The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 2105 - 2102: Southern Dipper Ancient Emperor Qiao Tiannan

The Heavenly Pond Graveyard stands within the Chaos. After entering the Heavenly Pond Graveyard from the entrance, it is divided into the inner depths and the outer perimeter, with the Heavenly Stele as the boundary.

But in fact, this concept is very vague; it’s only for the convenience of the existences in the Heavenly Pond Graveyard to distinguish areas within it.

After all, no one knows how vast the Heavenly Pond Graveyard truly is.

Perhaps in this world, only the Undying Night Emperor who presides over the Heavenly Pond Graveyard could know the answer.

If one were to go by the divisions set by those existences of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, the place where Ye Xuan and the others currently were still counted as the outer perimeter of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

They passed through one great mountain after another, crossed one river after another, and then traversed hills and valleys.

All along the way, the little girl in black was very happy.

As a result, all the scenery they saw along the way seemed especially beautiful.

In reality, in this Heavenly Pond Graveyard, there was no such thing as scenery to speak of; it was filled with desolate Death Qi, and not a single living creature could be seen.

All there was, was endless dead silence.

Even the rivers were black, filled with eerie Death Qi.

Because within those rivers, people were buried as well.

After they had walked for about two hours, Ye Xuan came to a halt.

The Qiankun Ancestor, Kuang Nu, and the little girl in black also stopped.

The little girl in black looked both excited and nervous, and softly asked, "Are we there?"

The Qiankun Ancestor gave a slight nod.

The little girl in black looked around in all directions, but did not see the figure she wanted to see. She couldn’t help but ask anxiously, "Where is he?"

At the very front, Ye Xuan looked ahead—there was nothing there.

Ye Xuan took two steps forward, then judged the position, squatted down, and stretched out both hands to dig open the grave soil on the ground.

"Here?"

Seeing this, the little girl in black hopped over and helped Ye Xuan dig the dirt.

Very soon, they dug up a piece of hard gray-white stone.

Ye Xuan stopped what he was doing, and at the same time halted the movements of the little girl in black.

Seeing this, the little girl in black obediently stood to the side.

"Step back a bit."

Ye Xuan said softly.

The little girl in black followed Ye Xuan’s instructions.

After the two of them backed away some distance—

Rumble—

Beneath the grave soil, that piece of hard gray-white stone they had just dug up let out a rumbling sound, then slowly rose from beneath the earth.

It was actually a stele!

And as the stele continued to rise, a grave mound also slowly emerged.

So the grave, together with the tombstone, had been buried underneath.

If someone who had never been here before came, they truly wouldn’t be able to find where this grave was.

Rumble!

With one last rumble, the disturbance vanished.

A majestic large grave appeared before their eyes, and that tombstone was not small either, a full three people tall.

No one knew what kind of stone it was made of; it was entirely gray-white.

And on the tombstone were carved several large Ancient Characters.

The Tomb of My Disciple, Southern Dipper Ancient Emperor Qiao Tiannan.

Looking at that tombstone, Ye Xuan’s gaze remained calm.

This tombstone had naturally been erected by him.

Qiao Tiannan, the Southern Dipper Ancient Emperor.

The first chief of the Southern Dipper Six Veins.

He had also been appointed by Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan grasped at the Void, and three sticks of incense appeared in his hand.

Ye Xuan handed the three sticks of incense to the little girl in black and told her some of the rules of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

The little girl in black took the three sticks of incense and followed his instructions.

She came before the Southern Dipper Ancient Emperor’s tombstone, first planted the three sticks of incense, then performed three bows and nine prostrations. Her little face was full of solemnity as she said:

"Continue the bond."

As the little girl in black’s words fell, the grave mound behind the Southern Dipper Ancient Emperor’s tombstone actually split open with a crack.

Immediately after, a withered large hand reached out from that crack.

Then, someone slowly crawled out from that fissure.

It was a bizarre person with grave soil all over his body. He came to the front of the tombstone, sat on the top of it, with a head of messy black hair covering his cheeks, making it impossible to see his face.

At this moment, he faced the little girl in black and rasped, "What are you doing?"

Seeing this person, the little girl in black was so frightened that her face went pale. She looked back at Ye Xuan in some fear. "Master, did we make a mistake? He’s not Qiao Tiannan, right?"

Ye Xuan tugged at the corner of his mouth.

The strange man stared fixedly at the little girl in black, his voice still low and hoarse, as if it came from beneath the Hell of Jiuyou, seizing the soul.

"Little girl, what are you looking for Qiao Tiannan for?"

Seeing her own master ignore her, and with this terrifying voice of the strange man in her ears, the little girl in black darted behind the Qiankun Ancestor. "Big Brother, go!"

The Qiankun Ancestor couldn’t help but roll his eyes. "Aren’t you the one looking for him? How come you’re this scared when you see him?"

The little girl in black poked her little head out from beside the Qiankun Ancestor’s legs and looked at the strange man sitting atop the tombstone. She felt he was nothing like the Qiao Tiannan she knew.

In her memory, Qiao Tiannan was mighty and domineering, with a bearing like jade, like a Banished Immortal walking the world. How could he be this ghostly-looking thing?

"I’m talking to you!"

Just then, the strange man on the tombstone seemed to grow angry. He let out a low roar and suddenly got to his feet, bringing with him a terrifying sense of oppression that crashed toward the little girl in black!

"...You’re really Qiao Tiannan?"

Although the little girl in black was still a bit afraid, seeing her own master Ye Xuan unmoved, and recalling what Big Brother Qiankun Ancestor had said, she somewhat believed it.

"Answer me—what are you looking for Qiao Tiannan for!"

The strange man threw back his head and roared, and even pounded his chest with both fists like a drum. Anyone who didn’t know better would think he was a Vajra.

The little girl in black was badly startled and blurted out instinctively, "I missed him..."

The strange man’s movements abruptly stopped, then he suddenly leapt down from the tombstone and walked toward the little girl in black.

The little girl in black was terrified and hid behind the Qiankun Ancestor again.

The Qiankun Ancestor couldn’t help glaring at the strange man, saying irritably, "Are you fucking bored or what?"

The strange man put a finger to his lips in a shushing gesture, then in a flash darted behind the Qiankun Ancestor, grabbed the little girl in black in one swoop, and burst out laughing. "Where are you running to?"

The little girl in black let out a sharp scream from fright, but when she saw the face of the person before her, she was overjoyed. "Qiao Tiannan! It’s really you!"

At this moment, the grave soil on the strange man’s body vanished, and his messy hair was flung back, revealing that face as handsome as carved jade.

Although his robes were somewhat dirty and disheveled, they still could not conceal the astonishing aura on his body.

The Southern Dipper Ancient Emperor.

Qiao Tiannan!

Right now, Qiao Tiannan held the little girl in black in his hands, his face full of gentle laughter as he said softly, "Little Nannan, long time no see—I missed you so much."

The little girl in black’s eyes turned red and she choked out, "I missed you so much too."

But as if remembering something, she puffed out her cheeks and turned away, huffing lightly, "Hmph, I don’t miss you at all. You’re such a big bad guy, actually scaring me!"

Qiao Tiannan laughed heartily, but still apologized sincerely, "Sorry, Little Nannan, I was just too excited to see you."

The little girl in black wasn’t truly angry. Hearing Qiao Tiannan apologize, she immediately broke into a smile.
