The situation had already completely spiraled out of Yao Yuan's control.
At this moment, he only wished for one thing:
Don't drag the Purple Firmament Pill Sect into this as well... This Divine Son was absolutely not someone he could afford to offend!
Just then.
Gu Xinde's brows were tightly furrowed, his aura suddenly chaotic, and his blood Qi violently surged.
Pfft!
He abruptly spat out a mouthful of vital blood!
Gu Xinde's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, and he looked at Jiang Ye with a nervous expression.
He gave Jiang Ye a deep look, then spoke as if deflating, "Divine Son Jiang, what happened today was my rashness. From now on, my Heavenly Dao Academy will no longer interfere with Lin Hongyan. I hope for your understanding!"
He directly abandoned Lin Hongyan in public.
Because just now, Gu Xinde had used the Heavenly Dao Divination Art to investigate.
Lin Hongyan, who originally had Dragon Qi soaring to the heavens and Luck as deep as an abyss, had his auspicious signs decay to an almost unrecognizable state in just one hour.
It was as if a Heavenly Dragon God had suddenly fallen to become a mere chicken or dog, with not much cultivation value left.
Considering Lin Hongyan's self-important and excessively arrogant nature.
Gu Xinde's heart was already clear.
Such a person was no longer worth the Heavenly Dao Academy's full support.
What shocked him even more was that he had just used his signature skill to deduce Jiang Ye's fate.
The result was startling.
No Luck appeared.
It was as if he was lost in a deep fog, his destiny trajectory a dark Chaos. No matter how he deduced, the future remained blurry.
In the boundless Void Realm, he vaguely saw a divine light, pure white, descending from the sky, instantly repelling him with a backlash.
Dao rhythm shattered, blood Qi flowed in reverse, almost damaging his foundation!
Presumably, he carried a Supreme treasure given to him by the Jiang Clan, making it impossible for others to peek into his fate.
At this point, Gu Xinde could only yield.
"Hehe? Rashness?"
Jiang Ye's lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes full of mockery.
He naturally noticed that old dog investigating him earlier, but unfortunately, he had the System's blessing, and any prying would result in a backlash.
He had originally planned to settle accounts with Yu Yingxue first, but this old dog jumped out on his own.
Then he couldn't be blamed.
Let's give the Heavenly Dao Academy and everyone present a tiny, tiny surprise first!
Jiang Ye stared coldly at Gu Xinde, his eyes openly showing disgust and murderous intent.
"I see you, old dog, are truly arrogant!"
"Didn't you just now repeatedly claim to start an Immortal war with my Jiang Clan? Didn't you also demand an explanation from This Divine Son?"
"Now you want to just walk away?"
Gu Xinde's heart turned cold.
The other party was so aggressive, not even giving him a way out.
Did he really intend to settle accounts with him?
"Then what does Divine Son Jiang want?"
"The first one This Divine Son will settle accounts with today is you and the entire Heavenly Dao Academy behind you!"
Gu Xinde's pupils suddenly constricted. He couldn't quite understand why.
Logically speaking, shouldn't Lin Hongyan and the Purple Firmament Pill Sect be the first to be settled with?
Now, he was going to be used to establish authority first?
And his tone was frighteningly arrogant, actually threatening to settle accounts with the entire Heavenly Dao Academy?
Simply outrageous!
Gu Xinde was already short-tempered. Jiang Ye's continuous disregard earlier, and now his overbearingness, did he really think he was made of mud?
Immediately, he couldn't help but lose his temper, angrily saying, "Divine Son Jiang, if you truly insist on pursuing this, my Heavenly Dao Academy is not to be trifled with! If things escalate today, you might not be able to handle the aftermath!"
Jiang Ye chuckled, clapping his hands.
"Can't handle the aftermath?"
"Then today, I insist on seeing how capable your Heavenly Dao Academy truly is!"
He suddenly touched a crimson jade plaque at his waist, on which an unparalleled Dao rhythm was carved, with the words "Hongye" incredibly striking, seemingly revealing a suffocating, murderous imperial might.
Gu Xinde's face suddenly changed drastically, filled with extreme fear, and his tone immediately softened: "No! Your Highness, Divine Son, I beg you, my Heavenly Dao Academy is willing to pay any price..."
