The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 704 - 703: Papermaking Village

Chapter 704: Chapter 703: Papermaking Village

After a moment, Lin Feiyan opened his eyes, his expression had returned to normal, but his gaze and the aura around him had subtly changed.

This change, if not closely observed, was completely undetectable.

"Liu Dali pays respects to senior, please instruct," Liu Dali said.

Lin Feiyan, now possessed by Liu Dali, got up first to pay respects to Ye Xuan, reverently speaking.

By now, Lin Feiyan had been possessed by Liu Dali; the real Lin Feiyan had naturally met his demise.

Ye Xuan slightly nodded and said, "After leaving Hengduan Mountain, do not return to the Sun Swallowing Sect. Although the sect has retired, it has many old monsters. If they find out that Lin Feiyan was possessed by you, you will not have an easy time."

Liu Dali, hearing this, felt a chill in his heart and nodded, "Yes, senior."

To tell the truth, he had planned to continue hiding in the Sun Swallowing Sect for a while longer to see if he could learn more of the sect’s secrets.

But Ye Xuan’s words made him discard that thought. If he really went back to the Sun Swallowing Sect, he feared he would not even know how he died.

"Then in the future, shall I follow by senior’s side?" Liu Dali asked cautiously.

Ye Xuan glanced at Liu Dali and said evenly, "You are not yet qualified."

Liu Dali’s eyelid twitched uncontrollably; after all, he had been a Supreme.

Ye Xuan did not explain but continued slowly, "First restore your strength to the Saint Realm, then make a trip to the Heavenly State."

Liu Dali suddenly looked up, astonished, "Senior, do you want me to return to the Sky Covering Demon Sect?"

Xuanhuang Great World, Nine States Land.

Among them, the Heavenly State was the ancestral land of the Sky Covering Demon Sect back in the day.

The Demon Emperor too, had emerged from the Heavenly State.

The Heavenly State, compared to the Daozhou Land, was even more vast.

Ye Xuan directing him to the Heavenly State made him instantly think of the Sky Covering Demon Sect.

"Senior, the Sky Covering Demon Sect is long gone, there’s no use in me going back," Liu Dali said.

He definitely did not want to return to the Heavenly State anytime soon.

In the Heavenly State, many forces held grievances against members of the Sky Covering Demon Sect because, during its heyday, it acted particularly tyrannically.

Although the Sky Covering Demon Sect had long since disintegrated, if anyone discovered he was from the Sky Covering Demon Sect, they would surely not let him off lightly.

"The Sky Covering Demon Sect is indeed gone, but the legacy of the Demon Emperor still exists," Ye Xuan said slowly.

Liu Dali’s eyes brightened, but he quickly composed himself and said, "The legacy of the great ancestor still exists, but no one knows where ..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Dali suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, "Do you mean to say, senior, that the great ancestor’s legacy is left in the Heavenly State?"

A legacy of an Emperor, that was an astonishing piece of news that, if leaked, would surely shake the Nine States, drawing all mighty ones to the Heavenly State.

"I never said that," Ye Xuan replied with a faint smile.

But Liu Dali had understood Ye Xuan’s meaning and said excitedly, "Very well, I will listen to senior. Once I recover to the Saint Realm, I will immediately return to the Heavenly State."

Ye Xuan said unhurriedly, "Before that, it seems you have forgotten something."

Ye Xuan looked at Liu Dali with a cold expression.

Liu Dali’s smile froze as he looked at Ye Xuan and couldn’t help but show a bitter smile, whispering, "Senior really won’t let me off, will you?"

Ye Xuan countered, "What do you think?"

Liu Dali took a deep breath, understanding Ye Xuan’s intent, and willingly opened his Soul Sea.

Seeing that Liu Dali was sensible, Ye Xuan planted a Dao Seal within Liu Dali’s Soul Sea.

"Now you may leave," Ye Xuan said.

"Yes, senior," Liu Dali, sensing the Dao Seal in his Soul Sea, dared not hold any resentment and respectfully replied.

Soon, Liu Dali turned and left.

After the Dao Seal was planted, Liu Dali had no choice but to obey; otherwise, the Seal would backfire and ultimately cause his death.

This outcome, Liu Dali had actually anticipated early on.

The power Ye Xuan demonstrated truly made him feel despair.

Even though his lingering soul was at the Saint Emperor level, he was nothing more than a fart in front of Ye Xuan.

This, Liu Dali had recognized early on.

He had always harbored a fantasy, hoping that Ye Xuan would not control him.

