Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 772 - 770: You’ve Celebrated Too Soon!

Inside the Cloud Dream Temple.

The great battle that lasted for three days and three nights finally concluded with Yang Dingtian emerging slightly victorious.

He seized the temple’s divine stone.

After this battle...

All three parties suffered heavy losses.

Especially Su Xinghe, his entangled host of experts were decimated to but one-tenth, leaving only a mere five people.

Along with himself, a total of six people huddled together for warmth, curling up in a corner to heal their wounds.

Elder Tianku had lost an arm and was seriously injured, temporarily giving up the fight for the temple’s divine stone to heal on the side.

However...

Whether it was Elder Tianku or Su Xinghe, their faces showed vicious coldness, and their eyes were filled with venomous hatred, clearly indicating they had not given up. Like vipers coiled on the side, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike with deadly force, the moment they found an appropriate chance they would launch a thunderous attack to kill Yang Dingtian and reclaim the temple’s divine stone.

After all.

Controlling the temple’s divine stone meant controlling the Cloud Dream Temple.

Who would willingly give up such an opportunity?

"Hahaha, the temple’s divine stone is mine now..." Yang Dingtian was ecstatic, holding the divine stone in both hands, sitting at the center of the formation fully focused on refining it.

Elder Tianku and Su Xinghe watched him with icy stares.

In secret, they were also constantly communicating. "Su Xinghe, your Galaxy Valley has been established in the Southern State for many years, yet you have always had to look up to others. Not only do you have to consider the Nantian Dynasty’s mood, but you must also constantly be wary of the Nantian Holy Institute’s holy might. Surely you wouldn’t want to live like this forever, would you?"

Su Xinghe’s figure trembled slightly.

It was just as Elder Tianku had said.

The situation for Galaxy Valley was quite dire.

To outsiders, he was the lofty Valley Master of Galaxy Valley, and a revered figure from the exalted Longevity Secret Realm.

But who knew how heavy the burden on his shoulders was?

How great the pressure was?

If it wasn’t for the continuation of Galaxy Valley, why would he have agreed to let Su Yi marry Princess Qingping, knowing full well her notorious reputation?

Su Xinghe’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Elder Tianku. "Elder Tianku, what do you mean by that?"

Elder Tianku’s lips curled up slightly, his words carrying a bewitching magic power as he whispered, "As long as you cooperate with me and we take control of the Cloud Dream Temple. In the future, your Galaxy Valley will be an ally of our Changsheng Sect. I believe you are aware of the resources and strength of our Changsheng Sect. With our support, even Nantian Wen would have to think twice before dealing with Galaxy Valley!"

Su Xinghe’s expression changed slightly.

He hesitated in his heart.

Galaxy Valley was an ancient power that existed in the Southern State before the Nantian Dynasty, but it was now being severely suppressed by the Nantian Dynasty. In the past, they could still rely on recruiting disciples from the populace to continue the legacy of Galaxy Valley, but after the establishment of the Nantian Holy Institute, Galaxy Valley’s living space became increasingly small.

At that thought.

Su Xinghe took a deep breath and whispered back, "I can cooperate with you, but I want forty percent of the treasures within the Cloud Dream Temple!"

"Twenty percent!"

Elder Tianku said indifferently, "I will give you no more than twenty percent!"

"You..."

Before he could speak.

Elder Tianku continued, "To protect your Galaxy Valley, we not only have to face the pressure of the Nantian Dynasty but also withstand the Nantian Holy Land’s retaliation. We are taking eighty percent of the treasures, leaving you with twenty percent; we are already being more than fair!"

Su Xinghe’s expression shifted back and forth.

Though he felt unwilling, he understood that Elder Tianku’s words were not unfounded.

Whew!

Su Xinghe let out a long sigh, his voice firm. "All right, I will cooperate with you!"

"You won’t regret it!"

Elder Tianku grinned and tossed a few elixirs into his mouth, swallowing them as he began to tend to his injuries, his icy gaze sweeping over Yang Dingtian. "Yang Dingtian? Hmph, enjoy your moment of joy for now, the Cloud Dream Temple will ultimately be mine!"

......

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

The entire Cloud Dream Temple was under Xiao Yi’s control. Early on, during his closed-door cultivation, he had reactivated the protective formation.

