The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 386 - 385: Adding Fuel to the Fire

Chapter 386: Chapter 385: Adding Fuel to the Fire

"This child should be considered a monster, not a human!"

In the Yunxiao Sect, a group of Elders gathered, even the Supreme Elder was present, creating an incredibly somber atmosphere.

The destruction of the Heavenly Demon Sect had greatly shocked them.

It must be said that the Heavenly Demon Sect had sought trouble with Ye Xuan, and they too had a hand in it.

However, they hadn’t anticipated that Ye Xuan would be so overwhelmingly powerful, straightforwardly annihilating the Heavenly Demon Sect without pretense.

But they were very clear that Ye Xuan’s extermination of the Heavenly Demon Sect, apart from avenging the wrongs against his family, was also meant to serve as a warning to others.

As for which "tiger" was being warned, it was obvious.

The Yunxiao Sect was absolutely that biggest tiger.

After all, within the entire Southern Domain, they had the deepest conflict with the Emperor Immortal Sect.

"Ye Xuan, Zhou Chaolong, and Zhou Youwei, plus the addition of three mysterious powerhouses to the Emperor Immortal Sect recently, how will this be good..."

At this moment, the Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect felt like his hair was about to fall out from anxiety.

"The Emperor Immortal Sect is really about to rise..." the other Elders said with reluctance.

"This matter, we need to contact the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect," a Supreme Elder said slowly while seated in the void, releasing a terrifying aura of blood qi.

"It’s no use," the Great Elder shook his head with a worried look. "The Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect will not intervene in this matter; they already made that clear last time."

"If we confront the Emperor Immortal Sect, the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect will not provide any help."

"We can only rely on ourselves..."

With these words, the grand hall fell into a gloomy silence.

To think that they, one of the top overlords of the Southern Domain, were being troubled by a single Ye Xuan was truly hard to accept.

A moment later.

"Isn’t Wu Nantian’s brother, Wu Yutian, also in the Heavenly Demon Sect? Did he die?" the Great Elder suddenly remembered something and asked, looking up.

The Elders looked at each other, and eventually, an Elder in charge of intelligence replied, "The disciple who went to investigate said that they didn’t find Wu Nantian’s body, and there was no trace of Wu Yutian either."

The Great Elder’s eyebrows raised slightly, and he said slowly, "It seems that Wu Yutian has fled with Wu Nantian."

"If that’s the case, then we needn’t panic too much."

"That Wu Yutian is a True Disciple of the Fierce Battle Sect, very strong in his own right and not lacking standing within his sect. Perhaps we could use this to reestablish a connection with the Fierce Battle Sect."

"Prepare immediately, I will make a trip to the Fierce Battle Sect," he ordered on the spot.

As soon as he gave this order, the people of the Yunxiao Sect were all astonished.

It seemed, indeed, a feasible plan!

...

Speaking of Wu Yutian,

two days ago, he had narrowly escaped from the Heavenly Demon Sect, bringing along his brother Wu Nantian’s body.

Upon his return to the Fierce Battle Sect, Wu Yutian immediately sought his master’s help to treat his brother.

But he was told that his brother’s soul had perished, past saving.

This news filled Wu Yutian with immense sorrow and a surge of hatred arose in his heart.

However,

the terror of Ye Xuan had made him realize that even he could absolutely do nothing against Ye Xuan!

Thus, Wu Yutian made up his mind to spread the news about Ye Xuan.

"In the Southern Domain’s Emperor Immortal Sect, a genius named Ye Xuan exists who single-handedly destroyed an entire sect."

This news not only spread within the Fierce Battle Sect but also, with Wu Yutian’s intentional manipulation, spread throughout the East Desolation Domain.

Wu Yutian knew that in the East Desolation Domain, there was no shortage of geniuses.

However, those with significant renown were not as numerous as one might imagine.

If a new genius emerged, then it would surely attract the attention of those geniuses who would then act in hopes of making a name for themselves.

Wu Yutian, naturally, wanted to draw this disaster elsewhere.

He was not yet bold enough to trouble Ye Xuan himself, but that did not stop him from inciting others to do so!

If it had only been about an individual destroying a sect, many would not believe it.

But preceded by mention of the Emperor Immortal Sect, it was bound to attract great attention.

No other reason,

because the Emperor Immortal Sect was once the true overlord of the East Desolate.