Jiang Ye's gaze turned cold, murderous intent emerging, and he narrowed his eyes, saying, "Too late!"
He gently circulated his Spiritual Qi, and the crimson jade plaque instantly erupted with a Soul-stirring red light.
Everyone collectively gasped, their scalps tingling.
"This... is he going to directly summon the Empress?"
"It's over, it's over. Why did this old rascal Gu Xinde dare to provoke His Highness, Divine Son, like this? Don't drag us down too!"
"I heard Empress Hongye is incredibly ruthless and holds grudges... Today will likely not end well!"
Everyone present was chilled to the bone, constantly praying in their hearts that this disaster wouldn't affect them.
Gu Xinde's eyes widened, staring fixedly at the words "Hongye" on the jade plaque, a deep look of fear immediately appearing on his face.
"Crazy!! Crazy!!"
"What's wrong with this Jiang Ye? This is just a trivial matter!? He's actually going to directly have Empress Hongye make a move?"
In this era where the Dark Ages had not yet completely ended.
The position of Supreme was almost equivalent to the Old Ancestor of Various Great Dao Lineages.
And a Quasi-Emperor was an unshakable, Supreme existence in every force.
What exactly happened to his Heavenly Dao Academy?
Jiang Ye actually, without hesitation, intended to summon a Peak Great Emperor who had not been corrupted by evil demonic Qi and whose combat power was perfectly intact?
As a Grand Elder of the Heavenly Dao Academy, how could Gu Xinde not understand?
Empress Hongye was absolutely not someone the Heavenly Dao Academy could afford to provoke.
Finally, Gu Xinde's expression was utterly terrified, and he urgently asked, "Your Highness, Divine Son, why is this happening?"
Jiang Ye stared at him with interest, a faint hint of playfulness in his eyes.
He already had a plan in mind.
"Oh, come on. Weren't you quite tough from beginning to end? Why are you softening now?"
"I'm calling my mother, the Empress, to come and support me. If you're not convinced, you can also call out your Heavenly Dao Academy's Great Emperor Old Ancestor, can't you?"
"Hmm? Why aren't you calling them?"
"No way? No way? You guys at Heavenly Dao Academy can't call them out, can you?"
"Could it be that your Old Ancestor... might have already passed away?"
His smile didn't fade, and his tone carried a hint of provocation.
Gu Xinde was covered in cold sweat at this moment, his pupils violently constricting, and an extreme fear surged in his heart. He had completely not expected Jiang Ye to escalate the situation to such a degree!
He was about to open his mouth, still wanting to argue a few more words.
Buzz!
A terrifying, incomparably deep crimson divine light enveloped the entire world!
Above the sky, the red night stained the firmament like blood, as if soaked in fresh blood, like the end of the world descending.
The person hadn't arrived, but the anomaly had already appeared!
The entire area was dyed with a boundless crimson, a terrifying and dreadful aura enveloped the earth, and all space seemed to be sealed by an invisible 鎖, even Jiang Yi, who was in the air, fell to the ground.
In the Jiang Clan Ancestral Land.
Su Hongye, who was comprehending the Supreme realm, slowly opened her beautiful eyes.
With a gentle wave of her hand, the blood-red glow around her instantly traversed hundreds of millions of miles through the Void Realm, appearing before Jiang Ye.
As she descended, the entire space seemed to suffer an invisible pressure, and an immensely vast imperial might swept in all directions like a torrent, like a majestic mountain, heavy as countless tons.
Except for Jiang Ye.
Everyone present felt a suffocating and powerless sensation from the depths of their Souls.
Everyone involuntarily lowered their heads, kneeling on the ground like a tide.
"Greetings, Empress Hongye!"
"Greetings, Empress Hongye!"
Everyone shouted in unison, their voices filled with fear and reverence, their heads bowed low, not even daring to look up at the Empress.
Su Hongye wore a black and red imperial robe, with crimson gold patterns coiling around it.
Her posture was like an Immortal from beyond the heavens, her countenance ethereal and peerless, her long hair like a cascading galaxy, exuding a mesmerizing brilliance.
She slowly leaned forward, gently embracing Jiang Ye.
"Ye'er, why did you call Mother here? Who bullied you?"
Su Hongye's voice was gentle and full of doting affection.
