The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1713 - 1710: Some Things

The words of Emperor Ling Xiao aroused Empress Changxi’s wrath.

The Emperor’s Might fiercely erupted, instantly invoking the Heaven and Earth Rules, surging into Emperor Ling Xiao’s body, nearly shattering him to pieces!

Ultimately, Emperor Ling Xiao was merely an avatar; if it had been his real body, he might have withstood it, but this avatar could not withstand it at all.

Blood flowed incessantly from Emperor Ling Xiao’s seven apertures, making him appear exceptionally ghastly.

Raising his head, Emperor Ling Xiao gazed at that perfect, flawless beauty, whose eternally icy expression now bore a trace of anger and murderous intent.

"Those words you just spoke are enough to deserve death a thousand times over."

Empress Changxi slowly spoke, her tone still utterly calm: "But considering the camaraderie of the past, this Emperor spares your life; you may retreat, this avatar can still exist for ten thousand years."

Emperor Ling Xiao laughed again, a trace of mockery rising in his eyes: "Since the Empress speaks of camaraderie for someone as insignificant as me, how is there none for your own master, your own husband?"

On Empress Changxi’s icy face, a genuine intent to kill appeared, and she looked at Emperor Ling Xiao coldly: "Do you truly think that by dying, this Emperor will not hold you accountable?"

"Do you believe I won’t toss your soul into the Netherworld to let them torment you for hundreds of lifetimes?"

Emperor Ling Xiao said indifferently: "The Empress’s words are influential, I naturally believe them, but I still ask the Empress, considering the past camaraderie, to give me an answer."

"If you provide an answer, even if I am suppressed and tormented for hundreds of lifetimes, I will accept it."

Empress Changxi looked at the obstinate Emperor Ling Xiao, surprisedly retracting her murderous aura, and then said gently: "Why go through all this trouble?"

Emperor Ling Xiao remained silent, only looking at Empress Changxi, hoping for an answer.

Empress Changxi looked into the distance as if trying to see through to the end of time, whispering: "Once Emperor Ye’s elder brother said, past events are often called stories."

"Stories, stories, mere past events, too much talk is pointless."

Emperor Ling Xiao was silent for a long time, once more lowering his head.

Then.

For the third time, Emperor Ling Xiao raised his head, asking in an extremely calm voice: "Who stands behind you and Emperor Mu?"

These words brought an unusual gleam to Empress Changxi’s eyes.

Looking at the first Emperor General who had once followed her, Empress Changxi felt she had underestimated him.

Among her twelve Emperor Generals, the weakest was commonly acknowledged to be Emperor General Spider.

The strongest was Emperor General Yun Shan.

Emperor Ling Xiao, although the first to follow her and the top in martial arts, was considered quite average among her twelve Emperor Generals.

In later years, Empress Changxi often did not include him in major affairs.

Yet unexpectedly, this Emperor General saw through that layer?

Emperor Ling Xiao also noticed the fleeting unusual color in Empress Changxi’s eyes, and he spoke intensely: "Did you and Emperor Mu betray Emperor Ye against your true intentions?"

He spoke quickly.

If that were the truth, he could die content.

He believed that once Emperor Ye learned the truth, he would surely forgive, and reconcile with the Empress.

But the next moment, Empress Changxi’s response chilled him to the core.

"You are wrong."

Empress Changxi shook her head: "This is exactly what Mu Yun and I intended, as you said, a Great Emperor stands above all living beings, but as long as Emperor Ye is here, neither of us will belong in that category, regardless of being a Great Emperor, what does it matter?"

"Though you are in the Quasi-Emperor Realm, you only know a tiny fraction of the Emperor Realm secret."

"Some matters you will never understand."

Empress Changxi looked at Emperor Ling Xiao’s avatar, speaking these words with great peace.

Emperor Ling Xiao watched the composed Empress Changxi, staring for a long while, as if recognizing her for the first time, feeling an overwhelming sense of unfamiliarity.

Was this the Empress Changxi he chose to follow?

Perhaps, he truly was mistaken.

After that incident years ago, he should have resolutely entered the Revenge Lineage...

Or, after descending to the Lower Realm, he should have straightforwardly confided in Emperor Ye, standing by his side.

Rather than choosing blind loyalty.

The avatar of Emperor Ling Xiao gradually dissipated.

Only a sigh lingered, refusing to disperse.

Empress Changxi watched as Emperor Ling Xiao’s avatar dissolved like mist, unmoved.

That final sentence of hers, there was not a shred of falsehood.

Some things, Emperor Ling Xiao would never understand.

"Empress, Emperor General Blood Robe requests an audience."

At this time, a maid entered, respectfully stating.

Empress Changxi gathered her thoughts, responding mildly: "No audience, instruct him to bury Emperor Ling Xiao’s body, and if he dares to descend for revenge, he shall never return."

"As the Empress commands."

The maid left, conveying the message to the waiting Emperor General Blood Robe.

Upon hearing this, Emperor General Blood Robe paled, his fists clenching tightly, but eventually, he could only bow in the direction of Empress Changxi and comply with the order.

Emperor General Blood Robe carried Emperor Ling Xiao’s body to an Immortal Mountain, burying him, personally erecting a tombstone.

He set up various restrictions around to prevent grave robbers from desecrating it.

The body of someone in the Quasi-Emperor Realm contained boundless power, remaining immortal even after millions of years of death.

As Emperor Ling Xiao was laid to rest, news of his burial swiftly spread.

The entire Heavenly Domain Thirty-Three Heavens became aware of this event.

Emperor Ling Xiao descended to the Lower Realm and was ambushed and slain!

The Thirty-Three Heavens, filled with agents from the Revenge Lineage, instantly learned of the event.

"Hahaha, no need to think, it must be Emperor Ye’s doing!"

"This is delightful; Changxi, the traitor, must be sobbing now, losing three Emperor Generals before the Heavenly Dao Suppression has even ended."

"Let’s act quickly, Mu Yun and Changxi’s people are causing chaos in the Lower Realm, we must seize this opportunity to strike a thunderous blow!"

"..."

Even Black Lotus Emperor General under suppression found out due to Dao Xuan Sect Head Zhou Xuanlin intentionally leaking the information, though she didn’t believe it, suspecting it was a trap by the Revenge Lineage. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

However, when someone recorded Emperor Ling Xiao’s tomb via a Shadow Stone and presented it before her, she fell silent.

Emperor Ling Xiao had truly fallen!

Her emotions were mixed.

First Spider Emperor, now Ling Xiao.

She too had fallen early into the clutches of the Revenge Lineage.

Could it be true that Emperor Ye was poised to return?

No!

The Empress’s might is unparalleled, even Emperor Mu is no match; even if Emperor Ye returns, he wouldn’t be a match for the Empress.

The moment the Heavenly Dao Suppression lifts will be the moment the Empress descends to suppress.

Black Lotus Emperor General collected her thoughts, ceasing her chaotic imaginings.

Meanwhile, in Emperor Mu’s Heaven.

Each of the Emperor Generals was discussing the matter.

They felt a sense of poignancy and instructed Emperor Tian Tu in the Ancient Great World to avoid provoking Emperor Ye unless Emperor Ye ventures to the Ancient Great World, else he might get slaughtered.
