The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 921 - 918 Hidden Secret

"Junior brother, your teaching method that has produced four young Heavenly Masters is quite admirable,"

said a burly old man outside the temple with a hearty laugh.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuanxi inside the temple retorted with mock irritation, "I preach by example and teaching, never rigid. You all can’t learn this."

"Since our junior brother took the position of Sect Leader of Dragon Tiger Mountain, his boasting skills have indeed improved," quipped a skinny old man beside him.

"You’ve got it wrong. Junior brother Zhao had this trait even when he was young," said another slightly hunchbacked old man, gently stroking his long beard with a smile.

"Senior brother, that’s not fair. My five disciples are all present," Zhao Yuanxi protested.

"As cultivators, we emphasize truthfulness. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Have you forgotten, junior brother?" the slightly hunchbacked old man teased.

Zhao Yuanxi suddenly smiled, twirling his beard between his thumb and forefinger, sitting upright with a stern expression, "Then I ought to speak about you three. All you do is lecture this one and that one the whole day, really acting like three old nags. But wait, you can’t bully the young, senior brother just said honesty is paramount, say what’s on your mind."

The five young people in the temple all showed odd expressions.

Their master truly didn’t have an ounce of a sage-like aura.

Hmm... the other three uncle-masters were pretty much the same.

Look, they were already standing up and walking in to start chasing people off.

"Jingdu, take them outside first. We have something to discuss with your master," the burly old man said to Zhou Jingdu.

"Yes, Third Uncle-Master," Zhou Jingdu respectfully obeyed, leading Wang Jingsi, Lv Jingyun, Luo Jingcheng, and Zhang Jingtong out of the temple together.

"Come on, can’t we just say it together?" Zhao Yuanxi felt a bit apprehensive.

"Master, you’d better wish yourself good luck," Zhang Jingtong said earnestly to Zhao Yuanxi and then followed Zhou Jingdu out of the Daoist temple.

After the five left, the door of the Daoist temple was closed, and the next moment, Zhao Yuanxi’s scream was heard.

The five couldn’t help but shake their heads, not finding anything unusual.

The rules of Dragon Tiger Mountain changed with the current Sect Leader, and since their master Zhao Yuanxi took the position, the style seemed to have shifted.

Inside the temple.

The four old men each sat in a corner.

Zhao Yuanxi sat alone with a battered face, sighing repeatedly.

The other three old men appeared unbothered.

"Let’s discuss business. What’s the plan this time?" said the burly Third Uncle-Master.

Zhao Yuanxi wanted to rub his face, but it hurt too much to touch, so he gave up, responding irritably, "What else can we do but go all out?"

Just as he finished speaking, Zhao Yuanxi felt three cold glares.

Zhao Yuanxi shivered, feeling wronged, "All you know is how to bully me. If master were here, he’d definitely complain about you!"

Upon mentioning the master, the three old men didn’t make things difficult for Zhao Yuanxi anymore and fell silent.

Seeing the situation stabilize, Zhao Yuanxi said, "In short, once we enter the Dao Chu Ancient Land this time, we must quickly pass through the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Land. Don’t bother with the Lantern Sea, head straight to the Empty Ancient City, and you’ll meet the master there."

"The master left a will, saying he’s waiting for someone. When the Dao Chu Ancient Land opens, that person will appear, though we don’t know who that person is."

"Could it be Tong’er?" Third Uncle-Master said subconsciously.

The other two old men also looked at Zhao Yuanxi.

Zhao Yuanxi shook his head slightly, saying, "If it really were Tong’er, the ancient corpse in the True Monarch Temple wouldn’t have activated the Destiny of the Lotus but rather raised the water level of the Lotus Pond."

"Actually, after some deduction, that person is not someone from our mountain."

"Not someone from our mountain?" The three old men frowned.

Zhao Yuanxi sighed, "You all understand in your hearts, stop pretending to be ignorant. You clearly know why the master entered the Dao Chu Ancient Land back then."

The three old men were instantly silent.

Their master was once the most powerful Heavenly Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain. His fame wasn’t just confined to the Daozhou Continent but also spread across the Nine States Continent.

However, nine thousand years ago, something happened between their master and the Double Emperors. Afterward, he left behind a few words and ventured into the then-extant Dao Chu Ancient Land.

Back then, they didn’t understand it.

But now, as they’ve matured and grown old, they’ve seen through the essence of many things.

In the past, the Double Emperors ascended to the pinnacle together, shaking All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, which greatly reduced nature’s spiritual energy, causing powerful beings in all realms to fall into slumber.

Moreover, the Double Emperors had a conflict with the extremely mysterious Revenge Lineage in history.

Of course, their master was also involved in that matter.

The exact details were unclear to them.

That’s why this time, they all emerge from the mountain, ready to venture into the Dao Chu Ancient Land together.

Besides seeking the destiny of which their master spoke, they mainly wanted to uncover the truth of the past and hope to see their master once more.

This opening of the Dao Chu Ancient Land, as they know, not only Dragon Tiger Mountain but also Zongheng Sect has similar intentions.

Additionally, the Supreme Pavilion has a significant layout.

As for other major forces, they are mostly seeking elusive opportunities.

"Why not try contacting that Ye Xuan?" said Third Uncle-Master hesitantly.

"Absolutely not!" Zhao Yuanxi said firmly, "The old turtle of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect has already been killed. The Ancient Green Bird under Emperor Mu’s throne has descended personally. You all understand what this means. That Ye Xuan has deep ties with the Revenge Lineage. Before we uncover the truth, we mustn’t make contact recklessly."

"Hmm?"

At this moment, the four were taken aback, glanced at each other, then stood up to open the temple door, seeing the black-robed young man outside boasting with the four young Heavenly Masters and Zhang Jingtong.

For a moment, they all felt a shiver down their spines.

Ye Xuan.

Why was this guy here!?

"Ah, the four of you must be the famous Four Great Heavenly Masters of Dragon Tiger Mountain. I am Ye Xuan, the chief disciple of Donghuang’s Emperor Immortal Sect. I’ve come to see you," Ye Xuan said earnestly, cupping his hands toward the four.

"Master, Brother Ye wants to seek talismans from you," Luo Jingcheng said to Zhao Yuanxi.

These words immediately made Zhao Yuanxi’s mouth twitch.

Damn it, how long has it been, and you’re already calling each other brothers?

Zhao Yuanxi and the three old men looked at Ye Xuan with unfriendly eyes, carrying a warning within them.

Ye Xuan, however, said with a friendly face, "I’ve long heard of the great Divine Talisman Technique of Old Heavenly Master Zhang Qingfeng sweeping the Nine States. But ever since Old Heavenly Master Zhang’s sudden retirement, those seeking talismans have nowhere to go. As the direct disciples of Old Heavenly Master Zhang, you are surely not weak in the Divine Talisman Technique, so I’d like to ask for a couple of talismans."

"Seeking talismans, is it? Sure, come inside, and let’s discuss it slowly," Zhao Yuanxi replied with a ’kind’ face.
