The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1774 - 1771: Immortal Treasure News

Zheng Wushan gripped his fists tightly, his complexion ashen, fixing a intense stare on Ye Xuan, terrified that Ye Xuan might notice anything unusual.

Witnessing the sight, Ye Xuan curved his lips into a subtle smile, "Are you attempting to claim that Yun Si is Emperor Mu’s disciple?"

His words had barely landed when the Yuhua Celestial Maiden’s form went rigid instantly.

Members of the Yuhua Immortal Sect gaped in astonishment, mouths hanging open.

A wave of helplessness washed over Zheng Wushan abruptly—had it been discovered after all...

"Emperor Mu’s disciple?!"

Pupils of the Loose Cultivation Alliance and Hai Dong contracted sharply, disbelief etched on their faces.

Such a hidden identity for the Yuhua Celestial Maiden?

"That’s right, Yun Si is indeed Emperor Mu’s disciple! A disciple of a Great Emperor!"

"If you dare to touch a hair on her, you will die without a doubt!"

Elder Chu, seeing the secret could no longer stay hidden, let out a cold snort and issued a direct threat to Ye Xuan.

"Fool!" In a fury, Zheng Wushan struck Elder Chu flying with a slap, then with a pallid face, cupped his hands toward Ye Xuan and pleaded, "I hope Emperor Ye will show mercy..."

A playful glint filled Ye Xuan’s eyes as he remarked casually, "If I wanted to, you all would have died last time at the Desolate God Demon Palace."

Ye Xuan’s eyes drifted softly toward the Yuhua Celestial Maiden, who stood tense and on edge, and he commanded steadily, "Come over here."

A bitter taste filled the Yuhua Celestial Maiden’s mouth, yet she had no option except to obey.

The sight filled the Yuhua Immortal Sect members with deep unease.

Those from the Loose Cultivation Alliance stood stunned.

They had anticipated a brutal clash in this encounter, yet never imagined Ye Xuan’s overwhelming aura would force even the Yuhua Celestial Maiden—a Reserve Emperor from the Mystic Yellow List—to lower her head.

What stunned them above all.

The Yuhua Celestial Maiden was revealed as Emperor Mu’s disciple.

Yet why did the Yuhua Celestial Maiden, bearing such a status, still appear insignificant in Ye Xuan’s presence?

It left them utterly perplexed.

Nearby, Hai Dong crouched in shock, unable to conceal his amazement at the unfolding events.

Though he too ranked on the Mystic Yellow List, he lingered at its lowest rung, lacking powerful support and abundant cultivation resources.

Still, he understood that facing someone of the Yuhua Celestial Maiden’s caliber would mean certain defeat for him.

Particularly now, after she absorbed the Quasi-Emperor’s inheritance and advanced her cultivation realm, she outmatched nearly everyone on the Mystic Yellow List.

Nevertheless, the Yuhua Celestial Maiden remained outclassed by Ye Xuan.

For an instant, Hai Dong gazed at Ye Xuan with a swirl of mixed feelings.

The Yuhua Celestial Maiden reached Ye Xuan’s side, though she kept a deliberate gap between them.

This unparalleled Fairy harbored no fondness for Ye Xuan.

She even nursed a trace of disgust.

But she was powerless against it.

"Where did you learn about the Immortal Treasure?"

Ye Xuan paid no heed to such trifles, and truthfully, this Yuhua Celestial Maiden held little appeal for him—she paled far in comparison to Youwei.

She couldn’t even measure up to his maids, Mo Qinglian and Dugu Jing.

The Yuhua Celestial Maiden lowered her luminous eyes halfway and murmured gently, "I learned it from the Quasi-Emperor’s inheritance."

Ye Xuan offered no response, simply reaching out his hand.

Stunned briefly, the Yuhua Celestial Maiden snapped in anger, "Ye Xuan, don’t push it too far."

Ye Xuan replied indifferently, "This isn’t a negotiation."

Rage boiled in the Yuhua Celestial Maiden; she hardened her resolve, averted her gaze, and declared, "No!"

This Ye Xuan was utterly loathsome, demanding the Quasi-Emperor’s inheritance right from the start.

