The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 2059 - 2056: True Bone Fractured
Previously on The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor...
"Next time we meet?"
"You’re not changing it this time?"
Kuang Nu looked coldly at Jiang Ziyu.
Jiang Ziyu gazed toward the starry sky, face deadly serious as he said, "Look, the stars are especially beautiful tonight, don’t you think?"
Kuang Nu curled his lip. "Cut the crap. Either change it, or get your ass kicked."
Jiang Ziyu waved his hand grandly. "Hey, how could little Kuang Nu say such insolent things in front of Emperor Ye? Whatever it is, we’ll talk about it another day. No need to bring it up now."
Kuang Nu said nothing, his aura building.
Jiang Ziyu’s eyelids twitched nonstop, but on the surface he remained perfectly calm. "The stars are really beautiful tonight..."
Ye Xuan watched their ’fight’ and couldn’t help shaking his head with a smile.
It had been so many years since he’d seen this walking disaster Jiang Ziyu, yet he was still exactly the same.
Ye Xuan actually appreciated Jiang Ziyu a lot.
He always had.
Because Jiang Ziyu did things in his own way.
He never cared about worldly opinions.
That was also why Jiang Ziyu could get so close to Ye Xuan.
And it was also why Ye Xuan previously hadn’t been willing to damage Jiang Ziyu’s body, even knowing the Blood Image was using Jiang Ziyu’s flesh as leverage.
It was nice.
"Let’s take a trip to the Ancestor Temple."
Ye Xuan said softly, taking the lead.
Kuang Nu shot Jiang Ziyu a highly provocative look.
Jiang Ziyu’s expression froze, and he shouted, "Emperor Ye, can we not go?"
"No."
Jiang Ziyu couldn’t help drooping his head and followed along dejectedly.
Every time he went to the Ancestor Temple he had to confess in front of Great-grandpa’s spirit tablet.
In his words, what the hell was the point of that.
Great-grandpa had kicked the bucket ages ago.
Very soon.
The three of them arrived in front of the ancestor tablets.
"So what now?"
Kuang Nu looked at the listless Jiang Ziyu and smiled faintly.
Jiang Ziyu turned his head to look at the starry sky outside. "The stars tonight..."
Kuang Nu ruthlessly cut him off. "You can’t see shit from in here."
Jiang Ziyu withdrew his gaze and looked at the many spirit tablets inside the Ancestor Temple, puzzled. "Why are there so many tablets, and lined up so neatly? That’s really something."
Kuang Nu: "You’re amazing."
Jiang Ziyu flung off the sackcloth robe on his body with both hands, raised his head and puffed his chest, momentum surging as he said, "Convinced yet?"
Kuang Nu hooked his finger. "Come fight."
Jiang Ziyu stroked his chin, looking puzzled. "Why are there so many tablets, and lined up so neatly? That’s really something."
Kuang Nu: "..."
Ye Xuan ignored their banter and said calmly, "Stand guard for me."
"Huh?"
Both Kuang Nu and Jiang Ziyu were stunned.
Jiang Ziyu then laughed. "Rest easy, Emperor Ye. With me, Jiang Ziyu, sitting here, all the evil spirits in the world will shy away three leagues!"
Kuang Nu didn’t know what Emperor Ye was going to do, but he still answered with a "Yes."
They had both thought Emperor Ye brought them here for a fight.
They hadn’t expected it to be to act as protectors.
Jiang Ziyu was over the moon.
Seeing Jiang Ziyu looking so smug, Kuang Nu wanted nothing more than to beat him up.
"What are you looking at? Didn’t you hear what Emperor Ye said? Protect!"
Jiang Ziyu was ridiculously pleased with himself.
Kuang Nu glared at Jiang Ziyu.
Jiang Ziyu snorted. "Little Kuang Nu, laughable, laughable."
"After we’re done guarding for Emperor Ye, dare you fight me?"
Kuang Nu rasped.
Jiang Ziyu: "The stars are really beautiful tonight..."
Kuang Nu spat. "You’re fucking scared, that’s what."
"Scared?!"
