The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 615 - 614 The Matter is Settled

Chapter 615: Chapter 614 The Matter is Settled

Mo Yan pondered upon hearing the words, as if realizing something for the first time.

It seemed to be true...

Not long after the ancestor of Qian Kun, the Holy Treasure could not be opened, and at that time, the Mo family relied heavily on the Demon Realm.

As time went by, the Mo family became inseparable from the Demon Realm.

This appeared to be a good thing, but it actually harbored a great hidden danger.

Mr. Ye’s words today jolted Mo Yan into realization.

"I have learned a lot." Mo Yan respectfully bowed to Ye Xuan in gratitude.

"Let’s go."

With a call, Ye Xuan dismissed the Ancient Divine Gate Method and the Divine Gate, and the powerful aura rapidly faded, returning to the normal level of the Ninth Layer of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.

However, the True Qi within Ye Xuan’s body was almost depleted.

This battle relied more on the ink jade ring, the old ghost’s willow strip, the Ancient Divine Gate Method he mastered, as well as the Tree God, the Chaos Ghost Fang, and his own Invincible Emperor Soul.

His cultivation alone could not withstand such a great battle.

It was only because his Taoist Body had entered the Miao Xuan Stage that he hadn’t exploded and died.

Especially the Ancient Divine Gate Method, which greatly tested the strength of one’s physique.

This method of cultivation was extremely ancient.

In the present world, it was no longer practiced by anyone.

To be precise, the Ancient Divine Gate Method had long been lost.

The Divine Gate of the past actually involved creating one’s own Divine Gate, within which one could construct one’s power.

This was the same principle as establishing the Daoist Platform.

But as times changed, the Ancient Divine Gate Method was replaced by the new Divine Gate Method.

The new Divine Gate Method, upon opening the Divine Gate, could communicate with the Spirit of the Void Divine Realm and quickly amplify one’s strength.

In this aspect, the Ancient Divine Gate Method could not compare.

But similarly, the advantages of the Ancient Divine Gate Method were beyond what the new Divine Gate could measure up to.

Previously, when Ye Xuan imparted the Ancient Divine Gate Method to Li Kuangtu, it allowed Li Kuangtu to utilize it and annihilate the Netherworld Guides.

This was something the new Divine Gate Method could never achieve.

Ye Xuan commanded too many of these long-lost ancient techniques.

For example, when Ye Xuan had just entered the Demon Realm yesterday, faced with an ambush, he not only used Taiyi True Water and Hand Palm Thunder but also another ancient technique called the General Summoning Spell.

In a distant era, there were cultivators who could summon Divine Generals from mountains and seas with a single spell, wielding godlike power to mold earth and fill seas.

There were paper machers who could create all things with a single piece of paper, one paper for one thing.

There were Coffin Carriers who traversed the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, burying coffins in the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

There were Corpse Carriers who emerged from the Emperor’s Burial Ground, carrying Heavenly Corpses, invincible in every direction.

There were...

Ye Xuan, who had lived through aeons, had seen far beyond what others could imagine, and what he mastered was not something ordinary people could glimpse.

"Mr. Ye!"

When Ye Xuan and Mo Yan landed at the exit of the Demon Realm, the strong members of the Mo family came to greet them one after another.

"Did you really kill the Demon Lord?" Little Meng Chan’s complexion had improved a lot; she asked Ye Xuan as soon as she could.

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly, "It was just a mere Demon Lord, nothing worth killing."

Little Meng Chan couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "I don’t believe you."

Ye Xuan glanced at Little Meng Chan with a smirk, "You’ve used the ’Chan’ character twice and ’Meng’ once this time; you must be showing a strong front but are actually spent. Shouldn’t you return to the Meng family soon?"

This battle was a major victory for Ye Xuan.

But for Little Meng Chan and those Mo family Guard Generals, it was a different outcome.

For the Demon Generals and Guard Generals, it was certainly a catastrophic blow since they had been wiped out.

For Little Meng Chan, it was a Pyrrhic victory; she too was not lightly wounded.

However, with the previous help of Ye Xuan, the Immortal, Little Meng Chan was only temporarily weakened. Once she had recovered, she would be able to regain her strength.

Little Meng Chan also understood this and was not at all panicky, "No hurry, I even thought about joining you to Hengduan Mountain."

"You want to go to Hengduan Mountain? I’m afraid it must have taken a lot to even come to the Mo family," sneered Ye Xuan.

For the Meng Family, Little Meng Chan was of great importance; they would definitely not allow her to enter Hengduan Mountain.

Compared to the Demon Realm, Hengduan Mountain was a truly perilous area.

It was also a famous Forbidden Land in the East Desolation Domain.

With Little Meng Chan’s current strength, the Meng family would never allow her to appear in Hengduan Mountain.

