The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1583 - 1580: Leaving

Letting go of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix, Ye Xuan knew that this creature probably wouldn’t follow him anymore.

However, Ye Xuan had already left a contingency on the Nine Netherworld Phoenix.

If the time comes for the Nine Netherworld Phoenix to dare to oppose him, then don’t blame him.

"Let’s go find that thing first."

Ye Xuan said softly.

————

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix left Ye Xuan’s side.

"Ye Xuan, you’re a good person. I hope in the future we stand on the same front."

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix muttered to itself in its heart.

Ever since emerging from the Death Netherworld, it always followed Ye Xuan. From initially opposing him to being saved by Ye Xuan multiple times later, deep down, it’s extremely grateful to Ye Xuan.

But the more grateful it was, the less it could stay by Ye Xuan’s side for long, because it had already realized that Ye Xuan was fundamentally not one of its kind.

Moreover, if it continued to stay by Ye Xuan’s side, it wouldn’t be able to restore its strength to its peak.

It must restore its soul power to the peak; only then could it have the opportunity to return to the Death Netherworld and reclaim its original form.

When Ye Xuan arrived in the Ghost Great World and the Nine Netherworld Phoenix awakened, it saw an opportunity.

That was this Ghost Land!

This Ghost Land could help it restore soul power.

Soon.

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix arrived at a cliff.

It manifested its form.

Though it was merely the manifestation of soul power, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix was still overwhelmingly majestic.

Its cold eyes overlooked the cliff below.

It said coldly, "Come out."

The darkness beneath the cliff unfolded.

With the Nine Netherworld Phoenix’s call, waves of mist arose, accompanied by a surge of yin energy, swirling up gusts of chilling wind.

Moments later, the wind howled fiercely, erupting between the cliffs with ghostly wails and eerie cries.

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix remained unmoved, its gaze even colder: "Where is your physical body?"

"It was destroyed."

A faint, elderly voice croaked hoarsely: "Why are you here?"

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix snorted coldly: "Mind your own business. I need power, and you still owe me a promise. Now is the time to fulfill that promise."

The faint elderly voice did not immediately respond.

Moments later, the elderly voice continued: "My power is also almost depleted, and it took many years of slumber just to awaken."

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix coldly said: "That’s your issue."

The elderly voice replied in irritation: "Then fulfill the promise later."

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix remained aloof: "Since I’m here today, I won’t leave."

The elderly voice sighed longingly, then spoke: "To be honest, years ago I had a chance to reshape my physical body and break free from shackles, only to be thwarted by a monster’s scheme, resulting in failure. Now, upon awakening, I planned to reshape my power with this Ghost Clan’s blood. Since you’re here, I’ll let you have it."

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix refused: "No need. You consume the Ghost Clan, and I will consume their souls."

The elderly voice chuckled: "Sure, once we regain our power, we should return."

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix coldly retorted: "Return? Return where?"

The elderly voice replied: "Home, of course."

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix snorted coldly: "The battle isn’t over yet. Can we return?"

The elderly voice confessed: "Truthfully, I’ve grown weary over the years and merely wish to reclaim my power and rest at home."

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix mocked: "Foolish. If everyone thought like you, when could the king of Dou Tian’s grand endeavor be accomplished?"

"Don’t forget, we swore a godly oath before entering the battle, never to violate it for all eternity!"

These words rendered the elderly voice silent.

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix indifferently said: "Therefore, regardless of your thoughts, wait until after the battle is over. I have a premonition that the continuation of that fight will reignite in this lifetime. Let’s make haste."

"... Okay."

————

"Could this Ghost Land have sensed the presence of the thing I left behind back then?"

Ye Xuan arrived at the valley from his memory but couldn’t find the thing’s location.

This furrowed Ye Xuan’s brow.

It shouldn’t be.

The topography of this place hadn’t changed, so the thing should be here.

Ye Xuan lay on the grass, pondering.

After a while, Ye Xuan sat up and conjured a Daoist Spell with his right hand.

It wasn’t long before little thumb-sized figures came flying across the valley.

"Lord."

Upon seeing Ye Xuan, these figures lined up in the air, offering salutations in an orderly manner.

"Command."

Ye Xuan softly commanded.

These little figures vanished in an instant.

These little creatures were spirits, naturally born from the world, formed between heaven and earth.

The more abundant the spiritual energy in a place, the more easily they are born.

This Ghost Land was incredibly rich in energy, which is why many spirits emerged here.

And in Daoism, there are special techniques to command these mountain and water spirits.

Ye Xuan, naturally, knew them.

Since he couldn’t find it, he’d let the mountain and water spirits of the Ghost Land assist him.

Ye Xuan wanted the Mountain God here to intervene, but if he did, he’d expose himself.

If that resurrected Ghost Land caused him trouble, Ye Xuan wasn’t ready for a direct confrontation.

The time wasn’t right.

After deploying the mountain and water spirits, Ye Xuan did not wander further and instead began cultivating in the valley.

This time, Ye Xuan chose to open his Divine Gate.

Boom!

The long-unopened Divine Gate appeared above Ye Xuan.

The forms of the Tree God and Chaos Ghost Fang emerged.

But soon, another terrifying figure loomed within the Chaos Mist.

That was... the Kui Yuan at the thirteenth level of the Void Divine Realm!

Ye Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, looking up with some confusion.

"Emperor Ye."

Kui Yuan actively greeted.

"Don’t look; it’s my intention."

The Chaos Ghost Fang opened its savage, cold-blooded eyes, staring at Ye Xuan indifferently: "I’ve discussed with the Tree God, willing to mobilize the entire Void Divine Realm’s power to aid you."

The Tree God shook its branches, though silent, it clearly expressed its agreement.

Ye Xuan’s mouth slightly curled: "Thanks."

With that said, Ye Xuan closed his eyes again.

Soon after, numerous formidable Spirits of the Void God Realm appeared in Ye Xuan’s Divine Gate.

These were all Thirteenth Rank Spirits of the Void Divine Realm!

Kui Yuan, Huang Zheng, Huodou, Ba Snake, ...

A dozen Thirteenth Rank Spirits of the Void Realm.

Today, all appeared on one person.

Not far away, a young Supreme of the Three-Eyed Ghost Clan was cultivating. Suddenly sensing terrifying fluctuations, he opened the third eye on his brow, the blood-colored vertical eye facing the distant valley. When he saw the chaos surging and the sky-shattering aura there, the Three-Eyed Ghost Clan couldn’t help but open all its eyes, staring in horror at the scene.

Boom!

But the next moment, the Three-Eyed Ghost Clan suddenly screamed in agony, rolling on the ground.

"My Divine Eye!!"

Upon witnessing things it shouldn’t have, its eye couldn’t bear it and spontaneously burst.
