The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 830 - 827: You’re Quite Good

Chapter 830: Chapter 827: You’re Quite Good

"Presumably, this is the prodigious son-in-law Ye Xuan, renowned across the Eastern Wilderness?" the Princess of the Ancient Demon Country murmured softly.

The name Ye Xuan had already spread far to the Southern Ridge Divine Mountain when the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect was annihilated.

As the princess of the Ancient Demon Country, she naturally knew it.

This princess from the Ancient Demon Country, though clearly a demon, possessed no demonic aura but rather an ethereal Immortal Qi, resembling a fairy poised to ascend at any moment.

Her appearance was captivating, exuding an innate majesty and dominance, akin to an Empress reigning supreme.

Such a woman inspired no thoughts of desecration whatsoever.

Who would imagine that such a stunning woman was a member of the Demon Race from the Southern Ridge Divine Mountain?

Ji Changtian, the Saint Heir of the Medicine Pavilion, stood up slowly, eyes tinged with solemnity, and said earnestly, "Princess, why don’t you follow me to the Grotto Heaven to lay low for a while."

The princess of the Ancient Demon Country heard his words, but merely smiled faintly, saying softly, "Jing’er just wants to witness the unparalleled grace of this young man."

A hint of obscure gloom flashed in Ji Changtian’s eyes, but he maintained a composed facade and said, "Princess, this person kills without hesitation, indifferent to good or evil. If anything happens to you, I can’t hold the Medicine Pavilion accountable to the Ancient Demon Country, wouldn’t you agree?"

The princess named Dugu Jing cast a sideways glance at Ji Changtian, a flicker of disappointment in her eyes, and looked back towards East Desolate Island, saying softly, "Jing’er came to the Medicine Pavilion to study the Alchemy Technique, but my actions are undeterred by the Medicine Pavilion, this matter is clear to Ji Changtian."

Ji Changtian could only smile wryly and said, "Though it is so, I still hope the princess won’t risk herself."

Dugu Jing didn’t respond to Ji Changtian further.

Ji Changtian, seeing this, didn’t bother to ask for trouble but stood not far from Dugu Jing, watching the looming East Desolate Island in the sky alongside her.

Ji Changtian’s face held a slight cloudiness.

Towards this Ye Xuan, whom he had never met, he nurtured a strange hatred.

That hatred was not just due to Ye Xuan’s reckless actions but was laden with envy.

In the past, within the Eastern Wilderness, in terms of fame among the younger generation, Ji Changtian was indisputably a name at the forefront.

But Ye Xuan’s emergence shattered this status quo.

It was as if all the young prodigies were reduced to worthless beings before him.

The Eighth Prince of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty, the Golden Peng Saint of the Six Demon Sect, Long Aotian of the Long Family, Fierce Sun Saint of the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect, Chang Zuhua of the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect, and Wei Qing from our Medicine Pavilion.

Although Wei Qing’s prowess was lesser than his, he was still a top prodigy second only to Ji Changtian in Medicine Pavilion.

Yet, these individuals were slaughtered like chickens by Ye Xuan.

That should have been the end, but since emerging from Hengduan Mountain, this fellow seemed to draw the collective gaze of all living beings in the Eastern Wilderness onto himself, his conduct along the way was appalling.

Of course, these were not the core issue.

The crux was that he, at such a young age, had become a Medicine King surpassing Nine Tripod Alchemists, yet no one seemed to pay attention to him.

How could Ji Changtian, accustomed to being surrounded by admiring stars, endure such disregard?

If not for fearing Ye Xuan’s formidable prowess, he could barely hold back from stepping forward to scold Ye Xuan.

Logically, upon Ye Xuan’s arrival, he should have suppressed the hatred and envy in his heart.

But somehow, standing beside Dugu Jing, Ji Changtian felt that bowing his head would make Dugu Jing look down on him.

Perhaps because of this, the hatred in Ji Changtian’s heart blossomed.

"Hmm..."

Ye Xuan, who had just flown down from East Desolate Island, suddenly shifted his gaze lightly towards the peak of Lingxiu Mountain in the depths of the Medicine Pavilion.

There, remarkably, stood two young individuals—a man and a woman.

"What is it?" Zhou Youwei asked in puzzlement.

"Let’s go over there first." Ye Xuan locked his gaze on the mountain peak before heading towards it.

Zhou Youwei followed alongside Ye Xuan, with Lu Li, Qiao Xinyu, East Desolate Wolf, and Ao Rulong naturally joining them.

Their descent didn’t conceal their presence in the slightest, overtly brazen.

Yet the terrifying aura of the East Desolate Wolf deterred anyone from daring to provoke them.

At this moment, the multitude of strong figures from the Medicine Pavilion waiting outside the pavilion hall, upon seeing Ye Xuan and his group suddenly change course, were momentarily caught off guard.

"Damn, they’re heading to Little Pearl Mountain!"

Elder An Yunfeng’s face dramatically changed, he said in a heavy voice.

"Changtian and Princess Dugu are both there!" The other elders too abruptly changed their expressions.

The Pavilion Master Qi Jianqing stood with arms crossed, a glint of gravity in his eyes, saying sternly, "You all wait here, I will go take a look."

"Pavilion Master..."

An Yunfeng planned to say something.

Qi Jianqing raised his hand, signaling not to speak further, and flew towards Little Pearl Mountain.

An Yunfeng and the others witnessing this scene felt their hearts leap into their throats.

They hadn’t anticipated Ye Xuan arriving at the Medicine Pavilion, without a word, going to find Ji Changtian and Dugu Jing, completely unforeseen.

Meanwhile, a number of the undying existences within the Medicine Pavilion were secretly tense.

Dugu Jing’s presence was extraordinarily special, holding immense importance for the Medicine Pavilion; if something were to happen to her there, they would undoubtedly face retribution from the Ancient Demon Country!

This matter was discussed clearly with the ancient ancestor of the Ancient Demon Country yesterday.

At this moment, on Little Pearl Mountain.

Ji Changtian’s expression thoroughly changed.

"Trouble, they’re coming this way. Princess, we’d better retreat for now!" Ji Changtian urged eagerly.

The original hatred and envy towards Ye Xuan seemed to evaporate entirely at this moment.

This young man exerted such overwhelming pressure, making one completely daunted to confront him!

"Ji Daoist friend can retreat for now." Dugu Jing smiled faintly, showing no intention of leaving.

This instantly made Ji Changtian somewhat anxious.

Yet seeing Dugu Jing’s serene demeanor, he felt as if leaving truly would be somewhat disgraceful.

Reflecting on this, Ji Changtian gritted his teeth secretly and steeled himself, staring intently at the approaching Ye Xuan and his group, his hands under the robe tightly clenched into fists, knuckles pale.

This is not hatred.

This is simply panic.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Xuan and his group arrived at the arena on Little Pearl Mountain, merely ten meters away from Dugu Jing and Ji Changtian.

Ye Xuan’s gaze fell upon Dugu Jing, scrutinizing her thoroughly.

Meanwhile, Dugu Jing was also meticulously scrutinizing Ye Xuan.

Ji Changtian stood beside them, his complexion slightly pale, wanting to speak to ease the atmosphere, but the aura emitted by the East Desolate Wolf behind Ye Xuan rendered him unable to utter a word.

"You’re quite impressive." Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze, sincerely telling Dugu Jing.

"You’re impressive too." Dugu Jing smiled faintly.
