Xuanhuan: The Empress and I Swapped Bodies - Chapter 146

The Divine Dragon Empress’s words served as a form of protection for Ye Wushuang.

Therefore, she deliberately downplayed his role, not even mentioning his existence.

However, even if the Empress didn’t bring it up, the people from Two-Realm Mountain would inevitably take notice of this matter.

Of course, they didn’t press the issue or ask probing questions on the spot.

If the Divine Dragon Empress was intent on concealing something, questioning her directly wouldn’t yield answers.

It was only after they had taken custody of the restrained Supremes and were leaving that they began discussing amongst themselves.

“Do we know why these Yamaraja forces targeted the Divine Dragon Empire?”

“From what we’ve learned, they seemed to be looking for someone named Ye Wushuang from the Divine Dragon Empire.”

“Apparently, this Ye Wushuang has mastered the power of Laws! When he underwent his tribulation, he used Law power!”

“Law power? What realm is this Ye Wushuang in?”

Hearing about Law power piqued Thunder God’s interest. Mastering Laws was no simple feat; even he had only managed it through a combination of chance and immense effort.

Hearing that someone else had mastered Law power made him intensely curious.

“From our understanding, Ye Wushuang was only at the Honored One realm when he underwent his tribulation.”

“What? The Honored One realm? Are you certain?”

“Yes! The Honored One realm, I’m absolutely sure! However, this Ye Wushuang is a bit unusual. It seems he previously dispersed his cultivation and started over. He went through a tribulation at the Honored One realm years ago, and this recent tribulation was also at the Honored One realm.”

The exact details of Ye Wushuang’s experiences were unknown to outsiders.

But changes in his cultivation realm were observable.

Hearing this, Thunder God fell into deep thought.

“He dispersed his cultivation and started over? He possesses such remarkable determination?”

“That part is unclear to us. This Ye Wushuang has always kept a very low profile within the Divine Dragon Heavenly Palace.”

“I see. Then, what specific Law power did he use?”

“This…”

That question was genuinely difficult for them to answer.

Without reaching a certain level of power, one couldn’t possibly identify a specific Law.

And those powerful enough to recognize it weren’t necessarily from Two-Realm Mountain or under their command, especially since Ye Wushuang resided in the Divine Dragon Heavenly Palace.

While Two-Realm Mountain housed all sorts of people, not everyone there was subordinate to it.

So, they couldn’t answer that question.

Noting their hesitation, Thunder God rephrased his query:

“What was notable about his tribulation?”

“Notable… Well, when he was undergoing his tribulation, it seemed like he… froze the lightning creatures solid.”

“Froze them? Then it’s him!”

Hearing the word “froze,” Thunder God immediately became certain that the Invincible Paramount Expert who had mastered Law power appearing in the Divine Dragon Heavenly Palace was profoundly connected to Ye Wushuang.

In fact, he concluded that the Invincible Paramount Expert who had mastered the Law of Restraint must be Ye Wushuang’s secret master.

Only such a powerful figure would be able to discern the flaws in his disciple’s foundation and possess the resolve to have his disciple start cultivation anew.

Only such a powerful figure could possibly enable his disciple to grasp a degree of Law power while still at the Honored One realm.

Such mastery could only come from exhaustive, all-out instruction.

Therefore, Ye Wushuang’s relationship with this Invincible Paramount Expert who commanded the Law of Restraint was undoubtedly significant.

Thunder God even began to suspect that this Paramount Expert might be Ye Wushuang’s biological father.

Only a relationship that intimate would justify the level of devoted instruction Thunder God envisioned.

As for the possibility that Ye Wushuang himself was the Invincible Paramount Expert who had mastered the Law of Restraint… that thought never even crossed Thunder God’s mind.

While Ye Wushuang might have grasped some Law power, his cultivation realm was simply too low.

The Honored One realm wasn’t even worthy of mention in the eyes of an Invincible Paramount Expert.

If not for his ability to use Law power, Ye Wushuang wouldn’t have registered on their radar at all.

However, once he confirmed the connection between Ye Wushuang and the Restraint Law Paramount Expert, Thunder God felt relieved.

“Since we’ve established the relationship between Ye Wushuang and that Invincible Paramount Expert who commands the Law of Restraint, getting close to that supreme being shouldn’t be too difficult.”

“Instruct our agent to get close to this Ye Wushuang.”

“Is the goal to test him?”

“No. The goal is to win him over! If our agent can form a… bond with Ye Wushuang, then that Invincible Paramount Expert who has mastered the Law of Restraint will find it much harder to slip through our fingers!”

Hearing this, the other Supremes understood instantly.

What Thunder God was proposing was essentially a honey trap, a ‘beauty trap.’

While such a tactic might have little effect on an Invincible Paramount Expert himself, it would be entirely different when used on a young man like Ye Wushuang.

By using a beauty trap to secure Ye Wushuang’s allegiance, they would effectively tie down the Restraint Law Paramount Expert as well.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of female warriors willing to serve Two-Realm Mountain’s cause.

Among them were several great beauties already within the Divine Dragon Imperial household.

Even if the Imperial family became aware of this plan, they were unlikely to object.

After all, Two-Realm Mountain wasn’t a hostile force; ultimately, it existed to combat the Yamaraja Universe.

Although some individuals within it acted out of self-interest, leveraging their position for personal or familial gain, this couldn’t diminish the general reverence the Tianyuan Universe held for Two-Realm Mountain.

It was, after all, the front line of the war, the highest-level battlefield in the Tianyuan Universe, the ultimate destination for glory.

Once their discussion concluded, a command was promptly sent to a specific individual within the Divine Dragon Heavenly Palace.

This individual happened to be a great beauty.

“‘Get close to Ye Wushuang? Use a beauty trap if necessary?’ Why?”

“Could it be that Ye Wushuang is a spy for the Yamaraja?”

“That doesn’t seem right. I’ve seen him use Myriad Swords Return to Origin and have sensed his Dao principles before.”

“Besides, this recent operation by the Yamaraja Universe seemed to target him specifically.”

“Are they asking me to protect him?”

Yu Meiren of the Imperial Academy, having received this mission, was visibly perplexed.

As a reserve member of Two-Realm Mountain, she had hardly ever received any tasks before.

Her strength wasn’t sufficient, and most missions didn’t require her.

She never expected her first official task would be to get close to Ye Wushuang, even to the point of seducing him if needed.

This left Yu Meiren deeply puzzled.
