The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1600 - 1597: Emperor of the Nine Nether Ghost Clan

Chapter 1600: Chapter 1597: Emperor of the Nine Nether Ghost Clan

"Don’t tell me your master asked you to call me Master Uncle."

After Ye Xuan said this, he looked at the gray-robed woman’s innocent expression and knew this was definitely the case!

"Damn it..."

Ye Xuan’s face darkened. That Old Ghost Liu Tree actually tricked him.

"Master Uncle."

The gray-robed woman called out earnestly.

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

You’re obligated to those who provide for you, and lenient towards those who help you.

Because he owed the Old Ghost Liu Tree a favor.

This matter could only be accepted with resignation.

Ye Xuan scrutinized the gray-robed woman, his expression calming down.

And the gray-robed woman wasn’t timid, standing there allowing Ye Xuan to examine her.

Ye Xuan couldn’t detect anything unusual, then asked, "What’s your name?"

"Replying to Master Uncle, Nine Nether Emperor Xuan Ming."

The gray-robed woman softly said.

Though she addressed him as Master Uncle, there wasn’t a hint of junior-to-elder deference in it.

"Nine Nether Emperor Xuan Ming..."

Ye Xuan squinted slightly.

This name was quite something.

It unavoidably made people think of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix.

But it was certain that there was no relation between them.

Simply because Nine Nether Emperor Xuan Ming came from a powerful Ghost Clan that had disappeared from the Ghost Great World, their clan name was called—the Nine Nether Emperor Ghost Clan!

Ye Xuan had once found history about the Nine Nether Emperor Ghost Clan, which was the first ghost clan to be born in the Ghost Great World. But after experiencing an era of calamity, the overlord of the Ghost Great World changed to the Three Ghost Clans.

"What do you plan to do?"

Ye Xuan asked.

The female Ghost God named Nine Nether Emperor Xuan Ming calmly said, "It’s up to Master Uncle."

Ye Xuan said indifferently, "Then why did you come?"

Nine Nether Emperor Xuan Ming remained calm and said, "Awaiting your instructions."

Ye Xuan nodded and said, "Alright, now you go suppress the Ghost Land, and then return to Old Ghost Liu Tree."

Nine Nether Emperor Xuan Ming looked at Ye Xuan without speaking.

Ye Xuan sighed long and hard, "You say it and don’t listen, you listen and don’t do it, then what’s the point of saying anything."

Nine Nether Emperor Xuan Ming seriously said, "Master Uncle, the action in the Ghost Land has started, let’s hurry up."

Ye Xuan said listlessly, "Let’s do it, let’s do it."

Buzz—

The next moment, the two of them disappeared.

When they reappeared, they were already at the entrance of the Ghost Land.

Above the sky dome, the Gatekeeper’s massive eyes were still overlooking everything, bringing an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"I’ll leave this guy to you."

Ye Xuan said leisurely.

"Alright."

Nine Nether Emperor Xuan Ming surprisingly did not refuse, and the next moment, she disappeared.

At the same time, the Gatekeeper also disappeared.

Bang!

Simultaneously, the entrance to the Ghost Land closed instantly.

The ghost clans outside the Ghost Land’s faces changed dramatically.

The closure of the entrance meant that the Ghost Land would go dormant.

But all the ghost clans inside the Ghost Land hadn’t come out yet!

"Damn, something went wrong!"

The strong ones from the major ghost clans saw that scene and their faces darkened, hastening to investigate.

"Could what he said be true?"

Qingming Yuchan looked at that scene, feeling uncertain.

Previously, she wasn’t quite sure if Ye Xuan was telling the truth.

But judging from the current situation, things indeed seemed dire.

"Start moving immediately!"

Seeing the situation looking bad, the major ghost clans immediately began rushing towards the Ghost Land, intending to reopen the gate of the Ghost Land while trying to contact the ghost clans inside.

But it was all in vain.

And at this moment, at the entrance, those ghost clans getting ready for the Gatekeeper’s assessment were all stunned.

Assessment? Where is it?

Even those about to be assessed found themselves suddenly without a target for assessment.

Ye Xuan scanned around, discovering many ghost clans had not even reached the Saint Realm, and some were only at the Life Palace Realm.

The Ghost Land had been open for too long, causing many ghosts of low realms to have entered as well.

Ye Xuan took a cold glance, then removed the Ghost Beating Stick from his waist.

The ghost clans came in many races, each possessing innate divine abilities.

Killing them one by one, or not thoroughly enough, would allow the Ghost Land to take advantage.

Ye Xuan knew well what the Ghost Land needed, and that was the blood of the ghost clans.

The ghost clans entering the Ghost Land were already cursed by it, and unless they died, the curse couldn’t be lifted.

So now, the only option was to send these cursed ghost clans to the Underworld.

Throughout eternity, Ye Xuan had slain many beings.

Among them, there were terrifying beings that shook the ancient world.

And also weaklings with no defense.

But rarely did Ye Xuan kill beings that had nothing to do with him.

Ye Xuan looked up at the sky.

There, the female Ghost God Nine Nether Emperor Xuan Ming was battling the Gatekeeper of the Ghost Land.

"I somewhat understand your pain back then now."

Ye Xuan whispered softly.

However, Ye Xuan’s heart was not conflicted.

Although this was a massacre, at its core, it was saving them.

If they were devoured by the Ghost Land, the disaster would endanger the entire Ghost Great World, even All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

After all, Ye Xuan had a rough grasp of what the Ghost Land was.

That creature was also a monster left from that battle, possessing an extraordinary power.

If it were to return to its peak, even the Double Emperors might suffer loss.

"Speaking of which, why has the City God of the Nine Nether Great World not arrived yet?"

Ye Xuan frowned.

He wasn’t in a rush to act because he was waiting for someone.

Waiting for the City God of the Nine Nether Great World.

In All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, the City God Temples have restarted, connecting to the Underworld, reshaping the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Besides clashing with Netherworld’s Black Robe Netherworld Guides, they also had to collect souls for judgment, sending them to the Underworld.

But after the City God Temples of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds were restarted, only Qin Jiao and Wei An had been officially appointed by Ye Xuan as true City Gods.

The others were temporarily pseudo City Gods, having power but lacking genuine recognition.

The intelligence of the Three Departments of the City God Temple was unparalleled, like the Netherworld Guides.

When souls were about to emerge, they could foresee it.

In the Ghost Land, countless ghost clans would soon perish, which would be enough to alert the City Gods of the Ghost Great World.

Ye Xuan had to wait for this person to arrive, formally appoint, and then kill these ghost clans.

Buzz—

The void suddenly distorted, the entire entrance to the Ghost Land seemed to grow even more eerie at this moment.

Soon after, an elderly man clad in a black robe, indistinguishable from the Human Clan, appeared before Ye Xuan.

This black-robed elder’s long eyebrows were like willows, hanging down to his toes.

"Nine Nether Great World City God, Nine Nether Emperor Shen Kong, pays respects to Emperor Ye."

The black-robed elder’s eyebrows rose on their own, and then he knelt on one knee in the void, respectfully.

During his life, this elder belonged to the Nine Nether Emperor Ghost Clan.

This was no surprise to Ye Xuan, either.

Not just anyone can become a City God of a great world.

In this respect, the Underworld over there isn’t foolish, either.
