The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 2099 - 2096: Suppressing Lao Shan

Feeling the terrifying pressure from behind, Old Shan immediately froze all over.

Even without turning his head, Old Shan had already sensed the tall woman in white behind him.

Right now, where did this Bei Yao Shenwu still look anything like the miserable mess from just now?

As sly as Old Shan was, how could he not know he’d been played?

Played by Bei Yao Shenwu and Ye Xuan working together!

He just couldn’t figure out: these two clearly had a "you die or I die" kind of grudge, so why were they suddenly putting on an act for him?

Exactly which step had gone wrong?

Old Shan had no time to think it through, as Bei Yao Shenwu was already pressing down with overwhelming force.

She raised her fist and smashed it down at his head, clearly intending to blow his skull apart with a single punch!

Old Shan held his Peach Wood Stick, twisted his body, and swung directly at Bei Yao Shenwu’s lower body.

Bei Yao Shenwu, however, didn’t even try to dodge, clearly ready to trade injury for a kill.

Old Shan could only curse inwardly, then pull his attack back and directly retreat.

Boom!

But in the next moment, Old Shan felt an astonishing force pressing down on him, making it impossible for him to move an inch!

Old Shan’s eyes bulged as he stared at the black-robed youth walking toward him with a black Mountain Seal in hand, crying out in shock, "The Divine Mountain Seal? Where did you get that?!"

That black-robed youth was, of course, Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan held the Divine Mountain Seal, the vast Forbidden Power of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard swirling all around.

Ye Xuan looked at Old Shan and said with a smile, "Old Shan, Old Shan, I told you not to come to the Heavenly Pond Graveyard. What are you doing here, huh?"

Boom!

And as Ye Xuan was speaking, Bei Yao Shenwu’s punch slammed into Old Shan’s back, directly smashing him to the ground.

Old Shan felt his internal organs violently quake, almost coughing up a mouthful of blood.

He was pinned to the ground, completely unable to move. He tilted his head up to look at Ye Xuan, beard bristling and eyes glaring. "Little Emperor Ye, are you trying to betray your master and destroy your ancestors?!"

Bei Yao Shenwu stepped on Old Shan’s back, her voice cold as she said, "Speak. Whose dog are you?"

Old Shan immediately yelled, "I’m your old man!"

Bei Yao Shenwu suddenly pressed down harder with her foot.

Old Shan let out a miserable scream, then started cursing nonstop.

Ye Xuan walked over to Old Shan, then sat right down on the dusty ground without a care, casually tossing the Divine Mountain Seal aside under Old Shan’s burning gaze.

Ye Xuan looked at Old Shan, smiling as he said, "Let’s not talk about betraying master and destroying ancestors. Sure, you taught me some things from the Mountain God Dao, but I never bowed to you as my master."

Old Shan reluctantly dragged his gaze away from the Divine Mountain Seal and landed it on Ye Xuan, curling his lip. "You’re absolutely betraying master and destroying ancestors. No matter how you spin it, I’m half your master, aren’t I?"

"What, your disciple betrayed you, so you came to me for trouble instead?"

Old Shan was very displeased.

Ye Xuan reached out and roughly ruffled Old Shan’s messy bird-nest hair, muttering, "What do you mean ’your place’? This is the Heavenly Pond Graveyard—this is my turf!"

Old Shan was so mad he almost lost his mind.

Watching the two of them as if they were just messing around, Bei Yao Shenwu’s eyes turned cold. She shot Ye Xuan a glance and said icily, "Don’t forget what you just promised me."

Ye Xuan replied casually, "Relax."

Hearing that, Old Shan immediately latched onto the key point like a hound, glaring at Ye Xuan as he roared, "Little Emperor Ye, you actually teamed up with this stinking woman to screw me over!"

He hadn’t even finished speaking before Bei Yao Shenwu kicked him again.

Under the triple suppression of the Divine Mountain Seal, Bei Yao Shenwu, and the Forbidden Power of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, even an existence as peerless as Old Shan had no way out at this moment.

