The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 590 - 589: Because... My Name is Ye Xuan!

Chapter 590: Chapter 589: Because... My Name is Ye Xuan!

"The Human Clan is invading!"

Shouts erupted one after another.

In an instant, one strong being from the Demon Clan after another assembled.

Inside the palace, who had just been planning to enjoy the captive Meng Chan, Yi Long frowned and looked outside, "What’s going on? Isn’t the Demon Realm exit unstable recently? How did the Mo family people get here?"

"My lord, please wait, I’ll go and check."

One of the Demon Marshals stepped forward, respectfully speaking.

"Go ahead, the sooner this is dealt with, the better. We wouldn’t want this incident to reach the ears of our Demon Lord. It would tarnish the reputation of our Shadow Jiao Demon Emperor."

Yi Long spoke with a hint of impatience.

"Yes, my lord!" That Demon Marshal respectfully took the order and flew out of the great hall.

Boom————

However, the very moment he flew out, he was sent flying back in.

And with him flew another person.

"What?!"

The Demon Marshals inside the hall didn’t have time to react.

Including Yi Long himself, he did not react in time either.

What’s happening?

Yi Long looked up.

But by the time he clearly saw what was happening, his pupils shrank and his expression drastically changed.

"Li Sheng?!"

"How is that possible?!"

"Could it be that old man Mo Yunli from the Mo family has come?"

Yi Long was shocked in his heart.

Because the one who was sent flying back, besides his subordinate, the Demon Marshal, there was also Li Sheng, the silver-haired youth, who had just walked out of the hall not long ago. Now he lay motionless on the ground, his breath faint, obviously knocked unconscious.

Who could have infiltrated the Demon Sect peak silently and instantly taken down a peak Demon Marshal like Li Sheng?

In Yi Long’s view, it could only be Mo Yunli, the current head of the Mo family.

Of course, he did not know that Mo Yunli had died, nor was he aware that Mo Yunchui, the Eastern Desolate Demon Slaughter from twenty years ago, had resumed the position of family head of the Mo family.

And most of all, he did not know that the person who appeared here was Ye Xuan.

"Could it be Mo Yunchui?"

In her prison, Meng Chan secretly guessed.

She had been planning to use her trump card, but had not expected such a change to occur at this moment.

Whoo————

A breeze blew into the great hall.

Inside the Demon Sect peak, the furious roars of numerous members of the Demon Clan all but vanished into thin air.

A chill blew into the hearts of everyone in the hall.

Unbeknownst to them, a black-robed youth had appeared in the hall, and at that moment, was casually watching the red-garbed girl in the prison with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"Stinky Ye Xuan?"

Meng Chan was utterly astonished.

But then, her face turned red and she quickly said, "Don’t look at me like that. There is a big reason, really. Listen to me... uh, just hear me out. This place has law suppression, and I was accidentally suppressed. I was planning to take a nap and then come out, but you came before that happened."

"Yeah, that’s it."

Meng Chan even affirmed it once more.

However, when she saw Ye Xuan’s seemingly amused look, she felt that he definitely didn’t believe her.

Not to mention Ye Xuan, Meng Chan herself didn’t believe it either.

Sigh.

It’s because I’m from the Confucian family, not good at lying.

Now, Stinky Ye Xuan had got something on her again.

Meng Chan sighed heavily.

"Who are you?!" At this moment, Yi Long’s face was filled with fear as he stared intently at Ye Xuan, demanding to know.

Surprisingly, Yi Long was actually speaking the Human Clan’s language, not quite standard, but still intelligible.

Ye Xuan didn’t pay any attention to Yi Long; he walked over to Meng Chan’s prison, scrutinized the crude talismans on it, and showed an expression of realization.

No wonder Meng Chan was locked in that prison; those talismans, despite being crude, had an absolute suppressing effect on her.

Moreover, as Meng Chan couldn’t utilize her Righteousness Circle to its fullest, being a mere cultivator of the Life Palace Realm, she had no way to break free.

After all, Meng Chan had undergone Soldier Disintegration and rebuilt herself, unlike Ye Xuan who was an abnormal being with an invincible Emperor Soul.

Crack crack crack————

With a casual slash, Ye Xuan released a Sword Qi, instantly breaking open the prison.

Meng Chan was freed.

But Meng Chan wasn’t happy at all, instead she sulked.

"Why is it you who came? I thought Mo Yunchui would be here," said little Meng Chan, her voice betraying a hint of nervousness.

Before, she had sworn confidently that she would come alone and even promised to meet in three days.

Now, four days had passed, and she found herself trapped here.

