The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1646 - 1643: Probing

Ye Xuan’s expression was calm, but his gaze was incomparably cold. He asked coldly, "Who’s backing you and Mu Yun?"

Empress Changxi came to her senses and looked at Ye Xuan, calmly saying, "Whom does Emperor Ye hope to be supported by?"

Ye Xuan said nothing, looking coldly at Empress Changxi.

Empress Changxi then smiled suddenly and said softly, "Emperor Ye hasn’t changed at all."

Ye Xuan stiffly replied, "But you’ve changed."

Empress Changxi shook her head and said, "I haven’t lived as long as Emperor Ye has, so some things are always beyond my understanding. But..."

"Once I get a clear grasp of Emperor Ye’s former body, maybe then I’ll understand how you felt back then."

Empress Changxi smiled slightly, her tone light, as if conversing intimately with Ye Xuan. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Hearing this, Ye Xuan’s intent to kill deepened.

He slowly closed his eyes and exhaled a murky breath, speaking sincerely, "Changxi, for old times’ sake, I advise you and Mu Yun not to tamper with that body of mine; some consequences..."

"Are beyond what you can bear."

That undying and immortal body symbolizes something that even some ancient giants hidden in time can vaguely guess at, which it represents taboo!

Emperor Burial Lord.

This title represents something that those beings understand.

Only the foolish duo, Changxi and Mu Yun, think that by reaching the peak, they can touch such a taboo; it’s simply reckless.

Ye Xuan’s words were both a reminder and a warning to these two traitors.

Empress Changxi blinked her beautiful eyes, staring at Ye Xuan, and said, "Can Emperor Ye brother share his reasoning?"

Ye Xuan opened his eyes, gazed at Empress Changxi, and said indifferently, "I can."

Empress Changxi smiled slightly and said, "I’m all ears."

Ye Xuan extended his hand, saying faintly, "Return the body first."

Empress Changxi shook her head slightly and said, "Even if it’s to return it, it requires some time; it’s impossible right now."

Ye Xuan said faintly, "Do you think I’m joking with you?"

Empress Changxi continued to shake her head, "Since Emperor Ye brother is unwilling to say more, there’s nothing more to discuss."

Empress Changxi restrained her smile, looking at Ye Xuan.

At this moment, Empress Changxi seemed incomparably majestic, overlooking the multitude as if they were ants, a terrifying sense of controlling all things suddenly arose.

Ye Xuan calmly watched Empress Changxi without speaking.

This conversation was unexpected, as for whether Empress Changxi would make a move?

That remains unknown.

Ye Xuan could be sure that Empress Changxi had a strong desire to act, wanting to eliminate him.

However, achieving that was impossible.

The existence of Heavenly Dao Suppression was ultimately because the Double Emperors reached the absolute peak, causing spiritual energy across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds to deplete, thus giving rise to Heavenly Dao Suppression.

Therefore, Heavenly Dao Suppression targets the Double Emperors the most.

Rumble!

Between heaven and earth, a vibration arose.

The boundless Heavenly Domain Gate slowly closed at that moment.

The imprisoned time and space slowly unsealed at this moment.

The crowd, still immersed in the terrifying anomaly of the Heavenly Domain Gate earlier, now came to their senses and found the gate shrinking again, all breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought there was an invincible power about to emerge from the Heavenly Domain Gate; turns out not."

Qingming Chunhai’s expression was complex.

Though he’s now submissive, inwardly he still hopes for the powers of the Heavenly Domain Double Emperors to arrive, rescuing them once.

For now it appears, it’s merely wishful thinking.

They didn’t know that Empress Changxi was right behind that Heavenly Domain Gate, having just conversed with Ye Xuan.

At this moment she was still there, exchanging glances across the void with Ye Xuan.

Neither spoke.

The Heavenly Domain Gate slowly dissipated.

Ye Xuan turned away, leaving Empress Changxi with his back.

Empress Changxi ultimately did not make a move, because she understood it was merely futile.

At the last moment, Empress Changxi spoke again, "Next time we meet, Xiao Xi will kill Emperor Ye brother, so please don’t mind..."

Ye Xuan paused, without turning back.

He laughed self-deprecatingly.

Today’s encounter, though unexpected, nonetheless provided him with an answer.

The betrayal of the past wasn’t elaborate.

It’s simply betrayal.

Regardless of who stands behind Empress Changxi and Emperor Mu, it’s no longer important.

"So where did it go wrong?"

Ye Xuan recalled the past, trying to find the issue from some old details.

Yet as usual, he found nothing amiss.

The betrayal seemed almost like the spur-of-the-moment whim of those two traitors.

There was something eerie everywhere.

"How is it?"

Ye Xuan gathered his thoughts, asking softly.

"Ye Xuan, I can confirm, this woman hasn’t contacted anyone from my realm."

The voice of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix sounded in Ye Xuan’s ears.

Before pushing Empress Changxi to reveal the Emperor’s Shadow, Ye Xuan had notified the Nine Netherworld Phoenix to watch over Changxi, to see if any clues could be found.

The result was clear; neither the manifestation of the Emperor’s Shadow nor Empress Changxi’s appearance behind the Heavenly Domain Gate allowed the Nine Netherworld Phoenix to detect anything.

Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Could the one connecting with Changxi be hiding their presence?"

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix laughed at Ye Xuan’s words, "That’s quite insulting to me. My realm’s strong ones possess Origin Power, capable of mutual sensing. Should this woman have interacted with anyone from my realm, traces would remain, detectable even after a million years."

"Unless it happened more than a million years ago, there’s nothing I could do then."

With that, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix withdrew its awareness back to the Jiuyou Netherworld, saying no more.

Ye Xuan pondered the Nine Netherworld Phoenix’s words. If its words are credible, it shows the people behind Changxi and Mu Yun aren’t from the Exotic Realm.

But if the Nine Netherworld Phoenix harbored ulterior motives and said this deliberately, it would mislead Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan wouldn’t wholly believe the Nine Netherworld Phoenix’s words, so he had a fallback plan.

"Bai Ze, did the Nine Netherworld Phoenix lie just now?"

Ye Xuan mentally inquired.

"No," Bai Ze’s gentle voice resonated within Ye Xuan’s mind.

Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, a cold gleam flashing.

Since they’re not Exotic Realm individuals, then there’s only one possibility.

They come from All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds!

Ye Xuan’s mind kept flashing through ancient giants who have shared enmities with him.

Yet none fit.

"No, maybe they’re hidden too deeply."

Ye Xuan grinned, but since they’ve decided to game with Ye Xuan, let’s have some fun.

Just hope they don’t die too quickly.

"Emperor Ye!"

At this point, Yun Daoli and others swiftly descended beside Ye Xuan, their expressions somewhat tense.

That recent situation was genuinely frightening.

Luckily, nothing happened.

The city lord and others from the Jiuyou Netherworld also gathered around.

Ye Xuan waved his hand, indicating that everything was alright.
