The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 480 - 479: Deterrence

Chapter 480: Chapter 479: Deterrence

Jiang Yin, Yun Chen, Yun Tong, along with many disciples from the Jiang Family and Heavens Cloud Divine Sect.

All of these people had to die.

Once a decision is made, no one is innocent.

It’s just like the saying goes: During an avalanche, no single snowflake is innocent.

These people were no different.

Ye Xuan stood on the Spirit Boat, sensing a probing intent.

However, he didn’t care.

It was best that today’s events spread.

In his absence, the Emperor Immortal Sect had been restless.

It was time to instill fear in other factions as well.

Under Li Kuangtu’s massacre, not a single person from the Huainan Mountain Jiang Family or the Heavens Cloud Divine Sect was spared.

The mountains were drenched in blood, which rose to the sky, and a terrifying murderous aura filled the air.

It was likely that Huainan Mountain would need a long time to wash away its sins and recover.

Once Li Kuangtu finished killing, he boarded the Spirit Boat and the three of them returned to the Spirit Boat’s port together.

Elder He was stunned by how quickly the three returned and didn’t ask any questions, silently stowing the Spirit Boat and telling Ye Xuan to command him as needed.

Ye Xuan didn’t say much and directly returned to the Sect with Zhou Youwei and Li Kuangtu.

"That quickly?!"

Qiu Wenhan, Lu Chengde, and others were astonished.

They knew that the Jiang Family was guarded by the Heavens Cloud Divine Sect, including the Sect Master of the Heavens Cloud Divine Sect and the Supreme Elder, both of whom were extremely powerful.

In their estimates, only when the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple’s powers were mobilized would the battle end.

Yet they had waited a long time, and the power of the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple had not stirred; they thought the trio hadn’t even started yet.

But the trio had already returned.

"I’m going to see my mother first," Zhou Youwei told Ye Xuan.

"Go ahead," Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

After Zhou Youwei left.

"Ye Xuan, how did it go?" Qiu Wenhan whispered.

Ye Xuan casually replied, hands in his pockets, "Naturally, I killed them all."

"What!" Qiu Wenhan’s eyes widened, and after a sharp intake of breath, he whispered, "Really killed them all?!"

"Not a single one could fight back," Li Kuangtu said hoarsely.

Qiu Wenhan, Wu Jingshan, and Lu Chengde were speechless.

Fine.

It was confirmed, then: all the people from the Jiang Family and Heavens Cloud Divine Sect had been killed.

While they were shocked, they were also thrilled.

This battle was a counterattack by the Emperor Immortal Sect, not only clearing the previous haze but also intimidating other factions!

Indeed, it was so.

When Ye Xuan and his companions returned to the Sect, Chu Zhenchuan, the Saint Master of the Xuanyuan Sacred Land, also received the news brought back by his trusted aide.

"What?!"

"They’re all dead?!"

Chu Zhenchuan was utterly shocked.

"Yes, including Yun Dongfan, the Sect Master of the Heavens Cloud Divine Sect, Yun Xian the True Person, the Supreme Elder, and Gao Modao, the Sect Leader of the Canghai Sect, all are dead," Chu Zhenchuan’s aide stated respectfully.

While speaking, shock was also evident in his eyes.

He had secretly followed and was immediately shocked by what happened on Huainan Mountain.

Following that, Li Kuangtu’s attack grievously injured Yun Xian the True Person. Then, within a mere ten moves in a combined effort, Li Kuangtu swept away all three!

They were the joint forces of three top-tier powerhouses, yet they were exterminated within ten moves.

What kind of monster was this?!

In the instant the three were defeated, he had quickly pulled back, making it clear he had no hostile intent, also fearing that Li Kuangtu might decide to kill him.

Fortunately, after killing the three, Li Kuangtu returned to the Spirit Boat to report!

Yes!

To report!

He personally saw Li Kuangtu kneeling on one knee before Ye Xuan, clearly the gesture of a subordinate.

In that moment, his eyes nearly popped out in surprise.

In the end, that guy was actually Ye Xuan’s subordinate?!

He didn’t miss out on this information and brought everything back to report to Chu Zhenchuan.

Chu Zhenchuan’s face alternated between shades, pacing back and forth in the great hall.

Earlier, although he had expected that things wouldn’t be simple, he had never anticipated such an outcome.

It was utterly beyond his expectations!

In their estimates, the most Ye Xuan could have done was create a major uproar on Huainan Mountain, putting the Heavens Cloud Divine Sect and the Jiang Family in a difficult position.

Who would have thought it would end up like this now.

"Have they discovered you?" Chu Zhenchuan looked at his confidant below and said sternly.

