The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1804 - 1801: A Lesson

With a cold gaze fixed on Ye Xuan, the Yuhua Mysterious Woman spoke only after everyone else had departed: "Though I'm unaware of the enmity between you and my Master, based on your words today, your demise is sealed."

This time, the Yuhua Mysterious Woman made no hesitation in directly referring to Emperor Mu as her Master.

At this juncture, the Yuhua Mysterious Woman felt there was no longer any need for concealment.

After all, the truth was already known to all.

Yet, the elevation she had attained was not due to her inherent status, but a product of her relentless personal endeavors!

Ye Xuan turned his head to face the Yuhua Mysterious Woman, his eyes deep and containing a hint of a disdainful smirk playing on the corners of his lips: "Simply because I insulted your Master?"

The Yuhua Mysterious Woman retorted icily, "Naturally!"

"An Emperor must not be slighted!"

This has been the unyielding decree throughout the ages; those who dare to insult an Emperor invite their own doom!

Ye Xuan's voice remained calm: "You merely place too high a value on your Master."

The Yuhua Mysterious Woman let out a sneer, "You dare utter such words here, but if you truly possess such formidable might, why not venture to the Heavenly Domain and proclaim them directly before my Master?"

"Do you have the courage?"

The Yuhua Mysterious Woman regarded Ye Xuan with blatant contempt.

Ye Xuan responded with laughter.

"What's so amusing? Are you feeling guilty?"

The Yuhua Mysterious Woman inquired nonchalantly.

Ye Xuan suppressed his laughter, shaking his head as he replied, "I laugh at the ignorant masses."

"Afraid, yet you persist in this charade!" the Yuhua Mysterious Woman taunted.

Raising his right hand, Ye Xuan grasped at the void.

In an instant, the Yuhua Mysterious Woman was ensnared by Ye Xuan's power.

Holding the Yuhua Mysterious Woman's delicate chin, Ye Xuan looked down upon this impetuous woman and stated calmly, "Come, allow me to unveil true dread for you."

The Yuhua Mysterious Woman thrashed with all her might, even attempting to unleash the power of her Dark Immortal Body. Though not yet a complete Immortal Body, it was a quasi-dark Immortal Body, merely a single step shy of full realization.

However, that latent power remained rigidly suppressed.

Within Ye Xuan, an unfathomable suppressing force seemed to reside, neutralizing all her strength!

Profoundly shocked, the Yuhua Mysterious Woman lifted her gaze to meet Ye Xuan's.

Boom!

At this critical moment, the Yuhua Mysterious Woman felt an overwhelming sense of insignificance.

Conversely, before her very eyes, Ye Xuan appeared as a supreme Great Emperor, surveying all beings as if they were mere ants!

In that instant, the Yuhua Mysterious Woman's very soul quaked, an uncontrollable urge compelling her to prostrate herself at Ye Xuan's feet!

"...Emperor?!"

Every coherent thought vanished from the Yuhua Mysterious Woman's mind, leaving only a single, monumental realization!

Emperor!

Ye Xuan was, in fact, a Great Emperor?!

The Yuhua Mysterious Woman was utterly flabbergasted.

Disregarding the stunned and bewildered Yuhua Mysterious Woman, Ye Xuan turned his attention to her quasi-dark Immortal Body.

This was precisely his primary objective in keeping the Yuhua Mysterious Woman alive.

"Just a single step away..."

Ye Xuan mused internally.

The Yuhua Mysterious Woman's Dark Immortal Body was on the cusp of completion when Chi Lei, the Quasi-Emperor, launched a final assault that forcibly interrupted its formation.

Nevertheless, the Yuhua Mysterious Woman had gained immense power from the ordeal.

Her innate talent had undergone a transformation, becoming even more terrifying than before!

Given sufficient time, the Yuhua Mysterious Woman possessed a genuine possibility of ascending to the rank of a Great Emperor.

If that were the case...

A potent catalyst was required.

With a shift of his will, Ye Xuan summoned the Immaculate Duster, which floated near and gently waved.

Buzz————

A stream of pure energy flowed directly into the Yuhua Mysterious Woman's body.

A force of utter purity, starkly contrasting with the nature of the Dark Immortal Body, surged within her.

Instantly, a violent internal conflict erupted.

At that precise moment, the Yuhua Mysterious Woman regained her senses, her countenance shifting dramatically: "What have you done to me!?"

