The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 362 - 361: The Return of the Strong?

Chapter 362: Chapter 361: The Return of the Strong?

The next morning dawned.

Wan’an City was abuzz with activity.

The extermination of the Fierce Tiger Sect had spread, and the entire Wan’an City was abuzz.

But there was another big event.

The genius Jin Qing from Heavenly Sword Mountain had returned to the City Lord Mansion!

This genius was the number one talent in Wan’an City, only twenty-five years old, and had been a disciple at Heavenly Sword Mountain for ten years, now a True Disciple of the Heavenly Sword Mountain.

At the age of fifteen, he had opened his Divine Gate, which was the Seventh Rank Spirit of the Void Divine Realm—the Green Cloud Sword.

Such a Spirit of the Void Divine Realm was absolutely a genius of a demonic level.

It was also at that time that the Mountain Master of Heavenly Sword Mountain took him on as a disciple.

To open the Divine Gate at fifteen, such talent, even in the entire Southern Domain, would be considered a small genius, and within the small Yun Country, naturally, it was an exceptionally dazzling presence.

Today, this exceptionally dazzling prodigy returned to Wan’an City.

Compared to the calmness of Ye Xuan’s return to the Ye Family, Jin Qing’s return to Wan’an City was absolutely a top-tier major event that led to a sky filled with the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers resonating together.

Both the Xie Family and the City Lord Mansion sent people to welcome him.

No.

It was the City Lord Jin Feilong and the Family Head of the Xie Family, Xie Yunzhen, who came in person!

Jin Rourou and Xie Yingjiang were also present.

"Haha, once my brother comes back, I can avenge my broken arm!" Xie Yingjiang said excitedly.

"Look at you," Jin Rourou couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Xie Yingjiang.

However, Jin Rourou was clearly very excited, eagerly looking forward.

The most excited were without a doubt Jin Feilong and Xie Yunzhen.

Both had a restless night, fearing the junior Sword Dao master might act against them.

Having not slept all night, upon hearing the news of Jin Qing’s return to the city, they arranged everything at first light and set out in person.

"Speaking of which, it’s been several years since I’ve seen Qing’er," Jin Feilong said with some emotion.

Ever since Jin Qing joined Heavenly Sword Mountain, he rarely returned home, and it had been years since Jin Feilong had seen him.

"Once Jin Qing comes back, we will have no fear of that junior Sword Dao master," Xie Yunzhen also said.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

As the two conversed, a series of sounds tore through the air.

Following that, to the astonishment of many citizens of Wan’an City, eleven figures arrived on flying swords, floating down like immortals, landing on the ground.

The one leading them was Jin Qing.

Jin Qing, in green attire, was full of vigor, his eyes divine, possessing a powerful aura that made it difficult for anyone to approach within ten meters.

Following Jin Qing, there were another ten people.

Those ten, all dressed in green, bearing the emblem of Heavenly Sword Mountain, had either proud or indifferent expressions, clearly not considering the small Wan’an City worth their attention.

Their very movements, following Jin Qing, slowly progressed down the widest street of Wan’an City, Wan’an Street.

Their presence caused the spectators on both sides to gasp in admiration.

"Truly worthy of being experts from Heavenly Sword Mountain, such an aura, simply astounding to us."

"Yes, they’re all handsome young people with such strength, no wonder they can train at Heavenly Sword Mountain!"

"I heard that Jin Qing has returned this time to help the City Lord Mansion and the Xie Family suppress the murderer who annihilated the Fierce Tiger Sect yesterday!"

"I’ve heard too, that murderer is truly terrifying, having swept away the Fierce Tiger Sect entirely, which was one of the four major forces in our Wan’an City."

"What four major forces, now that Jin Qing has returned, in the future Wan’an City will only have two major forces!"

"Right, from now on, the Ye Family may no longer have a foothold in Wan’an City."

"......"

Jin Qing naturally heard these murmurs and chuckled to himself: Ye Family?

Since joining Heavenly Sword Mountain, naturally, his horizons had broadened, not to mention a Ye Family—even the entire Wan’an City was nothing much in his eyes.

If not for his family being here, he couldn’t be bothered to step foot in this place,

to dirty his shoes...

"Qing’er!" Jin Feilong and the others all went up to meet him.

"Father." Compared to Jin Feilong’s enthusiasm, Jin Qing was somewhat indifferent.

"Let’s go back to the mansion first."

......

Compared to the lively North City, the South City seemed to grow ever more silent.

Whether it was due to autumn’s arrival or something else, there was a chill in the air that seemed to carry an ominous autumn wind.

