The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1843 - 1840: Laying the Plan

"If interception is impossible, dispatch someone to the Lower Realm to eliminate them."

"Furthermore..."

"Contact Dark Crow through Chu Li and Yun Daoli. If they are in the Lower Realm, they should come to the Xuanhuang Great World to find me."

Ye Xuan's words were deliberate.

Bai Zhiyu responded with utmost respect, "I shall see to it immediately!"

Internally, Bai Zhiyu felt a surge of excitement; the moment they had anticipated was finally arriving!

After issuing the instruction to Bai Zhiyu, Ye Xuan returned to the Xuanhuang Great World and summoned Gutian Nan, the Ancient Ancestor of the Shaking Light Ancient Sect.

"Emperor Ye."

Gutian Nan addressed him with deference.

"What is the status of the Beidou Seven Veins' operations?" Ye Xuan inquired casually.

"As per Emperor Ye's directives, the remnants of the Evil God Sect across all the Myriad Worlds have been thoroughly eradicated," Gutian Nan reported factually.

"Currently, every Great World is aware of our Beidou Seven Veins."

Ye Xuan gave a slight nod and continued, "When the Heavenly Dao Suppression weakens, summon the Beidou Seven Veins to the Xuanhuang Great World. Ensure the Emperor Immortal Sect, Wan’an City, and Eternal Mountain are meticulously guarded."

Gutian Nan listened with a grave expression and stated respectfully, "Your command shall be followed!"

"You may depart."

Ye Xuan gestured dismissively.

Gutian Nan respectfully withdrew.

"Oh, wait," Ye Xuan called out again.

"Emperor Ye, please speak," Gutian Nan paused, listening intently.

"When you have the opportunity, seek out Zhang Qingfeng. Both of you share a destiny in this lifetime," Ye Xuan remarked.

"Understood!" Gutian Nan's eyes gleamed.

"You may go now." Ye Xuan waved him away.

"I take my leave," Gutian Nan departed with a hint of excitement.

The so-called opportunity undoubtedly alluded to a chance at attaining the Emperor realm.

Both Gutian Nan and Zhang Qingfeng of Dragon Tiger Mountain were currently in the Quasi-Emperor realm.

Years prior, Zhang Qingfeng had been coerced into the Dao Chu Ancient Land by the Twin Emperors, while Gutian Nan remained in slumber within the Shaking Light Ancient Sect, only awakening upon receiving Ye Xuan's summons.

However, with the existing Heavenly Dao Suppression hindering their power, not only was the path to becoming an Emperor obstructed, but they couldn't even fully exert their own strength, leading to a loss of motivation.

Now, Emperor Ye's words had rekindled the flame of hope within his heart.

Having already walked the Emperor Road once, there was no need to tread it again.

Following Gutian Nan's departure, Ye Xuan proceeded to Dingzhou's Douxu Palace, where he met with the Old Ancestor of Heavenly Mechanism.

After concluding their discussion, Ye Xuan returned to Emperor Peak.

The Revenge Lineage, the Beidou Seven Veins, and the Southern Dipper Six Veins – these were all formidable forces under Ye Xuan's command.

Among them, the Revenge Lineage stood as the mightiest, even capable of overshadowing publicly acknowledged powers like the Black Blade Sect, Asura Hall, Void Sect, and Mystical Hall, which served as a testament to its strength.

While the Beidou Seven Veins and Southern Dipper Six Veins were potent in their prime, they still fell short compared to the Revenge Lineage; nevertheless, their power remained significant.

The Southern Dipper governed life, while the Beidou presided over death.

In the past, the Beidou Seven Veins were led by Ye Xuan's disciple, the Beidou Great Emperor.

The Southern Dipper Six Veins, on the other hand, were overseen by another of Ye Xuan's disciples, the Southern Dipper Ancient Emperor Qiao Tiannan.

Tragically, both had since met their demise, their remains interred within the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

With the premature arrival of the Emperor Road and the incomplete lifting of the Heavenly Dao Suppression, Ye Xuan found it necessary to adjust his strategic plans.

Ye Xuan's primary concerns were the Ye Family of Wan'an City, the Ye Family of Eternal Mountain, and the Emperor Immortal Sect.

The Emperor Road was an inevitable passage, making the mobilization of his subordinate forces the most prudent course of action.

Furthermore, Ye Xuan intended to leave the Emperor Corpse of Ming Jing Great Emperor at this location.

This measure would ensure that mere troublemakers from the Xuanhuang Great World would pose no significant threat.

The two traitors from the Heavenly Domain required particular vigilance.

Consequently, Ye Xuan instructed Bai Zhiyu to inform Ning Shenji, the head of the Mystical Hall, to arrange measures preventing their descent into the Lower Realm.

Should they attempt to descend, they would face pursuit.

Naturally, this plan necessitated cooperation from other parties.

———

Hong State.

Primordial Hall.

As the most ancient entity in Hong State, an unparalleled and venerable existence, Primordial Hall had stood for innumerable years.

