The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 266 - 265

Chapter 266: 265

Ye Xuan sat on the stool, his expression unchanged, watching Mo Fan collapse to the ground with detachment as he slowly rose to his feet.

To his surprise, Mo Fan attempted an ambush on him.

He had thought it would be Mo Yunchui who would try to sneak attack.

"Why isn’t he my brother?" At that moment, Mo Qinglian felt bewildered by Mo Yunchui’s words.

Gazing at Mo Fan outside, a murderous intent flashed in Mo Yunchui’s eyes as he spoke calmly, "By now, you should know the truth."

"The truth? What truth?" Mo Qinglian had a foreboding feeling.

Mo Yunchui looked at Mo Qinglian and said softly, "Grandfather has always told you that we are not from this land, do you know that?"

Mo Qinglian replied in a daze, "I know, but wasn’t grandfather joking?"

Mo Yunchui shook his head, "It’s no joke. It’s the truth. We come from the East Desolate Mo Family."

"That’s an existence on the level of an overlord in the East Desolate..."

Mo Yunchui narrated all the incidents that had taken place.

Seventeen years ago, Mo Yunchui and the strong members of the Mo family fought in the Demon Realm, only to be betrayed by someone from the Mo family, resulting in him being severely wounded by one of the top forces of the Demon Realm.

And his second son and daughter-in-law, in their efforts to protect him, were cruelly murdered on the spot.

That battle inflicted heavy losses on the Mo family.

Mo Yunchui escaped back to the Mo family only to face another ambush and was attacked.

With his broken body, Mo Yunchui knew there was a traitor in the Mo family. He secretly went to a branch family, used some means, and took Mo Qinglian with him.

Because he felt this conspiracy aimed to extinguish all hope of the Mo family’s survival.

Moreover, Mo Qinglian, at the time of her birth, had awakened the Pure Spirit Divine Body and would certainly be targeted.

Fortunately, he always had people guarding her, and Mo Qinglian was safely brought to his side.

In addition, he had someone bring along a nephew’s son as well.

That person was Mo Fan.

The reason he had Mo Fan brought along was because Mo Yunchui suspected that his nephew was the traitor.

To be safe, he sealed Mo Qinglian’s Pure Spirit Divine Body and then, with Mo Qinglian and Mo Fan in tow, he traveled far to the Southern Domain, settling just outside the Mysterious Demon Mountain Range.

From then on, they resided there in peace.

While Mo Fan was young, Mo Yunchui always taught him principles and imparted some of the Mo family’s cultivation techniques to him, making him stronger so he could protect Mo Qinglian and, by extension, himself.

Because Mo Yunchui felt his Dao Pattern injuries were worsening.

Mo Yunchui also strived to recover, yet the dreadfulness of the Dao Pattern injuries were beyond his imagination. Without leveraging the Mo family’s powers, he found it nearly impossible to heal on his own, and could only watch helplessly as his condition deteriorated, his cultivation regressing.

Gradually, Mo Yunchui began to despair, but he was not willing to give in. How could he die here, with his vengeance unachieved?

Thus, he treated Mo Fan as his own grandson, imparting everything to him, making Mo Fan stronger so that he might have a chance to return to the Mo family.

As for Mo Qinglian, he kept her hidden, allowing her to grow up safely.

Unexpectedly, as Mo Fan grew stronger, he became more impulsive.

Or perhaps it was because Mo Yunchui spoke too much, putting too much psychological pressure on Mo Fan, causing him to become distorted and fixated on returning to the Mo family as soon as possible.

Or perhaps...

Mo Fan, upon hearing about the sheer strength of the Mo family and reflecting on his current circumstances, felt it was unfair, hence his desire to return to the East Desolate Mo Family.

At some point, Mo Fan began to covet Mo Yunchui’s Family Head Token, aspiring to seize it.

At first, Mo Fan merely probed and inquired.

Later on, however, Mo Fan became more excessive, even resorting to threats.

Then it progressively escalated to the events of three days ago.

Mo Fan claimed there was a Spiritual Medicine in the Mysterious Demon Mountain Range that could suppress the Dao Pattern injuries, coaxing Mo Yunchui to accompany him to retrieve it.

Although Mo Yunchui was suspicious, the Dao Pattern injuries were becoming more severe, so he took the risk and went with Mo Fan to the depths of the Mysterious Demon Mountain Range.

Mo Yunchui never imagined that Mo Fan had treacherous intentions, attacking him for the sake of the Family Head Token, even planning to kill him!

That was the scene from three days ago.

In that moment, Mo Yunchui gave up on Mo Fan.

He knew some people were doomed to never change.

He had originally held hopes of grooming Mo Fan as the next Family Head.

But Mo Fan’s series of actions had completely disillusioned him.

