The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1282 - 1279: Secret Discussion

Ye Xuan coldly snorted, "Didn’t I make it clear back then?"

The face of the Curse Tree contorted again with rage, "You have the nerve to mention back then, you directly took my essence, almost costing me my life..."

"There we go again." Ye Xuan interrupted impatiently.

The Curse Tree snorted coldly, clearly displeased.

After a while, the Curse Tree finally calmed down and said in a deep voice, "What exactly did you do with my essence?"

Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Naturally, to make it shine and burn."

"In the ancient times, you were revered as the Curse God, the deity of all Curse Sealers in the world, too bad you never saw that moment."

At this point, Ye Xuan seemed to regret it.

Yet the Curse Tree looked at Ye Xuan suspiciously, not really believing the words of this Undying Night Emperor.

Because back then, he believed the lies of this guy, resulting in his essence being taken and almost losing his life.

At that time, the Curse Tree made up his mind that the next time he saw the Undying Night Emperor, he would crush him to dust to vent his anger.

"Don’t be skeptical, although Curse Sealers are extremely rare in this era, they still exist. When someday you are able to leave the Death Netherworld, I will naturally introduce you to them."

Ye Xuan saw the Curse Tree’s disbelief, so he continued speaking.

In these words, Ye Xuan did not deceive the Curse Tree.

Though back then Ye Xuan had deceived and taken the essence of the Curse Tree, he hadn’t destroyed it, but rather developed a path known as Curse Sealer.

In ancient times, Curse Sealers were once infinitely glorious.

Even mainstream cultivators were overwhelmed by them.

Though present-day Curse Sealers are not as brilliant, they still exist in the world, anticipating the day they can regain their glory.

And in the history of Curse Sealers, the Curse Tree was revered as the Curse God.

This was also a kind of compensation Ye Xuan offered to the Curse Tree.

Of course, more importantly, Ye Xuan used this to conceal himself, letting the Curse Tree become a scapegoat.

But these matters were known only to Ye Xuan.

Back then, the scheme against the Curse Tree was indeed true.

And now, what Ye Xuan said was also true.

As for whether it’s truly connected...

Heh.

It’s up to the Curse Tree to savor and ponder it himself.

"Then I’ll believe you this once. What are your intentions for coming to the Death Netherworld this time?" The Curse Tree snorted coldly, choosing to temporarily trust Ye Xuan.

Because the Curse Tree could feel that after his essence was lost, he indeed faced annihilation, but for some reason, an invisible force stabilized the situation, allowing him to gradually take root in the Second Curse Land and continue till now.

And now his strength had recovered as before.

But that invisible force back then had always baffled him.

Listening to Ye Xuan’s words now, the Curse Tree could vaguely feel that it was probably due to the creation of the path of Curse Sealers, giving him a certain amount of power.

However, the Curse Tree still deeply doubted Ye Xuan.

"The Dao Chu Ancient Land has already opened, did you know?" Ye Xuan looked steadily at the Curse Tree, speaking softly.

The Curse Tree’s expression showed slight changes. Though he hid it well, Ye Xuan clearly caught it.

So this old thing didn’t know...

Ye Xuan silently mused to himself.

"So what if I knew." The Curse Tree, however, spoke earnestly.

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but want to laugh, saying lightly, "Now that the Death Netherworld is also opening, what do you think this means?"

"If you still don’t know, let me give you some news, within three years, the Desolate Realm will also open."

"At that time, the Great Ruins, Black Abyss, Thunder Pond, Endless Sea, Qingming Tripod, and Inverted Sky will also open one after another."

"So, what do you think this means?"

Ye Xuan looked calmly at the Curse Tree.

The place names mentioned by Ye Xuan were none other than the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions!

The Curse Tree finally couldn’t contain the shock in his heart, and his expression turned incredibly serious. His eyes were somber, staring at Ye Xuan, asking in a deep voice, "What do you think this means?"

Ye Xuan grinned, saying mockingly, "It naturally means they are about to open."

The Curse Tree was instantly speechless, snorted coldly, "Stop playing coy, there are things I know more about than you."

Ye Xuan playfully said, "Every time I go to Dao Chu Ancient Land, I always take a stroll to the Old Immortal Shop in Empty Ancient City, do you really think you know more than I do?"

The Old Immortal Shop!

The Curse Tree’s expression changed again.

Ye Xuan had been observing the Curse Tree’s change in expression. Seeing his shock, he couldn’t help but laugh, "It seems you know that guy, the Hanging Life Old Immortal."

The Curse Tree was silent.

Ye Xuan said calmly, "Rest assured, he won’t come looking for trouble with you, he’s still in Empty Ancient City."

The Curse Tree frowned and said seriously, "You’re lying to me, didn’t you say the Dao Chu Ancient Land has already opened?"

Ye Xuan nodded, "Of course it has opened, does it have anything to do with that old fellow in Empty Ancient City?"

The Curse Tree immediately replied, "Isn’t that nonsense? Of course, it’s related. Dao Chu Ancient Land has opened nine times, after which the ten deadly barriers inside will surely..."

At this point, the Curse Tree abruptly shut his mouth, his face looking a bit unpleasant as he stared at Ye Xuan, saying in a deep voice, "You’re trying to trick me again, you bastard!"

Ye Xuan smiled lightly and said, "It’s not just Dao Chu Ancient Land, after the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions open nine times, there will be some degree of change, or rather, the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions will re-link with this world, or perhaps with All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, or even... form an unprecedented world again?"

"Or maybe, that world once existed?"

Ye Xuan’s black eyes were like an eternal night, dark and deep.

But the words he spoke, made the Curse Tree feel a chill down his spine.

The Curse Tree looked at Ye Xuan, and for a moment couldn’t speak.

He had always thought Ye Xuan was trying to trap him.

Now he understood that Ye Xuan wasn’t trying to trap him because Ye Xuan didn’t actually know less than him!

Ye Xuan saw the Curse Tree’s stunned silence and was more certain of his speculation.

Ye Xuan beckoned, and the Old Ghost’s willow branch floating nearby landed in his hand.

Ye Xuan waved the willow branch in front of the Curse Tree and asked with a smile, "Do you recognize this?"

The Curse Tree examined it and snorted coldly, "I don’t recognize it. What is this thing?"

Ye Xuan put away the Old Ghost’s willow branch, smiled lightly, and said, "Nothing much."

It seems that the Curse Tree really doesn’t know as much as he does.

At least, it can be confirmed that the existence of the Curse Tree, in a certain sense, is even inferior to Gai.
