The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 2254 - 2251: Joy Never Came, Despair Has Arrived

————

Xuanhuang Great World.

Fu Lei Heaven in Heavenly State.

The highest point.

The entrance to the Emperor Road still exists.

Beyond the Emperor Road, the Great Emperor Immortal Sect, Quasi-Emperor Daoist teachings, and Longevity Families from Nine States Land, and major continents of Xuanhuang Great World are still stationed here.

Perhaps the prodigies under their sects have already walked out of the Emperor Road, but it doesn’t stop them from obtaining firsthand information about the Emperor Road here.

Especially when familiar names kept appearing on the Heavenly Stele that hadn’t changed for a long time, they knew that this struggle for the Emperor Road was finally coming to a temporary close.

Though the Emperor Road will always exist, future battles will not be as intense as this one.

At least, it requires the next generation of prodigies to catch up.

Zhou Ye and Duan Qingcang were the first to walk out of the Emperor Road.

When seeing the two, a middle-aged Taoist from Immortal City Pavilion in Earth State, tears streaming down his face, went up to greet them.

At the same time, elderly strong figures from Qingtian Divine Sect in Heavenly State also moved forward to greet Duan Qingcang.

Zhou Ye, a disciple from Immortal City Pavilion in Earth State.

Also the top of the Mystic Yellow List during Ye Xuan’s absence.

Duan Qingcang, a successor of Qingtian Divine Sect, a hidden ancient sect in Heavenly State.

Also second only to Zhou Ye on the Mystic Yellow List.

The two are still blood brothers.

However, compared to almost half of the sect’s strong figures coming to greet Duan Qingcang, Zhou Ye’s side appeared somewhat lackluster.

Only one of Zhou Ye’s uncles came to greet him.

Zhou Ye was a bit dismayed, what’s the situation?

But his uncle candidly stated: "The Luotian Grand Jiao is about to begin, so there aren’t enough people to come and greet."

Hearing this, Zhou Ye’s eyes lit up: "Is the Luotian Grand Jiao about to begin? Then hurry, let’s go back!"

So the two left immediately, not even saying goodbye to Duan Qingcang.

Duan Qingcang, surrounded by everyone, felt rather helpless, but already a Quasi-Emperor, he exuded a terrifying aura with every gesture.

Though he’s not of high seniority in Qingtian Divine Sect, his words are certainly effective!

Especially now, apart from the two oldest Patriarchs of Qingtian Divine Sect, likely no one in the entire sect dares to refute his words.

Shortly after Duan Qingcang and Zhou Ye left.

Jiang Ya from Kunlun Ruins in Divine Continent also walked out of the Emperor Road alone.

And those responsible for greeting her included people from Jiang Family in Hong State, as well as Yuan Ning from Kunlun Ruins, Jiang Ya’s Master.

Jiang Ya’s senior brother Liu Yuanyuan also came, bringing lots of delicious food for Jiang Ya.

Additionally, Jiang Ya’s follower, Nie Jing from Qilin Continent was naturally there.

On the other side, Mu Tian, fifth on the Mystic Yellow List, a successor of the obscure Taishang Eight Diagrams Sect, quietly walked out of the Emperor Road.

Then, Xiao Zhenlong from Xiao Family in North Sea Desolate State and Yuhua Mysterious Woman Yun Si from Yuhua Immortal Sect in Xuanzhou appeared.

Soon after, Gu Changge and Snow Maiden walked out.

The moment Gu Changge walked out of Emperor Road, exclamations arose.

Because they knew, this was a true future Great Emperor!

Though others have reached Quasi-Emperor now, they’re not guaranteed to become Emperors in the future.

But Gu Changge is different; he is destined to become an Emperor!

After Gu Changge, the Evergreen Holy Daughter who was sealed nine thousand years ago at the pinnacle of Xuanhuang Emperor Road also came out, greeted by Evergreen Immortal Sect.

Besides, there seemed to be no one else.