Jiang Ziyu’s robe billowed without wind, and he said passionately:
"Back in the day, I wielded the God-beating Hammer, trampling on a True Dragon underfoot, suppressing the Great Emperors of the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds. All under heaven bowed to me, Jiang Ziyu, honoring me as Grand Duke. What the hell is a little Kuang Nu?"
"You think that’s enough to make me afraid?"
Kuang Nu: "..."
Inside the Ancestor Temple.
Ye Xuan walked around the tablets a few times, stomping his foot now and then.
A moment later.
Ye Xuan returned to the center and formed a Daoist Spell with one hand.
Wom————
In an instant.
A beam of Mysterious Light shot out from within the Ancestor Temple, piercing straight into the sky.
The vast starry sky was shrouded by that Mysterious Light.
When the Mysterious Light reached its Peak, it spread in all directions, enveloping the entire vast Star Universe.
The Ancestor Temple was naturally included within it.
The Jiang Family Head, who was currently sending people to inventory the treasure vault, sensed this change, and his expression immediately shifted. He then ordered people to go to the Ancestor Temple to investigate.
Not long after, the experts he sent returned.
"Family Head, the Ancestor Temple..."
"It’s disappeared!"
The expert’s face was extremely ugly.
"What!?"
The Jiang Family Head was shocked out of his wits. "Hurry and report to the Old Ancestor."
"No need."
At that moment, a vague, ethereal voice rang out, tinged with weakness.
It was the same white-robed old man from before, the Jiang Family’s Old Ancestor.
But after being severely injured earlier when Jiang Ziyu was possessed by the Blood Image, he was still recuperating.
Even though the white-robed old man was in seclusion recovering, he had clearly noticed the change coming from the Ancestor Temple.
"Old Ancestor!"
Hearing the white-robed old man’s voice, the Jiang Family experts all bowed.
"Grand Duke is over at the Ancestor Temple. You don’t need to go."
The white-robed old man said slowly.
At those words, everyone first let out a sigh of relief, then their hearts skipped a beat again.
Grand Duke hadn’t gone to the Ancestor Temple to stir up trouble again, had he?!
The white-robed old man seemed to know what they were thinking and said softly, "It won’t go that far. That senior of the Ancestor Temple and Young Master Ye are both there. Grand Duke won’t dare act out."
Only then did everyone truly relax.
At this moment.
Outside the Ancestor Temple, Jiang Ziyu was still crazily looking down on Kuang Nu.
Kuang Nu had already sealed off his hearing, too lazy to listen to this guy’s constant yapping.
And within the Ancestor Temple.
Ye Xuan sat cross-legged in the center, floating in midair.
After activating the Array of the Ancestor Temple, Ye Xuan finally took out, with extreme care, that piece of Little Red Sparrow’s True Bone from within the Taichu Hongmeng Primordial world.
The True Bone hovered in front of Ye Xuan, wreathed in faint strands of red light.
If one looked closely, one could vaguely see a tiny Red Sparrow flying around the True Bone.
Only, that little Red Sparrow was almost transparent, impossible to see clearly.
Faint and flickering.
Seeing that, a surge of killing intent rose again in Ye Xuan’s heart.
If it weren’t for that Emperor General Spider, Little Red Sparrow would never have ended up like this.
It was worth mentioning that the Emperor General Spider’s life was really stubborn; it still wasn’t completely dead, still struggling nonstop in the Soul Prison.
Suffering torment without end.
Truly unable to live, unable to die.
Ye Xuan discarded all stray thoughts and extended both hands, supporting that piece of Little Red Sparrow’s True Bone in the air between his palms.
Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes, his expression calm.
The Taichu Hongmeng Primordial Dao Technique within his body began to circulate slowly.
Strands of pure Taichu Hongmeng Primordial Dao Power drifted out.
That power slowly coiled around the True Bone, gradually merging with those strands of red light.
The whole process was neither fast nor slow.
Orderly and steady.
Seeing that Little Red Sparrow’s True Bone did not reject this power, Ye Xuan let out a small sigh of relief in his heart.
But just then—
With a crack.
The True Bone suddenly fractured!
Ye Xuan’s heart jolted violently, and his eyes flew open.
The True Bone had split.
Strands of red light were constantly coiling around it.
