Young Master in Flower City

"How dare you!" At this moment, amidst the vast sky, dense clouds gathered, an endless terrifying aura permeated the void. Soon, under everyone's gaze, a group of people arrived stepping through the void, led by the Peak Masters of the six peaks, among them was Broken Sword.

And behind them were many high-ranking elders of the Martial Emperor realm. Clearly, the entire Haotian Sect's leadership took this matter very seriously; otherwise, the Peak Masters of the six peaks would not have personally descended.

Among them was a high-ranking elder of the Martial Emperor realm, none other than Lin Qiushui's uncle, a member of the Lin Family, Lin Hao.

"Master, uncle, save me!" Lin Qiushui called out for help to Broken Sword and Lin Hao, as Broken Sword was his master.

"Release my nephew!" Lin Hao snorted coldly, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent. The Lin Family had only this one heir, and if he died, the family would face extinction.

"Tianyu, don't be reckless!" Broken Sword fixed his gaze on Xiao Tianyu, whom he greatly admired, unwilling to see Xiao Tianyu continue making grave mistakes. He said, "Things have not reached an irreparable stage. The Haotian Sect will surely investigate everything thoroughly. If that person was not killed by you, I believe the Sect Leader will spare you. As for Qing Cang's death, he wronged you first, he deserved to die!"

Though he spoke thus, did Qing Cang really deserve to die? The matter might not be so simple; the Qing Cang family held prominence in the Imperial Capital and were imperial relatives. How could they let it go?

"I don't care!" Xiao Tianyu uttered coldly, and the next moment, "Boom..."

Lin Qiushui's body turned into a mist of blood in Xiao Tianyu's hand, utterly shocking everyone present. He killed him, still killed him.

This guy was too crazy; even with the arrival of high-ranking officials, he still executed Lin Qiushui.

Lin Qiushui probably never imagined in his wildest dreams that coming to accuse Xiao Tianyu would lead to his death.

This time, because of this guy, there was indeed a change in the Haotian Sect.

"Outrageous!" Lin Hao shouted angrily, "You killed my nephew! I will make you pay with your life!"

Buzz~

Gale winds whipped up as Lin Hao emitted a monstrous murderous aura, then took a step forward, directly enveloping Xiao Tianyu, yet Xiao Tianyu's gaze remained calm and unperturbed.

"Lin Hao, you're being outrageous!" Broken Sword coldly snorted, his sword intent permeating, continuing to say, "Get out!"

Crash~

With the sound falling, a wave of sword intent directly sent Lin Hao flying, making Lin Hao's expression extremely ugly. He said coldly, "Sword Venerable, why do you protect this criminal? My nephew was also your disciple, you..."

"I am not protecting anyone!" Broken Sword coldly snorted. "Even if Xiao Tianyu did kill that person, his crimes are not for you to execute judgment on; Punishment Hall will deal with it. Moreover, whether that person was killed by Xiao Tianyu is still under investigation. I have never seen a shoulder injury cause death, so I suspect there's more to it!"

"If that is the case, Xiao Tianyu does not deserve death!"

"Why not? He killed Qing Cang and Lin Qiushui!"

"Those two used that body to falsely accuse Xiao Tianyu, should they not deserve death too? Or is it their status and background that allows them to escape justice?" Broken Sword coldly snorted.

Upon hearing this, Lin Hao fell silent.

"What Sword Venerable says is reasonable, but in the end, someone still died!" At this moment, the Peak Master of Broken Sword Peak suddenly spoke, "Even if Xiao Tianyu doesn't deserve death, he should be confined for a century!"

"That is a matter for the future!" Broken Sword coldly snorted, Haotian Sect had finally produced such a peerless genius, he didn't want Xiao Tianyu to lose his life because of this. After all, he was also thinking of the Haotian Sect.

Furthermore, with the other four Immortal Kingdoms watching like hawks, the Celestial Capital was in desperate need of manpower. He believed with Xiao Tianyu's talent, as long as he's given ten more years, Haotian Sect would have another venerable.

"If that's the case, then take him to Punishment Hall and let them decide!" The Peak Master of Broken Sword Peak spoke indifferently, "Is the elder of Punishment Hall present?"

"Present!" A Martial Emperor realm elder stepped forward, and the Peak Master of Broken Sword Peak spoke, "Take him away!"

"Who dares to take me?" At this moment, Xiao Tianyu coldly snorted, "You all do not have the qualifications!"

Crash~

With his words falling, a dazzling light burst forth, directly rushing towards Broken Sword. Broken Sword raised his arm, catching the object in his hand, which upon closer inspection was a Jade Pendant.

This was the only bestowed item from the Celestial Emperor; the Celestial Emperor had once stated, with this Jade Pendant, it is as if seeing the Celestial Emperor; who dares defy?

Of course, had Xiao Tianyu not taken out this Jade Pendant, naturally no one here would have had the qualifications to arrest him. It was only out of consideration for Ye Qingcheng's future that he did not wish to reveal his strength too soon.

After all, Ye Qingcheng practiced diligently for the sole purpose of avenging herself against Xiao Tianyu. If Ye Qingcheng found out that it was impossible for her to catch up with Xiao Tianyu's progress in her lifetime, with no hope for revenge, would she still strive hard in her practice?

Currently, the reason Ye Qingcheng was not present here was that she was in closed cultivation.

"Broken Sword, what did he just throw to you?" Lin Hao spoke from the side, while Broken Sword coldly snorted, "You do not have the qualification to know!"

With that said, Broken Sword descended from the void, immediately kneeling on one knee, "Greetings to the Celestial Emperor!"

What?

Greetings to the Celestial Emperor?

What is happening in this world? That Xiao Tianyu could be the Celestial Emperor; how is that possible?

In an instant, the entire void was dead silent, everyone was utterly shocked by Broken Sword's words; for no reason, why would a generation's Sword Venerable kneel down and call Xiao Tianyu the Celestial Emperor? Could this be real?

Other Peak Masters were also dumbfounded, staring at Broken Sword in horror. They knew of Broken Sword's character well; he was a generation's Sword Venerable, with unmatched pride. If he was going to bow, he must have his own reasons.

But still, a Peak Master questioned, "Broken Sword, are you insane? How can he be the Celestial Emperor?"

Little did they know, Broken Sword wasn't kneeling to Xiao Tianyu but to the Jade Pendant. After all, seeing the Jade Pendant was as if seeing the Celestial Emperor.

"This Jade Pendant is the bestowed item from the Celestial Emperor. The Celestial Emperor has once stated, seeing the Jade Pendant is as if seeing the Celestial Emperor. Should I not bow?" With that said, Broken Sword handed the Jade Pendant to Xiao Tianyu, plunging the people present into another round of shock.

How could this Jade Pendant be in his possession? What is his relationship with the Celestial Emperor?

Moreover, could this Jade Pendant be fake? It likely isn't, as Broken Sword knelt; besides, who dares fabricate a bestowed item?

Confounded!

With one statement from Broken Sword, everyone was rendered into a state of confusion. It seemed that as Xiao Tianyu said, who dared act against him? To act against him would be to challenge the Celestial Emperor's authority.

"Damn, boss is awesome, even possessing a bestowed item. No wonder boss dared to kill Lin Qiushui and Qing Cang; those two indeed died unjustly!" Long Haochen was utterly in awe, no wonder during the evaluation, boss said he had the best connections; he didn't understand before, but now he did.
