The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 497 - 496: The Forbidden Ancient Array?

Chapter 497: Chapter 496: The Forbidden Ancient Array?

"Break the Array!"

The eight Heavenly Human Realm Elders from the four Sects led the charge, with eighty thousand disciples launching an assault on the Emperor Immortal Sect.

The eighteen protectors of the Longevity Realm took the lead!

Their momentum rose, condensed and formidable, shaking one’s divine soul.

The very earth seemed to tremble.

The clouds above the sky had been dispersed into nothingness by the shock.

Gales howled, complemented by the rolling chill of the Half-Yin World’s winds.

It seemed as though the end of days for the Emperor Immortal Sect was truly upon them!

The Yunxiao Sect, Fierce Battle Sect, Qianyuan Cave Heaven, Purple Flame Mountain, and Seven Killings Sect did not rush to act but merely watched the scene unfold with disdain or a hint of amusement in their eyes.

For them, the Emperor Immortal Sect was no longer the power it had been forty thousand or ninety thousand years ago; this was the extent of their strength.

Although there was a potential for a rise, it was just that—potential, not yet an ascension to become the Overlord.

And what if they had actually risen?

After the earth-shattering confrontation between the Emperor Immortal Sect and Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect ninety thousand years ago, the Emperor Immortal Sect, after fifty thousand years of lingering survival, rose again.

The Emperor Immortal Sect at that time was far from the strength it had ninety thousand years ago, but it was nonetheless a top-tier power.

Didn’t they still fall at their feet in that era?

These forces seized the opportunity to rise swiftly and secured their footing in the East Desolate until today.

In their eyes, the current Emperor Immortal Sect was nothing but mere ants.

Boom!

However, the next moment, their expressions changed.

They saw the eighty thousand disciples from the four Sects, along with the eighteen Longevity Realm protectors and eight Heavenly Human Realm Elders, all plummeting toward the earth.

That scene left everyone dumbfounded.

"What’s going on!?"

An uproar followed!

This caused a massive disturbance within the Alliance Army of the nine great powers.

Inside the Emperor Immortal Sect, there was also astonishment, along with overwhelming surprise.

"What’s happening here?" The whole of Emperor Immortal Sect was taken aback.

"Could it be..." The group of disciples who had previously attended the exchange meeting with Ye Xuan showed a look of surprise in their eyes, seemingly realizing something.

It was at the Wansheng Mountain Arena where the Emperor Immortal Sect had an exchange meeting with the Lie Tian Academy.

But after the exchange meeting, Hong Yunlie of Lie Tian Academy not only reneged on his promise but also allied with the three Overlords of the Tian Qing Mountains to attack the Emperor Immortal Sect.

In that moment, all the people from the three Overlords fell to the ground.

"Has the Ancestor awakened!?" Zhu Xiaofei, Tan Qingshan, and others became exceedingly excited.

"But that’s not right, wasn’t the life extension technique only supposed to be perfected after today? How could the Ancestor awaken at this time?"

Even more people were puzzled.

These disciples were all true inheritors of the Emperor Immortal Sect; hence, they knew quite a bit of inside information.

For instance, they were aware of which Ancestor Zhou Chaolong was using the life extension technique, and this was a source of their confusion.

Because they were aware, they were even more puzzled.

The scene just now was almost identical to what had happened at the Wansheng Mountain Arena, yet the Ancestor hadn’t awoken.

What exactly was going on?

They were filled with questions.

Zhou Zihuang, who was standing in midair, naturally also witnessed this scene.

However, he appeared calm, with a hint of a smile playing on his lips.

Ye Xuan truly hadn’t deceived him!

They needed only to wait.

There was no need to pay any heed to the encirclement by the nine great powers.

This was Ye Xuan’s instruction.

As for how to deal with the siege of the nine great powers, Ye Xuan had said to leave it to him.

The reality proved that leaving it to Ye Xuan was indeed the right choice.

"Rumors say that within our Sect’s Ancestral Land, the founder, Lie Tian Great Emperor, along with Xuanyuan, Hong Yuan, and the ten Emperor Generals, created the Emperor Foundation. Now it seems to be true..."

Zhou Zihuang was not a fool; on the contrary, he was very smart.

The fate of the four Sects made him immediately think of those stories.

There were only a few cards left in the Emperor Immortal Sect’s hand that could turn the tide.

The power of the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple held by Ye Xuan was one of them.

The Divine Sun Sword held by Youwei was another.

Beyond that, nothing else could truly be considered a trump card.

The inexplicable occurrence now naturally led Zhou Zihuang to think about the legends of the Emperor Immortal Sect’s Ancestral Land.

