Chereads / The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor / Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: The Power of One Punch, Hidden Crisis

Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: The Power of One Punch, Hidden Crisis

Within the Mystic Ice Cave Mansion, Zhou Youwei, with the help of the Ice and Fire Profound Pill, fully formed the Dual Souls. The intertwining of the Mystic Ice Body and the Fiery Sun Body reached the Divine Body!

A cultivator's physique is generally classified into Mortal Body, Overlord Body, Emperor Body, Divine Body, and Sacred Body.

Zhou Youwei's Mystic Ice Body originally belonged to the Emperor Body.

Just like that, Zhou Youwei had become one of the top prodigies in Lie Tian Upper Country, and now by activating the Fiery Sun Body, she had made both bodies enter the stage of Divine Body, which would make Zhou Youwei even more powerful in the future!

All of this was thanks to Ye Xuan's intervention.

At this moment, Zhou Youwei had broken through her bottleneck and stepped into the realm of a Prince!

It must be known that Zhou Youwei had just turned eighteen, and at this age, becoming a Prince was definitely the most talented disciple in the Emperor Immortal Sect in nearly ten thousand years!

Boom boom boom————

Accompanying Zhou Youwei's breakthrough, a fierce sun and a bright moon suddenly rose, filling the entire sky dome, splitting Heaven itself in two!

This anomaly directly dispelled the purple aura that had filled the sky before!

This immediately caused an uproar within the Emperor Immortal Sect.

"Another anomaly? Damn!"

"I heard the anomaly was caused by the Holy Daughter!"

"No wonder she's the Holy Daughter, extraordinarily talented and also the top beauty of Lie Tian Upper Country—truly the goddess of my dreams!"

"It's just a pity that the Holy Daughter ended up marrying a fool, sigh..."

"Damn, why do you have to mention that fool at this time? Isn't that spoiling the mood?!"

"..."

Ye Xuan, who was also heading towards the Emperor Immortal Sect's Ancestor Temple, naturally saw the anomaly in the sky dome.

Everything was within his expectations.

As for the mockery from the other disciples, he didn't take it to heart but was pondering in secret.

"Although I have awakened the Taoist Body, it is still merely a towering mansion hanging in mid-air, its foundation yet to be built, requiring gradual refinement."

"Before certain existences notice me, I need means to protect myself."

He returned to his original self, and although his original self was a Taoist Body, it had no cultivation, and his soul power was extremely weak due to having been asleep for ninety thousand years. He had spent some soul power previously to give Zhao Yulong a warning and to control Lu Chengde, so now he could not use it arbitrarily.

Therefore, he needed to master some external forces to support himself.

Fortunately, this place was the Emperor Immortal Sect, which was very familiar to Ye Xuan.

This familiarity wasn't because he was the son-in-law of the Emperor Immortal Sect, but because the founder of the Emperor Immortal Sect, Lie Tian Great Emperor, had been personally taught by none other than Ye Xuan...

The Lie Tian Ancestor Temple was located behind Emperor Peak's back mountain. This place had no prohibitions, allowing each disciple to come and worship the ancestors of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

There were specialized disciples responsible for cleaning here, ensuring the ancestral spirit tablets were not tainted by dust.

When Ye Xuan arrived at the Ancestor Temple, the disciples responsible for cleaning were all looking up at the sky, gazing at the anomaly of the fierce sun and bright moon, whispering to each other, seemingly unaware of Ye Xuan's arrival.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan was also happy for the peace, walking into the Ancestor Temple without anyone bothering him.

"Stop right there!"

Eventually, someone spotted Ye Xuan and shouted deeply.

The disciple looked fierce, with a hostile aura. Upon seeing Ye Xuan, he paused slightly, then revealed a face full of mockery, saying, "Who do I think it is, if not the infamous Ye Xuan, the son-in-law. May I ask why the son-in-law has come to the Ancestor Temple? Is it to eat the dust here?"

The other disciples responsible for cleaning turned their heads, their gazes falling on Ye Xuan, also filled with mockery: "This fool has run to the Ancestor Temple again, could it be another attempt to show off his marriage to the Holy Daughter?"

"This fool doesn't know where his fortune comes from, being favored by the Holy Daughter. The Holy Daughter is so capable, causing Heaven and Earth phenomena, yet marrying such a loser, truly it's as if Heaven has gone blind!"

"There's a saying that a fool has his fortune—maybe that's what this means."

People kept mocking him, but anyone could see the envy in their eyes.

The Holy Daughter Zhou Youwei was the dream goddess of countless people, yet she ended up with Ye Xuan, sticking this flower to cow dung, how could that not infuriate them?

