Chapter 1166: My Brother-in-Law

Boom! Bang!

With Jiu Wei Hu joining the fray, Hei Shan Lao Yao was completely overwhelmed.

The royal Jiu Wei Hu had a noble bloodline. At just a hundred years old, it had already reached the imperial realm, a truly miraculous secret art.

Ye Chen also surged forward, his Ba Long Dao covered in immortal fire.

Fire and wood are naturally opposed, and using fire against wood was most fitting. Indeed, this method proved effective; every time Ye Chen swung his blade, he left bloody gashes on the old demon's body.

It was unclear when, but the world finally fell silent.

Hei Shan Lao Yao was slain, its old tree origin sealed, and the land was left in ruins.

Hu!

Yan Lao Dao panted heavily, collapsing onto the ground and guzzling wine.

Ye Chen clutched his bloody arm, circulating the Man Huang Lian Ti technique. He had narrowly escaped being dragged to his death by the old demon earlier.

Meanwhile, Jiu Wei Hu gazed at Ning Cai Chen with a surprised expression, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly, as if she had glimpsed a secret. A mortal with such combat power must have been possessed by a secret technique.

Another meritorious deed!

Si Ming Xing Jun smiled and detached from Ning Cai Chen, soaring into the sky like a divine rainbow.

As Si Ming Xing Jun left, Ning Cai Chen slumped down, and Jiu Wei Hu stepped forward to hold him in her arms.

You sister! My Da Shen Bian!

Ye Chen jumped three feet into the air, cursing angrily at the sky.

That is Tai Gong's item; it should be taken back!

From the ethereal void, a faint voice echoed, but Si Ming Xing Jun did not return.

Ye Chen twitched his mouth, his face still darkened with frustration.

Involuntarily, Ye Chen turned to look at Yan Chi Xia, who was sitting on the ground. "Old Daoist, pull that guy down again. He's a god? He borrows things and never returns them? I'm counting on it."

"Can't pull him down." Yan Lao Dao shook his head.

"If I can't pull him down, then force him down." Ye Chen said in a rage.

"To borrow the law again, it needs to be after three days." Yan Lao Dao shrugged helplessly. "Besides, by slaying a quasi-saint old demon, he's gained a great merit. This time, when he returns, his rank will surely rise. With my level of cultivation, I can't borrow him down anymore; it's an innate restriction."

"I..." Ye Chen nearly choked and fainted.

Wife.

Husband.

While Ye Chen was fuming, Jiu Wei Hu and the just-awakened Ning Cai Chen embraced each other, both in tears.

Yan Lao Dao rolled his eyes and turned away, drinking by himself.

As for Ye Chen, he squatted on the ground, his face full of frustration, his whole body aching from anger.

This was truly careless; in the blink of an eye, the Da Shen Bian was taken away. That was a weapon specialized in striking the primordial spirit, extremely domineering and handy. Damn it, it's gone just like that.

"That is indeed Tai Gong's item; it should return to its original owner." Seeing Ye Chen's pained expression, Yan Lao Dao said leisurely.

"Old Daoist, who is the Tai Gong that he mentioned?"

"Jiang Tai Gong."

"Jiang Tai Gong." Ye Chen stroked his chin, thinking it was only one character different from Jiang Tai Xu, and a strange idea popped into his head: could Jiang Tai Gong and Jiang Tai Xu be from the same mother?

"That is a supreme existence in the Heavenly Realm." Yan Chi Xia spoke again. "All gods in the Heavenly Realm are enfeoffed by him."

"So impressive." Ye Chen clicked his tongue and hurriedly asked, "What kind of existence is the Heavenly Realm?"

"This is a taboo; it cannot be spoken."

"Taboo." Ye Chen murmured. Things from the Heavenly Realm actually flow into the myriad realms of the heavens, which means the two realms still have intersections and intricate connections, not something ordinary people can touch.

"Thank you, Daoist friend, for the rescue. This kindness will be remembered forever." While Ye Chen was murmuring, Jiu Wei Hu cupped her hands in salute.

"It's just a small effort." Ye Chen smiled faintly and flicked a divine light toward Jiu Wei Hu.

The divine light entered Jiu Wei Hu's brow and went straight into her sea of consciousness.

Immediately, Jiu Wei Hu's body trembled, staggering in place, her expression turning painful in an instant.

Wife!

Ning Cai Chen hurriedly stepped forward but was pulled aside by Ye Chen, who just smiled slightly at Ning Cai Chen's angry eyes.

Seeing Jiu Wei Hu's drastic change, even Yan Lao Dao on the side cast his gaze.

