The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 762 - 759: Discussing Compensation

Chapter 762: Chapter 759: Discussing Compensation

"What a lively scene, what are you discussing?" Ye Xuan entered the Six Emperor Hall with Zhou Youwei, Huang Yue, and Qiao Xinyu and spoke with a smile.

The entirety of the Six Emperor Hall was dead silent.

All eyes converged on Ye Xuan and his three companions, displaying expressions of immense interest.

They had never imagined that while they were just discussing Ye Xuan, in the blink of an eye, he had appeared in the Six Emperor Hall.

Had he arrived too quickly?!

They were given no time to react at all.

"Young Master Ye."

It was ultimately the Demon Emperor of the Six Demon Sect who first regained his composure, barely containing the shock in his heart, and greeted Ye Xuan by cupping his hands together.

"It’s fine, continue your discussions. I’m just here to listen." Ye Xuan responded cheerfully.

Looking at Ye Xuan’s seemingly harmless smile, the elders inside the hall not only failed to relax but instead felt their spine chill.

They were all demons, highly sensitive to these perceptions.

This seemingly peaceful young man harbored great horrors!

What’s there to discuss now?

Everyone involuntarily looked towards His Majesty the Demon Emperor, now the only one who might be able to salvage the situation.

That strike a moment ago had split the great formation of the Six Demon Sect right in two, and they even felt that if he had wished, he probably could have split the entire Six Emperor Mountain Range in two.

Who would dare provoke such an existence lightly?

After pondering for a long while, the Demon Emperor said pensively, "Young Master Ye, actually, our sect was just discussing how to compensate you, in hopes of resolving the grievances between Young Master Ye and our sect."

Huang Yue couldn’t help a twitch at the corner of his mouth at that scene.

It must be said that Elder Ye Xuan was truly formidable. The Demon Emperor, who held a prestigious name throughout the East Desolate and was considered the paramount figure of its northern regions, was now speaking so humbly.

If this scene were to spread to the outside world, it might cause a great uproar.

Though the system of the Six Demon Sect bore similarities to the human cultivation sacred lands, there were also significant differences, particularly that positions like Demon Emperor and elder were all elected through strength.

There were no positions like Supreme Elders or ancestral figures among them.

Because the ascension of a new Demon Emperor always signified the demise of the previous one.

Therefore, the strength of this Demon Emperor was much, much stronger than the Sect Masters, Saint Masters, and Family Heads of the human cultivation sacred lands.

In fact, his strength could be greater even than Long Kun and Long Ling of the Divine Dragon Azure Sea...

This was also why this Demon Emperor, known as Di Wu’ai, was vaguely recognized as the number one figure in the northern region of the East Desolate.

And this was why the struggle for the position of elder among these Great Demon Kings was also so fierce.

The Demon Emperor served mainly to protect the sect; he typically left lesser diplomatic affairs to the elders beneath him.

After all, being a being comparable to the ancient figures of other sects’ sacred lands, he would naturally not make appearances lightly.

So within the Six Demon Sect, even an elder possessed considerable power.

Especially the Great Elder.

This also explained why the Second Elder had always been very dissatisfied with Xiong Tun, the Great Elder.

At this moment, the Demon Emperor’s overture toward Ye Xuan had the elders inside the hall feeling complex emotions.

To them, His Majesty the Demon Emperor was a supremely exalted figure, yet now, the supreme and unparalleled Demon Emperor was also bowing his head to Ye Xuan.

This also signaled that the Six Demon Sect would likely no longer be an enemy of Ye Xuan.

The Second Elder lowered his head, a cold look flashing in his eyes.

Others could let go of their hatred, but he found it difficult to do so.

Not without reason, for the Golden Peng Saint Heir was his son!

Besides the Second Elder, a Fifth Elder also clenched his fists tightly, his heart harboring thoughts of murder.

The Fifth Elder was Mu Yiyang’s master.

In the battle within Hengduan Mountain, both Mu Yiyang and the Golden Peng Saint Heir had perished.

Subsequently, the eighteen top-tier experts sent by the Six Demon Sect were also annihilated by Ye Xuan in seconds.

The losses of the Six Demon Sect were beyond tragic.

"So, have you discussed how you intend to compensate?" Ye Xuan looked at the Second Elder with a seemingly amused gaze, his attention then shifting to Emperor Di Wu’ai.

He could feel the murderous intent coming from the Second and Fifth Elders.

With just a slight movement of his Emperor Soul, he could tell that the Second Elder and the Golden Peng Saint Heir were directly related by blood, undoubtedly close kin.

