The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 229 - 228: Hard to Accept

Chapter 229: Chapter 228: Hard to Accept

"These bastards, do they not know that the Supreme Elder’s corpse is still hanging at the Mountain Gate of the Emperor Immortal Sect?"

The powerhouses from the three great cultivation Sacred Lands were all somewhat angry.

The corpses of Thousand Blood Demon, Water True Person, and those from Wu Longzhou still hung at the Mountain Gate of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Yet these kids had shown mercy under the hands of the Emperor Immortal Sect’s disciples?

Mercy towards an enemy is the greatest cruelty to oneself!

Do they not understand this principle?

They were all inwardly shaking their heads in disbelief.

"When they come out later, we must teach them a good lesson."

Even now, these powerhouses from the five great forces still believed that the people they were waiting for were still behind.

Boom!

However, as soon as Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei exited the Golden Pond Gate,

the Golden Pond Gate suddenly closed.

Bewildered.

The entire place was bewildered.

"What’s going on? Our people haven’t come out yet?!"

At this, the people from the five great forces were infuriated and turned their eyes towards the people from Lie Tian Upper Country, shouting sternly.

"Quickly open the Golden Pond Gate and let them out!"

"If Lie Tian Upper Country is trying to play any tricks, don’t blame us for being impolite!"

Their faces were extremely ugly.

Their people hadn’t yet come out, but the Golden Pond Gate had already closed?!

"You jest," said an elder from Lie Tian Upper Country in a white robe with a slight smile, cupping his hands, "As everyone knows, the Golden Pond of Lie Tian Upper Country opens once every five years, and each time it opens and closes automatically, beyond human control."

"Since the Golden Pond Gate is closed, that means everyone who entered has already come out."

The elder in white spoke thusly.

He did not speak too directly, for he feared the people from the five great forces could not accept it.

"What do you mean?!"

But these words had already caused the complexions of the people from the five great forces to change.

"It means that the closing of the Golden Pond Gate indicates that those who are alive have walked out, while those who have died have vanished,"

Ye Xuan, who had just walked out of the Golden Pond Gate, said cheerfully.

"Impossible!"

These words instantly made the faces of those from the five great forces extremely ugly, "Among them, there are thirteen in the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, how could they possibly have died inside?"

They could not bring themselves to believe this fact.

"Eh? Thirteen from the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm? But wasn’t it only allowed for cultivators of Prince level and below in cultivation to enter the Golden Pond when it opened?" Ye Xuan asked, puzzled.

Hearing this, Hua Yunfei’s mouth twitched imperceptibly, this Ye Xuan, such a cunning mind he has...

"Hua Yunfei, tell us what exactly happened inside the Golden Pond, or did your Lie Tian Upper Country tamper with something?"

People from the five great forces ignored Ye Xuan and turned to Hua Yunfei, asking sternly.

At this moment, their faces were extremely ugly.

Many strong figures began to exert pressure on the people from Lie Tian Upper Country.

Boom, boom, boom————

A horrific pressure condensed together, resembling dark clouds over a city, creating a sense of foreboding unease.

"Your Highness, step back!"

The elder from Lie Tian Upper Country in a white robe’s complexion changed slightly as he took the forefront, with an earth-shaking power erupting from him!

Boom!

The formidable pressures collided, instantly creating an invisible domain in midair that made the air itself seem to twist!

"Fellow Daoists, what is the meaning of this?!"

Lu Jingfei also protected Hua Yunfei behind him, looking sternly at the people from the five great forces.

Behind him, the soldiers drew their swords, a surge of iron-blooded temperament burst forth, condensing together into an indestructible force, blocking the pressure from the five great forces.

This was a military array that relied on the strength of the soldiers combined, able to triumph over the strong with the weak.

"Release our people!" the four protectors from Xuanmo Cave pressed forward, saying sternly.

"I’ve said it, the Golden Pond closes automatically. Since it has closed, it means there are no living people inside!" The elder in white was somewhat pale as he spoke sternly.

Facing the pressure from the strong fighters of the five great forces at once was indeed too much for him to bear.

"Bullshit!"

The powerful man from Ancient Yun Shang Country cursed outright, his eyes bloodshot as he roared, "The Golden Pond is clearly controlled by your Lie Tian Upper Country, why can’t it be opened?"

Liu Tianyi, being the Second Prince of Ancient Yun Shang Country, would be doomed if he truly died inside the Golden Pond!

Therefore, even if the fact was that Liu Tianyi had died, he dared not believe it was true.

