The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 209 - 208: Mutual Deception

Chapter 209: Chapter 208: Mutual Deception

Early in the morning, people from various powers began discussing.

"Have you heard, someone from Lie Tian Heavenly Country was killed last night, and the way he died was especially similar to Huang Jingtian’s death."

"Doesn’t that mean it was Ye Xuan who killed him?"

"Who knows, but the one who died was a follower of Hua Yunfei."

"Right, after all, Huang Jingtian was instigated by Lie Tian Heavenly Country yesterday to deliberately set a trap to provoke people from Emperor Immortal Sect. Ye Xuan may have verbally let it go yesterday, but deep down, he must have still been dissatisfied, so he went out last night and slaughtered the man."

"..."

This was just a superficial explanation.

The true powers arrived.

For example, people from powers like Xuanmo Cave, Smoke Mist Mountain, and Sacred Land of Lingxu were very clear.

The man who died was not a lackey of Hua Yunfei, but an assassin from the Blood Killing Sect.

As for who he came to kill, everyone knew very well.

However, the death of the Blood Hunting King made everyone wake up to the realization.

Among the disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect, there must be masters hidden.

But this was no matter, because they too had masters hidden among them.

It was only when the Golden Pond opened later, upon entering the Golden Pond, that the real game would begin!

Therefore, those who truly understood didn’t say much.

The ones discussing were simply geniuses from ordinary powers.

Their knowledge was limited; they could only obtain more information by discussing with each other.

Unfortunately, it was of no use.

Early in the morning, the people of Lie Tian Heavenly Country also got up.

To be precise, they hadn’t slept all night.

Hua Yunfei was the same.

Overnight, they had been discussing the cause of the Blood Hunting King’s death.

In the end, they concluded that among those thirty disciples of Emperor Immortal Sect, there was still a highly skilled master hidden.

But with the death of the Blood Hunting King, Hua Yunfei no longer had an ace up his sleeve, and for the upcoming journey to the Golden Pond, he had made up his mind not to target Ye Xuan anymore.

If he continued to make a move, it would only lead to a dead end.

Moreover, it would send the wrong signal to the Emperor Immortal Sect, that Lie Tian Heavenly Country was ready to openly break with them.

This was not what Hua Yunfei wanted.

He knew the scheme of his Imperial Father; the Emperor intended for the Blood Hunting King to kill Ye Xuan, thus cutting off a potential threat and plunging Emperor Immortal Sect into internal chaos.

Then the Emperor would propose marriage to Emperor Immortal Sect, arranging for Hua Yunfei to marry Zhou Youwei.

If the plan failed, then they would settle for the second best and propose marriage to Zhou Bingyi.

When the time came, Hua Yunfei would become the son-in-law of Emperor Immortal Sect and could attend the ancestral worship at the Emperor Immortal Sect, thereby uncovering the secrets of the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple.

This was the plan.

But now, the mission to hunt down Ye Xuan could be said to have ended in premature failure.

From now on, he could no longer target Ye Xuan, but instead, he should stand with Ye Xuan, building a good relationship in anticipation of the marriage proposal his Imperial Father would make to the Emperor Immortal Sect.

After sorting things out, Hua Yunfei was quite calm, wearing a faint smile, returning to his spirited look from the previous day.

Looking at him, one wouldn’t think he had just lost one of his subordinates.

This made many geniuses from various powers secretly marvel.

His own subordinate was slaughtered, and he could still smile?

Of course, they were unaware of what Hua Yunfei was plotting.

On the other side.

Ye Xuan put away the mobile palace complex, and everyone was ready to depart, full of energy.

After yesterday’s events, they were all holding back their energy, determined to absorb more strength after entering the Golden Pond today!

"Brother-in-law, why are so many people looking at us?" Zhou Bingyi stood behind Ye Xuan and whispered, looking vigilant.

As they emerged from the mobile palace complex, they realized all eyes were upon them.

Zhu Xiaofei and the others also became alert.

"These guys, they couldn’t possibly be planning another confrontation today, could they?" Xiao Zhan muttered.

For a moment, everyone became quietly vigilant.

"One of Hua Yunfei’s lackeys died; some suspect it was Ye Xuan who had a hand in it." Yu Wenlei looked at Ye Xuan with a peculiar expression and said slowly.

Nie Shan also looked at Ye Xuan.

They had been responsible for keeping watch last night and naturally noticed the commotion; it wasn’t long before they learned of the death of the Blood Hunting King.

And the cause of death was surprisingly pointing to Ye Xuan, which left them astonished.

Because they had seen Ye Xuan enter the palace with Zhou Youwei and Zhou Bingyi and he never came out, how could he possibly have killed someone?

It was precisely because of this that they felt even more perplexed.

