The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 643 - 642: Profound Meaning

Chapter 643: Chapter 642: Profound Meaning

The conflict between Ye Xuan’s party and the people of the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect came swiftly and disappeared just as quickly.

Even many cultivators outside Hengduan Mountain hadn’t realized what had happened.

By the time they collected their wits, it was all over.

The outcome truly shocked them.

"My god, where did these people come from, to be so arrogant, daring to confront the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect?"

"It’s not just a confrontation, the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect took a big loss, and even their Mechanical Divine Phoenix was slain."

"These guys are simply too terrifying. The Mechanical Divine Phoenix represents the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect. Isn’t this move equivalent to declaring war on them?"

"You can’t really say that, after all, it was the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect who made the first move..." said a cultivator.

"Are you joking, brother? That’s the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect, one of the East Desolate Ten Dominators, what does it matter if they struck first?" another cultivator scoffed.

"So just because they’re one of the East Desolate Ten Dominators, they can attack others at will?" the previous cultivator retorted with some dissatisfaction.

"Sorry, but the East Desolate Ten Dominators do have the right to attack others at will, because in this East Desolation Domain, their word is law!"

"..."

Many people engaged in heated discussions.

About the battle between Ning Zongtang and Elder Pang, few people had managed to catch a clear view, only a handful of top-tier powerhouses saw bits and pieces, and they did not join the discussion but instead furrowed their brows in thought.

They pondered over the identity of the old man wrapped in an old cloak, with a crippled hand.

Who dared to challenge the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect and possessed such strength?

His swordsmanship was extraordinary...

Could it be the Li Mountain Sword Pavilion?

Impossible. If it were the Li Mountain Sword Pavilion, there couldn’t be so many disciples. The Li Mountain Sword Pavilion usually only has one person leave the mountain, always alone.

Then who could it be?

Many people speculated about the origins of Ning Zongtang.

Some were also scared by the strength displayed by Zhou Youwei.

They could all see that Zhou Youwei was young, yet her cultivation was in the Life Palace Realm, and the power she burst forth with even greatly surpassed that of the Life Palace Realm, which was the most terrifying!

Such a character would definitely be one of the monstrous geniuses in the East Desolate!

Who would have known that Ning Zongtang and Zhou Youwei were from the Emperor Immortal Sect of the Southern Domain?

The opening of Hengduan Mountain usually served as the stage for the prodigies of the East Desolate.

Naturally, no one from the lesser Southern Domain would be qualified to go.

At most, some loose cultivators not knowing their own limits would come to try their luck.

But there were some in the crowd who recognized Ye Xuan and the others.

Like the Saint Heir of the Fierce Battle Sect and the Saint Heir of Qianyuan Cave Heaven.

They had arrived at this location even earlier than Ye Xuan, and they noticed Ye Xuan the moment he arrived.

Previously, at the Mo family’s Heavenly Pride Festival, they had already suffered a setback in front of Ye Xuan. Seeing Ye Xuan again, they did not approach him.

When they saw Ye Xuan’s party stirring up trouble with the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect, they laughed coldly.

"This guy can’t stay out of trouble wherever he goes, even daring to offend the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect, truly courting death."

The Saint Heir of Qianyuan Cave Heaven said with an indifferent expression.

The Saint Heir of the Fierce Battle Sect took a large gulp of wine, his eyes shining with a cold glint, and spoke in a deep and resonant voice, "Once the Little Peng King and the others arrive, this guy won’t be able to escape his fate."

"That’s hard to say. I reckon it’s more likely we’ll move against him inside Hengduan Mountain. After all, by then the Mo family will have arrived, and they will definitely protect him. Though there are significant conflicts of interest between the East Desolate Ten Dominators, they won’t go as far as to turn openly hostile." The Saint Heir of Qianyuan Cave Heaven shook his head slightly.

They were all well aware that once Hengduan Mountain opened, only cultivators below the Saint Realm could enter it.

By then, each prodigy would exhibit immense strength, and battling each other was inevitable.

But before entering Hengduan Mountain, the situation was different, as many great figures at the Saint Realm would escort their disciples to the location.

If a fight broke out outside, once those powerful figures intervened, the situation would naturally change.

"Once inside Hengduan Mountain, the number of people wanting to kill him will increase—Medicine Pavilion, Heavenly Dragon Dynasty, Six Demon Sect, Long Family, and now that includes the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect. One Mo family simply can’t protect him," the Saint Heir of the Fierce Battle Sect said with a smirk.

They were eager to witness that moment.

After all, they had suffered setbacks at the hands of Ye Xuan before and dearly wished for his immediate demise.