The clashing of these two diametrically opposed forces within her caused the Yuhua Mysterious Woman to perceive an imminent, life-threatening crisis.

"A minor lesson. Do not be so alarmed."

Ye Xuan's expression remained impassive as he withdrew the Immaculate Duster and motioned her away: "You are free to depart."

Though replete with indignation, the Yuhua Mysterious Woman harbored a deeper sense of dread.

She had already been profoundly impacted by Ye Xuan's overwhelming power.

During their brief confrontation, the Yuhua Mysterious Woman had experienced unparalleled pressure, robbing her of the audacity to speak defiantly to Ye Xuan again.

The Yuhua Mysterious Woman departed.

In a state of considerable humiliation.

Ye Xuan watched her leave, softly murmuring, "Live well. I hope you possess the fortune to witness the day your Master prostrates himself on bended knee."

As for the provocations and taunts hurled by the Yuhua Mysterious Woman earlier, Ye Xuan remained unperturbed.

He could journey to the Heavenly Domain at this very moment; without lifting a finger, he could still confront and deal with the twin Emperors.

However, that was not Ye Xuan's intention.

He had pledged to personally subjugate these two traitors.

That destined day.

It was not far off.

At this very moment.

The Yuhua Mysterious Woman exited the Qiankun Pot and returned to the Blood Sea.

Elder Chu and Zheng Wushan arrived swiftly. The onlookers were stunned by the palpable changes in the Yuhua Mysterious Woman.

"Yun Si, what did that person do to you?!" Elder Chu bellowed, his voice laced with furious indignation.

At this critical juncture, the Yuhua Mysterious Woman's cultivation fluctuated wildly, appearing as though it was on the verge of exploding and vanishing entirely.

The Power of Purity and the Power of Darkness, two opposing forces in a fierce clash, presented a truly terrifying spectacle.

It bore a striking resemblance to Zhou Youwei's Dual Souls; a misstep in such a situation carried the grave risk of losing all cultivation.

Ye Xuan had not infused an excessive amount of the Power of Purity into Yuhua Mysterious Woman, but he had employed additional, subtle methods.

Even though the Power of Purity and the Dark Immortal Body's inherent strengths could not achieve equilibrium, they would continuously sow discord within Yuhua Mysterious Woman.

Consequently, despite possessing the potential to defy the heavens, her path toward becoming a Great Emperor was all but severed. Her journey on the Emperor Road was effectively curtailed.

Yuhua Mysterious Woman herself had proclaimed that an Emperor cannot be insulted.

Let it not be forgotten.

Ye Xuan is the Undying Night Emperor!

His repeated refraining from killing Yuhua Mysterious Woman stemmed purely from his perception of her as insignificant.

However, even a mere bothersome gnat, when persistently present, warrants a necessary lesson.

Naturally, even this minor lesson was sufficient to inflict unbearable agony upon Yuhua Mysterious Woman.

"Senior Zheng, upon our departure from the Great Ruins, I implore you to proceed to the Heavenly Domain and convey a message to my Master..."

The Yuhua Mysterious Woman, her face alarmingly pale and her demeanor exceedingly weak, spoke these words to Zheng Wushan.

Hearing this, Zheng Wushan's expression turned grave, and he nodded solemnly, responding, "Understood!"

"Yun Si, what precisely occurred?" Elder Chu inquired, his concern palpable.

Yuhua Mysterious Woman merely shook her head, unable to articulate the overwhelming complexity of the situation.

"We shall resume this discussion once we return to the Sect," Zheng Wushan declared with decisive authority.

"Once we emerge from the Great Ruins, our Sect will dispatch personnel immediately to hunt down that scoundrel, Ye Xuan!"

Elder Chu's aged, turbid eyes ignited with a fierce luminescence. "Furthermore, we will disseminate news of his acquisition of the Immortal Treasure not only throughout the Xuanhuang Great World but across all other Great Worlds as well. I wish to witness how many powers will set their sights on him!"

As his words concluded, a figure cloaked in Black Robes, positioned at a distance and bearing three Black Sabers, with a towering stature and cropped hair, directed his gaze toward them. His tiger-like eyes blazed with potent killing intent.

"Oh?"

"Then, after my exit from the Great Ruins, my inaugural act will be to pay a visit to your Yuhua Immortal Sect."
