The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1704 - 1701: A Game of Chess
"Played a game of chess."
Ye Xuan said leisurely.
"Played a game of chess?"
The three Great Emperors, Ning Yu, Gu Tu, and Vajra, exchanged glances, all noticing the seriousness in each other’s eyes.
Playing chess...
Is Emperor Ye setting up a strategy?
Then what role does the Heavenly Termination Ancient Emperor play, is he a pawn of Emperor Ye?
In that instant, the three Great Emperors thought of many things.
"I wonder about this game of chess..." The Emperor Ning Yu tentatively inquired.
"Do you want to play too?"
Ye Xuan said with a smile.
This question left the three Great Emperors uncertain of how to respond.
"Emperor Ye."
Gu Tu looked at Ye Xuan and said solemnly, "You know me, Gu Tu, offending you back then was purely accidental. This Emperor apologizes to you!"
After speaking, the Great Emperor Gu Tu bowed to Ye Xuan three times.
Then, the Great Emperor Gu Tu looked at Ye Xuan and said, "I am truly fed up with this wretched place. Today, I have only one question, can I leave this place!"
"If not, this Emperor will self-destruct immediately."
The Great Emperor Gu Tu was very decisive.
"Gu Tu..."
The Great Emperor Vajra and the Great Emperor Ning Yu frowned as they looked at the Great Emperor Gu Tu.
This guy is so impatient, directly stating his needs like this will only leave himself vulnerable at the negotiating table!
"Is this also what you think?"
Ye Xuan looked at Ning Yu and Vajra.
Although the two did not want to admit it, since Gu Tu had already made it clear, they had nothing to hide and nodded one after another.
Ye Xuan did not rush to answer. Instead, he took off the Sword Nurturing Gourd from his waist, drank a sip of wine, and then slowly said under the expectant gaze of the three, "You are all dead."
These words caused each of the Great Emperors to show varying degrees of change in expression.
This fact, who doesn’t know it?
In the Empty Ancient City, it’s basically all dead people, only able to exist due to the Forbidden Power of the Empty Ancient City.
Otherwise, they would have been gone long ago.
"The dead cannot walk out of a grave unless..."
Ye Xuan looked into the distance and said, "Move the grave too."
The three Great Emperors frowned: "Can the Empty Ancient City be moved?"
Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "No one can move it."
The three Great Emperors couldn’t hide their disappointment.
Even though they had long known this result, hearing it from Ye Xuan’s mouth practically ended all their hopes.
Their existence in this way has no meaningful value!
The youthful-looking Great Emperor Gu Tu looked somewhat pale, biting his lip, his eyes calm, softly said: "Enough, after today, there will be no more Great Emperor Gu Tu!"
As he spoke, Great Emperor Gu Tu slapped his own forehead with a palm.
He intended to self-destruct!
Vajra and Ning Yu both changed their expressions and quickly intervened to stop him.
Then, Ning Yu looked at Ye Xuan and said solemnly: "Emperor Ye, even if Xiao Ning begs you, please finish your words, or else Gu Tu will be truly gone in a moment."
The Great Emperor Vajra also looked eagerly at Ye Xuan: "Emperor Ye..."
Ye Xuan looked calmly at the three of them and said lightly, "In the future, when you follow my orders, you can all leave."
With these words, the faces of the three Great Emperors slightly changed.
"Is Emperor Ye joking?" asked the Great Emperor Vajra.
"What do you think?" Ye Xuan replied.
"How can we trust you?" the Emperor Ning Yu asked.
"It’s too early to say these things now. When the time comes, you will naturally understand." Ye Xuan didn’t elaborate.
"How long will it take?" Gu Tu asked urgently.
"When the world is in chaos," Ye Xuan replied.
......
Three days later, Ye Xuan left the Dao Chu Ancient Land.
As to what Ye Xuan and the three Great Emperors discussed afterwards, no one knew.
However, when Ye Xuan left, the three Great Emperors personally saw him off.
