The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 177 - 176: Three Masters

Chapter 177: Chapter 176: Three Masters

At this very moment, scouts hiding outside the Emperor Immortal Sect’s Mountain Gate, each representing their own Sect’s power, transmitted the recent events back to their respective forces at the first opportunity.

When those forces learned that Ye Xuan had forcefully repelled three Elders from the three great Cultivation Sacred Lands, they were all surprised.

"It looks like, after their victory against Luotian Sacred Land, the Emperor Immortal Sect has completely swollen with pride, they don’t even regard the three great Cultivation Sacred Lands," a cultivator whispered.

"Tsk tsk tsk, although the Emperor Immortal Sect has indeed been on the rise during this period, having offended the three great Cultivation Sacred Lands, well, that’s tricky."

"I actually think the three great Cultivation Sacred Lands won’t take action; otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent envoys to demand answers, they would have taken matters into their own hands right away."

"Indeed, if they really wanted to make a move, they would have done so by now, I suspect they are wary of the Emperor Immortal Sect’s ancestor taking action, hence they only sent people to probe."

"If that’s the case, it seems unlikely that we will see a full-scale battle between the two sides anytime soon."

"That’s not necessarily true, after May, when the Southern Ghost Tomb opens, the Emperor Immortal Sect has already qualified, and the three great Cultivation Sacred Lands are also qualified, there’s bound to be a fierce collision then!"

"That’s true; you can’t rule out the possibility that the three great Cultivation Sacred Lands might target the younger generation, and if they were to eliminate the entire younger generation of the Emperor Immortal Sect, that would be quite the spectacle."

"The Emperor Immortal Sect has indeed been too high-profile recently, it would be good to knock them down a peg, lest they not know how to restrain themselves..."

"......"

Such voices continuously circulated among the Sect forces around the Emperor Immortal Sect.

However, the Emperor Immortal Sect didn’t pay too much attention to all of this.

At Emperor Peak, in the Emperor Great Hall.

"Ye Xuan, are you sure we don’t need to be on guard?" Jiang Jing looked at Ye Xuan, her brows slightly furrowed, and asked, "Those people have said they would personally challenge the Emperor Immortal Sect."

"Don’t worry, they won’t dare come," Ye Xuan said with a slight smile as he sat in his chair.

Zhou Youwei sat beside Ye Xuan, silent.

On the opposite side, Qiu Wenhan, Yu Wenlei, and Nie Shan were also present.

The meeting was originally to discuss the three great Cultivation Sacred Lands sending envoys, but Jiang Jing seemed to have given all the decision-making power to Ye Xuan.

This left Yu Wenlei and Nie Shan dazed, with a peculiar feeling rising in their hearts.

How did it feel like the Emperor Immortal Sect was completely under Ye Xuan’s control...

The Sect Master was in seclusion, and on certain matters, Jiang Jing always consulted Ye Xuan.

Such scenes truly left Yu Wenlei and Nie Shan somewhat perplexed.

"It seems Ye Xuan is the true talent that the Emperor Immortal Sect really wants to cultivate, even marrying off a heaven’s pride like Zhou Youwei to him, it must be to bind him to them," Yu Wenlei thought to himself.

In the past, they all thought Ye Xuan was a cowardly and incompetent son-in-law, making the Emperor Immortal Sect bear infamy.

But in the past month, they witnessed Ye Xuan performing miracles.

This also changed their impressions of Ye Xuan.

This person was not at all like the rumors suggested, but rather a true prodigy!

"When there’s time, it’s essential to pass this news back to Thunder Cloud Mountain..." Yu Wenlei thought to himself.

"Master Wenlei?" Jiang Jing called out again.

"Ah?" Yu Wenlei then snapped back to attention, only to find Ye Xuan looking at him, no, everyone was looking at him.

"Is Tributor Yu feeling homesick?" Ye Xuan said with a quasi-smile.

This remark directly caused Yu Wenlei to break out in a cold sweat, he hurriedly said, "This old man was thinking of the injuries of his two disciples, so he didn’t hear everyone else, please forgive me."

Speaking, Yu Wenlei gestured apologetically to Jiang Jing.

"I was indeed asking about Huang Nian and Wen Lin’s injuries," Jiang Jing nodded.

"Ah, I understand," Yu Wenlei said with a laugh, "Thanks to Elder Jiang’s concern, both my disciples’ injuries have stabilized and will not take long to heal."

"That’s good," Jiang Jing said.

"It’s all thanks to Elder Wu’s excellent medical skills," Yu Wenlei said.

Ye Xuan glanced at Yu Wenlei and said slowly, "In half a month, have the two of them join me, and we will head to the Golden Pond in the Lie Tian Heavenly Country."

"They are also going?" Jiang Jing and Qiu Wenhan were immediately astonished.

Not just Jiang Jing and Qiu Wenhan, but Yu Wenlei and Nie Shan also looked at Ye Xuan with surprise and confusion.

