The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 751 - 748 Departure

Chapter 751: Chapter 748 Departure

Hum————

Yin God and Yang God manifested simultaneously, and Zhou Youwei’s strength soared wildly. Wrapped in Sword Qi, she seemed to transform into a peerless female Sword Immortal of unmatched grace.

Zhou Youwei’s figure slowly levitated, and the Daluo Sword Embryo turned into a beam of Immortal Light, merging into the center of her brow and entering the Mud Ball Palace.

Ultimately, the Daluo Sword Embryo suspended itself in the center of the nine Life Palaces and began to evolve.

Only then did the terrifying Sword Qi finally disappear.

The Yin God and Yang God also vanished without a trace.

Zhou Youwei returned to normal, gently landing beside Ye Xuan with a look of joy in her eyes and brows.

"Husband, I succeeded."

A slight smile curled at the corner of Zhou Youwei’s lips, a rare expression of happiness appearing on her cold face.

Ye Xuan smiled faintly, reached out to take Zhou Youwei’s hand, and said in a calm voice, "Let’s go."

The two of them walked out of the Hundred Refinement Sword Pool together.

"Young Master Ye Xuan!"

Outside the Hundred Refinement Sword Pool, both Pei Yanchao and Gu Ya were overjoyed to see Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei emerge unharmed from the Hundred Refinement Sword Pool.

The Sword Qi just now was too terrifying, nearly obliterating them in an instant.

Bear in mind, Pei Yanchao was in the Heavenly Human Realm, while Gu Ya was even an existence at the Heavenly God Realm.

In the outside world, beings of such caliber would undoubtedly be considered powerful.

Yet the Sword Qi was capable of instantly killing them, which speaks to its horrifying nature.

Boom Boom Boom————

However, before they could ask any questions, a series of powerful auras arrived.

Duan Canghai, Feng Qingyun, and Yuan Kong, three generations of Sect Leaders, all arrived.

Elders like Chu Jiangqiu and Liu Bajian also made their appearance.

All eyes converged on Zhou Youwei, filled with excitement, complexity, and awe.

"The Daluo Sword Embryo, it’s really gone..." Feng Qingyun sighed.

Compared to River Soldier, the Daluo Sword Embryo had always been inside the Sword Tomb, known to all the higher-ups.

They had been waiting for the day when a prodigy would emerge from the Sword Tomb to subdue the Daluo Sword Embryo.

To think that today, Zhou Youwei became its master.

"Good disciple, impressive!" Wu Muchen, a youthful Daoist, appeared and gave Zhou Youwei a thumbs up.

"Who else if not the wife of someone like me?" Ye Xuan said unhurriedly.

This remark dumbfounded the onlookers.

"Master." Zhou Youwei was accustomed to it and respectfully performed a salute to her own master, Wu Muchen.

"Brother Dao, the karma can’t be severed now, right?" Yuan Kong glanced at Wu Muchen, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly as he spoke softly.

Wu Muchen waved his hand, "Immortal King Hall wishes to form a friendship with the Sword Tomb in this life!"

Truth be told, Zhou Youwei obtaining the Daluo Sword Embryo was completely beyond his expectation.

Even though the Daluo Sword Embryo was still just an Embryo and not as revered as many famous swords in the three Sword Ponds, the future of the Daluo Sword Embryo was clearly promising.

Just like Zhou Youwei, with a foreseeable future!

Having attained such a huge opportunity, if he didn’t offer some gesture in return, it would be remiss of Immortal King Hall.

With this thought, Wu Muchen’s gaze fell on Gu Ya and Pei Yanchao, and he smiled slightly, "I wonder if the two young friends would like to cultivate in Immortal King Hall?"

Gu Ya and Pei Yanchao were momentarily stunned, instinctively looking at their master, Chu Jiangqiu.

Chu Jiangqiu was startled at first and then revealed a look of joy, giving the two a meaningful glance.

Yuan Kong was also taken aback and then said to Gu Ya and Pei Yanchao, "My nephews, joining the Immortal King Hall is a great opportunity. Are you not going to accept?"

The original agreement of friendship with the Immortal King Hall was already beneficial for the Sword Tomb, but Wu Muchen now unexpectedly requested two people from them.

This would deepen the bond between Immortal King Hall and the Sword Tomb.

"We are willing!" Gu Ya and Pei Yanchao could hardly conceal their excitement.

"Very good." Wu Muchen, the youthful Daoist, said with a smile.

"Have your discussion, we’re leaving." Ye Xuan had little interest in the affairs between the Sword Tomb and the Immortal King Hall and said indifferently.

As he spoke, Ye Xuan took Zhou Youwei by the hand and walked in another direction.

"Is Young Master Ye planning to leave now?" Yuan Kong looked at Ye Xuan and said persuasively, "The Sword Tomb is officially opening today. Wouldn’t it be better for Young Master Ye to stay and watch the ceremony before leaving?"

Without turning his head, Ye Xuan raised his hand and waved it, "Ceremonial matters are the dullest. I have things to do and will take my leave now. Until another day."

Within the Hengduan Mountains, Emperor Soul had recovered a great deal, and now they had retrieved the River Soldier from inside the Sword Tomb.

Next would be settling scores with the Five Dominators of East Desolation!

Seeing that Ye Xuan had no interest in the ceremony, Yuan Kong didn’t insist on keeping him and saluted with clasped hands, "The doors of the Sword Tomb will always be open for Young Master Ye and Miss Zhou. Whenever you wish to visit, just come, and the Sword Tomb will surely welcome you with open arms!"

