The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 818 - 815: Past

Chapter 818: Chapter 815: Past

"What did you say?!" Han Danxia’s face turned pale, staring intently at Ye Xuan, a hint of horror emerging deep in his eyes, as if he couldn’t believe it.

"I said..." Ye Xuan spoke slowly and unhurriedly: "The technique you cultivate is not that of the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect."

Everyone was shocked as they looked at Han Danxia, not understanding.

Back then, Han Danxia had ascended to the position of Sect Master by virtue of being the Saint Heir, and now Ye Xuan was saying that the cultivation technique Han Danxia studied was not that of the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect?

Isn’t this ridiculous?

Involuntarily, the scene of Zhao Ding confronting Han Danxia just now replayed in their minds.

What exactly happened eighty thousand years ago at the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect?

"Ye Xuan, don’t speak out of line, I grew up in the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect, how could I not have cultivated its techniques?" Han Danxia said in a deep voice with a pale face.

Ye Xuan’s expression was indifferent, showing no intention to explain.

In his eyes, although the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect couldn’t be considered the orthodoxy of the Artifact Sect, it was at least one of the lineages passed down by Ou Zhizi back in the day, and Ye Xuan was fully aware of its cultivation methods.

But this Han Danxia, the cultivation technique he studied had nothing to do with the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect’s methods at all.

"Everyone, let me explain," Zhao Ding raised his hand and said.

All eyes turned to Zhao Ding.

Zhao Ding first cupped his hands to Ye Xuan, then looked at Han Danxia and said in a deep voice: "As everyone knows, ninety thousand years ago, the Double Emperors reached the pinnacle, spiritual energy was scarce, and our Daozhou’s five great domains did not escape this disaster, spiritual energy dried up, and as a result, all the ancestors within our sect chose to enter seclusion into slumber..."

Under Zhao Ding’s narration, everyone comprehended the situation.

It turned out that after the spiritual energy dried up ninety thousand years ago, all the top-level beings in the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect chose to enter seclusion to avoid declining in strength. After adjusting for ten thousand years, the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect had become accustomed to the situation.

The highest authority of the sect is the Sect Master, followed by the eighteen Elders, and then the protectors, Hall Masters, and Stewards, etc.

Eight thousand years ago, while the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect was developing steadily, unexpectedly, it caught the eye of traitors. Later, a few of the eighteen Elders were bought by traitors, ultimately bringing in a treacherous Artifact Refiner into the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect.

That Artifact Refiner was formidable and upright, and he quickly established himself within the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect, even squeezing out one of the eighteen Elders, after which he began his path to power.

Concerning this person, the high level of the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect were delighted, except for a few Elders, they let down their guard.

However, it was all an act.

Once, during the Sacrificial Refinement of a Sacred Dao Mystics Weapon, due to the rarity of a certain material, it was necessary to go to the Southern Sea to look for it, but at that time within the sect, only the Sect Master and that Artifact Refiner had the strength to retrieve such material, so the Sect Master decided to go personally, leaving that Artifact Refiner in charge of refining the Sacred Dao Mystics Weapon with the others within the sect.

Who could have imagined that the Sect Master went but never returned, the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect repeatedly sent disciples to the Southern Sea to search, but to no avail.

Thirty years later, someone found the Sect Master’s remains, still carrying a will.

The disciple immediately brought back the Sect Master’s remains and will to the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect.

The will stated that the Artifact Refiner should inherit the position of Sect Master and lead the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect forward.

This was painful, but since the will seemed legitimate, most chose to nominate this Artifact Refiner as the new Sect Master.

However, several Elders of the Sect Master’s lineage opposed it.

That Artifact Refiner also chose to decline, saying he was old, and the young should take over, thus starting the selection of a Saint Heir.

Nobody expected that a young disciple brought in by that Artifact Refiner would stand out, becoming a Saint Heir, and eventually ascending to the position of Sect Master.

That Artifact Refiner was then promoted to Supreme Elder, retracting from worldly affairs.

The opposing Elders were speechless, and eventually, the matter was left unresolved.

But in secret, they continued to investigate the Sect Master’s death.

Gradually, these Elders died for various reasons.

Until today, no one remembers this past incident.

Zhao Ding stared intently at Han Danxia’s pale face, saying coldly: "Earlier I had three questions, the third one still awaits the Sect Master’s answer, who is your grandmaster?"

Now, the other Elders in the sect all fixed their gaze on Han Danxia, their expressions complex.

From Zhao Ding’s words, they already inferred the origin.

Because Han Danxia’s grandmaster was the Saint Heir who rose to the position of Sect Master back then.

He was propped up completely by that Artifact Refiner who joined midway.

Upon hearing this, Han Danxia mockingly said: "What are you trying to prove with these words? That the death of that grandmaster back then was caused by my great-grandmaster?"

"It’s been eighty thousand years, do you or I know what truly happened back then?"

"Your words have no foundation!"

Han Danxia sneered coldly.

"Exactly, I think you’re just looking for an opportunity to scheme for the Sect Master’s position, your intentions are liable for execution!" The Fifth Elders exclaimed.

Zhao Ding calmly smiled, with a big wave of his hand, each of the Elders present received an Ancient Jade Scroll, and he said slowly: "All of you are Elders of the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect, and I believe you can recognize the secret language inscribed on it, which can only be understood by those from our sect."

"Your ancestors were blinded by Han Danxia’s grandmaster. The reason the grandmaster of that time died in the Southern Sea is because Han Danxia’s grandmaster pre-arranged an ambush on the route, attacking the grandmaster and throwing his remains into the Southern Sea while crafting a fake will, later allowing its disciple to ascend to the position of Sect Master, and from then on, the position has always been in their line."

"Whether it be today’s Han Danxia, or the deceased Chang Zuhua."

The crowd began flipping through the Ancient Scrolls, and their expressions turned intriguing.

Their gazes towards Han Danxia became extremely complicated.

Seeing the situation taking a wrong turn, Han Danxia suppressed the tumultuous waves in his heart, looking at Zhao Ding and said in a deep voice: "Utter nonsense, I see you’re just fabricating these fake ancient scrolls to deceive the Elders here to usurp power."

"Everyone, don’t be fooled by this villain!"

"What my Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect should truly be doing now is discussing compensation matters with Ye Xuan."

While speaking, Han Danxia cupped his hands towards Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan’s lips slightly curled, a hint of a peculiar smile in his eyes, and he said softly: "No rush, I am not in a hurry."

Han Danxia’s expression stiffened slightly.

Zhao Ding cast a grateful glance at Ye Xuan, then turned his gaze back to Han Danxia, his eyes growing cold, and he said in a chilling voice: "I am not afraid to tell you, the reason I joined the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect was purely for vengeance on behalf of the grandmaster who died back then, who was my ancestor; before dying, they admonished their child who had been living outside to not return to the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect, eventually joining the Southern Sea Immortal Island unintenionally."

"I have returned today to avenge my ancestor’s blood debt!"

As he spoke.

Terrifying auras suddenly descended from East Desolate Island, landing beside Ye Xuan and the others.

"Ye Xuan."
