The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 95 - 94 Father-in-law Zhou Zihuang

Chapter 95: Chapter 94 Father-in-law Zhou Zihuang

"If it weren’t for your father and your brother’s sake, just for your words alone, I could have killed you a hundred times," Ye Xuan swept a glance at Li Xue, no longer wasting words on this mindless woman and turned to look at the Human Emperor.

"The Human Emperor of Lie Tian Heavenly Country, I presume."

"I have a question for you."

Ye Xuan faced the Human Emperor with not a hint of awe, only calm composure, and spoke evenly, "The accusation Wang Shiqi made, that people from Emperor Immortal Sect stepping into Lie Tian Heavenly Country are seen as a provocation worthy of death sentence, was it decreed by you?"

Ye Xuan’s words brought a hushed silence over the Imperial City.

Yan Feng and the others stared dumbfounded at Ye Xuan, somewhat bewildered.

Is this guy insane, has he lost his mind? Who do you think you’re talking to?

That’s the Human Emperor of Lie Tian Heavenly Country, what kind of attitude is that?

Looking for death!

Many hearts were stirred by tumultuous waves, intimidated by Ye Xuan’s audacity.

Facing the Human Emperor of Lie Tian Heavenly Country, he dared to speak such words of accountability; did he eat the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard?!

This scene was also noticed by many powerful beings inside the Inner City of the Imperial City.

For a moment, numerous strong individuals were speechless regarding Ye Xuan.

"It’s said that Ye Xuan, the son-in-law of the Emperor Immortal Sect, is an idiot and a good-for-nothing. Although the ’good-for-nothing’ part isn’t apparent, his idiocy is now crystal clear."

"Indeed, if he weren’t an idiot, how could he utter such mad and reckless words? Even if the Human Emperor had never made such a decree, it’s not something an idiot has any right to question!"

"Defying the majestic authority of the Human Emperor, he should be sentenced to death!"

At this moment, countless people believed that Ye Xuan was a fool.

However, Ye Xuan had no interest in listening to those voices, as he calmly observed the Human Emperor.

The Human Emperor was enshrouded in a sacred brilliance, appearing like an invincible Immortal King, his face obscured.

But the terrifying pressure he exuded made it difficult for people to breathe.

The Human Emperor stood there, even making people forget about the dark giant hand covering the sky above the Sky Dome.

It was as if the Human Emperor was the center of the world!

In that moment, the Human Emperor looked indifferently towards Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei and, in a measured tone, said, "Lie Tian General Wang Shiqi, along with the five marquises, all perished because of you."

"What should your punishment be?"

Clearly, the Human Emperor had no intention of answering Ye Xuan’s question but instead went straight to the deaths in Lie Tian Heavenly Country and accused Ye Xuan!

When the Human Emperor spoke, his words were as revered as if they were engraved in gold.

"Death penalty!" echoed the roar from many people within the Imperial City.

Ye Xuan, Zhou Youwei, and Zhou Bingyi, the three of them, were like those forsaken by the world, looking so lonely amidst the endless vilification.

Zhou Bingyi’s face turned pale, with a hint of outrage and even more panic in her eyes.

What infuriated her was that it was the people of Lie Tian Heavenly Country who killed them, yet these people acted as if they were blind, calling for a death sentence.

The panic stemmed from facing so many enemies that Zhou Bingyi felt as if she was standing in a despairing abyss.

Zhou Youwei stood by Ye Xuan’s side, her hand holding the hilt of a three-foot green blade in reverse, her stunning white attire unmatched in beauty, her long hair reaching her waist, exuding a remarkable grace. Her beautiful eyes were serene, showing no signs of disarray.

Ye Xuan’s hands were in his pockets, and he suddenly chuckled, "In this world, no one yet has the right to judge my life or death."

"Even if you are the Human Emperor."

"You are far from qualified."

A faint smile played on Ye Xuan’s lips as he calmly looked at the Human Emperor.

In the face of such immense pressure, to utter such arrogant yet confident words, perhaps only Ye Xuan could.

Ye Xuan’s declaration once again caused an uproar.

"This fool is too arrogant!"

"Just a stupid son-in-law, and he dares to insult the Human Emperor, kill him!"

Countless indignant voices rose up.

For these people, the Human Emperor was the most revered person in their world; hearing Ye Xuan speak disrespectfully towards the Human Emperor, how could they tolerate it?

Yan Feng and others from the same street as Ye Xuan, upon hearing those voices, felt a sourness in their hearts.

Is this Ye Xuan truly a fool?

What a joke.

If so, how was He Xiao crippled?

They had seen with their own eyes what Ye Xuan did.

This ’fool’ is not the same as rumors suggest.

On the contrary, Yan Feng was convinced that if Ye Xuan could survive this ordeal today, he would surely soar and undergo the Dragon Transformation!