It seemed to be true,

Moreover, the Emperor Foundation of the Emperor Immortal Sect also seemed to be under Ye Xuan’s control.

Zhou Zihuang couldn’t help sighing internally, "My good son-in-law, just how great is your origin..."

Ever since he met Ye Xuan, Zhou Zihuang had never been able to see through this man.

It was as if he had an enigma that was difficult for anyone to crack.

That kind of feeling, Zhou Zihuang had never experienced with anyone else.

Even when facing the three ancestors, Zhou Zihuang had never felt this way.

Everything had changed since he met Ye Xuan.

He even felt somewhat fortunate that his old man had an old friendship with Ye Hongli, the elder of Wan’an City, and had settled this marriage arrangement.

He was also glad that his daughter Zhou Youwei insisted on marrying Ye Xuan.

Otherwise, where could he find such a strong and compliant son-in-law?

Upon thinking of this, Zhou Zihuang cracked a smile.

Emperor Immortal Sect is destined to prosper!

Those from the nine great powers, however, were finding it difficult to accept what was happening at this moment.

"Is this, a Forbidden Array?!"

Some powerful beings were asking in shock and uncertainty.

All of this was just too bizarre.

Eighty thousand disciples, eighteen protectors, and eight elders had suddenly lost their ability to fight.

What sort of terrifying power was this?

Utterly frightening!

"How did they set up such an Ancient Array?" The elders from Qianyuan Cave Heaven furrowed their brows, finding it incredible.

"Could it be that they still had many things hidden from those years?"

This indeed aroused a trace of curiosity within them.

Mysteriously peculiar.

"Senior predecessors, how do you explain this?" Miao Yuanqing and Chu Zhenchuan both set their gazes on the elders from Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven.

To tell the truth, an unsuccessful start was something they had not anticipated at all.

In their expectations, the Emperor Immortal Sect should have dispatched Ye Xuan and that mysterious powerful person.

But now, before the Emperor Immortal Sect’s side had even responded, the people from their four sects had already lost their combat effectiveness.

It was quite unbearable.

"It’s of no consequence, they are not in danger of losing their lives," said Duan Song from Fierce Battle Sect, slightly narrowing his eyes.

In fact, they too had not anticipated this move.

However, one thing was certain, although the people from the four sects were injured, they were not in life-threatening danger.

"Forbidden Ancient Arrays typically indiscriminately suppress everything; if people from the Emperor Immortal Sect dare to come out, they will also be affected by the Forbidden Ancient Array," said another elder from Qianyuan Cave Heaven slowly.

"This time, everyone should send out their people and attack from all nine directions!"

"Good!" Hearing this, Miao Yuanqing and the others all nodded in agreement.

Following that, the higher-ups of the nine great powers gave orders immediately, commanding their elite forces to begin the siege.

This time, the nine great powers directly mobilized three hundred thousand cultivators in an attacking formation!

Boom!

However, the same thing happened again!

All three hundred thousand cultivators from the nine great powers fell to the ground at the same moment.

The sounds of their impact arrived nearly at the same time, along with a chorus of screams.

The moment they entered the Emperor Immortal Sect’s territory, it was as if they had lost their cultivation, falling straight to the ground. Even though they were tough enough not to die from the fall, they were still injured.

"Cultivators falling like rain, what a spectacle," Zhou Zihuang commented indifferently with a loud laugh.

These words were tantamount to slapping the faces of the nine great powers.

Especially the elder from Qianyuan Cave Heaven who had just spoken, felt he had lost face.

He had just made a vow.

And now, this had happened.

"Does this Forbidden Ancient Array encompass a thousand li?" the high-ranking members of Fierce Battle Sect all frowned.

"How are we supposed to fight?"

Those cultivators from the nine great powers who hadn’t taken any action were all looking at each other, with a sense of dread emerging.

If the opponent had a Forbidden Ancient Array, then entering it would mean they posed no threat whatsoever.

To think of shaking a sect with mere numbers?

That was impossible.

As disciples from prestigious sects, they were very clear on this point.

Even if a mortal was extremely strong, they couldn’t arm-wrestle a cultivator.

They simply weren’t from the same world.

Within the Forbidden Ancient Array, every cultivator is reduced to a mortal.

It’s as if they had a million cultivators, but all were mortals.

Even if the Emperor Immortal Sect were weaker, killing mortals would be like slaughtering chickens, wouldn’t it?

"First, have them all retreat. Arrange the battle formations, sword arrays, and magical arrays to carry out long-range attacks," Duan Song quickly reacted and made a judgment.
