The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1732 - 1729: The Great Emperor Immortal Sect in the Sea Abyss
The sudden crisis startled everyone.
"Fool."
Qiankun Ancestor cursed.
He wasn’t cursing the sea beast, but rather a follower of Emperor Chi Mei.
The master had explained everything clearly just now, yet this fool was still greedy, wanting to take everything.
That was what startled this giant sea beast.
"Senior, I didn’t mean to." The follower, a woman, was pale with fear.
Emperor Chi Mei said sternly, "Quickly put all the treasures back!"
The woman was pale, unwilling to give up what she had obtained, and said, "This sea beast’s strength seems to be at the Great Sage Realm, if we join forces, we should be able to take it down. That way, we could take all the treasures here, couldn’t we?"
The others also brightened at the thought, finding the idea feasible.
As it stands, Du Qiuzhe and Emperor Chi Mei are both at the Great Sage Realm.
And Qiankun Ancestor’s strength is even more unfathomable.
Ye Xuan is the same way.
With just these four holding the line, they felt quite reassured.
"The rules of the Endless Sea are not for you to set."
Ye Xuan said indifferently, then continued, "Little Qiankun, throw her out."
"Got it!"
Qiankun Ancestor grinned.
"What?!"
The woman was instantly horrified, quickly turning to Emperor Chi Mei, saying, "Emperor, I’ll return everything right away, please don’t throw me out."
Emperor Chi Mei’s face darkened, but he didn’t speak.
"Ye Xuan..."
Zhang Jingtong and Ning Fu hesitated to speak.
Ye Xuan softly said, "You both can see some things, so I probably don’t need to explain further."
Zhang Jingtong and Ning Fu both sighed, saying nothing.
Actually, what Ye Xuan had just said was a warning that this was a taboo of the Endless Sea. Violating it would only lead to death.
Since the woman had taken more treasures, she had incurred a cause and violated the taboo. Even if Ye Xuan hadn’t instructed Qiankun Ancestor to act, she would still die, potentially implicating everyone else as well.
"Emperor!"
The woman was panicking when she saw Emperor Chi Mei unmoved.
"Emperor, she didn’t mean any harm, please save her." Other followers also pleaded.
Emperor Chi Mei’s face looked even worse.
He wasn’t naive; Ye Xuan’s actions made the situation clear.
It’s not that they didn’t want to save her, it’s that they couldn’t!
Qiankun Ancestor didn’t care about others’ concerns, reaching out with one hand to grab the woman and tossing her towards the terrifying sea beast.
Bang!
The next moment, the sea beast suddenly opened its maw, unleashing a terrifying devouring power that swirled the seawater into a vortex, sucking the woman in.
"No!"
The woman was also a strong cultivator at the Great Venerate Realm, struggling desperately, but before the sea beast of millions of years, she was like an ant, unable to resist.
Everyone watched the scene unfold, powerless, as their previously jubilant mood grew unbearably heavy.
After swallowing the woman, the sea beast no longer pointed its attention towards Ye Xuan and the others, lazily swimming along.
But after witnessing what just happened, everyone already understood that this seemingly peaceful sea beast could be terrifyingly fierce!
"If any of you still act recklessly and ignore my master’s warning, I won’t even need the sea beasts to act; I’ll take care of you with one punch each."
Qiankun Ancestor said with a chuckle, with no trace of threat in his tone.
Yet everyone felt chilled to the bone.
This old fellow seemed like a kindly grandpa, but in action, he was absolutely ruthless.
For the rest of the journey, even when there were many treasures in sight, no one dared to take them haphazardly.
Along the way, Emperor Chi Mei approached Ye Xuan, apologizing: "Senior, it was my lack of guidance that caused you trouble."
Ye Xuan shook his head slightly, saying, "This matter has nothing to do with you; it’s just that she was too greedy. It’s no wonder she couldn’t enter the Great Sage Realm; her early death and reincarnation might be a good thing, considering her limited life."
Emperor Chi Mei was left speechless.
No more words were exchanged along the way, except for Ning Fu and Zhang Jingtong, who occasionally chatted with Ye Xuan.
The two still felt uneasy about the incident, but they were not overly naive people; they understood that no one could be blamed for such things.
"We’re here."
Ye Xuan stopped, looking at the building ahead that resembled a Dragon Palace.
"Is this..."
Everyone was taken aback by the magnificent sight, eyes widening in disbelief.
It seemed as though a real Dragon Palace lay before them.
But the massive plaque outside the palace told them it was no Dragon Palace, but rather an ancient palace group that had sunk here!
"Ice Spirit Sect?!"
"Is it the legendary Ice Spirit Sect from the ancient years?!"
Seeing the Dragon Palace-like structures, Emperor Chi Mei exclaimed in astonishment.
This was deeply moving.
Ice Spirit Sect!
In ancient times, it was a renowned Great Emperor Immortal Sect on the Divine Continent, yet this Immortal Sect disappeared overnight, shrouded in historical mystery.
Some said the Ice Spirit Sect had hidden itself, emulating the Longevity Family.
It was beyond belief that it would appear here!
Emperor Chi Mei suddenly recalled what Ye Xuan mentioned upon entering the Sea Abyss.
The Endless Sea had swallowed no less than ten Great Emperor Immortal Sects.
By that logic...
The Ice Spirit Sect was one of them.
Ye Xuan observed the Ice Spirit Sect, his expression calm.
In the past, he had witnessed the Ice Spirit Sect being swallowed.
And at that time, the founder of the Ice Spirit Sect, the Ice Spirit Empress, was also among them!
But the Ice Spirit Empress didn’t appear, disappearing along with the Ice Spirit Sect.
The terrifying nature of the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions was evident.
The last time he was here, he didn’t see the Ice Spirit Sect; entering the depths of the Sea Abyss, what he saw appeared randomly.
Last time, he encountered another Great Emperor Immortal Sect.
Sometimes, he could even see ’living people’ there.
"Hmm..."
Zhang Jingtong seemingly discovered something unexpected, murmuring, "It looks like someone is inside."
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled.
Is this not the Sea Abyss of the Endless Sea, yet there are living people inside!?
Could they be people from the Ice Spirit Sect?
That would mean they are from ancient times!
As the group wavered in uncertainty, with a loud bang, the gates of the Ice Spirit Sect swung open, and a torrent of seawater gushed out.
Qiankun Ancestor snorted lightly, and the water was immediately subdued.
Through the open doors, they saw several young disciples sitting inside the dojo.
These young disciples were all clad in the Ice Spirit Sect’s sect clothing, facing the group.
The only thing unsettling was the expression on their faces, wooden and rigid, as if they had lost their souls.
"Fellow Daoists, since fate has brought you here, why not come into the Ice Spirit Sect for a discussion."
A long, distant voice slowly echoed, sending chills down their spines.
