The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1701 - 1698: Old Acquaintances of the Empty Ancient City

Chapter 1701: Chapter 1698: Old Acquaintances of the Empty Ancient City

After thinking it over, Ye Xuan felt a bit heavy-hearted.

This is very bad news.

The fact that he went to the Desolate Realm, Emperor Burial Lord is aware of, and involved in.

This means that right now, he’s under the very nose of Emperor Burial Lord!

"She finally found me..."

Ye Xuan sighed slightly in his heart.

Although he knew this day would eventually come, he didn’t expect it to come so quickly.

In fact, during the end period of the Mythical Era and the initial period of the Wilderness Era, Ye Xuan was always fleeing, trying to escape from Emperor Burial Lord.

Until later, when he completely got rid of her, he was constantly setting up various plans to thwart Emperor Burial Lord.

Otherwise, once again falling into the grasp of Emperor Burial Lord, Ye Xuan didn’t know what his fate would be.

He couldn’t see through that person.

Fortunately, his Emperor Soul had returned to his own body, otherwise, he would be completely done for.

However, after returning to his body, he was still being watched by Emperor Burial Lord, which is very bad news.

Since Emperor Burial Lord could once traverse endless time and space to take away his Life Soul, it proves she can cover the sky with one hand.

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but recall what the Old Ghost Liu Tree had said to him in Netherworld Ancient Land, that Emperor Burial Lord had already noticed him.

In other words, Emperor Burial Lord noticed him when he was in the Desolate Realm?

As for why she didn’t show up, perhaps it’s just as Ye Xuan said to Old Ghost Liu Tree, it wasn’t the right time yet for them to meet.

It seems it’s necessary to ascend the Emperor Road as soon as possible.

However, the opening of the Emperor Road was initially set to begin when Heavenly Dao Suppression was fully lifted.

But as the changes in heaven and earth intensify, the Emperor Road might arrive in advance.

Therefore, it’s impossible for Ye Xuan to confront Double Emperors head-on before the Emperor Road, unless Ye Xuan marches into the Heavenly Domain now.

But with his current strength, he really can’t take out the Double Emperors.

The gap is still very large.

Relying solely on the Emperor Soul is far from enough.

Although the Great Emperor is not the end, he is the pinnacle of each era, this statement is no joke.

Especially a Great Emperor bearing the Tian Ming, almost impossible to kill.

Nobody understands this better than Ye Xuan.

A Great Emperor can only die at the hands of another Great Emperor, or if their destiny is severed.

But besides the ’Heavenly Dao’, who can sever Tian Ming?

It is, in essence, an invisible presence.

"What else do you want to know?"

Seeing Ye Xuan silent for a long time, the Old Immortal Xuanming spoke up, "If you don’t tell me, I might just shut up."

Ye Xuan collected his thoughts and calmly said, "I do not believe the changes in several Forbidden Lands are a coincidence. If it was only one, that could be explained as a coincidence, but when Dao Chu Ancient Land, Desolate Realm, Inverted Sky, Death Netherworld, Qingming Cave, five Forbidden Lands undergo such changes simultaneously, do you really think it’s a coincidence?"

The Old Immortal Xuanming puffed a bit more of his dry tobacco, exhaling clouds of smoke, and said, "This matter, it’s hard to say."

Ye Xuan glanced at the gray-robed old man lying on the rocking chair, and said irritably, "If it’s hard to say, then return the Ancient Void Coin."

The Old Immortal Xuanming glared at Ye Xuan, shook his pipe, and then said, "The Desolate Realm can’t be visited. Why don’t you go see the Death Netherworld? Although you’re not familiar with the Master of Netherworld, you should know others, like... the Curse Tree."

Ye Xuan squinted his eyes at the Old Immortal Xuanming, saying nothing.

The Old Immortal Xuanming raised an eyebrow and said, "You don’t want to go? Then there’s nothing I can do. How about trying your luck in Inverted Sky?"

"But I wouldn’t recommend you go there. Although you know the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions well, some taboos, if touched with your current self, will ultimately pose a risk to your life."

