The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 28 - 27 An Invitation from the Elder
28: Chapter 27: An Invitation from the Elder
28 -27: An Invitation from the Elder
The six Great Elders, countless protectors, the Chief Disciple, the Supreme Elder, and the Saint Heir of Luotian Sacred Land had all died.
They died simply, each slapped to death with a single palm.
It was as though they were no more than ants casually crushed.
After killing these people, that gigantic black hand retracted back into the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple.
The Lie Tian Ancestor Temple appeared just as usual, with no signs of anomaly.
But Qiu Wenhan’s eyes were wide open, staring intently at this scene.
He believed he would never forget this moment for the rest of his life!
It was terrifying!
Just now, within the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple, a hand had clearly stretched out, and according to Ye Xuan’s wishes, had slaughtered Leng Yifan and others!
“The Lie Tian Ancestor Temple, to think it harbored such an earth-shattering secret?!” Qiu Wenhan was immensely shaken inside.
He had guarded the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple for three thousand years and had never witnessed such a scene.
It was utterly terrifying.
Most crucially, Ye Xuan actually possessed knowledge of this secret, which was the most astonishing part!
“So, the Divine Miracle from seven days ago was no coincidence!” Qiu Wenhan, looking at Ye Xuan who stood with his hands behind his back, composed and calm, was filled with a deep sense of reverence.
This young man was definitely destined for great things!
He might even lead the Emperor Immortal Sect back to its former glory!
“Ye Xuan, you, you killed them…” Zhou Youwei, coming back to her senses, stuttered a bit.
“They oppressed me, so naturally they should be killed.
However, what truly angered me was not their oppression towards me, but their bullying you,” Ye Xuan said with a slight smile, his face earnest, “From now on, as long as Ye Xuan is here, nobody can bully you.”
Zhou Youwei stood there dazed, having never felt such a strong sense of security before.
His words were both domineering and warm, stirring Zhou Youwei’s heart.
This man was her husband in name, and his name was Ye Xuan.
From today onwards, she would begin to truly love this man.
“Would the young friend care to talk?”
At this moment, an old voice emanated from the depths of the Emperor Immortal Sect, filled with an excitement that was hard to conceal.
“Hmm?” This sudden voice surprised everyone present.
“It’s the Ancestor!” Zhou Youwei and Jiang Jing were the first to react.
“Ancestor!” Qiu Wenhan also said respectfully.
Ye Xuan, however, remained calm, and indifferently said, “Why didn’t you speak up just now?
Only coming out after the fight is over?”
Upon hearing this, everyone was embarrassed, taken aback by Ye Xuan’s audacity.
The person was the Ancestor of the Emperor Immortal Sect, far more powerful than Leng Rufeng, yet Ye Xuan showed no sign of respect, making everyone feel embarrassed.
But having witnessed Ye Xuan’s capabilities, no one dared to criticize him openly.
“Don’t blame me, young friend.
I indeed was about to intervene just now, but your skills were sufficient so I did not,” the voice of the Ancestor from Emperor Immortal Sect spoke again, voluntarily clarifying.
It seemed that the Ancestor was not angry.
“Heh heh,” Ye Xuan chuckled, not buying the old Ancestor’s story.
If it weren’t for the fact that he had control over some mechanisms within the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple, even if Leng Rufeng had slapped him to death, that Ancestor definitely wouldn’t have intervened.
As the Undying Night Emperor, who had survived through the ages, Ye Xuan understood this better than anyone.
Before showing your worth, others looking down upon you was normal, and even if you died, no one would shed a tear for you.
But once you demonstrated extraordinary value, even if you committed a great wrong, you would be forgiven.
“If you wish to meet, then come find me yourself,” Ye Xuan said slowly.
Those words once again made everyone present tremble inwardly, secretly complaining.
That was way too bold, asking the Ancestor to come meet him?
“Young friend, I’m really not in a state to appear, I hope you understand,” the Ancestor of the Emperor Immortal Sect explained.
Ye Xuan thoughtfully said, “It seems you won’t live much longer either.”
“Pffff—”
Upon hearing this, everyone was choked up.
Oh God, could you not frighten people like this?
That is the Ancestor you’re talking about!
Is it really okay for you to be tempting fate like this?!
“Little brother, shall I take you to meet the Elder Ancestor?” Qiu Wenhan couldn’t help but bitterly smile as he spoke.
“Sure, for your sake, let’s meet him,” Ye Xuan responded without denial.
He knew what the Elder Ancestor wanted to ask about and indeed, he had his own reasons for needing the Elder Ancestor.
Ye Xuan then said to Zhou Youwei, “Wife, I’m off to meet that old geezer, you guys take care of things here.”
