Chapter 97 of "The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor" begins with suspense: Chapter 97: Chapter 96: A Challenge?"Who dares to kill someone from Emperor Immortal Sect?" Mu Baicheng,... Don’t stop reading!

Chapter 97: Chapter 96: A Challenge?"Who dares to kill someone from Emperor Immortal Sect?" Mu Baicheng, the first Supreme Elder of Emperor Immortal Sect, together with the four Great Elders Qiu Wenhan, Wu Jingshan, Jiang Jing, and Lu Chengde, all arrived! A terrifying aura covered the Imperial City, making everyone’s heart tremble incessantly. In response, led by Hong Yunlie, the State Preceptor of Lie Tian Heavenly Country and the Sect Master of Lie Tian Academy, Thunder King and many other Sealing Kings emerged, and the two sides faced off against each other. This was like a lineup between Emperor Immortal Sect and Lie Tian Heavenly Country, set out before everyone. A great battle was on the verge of breaking out. Witnessing this scene, Yan Feng and the others trembled with fear. Although they were proud students of Lie Tian Academy, under such a high-level standoff, they didn’t even qualify to participate. "Take this." By now, Ye Xuan had already reached Li Yuanzhou’s side, helped him up, and took out a bottle of elixir. This bottle of elixir was given by Wu Jingshan; it could be used for healing wounds. Li Yuanzhou had just been severely injured by a mere glance from the emperor, struggling even to stand up. "I have embarrassed myself in front of Young Master Ye," Li Yuanzhou said with a bitter smile, not refusing Ye Xuan’s goodwill. At the very least, his severe injury this time was worthwhile, as Young Master Ye still felt favorably toward him. "Your Cloud Heaven Pavilion probably won’t be able to remain in the Imperial City," Ye Xuan said calmly. Li Yuanzhou gestured dismissively, "It’s fine, my Cloud Heaven Pavilion has many branches; if we can’t stay in the Imperial City, we will just open elsewhere." "After all, in the entire Southern Domain, there are no fewer than a hundred Upper Countries." The East Desolation Domain is vast and rich with resources. Although the Southern Domain is just a southern region of the East Desolation Domain, it is still incredibly expansive, with thousands of mountains and rivers, vast landscapes, and at least a hundred Upper Countries. Lie Tian Heavenly Country is just one of them. Cloud Heaven Pavilion has the support of the Spiritual Boat Association and naturally wouldn’t consider Lie Tian Heavenly Country significant. Keep in mind, the influence of the entire Spiritual Boat Association spans the Southern Domain. Hearing this, Ye Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, if you ever encounter difficulties in the future, feel free to seek me at Emperor Immortal Sect." Li Yuanzhou’s face brightened, and he bowed with some difficulty, "Then I shall thank Young Master Ye first." He was aware that behind Ye Xuan, there was a mysterious and powerful figure; receiving a favor from Ye Xuan today was indeed a significant joy! He did not know that behind Ye Xuan, there was no such mysterious figure at all. But Ye Xuan’s promise alone was stronger than any mysterious figure! Because Ye Xuan was the Undying Night Emperor. Although his current strength was only at the Divine Gate level, with the Eternal Emperor Soul within him, rising to power was just a matter of time. It wouldn’t be long before all of the Southern Domain, and even the entire East Desolation Domain, would come to know how formidable Ye Xuan was. And by then, Li Yuanzhou would realize how correct his actions today had been. But, not everyone was Li Yuanzhou. Li Xue, for instance, couldn’t understand at all. Li Xue had developed a deep hatred for Ye Xuan. She glared at Ye Xuan with venomous eyes, swearing in her heart that if she ever got the chance, she would kill him directly! Bang——— At this moment, the standoff in the sky above was still ongoing. The invisible collision between Emperor Ye and Zhou Zihuang directly split the heavens in two. The formidable power made everyone’s spirits tremble. If any princes were to enter that domain at this moment, there was no doubt that they would be instantly torn to shreds! Such a level of standoff, even merely the pressure alone, was not something princes could withstand. "Enough, put a stop to this." At that moment, an old voice suddenly rang out, exploding in everyone’s ears. "This is..." An uproar immediately broke out within the Imperial City. Who is this voice? Upon hearing it, Emperor Ye, Hong Yunlie, and others visibly changed their expressions. Ye Xuan heard this voice, and his lips slightly curved up, calmly saying, "It seems that within Lie Tian Heavenly Country, there are still those who are wise, who know what the best outcome is." Zhou Youwei couldn’t help but look at Ye Xuan, puzzled, "Do you know who it is?" Ye Xuan shook his head, "I don’t." Zhou Youwei immediately