And the Daoist Magic of the Fifth Elder and Mu Yiyang were nearly 90% similar, proving that the two also had a master-disciple relationship.

So, it was quite normal to harbor murderous intentions.

"Actually, we never agreed on anything, for we knew we couldn’t defeat Brother Ye anyway, so we might as well sit here and await death,"

At that moment, the Great Elder Xiong Tun suddenly broke into a grin and spoke with utter nonchalance.

"You are quite interesting," Ye Xuan said with a slight smile.

"Can’t help it, can’t beat you, can we? Just waiting to die?" Xiong Tun shrugged as he spoke.

"Huh?"

Huang Yue was utterly dumbfounded.

This man really spoke in a bizarre manner.

Presumably, this was the newly appointed Great Elder Xiong Tun, a powerhouse who had achieved enlightenment by devouring a Demon Bear.

"Shut your mouth!" The Second Elder coldly glared at Xiong Tun.

Was this guy completely oblivious to the situation?

What was he thinking, speaking such words at a time like this?

"I’ll say what I want to say, what can you do about it?" Xiong Tun gave the Second Elder a sidelong glance and spoke unhurriedly.

This really infuriated the Second Elder, but recalling the recent events, he dared not say much more.

With a smile still playing on his lips, Ye Xuan turned to the Demon Emperor Wu Ai and said softly, "How do you think compensation should be made?"

The Demon Emperor Wu Ai pondered before responding, "Since Mister Ye has graced us with his presence, why not let Mister Ye make a demand himself?"

Ye Xuan’s mouth curved slightly, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll ask for too much?"

The Demon Emperor Wu Ai smiled and responded, "As the Great Elder Xiong Tun mentioned, our Six Demon Sect has no intention of becoming enemies with Mister Ye, nor do we have the ability, so whatever Mister Ye says, goes."

"Your Majesty!"

The words of the Demon Emperor Wu Ai caused the Second Elder, Fifth Elders, and others to suddenly change their expressions.

This was totally handing the initiative over to Ye Xuan!

"Hmm?" The Demon Emperor Wu Ai glanced at them indifferently.

The Second Elder and others turned pale and dared not speak further.

The Demon Emperor Wu Ai turned back to Ye Xuan and asked softly, "How does Mister Ye find this proposal?"

"So generous?" Ye Xuan said with a slight smile, his expression calm, "If that’s the case, then let’s start with one demand, kill these two guys first."

Ye Xuan pointed at the Second Elder.

The Second Elder immediately changed color, hastily addressing the Demon Emperor, "Your Majesty, this man is here to completely crush our Six Demon Sect, we must not fall into his scheme, I beseech you, let us all fight to death together to defend the dignity of our Six Demon Sect!"

"Your Majesty!"

The other Elders also began to plead.

It must be said, although the Second Elder was not as strong as Xiong Tun, his influence within the Six Demon Sect was profound, with sixteen out of twenty-eight Elders pleading on his behalf!

"Ye Xuan, our sect has never hired any assassin to trouble you, and after you left the Hengduan Mountain, our sect did not trouble you again, so why do you persist in targeting our sect?"

The Fifth Elder eyed Ye Xuan closely, speaking with a dark expression.

"So you mean to say, the eighteen members of the Six Demon Sect who were killed by me outside Hengduan Mountain were figments?" Ye Xuan feigned surprise as he spoke.

This statement left the members of the Six Demon Sect speechless.

Indeed, outside Hengduan Mountain, they did send eighteen strong individuals to assassinate Ye Xuan, and later even a Great Protector’s Dharma Form was summoned.

But alas, all were cut down with one strike.

Ye Xuan did not bother with these fellows but looked towards the Demon Emperor Wu Ai and spoke softly, "Since you want to show sincerity, let me see it now."

The entire being of the Demon Emperor Wu Ai was shrouded in a scarlet divine radiance, hiding any emotional changes.

She did not speak, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing the Demon Emperor actually considering the matter, the Second Elder completely panicked.

The Demon Emperor Wu Ai’s gaze shifted to the Second Elder and she said softly, "Second Elder, you have always been stealing many benefits within our sect, and I have turned a blind eye, but today, it is time you repay the sect."

"You!"

The Second Elder was completely enraged, never expecting the Demon Emperor might truly kill him.

As the Demon Emperor spoke, he had already risen from his seat, glaring furiously at her.

Boom!

The next moment, the Second Elder simply vanished from his seat.

It seemed as though he was about to berate the Demon Emperor, but in reality, he was readying to flee!
