The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 245 - 244: Death Is But Touching the Ground with Your Forehead

Chapter 245: Chapter 244: Death Is But Touching the Ground with Your Forehead

Boom!

The Emperor and Hua Yunfei were forced by Hua Tianqiong to kneel before Ye Xuan.

That scene was clearly witnessed by the Forbidden Army and Zhou Youwei among others.

"This..."

Everyone was astonished.

What’s going on here!?

Why was Hua Tianqiong helping Ye Xuan?

Not just them, even the Emperor and Hua Yunfei were dumbfounded, immediately followed by a wave of humiliation.

They were, after all, the Emperor and Prince of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country, holding the highest status in the entire realm.

Especially the Emperor, who was regarded as the supreme ruler!

But now, they were kneeling to Ye Xuan?!

And it was under the oppression of their own ancestor.

"Ancestor Grandfather?!" The Emperor’s face was unsightly as he barked at Hua Tianqiong.

Slap!

Hua Tianqiong retorted with a backhand slap across the Emperor’s face, his voice stern, "Kowtow to Mister Ye and admit your guilt!"

Hua Yunfei was completely flabbergasted at the side.

Why would the ancestor hit his father instead of Ye Xuan?

What exactly had happened?

At that moment, they even doubted whether Hua Tianqiong was an imposter.

But if he was an imposter, how could he possess such formidable strength?

It made no sense at all.

For a moment, both of them were simply stunned there.

Bang!

Seeing the two of them dazed, Hua Tianqiong didn’t utter another word— with a slap each, he forcibly smashed them to the ground, their heads hitting the earth as they kowtowed to Ye Xuan.

The force was so fierce that it shattered the ground, and both men’s foreheads bled from the impact!

What a brutal scene!

When they stood up again, their faces were deathly pale, and their eyes flickered with a dark light.

But at this moment, both of them had come to a realization.

The situation.

Was terribly wrong.

Something must have happened between the ancestor and Ye Xuan for the former to be so fearful of the latter.

Could it be because of the power that erupted from the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple just now?!

Both were filled with doubts and uncertainties.

"Mister Ye..." tentatively, the Emperor looked towards Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan regarded the Emperor indifferently, his voice calm, "I just gave you a chance, but you did not seize it."

As soon as these words were spoken, a surge of panic filled the Emperor’s heart.

He knew very well that Ye Xuan possessed an extremely strange power, against which he was no match at all.

Now, with Ye Xuan’s words, did it mean he wasn’t planning to spare his life?!

Ye Xuan did not pay any attention to the Emperor’s dismay and said indifferently, "I do not wish to see these two people again."

Having said that, Ye Xuan walked towards Zhou Youwei and the others.

"Mister Ye!" The Emperor was utterly panicked.

At this moment, even Hua Tianqiong’s heart trembled, knowing that Ye Xuan had the intent to kill.

Hua Tianqiong looked at the Emperor with a complex expression in his eyes, remaining silent.

"Ancestor Grandfather, you can’t kill me, I am your descendant after all!" The Emperor, seeing Hua Tianqiong’s gaze turn his way, was immediately seized with fear and panic.

At this moment, where was the persona of a mighty Emperor?

He was more like a wretched dog.

Boom!

However, Hua Tianqiong’s gaze turned fierce, and with a palm strike, he hit the Emperor’s crown chakra.

A terrifying force instantly poured into the Emperor’s body, completely sweeping away his vitality.

In the blink of an eye, the Emperor’s eyes dimmed, and he collapsed powerlessly to the ground.

Dead on the spot.

This scene shocked everyone present, including the Forbidden Army and Zhu Xiaofei, into a stupor.

"The Emperor... is dead?!"

Zhu Xiaofei and the others’ eyes were wide open in disbelief.

If they had the strength to speak at that moment, they would probably be exclaiming in shock.

The ancestor of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country actually obeyed the command of the senior apprentice brother and killed the Emperor?!

What kind of move was that?

"Father!"

At this moment, Hua Yunfei’s entire being was terrified, his face pale, with tears rolling in his eyes.

His father, the Emperor, had been murdered.

And by his own ancestral elder no less!

Hua Yunfei only felt like a bolt from the blue, unbearable to withstand.

"Yunfei, if you must blame someone, blame your father for being too foolish." After killing the Emperor, Hua Tianqiong turned to look at Hua Yunfei, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

He never would have thought that Hua Wentao would actually have Hua Yunfei poison Zhou Youwei and the others; no matter what, this was not something to be done.

Was this not seeking death?

Even if Ye Xuan did not have terrifying power, such an act would provoke the wrath of the Emperor Immortal Sect, inviting disaster upon oneself.

But Emperor Hua Wentao, as if struck with madness, actually did such a foolhardy thing, much to Hua Tianqiong’s disgust and anger.

Now, even Hua Tianqiong did not dare to show disrespect to Ye Xuan, so what was Emperor Hua Wentao?