Facing the Human Emperor, to remain so composed, there were definitely not many who could.

But not only was Ye Xuan able to remain calm, he even dared speak such arrogant words. Could an ordinary person achieve that?

Certainly not!

"I."

Amidst a wave of discussions, the Human Emperor slowly began to speak.

All noises instantly dissipated, and everyone quietly waited for the Human Emperor to speak.

"If I say you are guilty of a capital offense, then you are guilty of a capital offense."

The Human Emperor spoke slowly, carrying an invisible power that drew people’s hearts, making it seem like his words were the ultimate truth of this world, the grand Dao of the human realm!

Irrefutable!

"That’s right, if His Majesty the Human Emperor says you are guilty of a capital offense, then you are guilty of a capital offense; do you still think to argue?"

Suddenly, waves of voices rose within the Imperial City.

"Oh?"

But at that moment, a lazy voice suddenly rang out from a distance, growing louder as if someone was rapidly approaching the Imperial City.

A stream of clear air surged from afar, swiftly arriving like a divine sword that carved out a bright path in the darkness of the night!

A figure arrived with a divine sword floating behind, hands clasped behind the back, standing above the sky dome, confronting the Human Emperor as equals.

On the figure, there were strands of terrifying aura that no one dared to look at directly!

All eyes were drawn to this person.

"Who is this person?"

"Could it be reinforcements?"

"No, it’s very likely to be the mysterious powerhouse behind that fool Ye Xuan!"

Inside the Imperial City, many were secretly guessing the identity of the newcomer.

In the Inner City of the Imperial City, many powerhouses showed a look of gravity, seemingly extremely wary of the newcomer.

Even the gaze of the Human Emperor was drawn to the newcomer, no longer looking at Ye Xuan and the others but towards the newcomer.

"I, as the Sect Master, would like to see how you determine a capital crime for my son-in-law."

The lazy voice resonated, clearly coming from the mouth of this person.

The newcomer was none other than the Sect Master of the Emperor Immortal Sect, Ye Xuan’s father-in-law—Zhou Zihuang!

"Father!"

Zhou Bingyi, who was behind Ye Xuan, was already overjoyed and couldn’t help but shout out loud.

Zhou Youwei, standing beside Ye Xuan, also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, her tensed nerves relaxing slightly.

Ye Xuan looked towards the newcomer, his expression carrying a trace of curiosity: "This guy is my father-in-law, huh? Seems like he has quite the presence..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Youwei couldn’t help but facepalm.

"Hmph, father is the strongest expert in our Emperor Immortal Sect; this Human Emperor is definitely no match for father!" Zhou Bingyi uttered with a snort, pride shining in her pretty face.

Ye Xuan chuckled, "Have you forgotten your recent behavior?"

This little auntie had just been scared out of her wits.

Remembering her behavior just moments ago, Zhou Bingyi’s face reddened, but she still retorted stubbornly: "That’s a natural human reaction, you wouldn’t understand even if I explained it to you."

"I think it’s because you’re simply a coward," Ye Xuan teased Zhou Bingyi with a sidelong glance and a half-smile.

"You!" Zhou Bingyi was instantly frustrated and turned her head away, pitifully appealing to Zhou Youwei: "Sister, Ye Xuan is bullying me!"

As she spoke, Zhou Bingyi also gave Ye Xuan a provocative look, as if to say: You bullying me might not matter, but my sister will deal with you!

Zhou Youwei couldn’t help but hide her amusement at their bickering, but she still gently shook her head and said, "Bingyi, the crisis isn’t over yet."

Right now, they were still in the Imperial City.

Yet Zhou Bingyi snorted, "What’s there to fear? With father here, they definitely can’t stop us."

Ye Xuan cast a sidelong glance at Zhou Bingyi and said, "Then let’s just stay in this Imperial City and not leave."

Zhou Bingyi’s heart immediately tightened, and she quickly retorted, "Don’t do that!"

"Scared now?" Ye Xuan’s smile teased the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Bingyi’s eyes twitched, realizing she had fallen into a trap, and she glared at Ye Xuan, saying irritably, "I don’t want to talk to you anymore."

While the three of them were conversing.

The Human Emperor and the Sect Master of the Emperor Immortal Sect, Zhou Zihuang, faced each other.

Although the two were merely standing there, the atmosphere they released was clashing wildly, as if two domains were colliding, causing the very void to twist and distort.

The Human Emperor looked at Zhou Zihuang indifferently and in a composed and deliberate manner said, "As soon as the crisis of the Emperor Immortal Sect was resolved, you, as the Sect Master, made your way back. A grand entrance indeed."

His words directly implicated Zhou Zihuang, hinting that during the crisis of the Emperor Immortal Sect, he had made no appearance, but now he had returned to show off his might, truly ’remarkable’.
