The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1698 - 1695: The Outcome

"A mere pair of Space-time Eyes is hardly something within your comprehension."

Ye Xuan stared at the apparition with a look of detached indifference.

The deep shock reflected in the phantom’s gaze was unmistakable to him.

Throughout the long stretch of history, countless individuals had dared to underestimate him.

Yet, every single one of them had ultimately paid an exorbitant price.

As Ye Xuan had stated, not even the likes of the Emperor Burial Lord or the Old Ghost Liu Tree could fathom his true depth, let alone anyone else.

In this vast existence, only Ye Xuan fully grasped the heights he had reached.

Even to those who considered themselves close to him, the secrets held within Ye Xuan remained nothing more than the tip of an iceberg.

There are burdens that only Ye Xuan carries alone.

"I never imagined that you would have visited that location."

The master of the Space-time Eyes grew visibly solemn, discarding his previous air of indifference.

"And I, for my part, did not expect that you would even be aware of such a place."

Ye Xuan offered a calm, steady smile.

The master of the Space-time Eyes replied at a measured pace, "Indeed, very few within your All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds have journeyed there. You truly surprise me."

"'Your' All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds?"

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, observing the owner of the Space-time Eyes with intense scrutiny.

Could it be that this entity was not a native of this realm, but rather an interloper from the Dou Tian Divine Domain?

It was a shame the Nine Netherworld Phoenix was absent; its presence could have verified the truth.

The master of the Space-time Eyes regarded Ye Xuan and offered a faint smile, "Forget it. Today’s transaction is declared void. I look forward to our next encounter."

With that final remark, the phantom dissolved into nothingness.

He vanished without leaving a single parting word.

"Lord?!"

The sudden departure left the giants of the Evil God Sect completely stunned and frozen in place.

Just like that, he was gone!?

Ye Xuan raised a brow, genuinely surprised. He had anticipated a confrontation that might have helped unveil his opponent's origins, but this individual had chosen to retreat instead.

It was now confirmed; his adversary was not from this All Heavens.

The suspicion that he hailed from the Dou Tian Divine Domain was growing stronger.

However, from what Ye Xuan understood, the beings from the Dou Tian Divine Domain who remained in this realm were largely sealed, suppressed, trapped in eternal slumber, or—like those in the Ghost Land—lacking corporeal forms, barely clinging to reality.

"Have those individuals already begun to reach their hands into this domain..."

Ye Xuan murmured to himself, a growing sense of urgency rising in his heart.

Though his information was sparse, he could discern a clear pattern.

Currently, the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds remain under the restraint of the Heavenly Dao Suppression. Once the designs of the Evil God Sect come to fruition, chaos will inevitably erupt across all existence.

Countless souls would meet a tragic demise.

It is widely accepted that after the lifting of the Heavenly Dao Suppression, the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds would enter an era of glory surpassing that of the Emperor Era, where every being might soar like a dragon.

Under such conditions, even if the Dou Tian Divine Domain initiated an open war, their realm would still possess the strength to resist.

The movements of his opponent were likely nothing more than a prelude to that future conflict.

This was the most logical assessment.

However, Ye Xuan did not limit his perspective to this single outcome.

Information shared by an opponent is often misleading, deliberately nudging you toward a specific, false conclusion.

Regardless, one thing remained certain: his intervention today had effectively dismantled their scheme.

With that thought, Ye Xuan gazed at the giants assembled within the Divine Hall, a sardonic smirk playing on his lips: "Does any piece of trash here care to speak?"

His words whipped the gathering into a frenzy of rage.

Each of them was a supreme overlord of his own realm, yet they were being insulted as mere filth to their faces.

And yet, they didn't dare to offer a single word of protest.

Their mighty lord had already fled; what power did they truly have to challenge the mysterious Undying Night Emperor?

They had clearly heard the dialogue between Ye Xuan and that mysterious lord.

This Ye Xuan possessed an imperial title!

The implications of this were well known to them.

An imperial title could only be claimed by a true Great Emperor!

And a Great Emperor served as the embodiment of an entire era!

Much like the Heavenly Dragon Emperor of the Heavenly Dragon Era.

Although they hadn't heard of the Undying Night Emperor, the fact that even their mysterious master had been so cautious carried enormous weight.

"What is your intention?"

In the end, it was the Evil Eye Divine King who stepped forward to address Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan looked at him, speaking in a lazy, unhurried tone: "Disband the Evil God Sect."

"What!?"

The shock was instantaneous, echoing throughout the hall.

The Evil God Sect was their foundation and power base; how could they possibly disband it?

The Evil Eye Divine King glared at Ye Xuan, his expression twisted in displeasure.

"A sect as meaningless as this has no reason to continue existing. If you refuse to disband, this emperor will personally erase you all today."

Ye Xuan’s gaze grew icy, his tone steady: "What do you think you are doing? Creating discord in the All Heavens? Do you honestly believe you are qualified? This emperor has made his ultimatum."

"Within three days, if I hear of any further trouble caused by the Evil God Sect, I will hunt you to the edges of Heaven and down into the Netherworld until every one of you is destroyed."

The final words were razor-sharp, dripping with killing intent.

The giants within the Divine Hall felt a chill penetrate their very souls.

Ye Xuan glanced around the room, then broke into a sudden chuckle, saying: "I am a man of reason; anyone with objections may voice them now."

The giants exchanged uneasy glances, but remained deathly silent.

The decision had been forced upon them; even if they harbored monumentous objections, they didn't dare utter a single syllable!

The Evil Eye Divine King opened his mouth to reply, but eventually fell silent with a frustrated sigh.

"Very well. It seems that everyone is in complete agreement."

Ye Xuan found this result quite satisfying.

Without adding another word, he vanished from sight.

His Emperor Soul returned to his physical vessel.

Once Ye Xuan had departed, the hall was plunged into a heavy silence.

"What are we to do?"

After a long interval, one of the giants spoke with a voice full of bitterness.

"First, we must contact that lord and see how he intends to proceed," someone suggested.

"But the lord just abandoned us. If Ye Xuan returns and he flees again, we are as good as dead!" another retorted with frantic worry.

"Then we disband."

The Evil Eye Divine King’s voice sounded hollow and defeated.

"What?!"

"Do you realize what you’re suggesting, Evil Eye?!"

"Our sacred sect has weathered the ages across the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, overcoming every obstacle. How can we just dismantle it?!"

Several giants leaped to their feet to berate and curse the Evil Eye Divine King.

The Evil Eye Divine King fixed them with an icy stare, "Does anyone among you have a superior plan? By all means, enlighten us."

His challenge left them entirely speechless.

"Let us consider our options. Ye Xuan gave us three days. If we find no other path forward by then, we have no choice but to disband," a veteran elder suggested feebly, his tone heavy with resignation.

Today, they had been truly cowed by Ye Xuan's presence.

With that, the Divine Hall fell once more into a brooding silence.

At that moment, Ye Xuan had fully recovered, releasing the muscular warrior of the Four-Armed Clan.

The situation regarding the Evil God Sect had been largely uncovered. Now, it was time to investigate the anomalies of the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions.

If someone was lurking behind the curtain of the Evil God Sect, who was controlling the gears of the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions?

The mastermind remained a mystery to be solved.
