The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor

The most terrifying thing was, why was this fool of a son-in-law so ruthless? Was this still Ye Xuan?!

They couldn't imagine any of this.

Ye Xuan glanced indifferently at Zhang Tianlin, who was screaming miserably on the ground, and spoke slowly, "I'm not killing you right now, not to keep you here to spout this nonsense to me."

"Say it again, who sent you?"

"Ye Xuan, are you forcing a confession through execution?!" Leng Yifan's complexion darkened as he spoke flatly.

"Feeling guilty now?" Ye Xuan said with a faint smile.

As he spoke, Ye Xuan's right foot gently twisted on the spot.

Zhang Tianlin's face twisted in pain as he sharply inhaled, pleading, "I'll speak, I'll speak! It was all orchestrated by the first senior brother; he ordered me to kill you, promising that after killing you I could join the Xuansheng Peak and even awaken a Fifth Rank Spirit of the Void Divine Realm for me!"

He spoke as rapidly as possible.

As this was revealed, the atmosphere at the scene turned somewhat eerie.

Ye Xuan stopped torturing Zhang Tianlin and looked indifferently at Leng Yifan, speaking unhurriedly, "Conspiring in secret to frame a fellow sect member, especially framing me, a son-in-law of the Emperor Immortal Sect, you tell me, is this crime sufficient to warrant a death penalty?"

Leng Yifan squinted at Ye Xuan, his expression alternating between shade and light.

He had to admit, he had underestimated this guy far too much.

If today's events were to spread, even if his status was exceptional and could spare him from the name of a death penalty, but given the strict rules of the Emperor Immortal Sect, he could not escape imprisonment.

The four great prisons were the most terrifying places in the Emperor Immortal Sect.

For all disciples, these four great prisons were taboo-like existences.

Including Leng Yifan himself!

As the Chief Disciple of the Emperor Immortal Sect, how could Leng Yifan not be aware of all this?

"Ye Xuan, you really are quite different!" Leng Yifan said sternly.

"Is that all?" Ye Xuan said with an almost mocking smile.

Leng Yifan squinted, his face looking somewhat unsightly as he said, "What more do you want?"

Today, he had admitted defeat; his earlier words signified he was bowing down temporarily.

But this Ye Xuan, why couldn't he see what was good for him?!

"You sent someone to kill me, by the reasoning of Ye Xuan, you must die." Ye Xuan said with a light smile, then paused, "However, seeing that you are the Chief Disciple of the Emperor Immortal Sect, I can let go of this matter this time."

"However…"

"An apology is essential, you admit before everyone present that you were wrong to me, 'Son-in-law, I was wrong.' Then I will let you go."

Ye Xuan looked indifferently at Leng Yifan, the corners of his mouth curling into a hint of mockery.

"This?!" At this, the members of the Law Enforcement Team were a bit bewildered.

Was this demanding their senior brother to bow his head?

Knowing that the senior brother, as the leader of the younger generation in the Emperor Immortal Sect, had never bowed to peers, let alone admit wrongdoing before so many people.

Leng Yifan's expression was obscured by a faint cleansing aura, making it hard to decipher.

But beneath the sleeves of his robe, his tightly clenched hands were so tense that his knuckles turned white.

A moment later, after pondering, Leng Yifan slightly bowed towards Ye Xuan and said, "Son-in-law, I was wrong in this matter."

"Louder, didn't you eat?" Ye Xuan cast a glance at Leng Yifan.

Leng Yifan stiffened, almost exploding with rage.

But considering the consequences, he forcibly contained the surge of murderous intent and raised his voice, "Son-in-law, I was wrong in this matter!"

Ye Xuan's mouth corners slightly lifted as he said indifferently, "Scram, there won't be a next time."

Dealing with this kind of guy, not killing him is more interesting than killing him.

Leng Yifan clenched his fists tight, a nearly indescribable sense of humiliation rising in his heart.

He, the chief disciple of the Emperor Immortal Sect, was now apologizing to a widely-known fool, and that too, in full public view!

If word got out, how could he ever hold his head up in the Emperor Immortal Sect again?

But Leng Yifan was also well aware that with Elder Qiu backing Ye Xuan, even if he had absolute strength, he couldn't kill Ye Xuan.

Let this ant jump around for a few more days!

Leng Yifan snorted coldly in his heart and swept away.

The disciples of the Law Enforcement Team looked at each other, but eventually, they came up to Ye Xuan and, with embarrassed faces, took the critically injured and dying Zhang Tianlin away.

This matter, after all, needed a scapegoat.

The crime of beheading naturally fell on Zhang Tianlin's head.

Soon, the ten Law Enforcement Team disciples disappeared from sight with Zhang Tianlin.

And in the open ground outside the Ancestor Temple, Qiu Wenhan appeared unexpectedly.

"Young brother, you really are quite stubborn," Qiu Wenhan said with a wry smile.

"That Leng Yifan's grandfather is a Supreme Elder of the Emperor Immortal Sect, with strength even beyond mine. If Leng Yifan had really made a move, I could only have intervened to protect you, not daring to act excessively against him, otherwise your situation would have been even more worrying."

Ye Xuan laid back, hands behind his head, looking up at the sky with a profound gaze, "Don't worry about that Leng Yifan. Even if that Supreme Elder you mentioned dares to make a move, I can easily suppress him."

Qiu Wenhan was rendered speechless by laughter, and said nothing, assuming Ye Xuan's youthful fierceness was just him not swallowing his pride.

After all, the other party was the chief disciple of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Qiu Wenhan did not know that Ye Xuan indeed had a way to kill Leng Yifan, and also his grandfather.

As for what that method was, only Ye Xuan knew.

Did he really think he came to the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple just to look around?

"Just keep guarding the Ancestor Temple well, I'm going to go back for a meal," Ye Xuan yawned and stepped away.

Qiu Wenhan watched Ye Xuan leave and sighed softly.

After the anomaly at the Ancestor Temple, Qiu Wenhan had treated Ye Xuan as a person with extraordinary potential, but Ye Xuan's confrontation with Leng Yifan was somewhat unexpected.

Although the incident fell on Leng Yifan, Qiu Wenhan wouldn't say much about it.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes of strife. Within the vast Emperor Immortal Sect, with hundreds of thousands of people, how could a single set of Sect rules maintain control? There was always going to be conflict.

He just hoped these young ones would stand up and lead the Emperor Immortal Sect back to its glory days.

Ye Xuan left the Ancestor Temple alone, having already observed the statue of the Lie Tian Great Emperor, and from the conversations with Qiu Wenhan, he learned about the current situation in the world.

Ye Xuan also had his own thoughts.

"Those two traitors previously tried to seize my Emperor Soul, only to fail and instead caused my Emperor Soul to sleep for ninety-thousand years, returning to its true body."

"During these ninety-thousand years, those two traitors also tried to move against the forces created by disciples I taught, still to no avail, ultimately setting their sights on my undying Monster Body from ninety-thousand years ago."

Guessing such an outcome, Ye Xuan silently chuckled.

"Changxi, Mu Yun, as a teacher, even the master who presides over burials can't summon that Monster Body back. Just the two of you traitors trying to mess with that body is simply a fool's errand."

"Now that nature's spiritual energy is depleted, you two must no longer exist in this realm…"

"No hurry. When I return to my peak, it will be time for you two to kneel and repent."

Ye Xuan hurried along, his thoughts whirling rapidly in his mind, and before he knew it, he was back at Emperor Peak.
