The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 759 - 756 Deterrent Power

Chapter 759: Chapter 756 Deterrent Power

The Dragon Carp flew into the river transformed from the Taiyi True Water by Ye Xuan.

The moment it entered, its eighth Dragon Scale evolved directly, and its dragon might surged even stronger!

That pressure, as if naturally imbued with an indescribable domineering presence, caused everyone present, despite being extraordinary beings, to feel an invisible pressure.

This is the terrifying aspect of dragon might.

"This..."

The sight made both the elder in the purple robe and the woman in the black robe grieve deeply, their hearts bleeding.

They were already pained when the Dragon Carp was taken away; now, right before their eyes, the Dragon Carp had produced yet another Dragon Scale.

It was like rubbing salt into their wounds!

In fact, they did not know that the reason the Dragon Carp could evolve its eighth Dragon Scale in this instant was not because of the Taiyi True Water, nor was it a fortuitous coincidence, but because of the Dragon Transformation Technique bestowed by Ye Xuan, which allowed the Dragon Carp to take another big step forward.

Huang Yue and Zhou Youwei both set their sights on the Dragon Carp, quite curious.

This was the first time they had seen such a creature, which didn’t seem to have any special characteristics, but the dragon might it exuded based on its eight Dragon Scales made their scalps tingle.

If a Great Demon of the Demon Race were here, they would likely be trembling under the suppression of this dragon might.

This was natural bloodline suppression.

In the world where All Races stand tall, each race’s bloodline is different, especially among the Demon Race, which is divided into many clans with bloodline suppressions existing among them.

Among them, dragons are the supreme beings; they possess immense pressure, and even a young dragon could make a Demon King willingly submit.

Just like a City Lord in the mortal world who sees the Emperor of the Dynasty must kowtow and pay respects.

Hum————

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the river transformed from the Taiyi True Water rapidly shrank, turning into a flow of water that returned into the palm of Ye Xuan’s hand.

In the end, the Taiyi True Water condensed into a drop of water, which Ye Xuan collected with the Jade Bottle.

Upon seeing that scene, Zhou Youwei had a bit of an epiphany.

She gradually began to understand what her husband meant by "the minute mortal dust of the world is all part of the Great Thousand World."

Just like the drop of Taiyi True Water in Ye Xuan’s hand, it appears to be just a water droplet, yet it can evolve into vast rivers and hold myriad living beings.

Yet, in reality, it is just a mere droplet.

"It’s gone..."

The elder in the purple robe and the woman in black spoke in dismay.

As the Dragon Carp was taken away by Ye Xuan, the dragon energy of this place was fading away slowly.

"Are you two the ancient ancestors of the Long Family?" Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze and set it on the elder in the purple robe and the woman in black, speaking in an unhurried tone.

"I am Long Kun, and this is my granddaughter Long Ling," the elder in the purple robe said with forced vitality, bowing with his hands clasped.

The woman in black had a complex look, but still gave a slight bow to Ye Xuan.

After all, with Qiao Xinyu watching them, they dared not guarantee that this man wouldn’t suddenly strike them.

If he really did strike, they felt they couldn’t withstand it.

This man, he seemed invincible.

Therefore, it was best to show respect to this young man named Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan nodded slightly, continuing calmly, "Your descendants of the Long Family hired a Blood Killing Sect’s Heaven-ranking assassin to ambush me, the Blood Killing Sect has been executed, and the Long Family descendants involved in this matter have been cleared by me. But ultimately, it’s due to your lack of discipline, so taking your Long Family’s Dragon Carp today as a lesson, do you accept this?"

The elder who called himself Long Kun and the woman named Long Ling gasped when they heard the first part of his statement, their pupils shrinking, feeling incredulous.

The Blood Killing Sect, was it truly destroyed by Ye Xuan?

Almost subconsciously, Long Kun turned his gaze to Qiao Xinyu.

For some reason, he felt that it was very likely this man was the one responsible!

But upon hearing the last part of the statement, they felt a bitter taste in their mouths.

In fact, the bloodline connection between the current descendants of the Long Family and them was so distant that they didn’t even know how many generations had passed; if they had to sacrifice themselves for the Long Family, they might have stepped forward to demand justice.

But it was for causing trouble and begetting their own deaths, requiring them to clean up the mess, naturally, they were not pleased.

If possible, they would choose to kill those trouble-causing descendants themselves to preserve this Dragon Carp.

