The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor

"Chi Yan, willing to serve Emperor Ye as lord!"

At this moment, Chi Yan Ancient God suddenly knelt on one knee, shouting aloud.

"Chi Yan!?"

Chi Yan Ancient God's action immediately changed the expressions of the other ancient gods.

They did not expect that the Chi Yan Ancient God, who had always been watching, would choose to submit directly at this moment.

Moreover, to submit in such a manner, was completely beyond their expectations.

When they were suppressed by Ye Xuan back then, although they all chose to back off, it was to avoid direct confrontation, not submitting as a follower.

This time, Chi Yan Ancient God's action was clearly not just about backing down, but about serving Ye Xuan as master.

"Chi Yan, what are you doing!?" Jin Kui Ancient God couldn't help but ask.

Chi Yan Ancient God ignored the others, looked up at Ye Xuan, and said earnestly, "Emperor Ye, from now on, Chi Yan will be your subordinate. Should you have any orders, Chi Yan will do his utmost to fulfill them for you!"

As soon as this was said, the expressions of the few changed completely.

Ye Xuan looked at Chi Yan Ancient God, eyes calm, and nodded slightly, "Alright."

Their faces changed dramatically.

"Kuang Lei, also willing to serve Emperor Ye as lord!"

At this moment, the Kuang Lei Ancient God, who had already transformed to the size of a normal person, also knelt on one knee with absolute resolve and said in a deep voice.

"Kuang Lei, why even you!?"

Jin Kui Ancient God's face was extremely ugly.

Hun Tu Ancient God stared intently at the old ghost willow in Ye Xuan's hand, his face changing for a moment, and ultimately with reluctance, he slowly knelt down and said, "Hun Tu is willing to serve Emperor Ye as lord."

Boom!

Boom!

After Hun Tu Ancient God spoke, the Yi Shui Ancient God and the Ancient Spirit Tree God also knelt toward Ye Xuan one after another.

In the end, only the Jin Kui Ancient God remained.

The Jin Kui Ancient God's face was pale; glancing at Ye Xuan, he bit his teeth and ultimately chose to lower his head and kneel.

At this moment, the six ancient gods all chose to submit and serve.

That scene left Yao Yueqing and Little Array Emperor stunned.

Even the Qiankun Ancestor looked utterly shocked.

He never thought that these proud ancient gods would choose to kneel and bow their heads to the master.

Inconceivable.

Qiankun Ancestor squinted his eyes, silently contemplating.

He could faintly sense, changes have been subtly occurring in the Dao Chu Ancient Land, affecting the ten critical passes.

From the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Land, to the Lantern Sea, Empty Ancient City, Crow Grave, Futian Ridge, and now the Divine's Nest.

In the shadows, something significant seemed to be happening.

These significant events prompted these ancient gods to make difficult choices.

Just as Hun Tu Ancient God had previously said, Ye Xuan could help them achieve their goals.

It was only due to some underhanded scheming that led Ye Xuan to act against Kuang Lei Ancient God, breaking that scheme.

And after Ye Xuan brought out the old ghost willow, these ancient gods felt the threat of death, so they ultimately made such a decision.

Undoubtedly, there's significant correlation here.

Perhaps, indeed, the heavens are about to change.

The sudden submission of the six ancient gods explained many things.

"Master?"

Qiankun Ancestor sensed Ye Xuan's gaze and responded.

"First take them to the Bronze Palace." Ye Xuan said calmly.

"Understood!" Qiankun Ancestor immediately understood, knowing Ye Xuan still had matters to handle, he accepted the order respectfully.

"Brother Xuan, aren't you coming with us?" Little Array Emperor asked urgently.

"You go ahead to the Bronze Palace and wait for me." Ye Xuan said softly.

"Be careful." Yao Yueqing did not waste words, said one sentence, and followed Qiankun Ancestor to leave.

"Brother Xuan, waiting for you!" Little Array Emperor originally wanted to make a long speech, but seeing Yao Yueqing not wasting words, he could only shut his mouth and follow along.

This time, the three left without any obstruction.

Soon, Qiankun Ancestor and the three left for the Bronze Palace.

The Bronze Palace is the seventh critical pass among the ten critical areas.

The Bronze Palace is next to the Divine's Nest; once outside the Divine's Nest, you can reach it.

Although the Divine's Nest is also vast, it is far less expansive than the Futian Ridge, and using divine power to fly, one could cross it in just a day.

