The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1599 - 1596: The Truth of That Year

"What do you mean by saying that we know each other?"

Ye Xuan asked leisurely, his eyes fixed on the gray-robed woman.

The gray-robed woman looked at Ye Xuan, her beautiful eyes momentarily shrouded in a thin mist.

That mist spread across the void, forming a picture that unfolded before Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan gazed at the picture, his eyes narrowing slightly.

In the picture, there was a bizarre humanoid monster enveloped in black aura like bandages, traversing through the Ghost Land, stopping before a peculiar cliff, and then rushing into the cliff, tearing apart the Ghost Land’s plan.

That bizarre humanoid monster was none other than the monster body Ye Xuan once had!

It was Ye Xuan himself at that time.

And this incident happened during the initial stage of the Wilderness Era.

Back then, Ye Xuan was just beginning to set his plans into motion.

The mist gradually dissipated, seemingly withdrawn into the gray-robed woman’s eyes.

The picture naturally vanished with it.

"Thank you."

The gray-robed woman said again.

Ye Xuan’s brows slowly furrowed: "Although I said there’s no need to thank me, I still want to ask, why are you saying thank you?"

Even as he asked this, Ye Xuan gradually began forming a theory in his mind, linking his past judgments of the Female Ghost God, Ye Xuan started to think of something.

But the answer must come from the Female Ghost God.

"Because that should have been my task."

The gray-robed woman calmly replied, "So, thank you."

Ye Xuan’s brow furrowed even more: "What do you mean by that?"

The gray-robed woman paused and said softly, "You should know about the extinction of all Ghost Clan members during the Ghost Great World era."

Ye Xuan nodded slightly, he naturally knew about this.

All Ghost Clan members perished at the hands of the gray-robed woman.

But as for why this happened, he wasn’t entirely clear.

"I did it."

The gray-robed woman spoke softly, although she sounded calm, her beautiful eyes revealed an indescribable despair and pain.

"Because at that time, all Ghost Clan members had formed a connection with this Ghost Land. The revival of the Ghost Land meant that these Ghost Clan members would all be consumed by it, and when that happened, the Ghost Land would reshape a body, and no one in this world would be able to stop it."

Feeling numb, the gray-robed woman recounted the events of the past.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed to a line.

His guess was correct.

The extinction of the Ghost Clan indeed had a major connection to the Ghost Land!

After this revelation, even if the gray-robed woman didn’t explain further, Ye Xuan understood.

Because the Ghost Land had already formed a connection with all Ghost Clan members. Once the Ghost Land revived and consumed those Ghost Clan members, it would grow into an unstoppable terrifying existence.

And at that time, as the strongest entity in the Ghost Great World, the Female Ghost God picked up the Ghost Beating Stick and carried out an incredibly brutal massacre.

Before the Ghost Land could awaken, all Ghost Clan members were slain!

Still, Ye Xuan had one question lingering in his mind.

"What if all Ghost Clan members were moved out of the Ghost Great World at that time..."

Ye Xuan said softly, looking at the gray-robed woman.

The gray-robed woman shook her head and said, "It was useless. Even if they went to the Heavenly Domain, they couldn’t avoid being consumed by the Ghost Land, that’s the terrifying point of the Ghost Land."

Ye Xuan remained silent, he understood.

The so-called connection between the Ghost Land and the Ghost Clan was likely some sort of curse, even if these Ghost Clan members fled to the ends of the earth, they would be consumed with the revival of the Ghost Land, becoming nourishment for it.

Only by killing all Ghost Clan members before the Ghost Land awakened could the situation be resolved.

And the person who resolved it was the Female Ghost God.

So she chose to pick up the Ghost Beating Stick and slaughter her own people.

For the Female Ghost God, this was an utterly despairing and painful choice.

But for the future of the Ghost Great World, she had no other option.

Otherwise, in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, besides her, there would be no other Ghost Clan members left.

It was only after the Female Ghost God’s nearly cold-hearted and ruthless decision that the life of the Ghost Clan was able to continue.

Because the Ghost Clan infants were not tainted by the Ghost Land, all the infants of the Ghost Clan alive in that era survived, and with the Female Ghost God’s guidance, slowly revived the Ghost Clan’s vitality.

This was the truth of that time!

"After resolving the situation back then, I personally went to the Ghost Land, awaited its revival, and engaged in a battle, resulting in its slumber."

The gray-robed woman’s tone was calm.

She looked up at Ye Xuan, revealing an angelic face, sincerely saying, "So when the Ghost Land revived again, threatening to consume those Ghost Clan members, it should have been me to resolve it, but I escaped."

"Fortunately, your appearance disrupted its plans; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginably dire."

Ye Xuan looked at the gray-robed woman and raised an eyebrow: "Then this time..."

"The Ghost Beating Stick chose you."

The gray-robed woman said calmly.

Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched slightly, so that’s what it boils down to? They still want him to do the hard work?

After a moment of silence.

Ye Xuan suddenly spoke in a serious tone: "Who sent you here?"

The gray-robed woman was stunned for a moment, then replied: "My Master."

Ye Xuan squinted and said: "Who is your Master?"

The gray-robed woman gently raised her hand.

In the next moment, the Old Ghost Liu Tree in Ye Xuan’s arms automatically flew out.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan understood.

Both surprised and calm.

Surprised that the Female Ghost God was actually Old Ghost Liu Tree’s disciple.

Calm because it wasn’t far from his conjecture.

Earlier in the Ghost Land, when he was being watched, Ye Xuan had guessed that Old Ghost Liu Tree might take action.

The appearance of the Female Ghost God now confirmed this point.

"Since you’re its disciple, I think you alone should suffice, and as for the Ghost Beating Stick, I’ll return it to you."

Ye Xuan took the Ghost Beating Stick from his waist and tossed it directly to the gray-robed woman.

He didn’t want to get involved in this matter.

From start to finish, he hadn’t thought of suppressing the Ghost Land or anything.

This had nothing to do with him.

As for the past, it was entirely out of a need to cultivate the Dao Formation Pill, that’s why he did it.

Helping the Female Ghost God this way was something Ye Xuan hadn’t foreseen.

As for now, Ye Xuan had no interest in getting involved.

The Ghost Beating Stick flew towards the gray-robed woman but stopped mid-air and then flew back to Ye Xuan. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"I will never touch that thing again."

The gray-robed woman said numbly.

Ye Xuan’s brow furrowed, and he coldly said: "What does that have to do with me?"

He had made himself clear enough.

The gray-robed woman looked at Ye Xuan, suddenly feeling a bit at a loss, then lowered her head and said, "I’m sorry."

Ye Xuan said indifferently: "You should handle it yourself."

The gray-robed woman looked up at Ye Xuan, "But Master said you would help me."

Ye Xuan rolled his eyes, "Then go find your Master, I’m not your Master."

The gray-robed woman said softly: "Master told me to find the Martial Uncle."

Ye Xuan smirked: "Then go find your Martial Uncle."

Before the words were finished, Ye Xuan suddenly felt something amiss, he looked at the gray-robed woman’s gaze towards him and his face abruptly darkened: "Don’t tell me your Master told you to call me Martial Uncle!"