Even the Immortal King Hall, the Sun Swallowing Sect, and the East Desolate Mo Family, these powerful entities, had to make way.

Although the Emperor Immortal Sect had declined for 90,000 years, because of that great battle 40,000 years ago, the Emperor Immortal Sect still retained quite a reputation.

As for whether that reputation was good or bad, that remained a matter of debate.

Overall, adding the Emperor Immortal Sect naturally attracted quite a bit of attention.

Thus, with Wu Yutian’s fanning of the flames, the name Ye Xuan stirred quite a shock in the East Desolate too.

In the East Desolation Domain, there existed many powerful sacred lands and ancient families.

Apart from the colossal East Desolate Mo Family, there were other ancient families.

The Ye Family was among them.

As one of the ancient families of the East Desolate, the Ye Family had a vast system, with tens of thousands of collateral family members.

A vast family brought with it immense competition.

Especially among ancient families in the Cultivation World, the competition could be said to be extremely brutal.

And this brutal competition among the collateral family members was notably intense. To climb to the top, one generally had to step over the heads of their own kin.

Ye Xuan’s grandfather, Ye Hongli, was one of the many collateral family members of the Ye Family.

Ye Hongli, who had always disliked that atmosphere, left the Ye Family after growing up and struck out on his own in the jianghu, eventually settling down in Wan’an City. This became his home, where he established the Wan’an City Ye Family.

He never returned to the Ye Family afterwards.

"Emperor Immortal Sect’s Ye Xuan..."

"This seems to be that idiot grandson of your brother, right?"

Ye Lingfeng toyed with the teacup in his hand, saying with interest.

Beneath Ye Lingfeng was a burly old man with white hair and a restrained aura, quite extraordinary.

If you looked closely, you would notice that this burly old man bore resemblance to Ye Hongli.

At that moment, after hearing Ye Lingfeng’s words, the old man respectfully said, "Replying to Young Master, my brother rebelled and was expelled from the Ye Family long ago; he no longer counts as one of the Ye Family."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng’s smile suddenly disappeared, and he said coldly, "Ye Hongyi, years ago when my father wanted your nephew, Ye Mingtian, to work for him, you said the same thing. You even let that guy take away that girl of terrifying origin."

"This matter isn’t over yet."

"Since this time a Ye Xuan has suddenly appeared, and that Ye Xuan just happens to be Ye Mingtian’s son, let him fill Ye Mingtian’s place."

"You’d better go inform your brother first."

"Once I’m done with this busy period, I will personally make a trip to the Southern Domain..."

As he spoke, Ye Lingfeng’s figure gradually faded and disappeared.

Moments later, within the vast solemn hall, only the burly white-haired old man remained.

This old man was Ye Hongyi, the actual brother of Ye Hongli.

Watching the disappearing Ye Lingfeng, a helpless expression surfaced in Ye Hongyi’s murky eyes.

"Little brother, this time it’s a bit difficult for me..." Ye Hongyi said softly.

In ancient families, every collateral family, at certain intervals, must provide a person of talent for the main family.

The more talented the better.

The reason why Ye Hongli could leave the Ye Family peacefully without being troubled was that Ye Hongyi joined the main family.

Now, Ye Hongyi served directly under the main family’s young master, Ye Lingfeng.

Because of this, Ye Hongyi’s status had risen significantly.

Only after an incident occurred, Ye Hongyi’s status had greatly diminished and could even be said to be precarious.

And at this moment, news from the Southern Domain suddenly arrived; unexpectedly, it was about Ye Mingtian’s son, Ye Xuan.

This was something Ye Hongyi had never expected.

With Ye Lingfeng’s orders in place, Ye Hongyi could only comply, and after making preparations, he set off for the Southern Domain.

At this very moment, Ye Xuan, the source of all events, had already returned to the Wan’an City Ye Family.

Upon returning to the Ye Family, the first thing Ye Xuan did was to set up arrays for the Ye Family.

The affairs of the Heavenly Demon Sect had alerted Ye Xuan to the dangers looming over the Ye Family, necessitating precautions.

He was not afraid of open enemies, but he feared those who played hidden tricks the most.

The saying that open spears are easy to dodge but secret arrows are difficult to guard against explains this principle.

While setting up the arrays, Ye Xuan didn’t forget to help enhance the strength of his family members.

In the Cultivation World, everything is founded on strength.
