The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 926 - 923: Do You Want to Die
Chapter 926: Chapter 923: Do You Want to Die
In the distant Wilderness Era, a creature shrouded in terrifying black aura descended upon the Dao Chu Ancient Land, marking his first visit here.
At the same time, a little girl, fond of wearing red, also arrived. The moment she saw him, she was captivated and followed him into the Dao Chu Ancient Land.
After emerging from the Dao Chu Ancient Land, the great Wilderness Era entered a new age known as the Red Dust Empress era.
......
Treading the rosy Dao path, Ye Xuan moved forward continuously, without any pause.
As he advanced, the radiant path grew increasingly bright, illuminating the surroundings to the extent that nothing could be seen. A backward glance would reveal the exit had become extremely distant.
It was as though entering a time tunnel.
After two hours of dashing, the radiant path finally began to vanish.
What appeared in sight was a mountain range made entirely of piled-up white bones.
At a glance, it appeared to be a sea of bones, utterly terrifying.
"Is this the Dao Chu Ancient Land?!"
Following behind Ye Xuan, everyone except Qiankun Ancestor was here for the first time, all revealing expressions of shock.
Including East Desolate Wolf and Ao Rulong and the others.
"This isn’t the Dao Chu Ancient Land, it’s merely the edge of the first dangerous pass, the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Land." Ye Xuan shook his head slightly and said.
"Heavenly Bone Forbidden Land..."
Zhang Jingtong and others murmured, examining the surroundings.
"Do we need to pass through here?" Luo Jingcheng couldn’t help but ask.
"Naturally, but the time isn’t right yet." Ye Xuan paused, not rushing to enter the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Land.
The crowd couldn’t help but look puzzled.
Ye Xuan had no intention of explaining further.
"The ancient characters disappeared. Does it mean I won’t need to make a move anymore?" Yao Yueqing approached Ye Xuan, speaking softly.
Ye Xuan glanced at Yao Yueqing, smiling warmly, "What’s the rush, this is just the starting point of the Dao Chu Ancient Land, the ancient characters are hidden in the mist, once it disperses, they’ll appear in the land, and you’ll need to act then."
Yao Yueqing couldn’t help but roll her eyes dramatically, full of charm.
Unfortunately, such ’scenery’ was for Ye Xuan’s eyes only.
"Ye Xuan, what’s going on?"
At this moment, the people from the Shaking Light Ancient Sect had caught up, with Elder Yan Wencai approaching Ye Xuan first to inquire about the situation.
"Have your men stop for a moment." Ye Xuan said.
Yan Wencai was puzzled but followed Ye Xuan’s instruction, stopping all Shaking Light Ancient Sect members.
The Saint Heir of Shaking Light frowned upon noticing Yao Yueqing beside Ye Xuan, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes.
He subtly signaled to several disciples nearby.
Those disciples understood immediately.
"Why are we stopping, didn’t we just enter the Dao Chu Ancient Land?" One disciple remarked.
"Can’t you see, it’s the order of that Ye Xuan!" Another disciple responded.
"Ye Xuan? We are disciples of the Shaking Light Ancient Sect, why should we obey an outsider’s order?" cried several disciples loudly.
These words were clearly meant for others in the Shaking Light Ancient Sect to hear.
Hearing these words, dissatisfaction arose among the crowd.
Initially, they were already discontent with Ye Xuan, and now, having to follow his command, no one was pleased.
"Shut up!"
However, a knowing Elder stepped out, coldly commanding.
The Elder’s words forbade any dissent, forcing the disciples to grumble, sarcastically targeting Ye Xuan.
The Shaking Light Saint Heir observed this, narrowing his eyes slightly, and said to the Elder, "I heard Elder Li Mingshan was killed."
The Elder’s face became tense, looking at the Saint Heir as he shook his head, "It’s better you don’t meddle in this, Saint Heir."
The Saint Heir frowned, his tone intensifying, "Why not? As the Saint Heir of the Shaking Light Ancient Sect, am I wrong to inquire about the life and death of our Elder?"
The Elder’s tone softened, "That’s not what I meant, of course."
"Then what do you mean? I heard it was Ye Xuan who killed Elder Li Mingshan!" The Saint Heir suddenly pressed, pointing to Ye Xuan not far away.
These words resounded throughout the Shaking Light Ancient Sect, stirring an uproar.
At the forefront, Elder Yan Wencai heard this and cast a cold glance at the Saint Heir, sternly commanding, "Silence."
The Saint Heir retorted coldly, "Elder Yan, as a senior of the Shaking Light Ancient Sect, why do you turn a blind eye to this matter?"