This moved Huang Yue, Song Qilin, and many other Sword Tomb Elders present.

In truth, over millions of years, there have been very few who have been treated this way by the Sword Tomb!

However, Wu Muchen, who stood aside, felt this was only natural.

To be honest, he had originally wanted Ye Xuan to stay at Immortal King Hall.

Such a pity...

Alas.

He was quite melancholic at the moment.

Wu Muchen watched as Zhou Youwei and Ye Xuan left together and sighed softly.

"Elders, we shall take our leave as well."

Song Qilin and Huang Yue, after performing their salutations, followed Ye Xuan.

"Miss Gu Ya, Brother Pei, until we meet again!" Song Qilin did not forget to bid farewell to Gu Ya and Pei Yanchao.

"Until we meet again!" Gu Ya and Pei Yanchao waved goodbye as well.

Huang Yue, not much for words, nodded in acknowledgment.

Qiao Xinyu walked at the rear, unhurried.

"We respectfully see off our seniors."

In the presence of Qiao Xinyu, Yuan Kong and others dared not show any disrespect and all bowed deeply to see him off.

Only Wu Muchen stood with one hand behind his back, eyeing Qiao Xinyu thoughtfully.

Soon, Ye Xuan and his party of five vanished from everyone’s sight as they walked out of the Sword Tomb.

"Now that my disciple has left, I shall not impose any longer," said Wu Muchen, withdrawing his gaze, addressing Yuan Kong and the others.

"Brother Wu, won’t you stay to witness the ceremony?" Yuan Kong said with a wry smile.

The young Daoist Wu Muchen shook his head lightly, "I’ve always disliked such empty formalities."

Yuan Kong nodded and responded, "Brother Wu is really carefree."

Wu Muchen looked towards Gu Ya and Pei Yanchao, smiled slightly, and said, "You two young friends, come along with me on my journey."

"Ah? We’re leaving now?" Gu Ya was somewhat flustered.

Pei Yanchao, on the other hand, was much calmer. His gaze fell on his own master Chu Jiangqiu, revealing a hint of sorrow, "Master..."

Seeing this, Wu Muchen didn’t rush them and allowed the two youngsters time to say their goodbyes.

Chu Jiangqiu, watching his two disciples, scolded with a smile, "Look at you two, going to the Immortal King Hall is the greatest opportunity in your lives. Besides, it’s not like you won’t be able to meet in the future, so be happy."

Even though he said this, Chu Jiangqiu felt a tinge of sourness in his heart.

He personally raised each of his eight direct disciples.

For him, whether it was Gu Ya, Pei Yanchao, or the other six disciples, they were all his children.

The sudden departure from his side undoubtedly brought him sadness.

When these kids were young, he couldn’t wait for them to grow up and become independent.

But now that they had truly grown up and were about to leave his side, he found himself wishing to go back to those earlier times.

This was probably the contradictory psychology of an elder.

However, with the farewell at hand, as a master, he definitely couldn’t set a bad example, so he had to appear to be happy.

"Disciple, I will heed Master’s teachings with care!" Pei Yanchao said earnestly.

He then knelt down before Chu Jiangqiu and kowtowed three times.

Gu Ya did the same.

"Go on, don’t keep Elder Wu waiting for too long," Chu Jiangqiu helped them up, speaking softly.

With tears in her eyes, Gu Ya said, "Master, I don’t want to go. I want to stay in the Sword Tomb."

"Nonsense!" Chu Jiangqiu immediately scolded with a stern tone.

Gu Ya was instantly startled.

Chu Jiangqiu’s heart softened, and he coaxed her gently, "Go on, your junior brother will be with you."

Gu Ya’s tears fell like beads off a string, but she knew her master’s good intentions. She nodded definitively and walked towards the young Daoist Wu Muchen with Pei Yanchao.

After taking their steps, neither of them looked back.

Sword cultivators, once they are committed to a decision, should not hesitate; otherwise, they would bring shame to their status as sword cultivators!

Yet, Gu Ya still felt a profound sense of loss, not only because she was leaving her beloved master, but also because the senior brother she admired hadn’t come to see her off.

"Sister Gu, have a smooth journey."

Just then, a loud shout came from a distance.

Gu Ya turned towards the voice, her face brightening with joy, "Brother Xu!"

In the distance, Xu Zhonglou was waving to her and shouted:

"Once you get to the Immortal King Hall, make sure to practice diligently and no slacking off!"

"Yes!" Gu Ya nodded vigorously.

"This girl really still likes that kid Zhonglou..." Chu Jiangqiu saw this scene and couldn’t help but laugh to himself.

"Gentlemen, I bid you farewell," Wu Muchen said as he bowed slightly.

Bang!

The next moment, clouds and mist exploded as Wu Muchen, Pei Yanchao, and Gu Ya vanished from sight.

"Ah..." Chu Jiangqiu’s waving arm froze, then dropped as he sighed.

"Old Chu, are you crying?" Liu Bajian glanced at Chu Jiangqiu and teased him.

"Your mother’s the one crying; I just got sand in my eye!" roared Chu Jiangqiu. But he quietly wiped away a tear.

Seeing this, everyone around shook their heads with amused smiles.

"Fellow brothers and sisters, it’s time to attend to important matters!" Yuan Kong called everyone back to the moment, speaking solemnly.

At those words, everyone in the Sword Tomb became serious and composed.

The Sword Tomb was officially opening!