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhenchuan’s confidant replied in a low voice, "Actually, I was discovered by them the moment I arrived. However, they did not intend to harm me; otherwise, I would not have returned alive."

Chu Zhenchuan’s heart trembled, instantly understanding something. His expression turned solemn, and he said, "Immediately summon the three Elders and, meanwhile, order everyone from Xuanyuan Sacred Land to assemble. We must retreat from the Tianqing Mountains today!"

"I will comply with the Saint Master’s command!" Chu Zhenchuan’s confidant was well aware of the seriousness of the situation and went to execute the orders.

Chu Zhenchuan looked at the sky outside the great hall and suddenly sighed, saying with a complex expression, "Emperor Immortal Sect is becoming more and more mysterious..."

"If the Emperor Immortal Sect survives this calamity, then they are destined to claim a seat among the overlords of the Southern Domain in the future!"

Chu Zhenchuan seemed to have already foreseen this future.

And it might not just stop there; they could very well return to the East Desolation Domain.

The place where Emperor Immortal Sect currently is, is the ancestral land where the sect was initially established.

The true glory days of Emperor Immortal Sect were not here but in the East Desolation Domain!

This fact was well known among cultivators familiar with history.

Back then, Emperor Immortal Sect commanded the East Desolation Domain and was on the same level as the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, a colossal entity.

After the battle ninety thousand years ago, Emperor Immortal Sect was defeated and had to retreat to their ancestral land to recuperate.

Unfortunately, in the punitive battle forty thousand years ago, Emperor Immortal Sect was defeated again, and they never fully recovered.

But now, it seemed like Emperor Immortal Sect was on the rise again.

Regardless, Chu Zhenchuan had made up his mind that unless Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven reappeared, he would definitely not meddle in these muddy waters again.

It was too damn dangerous!

Yun Dongfan and Gao Modao, who were just discussing matters with him, were dead just like that.

But this is the world of cultivation!

Chu Zhenchuan did not want to die just yet, so he decided to lead his people away from the Tianqing Mountains and retreat for now.

After Chu Zhenchuan gave the order, the three Elders arrived.

When Chu Zhenchuan relayed the news, the three Elders were shocked, but they fully supported Chu Zhenchuan’s command.

Therefore, Xuanyuan Sacred Land took only a quarter of an hour to retreat from the occupied Spirit Sacred Land, leaving the Tianqing Mountains and heading home.

This move bewildered the Spirit Sacred Land.

What the hell?

They left just like that?!

The Saint Master of Spirit Sacred Land was also puzzled.

But he was no fool and knew there must be some trick to it.

However, these were not things he could know.

At least for now, he didn’t know.

The sudden withdrawal of Xuanyuan Sacred Land made those still within the Tianqing Mountains—Flying Immortal Sacred Land, Yunxiao Sect, Purple Flame Mountain, and Seven Killings Sect—all somewhat perplexed.

And the fastest to receive the news was Canghai Sect.

Because the news of Gao Modao’s death was directly disseminated from within Canghai Sect, they were already aware of this incident.

After a bit of investigation, they found out that their Sect Leader Gao Modao died in the Huainan Mountain Jiang Family.

And the cultivators in Huainan City had all seen what happened on Huainan Mountain.

So after a little investigation, Canghai Sect knew the cause of the incident.

Without any hesitation, they withdrew from the Tianqing Mountains with a speed not inferior to that of Xuanyuan Sacred Land.

Soon after, Flying Immortal Sacred Land also started their investigations.

It didn’t take long for Flying Immortal Sacred Land to slip away.

Now, only Yunxiao Sect, Purple Flame Mountain, and Seven Killings Sect remained, feeling uneasy.

They were already aware of everything that had happened on Huainan Mountain.

Huainan Mountain had been swept clean.

Along with those stationed there from Heavens Cloud Divine Sect, all were dead.

Four Elders, one Supreme Elder, Sect Leader,

All were dead.

Poor Sect Leader Gao Modao of Canghai Sect, who had originally planned to go and lend a hand, never returned, ending up losing his life there!

All these signs seemed to indicate that Emperor Immortal Sect was sounding the horn for a counterattack.

Now, with the two greatest Demon Kings yet to attack Emperor Immortal Sect, how could they not be anxious?

Yunxiao Sect was aware of this; Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect had said they were not to be provoked.

But they refused to believe in curses and decided to join forces with Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven, resolved to fight Emperor Immortal Sect again.

However, Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven spirited away midway.

And they have not returned yet.

And Heavens Cloud Divine Sect met with disaster at this time.

Everyone panicked!

The Great Elder of Yunxiao Sect could only personally go and contact the people of Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven.
