The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 836 - 833: Capture

Chapter 836: Chapter 833: Capture

After entering Yang Tianxin’s Sea of Consciousness through the center of his brow, Ye Xuan found that memory.

Within that memory, it indeed started as Yang Tianxin said, receiving a summons from Emperor Mu to participate in an alchemist competition.

However, in that competition, Yang Tianxin did not lose at all. Instead, he entered the top three and went to meet Mu Yun with the other two.

It was there that Yang Tianxin deceived Ye Xuan, putting on a very guilty demeanor in front of him.

And it was there that Ye Xuan identified Yang Tianxin’s lie, casually saying he would pass on the Hundred Herbs Medicine Canon to Yang Tianxin, who was so thrilled that he let his guard down, allowing Ye Xuan to directly pry into his memory.

Indeed, Ye Xuan’s judgment was proven correct.

After being summoned by Mu Yun, Yang Tianxin was ordered to refine the top-grade Corpse Dissolving Powder.

Moreover, from Yang Tianxin’s memory, it seemed they were not summoned for the first time; besides them, there were other legendary top alchemists tasked by Emperor Mu to manufacture this item.

But Mu Yun did not provide specific instructions on the refinement, instead asking everyone to freely utilize their best methods to create their most potent Corpse Dissolving Powder.

Ye Xuan gazed at the lifeless Yang Tianxin before him, muttering to himself, "I wondered why someone of your talent would take so long to refine just ten Yin Yang Mystics Pills and remain only at the Medicine Venerate realm as an alchemist. Turns out, you’ve willingly fallen from grace."

"Back then, I thought you had decent potential, intending to make you the next Medicine Emperor, but you chose to become Mu Yun’s pawn..."

Ye Xuan’s eyes grew cold and severe, his words slow and deliberate: "Ah, Little Mu Yun, you really think a mere Corpse Dissolving Powder can affect the master’s body? How naive."

Why would Mu Yun summon Yang Tianxin and other top alchemists to refine various Corpse Dissolving Powders?

What else could he be aiming for, other than taking advantage of his body?

Except that, throughout ancient times, there were cases where such immortal creatures had such thoughts, only to meet tragic ends at Ye Xuan’s hands.

That body is known only to Ye Xuan himself and the Emperor Burial Lord—no one else knows the secret.

Changxi and Mu Yun’s talents are indeed fearsome.

But through ages past, Ye Xuan has seen more terrifying existences than them.

Don’t forget, even the invincible Double Emperors were taught by Ye Xuan, who knows far too many of their secrets.

Perhaps this is also why they chose to kill him—one of the reasons.

Doubtlessly, the Double Emperors must have parted ways by now, facing each other in battle...

Be it Changxi or Mu Yun.

No matter how well they hid their ambitions in front of Ye Xuan back then, he could always see their lurking desires.

Perhaps in their view, this world can have only one supreme.

Ye Xuan murmured, "I hope when we meet in the Heavenly Domain, you both are still alive, because..."

"The master must personally crush you."

With those words.

"Xinyu," Ye Xuan lightly called.

Qiao Xinyu released the Dharma Seal.

Ye Xuan and Yang Tianxin reappeared before everyone.

"Eh?!"

Seeing Yang Tianxin lying still on the ground, a look of terror on his face, Ao Rulong was astonished.

Wasn’t it said they wouldn’t kill Yang Tianxin?

Ao Rulong subconsciously glanced at Ye Xuan, feeling a chill in his heart.

And East Desolate Wolf, witnessing that scene, lowered his head further, not needing anyone to tell him what happened.

Surely, this fellow named Yang Tianxin must have messed up in some matters.

At that moment, East Desolate Wolf felt a bit fortunate, grateful for surviving three days in the Soul Prison, thus reclaiming a tiny life; otherwise, he too might be a lifeless corpse now.

"Go, call the oldest one from the Medicine Pavilion," Ye Xuan said to East Desolate Wolf.

"Yes, Master!" East Desolate Wolf obeyed, turned around, walked out of the great hall, and stepped into the air.

Meanwhile, the ancient monsters of the Medicine Pavilion who had been keeping an eye on the Hundred Herbs Hall all along were dumbfounded.

"Yang Tianxin is dead?!"

This left them in disbelief, unable to accept the reality.

He was the Medicine Pavilion’s most promising figure, with a future of becoming a Medicine Emperor.

Yet now, he has fallen before Ye Xuan!

But before their fury rose, in the deepest territory of the Medicine Pavilion’s sect, an intense battle suddenly broke out, accompanied by angry roars.

Rumble————

The entire Medicine Pavilion shook like an earthquake.

Even some mountain ranges were uprooted directly.

In the dark sky above, a giant Desolate Wolf occasionally appeared.

Sometimes ancient Dharma Forms manifested there.

"Calamity, the Ancestor is facing an enemy!"

The strong ones of the Medicine Pavilion, who were originally enraged by Yang Tianxin’s death, all turned pale.

Not long after, the battle ceased.

In the darkness, East Desolate Wolf tied up an elder tightly, flying across the void, descending in the Hundred Herbs Hall, and tossing him to the ground.

The elder’s face was extremely unpleasant, struggling frantically. Upon seeing Ye Xuan, he said in a deep voice, "What is the meaning of this, you clearly said you wouldn’t kill Yang Tianxin, now you’re going back on your word!"

At the same time, one after another, ancient monsters from the Medicine Pavilion released their aura, surrounding the entire Hundred Herbs Hall, ready to attack en masse.

Qiao Xinyu’s right hand was already quietly gripping the hilt of the Black Saber behind her, ready to draw and kill at any moment.

Ye Xuan rose from his seat, hands behind his back, speaking blandly: "I killed him, naturally proving he deserved to die. Summoning you here implies a matter for discussion. If, after the discussion, you still disagree, then we shall resort to our respective tactics."

"Whether dying or surviving then, let fate decide."

"Release him."

East Desolate Wolf waved his hand, and the Golden Rope binding the elder seemed to have a life of its own, flying back into East Desolate Wolf’s hand.

Boom!

But at that instant, the elder suddenly erupted, intending to kill Ye Xuan!

And at that same moment, within the Hundred Herbs Hall, a black light flashed.

The crowd felt their vision blacken, and Qiao Xinyu appeared out of nowhere behind the elder, the tip of her sword poised at the back of his head, needing but slight pressure to pierce through his skull.

The elder’s right hand formed a claw, only three inches away from Ye Xuan.

Breaths were held, the scene seemingly paused there.

The elder’s eyes brimmed with shock.

"Old man, are you truly courting death?" East Desolate Wolf stared at the elder with a vicious expression.

"Husband!" Zhou Youwei’s face whitened, evidently quite frightened.

Lu Li was also startled, glaring at the elder with a hostile gaze.

The elder didn’t seem all that aged, his hair and beard still black, yet this man was the most ancient ancestor of the Medicine Pavilion, holding an esteemed position with overwhelming prowess.

Had it not been for Qiao Xinyu and the East Desolate Wolf present at the scene, things might not have been easily managed.

"Who exactly are you?!" the black-haired elder fixed his gaze on Ye Xuan and asked heavily.

At that very moment, if it had been someone else, they would have been scared witless. However, this young man was unmoved, tranquil as water, like a mere spectator.

Such terrifying composure is far beyond what a young person could possess.
