The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 731 - 730 Emperor Night Peak

Chapter 731: Chapter 730 Emperor Night Peak

Ye Xuan left the great hall alone and made his way toward Emperor Night Peak.

Shortly after Ye Xuan had departed, within the great hall, three ancient presences arrived.

These three ancient presences transformed into three human figures.

There was a young-looking figure, an elderly man with white hair, and a middle-aged man in his prime.

"Master, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster."

Upon seeing these three men, Yuan Kong stood up and paid his respects to the white-haired old man, the middle-aged man, and the young man respectively.

Surprisingly, the youngest-looking one among them was of the highest seniority.

"Has he finally come after all?" the young man squinted slightly as he watched the direction in which Ye Xuan had left and murmured.

"I originally thought it was just a legend, but it turns out he really came." The middle-aged man also spoke.

"I wonder if he can succeed in pulling out the legendary River Soldier." the white-haired old man exclaimed.

"The people of the Revenge Lineage from the Black Blade Sect all obey his command, it shouldn’t be a big problem," Yuan Kong said calmly.

"Hmm?"

As Yuan Kong’s words fell, all three turned their gaze toward him, their eyes flickering with surprise and suspicion.

"Revenge Lineage, Black Blade Sect?!"

The white-haired old man looked at Yuan Kong and said in a deep voice, "Kong’er, do you understand what you are talking about?"

Yuan Kong nodded and replied, "Master, do you still not trust my words? When this young friend came just now, he was accompanied by a woman from the Black Blade Sect of the Revenge Lineage. The murderous intent in that moment, it felt like she wanted to level our Sword Tomb."

"Besides, the one who entered the world from the Mountain God Dao in this life also followed him."

The shock was evident in the eyes of the white-haired old man as he murmured in a low voice, "The Black Blade Sect from the Revenge Lineage, Mountain God Dao... it seems this fellow’s identity is extraordinarily dreadful."

Both the Revenge Lineage of the Black Blade Sect and Mountain God Dao are extremely ancient, their historical depth even surpassing that of the Sword Tomb.

"Let’s first see if this man can pull out the River Soldier," the young man said slowly.

"Mhm." The other three nodded in agreement.

All four of them shared a common identity, having once held the position of Supreme Sect Leader of the Sword Tomb.

They were all aware of the ancestral master’s decree.

Speaking of Ye Xuan, after leaving the great hall of the Sword Tomb, he proceeded alone toward Emperor Night Peak.

Emperor Night Peak, a modest mountain located behind the main peak of the Sword Tomb, was unremarkable.

Yet, because of the River Soldier, this modest mountain had become a forbidden land of the Sword Tomb, a place no disciple of the Sword Tomb could approach.

This forbidden land was not merely a verbally declared off-limits area, but rather, because of the rampant Sword Qi, any disciple of the Sword Tomb who approached would be killed, hence it became truly forbidden.

In fact, the entire Sword Tomb had been an ancient forbidden land since the Primordial Wilderness Era.

Later on, Huang Chunqiu brought the River Soldier and established a school after clearing the forbidden land, thus giving rise to the modern Sword Tomb.

But within the Sword Tomb, many forbidden lands and secret realms were still preserved to facilitate the life-and-death training of the Sword Tomb’s disciples.

Sword Cultivators are certainly not made by mere meditation.

Only through life-and-death battles can one comprehend the truth therein.

Ye Xuan arrived at the foot of Emperor Night Peak, gazing upon this mountain that always lingered in the shadows, he felt somewhat dazed.

River Soldier...

To obtain this peerless Divine Sword in those days, he had endured much hardship.

It was just a pity that after acquiring it, he could not use it, due to his Monster Body.

In fact, this Divine Sword did not have a name.

Guo Hezu was a name Ye Xuan had given.

The meaning of Guo Hezu was that there was no way back, one needed to move forward relentlessly, which also exactly aligned with the philosophy of the Sword Dao.

Yet, the deeper meaning was because at that time, Ye Xuan was still under the control of the Emperor of Burials.

When he obtained Guo Hezu, it was the end of the Mythical Era.

Ye Xuan had kept it hidden for a long time.

It was not until he met Huang Chunqiu that Ye Xuan took this exceptionally talented, sword cultivator with great potential as his disciple and let him carry Guo Hezu to comprehend the Sword Intent within it.

However, in the end, Huang Chunqiu was also unable to pull out Guo Hezu.

Ye Xuan then had it sealed away, to retrieve it himself one day.

Today was the day to retrieve it.

"Eh?! Who are you?"

Just as Ye Xuan was about to enter Emperor Night Peak, a shout came from not far away, followed by a beautiful woman in a white dress who flew over and blocked Ye Xuan, furrowing her brows and saying, "Which lineage’s disciple are you? Don’t you know Emperor Night Peak is a forbidden land, and entering it on your own could result in annihilation of both body and Dao?"

Looking at the woman in the white dress blocking his way, Ye Xuan calmly said, "I am not a disciple of the Sword Tomb. I am here to retrieve a sword."

"Retrieve a sword?" The woman in the white dress was stunned for a moment, then scoffed disdainfully, "Guo Hezu is just a legend, do you really believe it?"

Sword Tomb disciples, many of whom had grown up listening to stories about their ancestors and Guo Hezu, were not unfamiliar with it.

However, they did not know the true nature of Guo Hezu.

Only the upper echelons of the Sword Tomb knew some of it.

"Actually, I am also a legend," Ye Xuan said with a slight smile.

"Go away, stop babbling. Emperor Night Peak is no place for you; leave quickly, or else there could be trouble later, and your master won’t grieve for you?" the woman in the white dress rolled her eyes and said impatiently.

Inside the grand hall of the Sword Tomb, Yuan Kong and the other four, who had been waiting to witness a miracle, were all stunned.

They hadn’t expected that a disciple would pass by Emperor Night Peak at such a time.

"Which lineage’s young girl is that?" an old man with white hair asked Yuan Kong.

"She is the third disciple of Brother Chu, Gu Ya," Yuan Kong said slowly. "I have already notified Brother Chu."

Below Emperor Night Peak.

Gu Ya was still persuading Ye Xuan, but suddenly her expression changed, and she muttered, "The Sect Leader permitted it..."

She had just received a thousand-mile transmission from her master, Chu Jiangqiu, saying that this young man coming to Emperor Night Peak was allowed by the Sect Leader?

This...

Gu Ya pouted and huffed, "Sect Leader shows favoritism. Why is it that when I come to retrieve a sword it’s not allowed, but this guy can come!"

Gu Ya huffed angrily as she looked at Ye Xuan. Although uncomfortable, she still stepped aside and said sarcastically, "Be careful you might die inside, and no one would retrieve your body, no, not even your bones will remain!"

"Little girl," Ye Xuan chuckled, didn’t mind her and stepped towards Emperor Night Peak.

"Hey?! Aren’t you afraid of dying!" Seeing that Ye Xuan had no intention of stopping, Gu Ya couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

"I told you, I came to retrieve a sword. Just watch here," Ye Xuan said without turning back, his figure already entering the realm of Emperor Night Peak.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh————

In an instant, on Emperor Night Peak, Sword Qi capable of vanquishing a Saint Emperor came overwhelmingly.

Even Gu Ya, who was outside Emperor Night Peak, could feel that terrifying power, as if it could pierce through everything!

That was the most extreme Sword Qi!

Gu Ya turned pale, instinctively stepped back, and thought to herself: It’s over!

But the next moment, Gu Ya was utterly dumbfounded.
