The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 538 - 537: Cause and Effect

Chapter 538: Chapter 537: Cause and Effect

"Mo Yunli!"

Mo Yunchui gnashed his teeth with eyes splitting with fury, wishing he could skin Mo Yunli alive and swallow him whole!

Mo Yunli narrowed his eyes slightly, a strong murderous intent brewing within.

The two of them were clearly mortal enemies.

And the kind that would not rest until death.

This could be deduced from the fact Mo Yunli had imprisoned Mo Yunchui in the Blood Prison.

"Mr. Ye, will you get involved in this matter?" Mo Yunli asked respectfully.

Despite the overwhelming killing intent in his heart, Mo Yunli was very clear that the attitude of Ye Xuan would be the deciding factor in this affair.

If Ye Xuan intervened, then he would stand no chance.

But if Ye Xuan did not interfere, then there was still hope for him.

Mo Yunchui also looked towards Ye Xuan.

To tell the truth, he still hadn’t figured out why Ye Xuan was even here.

What was even more baffling was why Mo Yunli was so afraid of Ye Xuan?

Although Ye Xuan had many tricks up his sleeve, Mo Yunchui was very clear that Ye Xuan was in fact just a son-in-law from the Emperor Immortal Sect, with his own identity being a distant relative of the Ye Family.

However, Mo Yunchui also knew about the disturbances and anomalies caused by Ye Xuan.

But these...

Were not the reasons why Mo Yunli was afraid of Ye Xuan.

After all, Mo Yunli could now be considered the new Family Head of the Mo Family.

As the Overlord of the East Desolate, the Mo Family naturally would not be afraid of these matters.

Mo Yunchui understood the kind of person Mo Yunli was; to deal with him, one had to suppress him with overwhelming strength.

Yet now Mo Yunli was so terrified of Ye Xuan, which suggested many things.

Ye Xuan possessed terrifying power that Mo Yunli was afraid of!

This was beyond Mo Yunchui’s imagination.

In his memory, Ye Xuan was only at the Inscriptions Realm.

But now, it seemed that he had reached the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.

The speed of his advancement was astounding!

But, this shouldn’t be enough to scare Mo Yunli, should it?

Mo Yunchui was full of doubts.

"This is a matter of the Mo Family, and I have no interest in meddling," Ye Xuan said indifferently.

Mo Yunli instantly felt a surge of joy in his heart.

"However..."

Ye Xuan gave Mo Yunli a sidelong glance and slowly said, "I simply find Mo Yunchui more to my preference, rather than you."

Mo Yunli’s face stiffened, his eyes showing a hint of despair.

Boom!

Ye Xuan didn’t give Mo Yunli time to wallow in sorrow and despair; he simply shook his Emperor Soul and knocked him out.

Mo Yunli collapsed limply on the ground, motionless.

"This..."

This scene caused Mo Yunchui to widen his eyes in shock.

"Mr. Ye, you..."

Mo Yunchui looked at the collapsed Mo Yunli on the ground and then back at Ye Xuan, completely befuddled.

"Don’t misunderstand, I just simply find that guy irksome," Ye Xuan said with a slight lift at the corner of his mouth.

Mo Yunchui couldn’t help but give a bitter smile and deeply bowed to Ye Xuan, saying, "Previously, I thought Mr. Ye was just a hidden dragon. It seems I was blind, Mr. Ye, you’re not a hidden dragon at all, but a true True Dragon!"

Ye Xuan glanced at Mo Yunchui, his mouth twitching dismissively as he said, "Your flattery is quite poor, I don’t have much affection for True Dragons."

Mo Yunchui couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly, "In any case, Mr. Ye truly is the greatest benefactor of my life, Mo Yunchui!"

There was not a single ounce of falsehood in these words.

For Mo Yunchui, gratitude towards Ye Xuan was all that filled his heart.

If it weren’t for Ye Xuan coming across him during his past calamities, he would have been doomed.

Now, facing a fatal crisis again, it was Mr. Ye who appeared and saved him.

To save a life is to deserve a lifetime of gratitude.

To save a life twice, one should surely repay it with a lifetime of service!

Such benefactors are rare in life!

But Mo Yunchui had encountered one, so how could he not be thankful.

Ye Xuan was calm, speaking slowly, "Enough with the nonsense, tell me what happened to you. Mo Yunli’s strength shouldn’t be greater than yours, how did you manage to capsize in the gutter?"

Hearing this, Mo Yunchui smiled wryly and said, "To my shame, after returning to the Mo Family, my first act was to eliminate the dissenters, slaying every defector from the past twenty years. But who would have thought that in these twenty years, it wasn’t the lineage of the traitors that rose, but the lineage of this Mo Yunli instead."

