The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 951 - 948 Entering the City

Chapter 951: Chapter 948 Entering the City

"Finally, we’re leaving this ghostly place!"

The many cultivators who survived on the three thousand ships sighed in relief and smiled upon seeing the walls of the Empty Ancient City.

From the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Land to the Lantern Sea, they truly experienced too much life and death.

Especially in the Lantern Sea, witnessing swathes of cultivators dying brought an immense impact on their minds.

Some cultivators even showed signs of their Dao Heart beginning to crumble after that incident.

For a cultivator, this is extremely fatal.

However, such cultivators are only a few.

After all, the weakest cultivators who came here are of the Longevity Realm.

This level, placed outside, holds certain status anywhere.

To reach this realm, one has surely witnessed a lot of events.

On one of the ships, the people of the Shaking Light Ancient Sect gathered.

The leader was naturally the Ancestor, Gong Bozhong.

In that calamity, he couldn’t save the Saint Heir of Shaking Light, which made his current expression still very grim.

As the Saint Heir of Shaking Light, the future was to become the heir of the Shaking Light Ancient Sect.

But now, they died in the Lantern Sea.

This was a terrifying message for their faction.

Gong Bozhong cast his eyes towards a certain ship in the distance, flickering with a cold murderous intent.

No matter the reason now, he must deal with Yao Yueqing.

Otherwise, their faction would have no hope of rising in this generation.

If Yao Yueqing is killed, it would be completely acceptable for their faction.

At worst, they could each just find another person to cultivate.

But if Yao Yueqing doesn’t die, with the Saint Heir of Shaking Light already dead, then the faction of the Ancient Ancestor would take over the entire Shaking Light Ancient Sect and support Yao Yueqing.

An ancient great sect contains far too many intricacies.

"Once we land, find the right opportunity, strike decisively, but make sure no one sees it was us from the Shaking Light Ancient Sect." Gong Bozhong secretly ordered two trusted elders.

"Ancestor, do we really have to do this?" the two elders worriedly asked.

"Yao Yueqing is always by Ye Xuan’s side, and with someone like Fist Venerate Ao Rulong guarding him, it’s very difficult to kill Yao Yueqing."

"I’ll handle Fist Venerate Ao Rulong when the time comes. Your task is to take down Yao Yueqing!" Gong Bozhong said coldly. "Additionally, if there’s a chance, eliminate that Ye Xuan as well. That kid is nothing good. If not for him, how would our Shaking Light Ancient Sect be in this situation?"

"Yes, Ancestor!" The two trusted elders heard this and respectfully accepted the order.

On the other side, after the Demon Youth of the Heavenly Demon Sea awoke, he also clamored to kill Ye Xuan.

The result was that he was held back by a group of elders.

The East Desolate Wolf was able to defeat the State Preceptor Nine Heavens True Person of the Xuantian Ancient Country. Although the Heavenly Demon Sea has an Ancestor secretly following to protect the Demon Youth, if a real fight broke out and something happened to the Demon Youth, they wouldn’t be able to explain it afterward.

As for the people of the Xuantian Ancient Country, they no longer dared to think of causing trouble for Ye Xuan.

Especially Nine Heavens True Person, who, after suffering a big loss, now avoids Ye Xuan and his group at all costs.

"Have the members of Wind and Thunder Mountain all perished?" the Xuantian Saint Heir recalled something.

"Most likely, they were already corrupted by darkness in the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Land." Nine Heavens True Person mused.

Throughout their journey, they hadn’t seen anyone from Wind and Thunder Mountain, which surprised them.

The Xuantian Saint Heir sighed, "Although each fought their own battles, I didn’t expect their entire group to be wiped out. It really surprised me."

"This is the Dao Chu Ancient Land..." Nine Heavens True Person squinted his eyes.

"State Preceptor, do you think we can meet that senior when we reach that ancient city?" Xuantian Saint Heir looked with some anxiety at the ancient city wall.

Nine Heavens True Person shook his head slightly, "No one can say for sure, but what is certain is, if we can meet that being, we could avenge Ye Xuan."

The Xuantian Saint Heir’s eyes flickered with a glimmer, but he said nothing.

This time, coming to the Dao Chu Ancient Land, the people of the Xuantian Ancient Country also aimed to meet a senior of their nation in the Empty Ancient City.

