The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 668 - 667 Hengduan Mountain

Chapter 668: Chapter 667 Hengduan Mountain

"Is no one going?" the Fierce Sun Saint narrowed his eyes, a cold glint suddenly appearing.

The disciples of the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect, upon hearing this, remained silent, saying nothing.

"I’ll go."

A red-robed youth with sharp, sword-like eyebrows and well-defined features stepped forward from the crowd, carrying a trace of sternness.

"Elder Brother Feng..."

Seeing the red-robed youth, many disciples’ expressions changed slightly, with a hint of incredulity.

"Feng Dongbing, you cannot go," an elder immediately said in a heavy tone.

The Fierce Sun Saint watched Feng Dongbing step forward without speaking, but was particularly surprised in his heart.

In the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect, Feng Dongbing was also a rather famous talent with a promising future.

This time, he was also chosen to join the team and enter Hengduan Mountain.

Logically speaking, talents with a bright future like him should cherish their own lives greatly. Yet knowing there was a risk to his life, he still chose to step forward.

It was, without a doubt, completely unexpected.

"What reason do I have not to go?" Feng Dongbing asked calmly.

That question left the elder at a loss for words.

Could he really say that going there would mean a nine in ten chance of death and that someone else should go? Wouldn’t that be disheartening to the others?

"In any case, you cannot go," the elder could only reprimand.

"Someone has to go." Feng Dongbing shook his head, ignoring the elder, and flew towards the entrance of Hengduan Mountain.

In fact, to send people to investigate was not exclusive to the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect; other forces also sent people to investigate the situation.

Hundreds of cultivators set out for the entrance of Hengduan Mountain.

However, compared to those Heavenly Human Realm cultivators who went before, they were much more cautious. As they approached the entrance of Hengduan Mountain, they slowed down, their expressions solemn.

"There’s no need to investigate anymore. The oppression of the Heavenly Dao here still exists," Feng Dongbing suddenly said aloud.

As his voice echoed, the other cultivators also stopped in their tracks.

"Let’s all go back," Feng Dongbing said, giving the entrance of Hengduan Mountain a deep look.

After a moment’s hesitation, the others also chose to retreat.

They could all feel the terrifying oppression of the Heavenly Dao, as if it was about to crush them on the spot.

"The oppression of the Heavenly Dao still exists, and the entrance has not opened," Feng Dongbing returned to the group and spoke slowly.

"Where exactly did those guys go?" This left everyone confused and perplexed.

It was too bizarre.

If the entrance of Hengduan Mountain hadn’t opened and the oppression of the Heavenly Dao was still present, why had Ye Xuan and the others disappeared?

It made no sense at all.

This question was also the mystery shared by everyone.

Especially those who had entered Hengduan Mountain before, found it even more incomprehensible.

"Could it be that those guys are dead?" someone whispered.

"Impossible, Ye Xuan clearly knew that Hengduan Mountain had not opened and that the oppression of the Heavenly Dao was still there; he definitely wouldn’t have gone to his death. Moreover, the few Heavenly Human Realm cultivators who just died were clearly very different from Ye Xuan and his group!"

Such discussions arose continuously.

The disappearance of Ye Xuan and his group was distinctly different from that of the later Heavenly Human Realm cultivators who charged forward.

Ye Xuan and the others seemed to have stepped into another place and disappeared into thin air.

Those later cultivators who rushed forward were instead exploded on the spot, leaving no bones behind.

The gruesome scene was witnessed by all.

This was precisely the part that baffled everyone at present.

Song Qilin watched as Ye Xuan and the others disappeared, and as the major forces sent people to investigate, he squinted his eyes, thinking back to Huang Yue’s words.

Others would die if they went, but Ye Xuan and his group had not.

There must be secrets unknown to others here.

After pondering for a moment, Song Qilin decided not to dwell on the issue any longer.

Everyone has their own little secrets; it’s nothing unusual.

Just be at peace with yourself, and wait for Hengduan Mountain to open.

"Damn it, what kind of secret is this guy hiding..."

At the Red Sparrow Institute’s end, Ye Qingyue couldn’t help but feel some indignation upon seeing that scene.

"Brother Ye has great abilities," Lei Mingze exclaimed.

Qu Zhongyuan remained silent on the side, but deep down, he very much agreed with Lei Mingze’s words.

Ye Xuan, indeed, had great abilities.

And those abilities were beyond imagination.

Otherwise, how could Ye Xuan have killed his ancestral master?

Involuntarily, Qu Zhongyuan recalled the words that the Sovereign of the Sect, True Person Red Lotus, said to him before departing.

Remember, at any time, under any circumstances, do not become his enemy!

Even the East Desolate Ten Dominators aren’t enough to invoke such fear in the Red Sparrow Institute, right?

Qu Zhongyuan’s gaze wandered.

——————

Speaking of Ye Xuan and his group.

At the entrance to Hengduan Mountain, Ye Xuan had used a secret technique to lead the people with him into Hengduan Mountain ahead of time, directly avoiding the dangers at the entrance.

As everyone knows, to enter Hengduan Mountain, one must wait for the Heavenly Dao’s suppressive force to dissipate, and then traverse the winding mountain path to delve into Hengduan Mountain before they can access the world inside.

Many people will die on that winding mountain path.

Ye Xuan, however, led Zhou Youwei and others, directly bypassing that path and entering the interior of Hengduan Mountain.

This method was nothing short of astounding.

Upon entering Hengduan Mountain, everyone followed Ye Xuan’s instructions and did not wander about recklessly; instead, they waited in place for Ye Xuan’s descent.

Zhou Youwei, who arrived first, looked around and found herself in the midst of deep mountain greenery, surrounded by tall trees that towered into the clouds, blocking out the sunlight.

The place they were in was a small flat clearing amidst the woods.

As she surveyed her surroundings, Zhou Youwei’s hand rested on the hilt of the Divine Sun Sword, ready to unsheathe it at any moment.

Her lord had said that whenever one steps into any unknown place, the first thing to do is to hold a sense of reverence and be on one’s guard.

The silence all around was terrifying, without a single sound.

For a dense forest, this was highly abnormal.

Zhou Youwei stayed vigilant.

The rest of the group did not wander either, staying put and silent, waiting.

Everyone was looking around.

"This is indeed Hengduan Mountain!" said the senior cultivators from the Eternal Mountain Ye Family and the Mo family who had come. After surveying their surroundings, they were overtaken by a mixture of shock and awe.

They had been to Hengduan Mountain three thousand years ago, so they knew what it looked like.

This place was definitely the same as it had been when they entered Hengduan Mountain back then!

They had actually entered Hengduan Mountain ahead of schedule!

This was something they had never imagined.

Previously, even though they all believed what Ye Xuan had said, deep down, they actually didn’t believe it.

But now that they had truly reached this place, they found that everything was real.

Thinking of this, their reverence for Ye Xuan grew even deeper.

The son must be a divine person!

Huang Yue was the last to arrive. As soon as he entered, his expression grew somber.

He could sense things that others could not.

That feeling was very frightening...

It was as if some terrifying creature could emerge any moment, sending chills down one’s spine!

Woom————

Just then, the void behind them twisted, and immediately after, Ye Xuan descended.

To Huang Yue’s astonishment, that terrifying feeling disappeared in the instant Ye Xuan appeared...
