The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 314 - 313: Opening of the Ghost Tomb

Chapter 314: Chapter 313: Opening of the Ghost Tomb

"If you won’t make a move, then I will personally avenge my father!" The Holy Son of Yunxiao clenched his teeth, his eyes blood-red.

The Sect Leader of Yunxiao Sect was none other than his father.

And the Holy Son of Yunxiao was the leader of the young generation within the sect.

Gao Junyang and Xu Tianbo were among those who had been defeated by him.

Some believed that if the Yunxiao Sect were to head to the Southern Ghost Tomb, with the Yunxiao Holy Son leading, the young generation from other forces would have nothing to do but bow down.

This shows the prestige and strength of the Yunxiao Holy Son among the younger generation of the Southern Domain.

That was precisely why Xu Tianbo had been dispatched by the Yunxiao Sect.

"Ye Xuan, is it? Three months from now, once the Ghost Tomb closes, I will surely kill you!"

The Yunxiao Holy Son swore with blood.

Of course, Ye Xuan was unaware of this.

Even if he knew, Ye Xuan wouldn’t care.

At this moment.

Above the Yinling Mountain Range in the Southern Domain, an anomaly shook the heavens.

It was a giant dark gate reaching up to the Nine Heavens and down to the Netherworld, slowly emerging.

A chilling coldness surged from that dark gate, causing one’s soul to shudder with cold.

"The Ghost Tomb has opened!"

Seeing the appearance of the dark gate, numerous cultivators were ecstatic.

This was the reason they had come to the Yinling Mountain Range.

Now that the Ghost Tomb had finally opened, their excitement was beyond measure.

"Is that the Ghost Tomb?!"

The disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect were ashen-faced, their eyes filled with astonishment.

That was terrifying!

The sheer size of the dark gate was beyond their imagination.

"Once the Ghost Tomb Gate opens, one must enter within an hour, otherwise, they won’t be able to get in," Mu Baicheng explained to everyone. "After entering the Ghost Tomb, one has to stay inside for three months before they can come out."

"I will wait for you in Yinling City. Come back safely after three months, understand?"

"Yes, Supreme Elder!"

The crowd responded with excitement.

"Ye Xuan, Youwei, I leave them in your hands," Mu Baicheng said to Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei at the front of the group.

"Don’t worry, Grandpa Mu," Zhou Youwei said softly.

Ye Xuan just nodded slightly, not saying much.

"Ghost Tomb, here I come!"

At this moment, countless cultivators, unable to contain their excitement, rushed into the dark gate.

"Ye Xuan, I’ll go on ahead!" The Holy Son of Lingxu said his goodbyes to Ye Xuan before leaving.

After witnessing Ye Xuan’s strength, the Holy Son of Lingxu had no objections whatsoever; all he had was respect.

A strong person, no matter where they go, will be respected.

Ye Xuan’s defeat of Xu Tianbo and Gao Junyang had won recognition from everyone.

The Holy Son of Lingxu, the Holy Son of Xuanmo, and the Holy Daughter of Yanxia, together with the people from the three great forces, all entered the Ghost Tomb Gate.

In the blink of an eye, tens of millions of cultivators surged towards the Ghost Tomb, creating an awe-inspiring sight.

Watching this scene, it was as if countless beings were entering into the maw of darkness, ready to be consumed.

Ye Xuan shook his head, discarding the macabre thoughts from his mind, and said, "Let’s go."

Leading everyone straight to the Ghost Tomb Gate.

Soon, nearly ninety percent of the cultivators had entered.

As for the older generation’s strong individuals who had led the way, none had entered.

This was an unwritten rule accepted by the entire Southern Domain.

The Ghost Tomb was an excellent place for the younger generation to seek opportunities and experience. If the older generation entered, it would be considered breaking the rules.

Doing so would surely result in a concerted attack by the numerous forces of the Southern Domain.

If it ever came to that, surviving in the Southern Domain would be out of the question.

Boom!

Under the leadership of Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei, the people from the Emperor Immortal Sect passed through the Ghost Tomb Gate and entered the Ghost Tomb.

Upon stepping into the Ghost Tomb, they were immediately greeted by a bone-chilling cold that made their skin crawl.

"This place is really eerie..." Zhu Xiaofei couldn’t help but mutter.

The surroundings were pitch black; fortunately, the many cultivators who entered the Ghost Tomb lit up the place, either by sky-controlling flight or sword flight, using their treasures or Daoist techniques, providing enough light to see.

