The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 900 - 897: Hard to Distinguish Black and White, Yet There is Right and Wrong

Chapter 900: Chapter 897: Hard to Distinguish Black and White, Yet There is Right and Wrong

How could someone who has survived for so long suddenly fall into darkness?

Moreover, when they met before, he didn’t notice anything unusual about Fan Wanqing.

"Isn’t it astonishing?" Ye Xuan said with a calm smile.

Yun Daoli nodded; indeed, this matter puzzled him greatly.

Ye Xuan squinted slightly and said, "The older they are, the deeper they hide. Even though he acted so respectful when meeting me, in reality, upon seeing that I wasn’t in the same body as before, he considered me insignificant in his heart."

"Including when facing that young girl Ning Fu; he was only pretending."

Under the ghostly mask, Yun Daoli’s eyes squinted in confusion as he said, "What’s his purpose in doing this? As the Mountain God of East Mountain, he is a legitimate deity, and later has the chance to become a Daoist True God. His actions appear to be self-destructive."

Ye Xuan shook his head and said slowly, "It’s not that simple. The so-called Daoist True God is indeed very tempting to the minions of dark spirits, but for a Mountain God of Fan Wanqing’s caliber, it becomes a constraint. His pinnacle is merely being a Daoist True God."

"Compared to normal cultivators, their pinnacle is different."

"A normal cultivator’s pinnacle is becoming a Great Emperor, wielding the divine mandate, and being invincible in the world."

"Whereas a Daoist True God, despite possessing an immortal golden body, is ultimately not a match against a Great Emperor, always overshadowed. That’s why veteran True Persons of Daoism can easily suppress those Daoist True Gods."

"Fan Wanqing’s descent into darkness didn’t happen overnight; he has been suppressing it for a long time. It wasn’t until Ning Fu appeared that he saw hope."

"This probably counts as his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he chose to gamble."

Ye Xuan spoke eloquently, analyzing Fan Wanqing extremely thoroughly.

Upon hearing this, Yun Daoli understood and said hoarsely, "In simple terms, he lacks the foundation but harbors an overwhelming ambition, ultimately leading to harm for both himself and others."

Ye Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Do you think Fan Wanqing’s approach was wrong?"

Yun Daoli pondered, "His own ambition is naturally not wrong, for people always strive upwards. As for his means, you could say he was wrong, as the young girl was innocent, or you could say he wasn’t wrong; after all, the rules of this world are made by the strong."

"So it depends on whether he succeeds."

"Do you think he will succeed?" Ye Xuan smiled slightly.

Without thinking, Yun Daoli shook his head, "He will definitely fail; after all, if he had a chance of succeeding, with your style, you would have already dealt with him when he paid his respects to you. Otherwise, the young girl would be gone."

Ye Xuan’s mouth curved slightly, "Do you see why I chose you back then?"

Yun Daoli was momentarily stunned, under the ghostly mask, a modest smile couldn’t help but appear on his refined face.

He held endless gratitude toward Ye Xuan.

From a young age, he grew up in a ’prison,’ where the only task was to survive through slaughter, to start another day of slaughter.

It was a hell, trapping everyone inside.

No one could see hope.

But nobody wanted to die by the hands of others, so they fought desperately to survive.

Until one day, Ye Xuan easily and effortlessly destroyed that hell, freeing everyone.

Some of those who survived chose suicide.

Others fled in pursuit of a life they desired.

A part chose to stay, gazing up at Ye Xuan, silently following him.

Yun Daoli was one of them.

There were over three thousand people who followed Ye Xuan.

But ultimately, fewer than a hundred persisted.

Among those less than a hundred, Ye Xuan chose only three.

The others were sent away by Ye Xuan.

Though they couldn’t continue following Ye Xuan, all of them later became overlords in their own right, ruling their domains.

The three chosen ones vanished without a trace.

In fact, because of this, the ones who were sent away even felt a sense of relief.

However, they didn’t know that those three were the luckiest, as they each joined one of the Revenge Lineage’s three factions.

Yun Daoli joined the Void Sect.

Though his reputation was indeed inconspicuous.

The notoriety of the Void Beast resonated throughout the Ghost Great World.

The other two also gained notoriety, but not by their real names—rather, through nicknames.

It was for this reason that those existences couldn’t discern the whereabouts or the reputations of Yun Daoli and the other two.

"The people of the world struggle to discern black from white, yet worldly matters can be right or wrong." Ye Xuan murmured to himself.

"I’ll sleep for a bit."

Ye Xuan yawned and lay down on the spot, starting to cultivate Sleeping Spring and Autumn.

Yun Daoli moved a bit farther and sat down cross-legged, acting as Ye Xuan’s protector.

At this moment.

Across millions of miles from Pengxuan Cave Heaven, at the Earth State Divine Sea, there was a short old man with a young girl in full bloom, watching the grandeur of the sea, enjoying the breeze.

The girl stretched her arms, facing the Divine Sea, closed her eyes, and had an innocent, joyful smile on her face.

She took a deep breath, opened her eyes full of joy, "It’s said that the Earth State Divine Sea is the largest sea in Earth State, and indeed it’s extraordinary."

"It’s wonderful." The short old man beside her chuckled.

The girl lowered her arms, crossing them behind her back.

As the sea breeze blew, her hair fluttered on her forehead, her clothes pressed tight against her, revealing her gradually perfect figure.

That scene was incredibly beautiful.

Sadly, no one appreciated it.

The girl watched the waves rise and fall, sweeping majestically.

The old man’s eyes narrowed to slits, the smile on his face gradually turning cold.

"To die in such a beautiful place, and to die at Fan Grandfather’s hand, this must be what those boring folks at Pengxuan Cave Heaven mean by dying rightly, isn’t it?"

The girl suddenly said with a smile.

Yet, her cheeks were already streaked with tears slipping down.

The girl was none other than Ning Fu.

And the old man was Fan Wanqing, the East Mountain God of Pengxuan Cave Heaven.

Initially, Fan Wanqing’s somber expression transformed into one of complex emotions upon hearing Ning Fu’s words.

However, the next moment, Fan Wanqing’s face was full of ferocity, "You realized it long ago, didn’t you?"

The girl Ning Fu turned to look at the familiar yet foreign Fan Grandfather, still with confusion in her eyes, "I could see it, but I don’t understand, truly don’t understand. Ning Fu has never done anything to betray Fan Grandfather..."

Fan Wanqing spoke coldly, "Indeed, you haven’t done anything to wrong me, but I’m the one who has wronged you—yet I must do this!"

Boom!

Fan Wanqing acted swiftly, aiming to suppress Ning Fu directly.

Rumble————

Yet the next moment, a terrifying power burst forth from Ning Fu, forcing Fan Wanqing to retreat.

At that moment, Ning Fu was wrapped in golden talismans, like the progenitor of a Divine Talisman, she looked at Fan Wanqing, tears still sliding down her face.
