The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 634 - 633: Arrival

Chapter 634: Chapter 633: Arrival

"Young Master Ye, I have some questions I wish to ask you," Gu Shimin said with a serious expression.

"Ask away," Ye Xuan replied, massaging his temples.

"What kind of relationship exists between you and the Red Sparrow Institute?" Gu Shimin asked earnestly.

She had just clearly sensed the terrifying anger within Ye Xuan—the murderous intent it carried made her shiver to the bone.

Such intense anger couldn’t have arisen without cause; it must be due to the desecration of the Ancestor Master Tomb.

But if an ancestral tomb is plundered, the Red Sparrow Institute should be the ones enraged. Why then was Ye Xuan so furious? This puzzled Gu Shimin.

"I have nothing whatsoever to do with the Red Sparrow Institute," Ye Xuan sneered at Gu Shimin.

Gu Shimin was taken aback.

"But my ancestors have a major connection with your Ancestor Master," Ye Xuan said, telling a half-truth that was not quite a lie.

As a member of the Ye Family, he was also an ancestor of the Ye Family.

So, this half-truth was not really a lie.

"Are you referring to the Eternal Demon Emperor, Ye Bugu?" Gu Shimin asked instinctively.

Among the ancestors of the Ye Family, the most terrifying was undoubtedly the Eternal Demon Emperor, Ye Bugu, also known as Ye Bugu the Demon Emperor.

"Were they from the same era?" Ye Xuan countered.

Gu Shimin realized her mistake and, smiling bitterly, said, "It seems not..."

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You need not probe further. In short, this is the situation: I will personally retrieve the skeletal remains of your Ancestor Master."

However, Gu Shimin shook her head and said, "This matter also concerns the Red Sparrow Institute, and we absolutely cannot stand idly by."

Even though Ye Xuan said that, the Red Sparrow Institute would never stay out of this matter.

The Red Sparrow Fairy was their founding Ancestor Master!

Her stolen bones were a disgrace to the Red Sparrow Institute.

If the Red Sparrow Institute showed no reaction, it would be a betrayal of the foundation their Ancestor Master laid down!

As one of the current highest-ranking elders in the Red Sparrow Institute, she absolutely had to intervene in this matter.

"Is your Red Sparrow Institute a match for Double Emperor Mountain?" Ye Xuan inquired.

"Even if we are not a match for Double Emperor Mountain, there are things that must be done, even at the risk of death," Gu Shimin said resolutely.

Ye Xuan’s gaze fell on Gu Shimin, and he said with a faint smile, "Your Ancestor Master would be very happy to know he has descendants like you."

Gu Shimin shook her head and said, "In fact, this is our dereliction of duty."

Ye Xuan averted his gaze towards the distance, speaking slowly, "In that case, you’d best listen to me. I will take care of this matter, and all you need to do is gather information on Double Emperor Mountain. Do not act rashly and alert the enemy. If we make a mistake this time, I might truly level your Red Sparrow Institute..."

As he spoke, Ye Xuan was already stepping away.

Double Emperor Mountain, Liu Xihua.

He would remember that.

After he recovered his strength at Hengduan Mountain, he would have to meet this person.

As long as he found out who was responsible, Ye Xuan wouldn’t panic.

What he feared most was not being able to identify the culprit, which would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But now, knowing that it was Liu Xihua from Double Emperor Mountain, a visit there would suffice.

As for the True Bone of the little Red Sparrow...

It boasted terrifying power, which persisted even after so many years. Those people wanting to tamper with the little Red Sparrow’s True Bone, it wouldn’t be that simple.

You see, devil cultivators like the little Red Sparrow usually refine a single True Bone in their lifetime.

This True Bone was like the True Artifact refined by human cultivators, intertwined with their life and imbued with indelible power.

To think of refining the little Red Sparrow’s True Bone?

Such wishful thinking.

In two months’ time, he planned to accompany Youwei to the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect for a final battle, and he would conveniently visit Double Emperor Mountain.

Gu Shimin watched Ye Xuan leave, her eyes reflecting a complex mood.

Yet she also understood Ye Xuan’s meaning. The Red Sparrow Institute was no match for Double Emperor Mountain. If they acted hastily and alarmed the enemy, what would they do if they couldn’t retrieve the Ancestor Master’s remains?

Despite her unwillingness, Gu Shimin knew what Ye Xuan said was true.

"We can only do as Young Master Ye suggested—gather information on Double Emperor Mountain first, and leave the rest to him. With Young Master Ye’s strength, even if he went to Double Emperor Mountain, he would certainly be able to protect himself..."

Gu Shimin made up her mind and quickly began to act, gathering intelligence on Double Emperor Mountain with all her might.