"Big brother, is this Ghost Tomb like the Golden Pond, belonging to another world?" Tan Qingshan, who was following behind Ye Xuan, couldn’t help but ask as he looked around.

Everyone pricked up their ears.

"It belongs, yet it doesn’t," Ye Xuan said. "The world inside the Ghost Tomb seems to be another world, but it exists dependent on the Yinling Mountain Range."

"If the Yinling Mountain Range were to vanish, the Ghost Tomb would naturally cease to exist as well."

Everyone suddenly understood.

"Didn’t the Supreme Elder say that there are many ghosts here in the Ghost Tomb? Why haven’t we seen any?" Zhu Xiaofei said softly, as if afraid of alerting some presence.

"This is just the entrance to the Ghost Tomb."

A cultivator beside them said with a laugh.

Swish, swish, swish----

Young cultivators of the Southern Domain were all moving rapidly, seemingly eager to step into the Ghost Tomb even faster.

"This is just the entrance?" Zhu Xiaofei was astonished.

"Of course," Ye Xuan said, with his hands in his pockets and a calm expression.

When he had entered the Dark Gate, he had already used his Divine Sense to scout around.

Behind the Ghost Tomb Gate, there was a long path that would take about an hour to traverse before entering the real Ghost Tomb.

Ye Xuan had utilized the power of his Emperor Soul to take a look inside the Ghost Tomb.

Indeed, there were many ’ghosts’ within the tomb.

However, these ghosts posed no threat to him.

He was searching for traces of the Divine Sun Sword.

But he found none.

"It seems that when the time comes, Tian Lu will have to take action," Ye Xuan thought to himself.

After an hour, many cultivators had entered the real Ghost Tomb.

There was no substantial boundary between this entrance and the actual Ghost Tomb.

Probably the only thing one could say was that inside the Ghost Tomb, there were many graves.

Graves were everywhere.

Some were big and some were small.

But most of the graves were ordinary, with no power fluctuations within them.

In other words, whatever was inside had already been taken by those who came before, leaving nothing behind.

Once inside the Ghost Tomb, there was an endless sea of graves.

Many cultivators scattered in all directions, some searching for new opportunities based on marks they had left previously, while others relied on instinct, locking onto a certain direction, and began to move forward.

Only Ye Xuan and his companions, entering the Ghost Tomb for the first time, seemed lost for direction.

"Which way should we go?" Zhu Xiaofei asked.

Everyone looked toward Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan wasn’t in a hurry but simply flipped his right hand over.

Hum----

A flash of golden light appeared, and to the astonishment of the onlookers, Ye Xuan’s hand suddenly produced a small Pixiu.

"Eh!?"

Everyone wore an astonished look.

"Isn’t this the Holy Beast that appeared when the Golden Pond was opened?!" Zhu Xiaofei suddenly brightened, exclaiming in shock.

Everyone was puzzled as to why Ye Xuan had such a Holy Beast with him.

Without the intention to explain, Ye Xuan lightly tossed the Tian Lu and said, "Just follow it."

Boom!

The Tian Lu landed, instantly enlarged, and regained its previous form, beginning to run on the ground.

Seeing this, everyone quickly followed suit.

"Brother-in-law, can it search for treasure?" Zhou Bingyi asked in surprise and doubt.

"Of course," Ye Xuan said with a slight smile.

Before long, following Tian Lu, they passed a large cluster of graves and arrived at a low-lying grave mound.

Tian Lu stopped there, looked toward Ye Xuan, and said, "There’s a treasure inside here."

"Eh? It can speak!?" Everyone was again taken aback.

Boom!

However, before the crowd’s astonishment could fade, a sudden vibration emanated from the low mound.

Then, under the horrified gaze of the onlookers, a huge figure levitated out!

The massive figure was half-translucent, resembling a fierce Demon Beast!

With the emergence of this figure, it immediately caused great fear among everyone present.

"This is..."

"A ghost!?"

Many from the Emperor Immortal Sect were startled.

Zhou Youwei concentrated her gaze, her beautiful eyes reflecting a grave look.

The aura emitted by this figure was frightening!

Extremely terrifying!

Far beyond the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm!

"Retreat!"

Recalling the words of Mu Baicheng, Zhou Youwei swiftly gave the order.

"Don’t panic," a calm voice suddenly interjected.

"Ye Xuan, isn’t it ’encounter a ghost, then avoid’?" Zhou Youwei looked at Ye Xuan, confused.

"With me here, it’s the ghosts that should retreat, not us," Ye Xuan responded cheerfully, not a bit afraid.
