The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 324 - 323: Struggle

Chapter 324: Chapter 323: Struggle

"Emperor Ye, I will not disturb you any further, I will go back and lie down."

The Great Tomb Master said cautiously.

"Go ahead," Ye Xuan said calmly.

Relieved of a heavy burden, the Great Tomb Master without another word immediately burrowed back into his grave.

In the blink of an eye, the wilderness grave returned to its previous state.

At the moment the Great Tomb Master disappeared, Ye Xuan’s eyes suddenly turned cold.

"You disturbed my people and thought you could continue to sleep in this Heavenly Abyss Grave?"

Ye Xuan muttered, holding the Soul Box, and began circling around the wilderness grave.

After circling it three times, Ye Xuan slapped the Soul Box, emitting a terrifying scream!

That scream, utterly horrifying, made one’s scalp tingle.

The Great Tomb Master, already lying in the wilderness grave, suddenly exploded into a cloud of black mist, and his two red glowing eyes shattered in that instant.

"Emperor!"

"You played dirty!"

At the brink of extinction, the Great Tomb Master let out a resentful roar of unwillingness.

After learning that it was Ye Xuan who sought revenge, he willingly gave up the skull of Zhao Shenyang and Divine Sun Sword, not daring to take any of Ye Xuan’s treasures.

Yet, he hadn’t been able to escape Ye Xuan’s suppression.

This was why he harbored deep resentment.

But it was of no use.

It was his fault for killing that man named Zhao Shenyang.

Initially, Zhao Shenyang approached him for a deal, but he killed Zhao Shenyang instead, suppressing him continuously and absorbing his deathly fates.

He had never expected that the seemingly weak Zhao Shenyang was related to the Undying Night Emperor.

If he had known earlier, he would not have agreed to that deal in the first place.

But it was all too late now.

By killing Zhao Shenyang, he had destined his own end.

Even the Great Tomb Master would have suffered had he crossed paths with the Undying Night Emperor.

The Great Tomb Master could only die with hate in his heart.

"Played dirty?"

Ye Xuan looked at the dissipating wilderness grave with an indifferent expression: "Isn’t that the best trick you Great Tomb Masters have?"

The Great Tomb Masters, always known for cheating, talking about this now was simply ridiculous.

From the beginning, Ye Xuan had not intended to truly deal with this Great Tomb Master.

If Zhao Shenyang’s remains were intact, he might have spared him, but only the skull of Zhao Shenyang remained, which aroused a killing intention in Ye Xuan’s heart.

This was why that Great Tomb Master had been killed.

"Zhao Shenyang, Zhao Shenyang, why did you come to this Heavenly Abyss Grave in the first place?"

After killing the Great Tomb Master, Ye Xuan held Zhao Shenyang’s skull in his hand, shaking his head and sighing softly.

"It’s a good thing I was here; otherwise, you really would have been gone," Ye Xuan muttered, placing Zhao Shenyang’s skull aside, and then started digging a new grave at the spot where the wilderness grave had disappeared, placing the skull inside, while muttering some ancient spells.

After finishing the spells, Ye Xuan covered the soil and piled up a new mound.

Ye Xuan waved his right hand, and a large tree not far from there broke off violently, then quickly was smoothed into a tombstone.

Ye Xuan personally inserted it in front of the new grave, inscribing the three characters Zhao Shenyang.

After finishing all this, Ye Xuan stood up, whispering, "In the future, I hope another dedicated Tomb Master will appear in this Heavenly Abyss Grave..."

"Look, it’s that Divine Sword."

At this moment, an anomaly occurred.

One Southern Domain prodigy after another came flying, contending for the Divine Sun Sword.

Ye Xuan and Tian Lu stood under a tree, looking up. Seeing so many people coming, they said nothing and did not rush to act.

"This Divine Sword was mine to begin with!" one prodigy from a major force shouted, his eyes turning red.

"Nonsense, I saw it way before you did!"

"Heavenly treasures find their rightful owner, my Xuanyuan Sacred Land has a great fate with this Divine Sword!" Xuanyuan Sacred Land Saint led Tian Jindou and charged forward.

"Cloud Divine Sect must also contend!" Yun Chen’s voice also rang out.

Hua Qiuchen and others also flew in.

A fierce battle was inevitable.

In their crazed struggle, True Qi burst forth en masse, Daoist Techniques unleashed in unison.

Loud rumbles, screams of pain, and sounds of combat continuously came from above the Sky Dome.

Facing the Divine Sun Sword, their eyes all turned red.

The treasure was truly dazzling. They could all see at a glance, it was no ordinary item, even more astonishing than Sacred Dao Mystics Weapons!

"Kill!"

The chants of killing shook the heavens and the earth.

