The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1673 - 1670: Heaven Slaying

————

Ghost Buddha Sky Cave.

Only two days after Ye Xuan left, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix was already getting restless.

"What’s that guy up to? At his speed, he should have been back by now."

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix murmured to herself.

Let’s wait a little longer.

After all, it’s only been two days, no rush.

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix comforted herself.

————

"Dad."

Seeing Ye Mingtian react so quickly, Ye Xuan wasn’t surprised. He greeted him with a smile.

Because his dad had told him about his experiences before, his dad’s current strength was probably one of the most terrifying in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

Especially that broadsword in his dad’s hand, if there were no surprises, it was an extremely terrifying weapon in the Dou Tian Divine Domain.

Back then, even the Nine Netherworld Phoenix really wanted it.

Wait a moment...

Nine Netherworld Phoenix.

Ye Xuan suddenly realized he had forgotten something.

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix was still at the Ghost Buddha Sky Cave...

Ye Xuan felt a twinge of guilt; he had indeed forgotten about that.

After coming out from Old Ghost Liu Tree, he had been focused on matters concerning Youwei and had completely forgotten about it.

Never mind, I’ll go pick him up later.

"Weren’t you going to the Ghost Great World? Back so soon?"

"Weren’t those Ghost Clan girls to your taste?"

Ye Mingtian winked, not at all like a father.

Ye Xuan scratched his head, feeling embarrassed, "Would you dare say that if Mom were here?"

"What if your mom is here?"

Ye Mingtian raised his voice.

But then, Ye Mingtian immediately put on a serious face, speaking earnestly, "Very good, I was just testing you to see if you’ve betrayed Youwei. Looks like you passed the test, very good, as expected of my son!"

Not far away, Jiang Ye, clad in white and resembling a descending goddess, watched the father and son pair, her gaze falling on Ye Mingtian without saying a word.

"Mom."

Ye Xuan spotted where Jiang Ye was and greeted her obediently.

"Xiao Xuan." Jiang Ye smiled slightly, then glanced sharply at Ye Mingtian.

Ye Mingtian felt his scalp going numb, it’s over, it’s over.

He pulled Ye Xuan and headed in another direction, saying, "Xiao Xuan, your grandpa recently discovered a treasure, let me show you."

"It’s almost time for dinner, doesn’t my husband want to eat my cooking?"

Jiang Ye’s gentle voice came from behind Ye Mingtian, making him feel a chill down his spine.

"Wife, I was wrong."

Ye Mingtian hung his head and turned around, admitting his mistake honestly.

Ye Xuan watched the scene with a strange expression.

Dad’s really cowardly.

He wasn’t like this just now.

Jiang Ye gave Ye Mingtian a meaningful glance, but perhaps because her son was there, she didn’t say anything more, instead smiling at Ye Xuan, "Xiao Xuan, come eat, your dad said you’d be back today, so I made your favorite Sanxiang from childhood."

"Sanxiang, huh? It’s been so long since I’ve eaten it."

Ye Xuan grinned.

"Yeah, your mom’s cooking is the best in the world, let’s go eat a lot." Ye Mingtian quickly led Ye Xuan to the table.

The whole time, he didn’t dare to look at his own wife, Jiang Ye.

An absolute portrayal of the word ’coward.’

At the dining table, Jiang Ye constantly served Ye Xuan food.

As for Ye Mingtian?

Just eating rice was enough.

He received such unequal treatment, yet dared not show a hint of dissatisfaction, smiling the whole time.

After dinner, the father and son lay on heavenly clouds, both with legs crossed, enjoying their leisure.

"You know Ling’er went to Floating Mountain, right?"

Ye Xuan lazily remarked.

Ye Mingtian used his hands as a pillow and replied with a smile, "I know, that girl Ling’er wanted to go herself, but I reckon she won’t stay long, it’s too boring."

"Actually, I wanted to take her to the Cangqiong Pavilion, but she has the Dao Ding on her, and even as her father, I shouldn’t interfere."

"Do you think the so-called Nine Tripods Conference can really suppress the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions?"

Ye Xuan asked again.

Ye Mingtian sighed, "Suppress them? Hardly. It’s just that the major forces have no other way, so they came up with this method, hoping against hope."

"It’ll probably just provoke a massive attack from the Evil God Sect."

Ye Xuan chuckled, "Aren’t you the Cangqiong Pavilion Master? You should have a say."

Ye Mingtian pouted, "Forget it, I just sleep through those conferences, too lazy to speak, let them do as they please."

"In three days, at the Nine Tripods Conference, I’ll just make an appearance and maybe take out a few guys from the Evil God Sect."

Ye Mingtian stretched and mumbled.

Ye Xuan looked at his father and asked, "Dad, aren’t you worried at all about the changes with the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions?"

Ye Mingtian grinned and shook his head, "The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, whether you’re worried or happy, each day goes on."

"When things happen, don’t get stuck on them, you’ll feel better, and your heart will too."

The father and son said this last phrase in unison.

After speaking, they exchanged a smile.

The changes of the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions might be daunting, but at their level, there wasn’t much to fear.

The sky falling?

No problem.

We’ll hold it up.

What’s there to be afraid of?

"Dad, I’ve found it."

Ye Xuan didn’t dwell further on the Nine Tripods Conference and Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions, and softly said, "The place you visited during your Thousand Autumn Dream is called the Dou Tian Divine Domain, it was the enemy in that war."

Ye Mingtian abruptly sat up, a gleam of light in his eyes, "Dou Tian Divine Domain."

Instinctively, Ye Mingtian willed it, and that giant broadsword appeared in his hand.

This broadsword was Ye Mingtian’s weapon, and it was also an oddity he brought back from the Dou Tian Divine Domain.

During his Thousand Autumn Dream, he acquired this item and was then relentlessly hunted; at the brink of crisis, he awoke and became the successor of the Xuan Sect.

"Here, take a look."

Ye Mingtian tossed the broadsword to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan reached out to grasp it, finding it immensely heavy, heavier than he’d imagined.

Just the back of the blade was enough to flatten a person into a pulp.

Ye Xuan caressed the eerie runes on the broadsword, sensing the power within.

It contained surging murderous energy and an indescribably strange power, as if intending to cleave the heavens with a single strike.

"I’ve glimpsed some secrets from within this sword; it is called the Heaven Slaying."

Ye Mingtian spoke slowly, "What kind of grudge does that world have with the heavens, even naming their sword Heaven Slaying."

Ye Xuan, holding the Heaven Slaying, grinned, "And there’s a race called the Dou Tian Divine Race."

Ye Mingtian thought back to his days in the Dou Tian Divine Domain and suddenly understood a bit, "Perhaps those guys are the Dou Tian Divine Race; I must say, their combat prowess is truly formidable."

"If there were to be a war with our world, our side would be utterly overwhelmed..."