“Old geezer…” Zhou Youwei couldn’t help but feel a wave of exasperation, taking a deep breath and speaking earnestly, “Ye Xuan, when you meet the Elder Ancestor, you must not be disrespectful, understand?”
Calling him an old geezer is already quite polite,” Ye Xuan said earnestly.
Zhou Youwei couldn’t help but facepalm, feeling it difficult to school Ye Xuan in such matters, and could only say helplessly, “Fine then, just be careful.”
“Let’s go, little brother,” Qiu Wenhan urged.
“Mm,” Ye Xuan didn’t waste any more words.
Together with Qiu Wenhan, they flew towards the deep reaches of the Emperor Immortal Sect’s territory.
It’s worth mentioning that Ye Xuan was only at the Reach Profound level, incapable of Sky-controlling Flight.
It was Qiu Wenhan who carried him.
To truly fly, one needed to reach the Prince level.
To achieve the level of Prince, one must open the Divine Gate, communicate with the Spirit of the Void God Realm, subsequently forge the Dao Foundation, shape the Daoist Platform, inscribe the Inscriptions to make the body perfect, only then could one reach the level of Prince.
Such beings, within the Lie Tian Upper Country, belonged to the class of princes.
……
This place was the deepest part of Emperor Immortal Sect, where peaks pierced the clouds, and at a glance, clouds drifted below one’s feet.
After bringing Ye Xuan here, Qiu Wenhan retreated to one side, not letting his gaze wander.
Ye Xuan sat on the ground with three people facing him, three elders.
The three elders were indistinct, their figures ethereal, almost as if their spirits had left their bodies.
At this moment, the three elders were sizing up Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan was likewise sizing up the three elders.
“How much longer can you three live?” Ye Xuan slightly raised his eyebrows, breaking the silence first.
The statement startled Qiu Wenhan nearby, who hurriedly coughed twice, reminding Ye Xuan to be mindful.
“Roughly a dozen years,” the middle elder slowly said.
It was the same voice as before.
“A dozen years, eh…” Ye Xuan’s eyebrows furrowed tightly as he said, “Then it seems the Emperor Immortal Sect is in trouble.”
“Indeed, it is difficult.
Once we three old geezers die, the Emperor Immortal Sect will surely perish,” the elder did not deny.
However, he soon shifted the tone, saying to Ye Xuan, “But your appearance, gives us hope for the rise of the Emperor Immortal Sect!”
The eyes of all three were fixed on Ye Xuan, burning hot.
Ye Xuan lifted his eyelids and said, “Stop, don’t look at me with those eyes, I’m not interested in men, especially not old geezers like you.”
“Cough!” All three were choked up momentarily, retracting their gaze.
The middle elder continued, “My friend, regardless, you are a man of Emperor Immortal Sect, and if you can master the secrets of the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple, we will not intervene.
Moreover, we will pass on the Great Emperor Immortal Technique ‘Heavenly God Fierce Fire Scripture’ left by our ancestor, making you the true heir of the Emperor Immortal Sect.”
Others may not know, but they were very aware that the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple had a legend: when the Emperor Immortal Sect faced a crisis of annihilation, the temple would reveal a Divine Miracle.
And everything about the Lie Tian Daoist Platform proved just that!
However, Ye Xuan controlling this kind of power was beyond their expectations.
“Wait, ‘Heavenly God Fierce Fire Scripture’ is the strongest Great Emperor Immortal Technique in the Emperor Immortal Sect now?” Ye Xuan furrowed his brows and asked.
“Certainly, this technique is only practiced by the Sect Master and us three,” the elder nodded and answered.
“What about the Emperor Dao then?” Ye Xuan asked.
Emperor Dao was the strongest Great Emperor Immortal Technique of the Lie Tian Great Emperor and the main technique practiced by the Lie Tian Great Emperor.
Since when had it changed to ‘Heavenly God Fierce Fire Scripture’?
“How do you know about the Emperor Dao?” the left elder asked in astonishment.
Ye Xuan glanced at him and didn’t answer, but rather focused his gaze on the middle elder.
The middle elder pondered and said, “The ‘Emperor Dao’ has been lost…”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
No wonder the Emperor Immortal Sect had declined so quickly.
With its most important techniques gone, it was hardly surprising.
“Was it taken by the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect?” Ye Xuan asked.
The elder shook his head and replied, “Not exactly, it’s genuinely lost, even we are unclear about the entire situation.”
Ye Xuan sighed softly and said, “If you’ve called me here just to pass on the ‘Heavenly God Fierce Fire Scripture’ to me, I refuse.”
“Why?!” This time, the three elders were shocked.
Qiu Wenhan nearby was even more confused.
