The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 949 - 946: True or False

Chapter 949: Chapter 946: True or False

"Pedantic," Ye Xuan said flatly, "To you, is ’female sage’ an insult?"

Kong Liang remained silent.

Xun Ji gave an awkward smile.

Ye Xuan took in their expressions and said unhurriedly, "While you’re still hung up on this, over at the Meng Family, there has already been a female sage. The piece of Saint Paper in my hand was made by her."

"What?" Kong Liang and Xun Ji were incredulous.

"A female sage in the Meng Family?"

Ye Xuan’s expression was calm as he said, "It seems all records of this have been erased."

Whether this was Little Meng Chan’s idea or the idea of the three great Confucian families remains unknown.

If it was Little Meng Chan’s idea, it would be nothing, but if it was the idea of the three great Confucian families, then they are hopelessly pedantic.

The female sage he spoke of was none other than Little Meng Chan before her soldier disintegration.

"Brother Ye, if this is true, then I apologize for what I said earlier," Kong Liang said, spreading his sleeves as he bowed to Ye Xuan.

Xun Ji also bowed deeply.

Ye Xuan shifted his gaze back to the Saint Paper and slowly said, "Why have you entered Dao Chu Ancient Land? For scholarly travel, or in search of opportunity?"

"Both," Xun Ji said frankly without pretense.

Kong Liang pondered and said, "I once heard that within Dao Chu Ancient Land, there is an ancient city, and in that city, a Confucian scholar can command the world with words. I want to see it."

Ye Xuan thought for a moment and said, "There is indeed such a person, named Ji Yueyi."

"Is it true?" Kong Liang was overjoyed.

Ye Xuan nodded slightly, "Here’s a hint for you, Daozhou Guardian God."

"Daozhou Guardian God?" Kong Liang and Xun Ji exchanged astonished looks.

The Guardian God of Daozhou—Ji Family of Floating Mountain.

According to Ye Xuan, the great Confucian scholar in that ancient city within Dao Chu Ancient Land, Ji Yueyi, belongs to the Ji Family of Floating Mountain?

"No need to ask me. When you meet him, you will naturally understand," Ye Xuan preempted their questions, waving his hand, "Alright, I have matters to attend to. Go sit nicely in the cabin."

The two of them saw this and did not continue to disturb Ye Xuan. They gave a bow and returned to the cabin.

The news they got from Ye Xuan left them invigorated.

They had come with an intention to try, not expecting it to be true.

For some reason, they fully trusted Ye Xuan’s words.

As for what the two thought, Ye Xuan did not care.

He had said all that needed to be said.

Ji Yueyi does indeed exist.

Confucianism’s three great families began with Confucius the Emperor.

But Ji Yueyi predates Confucius the Emperor.

As to why Ye Xuan knew this so well, it was because he was the Undying Night Emperor.

He knew many people in Empty Ancient City.

Speaking of which, the former sect leader Zhang Qingfeng of Dragon Tiger Mountain was also in Empty Ancient City.

However, now was not the time to speak of these things, as they had just entered the Lantern Sea.

The boatman paddled steadily, but the speed of the boat was terrifying, comparable to the Sword Flight of a Saint Realm cultivator.

Ye Xuan sat beside and carefully studied the ancient character.

It wasn’t a single character, but rather many ancient characters fused together.

During the copying process, these ancient characters trembled and fused into one.

"When we reach Dao Chu Cliff, I’ll have to let Bei Yao Divine Might take a look at this," he thought.

After studying for three days, Ye Xuan couldn’t derive much more, so he decided to store the Saint Paper away and wait until reaching Dao Chu Cliff to ask Bei Yao Divine Might for help.

"How long have we been sailing?" Ye Xuan asked.

"Three days, Master," Qiankun Ancestor replied with a smile.

Ye Xuan stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "Three days, so it looks like it’s time for people to start dying."

Boom!

As soon as the words were spoken, the surrounding boats began to shatter continuously.

Either they were directly stabbed by the boatmen’s poles, causing them to fall into the Lantern Sea.

Those people didn’t even have time to scream before they died.

Their souls were buried in the Lantern Sea, turning into soul lamps floating on the surface.

"What’s happening?!" Inside the cabin, Little Array Emperor’s face turned pale.

Kong Liang and Xun Ji also looked grave.

Zhang Jingtong pursed her red lips, a trace of resentment in her eyes.

She didn’t like to see people die.

Yao Yueqing had been sitting in meditation restoring her energy. When she sensed something was wrong, she opened her eyes and was dumbfounded upon seeing the situation behind them.

"Brother Ye, will our boat have problems too?" Xun Ji squinted his eyes, staring intently at the mysterious boatman beside Ye Xuan, his nerves tense.

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly, "The boats never have problems. The problem is, are the boats they’re on really boats?"

At these words, the faces of those in the cabin changed dramatically.

They looked back and suddenly realized that the original boats had turned into dark mist, engulfing those cultivators and then devouring them, leaving their souls to become soul lamps floating on the Lantern Sea.

They even saw the Shaking Light Saint Heir being obliterated.

Even the Immortal Gong Bozhong from the Shaking Light Ancient Sect couldn’t save the Shaking Light Saint Heir.

Fortunately, the boat Gong Bozhong was on was a real one and remained undamaged.

In despair, some panicked and chose to jump into the Lantern Sea.

As for the result, they died even faster.

After each boat traveled a certain distance, they realized that many boats were illusions, like the realm of illusion.

"Was that an illusion?" Yao Yueqing looked at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "This is the Forbidden Power of the Lantern Sea. No one knows which boat is real. If you choose wrong, it’s a dead end, even the Great Emperor can’t save you."

The faces of the people in the cabin turned pale at these words.

Ye Xuan was quite used to it and smiled calmly, "That’s why Dao Chu Ancient Land is one of Daozhou Land’s most fearsome forbidden lands, and is listed as one in the Nine Forbidden Lands of Xuanhuang."

"In every continent of the Nine States, there is such a forbidden land."

The fate of these people was sealed the moment they set foot on the Dao Chu Ancient Land.

There was no one who could save them.

To truly save them, perhaps only Ye Xuan could.

After all, besides being the Undying Night Emperor, he was also known as the Forbidden Land God!

Around them, countless boats were destroyed, and the cultivators on them fell into the Lantern Sea like drowning people, their struggles ending quickly.

As the boats traveled a distance, they realized many boats were illusions, just like the Illusion Realm.

At the end of the journey, on the shore was an ancient city wall, stretching to an unknown distance.

At this moment.

On the ancient city wall sat an elderly Confucian scholar in green, cross-legged.

He drunkenly rose on the wall, facing the direction of the Lantern Sea, and wrote six characters with swift strokes.

The sky.

The earth.

Spring.

Summer.

Autumn.

Winter.

As the six characters fell, a terrifying scene appeared.

In a single stroke, a world was written into existence.

What kind of man was this old scholar?

Below the walls of Empty Ancient City, a butcher shouted angrily, "Ji Yueyi, you old dog, stealing my wine again. See if I don’t teach you a lesson this time!"

Standing on the ancient city walls, the drunken old scholar in the green robe got up and, facing the direction of the Lantern Sea, fervently wrote six words.

The butcher below the old city wall shouted, "You old dog Ji Yueyi, stealing my wine again! We’ll see if I don’t give you a beating this time."
