The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 339 - 338 Conspiracy

Chapter 339: Chapter 338 Conspiracy

After Ye Xuan asked Mo Songbai about the general location of the Immortal King Hall, he declined Mo Songbai’s offer to accompany him and left Yinling City alone.

This time, Ye Xuan did not bring anyone with him, not even Tian Lu, who he had Zhou Youwei take back.

All alone.

And at the time Ye Xuan left by himself,

two Elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect quietly followed after him.

They had already received accurate information about the deaths of the Heavenly Demon Sect’s disciples, they were killed by Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei!

This infuriated them, but they also knew that the current state of the Emperor Immortal Sect was extremely terrifying and not to be provoked lightly.

If they made a move, it would be breaking the rules, and if an ancestor of the Emperor Immortal Sect took action, they feared they could only suffer the consequences.

If it had been before, they might not have cared about the ancestors of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

But after the battle three months ago, no one dared to underestimate the Emperor Immortal Sect any longer.

After all, even the Sect Leader of the Yunxiao Sect had been slapped to death, which was enough to show that their strength had become very fearsome.

It was precisely because of this that they decided to return to the Heavenly Demon Sect to make further plans.

But what they didn’t expect was that Ye Xuan did not return with Zhou Youwei and the others but left alone.

This provided them with an opportunity.

"Ye Xuan, if you had returned with Zhou Youwei and the others, we really couldn’t do anything to you. Who would’ve thought you’d be seeking your own death..."

The two Heavenly Demon Sect Elders both sneered quietly and followed after him.

They did not rush to make a move but followed him along the way.

They feared Ye Xuan would play tricks and have someone follow in secret.

After all, Ye Xuan had a deep connection with the Mo family.

After following him for thousands of miles and seeing no one else, they took the initiative to reveal themselves.

"Ye Xuan!"

The two men, one in front and one behind, blocked Ye Xuan’s path, and a terrifying aura burst forth, pressing towards him.

"You brat, you killed so many of our Heavenly Demon Sect, and you think you can just leave so easily?" one of the Heavenly Demon Sect Elders said coldly, his eyes emitting a cold and frosty light.

With his hands in his pockets and a calm expression, Ye Xuan spoke slowly, "So... you’ve come to seek death as well?"

"Presumptuous!" The Heavenly Demon Sect Elder scoffed, "Do you really think you are invincible after killing the Yunxiao Sect’s Saint Heir? The Saint Heir was indeed powerful, but only among the younger generation. You’re still far from being able to fight us!"

"Die!"

As the Heavenly Demon Sect Elder spoke, he was already rushing towards Ye Xuan.

The Elder behind him did not utter a word and directly took action.

They both knew that Ye Xuan was very cunning; a delay could lead to changes, and they had to kill this guy at the first opportunity!

Lest they hesitate and have long regrets.

"Two big fools..." Ye Xuan curled his lip slightly, and Emperor Soul stirred subtly.

Boom!

In an instant, the power of Emperor Soul, transformed into a terrorizing force that suppressed everything, and instantly crushed the Divine Souls of the two Heavenly Demon Sect Elders to dust!

Under the suppression of Emperor Soul, no one could withstand it.

The two of them died almost instantly,

without even a struggle.

Boom! Boom!

Their bodies fell straight down into the forest below, crashing to the ground.

Soon enough, they would likely be devoured by the beasts of the forest.

The two Elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect died just like that.

The powerful beings who had been secretly observing Ye Xuan all felt a huge shock in their hearts.

In fact, in addition to the Heavenly Demon Sect, other forces’ powerful individuals were also secretly keeping an eye on Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan’s strength had made many forces feel threatened.

If the people from the Heavenly Demon Sect had killed Ye Xuan, they would not have shown themselves.

If Ye Xuan, in the course of killing the two Elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect, had expended great effort or even nearly fallen, they would have appeared and taken the opportunity to kill Ye Xuan.

But what they never expected was that Ye Xuan did not even lift a finger, and those two were dead already.

"There must be someone following behind Ye Xuan, let’s withdraw."

For a time, the strong individuals from the various great forces all felt a sense of fear.

The death of the Heavenly Demon Sect Elders was simply too strange; they did not even feel the slightest power, and yet the two Elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect were thoroughly dead.

If they continue to pry, who knows if they’ll get a taste of their own medicine.

They certainly can’t handle that.

After killing two Elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect and intimidating the powerful from numerous major forces, Ye Xuan continued on his journey.