"I had some free time, wanted to kill some Demon Clan members to practice," Ye Xuan said casually.

These words were clearly understood by Yi Long, and his face immediately darkened.

This guy dared to ignore him and even utter such arrogant statements.

Kill Demon Clan members for practice?

Since when had humans, who were nothing more than Blood Food, had the audacity to say such things?

Even the Mo family wouldn’t dare to make such a statement!

But, the sight of Li Sheng, lying on the ground unconscious, along with the endless silence outside, made Yi Long not even dare to open his mouth.

This guy might truly possess the strength he claimed...

Only, why did this fellow seem to be just at the Demon Soldier level?

A guy at his level, he could crush tens of thousands with a flick of his wrist!

"The Human Clan really can’t be judged by common sense..." Yi Long thought to himself. Noticing that Ye Xuan wasn’t paying him any attention, he stealthily crushed a Jade Talisman.

This Jade Talisman, acquired from those guys of the Mo family, could be used for communication.

Every high-ranking Demon Marshal had one, to communicate with higher-ups like the Demon Kings and Demon Emperors.

As for the highest-ranking Demon Lords, only their subordinates, perhaps even Demon Emperors and Demon Kings, could speak with them.

The reason Li Sheng personally brought the orders of the great Demon Lord here wasn’t that the Demon Lord valued him, but because Li Sheng and he were enemies.

Li Sheng was merely using this as an opportunity to show off his power.

Only, who could have expected that coming here would lead to an encounter with this terrifying Human Clan youth?

"He’s sending a message to a Demon King or a Demon Emperor," Little Meng Chan, with her strong perception, instantly realized Yi Long’s subtle actions.

Yi Long’s heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Ye Xuan as if facing a formidable enemy.

"It’s all right, I actually need them to come here," Ye Xuan said with an indifferent smile, seemingly unconcerned.

His presence was twofold, first to save little Meng Chan, and second, to acquire some Demon Pills.

However, Demon Pills are only found in Demon Clan strong beings of the Demon King level or higher, something that the peak of the Demon Sect clearly lacked.

Within this peak of the Demon Sect, the most powerful being was this Yi Long Demon Marshal, a high-ranking Demon Marshal.

"Huh?"

Little Meng Chan, upon hearing this, showed a look of astonishment: "Are you out of your mind? A Demon King level being is a Great Cultivator from the Saint Realm, even comparable to the Saint King level."

"And the Demon Emperor level is even more terrifying."

Yi Long Demon Marshal was also taken aback.

He originally thought Ye Xuan would take action upon learning about his signaling, but Ye Xuan did not. What did this mean?

"Just wait," said Ye Xuan, without any intention to explain further.

"No, wait, if we have to wait, we should do it outside of Demon Sect Peak, otherwise there are laws here that suppress us..." Little Meng Chan hadn’t finished speaking when she suddenly stopped. Looking at Ye Xuan, she said, shocked, "Why aren’t you being suppressed by the laws?"

"Because..." Ye Xuan’s lips curled up slightly, and his dark eyes were as deep as the everlasting night: "I am Ye Xuan."

Because I am Ye Xuan.

Such confidence!

Be it a Demon King or a Demon Emperor, none of them qualified to make me retreat.

This was the confidence of the Undying Night Emperor.

Forget about mere Demon Kings or Demon Emperors, even Demon Lords and Demon Emperors stronger than Demon Masters had fallen by Ye Xuan’s hand.

If he were to retreat due to mere Demon Kings or Emperors, would he still be Ye Xuan?

Where would the Emperor’s Might of the Undying Night Emperor be then?

Little Meng Chan couldn’t understand.

Nor could Yi Long and the other Demon Marshals.

But not understanding was the correct response.

If they all could understand, would Ye Xuan still be Ye Xuan?

Seeing Ye Xuan’s confidence, it seemed little Meng Chan had been influenced as well.

No matter what, before she underwent Soldier Disintegration, she was the first female Saint of the Confucian school—in those days, she possessed an absolute reputation.

Even now, after re-cultivating from Soldier Disintegration, it seemed rather embarrassing to retreat just because of mere Demon Kings and Emperors.

So be it.

Little Meng Chan made up her mind, "Then I will join your madness."

"But before that, I shall exact my revenge for that one arrow!"

Little Meng Chan’s gaze fell upon Yi Long, revealing a sliver of murderous intent.

Upon entering the Demon Sect Peak, she was ambushed by this guy. Already suppressed by the laws, the ambush, and the talisman that suppressed her Confucianism made her constantly constricted.

Now was the time for revenge!