"What do you know?" Yan Wencai replied bluntly.
The Saint Heir’s face darkened, a cold sneer escaping his lips, "If you won’t handle it, let Ancestor Gong Bozhong take charge."
The unobtrusive gray-robed old man behind the Saint Heir raised his eyes, looking at Yan Wencai.
Yan Wencai suddenly turned towards the old man, his face turning pale as he said gravely, "Daring to come here without the Ancient Ancestor’s orders?"
The gray-robed old man, identified as Ancestor Gong Bozhong by the Saint Heir, smiled and said, "My primary task is to protect the Saint Heir’s path."
"Moreover..."
"You should address me as senior brother."
The gray-robed old man snorted.
A terrifying pressure instantly bore down on Yan Wencai. Unable to evade, he groaned as blood trickled from his lips. Glaring coldly at the gray-robed old man, he warned, "I caution you, this matter isn’t as simple as you think. If your faction seeks doom, so be it, but don’t drag the entire Shaking Light Ancient Sect down!"
The Shaking Light Ancient Sect, as a top overlord of the Central Earth Divine Continent, naturally had numerous factions. Gong Bozhong, the Saint Heir, and their cohorts formed one faction.
Meanwhile, Yan Wencai, Yao Yueqing, and others belonged to the lineage of the Ancient Ancestor.
Although such divisions usually weren’t apparent, they surfaced during decision-making.
Like now, with differing opinions and internal conflict.
"Senior brother, don’t go too far!" Yao Yueqing couldn’t stand it any longer and coldly confronted the Saint Heir, defending Yan Wencai.
The Saint Heir, looking at Yao Yueqing with indifference, said, "Junior sister, Elder Li Mingshan was a meritorious elder of our Shaking Light Ancient Sect and died inexplicably at an outsider’s hands. Elder Yan might be old and befuddled, but what has blinded you, standing with the murderer?"
Yao Yueqing’s face paled slightly, her gaze turning to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan, surveying the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Land, casually remarked, "Looking to cause trouble for me with so many excuses, hard on you."
"But if you’re unwilling to follow my orders, you can proceed alone, no need to wait here."
Ye Xuan spoke with an unperturbed calmness, unfazed.
To him, a mere Shaking Light Saint Heir was nothing more than rubble.
The Saint Heir coldly stated, "I’m not speaking about this, but about Elder Li Mingshan."
Ye Xuan turned, hands in pockets, smirking at the Saint Heir, "I don’t know who Li Mingshan is, but I did kill one of your Elders, so what of it?"
So what?
How audacious!
The Shaking Light Ancient Sect members erupted with anger.
The Shaking Light Saint Heir sneered, "Elder Yan Wencai was murdered, and as a senior, you do nothing, Elder Yan Wencai?"
The Elder’s face tensed, and he glanced at the Shaking Light Saint Heir, slightly shaking his head, "I don’t think you should involve yourself."
The Saint Heir frowned, speaking more forcefully, "What do you mean? As a Saint Heir of the Shaking Light Ancient Sect, is it wrong for me to inquire about the life and death of our Elder?"
The Elder softened his tone, saying, "Of course, that is not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean? I’ve heard that it was Ye Xuan who killed Elder Yan Wencai!" The Shaking Light Saint Heir suddenly accused, pointing to Ye Xuan who was standing not far away.
This statement set the whole Shaking Light Ancient Sect into a commotion.
The elder at the forefront, Yan Wencai, turned back to look at the Shaking Light Saint Heir and coldly said, "Quiet."
Still, the Shaking Light Saint Heir snorted coldly and said, "Elder Yan, as a senior of the Shaking Light Ancient Sect, should you not be concerned about such a grave matter?"
"You know nothing," Yan Wencai retorted bluntly.
The Shaking Light Saint Heir’s face darkened slightly as he coldly snorted, "If that’s the case, let’s have Ancestor Gong Bozhong handle this."
The gray-robed elder, standing discreetly behind the Shaking Light Saint Heir, slightly raised his eyes, looking towards Yan Wencai.
Yan Wencai quickly turned to the elder, his face paling as he sternly said, "How dare you come here without the Ancient Ancestor’s orders?"
The gray-robed elder, known as Gong Bozhong, smiled faintly upon hearing Yan Wencai’s words and calmly replied, "My primary task is to protect the Saint Heir on his journey."
"Besides..."
"You ought to call me Senior Uncle."
At this moment, the Shaking Light Ancient Sect members watching the scene grew increasingly indignant.
