The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor

Chapter 2012: Chapter 2009: Return

Ye Xuan returned silently to Zhongxuan Mountain.

The first to notice Ye Xuan was not the Void Dark Crow but Fairy Bixia, Tang Siyu.

When Ye Xuan returned to his courtyard, Tang Siyu happened to be there practicing alchemy.

Seeing Ye Xuan return, Tang Siyu was overjoyed.

"My lord!"

"You’ve finally come back!"

Tang Siyu greeted Ye Xuan while continuing her alchemical work.

It’s undeniable that Tang Siyu’s alchemy technique is simply unparalleled.

She was already proficient with alchemy techniques, able to multitask and simultaneously craft various elixirs.

Throughout history, those who could reach her level are few and far between.

Perhaps only Ye Xuan’s senior disciple Jiang Yan could surpass Tang Siyu.

Seeing Tang Siyu, Ye Xuan rolled his eyes: "Why are you practicing alchemy here in my place?"

Tang Siyu pouted, slightly aggrieved: "Isn’t it because I’ve missed my lord so much."

The hairless fowl nearby looked at Ye Xuan, then at Tang Siyu, curiously pondering the girl’s identity.

Anyone who can talk to Emperor Ye in this manner surely must not have a simple identity.

"Oh?"

Tang Siyu also noticed the hairless fowl, immediately attracted by its odd characteristics, she pointed at it and asked Ye Xuan, "My lord, where did you find this wild chicken?"

The hairless fowl instantly went berserk: "You’re the wild chicken, I’m your home’s Phoenix Lord, the Phoenix of Phoenix!"

Tang Siyu couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle: "You, a phoenix? I’ve seen real phoenixes before."

The hairless fowl raised its neck, "Ordinary mortal, you don’t know a thing."

Ye Xuan patted the hairless fowl’s head.

The hairless fowl immediately shut up.

Ye Xuan turned to Tang Siyu, lightly asking: "Has Youwei returned yet?"

Tang Siyu quickly nodded: "She returned a few times, but seeing you weren’t around, she left again."

Ye Xuan asked: "Do you know where she went?"

Tang Siyu replied: "The last time she returned was half a month ago. She asked me to tell you when you came back that she had to go to Ruins City."

"By the way, my lord, where is Ruins City? Why have I never heard of it?"

Tang Siyu seemed quite curious.

"Ruins City..."

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes, his gaze deep with a hint of solemnity.

It’s a forbidden land beyond All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

This place is very eerie.

Eerie to the point where, even after living for endless ages, Ye Xuan hasn’t fully determined the origins of this forbidden land.

"Other than that, did she leave behind any messages?"

Ye Xuan didn’t answer Tang Siyu’s question but asked.

Tang Siyu thought for a moment and said: "Earlier, she mentioned she had visited the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld, and said if you walked the Emperor Road back then, you could make a trip there. If the time has passed, then it’s unnecessary."

"Has the time passed now?"

"It’s passed..."

"Hmm."

Ye Xuan pondered for a moment, somewhat intrigued.

Does Youwei have arrangements in the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld?

This is getting interesting.

Hope they don’t end up clashing.

"Anyway, focus on your alchemy."

Ye Xuan nodded in affirmation.

Tang Siyu blinked: "Is there nothing else my lord wants to say?"

Ye Xuan glanced at Tang Siyu: "Seeking trouble, are you?"

Tang Siyu blushed slightly and hummed lightly: "If you don’t want to say, then don’t say it."

The hairless fowl couldn’t help but click its tongue.

Tang Siyu glared angrily at the hairless fowl: "Annoying wild chicken, scram!"

The hairless fowl couldn’t stand it: "I am a phoenix!"

"Scram!"

Tang Siyu kicked it out.

The hairless fowl sneered, as the progeny of a phoenix, fearing a mere girl?

And then...

The hairless fowl was promptly kicked out of the courtyard.

The hairless fowl struggled up from the ground, feeling deeply shaken.

This girl...

Is not simple!

Just then, the hairless fowl noticed a burly man standing nearby, arms crossed, gazing coldly at him.

The hairless fowl’s temper flared up, "What are you looking at, haven’t seen your Phoenix Lord before?"

The burly man coolly said: "Never seen a phoenix that looks so much like a wild chicken."

Just as the hairless fowl was about to explode with rage, Ye Xuan’s voice rang out from within.

"An ally."

The hairless fowl had to suppress its anger.

The burly man was none other than the Guardian God, Bear On The Mountain, now serving as Tang Siyu’s guard.

The hairless fowl glared at the Bear On The Mountain.

The Bear looked obliquely at the hairless fowl.

Neither dared to make a move in the end.

Buzz————

At this moment, both of them sensed a ripple in the void.

Extremely subtle, even for them, it nearly went unnoticed.

However, since the void ripple appeared in Ye Xuan’s courtyard, they did not intrude.

Ye Xuan, hands behind his back, looked at the shimmering lake, softly asking: "How many were killed."

Behind Ye Xuan appeared, stealthily, a slim man clad in a Black Robe.

His cheeks were gaunt, cheekbones high, his eyes sunken but sharp as blades.

Void Dark Crow!

Right Envoy of the Void Sect.

"To report to Emperor Ye, three hundred Great Saints, one Quasi-Emperor."

The Void Dark Crow spoke calmly.

As if stating a most ordinary affair.

If word of this reached the outside, it might shock All Heavens.

A Quasi-Emperor.

Three hundred Great Saints!

Just killed on a whim?

Of course, all this wasn’t solely the credit of the Void Dark Crow.

But the combined efforts of the Void Sect, Black Blade Sect, and Asura Hall.

Those from the Double Emperors in the Lower Realm seeking trouble were nearly eradicated.

This is why, even though Heavenly Dao Suppression was lifted to the Quasi-Emperor Realm, the Emperor Immortal Sect remains untouched.

"Additionally, Emperor General Tian Tu has returned to the Heavenly Domain."

The Void Dark Crow conveyed this news to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan remained silent.

The Void Dark Crow also kept silent.

After a long silence.

Ye Xuan lightly clenched his right hand.

A small stone appeared in Ye Xuan’s hand.

This small stone was smooth and round, quite pleasing.

Ye Xuan tossed the stone up, catching it, and then tossing it again, repeating the motion.

After several iterations, Ye Xuan threw the stone.

Without exerting much effort.

Plop plop plop————

The stone skipped across the lake’s surface.

Eighteen.

Ye Xuan counted quietly.

Just like when he was young.

Ye Xuan smiled faintly.

The Void Dark Crow watched the scene, puzzled.

He didn’t understand why Emperor Ye would engage in such a childlike game.

But he wouldn’t question.

For anything Emperor Ye did surely carried deep significance.

"Have you ever played this?"

Ye Xuan asked.

The Void Dark Crow paused, then nodded: "Played when I was a child."

Ye Xuan sighed: "Yes, I only played when I was a child too."

The Void Dark Crow didn’t know how to respond.

Ye Xuan seemed slightly lost in thought.

After a moment, Ye Xuan regained his composure and said calmly: "Qin Qi is in the Demons Great World, he is out of seclusion."

The Void Dark Crow’s fighting spirit instantly blazed: "Does Emperor Ye approve?"

Ye Xuan chuckled lightly: "I never mind the feuds among the Thirteen Sects of the Revenge Lineage, as long as it doesn’t lead to chaos."

The Void Dark Crow bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Emperor Ye, for granting this!"

Ye Xuan waved his hand: "Go on."
