The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1313 - 1310: Schemes and Intrigue

The Curse Tree turned and left.

But it did not return to the Second Layer of Cursed Land; instead, it returned to that eerie and ancient world.

The Curse Tree looked at the Nine Netherworld Phoenix still lying motionless on the altar without speaking.

"He escaped."

The Curse Tree said hoarsely, with a hint of hatred in its eyes.

If the Curse Tree were to take human form, it would undoubtedly have clenched fists and grit teeth at this moment.

The Curse Tree looked up at a certain place in the void and said, "Sir, can the master’s vengeance still be repaid?"

The void at which the Curse Tree was looking revealed a figure.

It was a young man in green, carrying a sword, seemingly a Sword Cultivator.

If Ye Xuan were here at this moment, he would surely be shocked.

Because this young man was none other than the Sword Cultivator Ye Xuan had encountered when he came to explore the Death Netherworld.

This person had clearly died at Ye Xuan’s hands, yet now he was appearing here.

And he was addressed by the Curse Tree as—Sir!?

The young Sword Cultivator remained calm, looking at the immobile Nine Netherworld Phoenix, and said slowly, "As long as its true body is here, it will never escape the suppression of the Sijiyouming Pillar."

"As for your master’s vengeance..."

"I will naturally take care of it."

"You just need to do what you should."

"No more talking."

The young Sword Cultivator’s gaze shifted lightly to the Curse Tree and said indifferently, "That fellow is related to the one from the Emperor’s Burial Ground. The Nine Netherworld Phoenix obviously doesn’t know this, so it considers him a last straw. I believe that fellow will go to the Emperor’s Burial Ground, and when that happens, the one from the Emperor’s Burial Ground will naturally take action to suppress him."

"By that time, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix will surely die."

The young Sword Cultivator seemed to be talking to the Curse Tree, yet it also seemed he was talking to himself.

Upon hearing this, the Curse Tree was thrown into a tempestuous turmoil within.

The one from the Emperor’s Burial Ground...

This?!

So Emperor Ye actually has such a background!?

No wonder this Sir chose to let the Nine Netherworld Phoenix escape with Emperor Ye.

To kill with a borrowed knife.

Once the Nine Netherworld Phoenix follows Emperor Ye to the Emperor’s Burial Ground, it will surely be suppressed by the unparalleled presence there. Then they can kill the true body of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix.

In this way, the master’s vengeance can be repaid!

Thinking of this, the Curse Tree was filled with joy.

Master...

How many years has it been? Your vengeance will finally be avenged!

"Don’t get too excited, I still don’t know the nature of the relationship between that person and the one from the Emperor’s Burial Ground. Besides, with his current strength, he can’t reach the Emperor’s Burial Ground."

The young Sword Cultivator glanced at the Curse Tree and spoke slowly.

The Curse Tree collected its emotions, bowing humbly, "Yes, Sir."

The young Sword Cultivator said lightly, "Also, you are not to interfere with whatever he is doing in the Curse Abyss, understand?"

The Curse Tree’s heart skipped a beat, and it replied respectfully, "Understood!"

When the Curse Tree looked back at the young Sword Cultivator, he found that this Sir had already disappeared.

The Curse Tree was not surprised by the mysterious comings and goings of this Sir.

Because this Sir...

was the true Sovereign of the Death Netherworld! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

As for the Sir that the Curse Tree had mentioned to Ye Xuan earlier, he was not the Sovereign of the Death Netherworld but the Curse Tree’s former master.

That person had died at the hands of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix.

This was also one of the important reasons why the Nine Netherworld Phoenix was suppressed here.

The Curse Tree gave one last glance at the true body of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix, then left coldly.

He believed that the next time he came to this place, it would be the time of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix’s death!

————

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan, traversing the void on his way to the Curse Abyss, had a strange expression.

Ye Xuan naturally would not fully trust the Curse Tree’s words.

But he could discern that the Nine Netherworld Phoenix was definitely not simple.

Beyond that...

Ye Xuan received feedback from the Taixu Pearl, indicating that the Divine Soul of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix was hidden on the other side of the void, following alongside him.

"If what the Curse Tree said is true, the power of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix is still quite some distance away from the Sovereign of the Death Netherworld..."

Ye Xuan pondered to himself.

With the Divine Soul of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix already having escaped, why did neither the Curse Tree nor the Sovereign of the Death Netherworld seem to notice?

They had suppressed the Nine Netherworld Phoenix for so many years; besides the so-called Sijiyouming Pillar, there must have been other preventive measures.

The only explanation was that they wanted to let the Divine Soul of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix escape.

Perhaps the Curse Tree and the Sovereign of the Death Netherworld were also aware of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix’s Divine Soul following beside him...

"Interesting..."

Ye Xuan’s lips curled slightly.

Even though he couldn’t figure out what these guys were up to, it didn’t hinder Ye Xuan’s action.

The main goal of this trip, the Silence Immortal Wheel, was already in hand, and the final stop was the Curse Abyss.

Boom!

In the next moment.

Ye Xuan descended upon the Curse Abyss.

Endless curses surged toward him madly.

The Curse Power Ye Xuan absorbed himself was apparently not enough, but this wouldn’t trouble him.

Ye Xuan directly summoned the Silence Immortal Wheel.

A dense Death Qi enveloped Ye Xuan, making him appear almost like a dead man.

With that, the surging curses scattered and fled.

This was the only breach in the Netherworld’s taboo.

If one dies before being cursed, they won’t be corroded by the curse.

But if one is cursed to death, they will be manipulated by the curse, transforming into a zombie with no self-awareness.

After stabilizing his figure, Ye Xuan continued to dive deeper.

On the other side of the void, the weak Divine Soul of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix curled into a ball, silently watching Ye Xuan’s actions while pondering about the Curse Tree.

"It looks like there’s indeed an issue with that guy’s Sir, otherwise how could my abrupt departure go unnoticed..."

"Forget it, let’s use this kid to escape this Death Netherworld first, and then find another opportunity to contact others."

With this thought, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix suppressed its Soul Power to the lowest possible level, leaving only a faint trace.

Lurking within the void, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix was certain no one could detect it now.

Once out of the Death Netherworld, all actions would be much smoother.

"I wonder if that guy from Gui Mountain is still okay..." The Nine Netherworld Phoenix thought of its subordinate, a monstrously fierce beast with four hoof-like legs, resembling a tiger, and a face like a malevolent ghost.

"Eh?" The Nine Netherworld Phoenix suddenly noticed something.

Just then, Ye Xuan was utilizing the Emperor Soul, searching for some presence.

After a while, Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up, quickly heading in a certain direction.

This place was the Curse Abyss, and on the surrounding cliff faces, there were grotesque protrusions.

On those sharp black stones, one could even see some horrifyingly conspicuous corpses.

The direction Ye Xuan headed towards had a small platform big enough to accommodate a person, and on that small platform, a mutant beast lay curled up, barely alive.
