, all you hear are voices denouncing Su Nian.
In order to fight against the demon army that Su Nian had joined, the Hundred Sects of Kyushu united like never before, including Quanxiu, Su Nian's birthplace.
The Emperor still remembers the scene when the Second Elder Quanxiu attended the Hundred Sects Conference.
At that moment, she was so sad that she beat her feet and pounded her chest, and sighed to the heavens.
"A misfortune for our sect! A misfortune for our sect! Only today have I learned that Su Nian has been secretly colluding with the demons all along. It seems my judgment that day was not wrong. Su Nian... he really is a traitor to the human race! When I see that traitor again, I will personally execute him to clear my sect's name!"
The Emperor paid no heed to the Second Elder's lament.
When Su Nian got into trouble, Quan Xiu wanted to cut ties with her, which didn't surprise him.
More than these superficial things, he was worried about whether Quanxiu was still colluding with Su Nian.
To prove this, he met with the Second Elder in private to test her reaction.
However, after several attempts to test him, the Second Elder actually showed him a treasure.
A Celestial Ancestor Token dripped with Su Nian's blood.
According to the Second Elder, this tablet was left by Su Nian when he swore an oath to heaven in front of the Quanxiu Immortal Ancestor Stele when he became the head of the Quanxiu lineage.
It contains Su Nian's soul contract. If Su Nian does anything disrespectful to the sect, this card can be used to control her.
Inside the main hall of the Human Emperor's Palace, the Human Emperor stroked the Immortal Ancestor Tablet, his brows furrowed.
"A soul contract... If Su Nian had already been having an affair with the demons, why would she leave herself with a handle? Hmph."
He snorted coldly, walked to a cabinet, opened a special box, and put the Immortal Ancestor Token inside.
He felt somewhat relieved after confirming that the Immortal Ancestor Stele had been sealed.
He muttered to himself, "If this card is real, then Su Nian will definitely return to Kyushu to retrieve it; if this card is fake, then the entire Quanxiu will surely have divided loyalties!"
After thinking for a moment, he went outside and said to the maid at the door, "Go and call the Grand Elder."
"Yes, Your Majesty." A maid bowed and nodded, then walked away into the distance.
However, shortly after the maid disappeared, another servant came to report.
"Your Majesty the Emperor! The Fifth Elder of the Moonlit Pavilion requests an audience!"
The person from Yuexia Pavilion?
The emperor thought for a moment, then nodded and ordered, "Let him in directly."
"Yes, sir!"
The servants left, and a moment later, an old man with white hair walked in. However, his eyes kept observing the surroundings until he came to the Emperor and then knelt down and kowtowed.
"I am Liu Yanqing, and I pay my respects to Your Majesty the Emperor. I beg Your Majesty to grant me justice!"
The Emperor frowned slightly and asked, "What happened?"
With tears streaming down his face, Liu Yanqing said, “Your Majesty, you should know that I only have one granddaughter, whom I dote on. I cherish her dearly, afraid she might suffer even the slightest grievance. But just a few days ago, that traitor Su Nian suddenly broke into my Moonlit Pavilion, kidnapped my daughter, and took her back to the Demon Realm. Before leaving, he said he wanted me to exchange her for the Hundred Spirit Pearl. But the Hundred Spirit Pearl is a secret treasure of my Moonlit Pavilion. If I hand it over, it could very well bring about the destruction of my entire sect! Moreover… he also warned me not to tell anyone about this, but… I trust Your Majesty, so I secretly came to find you!”
"The Hundred Spirit Pearl?" The Human Emperor was taken aback.
Isn't that a secret treasure that specializes in targeting the soul?
A slight smile immediately appeared on his lips.
"I see... No wonder he didn't dare to lead his troops to attack this past month; he was afraid."
