The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1592 - 1589: The Gray-Robed Woman

"Let’s go."

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix, after having a quick meal, left behind two words and flew away into the sky.

Ye Xuan did not watch the Nine Netherworld Phoenix depart; instead, he fell into contemplation.

The reason he didn’t stop the Nine Netherworld Phoenix from killing those people was, firstly, Ye Xuan didn’t have any sympathy for them, and secondly, he wanted to see whether the Nine Netherworld Phoenix had allied with the Ghost Land.

And the facts just now have proven that the Nine Netherworld Phoenix has indeed joined forces with the Ghost Land.

Those blood flew towards the eerie cliff.

This was very similar to the layout of the Ghost Land back then.

The Ghost Land wants to drain the blood of the Ghost Clan!

And now, with the Nine Netherworld Phoenix added, it wants to devour the souls of the Ghost Clan!

"Whimpering..."

At this moment, Ye Xuan’s thoughts were interrupted by crying.

Ye Xuan didn’t need to look to know it was Qingming Yurou crying.

"Why?"

Qingming Yurou covered her face, crying.

Her fellow disciples all died before her eyes.

Yet, she was powerless.

Ye Xuan glanced from afar, gulped down his drink, not intending to comfort.

If she cannot even withstand this, her future path would not be long, better to abandon all cultivation, live for decades in the mortal world, and then, enter reincarnation, forgetting everything.

"Why?!"

"You clearly could have saved them, why didn’t you?"

Qingming Yurou raised her head, her face full of tears, yet her eyes were exceedingly cold at this moment. She stared intently at Ye Xuan, loudly questioning.

"Why should I save them?"

Ye Xuan put down the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd and smiled indifferently.

Qingming Yurou gave a bitter smile, her eyes filled with pain: "Indeed, why should you save them? Come to think of it, my life was initially saved by you, so why did you save me? Why not let me die with them."

"You are a strong person, you have the power, you can coldly overlook all this unfolding, but you saved me, yet I won’t be grateful to you, in the future, I will give you trouble someday!"

"So, kill me!"

Qingming Yurou stared intently at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan stood up, took a step, instantly appearing before Qingming Yurou, then delivered a fierce knee strike to her abdomen, sending her flying onto the ground, vomiting profusely.

Ye Xuan said coldly: "If you want to die, it’s simple. After I have used up your value, you can die at any time."

Upon hearing this, Qingming Yurou was shocked, staring intently at Ye Xuan, struggling to ask: "What do you want to do?"

Ye Xuan didn’t respond to Qingming Yurou but instead turned to leave.

Qingming Yurou then found her body uncontrollably floating up, hovering behind Ye Xuan.

No matter how Qingming Yurou struggled, she couldn’t break free.

......

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix returned to the eerie cliff.

"Didn’t see the person you mentioned."

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix said straightforwardly.

An aged voice emerged: "It was definitely that guy’s aura, it must have changed positions when you were approaching, it must still be among the Ghost Land, you must be careful!"

"That guy is quite troublesome, only second to the Female Ghost God I encountered back then."

"Female Ghost God?" The Nine Netherworld Phoenix frowned slightly: "Who is that again?"

The aged voice tersely said: "It’s from a long, long time ago, when I just arrived at this place, I encountered a terrifying presence."

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix said blandly: "You’ve certainly had a turbulent journey."

The aged voice replied calmly: "Naturally not like you, as you were directly imprisoned and suppressed."

Nine Netherworld Phoenix: "Ha!"

After a bout of sarcasm, they ultimately decided to address it seriously.

However, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix was completely unaware that the monster feared by the Ghost Land was actually Ye Xuan!

————

Boundless darkness enveloped.

Occasionally, ancient bells tolled.

Accompanied by the sound of wind chimes, ding ding dong dong, very pleasing.

On closer inspection, it turned out to be a black willow tree, and on its branches, ancient bells, wind chimes, and Immortal Drums were tied.

The breeze blew, resulting in bells, wind chimes, and drum sounds.

Apart from the oppressive scene of boundless darkness, this place turned out to be incredibly comforting.

Underneath that gigantic, dark old willow tree sat a woman in a gray robe.

The woman sat cross-legged, her hair in disarray, motionless, like a stone sculpture.

"There’s turmoil in the Ghost Great World, aren’t you planning to go back once?"

A hoarse voice slowly sounded.

If Ye Xuan were here, he would immediately recognize the owner of this voice.

Old Ghost Liu Tree!

This towering, ink-dark old willow tree was precisely Old Ghost Liu Tree.

So this place...

Was one of the most terrifying Forbidden Lands in the world.

Netherworld Ancient Land!

Rumor has it that the Netherworld Ancient Land exists within the Ghost Great World.

But this rumor has never been confirmed.

After all, such Forbidden Lands, even Great Saint Level beings, dare not trespass.

Currently, after Old Ghost Liu Tree spoke, the gray-robed woman sitting under the willow tree moved slightly.

She lightly shook her head.

"That Ghost Land has reawakened."

Old Ghost Liu Tree’s voice was extremely slow, deep, and hoarse.

The originally motionless gray-robed woman visibly trembled.

Thereafter, she slowly lifted her head, revealing an angelic countenance.

Her brows, like blades, were sharp.

Her beautiful eyes, like water, gentle and captivating.

Her high nose, alluring lips.

A few strands of hair floated before her, adding flair.

But then again, she bowed her head, her voice crisp and pleasant yet unable to conceal her gloom: "Someone will deal with it."

Old Ghost Liu Tree said hoarsely: "The person who helped you last time no longer has the power and won’t handle this matter."

"You need to go once."

The gray-robed woman fell silent upon hearing this.

After a long pause, the gray-robed woman said: "The Heavenly Dao Suppression still exists, my going there will be pointless."

Old Ghost Liu Tree spoke no more.

The gray-robed woman altered her posture to kneel, her forehead touching the ground, softly saying: "Please, Master, show the way."

An Old Ghost Liu Tree branch lightly swept through the darkness, revealing a scene.

The gray-robed woman looked up.

In that scene, a young man in a black robe appeared.

The young man had a Sword Nurturing Gourd hanging at his waist and a black wooden stick.

The youth’s appearance was handsome, with an indescribable aura.

Especially those black eyes, carrying a unique attraction, drawing people deeply in.

But the gray-robed woman didn’t look at the youth; instead, she focused intently on the black stick at the youth’s waist.

"Ghost Beating Stick, why was it taken by the Human Clan?"

The gray-robed woman murmured, seemingly incredulous.

Old Ghost Liu Tree said hoarsely: "He is the person who helped you with the Ghost Land years ago. Go, find him, assist him."

The gray-robed woman was extremely surprised.

But ultimately, she chose to nod.

Simultaneously, the youth within the scene seemed to sense something, turning to look at the empty void.

The two aligned their gaze across the void.

"An illusion then..."

Within the Ghost Land, Ye Xuan, heading back, withdrew his gaze, softly murmuring.
