Chapter 55 of "The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor" unveils a new twist: 55: Chapter 54: Two Slaps, The Truth of the Past 55 -54: Two Slaps, The Truth... See what happens!

55: Chapter 54: Two Slaps, The Truth of the Past 55 -54: Two Slaps, The Truth of the Past “The four Elders of the Luotian Sacred Land are in our hands. Within three days, hand over ten Spirit Stone Mines and five Medicine Fields; otherwise, after three days, we will execute them again.” Wu Jingshan rose into the sky and declared with mana-infused authority. After speaking, his tone shifted as he cupped his hands towards the surrounding crowd: “I hope the fellow Daoists here ‘as guests’ can pass on the message, so this news can reach the ears of the Luotian Sacred Land sooner.” His words directly shocked the powers ‘as guests’ around them. The Emperor Immortal Sect had won again?! The leading four Great Elders of the Luotian Sacred Land with tens of thousands of strong warriors, and even with Sacred Dao Mystics Weapons, had been so thoroughly defeated?! When did the Emperor Immortal Sect acquire such strength? For a moment, the surrounding forces were somewhat panicked. When the Emperor Immortal Sect was in decline, they had not missed a chance to kick them while they were down. Now that the Emperor Immortal Sect showed signs of rising, did this mean their good days were also coming to an end? The many powerful beings hidden in the shadows silently retreated. “From today onwards, we must change our perception of the Emperor Immortal Sect.” “In the future, we can no longer treat the Emperor Immortal Sect as an easy target.” With such thoughts, the figures in the dark withdrew one after another. Among them, the most shocked were the people from the Lie Tian Upper Country. “Is this really the same Emperor Immortal Sect?” people from the Lie Tian Upper Country doubted in secret. Today’s battle showed the Emperor Immortal Sect’s extremely strong and domineering style, reminiscent of its glorious past. Completely different from the usual compliant appearance. The methods displayed by the Emperor Immortal Sect today shocked many. Countless people were secretly guessing what kind of power boost the Emperor Immortal Sect had received to become so domineering and brave all of a sudden. There were rumors before that the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, which extracts resources from the Emperor Immortal Sect once every three years, had not taken their share this time. No one believed it at first, but now it seemed likely to be true. “Could it be that the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect has taken a fancy to the Holy Daughter Zhou Youwei of the Emperor Immortal Sect, and that’s why they didn’t take the resources? And they even left some backup strength for the Emperor Immortal Sect to use against the Luotian Sacred Land?” Some speculated in secret. It seemed the only plausible explanation. But there were also speculations like this: “After all, the Emperor Immortal Sect was once a true Great Emperor Immortal Sect. Although it was disastrously defeated by the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, they surely still had some foundation left. For example, the Great Emperor Immortal Skill ‘Heavenly God Fierce Fire Scripture’ that was revealed three days ago is proof. This time, it could be that the Emperor Immortal Sect is showing the last of that foundation…” No matter what, the Emperor Immortal Sect had won. However, no one could guess that the real reason behind the Emperor Immortal Sect’s victory was Ye Xuan. In the eyes of others, Ye Xuan was nothing more than a worthless, stupid son-in-law of the Emperor Immortal Sect. How could such an existence have influenced the outcome of such a battle? Only the upper echelons of the Emperor Immortal Sect were very clear about who the true hero was. After Wu Jingshan finished shouting, he returned to the high temple. At this moment, the people of the Emperor Immortal Sect looked at Ye Xuan with completely changed eyes. Utmost respect! Even Jiang Jing, Ye Xuan’s mother-in-law who had always looked down on him, now held him in the highest regard. “You little bastard, you’re going to suffer a horrible death!” Chai Runting was suppressed, but she was cursing Ye Xuan. “You killed my son, I’ll have your life!” As the saying goes, sworn enemies are particularly hateful upon meeting. Seeing Ye Xuan, her son’s murderer, Chai Runting could no longer maintain her usual composure. “And you, Zhou Youwei, you wretched girl, my son Yulong was so fond of you, yet you insisted on marrying a fool, deliberately embarrassing him and making our Luotian Sacred Land lose face!” “Just wait, you will all die!” Chai Runting gnashed her teeth, glaring at Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei as she hurled insults after insults. Chai Runting’s curses instantly made everyone present frown and look uneasy. Zhou Youwei looked at Chai Runting and calmly said, “I have always said that I will not marry Zhao Yulong. Moreover, Ye Xuan and I were already engaged, so it is only natural that I married him.” Zhou Youwei’s words were honest and to the point. But when Chai Runting heard this, her eyes turned completely red with rage, and she roared at Zhou Youwei, “How is my son inferior to this good-for-nothing fool? You’d rather marry him than give my son a second glance. You’re deliberately trying to kill my son! You cheap maid, I’ll kill you!” Slap! Ye Xuan stepped forward and slapped Chai Runting across the face, speaking indifferently, “Do you know why your son died? It’s because he had a mother like you. When the top beam is crooked, the bottom beams are askew. You spout all manner of nonsensical logic.” The crowd fell as silent as cicadas in winter.

