The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 490 - 489

Chapter 490: 489

After the Underworld Ninth Grade Judge disappeared, Zhou Zihuang, Mu Baicheng, and Jiang Jing all arrived at the Mountain Gate immediately to tend to Li Kuangtu’s injuries.

"Get lost, I can handle it myself," Li Kuangtu said with a grin, stopping everyone in their tracks.

Despite bleeding from all seven orifices and nearly having his body shattered, he showed no sign of fear.

Even while Ye Xuan and that Underworld Ninth Grade Judge were talking, Li Kuangtu’s injuries had already begun to slowly heal.

This terrifying recovery ability was unique to Li Kuangtu alone.

Zhou Zihuang and Mu Baicheng naturally noticed this and were both astonished.

They had thought that after taking that hit, Li Kuangtu would be critically injured and on the brink of death—they hadn’t expected him to be so tenacious.

But Jiang Jing hadn’t noticed this. She furrowed her brows and said, "You’re severely hurt. Right now, our Emperor Immortal Sect is facing a great enemy; you can’t die yet."

Li Kuangtu had a bad temper, and Jiang Jing hadn’t minced her words either.

Li Kuangtu ignored Jiang Jing and glanced across at Zhou Zihuang, sneering, "Zhou Zihuang, if you don’t take your wife and leave, don’t blame me for slaughtering her later."

But the next moment, Li Kuangtu seemed to remember something and suddenly became somewhat restrained, squeezing out an awkward smile and chuckled, "Sorry, I misspoke. What I mean is that this injury is nothing to me. Sect master, you should take the Sect Master’s wife and go back first. Don’t worry about me."

Jiang Jing, who was just about to scold him, was suddenly taken aback.

Not just Jiang Jing, Mu Baicheng also wore a puzzled expression.

Was Li Kuangtu’s mind switched wrong?

One second he was so fierce, and the next, he turned so amicable?

Zhou Zihuang seemed to think of something, but he did not expose it. He merely bowed slightly, saying, "The defense of the Mountain Gate will continue to be entrusted to the elder."

"It’s my duty," Li Kuangtu said, sitting crossed-legged on the ground and exhaling lightly.

His injuries were indeed severe.

But he could handle it.

And it was a good time for cultivation!

Seeing this, Zhou Zihuang, Jiang Jing, and Mu Baicheng voluntarily took their leave.

After returning to Emperor Peak, Jiang Jing expressed her concerns, "Husband, are Li Kuangtu’s injuries really no big deal?"

Zhou Zihuang shook his head slightly and replied, "He practices the Battle Demon Technique passed down by the ancestor Hong Yuan, which is different from ours, so there shouldn’t be a big problem."

Jiang Jing pondered this, but then said, "That guy’s words were so strange just now. He started out so fierce; how did he suddenly became so easygoing?"

She had been puzzled earlier but didn’t dare to ask because of Li Kuangtu.

Mu Baicheng was also somewhat perplexed.

Zhou Zihuang smiled slightly, his gaze turning toward Cang Mountain, his eyes reflecting a kind of special reverence, "Perhaps it’s because our precious son-in-law."

"Ye Xuan?" Jiang Jing also looked toward Cang Mountain, a trace of emotion surfacing in her beautiful eyes.

Maybe it was indeed.

After all, in the entire Emperor Immortal Sect, the only person who could command Li Kuangtu was Ye Xuan.

Even the words of the three elders hardly interested Li Kuangtu.

Maybe it was at that moment, he had thought of her as the mother-in-law of Ye Xuan?

Thinking this, Jiang Jing couldn’t help but suppress a chuckle, her heart filled with emotion.

In half a year’s time, Ye Xuan was no longer the Ye Xuan of before.

The one thing Jiang Jing regretted was being too harsh on Ye Xuan initially.

Fortunately, her son-in-law had not held it against her.

Otherwise, she would probably be a dead person by now.

Of course, if she had truly died by Ye Xuan’s hand, she would not have been resentful.

After all, she had been too harsh on Ye Xuan in the beginning.

"What am I thinking..." Jiang Jing shook her head, throwing those thoughts out of her mind.

Indeed, Li Kuangtu’s change in attitude was because he suddenly remembered that point; otherwise, his temper was not good at all.

"Seize the chance to cultivate, your ’Battle Demon Technique’ can take this opportunity to advance to the fourth level."

"Also, don’t misuse the technique to open the Divine Gate; it will cause your Battle Demon Power to deplete faster."

The voice of Ye Xuan echoed in Li Kuangtu’s mind.

"Yes, Young Master!" Li Kuangtu acknowledged.

"Is the young master very weak?" Li Kuangtu raised his eyebrows.

Ye Xuan’s aura was noticeably weak.

Li Kuangtu was clearly aware of this.

