The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 517 - 516: You Won

Chapter 517: Chapter 516: You Won

It is said that a group from the Yunxiao Sect,

after fleeing from the Emperor Immortal Sect’s territory, immediately retreated to the Yunxiao Sect and activated the Mountain Protection Array.

Fortunately, the previous attack was delayed due to the Revenge Talisman, and the Yunxiao Sect had set up a Daoist Platform outside the Tianqing Mountain Range that directly traversed the Void and returned to the Yunxiao Sect.

Compared to other forces whose members had to fly back, this was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

In this battle, the Yunxiao Sect lost nearly thirty thousand disciples.

The losses of the Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven were not so great.

Because they sent not too many people, and during the fight, they always stayed at the very back and escaped as soon as things looked bad.

So overall, the disciples of the Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven didn’t suffer much.

But...

Their ancestors died.

Vajra Bull Demon, True Person Yang, and True Person Huang Shan.

Only True Person Bai Miao was seriously injured and escaped.

The expressions on everyone’s faces were extremely ugly, whether somber, sad, or angry.

A few key Elders from the three major forces gathered in the main hall of the Yunxiao Sect.

"Fellow Daoist, I’m afraid we need to report to the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect first," said an Elder from Qianyuan Cave Heaven, his face pale, as he spoke to the Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect.

An Elder from the Fierce Battle Sect also had an extremely somber expression as he gazed at the Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect and said, "Didn’t your Yunxiao Sect claim that dealing with the Emperor Immortal Sect would be easy, then why has it come to this?"

"Now is not the time to be pursuing this matter," the Elder from Qianyuan Cave Heaven frowned and said.

What time is it now, still thinking of placing blame?

Is it useful?

The Elder from the Fierce Battle Sect snorted coldly, feeling extremely frustrated inside, but said nothing further.

The face of the Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect was also as pale as paper, the situation having completely exceeded his expectations.

He had not anticipated such an outcome either.

The words of the Elders from the Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven, he heard them, but they troubled his heart.

Now, if he were to lose his temper, both powers might abandon them, and then the Yunxiao Sect would be completely finished.

Thus, the Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect tried to make his tone as gentle as possible and said, "There has been no movement from the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect side."

"As for those guys from the Emperor Immortal Sect, the Yunxiao Sect, like you, did not expect this."

"You should hurry and notify the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect. That Ning Sword Saint, he is not someone we can handle," said the Elder from the Fierce Battle Sect impatiently.

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect furrowed his brow slightly.

Seeing this, an Elder from Qianyuan Cave Heaven also spoke, "Fellow Daoist, the situation is truly dire, you should contact the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect. Otherwise, once those monsters from the Emperor Immortal Sect catch up, we are all doomed."

"If the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect doesn’t intervene, then we won’t need to stay at the Yunxiao Sect anymore," said the Elder from the Fierce Battle Sect with a cold huff.

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect suddenly felt overwhelmed.

Contact the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect?

With what?

In the past, following the death of the Sect Leader of the Yunxiao Sect, they had sought out the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect.

But the response they received was an absolute instruction not to provoke the Emperor Immortal Sect.

They had already been warned, yet they did not heed the advice and sought trouble, and now that there was trouble, how were they to explain themselves?

Thinking of this, the Yunxiao Sect was filled with regret.

If only they had heeded the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect’s warning, would it have come to this?

In truth, he had decided to fight only because of the Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven.

Who would have expected that several powerful figures would suddenly appear within the Emperor Immortal Sect?

Even the Sword Saint from forty thousand years ago had stepped forward.

This person had already been famous in the East Desolate forty thousand years ago.

His appearance had completely disrupted their plans, leading to the current situation.

Regret now was of no use whatsoever.

With this in mind, the Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect could only grit his teeth and swallow them.

"I will go and inquire with the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect,"

said the Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect as he slowly stood up, looking much aged.

"Act quickly, otherwise, if that bunch from the Emperor Immortal Sect catches up, we’re all going to die," said the Elder of the Fierce Battle Sect in a grave tone.

Although the Elder from Qianyuan Cave Heaven did not say anything, he also looked at the Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect, clearly agreeing with the Fierce Battle Sect Elder.

At a time like this, the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect was critical to their survival; if they did not act swiftly, what would happen if there was trouble later?

"Alright."