Its presence in Hong State dated back to the Wilderness Era.

Primordial Hall did not boast a large number of disciples; in fact, many disciples from other sects and sacred lands within Hong State far outnumbered its own.

However, each disciple of Primordial Hall was a true prodigy.

In the current generation, the most outstanding among them was none other than the Thousand Extinction Saint Heir.

Prior to Ye Xuan's ascension, the Thousand Extinction Saint Heir held an unshakeable grip on the third spot of the Mystic Yellow List. This position was directly beneath Duan Qingcang of the Qingtian Divine Sect in the Heavenly State, and Zhou Ye of the Immortal Capital Pavilion, a Daoist Sect. However, with Ye Xuan's sudden appearance, the Thousand Extinction Saint Heir was unceremoniously demoted to fourth place.

Upon emerging from the Great Ruins, an unexpected encounter with a shadowy expert left the Thousand Extinction Saint Heir in a most precarious state, almost meeting his demise. Mercifully, formidable figures from the Primordial Hall intervened, averting disaster and rescuing the injured Saint Heir.

Following this near-death experience, the Thousand Extinction Saint Heir sought refuge and recuperated within the hallowed halls of the Primordial Hall. It was here that he brought forth crucial intelligence regarding the legendary Immortal Treasure known as the Black Candle.

When the Primordial Hall became aware that Ye Xuan was in possession of this coveted Immortal Treasure, their initial inclination was not to seize it. They understood Ye Xuan's lineage as the son of Jiang Ye, who was intrinsically linked to the formidable Jiang Family. Recognizing this familial connection, they intended to 'borrow' the Immortal Treasure, with the ultimate goal of assisting the Thousand Extinction Saint Heir in forging his own Immortal Body.

Their initial consideration was to dispatch Jiang Chengdao, Ye Xuan's uncle. Jiang Chengdao had prior acquaintance with Ye Xuan, having met him during his sojourn in Fu Lei Heaven within the Heavenly State. However, Jiang Chengdao adamantly refused this assignment. Despite the familial tie of uncle to nephew, their interaction had been fleeting, a single meeting. To ask for such a significant artifact as an Immortal Treasure would exhaust their meager kinship, a price Jiang Chengdao was unwilling to pay. Thus, the honor fell to another.

The Primordial Hall was compelled to entrust the task to Jiang Rulong, the esteemed Vice Hall Master. He was to personally undertake the mission, representing both the Jiang Family and the Primordial Hall, a gesture signifying profound respect. Yet, Jiang Rulong himself outright declined the undertaking.

Though others remained unaware, Jiang Rulong, as Ye Xuan's unregistered disciple, possessed intimate knowledge of Ye Xuan's true identity. To petition his own master for an Immortal Treasure? Such a request would undoubtedly invite a death sentence! His refusal was thus absolute.

Ultimately, the Primordial Hall found themselves with no alternative but to call upon the venerable Ancient Ancestor, Seven Killings True Person. However, even as Seven Killings True Person entered his period of seclusion, he sought out Jiang Rulong for crucial information concerning Ye Xuan. It was through this inquiry that the true identity of Ye Xuan was finally revealed.

Despite this revelation, Seven Killings True Person, being of his resolute nature, chose a different path. He opted to visit Zhongxuan Mountain personally. Upon his return, Seven Killings True Person remained conspicuously silent about the Immortal Treasure. Instead, he issued a directive for a thorough investigation into the conduct of the Thousand Extinction Saint Heir.

As the investigation unfurled, a shocking truth emerged: the mysterious expert who had ambushed the Thousand Extinction Saint Heir outside the Great Ruins was none other than Ye Mingtian, the Pavilion Master of Cangqiong Pavilion, and crucially, Ye Xuan's own father! Furthermore, the intricate details of past entanglements between the Thousand Extinction Saint Heir and the esteemed Kunlun Saintess, Jiang Ye, were unearthed by the Primordial Hall.

In an instant, the Thousand Extinction Saint Heir became the sole target of widespread condemnation and fury. Within the ranks of the Primordial Hall's leadership, a significant number hailed from the prestigious Longevity Family, the Jiang Family. It was also revealed that the Primordial Hall itself owed its very existence to the foundational establishment by the Jiang Family.

The Thousand Extinction Saint Heir's recent transgressions against Jiang Ye had already ignited the profound displeasure of the main branch of the Jiang Family. With these revelations now clarified, Jiang Chengdao, carrying the imposing Hong Ding, broke his silence. Without hesitation, he charged towards the Thousand Extinction Saint Heir's secluded retreat, violently apprehending him and subjecting him to a brutal and severe beating.

In the aftermath, personnel from the Primordial Hall brought the battered Thousand Extinction Saint Heir before the stern gaze of Seven Killings True Person. Gazing upon the disgraced Saint Heir, Seven Killings True Person declared with chilling calmness, "From this day forward, you are no longer the Saint Heir of Primordial Hall, and all ties connecting you to the Primordial Hall are hereby severed."
