The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 842 - 839 Leaving

Chapter 842: Chapter 839 Leaving

"Following Emperor Ye’s decree." Qin Yanbing respectfully complied and took Fang Li away.

Meanwhile, the disciples of the Medicine Pavilion who had already left the venue felt a sense of dissatisfaction.

They couldn’t fathom why their meticulously crafted elixirs and earnest competition in the tournament ended up being mere foils to a menial disciple.

And worse, a waste who had served as a menial disciple for three years!

Such an individual made not just the true disciples uncomfortable, but even the ordinary disciples couldn’t bear it.

It felt as if they had swallowed a fly.

The most affected was naturally the Saint Heir Ji Changtian.

Recognized as the premier figure among the young generation of the Medicine Pavilion, even many Medicine Emperor-level true disciples gave way to him, yet now he was reduced to a foil for a waste.

This incited outrage among Ji Changtian’s followers, and they hurled curses as they left.

"What a joke! An enormous joke!"

Their anger reached its peak.

"The Saint Heir, peerless in divinity, and a Child of Destiny, was disdained by that night... that guy, which is simply unjustifiable!"

One disciple was about to curse outright, but when mentioning Ye Xuan, a fearful look crossed his face, and he hastily changed his wording.

"Indeed, not just within our Medicine Pavilion, but even across the entire East Desolate and the five great domains of Daozhou, who among the young generation can compete with the Saint Heir? What a travesty this turned out to be!"

"This alchemy competition is simply an enormous joke!"

Many disciples felt indignant.

Their indignation was coupled with a sense of injustice towards the Saint Heir Ji Changtian.

Why was such a talent ignored in favor of a menial disciple who frequently botched his alchemy attempts?

It was an insult to them!

An insult too galling to ignore.

Although they dared not speak against Ye Xuan in his presence, they were outspoken once they left!

"Silence!" Ji Changtian, with a grim face, shouted lowly.

"Senior Brother..."

The crowd immediately stopped their cursing and turned their eyes towards Ji Changtian.

Ji Changtian, his back to them, stood at the cliff’s edge, face dark as iron, and spoke word by word, "Within their mandated circle, our words are equivalent to farts, while their words are supreme, inviolable laws!"

These words resonated with everyone, who quickly chimed in, "Exactly, exactly!"

Ji Changtian looked up at the night sky, took a deep breath, a glimmer of resolve flashing in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "To dictate the rules, one must possess unmatched strength. This night’s victor is Fang Li, isn’t it? I will prove through action that everyone else’s choice was wrong!"

"And I am the only correct answer!"

"We vow to follow the Saint Heir to death!" the crowd shouted in unison.

This indeed caused quite a stir.

However, the upper echelons turned a blind eye to this commotion.

The disciples of the Medicine Pavilion felt that Ji Changtian and his followers weren’t wrong, as they shared the same dissatisfaction.

Of course.

This was merely their sentiment.

It would take many years for them to understand why Fang Li was the victor...

And realize how terrifying Ye Xuan truly was!

This, however, is another story, something for the future.

Returning to the present Ye Xuan.

After leaving that vast cloud, Ye Xuan headed towards East Desolate Island.

"Aren’t you taking me with you?"

Dugu Jing suddenly appeared in front of Ye Xuan, speaking unhurriedly.

Ye Xuan glanced at Dugu Jing indifferently, and said leisurely, "I’ve imparted what needs to be taught. Now, you should practice instead of following me around. Return to the Ancient Demon Country; I’ll visit you in the future, and then we’ll see if you’re qualified to join my ranks."

At those words, a trace of confusion appeared on Dugu Jing’s flawless, unsurpassed beauty.

Was this man actually rejecting her?

What did he mean by testing if she was qualified to be under his command?

If this were said in the Ancient Demon Country, they might drown him with their derision.

Ye Xuan, noticing Dugu Jing’s change in expression, calmly stated, "It’s true you’ve achieved the way of the Immaculate Immortal Lotus, but to attain the Purity Immortal Body is not something granted with just the Immaculate Immortal Lotus."

Dugu Jing suddenly felt choked with emotions, her chest heaving as she attempted to retort.

But Ye Xuan did not give her a chance to speak further, transforming into a Divine Rainbow, he soared skyward and entered East Desolate Island.

Soon after, East Desolate Island rumbled westward towards the Southern Domain, beyond the Medicine Pavilion.

Watching the East Desolate Island gradually disappear under the starry sky, Dugu Jing’s beautiful eyes were filled with killing intent, grinding her teeth as she said, "You, associated with the Revenge Lineage... impressive, formidable, as if anyone would care to follow you!"

Speaking, Dugu Jing stamped her foot in the void, appearing quite irate.

Had this scene been observed by those in the Ancient Demon Country, it would have undoubtedly shocked them.

The usually unperturbed Dugu Jing, unmoved even by a collapsing mountain, displayed such behavior?

Only after some time did Dugu Jing come to her senses, with a pensive gaze, she sighed softly, "The Human Clan has a saying: take a favor and be beholden. It seems there’s no turning back now..."

Dugu Jing gently rubbed her forehead, seemingly irritated with herself for rashly agreeing.

Yet, inside, she harbored no regret.

Others might not know, but Dugu Jing understood clearly that the technique Ye Xuan imparted to her was unparalleled.

In her view, it even surpassed the top alchemy techniques of the Medicine Pavilion.

That’s why she, who had never practiced alchemy, succeeded effortlessly in creating an elixir during this competition.

This was entirely due to the miraculous alchemy technique Ye Xuan had passed onto her the previous night.

"Never mind, let me return to the Southern Ridge Divine Mountain and master these skills first..."

Dugu Jing made her decision.

At this moment.

East Desolate Island.

Qiao Xinyu opened his mouth several times but ended up saying nothing.

Although Ye Xuan didn’t look at Qiao Xinyu, he understood what Qiao Xinyu wanted to ask and softly said, "You want to ask why not bring her along, right?"

Qiao Xinyu knelt on one knee and respectfully said, "This subordinate dares not speculate on Emperor Ye’s thoughts."

Ye Xuan waved his hand, "This isn’t the Revenge Lineage, we don’t have such strict rules. It’s okay to ask about these things."

"Yes, Emperor Ye." Qiao Xinyu then stood up.

"Let me ask you a simple question: the Immaculate Immortal Lotus or the Purity Immortal Body, which would you choose?" Ye Xuan asked.

"Naturally, the Purity Immortal Body," Qiao Xinyu responded without hesitation.

"Exactly." Ye Xuan smiled slightly.

"Do you mean, Emperor Ye..." Qiao Xinyu’s pupils slightly constricted, recalling the peculiarities of the technique Ye Xuan had imparted.

Could it be that within it lies the secret of the Purity Immortal Body!?