Ye Xuan’s face grew icy as he fixed his stare on the Yuhua Celestial Maiden.

Suddenly, an overwhelming, tyrannical pressure burst forth, making the Yuhua Celestial Maiden tremble and lock eyes with Ye Xuan against her will.

The instant their gazes clashed, an immense, intolerable force crashed over the Yuhua Celestial Maiden.

In that heartbeat, she felt reduced to a mere grain of dust.

While Ye Xuan loomed as the ultimate sovereign of the world!

The vast gap nearly compelled the Yuhua Celestial Maiden to yield and drop to her knees!

Thankfully, the pressure faded after just a fleeting moment.

Following this brief intimidation, Ye Xuan stated calmly, "You have only two choices, bring it yourself or I will take it."

"I suppose you don’t want me to forcefully enter your Life Palace in front of everyone."

Pallor drained the Yuhua Celestial Maiden’s cheeks, her fists balled tight, yet she stood powerless.

To her, Ye Xuan resembled a fiend!

From her right palm, a bundle of faded Jade Scrolls materialized out of nowhere in her slender hand.

Cracks riddled the Jade Scroll, threatening to crumble apart at any second.

"Celestial Maiden!"

"Don’t do it!"

Shock and fury gripped the Yuhua Immortal Sect members at the sight, prompting urgent cries from them all.

They had no idea about the challenges currently plaguing the Yuhua Celestial Maiden.

"Let it slide, so long as she's unharmed." Zheng Wushan displayed remarkable composure.

Though his knowledge of the Undying Night Emperor was limited, he understood that the Yuhua Celestial Maiden could survive if she avoided reckless actions.

Otherwise, they all would have perished under Ye Xuan's strikes last time.

"I've absorbed the true inheritance already; the Immortal Treasure details originate from this."

With a soft tone, the Yuhua Celestial Maiden passed the shattered Jade Scroll to Ye Xuan, her stunning eyes reflecting subtle intricacy.

She had believed this chance would greatly close the divide between her and Ye Xuan.

Yet, with merely a single look, she discovered the divide hadn't shrunk—instead, it had expanded enormously...

This left even her, a Mystic Yellow List Reserve Emperor, overwhelmed by hopelessness.

It explained why Wang Teng, the former tenth-ranked Reserve Emperor, fell so effortlessly to Ye Xuan.

Their levels were worlds apart.

A subtle flick from Ye Xuan's fingers sent the shattered Jade Scroll soaring, unfolding mid-air.

Ancient Characters materialized, hovering above the Jade Scroll.

Contorted and warped, they unveiled shocking revelations.

These revelations concerned the Immortal Treasure Black Candle!

Toward the conclusion, no mention of that Quasi-Emperor appeared for Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan coiled the Jade Scroll once more, storing it away into his personal realm with a mere thought, his brows knitting as he gazed at the Yuhua Celestial Maiden and inquired, "I require every detail on that Quasi-Emperor."

The Yuhua Celestial Maiden anticipated Ye Xuan's question, sharing her own doubts that the message came from that Quasi-Emperor.

Thus, she withheld nothing and shared all pertinent details with Ye Xuan.

That Quasi-Emperor went by Chi Lei, a supreme talent of the Demon Race from thirty million years past. Seeking the path to Proving Emperor, he ventured into the freshly opened Great Ruins and met his end there.

Unwilling for his legacy to vanish, Chi Lei preserved his inheritance before death, carving out a cave residence within the Great Ruins for descendants to claim.

The very cave where the Yuhua Celestial Maiden had resided earlier was the one Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor had established.

Upon hearing this account, Ye Xuan's furrowed brows relaxed.

He could now be absolutely sure the Immortal Treasure Black Candle held no ties to Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor.

The Stacked Jade Slips had been planted by another, intentionally hidden in Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor’s cave.

After all, thirty million years ago during that era, Ye Xuan himself lurked in the Great Ruins, and with Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor's demise then, he couldn't possibly have located the Black Candle.

"These tactics surely don't belong to that Black Venerate scum."

As Ye Xuan contemplated the secretive culprit, the Undying Black Venerate topped the list of exclusions.

Had that fiend possessed knowledge of the Immortal Treasure, he would've seized it outright!
