The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 549 - 548

Chapter 549: 548

"Is it you?!" Mo Shanhu’s eyes fell on Ye Xuan, a trace of terror in his gaze.

What kind of monster was this guy, to be able to manipulate him across tens of millions of miles?!

Such means even surpassed his understanding!

After all, Mo Shanhu was an old monster who had lived for more than ninety thousand years, having seen all manner of things.

Yet, now facing Ye Xuan, Mo Shanhu felt as if his mind was inadequate.

Mysterious, so very mysterious.

It was damn too mysterious.

It completely exceeded his comprehension.

"Continuing our earlier topic, call over the strongest elder of your Mo family." Ye Xuan said indifferently.

Mo Shanhu’s heart jolted, and instantly understanding dawned on him. He spoke solemnly, "May I ask what exactly Your Excellency is implying?"

Ye Xuan glanced at Mo Shanhu and stroked his ink jade ring, saying indifferently, "You are too weak, not qualified to converse with me."

Mo Shanhu: "..."

Mo Tongfeng: "..."

Mo Yunli: "..."

The Mo family’s senior members: "..."

All were left speechless.

An old monster who had lived more than ninety thousand years was told he was too weak to even qualify for a conversation?

What a joke.

However, the moment they recalled everything Ye Xuan had displayed just now, laughter eluded them.

It seemed that this youth did indeed qualify to make such a statement.

After all, Mo Shanhu had just been defeated in an instant and then called back with a single command.

From these profound and inscrutable methods, it was clear that this young man was far more terrifying than they could imagine.

"Uncle Ancestor Tiger..." Mo Tongfeng called out softly.

Mo Shanhu’s face was pale as he stared intently at Ye Xuan, then glanced at Mo Yunchui, who was still cultivating. He spoke slowly, "If Your Excellency has any grievances with my Mo family, you may speak to me. Please also elaborate on the matter of young Yun Chui. Here in the Mo family, I still have some say."

He didn’t know what Ye Xuan’s purpose was, but since Ye Xuan was standing on Mo Yunchui’s side, it indicated that this matter was very likely related to Mo Yunchui.

Ultimately, it was essential to ascertain the other party’s intentions.

However, it was a pity that Ye Xuan had no intention of conversing with Mo Shanhu.

So what if he was an old monster who had lived more than ninety thousand years?

He himself had lived through endless ages.

He was waiting for someone stronger from the Mo family to appear.

Someone who would recognize the ink jade ring in his hand.

Clearly, Mo Shanhu did not meet the criteria.

Seeing that Ye Xuan remained silent, Mo Shanhu had no choice but to say, "I have already informed the elder, and in no more than the time it takes an incense stick to burn, he will arrive. At that time, Your Excellency can speak to the elder. However, I still hope Your Excellency will not act rashly; my Mo family is not unreasonable, and we can have a reasonable discussion."

Having witnessed Ye Xuan’s ability, Mo Shanhu did not dare to be negligent.

Ye Xuan’s eyes were slightly closed, and his expression was calm, showing no intention of responding.

Thunderous roars————

At this moment, Mo Yunchui stopped his cultivation, apparently hitting a bottleneck and ultimately failing to break through to the Saint King Realm.

But his strength had reached the Half-step Saint King, which was extremely formidable.

"That was exhilarating!"

Mo Yunchui opened his eyes, his spirit bright and vivid.

The Demon God of Qingtian Town automatically vanished at this moment.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye, for your guidance!"

Excitement colored Mo Yunchui’s eyes as he rose to his feet and bowed deeply to Ye Xuan at his side.

I never expected that by a twist of fortune, I would advance to a Half-step Saint King this round. With time, I could even break through to the Saint King Realm.

"Mm," Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

"Eh..."

It was only at this moment that Mo Yunchui noticed that there seemed to be a lot more people on the scene.

Mo Yunli, and quite a few Elders.

And...

Mo Shanhu—the Eastern Desolate Demon Slaughter!