Of course, they’re not certain of its existence and can only try their luck.

If they’re lucky, they will be thrilled.

If unlucky and they can’t encounter it, they can only choose to leave.

In the current world, many major forces’ records of the Dao Chu Ancient Land revolve around that ancient city.

As if that were the endpoint of the Dao Chu Ancient Land.

Soon, the ships drew closer to the ancient city walls, and everyone was increasingly astonished.

"How tall and wide are these walls?"

They voiced their inner doubts.

When they looked closely, it was impossible to see the edges or how tall it was, leaving a deep impression.

On the city walls, there were various battle marks, but they were very ancient, likely passed down from a bygone era.

"So high!"

On the ship with Ye Xuan, everyone came to the bow at this moment, gazing up at the ancient city walls, exclaiming.

Ye Xuan looked at the walls without speaking.

In his estimation, these walls were already mostly destroyed, and the true power should have dissipated.

Yet it remains here.

Without further destruction.

"How do we get up there?" Everyone was troubled.

"Naturally, we fly." Ye Xuan smiled calmly, lightly tapping his toes, and ascended into the air.

Qiankun Ancestor followed closely behind.

The East Desolate Wolf and others beside them also followed one after another.

"Huh?!"

This left Luo Jingcheng and others bewildered.

What’s the situation? Weren’t we unable to fly?

Previously, they saw with their own eyes that once they flew in the air, they’d immediately be engulfed by the mysterious black fog of the Lantern Sea.

So, no one dared to do it.

But now, Ye Xuan directly stepped into the air without any harm.

"This place is the junction of the Lantern Sea and Empty Ancient City; the Forbidden Power is suppressed."

Ye Xuan’s words gently drifted down.

Upon hearing this, everyone reacted and immediately followed Ye Xuan.

And seeing this, people from other ships rushed to fly up as well.

Nearly thirty thousand cultivators rose densely into the sky like locusts.

Meanwhile, in the ancient city behind the walls, ancient beings opened their eyes.

In a secluded courtyard, an old Taoist, Zhang Qingfeng, slowly opened his eyes, revealing an excited expression.

The Emperor Ye.

Finally arrived!

Just as he predicted back then.

Undying Night Emperor, eternal and unkillable!

Even the Double Emperors couldn’t kill him!

"The Empty Ancient City is about to get lively!"

In the city, an ancient monster who had lived for who knows how long chuckled.

"It’s lively, and people will start dying again," someone else sighed.

But this was for another matter. For the Central Earth cultivators climbing up the city wall, today was indeed a vigorous day.

They left the Lantern Sea, reached the other side, and entered the legendary ancient city!

On the city wall, the Central Earth cultivators looked far and wide, looking back at the horrors of the Lantern Sea, then turning to gaze at the Empty Ancient City; they were greatly shocked.

For they saw a flourishing ancient city bustling with people.

This—is this really the Dao Chu Ancient Land?!

How could so many people be surviving here?!

Sounds of gasping for breath echoed one after another.

"What’s—going on?"

Beside Ye Xuan, Fist Venerate Ao Rulong and others were bewildered.

The Dao Chu Ancient Land, the most terrifying forbidden land in Central Earth, no doubt.

They were not surprised by the existence of an ancient city here, but the fact that there were so many people in the ancient city!?

This wasn’t quite right.

"Could it be an illusion?!" Xu Zhengtao spoke intuitively.

"No, absolutely not an illusion!" Fist Venerate Ao Rulong, having a much higher realm than Xu Zhengtao, perceived at a glance that this was definitely not an illusion.

Standing on the city wall, Ye Xuan stretched lazily and mumbled, "Those who should follow me, continue to follow me. Those who shouldn’t, let’s part ways here."

"Brother Ye, see you again someday." Kong Liang, Xun Ji, and the Little Array Emperor all understood what Ye Xuan meant and bowed, bidding farewell to Ye Xuan and the others.

"Everyone, see you again someday."

"Let’s go." Ye Xuan tapped his toes gently and dashed down the city wall.

Qiankun Ancestor, East Desolate Wolf, Fist Venerate Ao Rulong, Xu Zhengtao, Yao Yueqing, Zhang Jingtong, and the Four Little Heavenly Masters followed behind Ye Xuan.

A line of ten people, spreading out.

Quite a spectacle.
