The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 923 - 920: Companions

......

Outside the Dao Chu Ancient Land, at the foot of Dragon Tiger Mountain, Qiankun Ancestor, East Desolate Wolf, Ao Rulong, and Xu Zhengtao were waiting.

Qiankun Ancestor and East Desolate Wolf seemed indifferent, but Ao Rulong and Xu Zhengtao were worried.

"Is it really safe for the young master to go alone to meet the four Heavenly Masters?" Ao Rulong whispered.

He had the reputation of Fist Venerate in Central Earth.

But his title of Fist Venerate paled in comparison to the title of Heavenly Master from Dragon Tiger Mountain.

The four Heavenly Masters were unquestionably the most formidable figures in today’s Central Earth.

Even veteran masters would not dare to challenge their might.

This was the legacy of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

They all knew that Ye Xuan was injured from the previous battle at the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect. If he clashed with the four Heavenly Masters, he might suffer a loss.

This is what worried the two.

"Those four old fellows are indeed formidable, but they can’t do anything to the master," East Desolate Wolf grinned: "Moreover, since the predecessor is here, if those four old guys dare to act recklessly, they are courting death."

Saying this, East Desolate Wolf glanced at Qiankun Ancestor, who was napping nearby.

Ao Rulong and Xu Zhengtao couldn’t help but look at Qiankun Ancestor, curious.

To be honest, they still didn’t know Qiankun Ancestor’s true identity, nor were they clear on his actual strength.

They had never seen Qiankun Ancestor in action.

But judging by East Desolate Wolf’s respect, he must be a terrifyingly strong figure.

"Hey, the young master is descending the mountain." Suddenly, Ao Rulong raised his head to see Ye Xuan descending the mountain mid-way with five others.

Those five were all young.

"Looks like there’s no fight." Xu Zhengtao breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, weren’t those people following the young master the four minor Heavenly Masters and Dragon Tiger Mountain’s most remarkable prodigy, Zhang Jingtong?

Xu Zhengtao was somewhat puzzled.

Ao Rulong hadn’t noticed this; he relaxed seeing Ye Xuan come down the mountain.

Soon, Ye Xuan, along with Zhang Jingtong and the others, arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"Master."

Qiankun Ancestor, who had been napping, was the first to rush up, excited: "Master, you finally came down. If you stayed up there longer, this old servant would’ve gone up and killed those little rascals."

This remark made Ao Rulong and Xu Zhengtao sweat, considering it quite brazen.

"Young Master."

The two did not idle, quickly stepping forward to greet.

"Master," East Desolate Wolf also said respectfully.

Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

"Brother Ye, are they your subordinates?" Luo Jingcheng asked curiously.

"Sort of." Ye Xuan smiled.

"Elder Ao and Elder Xu." Zhou Jingdu bowed to Ao Rulong and Xu Zhengtao.

Zhou Jingdu, as the leader of the four minor Heavenly Masters, had been traversing the world for many years, thus having considerable insight and knowing Ao Rulong and Xu Zhengtao.

"Master Jingdu." Upon seeing Zhou Jingdu, the two returned the salute.

Although Zhou Jingdu was of lower status compared to them, his reputation was well-known; being Dragon Tiger Mountain’s generation’s senior disciple, his future standing at Dragon Tiger Mountain would naturally be extraordinary, deserving of their salute.

Besides, now that he was with the young master, they had to return the salute just for that reason.

"Elder Ao and Elder Xu."

Seeing Zhou Jingdu salute, Wang Jingsi, Lv Jingyun, and Luo Jingcheng followed suit.

However, Zhang Jingtong wasn’t fond of such formalities, so she remained by Ye Xuan’s side.

Ao Rulong and Xu Zhengtao returned the salutes one by one.

Watching the scene, Qiankun Ancestor rolled his eyes repeatedly.

In his words, it was extremely boring and a waste of time!

"Let’s go."

Ye Xuan said softly.

"Young master, is it to the Dao Chu Ancient Land?" Ao Rulong asked.

"Isn’t that stating the obvious?" Qiankun Ancestor rolled his eyes at Ao Rulong.

Ao Rulong instinctively glanced at Zhou Jingdu and others.

Feeling Ao Rulong’s gaze, Zhou Jingdu smiled apologetically and bowed: "For the upcoming period, my siblings and I will be troubling you respected elders."

Ao Rulong was stunned.

Ye Xuan did not feel the need to explain, nor was there any need to, as he led the way ahead.

The four Heavenly Masters had now returned to Dragon Tiger Mountain to oversee things, in case the Spider Emperor’s minions really descended on Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Regarding the four minor Heavenly Masters and Zhang Jingtong, it was natural for them to follow Ye Xuan.

This was something Zhao Yuanxi had repeatedly requested.

If it were others, Ye Xuan might have refused, but with people from Dragon Tiger Mountain, there was cordiality to be extended.

Hence, this journey included five more people.

The Dao Chu Ancient Land was now bustling with several overlords from Central Earth, in large numbers.

Some major forces that had initially evacuated the Dao Chu Ancient Land had returned during these couple of days because they had heard it opened automatically.

If the Dao Chu Ancient Land hadn’t opened, they wouldn’t dare force their way in; with its opening, it hints at great opportunities; if they still miss it, why cultivate at all?

Even Saint Heirs from major powers were called over.

Such as Wind and Thunder Mountain’s Saint Heir Ren Ke, Heavenly Demon Sea’s Demon Young Master, Danxia Sect’s Danxia Holy Daughter, Shaking Light Ancient Sect’s Shaking Light Saint Heir, etc.

This time, the three Fairies of Central Earth, Yao Yueqing, Zhang Jingtong, and Danxia Holy Daughter have all arrived.

A rare gathering indeed.

As their elders say, despite the thousand dangers in the Dao Chu Ancient Land, compared to their Emperor Road, this was merely a minor obstacle in an endless journey.

Each sect’s Saint Heir is certainly bearing the hope of their sect, destined to vie for the position of Great Emperor.

Whether they succeed is another matter; many harbor such hopes.

Upon reaching outside the Dao Chu Ancient Land, they were met with thousands of cultivators gathered there.

Ye Xuan’s group appeared rather solitary.

Other major factions generally comprised hundreds or thousands.

"Ye Xuan."

When Ye Xuan’s group arrived, Yao Yueqing and others from Shaking Light Ancient Sect had already reached the location.

Upon seeing Ye Xuan, Yao Yueqing waved in greeting.

Ye Xuan led the group and flew toward Yao Yueqing.

"Them?" Yao Yueqing was momentarily surprised seeing Zhou Jingdu and others.

"Don’t ask." Ye Xuan said indifferently.

Seeing Ye Xuan’s expression, Yao Yueqing felt a surge of annoyance but snorted and chose silence.

"Is this Ye Xuan Young Master Ye? Pleased to meet you."

At this moment, an extraordinarily handsome young man in white walked over, smilingly greeting Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan glanced at the young man and nodded lightly, acknowledging the greeting.

But this action, perceived by the young man in white, seemed a sort of provocation. His gaze darkened, and he no longer paid attention to Ye Xuan, choosing to bypass him to greet Zhou Jingdu and others.

This young man in white was the newly arrived Shaking Light Saint Heir, sent by Shaking Light Ancient Sect.

However, he hadn’t seemingly gained favor with the Ancient Ancestor, nor received any directives...