frowned. "What are you saying if you don’t know?" Zhou Bingyi said, giving Ye Xuan a glare, unamused. Ye Xuan laughed, "Even if I don’t know, I can guess—it must be the old undead of Lie Tian Heavenly Country." Everyone else was a bit embarrassed. "This guy is too bold, mocking the Undying of Lie Tian in the Imperial City?" It seems only Ye Xuan would dare say that. The elderly voice once again slowly began, "Although the Emperor Immortal Sect doesn’t control the Lie Tian Heavenly Country now, the goodwill accumulated by our ancestors still exists. Having armed conflicts would only tarnish our forefathers’ reputation and make the surrounding nations laugh at us." "Young Master Zhou of the Emperor Immortal Sect, you and your people should hurry back." "As for today’s incident, let this be the end of it. Let no one discuss right or wrong, understood?" As these words landed, a huge commotion arose immediately within the Imperial City. "Just like that?!" In the Imperial City, countless powerful individuals felt unwilling. This time, the Lie Tian Heavenly Country had lost a General and five Princes, and even the Thunder King had nearly perished, yet now it was just going to be left at that? Suddenly, many voices of discontent emerged in the Imperial City. Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, at that moment, up in the Sky Dome, both Emperor Ye and Zhou Zihuang withdrew their auras, clearly following the mysterious old man’s words. Hong Yunlie and Mu Baicheng did the same. Clearly, the mysterious old man’s words carried great weight. "Youwei, Bingyi, hurry up here," Jiang Jing urgently called out. "Finally, we can leave." Zhou Bingyi patted her small chest, relieved. "Let’s go," Zhou Youwei said to Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan nodded slightly. Zhou Youwei carried Ye Xuan and Zhou Bingyi up on her Flying Sword, flying toward Jiang Jing and the others. Li Yuanzhou watched Ye Xuan leave, then immediately said to Li Zhan, "Little Zhan, it’s our turn to leave; we can’t stay in this Imperial City." Li Zhan looked at Li Xue, but she had run off. "Brother Li Zhan, I’ll take good care of the junior sister," Yan Feng said before he too ran off. Li Zhan’s gaze returned to Li Yuanzhou. "Forget about her," Li Yuanzhou shook his head. With his daughter, he was utterly disappointed. Let her go then. Soon after, Li Yuanzhou and Li Zhan disappeared into the lane. With the backing of the Spiritual Boat Association, the Cloud Heaven Pavilion had various strongholds; leaving was a piece of cake for them. But back to the matter at hand. Ye Xuan and his group returned to where Jiang Jing and the others were. The Thunder King and others watched as Ye Xuan and his companions left, their looks filled with reluctance but there was nothing they could do. The Elder had spoken, so they could only watch them leave. "Despite today’s events, I might overlook them, but if there is a next time, I will personally lead the armies and crush your Emperor Immortal Sect," the Emperor spoke slowly. Zhou Zihuang simply smiled and responded, "Then I shall wait for your grand arrival at the Emperor Immortal Sect." "Return to the sect!" Zhou Zihuang declared loudly, seemingly provoking the people of Lie Tian Heavenly Country. "Hold on, Sect Master Zhou," Hong Yunlie interjected at that moment. "What is it, Brother Hong?" Zhou Zihuang halted and looked at Hong Yunlie. All eyes turned to Hong Yunlie, wondering what this old man was up to. Hong Yunlie slightly bowed and proposed, "Although the Emperor Immortal Sect and the Lie Tian Heavenly Country are no longer related, as neighbors, it’s only natural we have some interaction. I propose the exchange between Lie Tian Academy and Emperor Immortal Sect continues as usual. What do you think?" "That’s what this is about," Zhou Zihuang slightly raised his eyebrow and spoke slowly, "Let’s do it your way." "Good, then let’s hold this year’s exchange at the Wansheng Mountain Arena one month from now," Hong Yunlie nodded. "Additionally, I’ve heard that the young friend Ye Xuan is now the chief disciple of the new generation in the Emperor Immortal Sect, he must participate," Hong Yunlie’s gaze landed on Ye Xuan, displaying a cryptic smile. The Thunder King and others also looked at Ye Xuan, their eyes filled with malice. All of this chaos today was because of Ye Xuan and his companions; they had no good feelings towards him. "No, Ye Xuan is only at the Divine Gate realm now; competing with your senior students from Lie Tian Academy is completely unfair," Jiang Jing immediately objected. "No worries, it’s just an exchange meeting. Just wait, in a month, watch me flatten your entire Lie Tian Academy by myself," Ye Xuan declared with a grin." It turns out these fellows were still trying to trap him, aiming for his life. Since that was the case, he wouldn’t refuse. But come that time, we’ll see who is after whose life.