"Ancestral elder, do you also intend to kill me?" Hua Yunfei’s eyes were bloodshot, and he said with a ferocious expression, "Don’t forget, besides being the Third Prince of Lie Tian Heavenly Country, I am also a disciple of the Xuanyuan Sacred Land!"

"My master is one of the ancient Elders of the Xuanyuan Sacred Land!"

Upon hearing these words, Hua Tianqiong, who had been about to take action, hesitated, his gaze shifting to Ye Xuan.

Unlike Emperor Hua Wentao, Hua Yunfei had been initiated into the Xuanyuan Sacred Land from a young age and was an outstanding disciple there, with his master being an ancient Elder of the Sacred Land.

If Hua Yunfei were really to be killed, it was likely that the Xuanyuan Sacred Land would not let the matter rest easily.

"Even if you were merely a disciple of the Xuanyuan Sacred Land, even if the Saint Master of the Xuanyuan Sacred Land were here himself, you would still undoubtedly die today," said Ye Xuan, without even sparing a glance, indifferently speaking his intent to kill.

This statement clearly conveyed Ye Xuan’s determined intent to kill.

Boom!

Just then, a powerful aura was swiftly approaching; a young man in green robes was coming through the sky.

"Hold your hand!"

Before even reaching the place, the young man in green robes shouted urgently.

"Hmm?" Hua Tianqiong frowned slightly, looking towards the newcomer.

"Brother Tian, save me!" When Hua Yunfei saw the person coming, he immediately grasped at the chance like a lifeline.

The young man in green robes landed and hastened to Hua Tianqiong’s side, his voice grave, "Hua junior brother is a disciple of our Xuanyuan Sacred Land, do you truly intend to take action?"

Hua Tianqiong frowned and said curtly, "Although you are a disciple of the Xuanyuan Sacred Land, this is the Imperial Palace of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country, are you overstepping your bounds?"

"Brother Tian brought me back previously and has been residing in the palace these days," Hua Yunfei quickly said.

"What of it? This is a family matter now," Hua Tianqiong retorted coldly.

The young man in green robes had a cold expression as he looked at Hua Tianqiong and said indifferently, "I don’t care whether it’s a family matter or state affair, but Hua junior brother is a person of our Xuanyuan Sacred Land, you cannot touch him."

"What if I insist on killing him?" Ye Xuan gave the young man in green robes a sidelong glance, his voice still indifferent.

Upon hearing this, the young man in green robes snorted coldly, "Then you will have to wait for the wrath of our Xuanyuan Sacred Land!"

Crash!

Before the young man in green robes could finish speaking, Hua Yunfei suddenly collapsed to the ground and inexplicably died.

"Junior Brother Hua!"

The young man in green robes’ expression changed drastically, and he hurried to examine him. When he discovered that Hua Yunfei’s vitality had vanished, his face darkened, and he stared at Ye Xuan, saying gravely, "Do you truly not fear our Xuanyuan Sacred Land!?"

Hua Tianqiong’s face went through several changes.

He had not seen how Ye Xuan had made his move, and had not expected Ye Xuan to be so decisive, killing Hua Yunfei right in front of the Xuanyuan Sacred Land disciple!

This was...

"You go ask your Xuanyuan Sacred Land’s Saint Master, see whether he fears me or I fear him," Ye Xuan said calmly to the young man in green robes.

This left the young man in green robes with an ugly expression on his face. He narrowed his eyes at Ye Xuan and said gravely, "Very well, I shall remember your words and relay them exactly to the Saint Master."

The young man in green robes picked up Hua Yunfei’s body and said coldly, "Also, my name is Tian Jindou, and I hope there will be another meeting between us.

Having said that, he departed by stepping into the air.

"Mr. Ye..." Hua Tianqiong said, looking somewhat pale as he turned to Ye Xuan.

"Let him go," Ye Xuan said naturally, understanding what Hua Tianqiong meant.

Eliminate the roots along with the weeds.

But to him, whether Tian Jindou lived or died had no influence; with Hua Yunfei dead, the matter would definitely reach the Xuanyuan Sacred Land.

Or rather, Ye Xuan did not take it to heart at all.

Seeing this, Hua Tianqiong dared not say anything further.

"Where is the antidote for the Sealing Spirit Powder?" Ye Xuan gave Hua Tianqiong a sidelong look.

"This servant will fetch it immediately," Hua Tianqiong replied respectfully.

Ye Xuan waved his hand, lifting the restrictions, which freed everyone from their imprisonment.

The looks in everyone’s eyes as they turned towards Ye Xuan all became strange.

The shocks Ye Xuan had given them were quite enough, and now there was yet another.

The ancient elder of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country actually proclaimed himself a servant before Ye Xuan, and even killed the Emperor according to Ye Xuan’s will!

That was the Emperor of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country!

Ye Xuan, however, did not say much, waiting for Hua Tianqiong to bring the antidote.

After today, this minor trouble of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country would be thoroughly resolved.