Now that the six ancient gods have already submitted to Ye Xuan, they naturally no longer needed to reserve their divine power and directly chose Sky-controlling Flight.

However, due to the previous battle, Little Array Emperor and Yao Yueqing's divine power was running low, so only Qiankun Ancestor could carry the two forward.

Qiankun Ancestor's strength was originally terrifying, and the divine power he possessed was incomparable to Little Array Emperor and Yao Yueqing.

Carrying the two, Qiankun Ancestor's speed was not affected.

"Old chap, what do you think Brother Xuan did, why would those few ancient gods suddenly kneel before Brother Xuan?"

On the way, Little Array Emperor couldn't help but ask.

However, upon saying this, Little Array Emperor felt a deep malevolence.

Then, Little Array Emperor felt himself being released, plummeting to the ground.

"Ah————"

Little Array Emperor instantly screamed in surprise.

Qiankun Ancestor caught Little Array Emperor, unhurriedly saying, "Do you know how to address me next time?"

"Old senior, old senior, don't mess with me, I'm timid." Little Array Emperor's face went pale.

Qiankun Ancestor said with a smile, "Didn't you say you were bold earlier, how come you're admitting to being timid now?"

Little Array Emperor's mouth twitched, damn, slipped up!

"On serious matters, what exactly did Brother Xuan just do?" Little Array Emperor changed the subject.

Yao Yueqing also perked up her ears, eager to hear Qiankun Ancestor's response.

What just happened indeed took them by surprise.

"I don't know." Qiankun Ancestor shook his head in response.

"You don't know?" Little Array Emperor said incredulously, "I don't believe you, rotten old man, you're really bad."

"Hmm?" Qiankun Ancestor looked at Little Array Emperor.

Little Array Emperor immediately felt terrified, hurriedly smiling, "Just joking, just joking; old senior, if you say you don't know, then surely you really don't."

Qiankun Ancestor said nothing more.

Of course, he understood why the six ancient gods submitted. Besides because of master's displayed strength, it was also because they had demands from master, and more so because in master's hand, lies the trump card that could effortlessly eliminate them!

This is why the six ancient gods suddenly yielded.

But, naturally, he wouldn't share this with Little Array Emperor and Yao Yueqing.

He clearly knew what should and shouldn't be said.

Especially after the incident at White Bamboo Mountain, Qiankun Ancestor understood this principle even better.

————

After Qiankun Ancestor and the three walked away, Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze, landed onto Chi Yan Ancient God, and said softly, "You are quite smart."

Chi Yan Ancient God smiled faintly.

The expressions of the other five ancient gods were somewhat complex.

Ye Xuan glanced at everyone, spoke deliberately, "Submission isn't just a word; I know what you desire, but I also have something I desire in the Divine's Nest."

"At Emperor Ye's command." Hun Tu Ancient God learned quickly, and spoke first.

Ye Xuan retrieved the Saint Paper and the Soul Box, shaking the old ghost willow in his right hand.

As Ye Xuan shook the old ghost willow, the expressions of the six ancient gods changed dramatically, as if Ye Xuan was about to strike them with this object.

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes, unhurriedly and spoke, "Before that, I ask you something, do you all recognize this item?"

Ye Xuan waved the old ghost willow in his hand.

In Ye Xuan's knowledge, the power of the old ghost willow surpasses that of the Empty Ancient City.

Correspondingly, it also surpasses the Divine's Nest.

That's why he brought it out to deal with these six ancient gods.

However, their reactions seemed a bit over the top.

Especially the aspect of submission...

Even considering that he could help them, they wouldn't have so readily lowered their proud heads.

Because, he understood these ancient gods very well.

"Recognize it!" Hun Tu Ancient God nodded without hesitation.

The other ancient gods also nodded one after another.

Ye Xuan's eyes flickered with a sharp light.

As expected, the entire Dao Chu Ancient Land, whether related to the old ghost willow or the Emperor Burial Lord, has some unknown connection.

Rumble————

At this moment, chaotic Qi suddenly rolled wildly above the sky.

Under the entanglement of the chaotic Qi, a Dharma form gradually formed.

It was an old man, sitting cross-legged high above the sky, with eyebrows and a beard drooping over his chest.

The moment this old man appeared, the six ancient gods immediately became solemn, and together they bowed, "Greetings to the Chaos Ancient God."