"Sigh, those people are really stubborn to the extreme; if only they could be like you." Little Meng Chan sighed, knowing that what Ye Xuan said was true. The Meng family would not allow her to go to Hengduan Mountain; she was only speaking rhetorically.

Besides, she had no need to go to Hengduan Mountain.

"Elder, may I rest in the Mo family for a couple of days before leaving?" Little Meng Chan turned to Mo Yan behind Ye Xuan and said with a bow.

"That’s not a problem; the Meng family and our Mo family have always been close," Mo Yan said with a slight smile.

This time, little Meng Chan was fortunate not to have come to harm, otherwise the Mo family would have had trouble explaining.

It was a good thing to have little Meng Chan stay at the Mo family residence a couple more days.

"Many thanks." Little Meng Chan clasped his hands in gratitude.

It was a perfectly normal act, but in the eyes of others, it seemed particularly adorable.

After all, little Meng Chan looked only about seven or eight years old at the moment, dressed in red and with two small buns in his hair.

"Mr. Ye, it was our Mo family’s responsibility this time, please mete out punishment." Mo Yunchui took hurried steps to arrive in front of Ye Xuan, bowed deeply, and spoke with considerable shame.

The Demon Realm had always been regarded as the Mo family’s territory.

Yet, such an incident had occurred on their turf, which was a source of great shame for him as the head of the Mo family.

"Just be more careful next time." Ye Xuan did not lay any blame.

This matter didn’t really affect him negatively, and in fact offered some benefits, so naturally, there was no need for blame.

"Let’s go."

Ye Xuan called out to little Meng Chan and took the lead in walking out of the exit of the Demon Realm.

Little Meng Chan followed suit.

"Mountain Tiger and little Peng stay behind to assist young Yunchui with the aftermath," Mo Yan said, then followed as well.

Mo Shenchuan and Mo Jianghuai followed after Mo Yan.

Mo Yunchui and the others stayed behind to manage the aftermath.

Mountain Tiger and another elder of the Mo family—Mo Peng—also stayed behind to guard against any contingency.

"We bid farewell to Mr. Ye and the venerable Ancestor Mo!"

The many strong warriors of the Mo family gave their salutations one after another.

Shortly after Ye Xuan and the others had vanished, only then did the crowd straighten up.

They exchanged looks, each seeing the shock and disbelief on the other’s faces.

Although they had earlier witnessed Ye Xuan’s terrifying capabilities, they never imagined the demon army, numbering in the billions within the Demon Realm, would be single-handedly held back by Ye Xuan, let alone the many he slaughtered.

Among them were six of the top ten Demon Emperors.

Of the four surviving Demon Emperors, the Gray Wolf Demon Emperor had been rendered nearly incapacitated.

Of the top ten Demon Emperors, three tenths were gone.

In the future, among the peak-level Demon Emperors, only the Sick Dragon Demon Emperor and the Fire Demon Emperor remained.

The demon race was overwhelmingly defeated in this battle.

Yet in this battle, the Mo family had done barely anything; they were only responsible for the aftermath.

The only one who could be said to have contributed was perhaps Ancestor Mo himself.

However, they did not know that when Mo Yan faced the Demon Lord, he didn’t accomplish much either; realizing he could not match the Demon Lord’s true power, he even prepared to retreat. Then, with a backhand move, Ye Xuan suppressed the Demon Lord.

Without Ye Xuan, everyone from the Mo family who had entered the Demon Realm would have perished.

This was no exaggeration.

But all this remained unknown to them.

Had they known, the shock would have been even greater.

However, that was enough, now every high-ranking member of the Mo family dared not show even a hint of disrespect towards Ye Xuan.

They revered him as if he were a deity!

————

These two days were destined to be extraordinary for the Mo family.

But for the outside world, they were just two ordinary days.

All the major forces in the East Desolation Domain were preparing for the matter of Hengduan Mountain.

With less than half a month left before the opening of Hengduan Mountain, some forces had already started to make their move.

The distant Emperor Immortal Sect was among them.

This time, Sword Saint Ning Zongtang personally led the team, with Zhou Youwei and many young disciples following behind, setting out towards Hengduan Mountain.

Before departure, Jiang Jing inevitably had a litany of cautions and instructions, telling Zhou Youwei to be very careful.

Watching Zhou Youwei, Zhou Bingyi, the two sisters, and many young disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect leave, Jiang Jing felt poignant.

Youwei and Bingyi had grown up.

The roads they took were leading them farther and farther away from home.

As parents, there was always concern when one’s children were far away.

However, Jiang Jing was unusually free from worry.

Because she knew that behind Hengduan Mountain, Ye Xuan was present, and with him, everything was trivial.

(ps: The Demon Realm segment was really tough to write, but no worries, it’s finally over, and my Youwei is coming, awoo...)