While leaving the city, he intentionally made a conspicuous exit, aiming to lure those fellows out.

To kill is to kill thoroughly.

Once you demonstrate enough strength, no one will dare to trouble you again.

This was something Ye Xuan understood better than anyone else.

On the subsequent journey, no one troubled Ye Xuan anymore, and none dared to follow him.

Meanwhile, at Yunxiao Sect.

"The Saint Heir is dead."

When this news came back, the entire Yunxiao Sect was thrown into turmoil.

The death of the Sect Leader had already been a heavy blow, but now the Saint Heir was dead too!

"Didn’t I tell you to keep a close watch on him?! What were you doing?!"

The Great Elder raged like a thunderclap.

The atmosphere in the grand hall was laden with solemnity.

"Ye Xuan’s strength, to think it has reached such a level that even the Saint Heir was no match for him," the Fourth Elder said, his face pale.

"We’ve said it before, not to provoke him, so why does no one listen?!" the Great Elder’s complexion was incredibly grim.

"Great Elder, I think there’s nothing wrong with what the Saint Heir did. After all, they killed our Sect Leader and we didn’t even dare to take revenge. What’s the point of our Yunxiao Sect’s existence?" The Third Elder couldn’t help but speak up.

"Exactly, he’s just an ancestor from the Emperor Immortal Sect. We at the Yunxiao Sect have our own ancestors too, so let’s fight the Emperor Immortal Sect again if need be!"

"Forty thousand years ago, we were able to defeat the mighty Emperor Immortal Sect, and this time we will surely eradicate them completely!"

"That’s right, if such was the case forty thousand years ago, how much more so now?"

Such voices filled the grand hall.

After hearing these words, the Great Elder was almost furious, speaking coldly, "Do you think we won forty thousand years ago by chance? It was because we had the Fierce Battle Sect, Qianyuan Cave Heaven, and the backing of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect!"

"Now, we have neither the Fierce Battle Sect, Qianyuan Cave Heaven, nor the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect!"

"Do you understand?!"

The Great Elder said gravely, his expression extremely ugly.

His words immediately silenced the voices in the grand hall.

"The Emperor Immortal Sect, isn’t it just Zhou Chaolong? Why be afraid? Elder Brother, you’re right; we may no longer have the Fierce Battle Sect, Qianyuan Cave Heaven, nor the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, but our own strength has become very formidable!" the Third Elder couldn’t help but say.

The crowd also looked expectantly at the Great Elder.

The Great Elder’s face was dark, and he spoke slowly, "Do you think I don’t want to? But Lord Ning of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect said not to provoke the Emperor Immortal Sect, which is an order directly from the Sect Leader Supreme of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect!"

"An order directly from the Sect Leader Supreme of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect?"

Everyone sharply inhaled a breath of cold air.

This time, everyone suppressed the displeasure in their hearts.

The Sect Leader Supreme of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect was a figure whose level they all knew very well.

"Does this mean we just sit here doing nothing?" Some Elders were still very unwilling.

"Of course not," the Great Elder said coldly. "In addition to our Yunxiao Sect, the Heavenly Demon Sect also suffered heavy losses. With their way of doing things, they’ll surely act like madmen."

"Are you suggesting we let the Heavenly Demon Sect deal with the Emperor Immortal Sect?" The crowd frowned surreptitiously.

The Great Elder shook his head, "The Luotian Sacred Land can’t do anything about the Emperor Immortal Sect; the Heavenly Demon Sect alone cannot succeed. But don’t forget, that Ye Xuan, he comes from a small family in Wan’an City of Yun Country..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone realized the implication.

So, the intent was to use the Heavenly Demon Sect against Ye Xuan’s family!

Ye Xuan’s background was, in fact, not a secret.

A small nation, not even an Upper Country, Yun Country.

Ye Xuan was indeed from the Ye Family in Wan’an City, among the 320 cities of Yun Country.

In Wan’an City, the Ye Family was also considered a not insignificant family.

However, a family of such level, in the eyes of the Yunxiao Sect, was but a speck of dust.

To have the Heavenly Demon Sect take care of them would naturally be effortless.

"It’s just that I don’t know if the Heavenly Demon Sect dares to do it, after all, Ye Xuan has a deep relationship with the Mo family..." the Third Elder muttered.

"Other sects might not dare, but the Heavenly Demon Sect, that’s less certain." The Great Elder said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

"As for us, let’s wait for the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect to make a move. After all, in just over two years, they will come to suppress the Emperor Immortal Sect again..."