"Then the Yunxiao Sect will be temporarily entrusted to you, fellow Daoists, to guard,"

said the Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect without any hesitation, as he resolutely walked towards the Daoist Platform leading to the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect.

"If the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect does not intervene, we must leave immediately back to the East Desolate," said the Elder of the Fierce Battle Sect quietly.

"Hmm..." The Elder from Qianyuan Cave Heaven did not deny this fact.

If the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect did not intervene, their continued presence here meant they were waiting for death.

How could the lives of their tens of thousands be buried here?

Listening to those words, the Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect filled the Spirit Stone, and his vision went dark.

After two seconds, he had returned to the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect.

"Who goes there?"

It was the familiar dialogue again.

The Great Elder from Yunxiao Sect, well-practiced, sought out Ning Zhengtian once more.

"Sect Leader Ning," said the Great Elder from Yunxiao Sect respectfully.

Ning Zhengtian’s eyebrows raised slightly, "Why have you come again? What is it this time?"

The face of the Great Elder from Yunxiao Sect turned red, and he was at a loss for words.

After all, Ning Zhengtian had already warned him during his previous visit.

Ning Zhengtian’s frown deepened.

Had this man gone and provoked that Ye Xuan from the Emperor Immortal Sect!?

"Did you not listen to what I said before?" Ning Zhengtian said gravely.

The Great Elder from Yunxiao Sect trembled, quickly prostrating himself on the ground, stammering, "Lord, this matter is due to Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven striking once more, which led our Yunxiao Sect to get involved."

"Leave, my Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect will not interfere," Ning Zhengtian turned and left, utterly indifferent, allowing the Great Elder from Yunxiao Sect no chance to say more.

"Sect Leader Ning, if the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect does not intervene, then our Yunxiao Sect will surely be annihilated!"

The Great Elder from Yunxiao Sect cried out in grief, his voice filled with tears.

Ning Zhengtian stamped his foot, turned slightly, and said coldly, "What did I tell you during your last visit?"

"You ignored what I said and now you still expect me to intervene on your behalf?"

Ning Zhengtian’s expression was extremely grim.

He had emphasized repeatedly not to provoke Ye Xuan.

But the Great Elder from Yunxiao Sect, despite knowing all this, had still gotten involved and now that trouble had arisen, he naturally was reluctant to intervene.

"Sect Leader Ning!" the Great Elder from Yunxiao Sect cried in despair, "But this time it was not because of that Ye Xuan, but because the Sword Saint from forty thousand years ago and the Heavenly God of Divine Eye have reappeared!"

"Leave," Ning Zhengtian huffed.

Boom!

In an instant, the Great Elder from Yunxiao Sect was blasted away, vomiting fresh blood.

"Sect Leader Ning..."

No matter how the Great Elder from Yunxiao Sect called out, Ning Zhengtian did not stop his stride and left.

When Ning Zhengtian disappeared from view, the Great Elder from Yunxiao Sect’s face turned ashen as if he had lost his soul, lying there motionless and lifeless.

After a long while, the Great Elder from Yunxiao Sect, hanging his head in defeat like an old dog, left helplessly.

He knew it was all over.

If the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect did not intervene, his Yunxiao Sect was nothing.

Neither the Fierce Battle Sect nor Qianyuan Cave Heaven cared at all.

He was very clear about that fact.

Now that he had failed to secure help from the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, both the Fierce Battle Sect and people from Qianyuan Cave Heaven would leave.

At that point, all the Yunxiao Sect could do was await death.

Thinking of this, the Great Elder from Yunxiao Sect’s heart turned to ash, filled with utter despair.

"Hmm?"

But at that moment, the Great Elder from Yunxiao Sect was confused.

The people of Yunxiao Sect, why were they all gone?

"Song Lijin."

A voice slowly rose.

A man dressed in green emerged, his expression calm, a Divine Sword following him.

"Zhou Zihuang!"

Upon seeing the man, the Great Elder from Yunxiao Sect’s face dramatically changed, "How are you here!?"

But immediately, the man known as Song Lijin, now the Great Elder from Yunxiao Sect, chuckled bitterly, sat down hard on the ground, and said slowly, "You’ve won."

Having lost all will to fight, Song Lijin was even too lethargic to fight back, simply sitting on the ground awaiting death.

"Enough with that victim act."

Boom!

A Divine Spear tore through the air, instantly piercing through Song Lijin’s chest, pinning him against the mountain wall behind him.

Mu Baicheng arrived, his demeanor cold.
