The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1689 - 1686: A Pair of Hands Behind the Scenes

Chapter 1689: Chapter 1686: A Pair of Hands Behind the Scenes

Boom!

Not long after.

A terrifying rumble resounded throughout the Heavenly State!

In that instant, everyone across the Heavenly State felt an inexplicable panic.

It was as if something dreadful was about to happen imminently.

This filled people with fear.

And within the Forbidden Land of Fu Lei Heaven, following that rumbling noise, a terrifying power exploded, directly pulverizing the palace that was sealed.

Roar!

A deafening dragon roar suddenly erupted.

Immediately, an Evil Dragon enshrouded in black ominous aura soared out, fierce and terrifying.

That scene was witnessed clearly by everyone in Fu Lei Heaven.

At the same time, among the Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons, the Heavenly Cauldron’s mysterious light noticeably dimmed.

"Damn..."

The faces of the powerful Guardian Gods of Nine Provinces changed drastically.

The Evil Dragon appeared!

No one at the scene knew better what this signified.

The calamity held by the Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons was being released at this moment!

"Good news, several Forbidden Lands that showed anomalies earlier have returned to normal!"

This news came, a blessing amidst misfortune.

"The Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons can be retracted now."

Ye Xuan said lightly.

"Hmm?"

Ye Xuan’s words made others slightly startled and puzzled: "The Forbidden Lands were just suppressed. If the Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons are retracted, isn’t there a risk of another anomaly?"

Ye Xuan, however, did not care to explain, but with a wave of his hand, the nine cauldrons returned to the hands of their respective bearers.

As for the Heavenly Cauldron, it was naturally temporarily kept by Ye Xuan.

"This?!"

Seeing Ye Xuan’s actions, many people’s faces changed.

If the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions really emerge again, could Ye Xuan take responsibility?

Yet no one dared to question it.

"Besides the Evil Dragon of Heavenly State, the Evil Dragons of Divine Continent and Earth State have also been released; the Evil God Sect seems intent on releasing all nine Evil Dragons. What do you intend to do?" Jade Void Old Taoist appeared beside Ye Xuan and softly asked.

Ye Xuan glanced at Jade Void Old Taoist and leisurely said, "You, as a Quasi-Emperor realm existence, need to ask me?"

Jade Void Old Taoist chuckled, "Just a Quasi-Emperor, even a Great Emperor would be indifferent in front of you. Besides, with the existence of Heavenly Dao Suppression now, what does Quasi-Emperor or Great Emperor matter?"

Ye Xuan’s expression was calm as he slowly said, "What do you think of the Evil God Sect?"

The smile faded from Jade Void Old Taoist’s face, his eyebrows lifted, "To be completely impartial, the power of Evil God Sect might be stronger than the heritage of some Great Emperor Immortal Sects."

This statement was not exaggerated; Jade Void Old Taoist, having lived for millions of years, was long aware of Evil God Sect’s presence.

Evil God Sect’s power spans All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, developing secretly. The true strength has never been fully revealed.

"Do you believe in their doctrine?"

Ye Xuan spoke again.

Jade Void Old Taoist shook his head, "They worship beings like Evil Dragons and want to release them. However, those assertions cannot stand; their real aim might actually be linked to formidable power."

"After all, no one can forsake the thirst for power."

Jade Void Old Taoist squinted his eyes, "Just wondering whether this power is a stepping stone to becoming an Emperor..."

Ye Xuan spoke slowly, "Then why haven’t you returned to Kunlun Ruins?"

Jade Void Old Taoist stretched lazily, "Afraid of what? The Ancestor is home anyway, those guys can’t overturn the heavens."

Ye Xuan naturally knew whom Jade Void Old Taoist referred to as the Ancestor.

It was the Protector of Kunlun Ruins, the woodcutter at the foot of the mountain.

But Jade Void Old Taoist remained calm; it didn’t mean everyone else could.

Sect Leader Chi Xing True Person of Earth Lungs Mountain, upon receiving the news, directly chose to set off back to Earth State, Earth Lungs Mountain, to deal with the Evil God Sect’s people.

He left Ning Fu behind, fearing that the departure of the bearers of Nine Cauldrons might impact the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions.

"Teacher, can I return to Desolate State now?"

Hall Master Jiang Qingming of Primordial Hall, Desolate State, sent a message to Ye Xuan.

Others might question Ye Xuan’s decision, but Jiang Qingming had complete faith in his teacher.

Since Ye Xuan chose to have them retract the Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons, it meant that even without them, the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions wouldn’t be affected.

"Go ahead, lest all nine Evil Dragons emerge and plunge Xuanhuang Great World into chaos." Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

The Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions returned to normal, yet Evil God Sect launched such a large-scale attack.

Was it coincidence?

Or was it premeditated?

It felt too coincidental.

If premeditated, then whoever orchestrated this is indeed formidable.

Ye Xuan kept pondering over this issue.

Was the Sovereign of Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions stirring trouble?

But the Sovereign of Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions couldn’t possibly create an inexplicable Evil God Sect.

Yet Ye Xuan inherently distrusts coincidences.

The return to normalcy of Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions intentionally conveyed a false signal that the gathering of Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons could suppress Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions!

Yet that was utterly impossible, Ye Xuan knew well the Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons and also understood Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions.

No such connection existed between them.

But what sort of existence could manipulate Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions?

Ye Xuan fell into deep thought.

What was hiding behind this that piqued Ye Xuan’s interest?

Ye Xuan could roughly guess there must be an invisible hand driving all this.

Perhaps even the Sovereign of Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions and Evil God Sect were unaware.

But the level of this existence.

How many in this world could be?

Within Ye Xuan’s known scope, only two.

Emperor Burial Lord.

Old Ghost Liu Tree.

Through the ages, among the various dreadful beings Ye Xuan encountered, none equaled these two.

As for comparisons between Emperor Burial Lord and Old Ghost Liu Tree, even Ye Xuan had no clear concept.

Because these two seemed like taboo existences, having transcended everything.

Old Ghost Liu Tree’s willow branches could directly annihilate True Spirits, erasing everything of the extinguished.

In Reincarnation, nothing of the extinguished would be seen.

And Emperor Burial Lord, merely with one ancient-spanning grasp, proved everything.

Even in Ye Xuan’s peak, he was certain he couldn’t achieve this feat.

"Could it be them..."

Ye Xuan frowned, what motive would there be for such an act?

For now, with limited clues, he couldn’t determine, but only retained suspicion regarding these two fellows.

If these two were indeed responsible, then it could be certain that the grand scheme would be far more horrifying than present events.

This might be merely a start.

"That so-called Divine King, best make your appearance today. If not, I’ll find you myself."

Ye Xuan muttered softly.
