The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1587 - 1584: The Eerie Cliff

Back then, when he buried this item, Ye Xuan didn’t leave any marks on it.

Because he knew that if he did, the Ghost Land would know immediately.

And at that time, Ye Xuan didn’t foresee that he would be betrayed by the Double Emperors, causing changes in his plans. When he returned to this Ghost Land, his strength hadn’t yet recovered to its peak.

So relying on himself to find it still required a certain level of difficulty.

After all, the Ghost Land is so vast, finding a bead the size of half a fist would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

However, Ye Xuan was not in a hurry; this time, the resurgence of the Ghost Land would last for at least a year.

One year should be ample time to find this item.

It’s important to note that the Ghost Land could not remain idle.

The Ghost Land is alive and also has its own arrangements.

Back then, Ye Xuan had destroyed the Ghost Land’s layout.

That time, the opening of the Ghost Land attracted all of the Ghost Clan from the Ghost Great World, but many ghosts died in the Ghost Land.

At the same time, the bodies of the dead ghost clans disappeared without a trace.

Ye Xuan quietly investigated, discovering that those ghost clan bodies had been moved into the darkness beneath a cliff.

Blood was being drained, seemingly condensing something.

Instinct told Ye Xuan it had to be destroyed.

At that time, Ye Xuan had the power of the Undying. He eventually destroyed the layout, and additionally buried that treasure known as the "Dao Formation Pill" within the Ghost Land to absorb its blood and nourish itself with the Ghost Land’s power.

This also led to the sealing of the Ghost Land, plunging it into slumber.

Later, Ye Xuan dispatched members of the Revenge Lineage to keep an eye on the Ghost Land.

In this lifetime, the Void Sect is guarding it, and Yun Daoli has always been watching over the Ghost Land.

When the Ghost Land was about to awaken, they informed Ye Xuan.

For a long time, various ghost clans have considered the Ghost Land a Blessed Land for the Ghost Clan, but in reality, they’ve been secretly wary of it.

They could also sense some anomalies within the Ghost Land.

Yet every time the Ghost Land opens, the benefits for the Ghost Clan are visible to the naked eye, so they couldn’t resist its temptation.

All of these subtly hinted that there was something strange within the Ghost Land.

With this group of Night Ghost Clan doing free labor, Ye Xuan didn’t waste time and continued his cultivation.

He planned to perfect his cultivation in the Great Venerate Realm within this year.

Once he left the Ghost Land, he planned to head toward the Great Sage Realm.

If all goes according to plan, when the next Heavenly Dao Suppression is lifted, it will be the arrival of the Emperor Road.

......

Yegui Liuyue.

She was the young lady from the Night Ghost Clan who was previously by Yegui Chengfeng’s side.

She had an excellent appearance and figure, and her strength was formidable. At a young age, she had already reached the Supreme Realm.

Originally, she thought that coming to the Ghost Land with her beloved Yegui Chengfeng would mean there wouldn’t be any danger. However, who would have thought that as soon as she entered the Ghost Land, she would be met with humiliating treatment.

Yegui Liuyue felt very sad inside.

But after witnessing the prowess of the human youth named Ye Xuan, she didn’t dare act presumptuously, obediently following Ye Xuan’s instructions by sending out countless Divided Souls to search for that bead.

At this moment.

One of Yegui Liuyue’s Divided Souls flew out of the valley without knowing how far, arriving before a cliff.

Before the cliff, Yegui Liuyue sensed an inexplicable eeriness that instilled fear in her heart.

However, since it was just a Divided Soul, she wasn’t overly afraid.

She attempted to approach the darkness beneath the cliff, thinking perhaps the bead was down there, and so she dove into the darkness.

Yet as she descended, she suddenly saw a hideous monster, like a darkened phoenix, open its mouth and with one gulp, her Divided Soul was obliterated.

She didn’t even have time to resist.

Inside the valley.

Yegui Liuyue’s main body abruptly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with fright: "So terrifying."

She looked towards Ye Xuan but noticed he was cultivating, so she didn’t disturb him. Instead, she warned the other Divided Souls not to approach that area.

The search continued.

Meanwhile, one of Yegui Chengfeng’s Divided Souls also arrived at that cliff.

"Hmm, is that Liuyue’s aura?"

Yegui Chengfeng’s Divided Soul detected the aura of Yegui Liuyue’s Divided Soul.

"Could it be she went below?"

Yegui Chengfeng was somewhat puzzled, so he also followed down the cliff.

Then, Yegui Chengfeng encountered the same situation that happened to Yegui Liuyue’s Divided Soul.

The same scenario occurred with many of the Night Ghost Clan.

Yet seeing Ye Xuan in cultivation made them hesitate to disturb him, and they moved elsewhere to continue their search.

After all, the Ghost Land is vast, so strange places were not limited to that cliff, and they didn’t think too much of it.

Time slowly passed.

This was the tenth month of the Ghost Land’s awakening.

Since the Three-Eyed Ghost Clan and Night Ghost Clan disrupted Ye Xuan’s cultivation and were dealt with, Ye Xuan hadn’t been disturbed in the valley.

Or rather, the other ghost clans were all searching for their own opportunities.

And the valley where Ye Xuan was had no mention of opportunities, so naturally, no ghost clans came by.

Qing Hu of the Heavenly Swallowing Ancient Sect, however, was constantly searching for Ye Xuan. Before entering the Ghost Land, he had received orders from the Heavenly Swallowing Saint to eliminate Ye Xuan as soon as he entered the Ghost Land.

But upon entering, he never saw that human brat.

Thinking he might get reprimanded after returning, Qing Hu felt very displeased.

Fortuitously, upon entering the Ghost Land, he gained many opportunities.

After leaving the Ghost Land, he could attempt to break through to the Great Sage Realm.

This day, Qing Hu heard that something had happened in the Ghost Land: many ghosts mysteriously vanished, and not even their bodies could be found.

Qing Hu wasn’t bothered by it, leading the young prodigies of the Heavenly Swallowing Ancient Sect deeper into the Ghost Land.

In the distance, he saw a cliff.

Beneath the cliff, strange auras emanated, making one’s hair stand on end.

Qing Hu frowned slightly, planning to check it out.

At this moment, he saw a Night Ghost flying towards him.

"Anying!"

Behind Qing Hu, a disciple of the Heavenly Swallowing Ancient Sect from the Night Ghost Clan, upon seeing the Night Ghost, exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

"Brother Liuying."

The Night Ghost was indeed one of those subdued by Ye Xuan, and though this Divided Soul hadn’t planned to come here, sensing his cousin Yegui Liuying nearby, he approached.

"You two know each other?"

Qing Hu saw them greeting and asked.

"He’s my cousin," Yegui Liuying said softly.

The Night Ghost named Yegui Anying saluted Qing Hu.

"Anying, is there anything wrong?"

Yegui Liuying looked at Yegui Anying, puzzled.

"Brother Liuying, this place is very eerie. Our clan’s Divided Souls have been swallowed here by some inexplicable monster. You must be careful."

Yegui Anying said in a deep voice, extremely serious.

"I see. You be careful too," Yegui Liuying nodded.

"Brother Liuying, could you save us..." Yegui Anying said, embarrassed.

"What happened?" Yegui Liuying raised an eyebrow.

Yegui Anying recounted his encounter with Ye Xuan in the valley.

Yegui Liuying immediately felt anger rising, looking towards Qing Hu, intending to request to go to the valley.

"For a brother, let’s go together."

Without a second thought, Qing Hu gestured decisively.