For them at this level, the life of an individual family member seemed trivial compared to the fate of the entire clan.

But now, Ye Xuan clearly didn’t give them that opportunity.

With this in mind, Long Kun clasped his hands and said, "The young master did not harm other members of my Long Family; you have been more than just, hence I naturally accept."

The woman in black, Long Ling, was somewhat unable to accept this and remained silent.

However, Ye Xuan did not pay her any attention, after all, he had merely informed her. If you disagree, then disagree. You are free to voice it, but whether I listen is my business.

Not annihilating the Long Family was already merciful enough.

As the mighty Undying Night Emperor, he had seen far too many things in his life. The lives of irrelevant people were negligible to him.

There’s an old saying among mortals that goes well here.

When one gets old, there isn’t much left to lose.

Although Ye Xuan wasn’t quite seventeen years old, his mental age was indeterminably older.

That’s why he had always been rather indifferent.

To him, exterminating the Long Family was a matter of a few words.

But compared to doing so, he preferred victory without bloodshed.

Unless the other party truly had a death wish.

Now, at least these two elders of the Long Family seemed to understand what was most important at the moment.

If these two wished for a heroic death, Ye Xuan would grant it to them without mercy.

But clearly, they valued the existence of the entire Long Family more.

Indeed, the Dragon Carp represented the Long Family’s destiny, but even without the Dragon Carp, the Long Family would still exist.

If the Long Family were gone, what would be the point of the Dragon Carp’s existence?

Moreover, if the Long Family were gone, it would prove that the Dragon Carp was gone too.

They had essentially considered this point on their way here.

That’s why they didn’t start with angry accusations against Ye Xuan – doing so would only hasten the downfall of the Long Family.

Although the Dragon Carp was gone, the Long Family still remained. With their protection, so long as Divine Dragon Azure Sea kept a low profile, their line could still continue for many years to come.

However, regaining their former glory would be excessively difficult.

"Young master, what about the grudges between you and the Long Family from now on...?" Long Kun tried not to dwell on the matter of the Dragon Carp at this moment.

The priority was to handle this matter appropriately.

"Consider it canceled," Ye Xuan said with an indifferent smile. "Of course, on the condition that you manage your younger generation well."

"Of course, of course!" Long Kun immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"You’re a wise man," Ye Xuan chuckled.

Long Kun could only force a bitter smile.

"Let’s go," Ye Xuan called out, taking the lead to leave the Divine Institute.

"Young master, please take care," Long Kun bowed deeply as he saw him off.

It was only after Ye Xuan had left that Long Kun’s expression turned cold, his eyes flashing with a hint of murderous intent.

But this murderous intent was not directed at Ye Xuan, but rather at those ungrateful descendants!

Today, the Long Family nearly faced extermination!

Fortunately, the other party was not intent on killing. Had he been a bit more ruthless, the blood of the Long Family might have stained the entire Divine Dragon Azure Sea red today.

"It seems that this generation of elders and family heads will need a reshuffle," said Long Kun in a cold voice.

"Grandfather, about this matter..." Long Ling was about to say something more.

"Be quiet!" Long Kun suddenly turned around, his tone severe as he snapped, "Do you understand that your actions just now were suicidal, not just for you, but for me as well?"

Long Ling’s face turned pale, her voice filled with grievance, "Grandfather, I was just angry that he took the Dragon Carp away!"

Long Kun’s expression turned extremely grave as he said sternly, "Don’t talk about the Dragon Carp. Even if he took you away along with it, I wouldn’t utter another word. Do you still not understand? This man could easily wipe out the Blood Killing Sect. No one in East Desolate can stop him, not even the East Desolate Ten Dominators. What’s the use of your anger?"

Hearing this, Long Ling’s face grew even paler, and her body wavered slightly.

Seeing her reaction, Long Kun regretted speaking so harshly, but he needed to warn her. In the presence of such a being, one must recognize their own position.

Long Kun sighed and softened his tone, "Don’t blame your grandfather for being heartless. The Dao is merciless. The moment you become a cultivator, you are no longer in control of your own destiny. You never know what kind of being you will encounter. That’s why I’ve always told you to travel more or to cultivate in seclusion, and to avoid meddling in Long Family affairs as much as possible."

"Like today’s incident, it stemmed from being entangled with the family’s karma."

"No one is to speak of today’s events."

"Our Long Family needs to settle down for a while."