Especially within the Ye Family.

"The Fierce Tiger Sect has been destroyed, Jin Qing has returned, our Ye Family is probably unable to hold on..." said a Tributor of the Ye Family.

The people of the Ye Family all had solemn expressions, with a hint of gloom flickering in their eyes.

Yesterday, they received the news that the Fierce Tiger Sect had been destroyed and were overjoyed.

However, today they learned that the City Lord Mansion’s young master, Jin Qing, had returned from Heavenly Sword Mountain.

It should be known that this young master from the City Lord Mansion is a True Disciple of Heavenly Sword Mountain.

Such a figure, to them, was like a legendary existence, who could make them all bow down with just a stomp of his foot.

One could even say,

Just one word from Jin Qing could lead to the Ye Family’s destruction.

This outcome is definitely not what the Ye Family wanted to see.

"Hongli, big brother, how do you plan to handle this matter?" another Tributor said.

Everyone’s gaze converged on Ye Hongli.

Originally, seeing Ye Xuan recover yesterday, the old master Ye Hongli seemed to have become younger by several years, but with today’s pressure, the elderly man had aged considerably again.

Feeling everyone’s gaze, Ye Hongli’s eyes flashed with a touch of murderous intent: "This matter was originally instigated by the City Lord Mansion and the Xie Family. Moreover, the destruction of the Fierce Tiger Sect is unrelated to us. If they insist on pressing down on our Ye Family, then we will just have a direct battle!"

"What?!"

Hearing the old master’s words, the three Tributors of the Ye Family all changed their expressions.

The strength of the City Lord Mansion and the Xie Family was already above that of the Ye Family.

Now that Jin Qing had returned, their strength would definitely be enhanced. Opting to wage war against the City Lord Mansion and the Xie Family under these circumstances was completely suicidal!

"Hongli, old brother, let’s be more cautious with this matter," a gray-robed elderly man of similar age to Ye Hongli said softly with a sigh.

This person was Zhu Yuanshan, a good brother of Ye Hongli during their youth, with whom he had shared life-and-death experiences.

"Yes, Hongli, old brother!" The other two Tributors also advised.

However, Ye Mingyang and Ye Minghai, the two brothers, did not speak.

Indeed, they were very clear that the current state of the Ye Family was on the brink of collapse, with no chance of winning at all.

As of yesterday, they had no chance of winning.

And now, there was no chance to speak of at all.

Therefore, no matter what decision the old master made, they were prepared to follow him voluntarily.

"Young master Hao and Miss Yuxuan have returned!"

Just then, someone outside came to report.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions lifted.

"It seems they have finally made it in time," Ye Mingyang said, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Mingyang, didn’t I tell you not to call them back!?" the old master then asked Ye Mingyang.

Hearing this, Ye Mingyang sighed, "Father, if they don’t come back, then our Ye Family really has no chance at all."

"Foolishness!" Ye Hongli sighed heavily.

Ye Hao and Ye Yuxuan, the children of Ye Mingyang, were also exceptional individuals, both disciples of the Mountain and Sea Sect.

But compared to Jin Qing, both were quite lacking.

Bringing them back now would only put them in a difficult situation.

This was also why Ye Hongli had consistently told Ye Mingyang not to inform Ye Hao and Ye Yuxuan.

But unexpectedly, Ye Mingyang had secretly notified Ye Hao and Ye Yuxuan, and now they had already rushed back!

"Father, don’t blame big brother. After all, there was no other way," Ye Minghai said softly: "Besides, with their return, our whole family can be reunited."

At these words, Ye Hongli sighed deeply and said no more.

Indeed, today’s events were a dead end for the Ye Family.

Right now, there was no other way.

Shortly after, a young man and woman entered the hall.

"Grandfather, father, second uncle, three Tributors." This young man and woman were none other than Ye Hao and Ye Yuxuan.

The others just nodded without saying much, as the atmosphere became even more oppressive.

"Don’t worry, the Ye Family will definitely get through this hardship. When the time comes, I will have a word with Jin Qing," Ye Hao said upon seeing that the atmosphere was so somber.

"Is that possible?" everyone looked towards Ye Hao.

Ye Hao said with less confidence, "Although he is a True Disciple of Heavenly Sword Mountain, at the very least, I am also an Inner Sect Disciple of the Mountain and Sea Sect. He shouldn’t stir up conflict over this, right..."

Ye Yuxuan sighed quietly to herself beside him.

"By the way, didn’t you say that brother Xuan has come back, why don’t I see him?" Ye Yuxuan suddenly said.