"What?!" Everyone was shocked to hear this claim.

Especially Zhou Bingyi, who angrily said, "My brother-in-law was clearly with us sleeping last night, how could he have possibly gone out to kill someone?"

Upon these words, the originally incensed disciples all had peculiar expressions on their faces.

Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Youwei, and Ye Xuan slept together?!

What the hell!

"Big brother, impressive!" Zhu Xiaofei quietly gave Ye Xuan a thumbs up.

Xiao Zhan, Lv Xiuli, and others wore faces of admiration.

As for Huang Nian and Liu Tianhao, the corners of their mouths twitched in secret.

This Ye Xuan was simply a brute.

Sleeping with two sisters together?!

Envy, jealousy, and hatred!

"Bingyi!" Zhou Youwei couldn’t help but blush and hurriedly chided in a low voice.

"Sister, those bastards from Lie Tian Heavenly Country must be slandering brother-in-law; it’s infuriating!" Zhou Bingyi, however, shouted out loud, "Brother-in-law was clearly with us sleeping, how could he have possibly gone out to kill someone?"

Seeing Zhou Bingyi emphasize it repeatedly, Nie Shan and Yu Wenlei also put aside the doubts in their minds.

Actually, they were quite afraid; if it really had been Ye Xuan silently going out to kill someone, then the words they said last night might also have been overheard.

Involuntarily, they looked towards Ye Xuan again.

Ye Xuan stood hands in pockets, a sly smile clinging to his lips, his gaze falling on Zhou Youwei and Zhou Bingyi.

This made the two of them even more certain that Ye Xuan definitely hadn’t gone out last night!

However, according to the calculations, there might still be other experts among the people of Emperor Immortal Sect...

"This kid is really strange," they both thought secretly.

"Brother Ye Xuan!"

It was at this moment that Hua Yunfei led a group of people from Lie Tian Heavenly Country towards the people of Emperor Immortal Sect.

"Hmm?"

The people in the dao arena narrowed their eyes slightly at this scene, wondering if Hua Yunfei was coming to trouble Ye Xuan.

Everyone felt a hint of anticipation.

The Golden Pond would be opening in a little while; if they could start fighting and fewer people went in, they could absorb more of the Golden Pond’s power later on.

"Hm? What are these guys up to?" The people of Emperor Immortal Sect also narrowed their eyes slightly and looked towards the approaching Hua Yunfei and his group with an unfriendly gaze.

"You scoundrel, someone from your own ranks dies, and you come to falsely accuse my brother-in-law; I spit on you!" Zhou Bingyi spoke out, pointing at Hua Yunfei.

This remark immediately made the faces of the people from Lie Tian Heavenly Country behind Hua Yunfei look unpleasant.

It was their person who had died, yet these guys were still so arrogant?

However, they had already received orders from Hua Yunfei earlier, so after hearing Zhou Bingyi’s scolding, they could only remain silent.

"Something the matter?" Ye Xuan turned his head, looking at Hua Yunfei with a smile.

Hua Yunfei returned the gesture with a smile, "It’s all a misunderstanding. The person who died last night was not from our Lie Tian Heavenly Country, but actually the disciple of a friend of my father, who wanted to enter the Golden Pond to Wash the Meridians and Marrow. Unfortunately, last night he somehow provoked a fierce beast and that’s why he met a tragic end."

"That makes more sense." Seeing Hua Yunfei proactively clarify the situation, Zhou Bingyi refrained from saying more, only snorting lightly.

"Really?" Ye Xuan chuckled softly, then said in a measured tone, "Actually, I was prepared to deliver a big gift last night."

Hua Yunfei’s heart sank slightly, a shadow flashing deep in his eyes, but he concealed it well, chuckling, "Brother Ye Xuan is really thoughtful, but there’s no need to speak in such formalities among family. With the opening of the Golden Pond, let’s enter together."

Ye Xuan glanced at Hua Yunfei disdainfully, "Who is family with you?"

Hua Yunfei let out a forced laugh and said nothing more, yet he stood close to the people of Emperor Immortal Sect, seemingly ready to advance and retreat together with them.

This put the disciples of Emperor Immortal Sect on alert, unclear about what Hua Yunfei was plotting.

The conversation between Ye Xuan and Hua Yunfei was incomprehensible to the others.

But Hua Yunfei knew very well that the Blood Hunting King was probably killed by Ye Xuan.

Had Ye Xuan’s strength reached such a level?

Even the Blood Hunting King, who specialized in killing princes, was taken down by him.

Then his strength must have already surpassed that of a prince...

Members of the other powers, seeing that Hua Yunfei and Ye Xuan hadn’t come to blows, were somewhat disappointed.

"It seems that we’ll have to take action ourselves after entering the Golden Pond..."

Someone muttered secretly.
