The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1603 - 1600: Ghost Land’s Plan

————

Sinister cliff.

At the edge of the cliff, the vast body of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix lay crouched there, eyes closed, absorbing countless souls of the Ghost Clan to restore its power.

After nearly a year of absorption and devouring, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix felt its Soul Power had recovered to a considerable extent.

Now, it could wield the power of the Jiuyou Netherworld.

"That Female Ghost God is back!"

Just then, an elderly voice came from below the cliff, carrying a chill of murderous intent and anger.

"Oh?"

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix opened its eyes indifferently: "You’re in no condition to act right now; I will go again."

The elderly voice pondered and said: "Be cautious, this individual’s power is extraordinary. However, this is also an opportunity, with the Heavenly Dao Suppression in play, she can’t exert much strength."

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix said casually: "Relax, in this regard, I have more experience than you."

The elderly voice unusually did not rebut the Nine Netherworld Phoenix.

Because it knows well, during the battle years ago, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix had slain many terrifying entities, perfectly suiting the title of Nine Netherworld Phoenix.

Lord of Death!

Boom!

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix soared into the sky, disappearing instantly.

Once the Nine Netherworld Phoenix left, beneath the sinister cliff, shrouded in darkness, a humanoid silhouette faintly appeared.

But the silhouette was extremely blurry, as if it would dissipate at any moment.

This was the consciousness of Ghost Land.

"I hope nothing goes wrong this time; if it does, in the future battle, I might not be able to participate..."

Ghost Land sighed heavily, full of anxiety.

For some reason, it felt deeply uneasy.

Seemed like something would happen.

But it had complete faith in the Nine Netherworld Phoenix’s power.

Involuntarily, Ghost Land recalled the aura it sensed earlier.

No way!

Must guard against that monster; lest it come again and destroy the ghostly blood painstakingly gathered.

"Besides, those other Ghost Clans must be dealt with quickly..."

Ghost Land muttered, forming seals with its hands.

Rumble————

Next moment, beneath the sinister cliff, beams of Mysterious Light burst forth, illuminating the Nine Heavens!

No matter where in Ghost Land one was, this Anomaly could be seen.

Plus, Ghost Land had previously released those opportunities intentionally, gathering all the Ghost Clans near this place, so they perceived the anomaly immediately.

"It’s that direction!"

However, among the Ghost Clan, there was a group of young Night Ghost Clan warriors whose faces changed drastically the moment they saw the anomaly’s direction.

Previously, while seeking the Dao Formation Pill for Ye Xuan, they had sensed the ominous nature of that sinister cliff.

And now, seeing the anomaly emerge from there, their first reaction was not that a treasure was born, but a trap!

"No way, that place mustn’t be ventured to!"

Yegui Chengfeng said seriously.

"Exactly!"

Yegui Liuyue was the first to agree: "Earlier, while seeking that bead for the senior, we faced danger there; if we now greedily pursue the opportunity, we are likely to face issues. We should just wait for Ghost Land to close and leave safely."

"Let’s go."

Yegui Chengfeng did not hesitate, leading the Night Ghost Clan to retreat immediately.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

The Three-Eyed Ghost Clan, including the Three-Eyed Blood Minor, opened their third eyes, exploring the mysteries of that place.

Upon detecting the astounding anomaly there, they sensed opportunity arriving.

However, for some reason, the Three-Eyed Blood Minor’s expression was grave: "Don’t go, something’s off about that place."

"What is it?"

The others from the Three-Eyed Ghost Clan were puzzled.

For they felt that beneath the cliff lay a significant treasure!

"Just don’t go!"

The Three-Eyed Blood Minor was greatly cautious, having seen the terrifying Emperor’s Shadow behind Ye Xuan. Naturally, he vaguely sensed the hidden dangers under the cliff.

"This..."

The rest of the Three-Eyed Ghost Clan hesitated; despite the warning, they were eager to explore.

The Three-Eyed Blood Minor withdrew his gaze, observing their expressions, chilled: "Anyone wishing to go can; I won’t stop them. Those who don’t, follow me."

With that, he turned to leave.

He refused to take risks.

"I’m following Blood Minor!"

Immediately, some Three-Eyed Ghost Clan members declared, leaving with him.

Yet, some chose to head toward the cliff.

They wished to seize greater opportunities and rise within the clan.

This way, they wouldn’t have to act according to the Three-Eyed Blood Minor anymore.

"What’s so great, once we seize the opportunity and rise, he will obey us!"

A Three-Eyed Ghost Clan member sneered softly, voicing their thoughts.

Thus, this group of Three-Eyed Ghost Clan headed for the cliff, eager for what may come.

Unbeknownst to them, they were heading toward unforeseen dangers.

Simultaneously, countless Ghost Clans—Heavenly Ghost Clan, Earth Ghost Clan, Yin Ghost Clan, Fiery Ghost Clan—rushed toward the cliff.

Fearing others seizing theirs, they raced at maximum speed.

And right now, under the cliff, sensing the actions of Yegui Chengfeng, Three-Eyed Blood Minor, and other Ghost Clans, Ghost Land sighed: "Had this year’s incarnate not disrupted my plan, how would a few minor Ghost Clans have detected it now?"

Initially, he had a grand scheme, ruined by the Female Ghost God.

That time seriously injured him.

But his escape route wasn’t severed; subsequent plans went smoothly.

Even those entering Ghost Land were eliminated, gathered under the cliff, merely needing to be condensed; then he’d freely roam, plundering the Ghost Great World for power.

Unexpectedly, instead of the Female Ghost God, came a monster.

Without a word, the monster obliterated all gathered Ghost Clan corpses under the cliff, plunging him into a slumber.

That slumber almost drained his power!

Now, barely awakened, the plan could not falter!

Ghost Land was unaware that its accumulated power was entirely absorbed by the Dao Formation Pill.

......

Ye Xuan headed towards the sinister cliff, unexpectedly encountering Yegui Chengfeng’s group.

"Senior?"

Upon seeing Ye Xuan, Yegui Chengfeng and the others were startled, quickly greeting him.

"Senior, are you seeking that Exotic Treasure? You mustn’t go there; let’s leave quickly!"

Yegui Chengfeng, noticing Ye Xuan’s direction, anxiously said: "Previously, our Divided Souls all suffered there!"

Ye Xuan heard this, his expression a bit odd: "Actually, I’m here to kill you."