"When did you start setting this whole thing up?"

Old Shan asked with some unwillingness. He truly didn’t understand at what point these two had joined forces.

Ye Xuan grinned and said, "Obviously just now, right?"

"Just now?"

Old Shan’s eyes narrowed, and in an instant he thought of how he’d just been standing by watching the show, only to be blasted away.

Back then, Ye Xuan and Bei Yao Shenwu had both been shrouded by grave soil, so no one could see what had happened between the two of them.

And when he saw them again, the once overwhelmingly powerful Bei Yao Shenwu was being beaten by Ye Xuan without the slightest ability to fight back.

It looked completely inexplicable.

At the time, Old Shan had felt something was off, but considering this was the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, Little Emperor Ye having that kind of trump card seemed perfectly reasonable.

Looking at it now, that was exactly where things had gone wrong!

The two of them had joined forces at that very moment.

"So what did you two talk about?"

Old Shan still felt baffled.

After all, logically speaking, Bei Yao Shenwu and Ye Xuan shouldn’t be able to reconcile.

"Before that, I want to ask you something."

Ye Xuan didn’t hurry to answer. Instead, he smiled squint-eyed and said, "Old Shan, how many years have we known each other?"

Hearing that, Old Shan immediately flew into another rage. "You still have the nerve to ask me that, you little bastard? We’ve known each other since the Mythical Era. I even went to all that trouble to teach you so much, and this is how you repay me?"

"Yeah, we met in the mid-Mythical Era..."

Ye Xuan chuckled, but the next moment his smile vanished. He stared at Old Shan with an icy expression. "So why did you sneak into the Heavenly Pond Graveyard without telling me? And specifically chose a time when I wasn’t here?"

Old Shan was instantly struck dumb.

After being stunned for a moment, Old Shan said a bit guiltily, "If I said I came to tidy up your sleeping place for you, would you believe me?"

Ye Xuan said coldly, "What do you think?"

Back then, when he went to the Mountain God Realm, he’d originally planned to catch up with Old Shan, but unexpectedly Old Shan wasn’t there—and had even been trapped.

When Ye Xuan guessed that Old Shan was in the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, he had already begun to suspect something.

Seeing that Ye Xuan seemed genuinely angry, Old Shan could only back down. "Fine, this one’s on me. I was being shady. I’ll apologize."

The gloom on Ye Xuan’s face disappeared, replaced by a bright, sunny smile.

Seeing that, Old Shan also let out a breath and cursed with a grin, "You little brat, gonna let me up or not?"

Ye Xuan’s smile abruptly faded as he asked calmly, "Whose man are you?"

It was the exact same question Bei Yao Shenwu had asked.

Old Shan was stunned by the sudden question.

Then he exploded with curses: "You dogshit Emperor Ye, it’s one thing for Bei Yao Shenwu to ask that, but what right do you have to ask? I’ve clung to life until now just to bring that War to an end. Don’t tell me you don’t know that?"

"Hmm?!"

Old Shan was furious, struggling so hard he even wanted to smash Ye Xuan’s head with the Peach Wood Stick.

Unfortunately, Bei Yao Shenwu had her foot on him, making it impossible for him to do as he wished.

Looking at the furious Old Shan, Ye Xuan said nothing, just quietly stared at him.

Old Shan’s anger gradually cooled. He asked in a low voice, "So just because I came while you weren’t in the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, you decided I was your enemy?!"

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. "I’ve seen some fragments... Back then, there was a reason those two traitors betrayed me."

Old Shan frowned slightly. "And what does that have to do with me?"

Ye Xuan smiled faintly. "Didn’t you come here at exactly that time node?"

Old Shan gnashed his teeth. "Wasn’t that because I broke into your Heavenly Pond Graveyard? Just say it—what compensation do you want? I’ll give it to you!"

(ps: The recent plot is getting very tangled, this Old Ghost needs to tidy things up a bit. We’ll stop here for today.)
