The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 2196 - 2193: Empress Qing Qian
Previously on The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor...
"Master!"
In this absolutely still space-time, the voice sounded unusually eerie.
It was even a little frightening.
But Ye Xuan was not scared.
He saw a young woman.
She was dressed in coarse clothing, her long hair somewhat disheveled, as if it hadn’t been tended to for a long time, casually draped over her shoulders.
Her pretty face seemed to have some dust on it.
The term "dust-covered face" roughly described it.
Yet those bright eyes were now flickering with light.
Seeing Ye Xuan, she was quite delighted.
She was sitting cross-legged in the void, not approaching Ye Xuan.
"Xiao Qian."
Seeing the dust-covered young woman, Ye Xuan smiled slightly.
This girl in coarse clothing was none other than Ye Xuan’s disciple, Empress Qing Qian—Guming Qian.
She was also the guide for Black Sky Mysterious Goddess and Guming God Emperor.
Guming Qian saw the Mortal Emperor’s corpse behind Ye Xuan, and her eyes dimmed slightly: "Is Senior Brother... dead?"
Ye Xuan was slightly moved upon hearing this, and said slowly, "When you went to the Black Nether Corpse Land before, was he still there?"
Guming Qian nodded solemnly: "At that time, Senior Brother encountered trouble, but he said he could handle it, even instructed me not to approach that place. I tried to help Senior Brother, but failed..."
"After that, I left the Black Nether Corpse Land to investigate matters related to Dou Tian Divine Domain."
"Then I came to the Nine Heavens Demon Pool and have been trapped here since."
"Unexpectedly, meeting Senior Brother again, we are... separated by life and death."
Guming Qian sighed.
She felt somewhat saddened.
Because she knew.
Senior Brother also followed the footsteps of Master.
Just like her.
And now, the world is missing a person like that.
She felt inexplicably lonely.
"Was the Divine Domain of Dou Tian and the Nine Heavens Demon Pool left by you, or did your Senior Brother instruct you?"
Ye Xuan asked again.
Guming Qian was a bit puzzled, why would Master ask this?
But she still answered honestly: "It was all instructed by Senior Brother."
Ye Xuan heard this and didn’t speak further, instead looking at the Mortal Emperor’s corpse beside him.
Although he was dead, that youthful face always remained calm, and those eyes that could see through many things would never open again.
Seeing Master remain silent, Guming Qian did not break the silence either.
Looking at Senior Brother’s corpse, she felt sad.
Although she only met Senior Brother once, upon knowing that this young man was her Senior Brother, she knew a lot.
Plus, her Senior Brother had told her many things in the Black Nether Corpse Land.
This allowed her to know the so-called truth.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have known about the Dou Tian Divine Domain.
A long time passed.
"I will try to save him."
Ye Xuan broke the silence, speaking softly.
Guming Qian was stunned, then became pleasantly surprised: "Does Master have a way to save Senior Brother?"
Ye Xuan shook his head slightly: "The chance is very small."
His only solution now was to bring the Mortal Emperor’s corpse back to the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.
But as he understood, just the corpse alone would be difficult to revive in the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.
And even if revived, it would only become part of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.
After all, the True Spirit of the Mortal Emperor had vanished.
"That is good enough, as long as there is a chance."
Guming Qian said softly.
Ye Xuan looked at Guming Qian, not asking further about the Mortal Emperor but instead about the Dou Tian Divine Domain.
In fact, when Guming Qian mentioned the Black Nether Corpse Land and Nine Heavens Demon Pool were revealed by the Mortal Emperor, Ye Xuan knew that Xiao Qian probably learned about Dou Tian Divine Domain from Heitian Guanfan.
Ye Xuan didn’t expect that his disciple Mortal Emperor had reached this point back then, able to see such a level.
It’s a pity, like Xiao Qian.
In those earlier years, after Mortal Emperor bid farewell to him, they never met again.
Reunited, Mortal Emperor was already dead.
Guming Qian took this opportunity to talk about the matters of Dou Tian Divine Domain.
Indeed.
Guming Qian knew about Dou Tian Divine Domain through Heitian Guanfan.
Back then, when Heitian Guanfan left Ye Xuan’s side, returned to the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld, he saw many different things.
That was...
The Main World of the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld!
Just as Ye Xuan could hear the voice of that Main World, Heitian Guanfan could see everything about this Main World.
Because of this, Heitian Guanfan learned many secrets and knew about those plans.
He activated those eyes, borrowing these secrets, and saw more things.
He vaguely glimpsed a corner of Immortal Ancient.
It was that corner that made him understand what Master was doing in the dark.
He felt it necessary to assist Master.
So he began to walk through various Dimension Worlds, from which to explore more things.
Later, in the Black Nether Corpse Land of the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld, he saw an ominous power.
Then he rushed inside.
He went to the depths of the Black Nether Corpse Land and found the source of the ominous power, that was the black lake remaining still.
He entered the black lake and saw the Divine Palace amidst the stars.
Then, he saw the withered old man inside the Divine Palace being restored.
A battle that matched the Emperor Battle in magnificence was launched.
Back when Guming Qian went there, coincidentally, it was when the Mortal Emperor was in the upper hand, pressing the dried old man back into the Divine Palace.
The Mortal Emperor had just caught a moment of respite.
Taking this opportunity, he told Guming Qian, his little junior sister, many things, urged Guming Qian to assist Master no matter what.
For if Master failed, not only the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld but also all Heavens and Myriads of Worlds and the Heavenly Domain would become a wasteland!
There would be no traces of life.
This shocked Guming Qian.
At that time, Guming Qian had just become an Emperor.
Initially, she didn’t fully believe Heitian Guanfan’s words, even questioned them.
It wasn’t until Heitian Guanfan borrowed her strength to let her see some secrets of Dou Tian Divine Domain.
At that moment, Guming Qian realized that all of it was true.
Upon reaching this point, Guming Qian suddenly faltered.
Looking at her Master Ye Xuan, her eyes unexpectedly reddened, throat choked: "...Senior Brother at the time was actually able to suppress that person, but to make me believe, chose to end part of his strength to give me."
"I am the sinner who let Senior Brother fall!"
For the moment, Guming Qian finally realized.
Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm, saying nothing.
He had naturally deduced this as well.
But as matters stood, saying more would be useless.
"What killed him was not you, but the people of Dou Tian Divine Domain..."
In the end, Ye Xuan said something to comfort her.
Guming Qian suppressed her emotions, stated firmly: "These years, I’ve been investigating Dou Tian Divine Domain’s plans, and now I can continue to confirm, they are indeed using the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld as a springboard, planning to destroy all Heavens and Myriads of Worlds and the Heavenly Domain!"
"But I don’t quite understand their purpose."