"Mo Yunchui pays respects to the Ancestor!"

Seeing Mo Shanhu, Mo Yunchui was suddenly startled, then immediately his expression became solemn. His large sleeves fluttered as he bent over to give a respectful greeting.

Upon seeing this, Mo Shanhu couldn’t help but bitterly smile and said, "Yun Chui, what exactly is going on here?"

Mo Yunchui straightened up and examined Mo Shanhu carefully, only to find that Mo Shanhu had suffered serious injuries, his breath was unstable, and he seemed to be fixed in mid-air, unable to move.

This caused a great shock to Mo Yunchui.

Could it be that even Ancestor Mo Shanhu had been suppressed by Mr. Ye!?

Mo Yunchui was profoundly shaken.

"Ancestor, I was likewise forced into a desperate situation..." Mo Yunchui sighed and recounted all that had transpired.

When Mo Shanhu heard about these events, his expression gradually turned ugly.

In contrast, Mo Tongfeng and Mo Yunli turned pale with fear, trembling uncontrollably.

"You two have really done splendidly!" Mo Shanhu was seething with anger. If not for being immobilized by Ye Xuan, he would have wished to directly smash Mo Tongfeng and Mo Yunli to death!

Just reaching the Saint King Realm, do you start throwing your weight around? Abuse power for personal gains?

The great Mo family, with its inheritance lasting for millions of years, if our family is full of such scoundrels, how could it grow strong?

With such a trend growing, it would be inevitable for the Mo family to decline.

It could be said that this matter was already criminal!

As a patriarch of the Mo family, Mo Shanhu knew better than anyone the adage "a thousand-mile dike is destroyed by an anthill"!

Fortunately, Yun Chui actually knew someone as extraordinary as Ye Xuan; otherwise, this matter might have been concealed indefinitely.

And he probably wouldn’t have appeared here today.

Seeing the angered Mo Shanhu, Mo Tongfeng and Mo Yunli became silent as cicadas in winter, suddenly finding themselves unable to utter a word in retort.

Although Mo Shanhu was suppressed there, the terrifying deterrence he exuded was already unbearable for them.

Mo Shanhu withdrew his angry gaze and then looked at Mo Yunchui with an apologetic tone, "Yun Chui, this is where our Mo family has wronged you. Rest assured, I will see justice done for you."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yunchui bowed with his hands folded in front and said, "Thank you, Ancestor!"

Mo Shanhu then looked towards Ye Xuan, smiling wryly and helplessly, "Young Master Ye, I beg you to quell your anger. This whole matter is a misunderstanding."

Mo Yunchui also looked towards Ye Xuan.

Unfortunately, Ye Xuan showed no sign of paying attention.

Seeing this, Mo Shanhu could not figure out what Ye Xuan was thinking, but he knew what he needed to do.

"You unworthy descendants, all of you come in here!" roared Mo Shanhu thunderously.

In an instant, the faces of the Mo family’s upper echelon outside Mo Chenliang’s residence turned pale with fright at his shout.

"Ancestor, this is not just!"

At this moment, an elder from Mo Yunli’s faction couldn’t hold back his grief and anger, roaring, "While Mo Yunchui occupied the position, internal strife never ceased within our Mo family; their struggles even once brought our family to the brink of danger, and after the internal fight, Mo Yunchui disappeared for twenty years, throughout which it was Elder Brother Mo Yunli who managed the family affairs. Why should Mo Yunchui return to the position of Family Head as soon as he comes back?!"

"Yes, why should he?"

Other dissatisfied voices also erupted in disgruntled roars.

"Why?" Mo Yunchui began to laugh, his laugh containing a thread of coldness.

The terrifying pressure of a Half-step Saint King burst forth in an instant.

"Because I, Mo Yunchui, am known as the Eastern Desolate Demon Slaughter. Is this reason sufficient?"

(PS: Old Ghost seems to have overestimated his own recovery abilities, sitting for two hours and feeling a bit uncomfortable...)