"Forget it."

Ye Xuan twisted his neck, making a cracking sound, and slowly said, "I won’t go anywhere, I’ll head to the Endless Sea."

The Old Immortal Xuanming was taken aback: "What are you going to do in the Endless Sea? There hasn’t been any anomaly there."

Ye Xuan grinned but didn’t explain.

"I’m off."

Ye Xuan stood up and turned to leave. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The Old Immortal Xuanming stared intently at Ye Xuan’s departing back, his gaze growing deeper.

At this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly turned back to look at the Old Immortal Xuanming, calmly saying, "I hope by then, we’ll be on the same side."

The Old Immortal Xuanming didn’t reply, quietly puffing on his dry tobacco as if he hadn’t heard anything.

Ye Xuan left the Old Immortal’s shop.

Between him and this old fellow, to be honest, he didn’t believe there was any real friendship.

Mostly, there was just an exchange between them.

Although Ye Xuan already knew this old fellow acted on Youwei’s orders, he didn’t know the specifics.

On the contrary, he got more information from Bai Ze, that this Old Immortal Xuanming’s Dao and Immortal Bridge were severed, and it was someone who broke them.

This might be a bargaining chip for the future.

Unknowingly, Ye Xuan walked to the Tian Jie Residence on North Street.

This mansion, Ye Xuan had been here before, and even had a bout with the already incomplete Heavenly Termination Ancient Emperor.

That bout, though meaningless, allowed Ye Xuan to understand the Forbidden Power of the Empty Ancient City, and also had the Heavenly Termination Ancient Emperor jailed in the Empty Ancient City prison for three days.

Passing by this place again, Ye Xuan glanced over and found that the plaque had already been changed.

It was no longer the Tian Jie Residence, but the Nine Universe Residence.

"Ha, it seems after what happened back then, Little Jiu took over the Heavenly Termination’s residence."

Ye Xuan said with a chuckle.

When the Heavenly Termination Ancient Emperor was dealing with him, he revealed his strength, which drew the attention of the other Great Emperors on North Street.

In the Empty Ancient City, without the strength of a Great Emperor, there is no qualification to own a mansion, it’s a rule.

After exposing his strength, it was natural for the Heavenly Termination Ancient Emperor to attract the covetous eyes of other Great Emperors.

Moreover, that battle inflicted heavy losses on the Nine Universe Great Emperor, Gu Tu Great Emperor, and Vajra Great Emperor.

It’s quite normal for the Nine Universe Great Emperor to seek revenge against the Heavenly Termination Ancient Emperor.

"Little Jiu, won’t you invite me in for a drink?"

Standing outside the residence, Ye Xuan called out loudly.

Inside the Nine Universe Residence, the Nine Universe Great Emperor looked very frazzled. It was that guy again; why is he always lingering around like a haunting spirit!

"Great Emperor, what should we do?"

The two Emperor Generals were troubled.

They were afraid Ye Xuan might just force his way in.

In the Empty Ancient City, besides the Old Immortal Xuanming, it seemed no one really feared Ye Xuan.

This guy could summon the City Soldiers of the Empty Ancient City; who would dare be reckless?

No matter if it’s a Great Emperor or Quasi-Emperor, in this Empty Ancient City, facing the City Soldiers, one is a powerless weakling.

This is the Forbidden Power of the Empty Ancient City.

So-called Great Emperors were merely so during their lifetimes; in the Empty Ancient City, there’s no such thing as a Great Emperor.

"Ahem, it’s Emperor Ye who has come. I was just taking a nap, forgive me for not welcoming you sooner."

The Nine Universe Great Emperor braced himself to open the door and welcome him.

Ye Xuan squinted at the Nine Universe Great Emperor: "Did you get rid of Heavenly Termination?"

The Nine Universe Great Emperor replied earnestly, "No, it’s just that this fellow was insensible back then, daring to trouble Emperor Ye. I just thought I’d do you a favor by driving him away."

"He’s now residing in the courtyard at the end of North Street."