Fortunately, the Red Sparrow Institute wasn’t far from Hengduan Mountain, and by passing through the southern cutting point of Hengduan Mountain, one could enter the Central Earth Divine Continent.

The Central Earth Divine Continent was the largest territory among the five domains of Daozhou.

It was much larger than the East Desolate...

————

Although what happened at the Ancestor Master Tomb seemed to have a huge impact, it actually occurred without causing a stir.

The Red Sparrow Institute was not affected at all and continued their martial gathering as usual.

Ye Xuan left alone.

Upon seeing the Flood Dragon Imperial Chariot, Ye Xuan halted his steps and said in a unhurried voice, "Come out."

From behind, a figure hesitated before finally stepping out.

"Young Master Ye."

Qu Zhongyuan looked at Ye Xuan with a complex expression and called out.

"What do you want to say?" Ye Xuan did not turn around.

Qu Zhongyuan clenched his teeth and said in a low voice, "Did Young Master Ye truly kill my esteemed master?"

Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm as he casually said, "Don’t you already have the answer?"

With that, Ye Xuan stepped away.

Qu Zhongyuan watched Ye Xuan leave, his gaze vacant and distraught. With a bitter laugh, he muttered to himself, "I thought I was astute in judging people, but it turns out I was still short-sighted..."

"Young Master Ye is indeed a True Dragon, soaring above the Nine Heavens."

Qu Zhongyuan steadied himself, his complexion pale.

Would he seek revenge?

Of course not.

He had already gotten his answer about his master’s death from the Sovereign of the Sect.

He highly respected the Sovereign of the Sect and believed her words.

If the Sovereign of the Sect said that Young Master Ye couldn’t be blamed, then there was no blame to be had.

Besides, the Sovereign of the Sect also said to never ever provoke Young Master Ye!

With these words, Qu Zhongyuan had already understood a lot.

Young Master Ye was the truly fearsome one!

As for what Qu Zhongyuan was thinking,

Ye Xuan didn’t know, nor did he care to think about it as he walked straight to the Flood Dragon Imperial Chariot.

"Young Master!"

Ye Nan and Ye Bei approached with respect.

"Where’s Xiao Dong?" Ye Xuan asked.

Ye Nan and Ye Bei were surprised and said, "Wasn’t he with you, Young Master?"

Ye Xuan thought for a moment and, guessing that Ye Dong was probably getting along famously with the female disciples of the Red Sparrow Institute, said calmly, "We’ll go to Hengduan Mountain first, let him find us at Hengduan Mountain later."

"Yes, Young Master," Ye Nan and Ye Bei respectfully replied.

Ye Xuan entered the Flood Dragon Imperial Chariot, with Ye Nan at the reins and Ye Bei following. After leaving the Red Sparrow Institute, they flew into the sky dome, heading toward Hengduan Mountain.

After their departure, on the Ancient Boat of the Six Demon Sect parked near where the Flood Dragon Imperial Chariot had been, Mu Yiyang looked pallid and his eyes were fierce, "Once we arrive at Hengduan Mountain, I must have the Young Master properly take care of this guy!"

"To think that someone from the Ye Family would dare to oppose my Six Demon Sect!"

Unfortunately, these words of Mu Yiyang would never reach Ye Xuan.

Of course, Mu Yiyang would not dare to say them to Ye Xuan’s face either.

He had already experienced Ye Xuan’s frightening capability and was still fearful.

Speaking of Ye Xuan, after leaving the Red Sparrow Institute, he journeyed straight to Hengduan Mountain.

Hengduan Mountain, a notoriously treacherous place in the East Desolate, is also a well-known mountain in the East Desolation Domain.

This Hengduan Mountain lies between the East Desolation Domain and the Central Earth Divine Continent, hence its name.

However, naturally, the relationship between the East Desolation Domain and the Central Earth Divine Continent isn’t severed by a mere Hengduan Mountain.

Southward from Hengduan Mountain, close to the Southern Domain, it is naturally severed.

That severed spot serves as a passage between the Central Earth Divine Continent and the East Desolation Domain.

But this time, the entrance to Hengduan Mountain is towards the north.

The journey required only a two days’ travel to reach.

On the way, they began to encounter people from other major powers of the East Desolate.

Seeing the Flood Dragon Imperial Chariot, these cultivators of various powers didn’t dare to cause too much trouble.

The journey was relatively peaceful.

Two days later.

"Young Master, we’ve arrived,"

Ye Nan reported.

The Flood Dragon Imperial Chariot came to a halt on flat ground, in front of which a range of palaces had already been erected.

This was precisely the moving palace complex.

Looking up, one could see Hengduan Mountain.

A glance could not find the edges, nor could one see how tall it truly was.

It was a veritable chasm stretching before them, giving off a terrifying oppressive force!

This, then, was Hengduan Mountain!