"Are you trying to reason away forcefully and pin a crime on Lie Tian Upper Country?" rebuked the elder in white sternly.

"Hua Yunfei, you know the situation inside, report it at once, or even if you are a disciple of Xuanyuan Sacred Land, we will not hesitate to kill you!" An Elder from Smoke Mist Mountain said with a heavy voice.

Upon hearing this, a trace of anger rose in Hua Yunfei’s heart.

These guys, they’re completely dismissing the Lie Tian Heavenly Country.

When they wanted a spot in the Golden Pond, why didn’t I see such arrogance?

Now that their own people have been killed inside the Golden Pond, they come to trouble the Lie Tian Heavenly Country?

And they even utter such threatening words.

Hua Yunfei’s expression turned cold, and he said slowly, "What your people were trying to do inside the Golden Pond, do I need to spell it out?"

"So, you interfered?" An Elder from Smoke Mist Mountain asked in a deep voice.

"With our strength, what do we have to interfere with?" Hua Yunfei retorted.

His words left the representatives from the five major forces speechless.

"If it wasn’t you who interfered, then who could it be? Surely not Murong Hai and his group? If you don’t have the strength, could they possibly have it?" The four protectors from Xuanmo Cave sternly said.

Hearing this conversation, Zhu Xiaofei and others, who had just walked out from the Golden Pond Gate, changed their expressions.

These guys, they probably have ill intentions!

"Senior Brother..." They couldn’t help but turn their gaze to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan remained calm, observing the quarrel in the arena but didn’t rush to intervene.

Let them argue for now.

"Do we need to inform Father?" Zhou Youwei, standing beside Ye Xuan, asked softly with her eyes moving.

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "My father-in-law is currently in seclusion, there’s no need to disturb him."

"Besides, they’re nothing more than a mob."

"Nothing to worry about."

Hearing these words, Zhu Xiaofei, Lv Xiuli, and the rest felt a bit embarrassed.

A mob?

The three powerhouses from the Ancient Yun Shang Country include two famous Tributors, with the other being a powerhouse of the Ancient Yun Shang Country’s Imperial Family, each with strength surpassing that of Princes.

The two powerhouses from Thunder Cloud Mountain, one is an Elder, the other is a protector.

Not to mention the four Great Protectors from Xuanmo Cave.

The three Elders from Smoke Mist Mountain are also above Princes in strength.

The four powerhouses from the Spirit Grave Sacred Land are all above Prince level as well.

Could such a massive force be called a mob?

Their combined strength is even more formidable than that of thirteen cultivators at the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.

Is there such a thing as a mob like this?

They certainly hadn’t seen it.

However, seeing Ye Xuan’s confident demeanor, they felt a bit more at ease.

If the Senior Brother isn’t panicking, then they just need to stabilize their own state of mind.

After all, seven days ago, they had already witnessed Ye Xuan creating an astonishing miracle.

This time, perhaps he could do it again.

Even if not, perhaps the ancestor would sense the situation here and rush over to help.

"Right, where are the two Tributors?" Suddenly, a disciple remembered to ask.

However, this question instantly drew scorn.

"Huang Nian, Wen Lin, and Liu Tianhao are all traitors, and you’re still expecting something from those two Tributors? They must be traitors too!"

Zhu Xiaofei scoffed.

Their gazes quickly locked onto Yu Wenlei and Nie Shan.

At that moment, Yu Wenlei and Nie Shan’s faces were extremely pale.

For some reason, they always felt that this matter had a lot to do with Ye Xuan.

But they couldn’t figure out, with what could Ye Xuan turn the tables?

After all, those were nineteen Princes and thirteen cultivators at the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm!

If they encountered them, they would only have one path – death.

Were Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei’s strengths already more formidable than theirs?

It was hard to judge.

But now, they had to admit a fact.

The plans of the five major forces had all failed.

Everyone had died inside the Golden Pond.

Including Gu Yun’s Second Prince Liu Tianyi and another Prince, Liu Tianhao.

They were all dead.

This was something they had never expected.

At this time, both of them felt the gaze of the fellow disciples from the Emperor Immortal Sect on them, their faces turned paler, they exchanged glances, looking extremely disturbed.

They knew their identities were completely exposed.

"Ye Xuan?!"

It was at this moment that Hua Yunfei couldn’t hold back anymore and revealed Ye Xuan’s slaughter in the Golden Pond to everyone. Upon hearing this, everyone was in disbelief.

Nie Shan and Yu Wenlei were also shocked as they looked at Ye Xuan.
