The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1548 - 1545: Gatekeeper

"They are everywhere."

Ye Xuan’s words filled Qiao Xinyu’s eyes with brilliance.

She joined the Revenge Lineage very late, and at first, her understanding of it was limited to the Black Blade Sect.

About the other factions of the Revenge Lineage, she only learned from Tong Wuji and Qin Qi.

But the more she understood, the more she realized the power of the Revenge Lineage.

It even gave Qiao Xinyu a feeling that the forces of the Double Emperors seem far inferior to the Revenge Lineage.

One must know that every Great Emperor in the world stands at the peak of the era.

This point, born in the Southern Dipper Ancient Country and practiced in the Immortal Crossing Sect, Qiao Xinyu is naturally very clear.

But even so, such thoughts persistently arise in Qiao Xinyu’s mind, which is the most terrifying.

The three continued forward.

As they continued to progress, that aura grew increasingly strong, forcing Qiao Xinyu to operate her Cultivation Technique to withstand the terrifying power.

The void beside Yun Daoli was also continuously twisting, evidently resisting that force.

Among the three, it was Ye Xuan, with the weakest realm, who remained unaffected.

Or perhaps, the power of the Taoist Body was so abnormal that it wasn’t invaded at all.

In front, the land was filled with towering peaks, resembling Divine Swords hanging from the Ancient Heavenly Court.

Dangerous peaks and unique sights were too numerous to count.

But entering here left no time to appreciate these; instead, they constantly focused on resisting the suppression of that force.

The blue sun from the sky dome cast eerie blue light, covering this eerie land, appearing very strange.

Not a trace of life seemed visible here, and the three didn’t encounter any people along the way.

Not to mention people, they didn’t even see a ghost.

After flying another half-incense stick time into the stone forest of peaks, they saw an Ancient Giant Mountain ahead, towering into the clouds, its true form unseen.

"We’ve arrived."

Ye Xuan halted slowly and spoke softly.

"Is this the real ghost land?"

Gazing upon the Ancient Giant Mountain, Qiao Xinyu felt shaken.

The sense of oppression was too strong, as if facing an Invincible Great Sage, or a Great Saint-level unmatched giant!

"No, this is just the entrance to the ghost land; the real ghost land is beyond this mountain."

Ye Xuan spoke calmly.

"What?! This is just the entrance?"

Qiao Xinyu couldn’t hide her surprise: "Emperor Ye, is this ghost land on the same level as the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions?"

It wasn’t strange for Qiao Xinyu to ask this; mainly, the ghost land’s oppression was too strong for her.

Even more astonishing than the Death Netherworld she had visited.

"Not quite," Ye Xuan shook his head: "The reason you think this way is because when you went to the Death Netherworld, it was just about to open, and its power hadn’t displayed even one-tenth."

Only then did Qiao Xinyu understand.

It seemed she had underestimated the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions.

"Are we going in?" Yun Daoli looked at Ye Xuan and asked.

Ye Xuan gazed at the Ancient Giant Mountain, paused, and said: "You two wait here, I will go alone."

"Emperor Ye..."

Yun Daoli was slightly surprised.

"Don’t worry, the Heavenly Dao Suppression is still here." Ye Xuan knew the worry in Yun Daoli’s heart.

"Understood," Yun Daoli didn’t say more.

Thus, Yun Daoli and Qiao Xinyu waited outside the Ancient Giant Mountain, while Ye Xuan flew alone towards the ghost land.

"Has senior entered the ghost land?"

Remaining in place, Qiao Xinyu asked softly.

Yun Daoli slightly shook his head and slowly said: "It’s not part of my task, besides... the ghost land isn’t for ordinary people to enter."

"To my knowledge, even the great ghost clan heads of the Ghost Great World are somewhat fearful of the ghost land, as if there’s something dangerous within."

Qiao Xinyu listened and nodded thoughtfully.

On the other side, Ye Xuan had already descended to the mountain top of the Ancient Giant Mountain.

Bathing in clouds and mist.

The World Laws of the Ghost Great World were peculiar, including the clouds, which were black-gray, making one feel suppressed.

Here, divine sense perception was blocked, making it impossible to find one’s direction.

Ye Xuan, immersed in this, stopped moving recklessly and closed his eyes, quietly waiting for something.

Moments later, Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

The black-gray clouds rapidly dissipated, accompanied by the cry of a crow.

Ye Xuan appeared in a dark world.

However, in the sky, a pair of strange crimson yellow eyes appeared out of thin air, shrouded in coldness, gazing down at Ye Xuan.

Seeing those eyes, Ye Xuan was not surprised.

This was the entrance to the ghost land, and the owner of these eyes was the ’gatekeeper’ of the ghost land.

Only by passing the gatekeeper’s test can one enter the ghost land.

However, Ye Xuan could no longer pass the test.

Because Ye Xuan had once passed the test, then entered the ghost land and schemed against it, causing great anger in the ghost land.

At that time, Ye Xuan had already left, so the ghost land vented its wrath on the ’gatekeeper.’

Since then, the ’gatekeeper’ chose to shut the door whenever seeing Ye Xuan, forbidding entry.

Clearly, the ghost land had issued a death order, not allowing Ye Xuan to enter.

Yet, seeing Ye Xuan now, the ’gatekeeper’ evidently didn’t recognize him, and a cold voice echoed from all directions: "The ghost land is not yet open, retreat quickly."

"May I ask when the ghost land opens, and what are the requirements?"

Ye Xuan faked politeness and asked courteously.

"One month later, those below the Great Sage Realm can enter."

"Thank you." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Ye Xuan bowed and retreated.

The crimson yellow eyes stared intently at Ye Xuan, chillingly saying: "Wait."

Ye Xuan halted, looking puzzled: "Does senior have further questions?"

The crimson yellow eyes assessed Ye Xuan momentarily and then spoke: "You are not of the ghost clan?"

Ye Xuan was surprised: "Can’t one enter if they’re not from the ghost clan?"

The voice did not reappear, and the eyes gradually dissipated.

Ye Xuan turned and left, his lips forming a slight smile.

Such tricks.

Soon, Ye Xuan’s figure vanished in the darkness, reappearing at the foot of the Ancient Giant Mountain.

Upon Ye Xuan’s departure, the disappeared crimson yellow eyes resurfaced with a hint of confusion.

It ’saw’ a subtle familiar aura on Ye Xuan but couldn’t recall it, deciding to give extra attention during subsequent tests.

"Forget it, when the ghost land opens, I’ll focus on him during the test."

————

Ye Xuan had already anticipated the ’gatekeeper’s’ subsequent thoughts.

This guy might notice some signs but definitely won’t discover him, merely adding challenges in future tests.

Yet, no matter how troublesome, it’s just that, Ye Xuan had been there before.

Knowing the exact news of the ghost land’s awakening, Ye Xuan didn’t linger, and rejoined Yun Daoli and Qiao Xinyu, heading towards Ghost Dragon City.

Ghost Dragon City is where Yun Daoli and Bai Zhiyu usually meet.

At the same time, Ghost Dragon City is a renowned heroic city within the Ghost Great World.

The entire city is actually a living ghost dragon, suppressed by the ghost clan heads with great means, forming this ancient-renowned heroic city.