Ye Xuan continued walking without pausing, glanced at these few disciples, and spoke unhurriedly, "My wife favoring me shows she has great taste, what would you mundane people know?"

"Eh?!" The crowd suddenly widened their eyes, incredulously staring at Ye Xuan: "Damn, this guy's speech is actually kind of coherent?"

The fierce-looking disciple also looked at Ye Xuan in astonishment.

Ye Xuan ignored these people and continued walking towards the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple.

"Who told you to leave?" These disciples found it amusing to see Ye Xuan trying to leave, and abruptly blocked his way.

Ye Xuan put his hands in his pockets, stamped his feet looking at them, and calmly asked, "Anything else?"

While Ye Xuan didn't care for these jumping clowns, if they were seeking death, he wouldn't mind casually eliminating them.

"You want to enter the Ancestor Temple, right? But how could someone like you, an outsider, enter. Unless…"

"You get on the ground and bark like a dog!"

The disciples all blocked Ye Xuan, displaying malevolent grins.

This fool finally regained his senses, but they couldn't feel comfortable until they dealt with him.

Ye Xuan slightly squinted his eyes, his expression cold and indifferent, as he flatly said, "What if I don't?"

"Don't?" Several people were stunned for a moment, evidently not expecting Ye Xuan to be so defiant.

But immediately, one ferocious-looking disciple sneered, "Then you'll die!"

As he spoke, the man suddenly attacked Ye Xuan with incredible speed, his hand spreading into five claws, like a fierce tiger pouncing down a mountain!

"Fierce Tiger's Claw."

The other disciples, slightly shocked by the scene, quickly cautioned, "Qin Li, don't go too far, he has no cultivation!"

The ruthless Qin Li heard this and immediately eased his force, but did not stop, still charging towards Ye Xuan as he harshly said, "You spoke arrogantly; here's a lesson for you!"

Boom!

However, the next moment…

Qin Li flew backwards, several broken teeth mixed with fresh blood flew out, and he smashed onto a nearby stele, which instantly shattered!

"You———" Qin Li's eyes bulged, disbelievingly looking at Ye Xuan, and could only utter one word before his head slumped to the side, and he passed out.

Ye Xuan withdrew his fist and muttered, "So much nonsense."

"Holy sh*t!"

The remaining disciples were dumbfounded on the spot.

Ye Xuan lifted his head and gave them a cold look.

Thud thud thud———

The disciples' faces turned pale as they collectively stepped back, filled with terror.

Qin Li actually lost to the fool Ye Xuan?!

What exactly was going on?

"Kneel down, bark like a dog," Ye Xuan said indifferently, his expression cold.

The faces of the disciples shifted rapidly, looking extremely ugly.

"Ye Xuan, don't go too far. We belong to Outer Sect's top-ranked brother, Zhang Tianlin," one of them said with a sinister face.

Boom!

As soon as the words fell, everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and the person who had just spoken flew backwards, ending up in the same state as Qin Li.

"You!" The remaining two disciples instantly fell silent, their eyes filled with terror.

This guy, could this really be Ye Xuan?!

"I don't want to repeat myself about unnecessary things," Ye Xuan said indifferently, yet an immediate terrifying pressure was released.

Thump thump———

A profound fear arose within the two disciples' hearts, causing them to involuntarily kneel on the ground.

"I'll bark, I'll bark!"

At that moment, completely terrified and disregarding their dignity, they continually barked:

"Woof woof woof———"

An extremely ridiculous scene ensued.

"Good boys." Ye Xuan revealed an innocuous smile and walked into the Ancestor Temple.

"Woof woof woof———"

Only long after Ye Xuan had left did the two men dare to stop, their faces extremely pale. "Was that person just now really Ye Xuan?! Qin Li and Wang Biao are both at the Fifth Layer of Reach Profound, and they couldn't withstand even one of his punches?!"

"Absolutely not, someone must be impersonating him!"

"But who would randomly impersonate such a fool?"

The two men looked at each other and fell into silence for a while.

"We should report this matter to Brother Zhang," they eventually decided, taking Qin Li and Wang Biao back to report to their supporter, Brother Zhang.

They were ordinary disciples of the Outer Sect, but their supporter, Brother Zhang, ranked first on the top ten of the Outer Sect, Zhang Tianlin at the Ninth Layer of Reach Profound.

Just one step away from the Divine Gate Realm!

And stepping into the Divine Gate Realm would allow entry to the Inner Sect.

Inner Sect disciples held the power of life and death over those in the Outer Sect!

This Ye Xuan was utterly bizarre; they were no match for him.

Thinking back on the humiliation they had just suffered, rage burned in their hearts.

This man must not be let off easily!
