The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1602 - 1599: Planning

After discovering that Ye Xuan is indeed the Emperor Ye, the Yin Dragon Judge ultimately dared not follow.

Today’s battle probably ended before it even began.

The Guard Palace God of the Yin Heavenly Palace had once decreed that upon encountering Emperor Ye, direct confrontation was to be avoided, and retreat for self-preservation was necessary.

However, the Yin Dragon Judge never imagined that Ye Xuan would appear here.

Moreover, Ye Xuan had already crowned Jiuyou Emperor God Kong before the Judge could arrive, rendering the Yin Dragon Judge’s trump card completely useless.

Originally, Jiuyou Emperor God Kong had defected from the Luofeng Six Heavens and joined the City God Temple, becoming the City God of the Jiuyou Great World.

In response, Luofeng Six Heavens entrusted the Yin Dragon Judge with Jiuyou Emperor God Kong’s soul threads, so that if Emperor Kong dared oppose the Netherworld, the Judge could simply crush the soul threads and destroy Kong.

As a result, even though Emperor Kong’s power far exceeded that of the Yin Dragon Judge, the Judge still held high status in the Jiuyou Great World due to the soul threads.

And in the contest for spirits, the Yin Dragon Judge held absolute initiative.

But after today, this situation would undergo a radical transformation—the Judge would no longer pose any threat to Jiuyou Emperor God Kong.

Instead, Jiuyou Emperor God Kong, upon receiving true coronation, would possess the City God Golden Body, and if the two clashed again, the Judge would undoubtedly receive a harsh lesson.

"This matter must be reported to the Luofeng Six Heavens..."

The Yin Dragon Judge sighed and left the Ghost Land.

There was no longer any need to continue.

Meanwhile, deep in the Sky Dome.

A peak battle was taking place.

The Female Ghost God Jiuyou Emperor Xuanming faced the Gatekeeper of the Ghost Land.

"Why haven’t you died?!"

Seeing the Female Ghost God, the Gatekeeper was stunned.

It had seen the Female Ghost God.

But that was during the Mythical Era, and countless years had passed since then. Whether Emperor or otherwise, all had perished in the river of time—how could one survive for so long?

Even it existed only because of the Ghost Land, which demanded a heavy price for its existence, confining it eternally here.

Moreover, at certain times, it would fall into slumber to replenish its strength.

Most of its time was spent asleep.

But such slumber was not achievable by all.

Throughout endless ages, not lacking were Ancient Emperors unparalleled, choosing to seal and sleep rather than succumb to death, seeking longer life spans.

But most never woke again after entering slumber.

All things in the universe, any creature, cannot escape the day of death.

No one remains active in the river of history.

Except Ye Xuan.

Thus, seeing the Female Ghost God was truly startling for the Gatekeeper.

However, Jiuyou Emperor Xuanming certainly had no intention to explain.

Her visit aimed to force this being back into slumber.

They engaged in a battle of epic proportions, ultimately the Gatekeeper succumbed to the Female Ghost God, as in the past, being suppressed into slumber.

After subduing the Gatekeeper, Jiuyou Emperor Xuanming looked into the distance.

There lay the Ghost Land’s direction.

She knew the Ghost Land had sensed her arrival, likely already moving.

Yet, she trusted Ye Xuan to thwart all this.

Thus, Jiuyou Emperor Xuanming didn’t rush to join Ye Xuan.

Why has she lived so long?

Actually, she hasn’t.

She had died.

But because of Master Old Ghost Liu Tree’s presence, she existed in a strange manner, perhaps vanishing one day.

In contrast, she preferred death.

To enter reincarnation.

That way, she’d remember nothing and be free from pain.

......

Ye Xuan and Jiuyou Emperor God Kong entered the Ghost Land together.

At that familiar spot.

Ancient Giant Mountain.

Covered by impenetrable mist behind, vast ancient land ahead.

Those majestic, incomplete divine statues stood before, amidst lush primordial forests.

Previously entering the Ghost Land, it was this position.

Though the Ghost Land constantly changes over endless years, its entry and exit points eternally unchanged.

"Speaking of, do all current City Gods face the same issues as you?"

Ye Xuan wasn’t in a hurry to deal with the Ghost Land but asked Jiuyou Emperor God Kong.

The Underworld granted Ye Xuan immense power, yet he hadn’t developed much.

More efforts went into restoring former City Gods.

But a downside was that many City Gods hadn’t received Ye Xuan’s coronation.

Perhaps when facing the Netherworld Luofeng Six Heavens, they’d encounter the predicament Jiuyou Emperor God Kong did.

"To Emperor Ye’s question, this isn’t entirely the case, as many City Gods rejoined as previous City Gods, albeit cautious of the Netherworld, but free from coercion."

Jiuyou Emperor God Kong explained: "However, those like me who fled from the Netherworld to join the City God Temple usually face such predicaments, as evidenced by the nine City Gods under me in the Ghost Great World."

Ye Xuan nodded slightly: "Once I’m done, gather the City Gods of the Jiuyou Great World for a full coronation."

Jiuyou Emperor God Kong bowed: "I heed Emperor Ye’s decree."

Despite Ye Xuan’s reluctance to meddle in the Netherworld and Underworld feud, holding power over the City Gods warranted expanding his influence.

The future landscape will be complex; he must enlarge his layout promptly.

Furthermore, the prior encounter with the Guard Palace God of the Yin Heavenly Palace revealed to Ye Xuan traces of betrayal by the Double Emperors, possibly involving the Netherworld.

Should he find evidence, he’d personally visit the Netherworld.

By then, not even the revival of Beiyin Fengdu Emperor could stop him!

"Have you been here before?"

Ye Xuan suddenly recalled Jiuyou Emperor Xuanming’s earlier words and asked.

Jiuyou Emperor God Kong nodded: "Indeed, even our Jiuyou Emperor Ghost Clan’s downfall directly relates to the Ghost Land."

Ye Xuan affirmed quietly, aligning with his deduction.

The three main ghost clans rose to be Overlords of the Ghost Great World thereafter.

Otherwise, with the terrifying bloodline of the Jiuyou Emperor Ghost Clan, other ghost clans would pale in comparison.

"Let’s go, the Ghost Land’s devouring begins."

Ye Xuan lightly tapped his toe, transforming into a Divine Rainbow and instantly appearing on the horizon.

Jiuyou Emperor God Kong followed suit.

The collision between Ye Xuan and the Ghost Land was ultimately inevitable.