A dog will never become a wolf.

Even if you feed it like a wolf.

It’s always just a dog.

When Mo Yunchui finished saying all this, Mo Qinglian stood there motionless, her face pale.

It was obvious that Mo Qinglian found it difficult to accept this reality.

As for the Mo Fan outside, he growled repeatedly, "I’ve known all along that you old thing were hiding something. Just as I suspected, I am not your grandson at all!"

Mo Yunchui looked at Mo Fan indifferently and said in a deep voice, "If I didn’t see you as my grandson, you would already be dead."

"Moreover, if I didn’t see you as my grandson, why would I tell you about the matters of the East Desolate Mo Family? Why would I speak to you about my Dao injury?"

"But you, you have disappointed me!"

"So what, you’re going to kill me now?" Mo Fan let out a bitter laugh, his eyes filled with hatred.

"I don’t know if he’ll kill you, but I find you a bit annoying, and you need a beating," Ye Xuan said as he walked out of the house, looking indifferently at Mo Fan.

Three days ago, he had spared Mo Fan out of consideration for the Mo family and had not taken his life.

This time, Mo Fan had again launched a sneak attack on him, intending to kill him.

Although Ye Xuan didn’t usually bother with trifles like an ant, if the ant proved too troublesome, he certainly wouldn’t mind crushing it to death.

"What are you going to do?" Seeing Ye Xuan, Mo Fan instinctively felt somewhat fearful.

Three days before, Ye Xuan’s blows had nearly sent him straight to the afterlife.

To Mo Fan, there was an instinctive fear of Ye Xuan.

Being a man who had killed countless others, his intuition told him that Ye Xuan had killed even more people than he had, a number beyond his imagination!

But Ye Xuan was only a sixteen-year-old boy, and he couldn’t understand why such a terrifying aura emanated from him.

Incomprehensible.

What Mo Fan didn’t know was that Ye Xuan was the Undying Night Emperor.

Through the ages, the countless invincible giants that died at Ye Xuan’s hand were too many to count, let alone the ants he had casually crushed.

There was an ancient saying: to kill one is a sin, to slaughter ten thousand is a mark of power; to butcher nine million ranks one among the mightiest.

Yet Ye Xuan was no longer just among the mightiest; he stood as King among Kings, Emperor among Emperors!

"What am I going to do?" Ye Xuan’s lips curved slightly, and he slowly raised his right hand, his Dao Pattern surging.

Hum————

The next moment, mysterious Dao Patterns abruptly emerged around Mo Fan, as if naturally formed by heaven and earth, locking onto Mo Fan.

The terrifying force seemed as if it would crush Mo Fan to death in an instant!

"Ahh————"

Mo Fan immediately let out a scream of agony, so piercing it thrilled one to the bones.

"Heavenly Dao Patterns..." Seeing this, Mo Yunchui’s pupils revealed a trace of shock.

After regaining his strength, he could tell that although Ye Xuan’s aura was comparable to that of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, he was actually just a Cultivator at the Inscriptions Realm.

Yet, the Heavenly Dao Patterns were not something that Inscriptions Realm could control.

Even Cultivators of Earth Element, Grotto Heaven, or Heavenly Phenomenon Realm might not be able to control them.

But Ye Xuan, at the Inscriptions Realm, had already mastered such power!

What an incredibly terrifying talent!

Even with Mo Yunchui’s broad knowledge, he couldn’t help but be astonished.

However, since Mister Ye was even able to expel the Dao injury, mastering the Heavenly Dao Patterns seemed not to be anything significant.

Thinking this, Mo Yunchui couldn’t help but sigh softly.

Given Mister Ye Xuan’s abilities, it would probably not be long before he stirred up great turmoil in the East Desolate.

At that time, Mo Yunchui hoped he could be of some assistance to Mister Ye.

The favor of expelling the Dao injury was something Mo Yunchui would remember for a lifetime!

Crack, crack, crack————

The next moment, Mo Fan’s body made cracking sounds as his bones were continuously crushed!

"Brother!" Mo Qinglian, seeing this scene, couldn’t help but cry.

However, Mo Yunchui stopped her, his expression cold as he said, "Do not forget, he was ready to kill both you and me."

"But..." Mo Qinglian was about to say something else.

"There’s no ’but’. Soon you will return to the East Desolate Mo Family with Grandfather. Do not forget how our parents died," Mo Yunchui said, a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes.

His second son and daughter-in-law, Mo Qinglian’s parents, died in the Demon Realm trying to save Mo Yunchui.

That scene was something Mo Yunchui would never forget.

Therefore, when he saw Mo Fan screaming in agony, he felt no compassion.

Because in these seventeen years, he had confirmed one thing.

The parents of Mo Fan were traitors!