She was the wife of the Sacred Land’s Saint Master and an esteemed Elder of the Luotian Sacred Land, with high status and great authority. Let alone being hit, no one had even dared to curse at her. However, now she had been slapped with a resoundingly loud smack! “Nothing but hot air, I indeed slapped you,” Ye Xuan retorted with another slap to her face, leaving both cheeks swollen and red. He, the Undying Night Emperor, had always been ruthless and merciless towards his enemies. Was he supposed to be afraid of slapping a mere woman? Furthermore, this woman was the mother of that blockhead, Zhao Yulong. Chai Runting, with her hair disheveled like a shrew, glared at Ye Xuan, “You good-for-nothing fool, how dare you hit me?!” “Lock her in the Water Prison and execute the highest punishment,” Ye Xuan said, waving his hand, too lazy to speak any further with this person. Without a word, Lu Chengde took Chai Runting and the other four Elders down. Soon, only Ye Xuan, Zhou Youwei, Jiang Jing, and Wu Jingshan remained in the grand hall. “Mother-in-law, you and Old Wu go handle the Sect’s affairs first,” “As for this Execution Platform, no need to dismantle it. Continue to use it in three days,” Ye Xuan said to Jiang Jing and Wu Jingshan. Jiang Jing hesitated for a moment then spoke in a soft voice, “Ye Xuan, previously they didn’t give us the three Spirit Stone Mines and two Medicine Fields. Now we want ten Spirit Stone Mines and five Medicine Fields. Surely they will be even more reluctant to give them?” Ye Xuan smiled slightly and replied in a gentle voice, “If they don’t give them, we’ll just keep killing. This is also creating momentum for our Sect, letting other Sects know that Emperor Immortal Sect is no pushover.” “As long as we achieve this effect, it doesn’t matter whether the Luotian Sacred Land gives in or not.” “Besides, isn’t that woman both the wife of the Sacred Land’s Saint Master and an Elder? Such an important figure—if the Luotian Sacred Land doesn’t even care for her, then they’re finished.” “I see,” Jiang Jing said, enlightened. Jiang Jing and Wu Jingshan did not linger and immediately went to manage the Sect’s affairs. After they left, Ye Xuan turned to Zhou Youwei, slightly puzzled, “Wife, did I hear you say we had a marriage arrangement from before? What’s that about?” Zhou Youwei blinked, surprised, “Grandfather Ye didn’t tell you about this?” Ye Xuan shook his head. He really didn’t know about this. Zhou Youwei then slapped her forehead and exclaimed, “I forgot, you were delirious before.” Ye Xuan immediately gave Zhou Youwei a dead-fish stare. Zhou Youwei smiled gently and softly said, “Grandfather Ye and my grandfather were friends. They had already arranged the match before you and I were born. However, after my grandfather passed away when I was six, he entrusted my father to honor the agreement.” “I knew then that I had a fiancé two years younger than me.” “But as I grew up and the Emperor Immortal Sect faced dire straits with my father bearing the burden, and with the Luotian Sacred Land wanting an alliance through marriage, I didn’t like that Zhao Yulong. So I thought of you, and I went to find Grandfather Ye alone with the marriage agreement, and then I brought you back to the Emperor Immortal Sect.” “To be honest, the hardships you endured at the Emperor Immortal Sect for the past year were all because of me.” As she spoke, Zhou Youwei felt guilty and lowered her head, not daring to look at Ye Xuan. Her initial intention in marrying Ye Xuan was mainly to avoid the arranged marriage with the Luotian Sacred Land, but it resulted in Ye Xuan suffering undeserved hardships. “So that’s how it is,” Ye Xuan said thoughtfully, looking at Zhou Youwei, speaking slowly, “Although it sounds like I’ve been made to carry the blame, it’s all in the past. Just remember this,” “You, Zhou Youwei, are my wife, Ye Xuan’s.” “Do you understand?” Ye Xuan said each word clearly, with utmost seriousness. Zhou Youwei was startled. She looked up at Ye Xuan, uncertain, “After hearing all this, shouldn’t you be furious and then divorce me?” After all, the disgrace that Ye Xuan endured was all because of her. “Why would I be angry when I’ve gained a wife out of nowhere?” Ye Xuan gave Zhou Youwei a sidelong glance and said, somewhat annoyed.