Other prodigies on the Mystic Yellow List had mostly already walked out earlier.

Such as the sixth Rakshasa Holy Daughter, seventh Blood Demon Talent, tenth Sword Dust, eleventh Wang Xi, twelfth Ziwei Saint, thirteenth Wu Ting, et cetera.

Of course, from the moment they set foot on Emperor Road, the Mystic Yellow List underwent a rewrite.

These rankings are based on their status before stepping onto Emperor Road.

Naturally, now it needs rewriting.

Fourth-ranked Thousand Absolutes Saint had already fallen at the hands of Ye Xuan early on.

"You’ve come out."

Among those waiting from Yuhua Immortal Sect, there was a young man with an exceptional demeanor.

He was the son of Emperor General Han Yanbing — Han Jue.

Han Jue originally ascended the Emperor Road with Yuhua Mysterious Woman Yun Si, but while Yun Si reached the end, he exited early.

Yet Han Jue had already fallen for Yun Si long ago.

So he kept waiting for Yun Si.

Though his smile inexplicably seemed a bit pale.

Yun Si sensed something off about Han Jue, as well as the unusual expressions of the people from her sect, she frowned, "What happened?"

Han Jue shook his head, saying nothing.

But Zheng Wushan, who had walked down from Emperor Mu’s Palace earlier, directly said, "Emperor Mu’s Palace and Empress Palace have both been swept through by Ye Xuan..."

Upon hearing these words, Yun Si was stunned, her pupils suddenly contracted, incredulous.

She thought it was because she reached the end while Han Jue, son of an Emperor General, did not, causing the odd atmosphere.

Never did she expect such news.

At that moment, countless emotions surged in Yun Si’s heart.

She almost obtained the Dark Immortal Body back then, and now could only count as having a Half-Immortal Body, yet she gritted her teeth, persevering to the end of the Emperor Road.

All because she harbored a single thought.

She must reach the highest point to avenge an old arrow grudge!

The words Ye Xuan spoke while looking down at her from above, she would never forget.

Even though she walked out of Emperor Road later than Ye Xuan, she believed that as long as she persisted, she would eventually become an Emperor.

Before becoming an Emperor, you and I are both dark horses!

She had always believed in this.

But now to be told, Double Emperor Palace was swept through by Ye Xuan?!

"Did he..."

"Become Emperor?"

Yun Si’s face turned pale, showing a trace of sorrow.

Zheng Wushan shook his head, "...No!"

Hearing these two words, Yun Si felt relieved but also grew heavily perplexed.

Not becoming Emperor?!

Then how could he sweep through Double Emperor Palace?!

Sensing Yun Si’s confusion, Zheng Wushan continued, "Though he hasn’t become Emperor, he seems to have two subordinates who are Great Emperors..."

"Great Emperors who had never appeared before!"

Zheng Wushan’s gaze was extremely complex when saying this: "Perhaps you’ve seen one of them, the white-haired old man usually following Ye Xuan; no one expected him to be a Great Emperor."

"Moreover, when Ye Xuan ascended the Heavenly Domain, it was almost solely him who defeated all the Emperor Generals under Double Emperors."

Saying this, Zheng Wushan glanced at the nearby Han Jue.

At this moment, Han Jue’s eyes were already red.

Yun Si also looked at Han Jue.

Han Jue gritted his teeth, saying, "He... killed my father."

Han Jue’s father, of course, was Emperor General Han Yanbing.

Directly pinned by Ye Xuan using Han Yanbing’s Blood Tears Spear on Emperor Mu’s Palace plaque.

Listening to all this, Yun Si felt as if in a dream.

"...And Master and Empress Changxi?"

Yun Si voiced her greatest doubt.

Zheng Wushan shook his head, somewhat losing his soul, "Both Double Emperors disappeared, seemingly fearing Ye Xuan, the new Emperor."

"New... Emperor!"

Yun Si murmured, suddenly giving a bitter laugh.

Her persistence all along seemed so ridiculous.