"After the traitor’s lineage was executed, I ended up locking horns with that Mo Yunli’s lineage,"

"I originally held an absolute advantage, but who would have expected that Mo Yunli’s ancestor would suddenly step into a terrifying realm, and Mo Yunli took this opportunity to slander me, accusing me of colluding with the Demon Clan in the Demon Realm, and had me ousted from power..."

When he finished speaking, a look of despair and resentment flashed through Mo Yunchui’s eyes.

To tell the truth, Mo Yunchui had experienced even more terrifying power struggles within the Mo family, so his fight with Mo Yunli was nothing in comparison.

What he hadn’t anticipated was falling from grace in such a manner, and he felt truly stifled.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan’s expression turned somewhat strange as he said, "Your Mo family has just one elder ancestor?"

Mo Yunchui shook his head and said, "Of course not, but as you know, Mr. Ye, many elder ancestors are of such an advanced age that they fall into a deep slumber, seldom involving themselves in clan affairs."

"Moreover, I had been missing for twenty years prior to this, and only returned a few months ago. In the eyes of those elder ancestors, I might as well be a dead man, which made it all too easy for Mo Yunli to manipulate the situation..."

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn’t you try to contact those sleeping ancestors? Tell me he didn’t suppress you with another elder ancestor from Mo Yunli’s lineage?"

Mo Yunchui offered a wry smile and responded, "Mr. Ye has keen insight."

Unable to help himself, Ye Xuan pursed his lips and said, "The internal decay within your Mo family is even worse than the Ye Family."

This kind of messed-up succession of power truly left Ye Xuan speechless.

The East Desolate Mo Family appeared to be a leading overlord of the East Desolate, but internally it was utterly rotten.

Even more so than the Ye Family.

Mo Yunchui sighed and said, "In truth, every family has its own difficult scripture to chant, whether it’s the many powers of the East Desolate, or the Central Earth Divine Continent, the Beiming Sea Domain, the Southern Ridge Divine Mountain, or even the West Desert Buddha Land, there are many such situations happening."

"Let’s end this topic here," Ye Xuan said.

These matters were not something Ye Xuan wished to dwell on.

They were meaningless.

His own Revenge Lineage had never experienced such affairs.

Because he had divided all the power very meticulously.

All authority was firmly held in his own hands.

"Where’s that girl, Qing Lian?" asked Ye Xuan, frowning.

This girl who claimed she wanted to be his maid had not been seen throughout their journey.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yunchui’s complexion changed abruptly, as he hastily said, "Mr. Ye, let’s talk as we walk!"

Seeing this, Ye Xuan came to understand.

It seemed that Mo Qinglian’s current situation was also quite dire.

After Mo Yunchui locked Mo Yunli in the Blood Prison, he then led Ye Xuan through a secret passage that only he knew about.

As they moved along, Mo Yunchui talked and walked.

Ye Xuan also started to understand the current situation.

After Mo Yunli took control, the forces loyal to Mo Yunchui had naturally suffered suppression at every turn.

As the granddaughter of Mo Yunchui, Mo Qinglian naturally faced considerable suppression as well.

However, because Mo Qinglian possessed the Pure Spirit Divine Body, even Mo Yunli’s elder ancestor was reluctant to suppress such a talented junior, so she was spared.

This gave Mo Yunli some ideas, wishing to have Mo Yunqing marry the monstrous talent from their own clan, Mo Chenliang.

This Mo Chenliang, the grandson of Mo Yunli, was also a famous prodigy within the Mo family, possessing a significant reputation throughout the entire East Desolate.

Naturally, Mo Yunli wanted Mo Chenliang to marry Mo Qinglian and produce an even more monstrously talented child.

In this way, Mo Qinglian would not only survive but also contribute.

In Mo Yunli’s view, this was killing two birds with one stone, and something that could be justified to the elder ancestor.

"Their wedding day is set for the day after tomorrow. Mo Yunli wants to add joy upon joy after his succession," Mo Yunchui said, his face looking very ugly, with murderous intent flickering in his eyes.

Ye Xuan followed close behind Mo Yunchui, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Although he didn’t have much emotional attachment to this girl, Mo Qinglian, in his heart, he felt she possessed a pure and untainted spirit.

Such a girl should not be defiled.

Especially not in this manner.

At this moment, the Mo family’s interior had become somewhat chaotic.

The Family Head was missing!

After going to the prison, he had disappeared along with that Mr. Ye.

At the same time, some had found the old butler and Mo Xiangyu, and upon awakening the two, the news they received also shook the Mo family.

"That Mr. Ye actually controlled the Family Head?!"

"Find this man immediately!"

"Report this matter to the elder ancestors without delay!"

The entire Mo family was mobilized into action.

It was as if they were on the brink of war!