However, Ye Xuan did not respond to Li Kuangtu, sitting cross-legged on the Heavenly Thunder Stone.

At this moment, Ye Xuan was as pale as paper, with cold sweat continuously emerging on his forehead.

But Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm.

Having just driven away that Ninth Grade Judge, though it was only a moment, the consumption of his Soul Power was huge.

That Ninth Grade Judge, if it were the Ye Xuan of before, would indeed have been mere rubble.

But for him now, it really wouldn’t be easy to take action if he had to use means.

Thus, he could only utilize the power of the Emperor Soul.

He deliberately released a hint of the Emperor’s Might to scare off the Ninth Grade Judge.

"Five more days," Ye Xuan calculated silently.

The Life Extension Technique required seven days.

Not counting today, there were five days left.

But within these five days, people from the Fierce Battle Sect and the Qianyuan Cave Heaven would likely have arrived.

"How long does this guy plan to sleep..." Ye Xuan couldn’t help but mutter, somewhat dissatisfied.

For heaven’s sake, the Netherworld’s Ninth Grade Judge had come, and he was still in deep slumber.

Was he really planning not to act unless the Emperor Immortal Sect was on the brink of destruction?

Ye Xuan’s muttering, however, reached the old man under the thick forest beside the platform of the Divine Gate of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

The fingertips of the old man moved slightly.

Then there was no more reaction.

"Well..." Ye Xuan curled his lips.

He heard, yet he still wouldn’t stand up. It looked like he really planned to appear only when the Emperor Immortal Sect was about to fall.

"I am indeed working hard for the Emperor Immortal Sect. Right now, I’m very weak. When the Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven arrive, if you still don’t show up, then just watch the Emperor Immortal Sect perish."

Ye Xuan said another sentence.

After finishing, Ye Xuan didn’t pay it any more attention.

Truth be told, he hadn’t expected that the Emperor Immortal Sect was still hiding a powerhouse.

Back then, when he was cultivating at the platform of the Divine Gate, he hadn’t noticed this at all.

If it weren’t for the burst of the Emperor Soul just now that allowed him to scrutinize the Emperor Immortal Sect as if he were looking into fire, that old fellow might have remained hidden for a long time.

Regarding the identity of this old fellow, Ye Xuan wasn’t curious.

With a little thought, one could guess that this old fellow was definitely a strong figure left from the earlier days of the Emperor Immortal Sect, perhaps the last ace up their sleeve.

Hidden deeply indeed.

It was likely that no one in the Emperor Immortal Sect knew of this person’s existence.

However, knowing that there was such a person, Ye Xuan felt quite relieved.

At the very least, it meant he didn’t need to handle everything by himself.

Once Lv Tiangang, Cao Jianchun, and Zhou Chaolong successfully extended their lives, no power within the Southern Domain would dare to seek death.

Then, he would be free to attend to his own matters.

The Emperor Soul had been awakened for over half a year; he needed to make contact with the Revenge Lineage soon to gauge the current situation of the Double Emperors.

But judging by the matter of the Revenge Talisman, making contact with the Revenge Lineage might be difficult.

Before that, Ye Xuan needed to restore his strength to higher levels.

His current strength was still far from sufficient.

The Sovereign of the Sect of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect was estimated to be arriving soon.

The upcoming meeting would involve a lot, and Ye Xuan had to be well-prepared.

If the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect had indeed become a lackey to the Double Emperors, he would show no mercy in erasing it.

Even if the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect was founded by his disciple, the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Emperor, he would not hesitate!

Some matters must be dealt with decisively.

Indecision leads to disaster!

But from the external rumors, the Double Emperors originated from the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect. Thus, it might also be because of the Double Emperors that the sect was forced to bow down.

There are many possibilities, and right now, Ye Xuan could only guess blindly.

After all, the conflict between the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect and the Emperor Immortal Sect happened after his spirit had slipped into slumber.

The exact reason was unclear to him.

He would only find out in time.

At this moment, those who had been keeping an eye on the Emperor Immortal Sect all felt a bit odd.

They could not discern precisely what was happening in the Emperor Immortal Sect, and could only rely on the fluctuating darkness to make judgments.

The moment the Netherworld’s Ninth Grade Judge arrived, they even saw the Emperor Immortal Sect seemingly disappear completely.

But soon after, the Emperor Immortal Sect reappeared, and the darkness seemed to dissipate a lot as well.

All these signs seemed to indicate that the Netherworld Guide hadn’t troubled the Emperor Immortal Sect.

The Life Extension Technique of the Emperor Immortal Sect was still ongoing!

"Looks like we’ll have to make a move only after the Fierce Battle Sect and the Qianyuan Cave Heaven arrive," murmured the Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect, narrowing his eyes.

He had initially planned to benefit from the infighting.

Now there was no hope of that.