Logically, whether it was Yu Wenlei or Nie Shan, both were still under suspicion. Huang Nian and Wen Lin, as the disciples of Yu Wenlei, naturally also had the suspicion of being spies, but Ye Xuan was nonetheless taking them along to the Golden Pond?

The Golden Pond, that only opened once every five years and had the effect of Washing the Meridians and Marrow, had limited spots, which should be given to one’s own people; why would he give it to those under suspicion?

Sensing their confusion, Ye Xuan spoke with an indifferent smile, "Although Huang Nian and Wen Lin did not win in the exchange conference, they have indeed contributed greatly to our sect, and considering their exceptional potential, it’s fine to offer them this opportunity."

"Moreover, Liu Tianhao will also go along."

For he could see clearly whether it was Huang Nian, Wen Lin, or Liu Tianhao, all had significant issues.

The trip to the Golden Pond half a month later won’t be as simple as imagined.

Bringing them along naturally has some kind of use.

"Alright then."

Seeing Ye Xuan speak, Jiang Jing and the others, although filled with questions, decided not to inquire further.

They were well aware that if Ye Xuan said so, there must be a reason for it.

As to what the reason was, they chose not to delve into it.

Given their understanding of Ye Xuan, they knew he wouldn’t elaborate further.

"At that time, Youwei and Bingyi will both come with me," Ye Xuan said.

Zhou Youwei nodded lightly.

Jiang Jing then said, "Bingyi is going too?"

Ye Xuan nodded and answered, "She’s currently at the Daoist Platform Realm, she needs to establish a solid foundation, her talent won’t be inferior to Youwei’s."

Ye Xuan had a rather positive view of this sharp-tongued but kind-hearted little aunt.

In Zhou Bingyi, Ye Xuan saw something extraordinary.

Having made up his mind to rejuvenate the Emperor Immortal Sect, he knew he couldn’t do it alone; he had to lift up the others from the Emperor Immortal Sect as well.

The decline of the Emperor Immortal Sect wasn’t just due to the withering of top combat power but also because the younger disciples lacked mentorship from enlightened masters.

But with Ye Xuan present, there wouldn’t be a shortage of enlightened mentors.

As the Eternal Emperor Master, Undying Night Emperor, he had mentored countless invincible individuals.

First and foremost, establishing a solid foundation for these youngsters was of paramount importance.

"Reporting to the Sect Master’s wife, outside, Elder Hua Feng, Master Dan Yun Sect’s Liao Yue, and Master Dan Yuan from the Alchemist Guild have jointly arrived and wish to visit our Sect."

At this moment, a report suddenly came from outside.

"Elder Hua Feng, Master Liao Yue, Master Dan Yuan?!"

Upon hearing these three titles, everyone in the hall was taken aback.

"These are all famous alchemy masters, why would they visit our Sect?!" Jiang Jing rose swiftly, eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

"Could they be here to visit Elder Wu?" Qiu Wenhan also expressed his confusion.

Yu Wenlei and Nie Shan were equally perplexed.

About Elder Hua Feng, Master Liao Yue, and Master Dan Yuan, they had all heard of their great reputation and had even purchased elixirs made by them, so they were quite taken aback.

"If nothing out of the ordinary has happened, they’re probably here for me," Ye Xuan said softly, touching his nose.

"Here for you?!"

Everyone looked incredulous.

Especially Yu Wenlei and Nie Shan, who couldn’t help but scoff silently in their minds.

They acknowledged that Ye Xuan was indeed a rare talent, but would such illustrious individuals come to visit a greenhorn?

That simply seemed impossible.

Those able to garner visits from these three great masters would undoubtedly be very famous figures in the alchemy world.

But within the entire Emperor Immortal Sect, the only alchemist worthy of mention was Wu Jingshan.

Wu Jingshan was a hex-tier alchemist, and since he was from the East Desolation Medicine Pavilion, his status in the alchemy world was not low.

Elder Hua Feng, in strict terms, could be considered Wu Jingshan’s senior brother.

"It seems most likely they’re here to visit Elder Wu," Nie Shan said softly.

"Let’s go and see," Jiang Jing said, looking at Ye Xuan with a skeptical eye, then spoke up.

"You all go, I’ll wait here," Ye Xuan said, yawning.

He had woken up early today and was indeed still a bit sleepy.

If not for knowing that people from the three great cultivation sacred lands would come today, he would still be in bed sleeping.

Sleeping is indeed the best way to recover Soul Power.

Yesterday’s help with his father-in-law’s recovery of Emperor Dao was truly exhausting.

"Okay, you rest here, I will go and welcome them," Jiang Jing did not insist further.

"Notify Elder Wu," Jiang Jing said to a disciple outside.

Just to be safe, in case the three masters were indeed here for Wu Jingshan, it would be best to call him as well.
