The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1667 - 1664: Return to Xuanhuang

The Old Ghost Liu Tree remained unresponsive upon hearing the words.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but rub his forehead and mutter, "Brother, that’s not very kind of you."

"How about this, you pick what you feel comfortable saying."

Ye Xuan looked at the Old Ghost Liu Tree and rephrased his request.

The countless willow branches of the Old Ghost Liu Tree swayed, with bell chimes, drumbeats, and wind bell sounds becoming increasingly enchanting.

A moment later, the Old Ghost Liu Tree spoke, "Her name is Hong Yao."

"Hong Yao..."

Ye Xuan silently memorized the name and then waited for more.

But even after a long wait, the Old Ghost Liu Tree remained silent.

Ye Xuan frowned at the Old Ghost Liu Tree and asked, "Is that all?"

The Old Ghost Liu Tree replied, "That’s all."

Ye Xuan: "..."

"So, all you can tell me is a name?"

Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched in frustration.

The Old Ghost Liu Tree gently said, "Extra words hold no meaning. Now that you know the name, you can find out on your own, can’t you?"

Ye Xuan retorted, "Wouldn’t it be better if you told me directly?"

The Old Ghost Liu Tree calmly said, "I don’t want to entangle too much with her causality."

Ye Xuan looked at him curiously and said, "Are you afraid of my wife?"

The Old Ghost Liu Tree remained silent.

Ye Xuan stared at the Old Ghost Liu Tree but eventually gave up.

He knew this guy’s temperament. Once he decided not to talk, he wouldn’t.

As for whether the Old Ghost Liu Tree was truly afraid of Youwei, Ye Xuan couldn’t be sure; he was just trying to provoke the Old Ghost Liu Tree.

At the level of the Old Ghost Liu Tree, was there really anything in this world worth fearing?

Ye Xuan didn’t think so.

Perhaps he could go back to the Xuanhuang Great World and ask the Elder Mountain or Wu Muchen.

But chances are he won’t find Wu Muchen; that guy previously told him he was going to the Heavenly Domain, and he probably hasn’t returned yet.

"Forget it."

Ye Xuan stood up, dusted himself off, and left.

"You have been noticed."

At this time, the Old Ghost Liu Tree slowly spoke.

Ye Xuan suddenly stopped, frowned deeply, and asked, "The Emperor Burial Lord?"

The Old Ghost Liu Tree gave a faint "Mm."

At that moment, Ye Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.

But then, Ye Xuan stated calmly, "If I’ve been noticed, then so be it. It’s not yet time to face her; she must understand that too."

The Old Ghost Liu Tree slowly said, "Once the Emperor Road opens, it would be best if you’re the first to reach the peak; otherwise, unforeseen chaos will ensue."

Ye Xuan grinned and said, "Don’t worry, I’m well prepared."

The Old Ghost Liu Tree gently said, "This time, the Emperor Road might be different from before. You’d better be careful. Don’t let me down."

Ye Xuan glanced back at the Old Ghost Liu Tree and chuckled, "Since when did I become yours?"

The Old Ghost Liu Tree ignored Ye Xuan’s teasing and slowly said, "After all, our deal is still unfinished."

Ye Xuan’s smile faded, and he replied calmly, "Just don’t cause any trouble on the Emperor Road."

With that, Ye Xuan walked out of the world under the Old Ghost Liu Tree’s domain.

The ancient chaotic ship reappeared, and once Ye Xuan boarded it, he was engulfed again by the chaotic aura.

Everything returned to tranquility.

Although Ye Xuan didn’t learn much about Youwei this time, it wasn’t a total loss.

Dou Tian Divine Race.

King of Dou Tian.

This was a significant piece of information.

But these matters were still far in the future.

The immediate focus was still the Emperor Road.

Ye Xuan had a strong premonition that the Emperor Road might open ahead of time.

