The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 32 - 31 Ning Zhengtian Reappears

32: Chapter 31 Ning Zhengtian Reappears

32 -31 Ning Zhengtian Reappears

“I found it,” Ye Xuan said as he opened the Jade Scroll, a slight smile appearing on his face, his eyes filled with a touch of emotion.

“I knew it, with Lie Tian’s character, there’s no way he wouldn’t leave something for his descendants to protect their lives.”

Ye Xuan gently blew a breath of air, and a layer of dust rolled up from the Jade Scroll.

This stack of Jade Slips had clearly been sitting here for a long time, untouched.

After Ye Xuan tidied it up, the Jade Scroll looked much more pleasant, its surface shimmering with flowing light.

Once Ye Xuan opened the Jade Scroll, he began to read carefully, his expression serious.

This made the protector secretly observing Ye Xuan somewhat curious, thinking to himself, “If I’m not mistaken, he’s reading the ‘Heaven and Earth Strange Stories’…”

“It’s said that this guy has only recovered his senses less than half a month ago, no wonder he’s not interested in other Cultivation Technique Dao Collections, but is intrigued by these ‘Heaven and Earth Strange Stories’.”

The protector shook his head and chose not to delve further into the matter.

The ‘Heaven and Earth Strange Stories’ is just a collection of Jade Slips that record various oddities between heaven and earth.

Such books could be purchased in any bookstore within the boundaries of Lie Tian Heavenly Country, of course, the ‘Heaven and Earth Strange Stories’ found inside Emperor Immortal Sect contained many more records.

However, most disciples who enter the Scripture Pavilion would earnestly select from the Cultivation Technique Dao Collection, and no one would usually bother looking through the ‘Heaven and Earth Strange Stories’.

If someone saw Ye Xuan doing this, he would probably not be able to escape being ridiculed.

Nevertheless, Ye Xuan at the moment is reading with rapt attention, as if he were in a trance.

What he was truly interested in was not the ‘Heaven and Earth Strange Stories’ itself, but the secrets hidden within, the secrets left by Lie Tian Great Emperor.

After a long while, Ye Xuan slowly closed the ‘Heaven and Earth Strange Stories’ and put it back on the shelf before standing up to leave.

“People from Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect should be returning soon, I guess,” Ye Xuan said as he stepped out of the Scripture Pavilion and looked up at the sky, squinting slightly.

At that moment, a disciple from a branch of Emperor Peak came running over and said, “Young Master, you’ve finally come out!”

“Lead the way,” Ye Xuan said.

“Huh?” The disciple blinked in confusion and asked, “What?”

“The people from Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect have come again, haven’t they?

Lead the way,” Ye Xuan said.

“How did you know?” The disciple’s mouth fell open in shock, then he said, “Has Protector Xu told you already?”

“Stop talking nonsense.” Ye Xuan gave the disciple a sidelong glance.

“Alright, I’ll take the young master there right now.” The disciple dared not dawdle and took Ye Xuan towards the Lie Tian Hall.

The people from Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect had come again, specifically asking to see Ye Xuan.

At the moment, inside Lie Tian Hall, Ning Zhengtian was seated to one side, with Jiang Jing, Wu Jingshan, and Lu Chengde also present.

“Lord Ning, do you need Ye Xuan for something?” Jiang Jing asked uneasily, cautiously inquiring. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Ning Zhengtian said calmly, “Of course it’s good news.”

This made Jiang Jing even more uneasy.

After hesitating for a moment, she said, “Lord Ning, about the incident a few days ago, it was Ye Xuan’s fault.

As his mother-in-law, I apologize to you on his behalf.”

As she spoke, Jiang Jing bowed to Ning Zhengtian.

Ning Zhengtian’s brows raised slightly, showing a trace of displeasure as he said, “There’s no need for that.

That day, the person I and the young master knelt to was the Ancestral Master, not that Ye Xuan.”

Despite saying this, Ning Zhengtian still felt quite uncomfortable at heart.

However, with the Great Elder’s command to retrieve the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Order, once it was in hand, this Ye Xuan would be nothing more than a common ant, unworthy of attention.

“Reporting to all Elders, the son-in-law has arrived!”