More than four hundred prodigies, all crazily striking, unwilling to yield.

In just a moment, over a hundred were injured, yet still, none were willing to back down.

But no one could approach the Divine Sun Sword.

"These people are so boring..." Tian Lu couldn’t help but mutter.

"It’s not boredom, but a struggle for the great trend of heaven and earth," Ye Xuan said with a slight smile.

"Fight back and forth, won’t it end up in your hands anyway?" Tian Lu’s child-like voice rang out.

"They don’t know that," Ye Xuan said patiently.

Tian Lu nodded as if he half-understood.

A cultivator’s life can never escape the word ’struggle’.

No one can escape from it.

Ye Xuan, who had lived through countless eons, understood this better than anyone.

Ye Xuan knew too that some things are eternally elusive.

But if one never seeks, how will they know if they can obtain it or not?

Like those proud talents from the Southern Domain, surely everyone thinks it’s an opportunity, they fight desperately to obtain that Divine Sun Sword.

Who among them knows that the Divine Sun Sword is unobtainable?

"This divine sword, is mine!" The Saint Heir of Xuanyuan had cut through a bloody path, finally closing in on the Divine Sun Sword.

Boom!

But at that moment, Hua Qiuchen felt it and, with a grin, said, "This divine sword is Canghai Sect’s!"

"Hua Qiuchen!" The Saint Heir’s expression suddenly darkened.

"The Heavenly Cloud Divine Sect must obtain this item!"

Yun Chen and Yun Tong also descended.

Both erupted with the Heavenly Cloud Divine Body, causing an astonishing anomaly.

Two divine bodies, both identical and both having reached the Miao Xuan Stage, dreadfully powerful!

Boom!

However, as they spoke, a Holy Light broke through the sky, heading straight for the Divine Sun Sword.

"Hmm?!"

Everyone’s eyes were fixed, and they reacted instantaneously.

"Damn it!" Di Feng cursed softly, only to give up and retreat.

"People from Luotian Sacred Land, why do they always act like this?" Hua Qiuchen glanced at Di Feng disdainfully and spoke coldly.

Hua Qiuchen, Yun Chen, Yun Tong, Di Feng, Saint Heir.

These five could be said to be among the strongest who had entered the Ghost Tomb Forbidden Land.

The other top forces’ talents either did not enter, or had been taken by King Yan.

Now, these five are definitely the strongest.

To snatch the Divine Sun Sword from their hands is nothing but a dream!

"It seems like we have no hope!"

The fighting gradually ceased, and although many were reluctant, they could only withdraw from the contest.

Their True Qi had been nearly exhausted, while those five had still preserved their strength very well. If they continued to participate in the struggle, they would undoubtedly die.

So, they could only choose to step aside.

"Looks like the Heavenly Cloud Divine Sect will take it, with that sibling pair teaming up, plus having Hua Qiuchen, Di Feng, and the Saint Heir have no choice but to step aside."

Someone silently analyzed the situation.

Most people thought this way.

The ownership of the Divine Sun Sword, either belongs to the Heavenly Cloud Divine Sect or the Canghai Sect, depending on how they would share it later.

"Hua Qiuchen, are you going to continue to team up with them?" Di Feng looked at Hua Qiuchen and spoke slowly, "If you team up with them, the Saint Heir and I directly won’t participate, you guys continue to fight amongst yourselves."

Hearing this, Hua Qiuchen immediately hesitated.

If Luotian Sacred Land and Xuanyuan Sacred Land do not participate, then he can only hand over the Divine Sun Sword to Yun Chen.

Although he and Yun Chen seemed to get along on the surface, there was a significant rivalry between them in secret.

He naturally did not want to see the divine sword fall into Yun Chen’s hands.

With that in mind, Hua Qiuchen narrowed his eyes and said, "In the struggle for chance, it naturally depends on individual ability."

"Hua Qiuchen!" Yun Chen’s face suddenly darkened.

"Hahaha, Hua Qiuchen speaks the truth," the Saint Heir laughed out loud.

Yun Chen and Yun Tong’s faces looked a bit unpleasant.

"If so, then let each fight on their own!" Yun Chen said coldly.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense again.

"Hey, hey, hey."

At this moment, Ye Xuan could no longer watch, unable to restrain himself from speaking out, "Stop fighting, this sword is mine."

"Hmm?!"

"Ye Xuan?!"

It was only then that everyone noticed Ye Xuan sitting under a tree off in the distance.

Instantly, everyone’s expressions turned intriguing.

"In the struggle for chance, there’s also a matter of first come, first served. You coming now and claiming this divine sword is yours is simply ridiculous!" Already in a sour mood, Yun Chen couldn’t help but retort upon seeing Ye Xuan emerge.