Previously, the Old Ghost Liu Tree had said that within ten years, the Heavenly Dao Suppression would be fully lifted, and by that time, the Emperor Road would open.

But today’s conversation suggested something extraordinary to Ye Xuan.

However, if the Emperor Road opened before the Heavenly Dao Suppression was lifted, how could one become an Emperor while it’s still in place?

This was a question.

But it could also be possible that the Emperor Road’s opening would trigger the immediate lifting of the Heavenly Dao Suppression.

The full lift of the Heavenly Dao Suppression was only seven or eight years away.

That time was nothing for a cultivator.

It would pass in the blink of an eye.

Uncertain what prompted it, the ancient chaotic ship delivered Ye Xuan out of the Netherworld Ancient Land, arriving outside a valley.

Ye Xuan opened his eyes, his pitch-black pupils as deep and dark as an eternal night.

The expedition to the Ghost Great World could be declared over.

Ye Xuan turned and stepped, instantly arriving at the nine-story pavilion of the Ghost Dragon City.

It was time to return to the Xuanhuang Great World.

"Emperor Ye."

Qiao Xinyu, who was guarding the nine-story pavilion, immediately noticed Ye Xuan.

"Inform Yun Daoli and Bai Zhiyu that we’re returning to Xuanhuang."

Ye Xuan said softly.

"Yes, Emperor Ye."

Qiao Xinyu received the order and quickly notified Yun Daoli and Bai Zhiyu.

Yun Daoli and Bai Zhiyu were not at the pavilion but were attending to their own matters. They hurriedly made their way back upon hearing the news, but Ye Xuan had already left with Qiao Xinyu.

Now that Ye Xuan had reached the Great Sage Realm, he naturally did not need Yun Daoli to see him off.

The Great Sage Realm allowed for seamless travel between two realms.

Traversing the Great World.

It wasn’t long before Ye Xuan and Qiao Xinyu returned to the Xuanhuang Great World.

"Finally, I can take off the mask."

Back in the Xuanhuang Great World, Qiao Xinyu removed the ghost mask on his face, revealing a sweet smile. His long black hair swayed, reflecting the light under the sunlight.

Dazzling and captivating.

Unfortunately, no one was admiring this scene.

Because Ye Xuan was focused on the sky above.

There, an immense and boundless continent spanned the skies, surrounded by endless nebulae, forming a Great World.

This vast land was indeed the Daozhou of the Nine States in the Xuanhuang Great World!

Ye Xuan and Qiao Xinyu were situated just below the Daozhou Land.

Below that was the boundary of the Xuanhuang Great World.

The Dao Law there was most terrifying; an ordinary cultivator approaching would be instantly annihilated.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Qiao Xinyu had already put on his veiled hat and noticed something amiss with Daozhou.

Beneath the Daozhou land, there should’ve been an endless sea of laws supporting it.

But now, it was engulfed in boundless white mist!

The kind of white mist clearly came from the Dao Chu Ancient Land!

"It seems that the anomaly in the Dao Chu Ancient Land hasn’t been stopped. This suggests that the situation over at the Death Netherworld in Dingzhou might not be good either."

Qiao Xinyu’s expression was extremely grave.

"You should head back to Dingzhou and take a look."

Ye Xuan said softly, as he flew towards Daozhou.

Before leaving the Xuanhuang Great World, the most terrifying Forbidden Land, the Dao Chu Ancient Land, in Daozhou had undergone a dreadful change, something Ye Xuan was naturally aware of.

However, later on, from the mouth of Yu Hongxiao from the Dragon Burying Court, he learned that though it seemed perilous, it actually contained great opportunities.

Especially for Saint Realm cultivators.

They could enter and seize the opportunities.

But the white mist was spreading rapidly, likely covering more than half of the Central Earth Divine Continent.

Better go up and see what’s going on.

(PS: The Ghost Realm storyline is temporarily ending, it’s time for Ye Xuan to return to Xuanhuang and show off)