A disciple’s voice relayed the news from outside.

“Let him in,” Jiang Jing said.

Soon, Ye Xuan walked into the great hall alone, his hands casually tucked into his pockets, his gaze naturally falling on Ning Zhengtian.

All eyes turned to Ye Xuan.

“Master!” Wu Jingshan was the first to salute respectfully.

Ye Xuan just hummed softly in response, then found a chair to sit down and said indifferently to Ning Zhengtian, “Speak, I’m somewhat busy.”

“Ye Xuan, don’t be rude!” Jiang Jing rebuked softly, shooting Ye Xuan a warning glance.

However, Ye Xuan remained entirely composed, as if he hadn’t noticed at all.

Seeing this, Ning Zhengtian felt an increasing disdain in his heart, but his face remained expressionless as he took out a stack of jade slips and a jade vase, placing them on the table beside him.

He said to Ye Xuan, “The ‘Tianxuan Thunder Scripture,’ a Divine Level Technique comprising twenty-eight Divine Skills and Daoist Techniques.

The Purple Thunder Pill, a top-grade seven variations spirit pill, which, when taken in conjunction with the ‘Tianxuan Thunder Scripture,’ will allow one’s cultivation to progress by leaps and bounds.”

Upon hearing this, everyone present slightly furrowed their brows, a hint of astonishment on their faces.

What did this mean?

A Divine Level Technique and a top-grade seven variations spirit pill!

These two items, if made public, would probably lead to a frenzied scramble and bloodshed among countless sects.

What was Ning Zhengtian trying to do?

“Hehehe…” Ye Xuan chuckled, then said slowly, “The Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect’s sincerity is really ‘substantial.’ Are you trying to appease a beggar?”

“A mere Divine Level Technique and seven variations spirit pill at hand?”

He had anticipated that the people from the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect would return, seeking to retrieve the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Order, especially since his reclaiming of the tenth Heaven Suppressing Ancient Order would be considered a significant accomplishment.

However, the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect truly regarded him as an ordinary person.

To think that a Divine Level Technique and a seven variations spirit pill would be enough to exchange for the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Order was indeed laughable.

“Mere…” Ye Xuan’s words left Jiang Jing and the others speechless.

A Divine Level Technique was, in the current Emperor Immortal Sect, a rare treasure.

Furthermore, the top-grade seven variations Purple Thunder Pill was something even Wu Jingshan would likely struggle to concoct.

But it made sense upon further thought.

After all, Ye Xuan had declined the ‘Heavenly God Fierce Fire Scripture’ and the Domineering Body Pill just a few days before and naturally would not value the ‘Tianxuan Thunder Scripture’ or the Purple Thunder Pill.

Yet Ning Zhengtian’s face fell, and he frowned at Ye Xuan, “What do you want then?”

Could this guy be insatiably greedy?

Ye Xuan spoke calmly, “You can go back.

Tell those old timers of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect that if they want the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Order, they will need the Sect Leader of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect to come in person; otherwise, forget about taking it back.”

In the past, the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Emperor had issued ten Heaven Suppressing Ancient Orders, but in fact, only nine were released, with one non-existent.

However, the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Emperor bestowed the last slot to Ye Xuan.

The reason for bestowing the slot was simply because Ye Xuan didn’t need this item at the time, but the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Emperor insisted on giving it to Ye Xuan and even shared the method of creating the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Orders.

At that time, Ye Xuan was the formidable Undying Night Emperor who had trained numerous invincible giants.

Naturally, he had no need for the so-called Heaven Suppressing Ancient Order.

However, this caused a perpetual inability for the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect to reclaim the tenth Heaven Suppressing Ancient Order.

Now Ye Xuan has gone ahead and crafted the tenth Heaven Suppressing Ancient Order, which, of course, the sect wanted to take back.

To tell the truth, even Ye Xuan himself hadn’t expected that he would one day have a use for the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Order.

In the present day, no one knew the purpose of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Order better than Ye Xuan, not even the Elders from the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect—perhaps only its Sect Leader might know.

“Do you realize you are courting death…” Ning Zhengtian’s eyes narrowed slightly, and an intense aura of killing intent suddenly erupted.