But reality is reality; what was destined to happen, would indeed happen.

The only good news was that Ye Xuan had not killed him.

Liu Dali was somewhat resigned to this.

After Liu Dali left, Ye Xuan too set off, summoning the golden lion he had encountered earlier when competing for the Fire Swallowing Treasure Bottle as his mount.

Having witnessed Ye Xuan’s might, the golden lion complied with all of Ye Xuan’s commands.

The journey was without words.

Three days later.

Ye Xuan, riding the golden lion, arrived at a solitary peak shrouded in mist.

Upon arriving here, the golden lion was no longer able to move forward, as it felt a fear emanating from its soul.

Ye Xuan did not trouble the golden lion further and ascended the mountain alone.

As he reached the pinnacle, it was as if he stood atop the clouds, enveloped in white mist, completely unable to see in all directions.

Ye Xuan crouched down, placed his right hand on the ground, and uttered softly, "Forgive!"

Hum————

The next moment, the scene completely transformed.

Beneath Ye Xuan’s feet, the solitary peak suddenly shrank to the size of a palm, turning into a white paper mountain in his hand.

The surrounding mist dispersed, and Ye Xuan entered a world picturesque with mountains and waters.

Ye Xuan did not look at the scenery but rather focused his gaze on the people living there.

These people, just like the mortals in the mortal world, toiled from sunrise to sunset in utter tranquility.

This world was false, but these people were real.

They...

Were all descendants of the Paper Macher lineage.

This was also why the Paper Macher did not reveal the mountains and waters usually. You would never imagine that the legendary Paper Macher, appearing just like ordinary mortals.

Ye Xuan walked into the village.

"Who are you?" The village guardian immediately changed his expression and became alert upon seeing a stranger approach, asking Ye Xuan.

"I am looking for Cai Hong’an," Ye Xuan responded.

The guardian was a middle-aged man who, hearing Ye Xuan’s words, stayed composed, yet his heart grew wary.

Cai Hong’an was one of the elders in their village, a former guardian who had protected the Paper Macher village for an untellable length of time.

"Is there something you need? Just tell me," the middle-aged man said gently.

Ye Xuan sized up the middle-aged man, shook his head, and said, "Your Daoist understanding is too shallow. Better to speak with Cai Hong’an directly."

"My Daoist understanding is too shallow?" The middle-aged man suddenly laughed a bit coldly, saying, "Do you know how long I have been guarding this place?"

Ye Xuan spoke softly, "Isn’t it just a few million years? You haven’t even broken through the ten million years threshold."

The middle-aged man was immediately filled with shock and suspicion, staring intently at Ye Xuan and demanded in a deep voice, "Who are you, exactly?!"

This guy, being able to discern his Daoist experience at a glance, was truly frightening.

In the entire village, there were definitely no more than three people who could gauge his Daoist level at a glance!

"Tell Cai Hong’an that Emperor Ye is visiting," Ye Xuan spoke gently.

"Emperor Ye?" The middle-aged man’s pupils shrank slightly, and he sharply inhaled a breath of cold air.

"You know of me?" Ye Xuan smiled.

The middle-aged man looked solemn, saluted with his hands, and said, "Please wait a moment, elder. I will return shortly."

Having said that, he turned and left, his footsteps hastening.

Emperor Ye!

Although he had never left the village, he had heard of Emperor Ye from Elder Cai.

This was a significant presence that the Paper Macher village could not afford to provoke. If such a person appeared, they must be reported immediately.

That was what Elder Cai had told him when he first became the village guardian.

He had always kept it in mind.

Yet, over the millions of years, he had never seen the Emperor Ye.

Until today!

Ye Xuan watched the middle-aged man leave and began to look around at the village entrance.

The village was not large, and it hadn’t changed much from before; however, the people had changed countless times over.

The Paper Macher lineage, apart from talent and effort, also required the ability to endure loneliness.

Many would spend their entire lives within the village.

Even the middle-aged man, who had lived for millions of years, had always spent his time within this village.

This led many of the Paper Macher lineage to grow tired of such a life and choose to become mortals.

Regarding each person’s choice, the Paper Macher lineage never overly interfered.

Thus, the successors became fewer and fewer.

This village, in total, had only a few thousand people at most.

The real Paper Machers were probably only a few dozen.

The rest might know some Paper Binding Skill, but they could not be called Paper Machers.

Just like that yellow dog at the village entrance, it was an embodiment of the Paper Binding Skill.

It looked likely that the middle-aged man had made it...