Outsiders couldn’t see what was happening inside.

As a result, when the Nantian Dynasty, Nantian Holy Institute, and various other forces sent their powerful experts later on, none could enter the Cloud Dream Temple. They could only station themselves around the perimeter, keeping watch.

Among them...

There were strong practitioners from the Medicine King Valley.

Liu Rufeng was among them, and as he looked at the figure next to him, radiating an evil aura, he couldn’t help but bitterly smile to himself, "Xiao Yi, oh Xiao Yi, you’ve really put me in a tight spot."

He never would have guessed that the Earthly Sovereign Elixir Xiao Yi had given him was fake.

After the Valley Master consumed the fake elixir,

he never made the breakthrough to the Earthly Venerate Realm.

In the end, he descended into madness, greedily swallowing hundreds of fake Earthly Sovereign Elixirs, and while his cultivation had indeed reached the Earthly Venerate Realm, his mind had gone as wretchedly mad as one with lost sanity. Sometimes he was normal, sometimes crazed, turning the whole Medicine King Valley upside down. This time, upon learning that Xiao Yi was inside the Cloud Dream Temple, the entirety of Medicine King Valley emptied out to rush here.

The sinister Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, with evil in his eyes and blood-red pupils, casually stuffed a pile of elixir pills into his mouth, swallowing them with a gulp, he said with an ominous tone, "Has that little bastard Xiao Yi not come out yet? I can hardly wait to tear him to pieces!"

Liu Rufeng bitterly smiled and said, "Valley Master, please be patient. Once the formation barrier fades, we’ll be able to find Xiao Yi!"

"Hmm!"

The evil aura kept the surrounding strong practitioners from daring to approach.

At the same time.

Seated within his carriage, Nantian Bao, the newly appointed Commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards, was polishing a tiger-head saber. His gaze, glancing from the corner of his eyes at the several leaders before him, said, "His Majesty ordered us to investigate the cause of Commander Nantian Lie’s death. Once the barrier disappears, follow me inside. Whether they are remnants of the Changsheng Sect or the powerful from the Nantian Holy Institute, anyone who dares to kill the Commander-in-chief of the Nan Tian Imperial Guards is on a path to death!"

"Rest assured, Commander-in-chief!"

"The might of our Imperial Guards cannot be desecrated!"

The crowd shouted one after another.

Nantian Bao nodded, his eyes narrowing into slits as sharp as the saber in his hand, "I have just ascended to the position of Commander-in-chief and have yet to secure a solid footing. Victory in this battle is a must to deter others! Whoever killed Nantian Lie can only become a lost soul under my saber..."

Swish!

The cold blade gleamed dazzlingly.

Meanwhile, within the Cloud Dream Temple...

Xiao Yi suddenly opened his eyes, exchanging a glance with Little Lin.

Both of their cultivations had leaped forward tremendously.

Little Lin had broken through from the Third-layer Heavenly Venerable Realm to the Ninth-layer Human Venerable Realm. With his talent and strength, facing an Earth Venerate Realm opponent was totally within his grasp.

What was even more terrifying was Xiao Yi’s improvement!

He was a case of accumulating steadily and emerging suddenly!

Three nirvana rebirths.

All paths unified!

Finally entering the Longevity Secret Realm, his cultivation was now advancing with half the effort, and seven-tenths of the dragon essence that Little Lin had condensed earlier had been devoured by him. His current cultivation had reached the Tenth-layer Human Venerable Realm, and with Xiao Yi’s current strength, even facing a Third-layer Heavenly Venerable Realm opponent meant an instant kill!

As for powerful beings like Elder Tianku and Yang Dingtian, should Xiao Yi fully unleash his power, they might not necessarily be his match!

Xiao Yi’s gaze shifted towards the main hall...

Almost at the same moment his gaze alighted on the main hall, Yang Dingtian inside also opened his eyes, a thrilled smile on his face, "Hahaha, the temple’s guardian stone has been completely refined by me, the Cloud Dream Temple is mine! Tian Ku, Su Xinghe... and that little bastard Xiao Yi, you all must die by my hand, hahaha..."

However...

No sooner had his words fallen than Xiao Yi’s playful voice came through the void, "You’re celebrating too early!"

PS: There will be another update tonight, Xiao Tian continues!