Wheel of Reincarnation!

Yan Lao Dao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly looked at Ye Chen, his old eyes full of profound meaning.

Uh!

Jiu Wei Hu was still holding her head and groaning. Her pair of clear, water-like eyes gradually dispersed the ancient confusion as the divine light continuously merged into her sea of consciousness, and a sealed past life memory was gradually unlocked.

Soon, Jiu Wei Hu stopped trembling. The last bit of confusion in her beautiful eyes also dissipated. She stared blankly at Ye Chen, and mist formed in her eyes, condensing into crystalline light under the moonlight.

"Da Chu Huang Yan, long time no see." Ye Chen smiled slightly, with a touch of vicissitudes in his eyes.

"Ye Chen." The reincarnated Huang Yan had teary eyes and stepped forward to hug Ye Chen. This hug was not with romantic feelings but with the affection of fellow countrymen reuniting.

Uh. Yan Lao Dao opened his mouth, his expression strange.

This... Ning Cai Chen was also stunned. What does this mean? They said they would, but why are they hugging?

"It's rare that you still remember me." Ye Chen laughed.

"Through a hundred turns and a thousand tribulations, I never forget until death." The reincarnated Huang Yan sobbed uncontrollably, like Nian Wei in the past. She pressed her cheek tightly against Ye Chen's chest, listening to his heartbeat, as if listening to the heartbeat of Da Chu.

"Come, come, let me hug too." Yan Lao Dao stepped forward and pulled Ye Chen away.

"You stinky old Daoist, get out of the way." Ning Cai Chen scolded and pushed Yan Lao Dao aside. He first glanced at Ye Chen, then looked at the reincarnated Huang Yan. "Wife, you two..."

"He is my elder brother."

"She is my elder sister."

"So, is it elder brother or elder sister?" Both Yan Lao Dao and Ning Cai Chen looked at Ye Chen and the reincarnated Huang Yan with strange expressions.

"Elder brother." The reincarnated Huang Yan hurriedly smiled.

"So, it's wife's elder brother." Ning Cai Chen hurriedly bowed to Ye Chen. "This humble one, Ning Cai Chen, has met Da Jiu Ge."

"You're too polite." Ye Chen dryly laughed, his expression a bit wonderful. He lost a treasure but gained a brother-in-law; it's a bit unexpected. But since the reincarnated Huang Yan said so, he won't object. Now, in terms of age, he is indeed older than her.

"Come, come, let's divide the spoils. Everyone take one piece, don't take more." Over there, Yan Lao Dao had already poured out Hei Shan Lao Yao's treasures, piled like a mountain, each one shining.

"I'll go first." Yan Lao Dao was quick-handed and stuffed a secret mirror into his pocket.

"This divine pearl is good." Ye Chen reached out and grabbed a purple divine pearl, not for himself, but infused it into Ning Cai Chen's brow. It's a divine object, most beneficial for mortals.

"Thank you, Da Jiu Ge."

"Just call me Ye Chen." Ye Chen coughed dryly and looked again at Hei Shan Lao Yao's treasures. A quasi-saint's collection is quite rich, but at a glance, there's nothing he fancies. Still, don't pass it up; he casually picked a few, mostly artifacts.

"What about them?" The reincarnated Huang Yan didn't look at the treasures; she was more concerned about the people of Da Chu.

"We're still looking." Ye Chen smiled and flipped his hand to take out an item, handing it to the reincarnated Huang Yan. It was a divine sword, engraved with runes all over, full of the marks of time.

"Tai A Jian." The reincarnated Huang Yan's body trembled, and she hurriedly took it. This was the artifact of the former Chu Emperor.

"Your father is also in the myriad realms of the heavens." Ye Chen transmitted his voice again.

"Father is still alive?" The reincarnated Huang Yan suddenly turned her head, staring at Ye Chen with tearful eyes.

"Not only the Chu Emperor is alive, but all nine emperors of Da Chu are still in the world." Ye Chen revealed the long-hidden secret. "Back then, the nine emperors didn't perish; they came to the myriad realms of the heavens, but we don't know where."

"I knew father hadn't died." The reincarnated Huang Yan hugged the Tai A Jian, her tears falling like crystals.

"Wife, is there something sad?" Ning Cai Chen held her jade hand.

"No." The reincarnated Huang Yan hurriedly wiped away her tears and smiled through them. "One day, I'll take my husband to meet my father."

"Old... is the father-in-law's temper good?"

"It's okay." Da Chu Huang Yan smiled charmingly.