"Who are those guys?"

On Ning Zongtang’s gourd, Zhu Xiaofei and the others were still somewhat puzzled.

Elder Pang’s sudden move was completely unforeseen by them.

Fortunately, their master Ning possessed formidable strength and reacted instantly, dissipating that Qi strike and then countering, launching the opposition into the air followed by going for the kill.

The senior brother led his junior sister in an assault upon the Mechanical Divine Phoenix.

All these actions may seem lengthy, but in reality, they happened as quickly as they ended.

By the time Ye Xuan and the others had returned to the gourd-shaped liquor vessel, Zhu Xiaofei and the rest had just begun to react.

"One of the East Desolate Ten Dominators, the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect," Ning Zongtang remarked casually after taking a sip of Bitter Crossing Wine.

"What?!"

"The East Desolate Ten Dominators? What kind of level is that?!"

Everyone was shocked by Ning Zongtang’s words, their mouths agape in disbelief.

Even though it was their first time in the East Desolate, they grasped the significance of the term ’Ten Dominators’ and realized it must refer to an extremely formidable presence.

Does that mean they had already offended one of the East Desolate Overlords just now?

"Senior brother, is this true?" Zhu Xiaofei’s face paled as he turned to Ye Xuan.

The others also looked toward Ye Xuan, hoping for a different answer.

"What Ten Dominators, they’re just a minor artifact-refining sect," Ye Xuan said with a grin, clearly unconcerned.

"See, I knew it." At his words, everyone sighed in relief and smiled.

If Zhu Xiaofei and the others learned that the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect was indeed one of the East Desolate Ten Dominators and that aside from them, other Dominators were also enemies of Ye Xuan, they would probably be scared witless on the spot.

Ye Xuan, however, had no intention of saying more.

Letting them know too much might not be a good thing.

Sometimes, ignorance can be a blessing.

At least it doesn’t bring as much psychological pressure.

"Little Ye Xuan, I knew you would make an outrageous demand, but I never thought you’d ask them outright for their old furnace. This time, they’re probably going to be fixated on you," Ning Zongtang pulled Ye Xuan aside and said in a low voice.

"Outrageous demand? They should be grateful that I didn’t ask them for their Quenching Device Divine Fire," Ye Xuan replied indifferently.

Ning Zongtang’s lips twitched uncontrollably, "You, you’re really something..."

Quenching Device Divine Fire?

This was the foundation of their sect, even more precious than those three old furnaces. You really dare to think big.

With a heavy gulp of the Bitter Crossing Wine, Ning Zongtang looked toward the formidable Hengduan Mountain and said softly, "Once we enter the Hengduan Mountain, everything is in your hands."

Truth be told, he was rather worried.

If too many people set their sights on them, it would make moving within Hengduan Mountain extremely difficult.

But with his current realm, he wouldn’t be able to enter the Hengduan Mountain, and at that time, it would all depend on Ye Xuan.

"Don’t worry," Ye Xuan said with a slight smile, looking at the wine-drinking Ning Zongtang with ease, "You seem to be troubled."

"It’s nothing," Ning Zongtang replied with an easy smile,

"Some things don’t need to be rushed. Taking it step by step is more stable," Ye Xuan hinted.

Ning Zongtang glanced at Ye Xuan, and with a hearty smile, said, "Don’t worry, the old man gets it."

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly, "Understanding is useless. You must also act accordingly."

Ning Zongtang fell silent.

What the two of them were discussing, no one knew the significance, but they both understood each other very well.

"Of course, if you feel that some things must be done, then go ahead, as long as you have no regrets," Ye Xuan added one last comment.

Ning Zongtang tossed over a wine gourd, laughing, "How about a drink?"

"It’s that Bitter Crossing Wine you recommended to the old man, quite good."

Ye Xuan took the Bitter Crossing Wine, popped the gourd open, and took a deep gulp.

Ning Zongtang laughed loudly at the sight, "Refreshing!"

Zhu Xiaofei and the others watching from behind were puzzled by the scene, unsure of what to think.

Ye Xuan finished the Bitter Crossing Wine in one go, crushing the gourd in his hand, his gaze icy cold.

The matter with the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect.

It seemed to start merely with the Narrow Blade Winter Thunder he brought out, but it wasn’t that simple.

Both the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect and the Medicine Pavilion were under the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty.

Even though there were tensions between the sect and the pavilion, they both sided with the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty.

The attack against him by the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty was now well-known throughout the East Desolate.

Would the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect not be aware of this matter?

As for whether or not they knew his identity, that didn’t require a second thought.

That Elder Pang, could he really be as naive as he seemed?