After walking out of Dao Chu Ancient Land, Ye Xuan felt that the Ancient Character in his mind still hadn’t changed.
It seems that the two ancient characters had no specific interaction with Dao Chu Ancient Land.
"That eye has been watching me..."
The moment Ye Xuan walked out of Dao Chu Ancient Land, his gaze turned cold.
From the first moment he entered Dao Chu Ancient Land, there was no obvious sense of surveillance. In fact, Ye Xuan hadn’t even noticed it initially.
But later on, Ye Xuan detected it.
Especially after leaving, that feeling became exceptionally clear.
Ye Xuan had no doubt about who the probing intent came from.
It was definitely that Golden Vertical Eye!
It seems that his earlier actions of taking the three thousand ancient characters and the Mystic Character had made the Golden Vertical Eye one to remember him forever.
However, in this Dao Chu Ancient Land, the other party clearly couldn’t make a move against him.
It didn’t act on three occasions.
To this day, Ye Xuan still didn’t know the identity of the owner of that gaze.
He only knew that this Golden Vertical Eye was not from the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.
It might come from the Dou Tian Divine Domain.
Ye Xuan didn’t waste time on this matter but went to find Ning Fu and Ye Ling’er.
Meanwhile...
Heavenly Sea.
The Suspended Lifespan Immortal appeared once more, looking hesitant.
Because that lord had previously instructed not to disturb until that battle commenced.
Yet he had already come to disturb twice.
But he suspected that the lord may have left an avatar behind.
Before long...
A graceful figure slowly emerged outside the Heavenly Sea.
The figure was dressed in a Black Robe, with an impeccable beauty, a black Sword Mark on her brow, eyes opening and closing, ice-blue lenses like Mystic Ice from ages past melting away.
A cold and indifferent aura slowly spread out.
This person was none other than Zhou Youwei, who had been in seclusion for many years.
"What’s the matter now?"
Zhou Youwei looked at the Suspended Lifespan Immortal, her tone calm.
The Suspended Lifespan Immortal heard, feeling anxious inside, not daring to waste words, bluntly said: "Among the Nine Forbidden Lands of Xuanhuang, five Forbidden Lands are simultaneously retracting. At the same time, the Evil God Sect is wreaking havoc, and the person behind it is suspected to come from the Dou Tian Divine Domain..."
Zhou Youwei remained serene and transcendent, as though detached from the world, her voice ethereal: "Those entities suppressed in the past have begun to awaken."
The Suspended Lifespan Immortal asked for instructions: "Should we intervene?"
Zhou Youwei shook her head slightly: "Those few will handle it."
The Suspended Lifespan Immortal hesitated for a moment and said: "Emperor Ye might get involved in this matter."
Having said this, the Suspended Lifespan Immortal focused on his own breath, nose centered, not daring to look more towards Zhou Youwei.
Zhou Youwei, upon hearing, showed a trace of helplessness deep in her beautiful eyes.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Youwei calmly said: "Let it be."
The Suspended Lifespan Immortal nodded slightly, "Then this subordinate will take his leave first."
Zhou Youwei gently nodded her head.
The Suspended Lifespan Immortal dissipated into a wisp of green smoke, vanishing from sight.
The vast Heavenly Sea was left with only Zhou Youwei.
Zhou Youwei lightly bit her red lips, a thought in her heart.
She turned to look in the depths of the Heavenly Sea.
There was another Zhou Youwei.
Or rather...
Hong Yao.
Last time, after the return of the soul mark, she had no intention of staying in seclusion, always yearning for her husband.
So she took action to split herself in two.
One as Zhou Youwei, one as Hong Yao.
Hong Yao remained in seclusion, awaiting the arrival of that battle.
While she acted according to her true feelings.
Even though she split herself in two, she was still Hong Yao, and also Zhou Youwei, understanding the horror of that battle, she didn’t want her husband involved.
Now, it seemed that it was basically impossible.
If that’s the case...
Then it’s time to return.
Zhou Youwei sighed softly, her form disappearing into the Heavenly Sea.
