Chapter 1004 - 1005: The Empress Arrives
Shrimp soldiers and crab generals?
Upon hearing this, Di Lanshan rolled her eyes and said, "The Clan Leader of the Lin Family, Lin Congyun, is a Martial Emperor Peak expert, not to be underestimated. You'd better take the jade pendant and leave quickly. I believe that as long as you have this jade pendant, no one will dare to stop you on the road!"
Liu Yan agreed, "Lanshan is right. It's better to live poorly than to die well. Even if there's a slim chance, we must not let it go. Hurry up and leave!" Her beautiful eyes sparkled with reluctance as she pulled Xiao Tianyu along.
Xiao Tianyu had traveled countless miles to Cangye Kingdom to rescue her father, his deep emotional bond unmistakable.
Now that Xiao Tianyu is in trouble, how could she possibly ignore him?
Perhaps, today, because of her, Xiao Tianyu chose to leave, causing her to be questioned by the Royal Family, but she doesn't care, nor is she afraid of the Celestial Emperor targeting her family or her Cangye Kingdom, because when that mysterious force left Cangye Kingdom, they left behind a sentence that could ensure Cangye Kingdom's survival for thousands of years.
"Boss, hurry up and leave!" Little Nine also panicked.
"Are you guys done?" Xiao Tianyu revealed a look of helplessness. Did he, Xiao Tianyu, need to leave?
"Xiao Tianyu, you crippled the Eldest Prince's arm, your sins are monstrous. I'm here by the Empress's order to arrest you. Resist, and you'll be killed without pardon!" A voice trembled in the void, with terrifying pressure directly enveloping the entire Outer Sect.
This statement made Liu Yan and the others realize that there was no way they could leave.
"You bastard, are you satisfied now?" Liu Yan's eyes glistened with tears, while Xiao Tianyu reached out to wipe away the tears at the corner of Liu Yan's eyes, smiling slightly, "Such a big deal and you end up like a crying cat?"
After speaking, Xiao Tianyu started to walk outside.
"Xiao Tianyu!" Liu Yan called out coquettishly, just as Xiao Tianyu turned his face, his lips were sealed by hers. This scene made Little Nine and Long Haochen enviously jealous, envious to death. Geez, even if the boss dies, it's worth it.
At this moment, Xiao Tianyu also felt bewildered, his eyes widened in horror, what happened, did this woman just take advantage of him?
After a while, they separated, Xiao Tianyu showed a look of disdain, "Could you at least brush your teeth next time!"
Pfft~
Upon hearing this, Liu Yan nearly spat blood in anger. Brush teeth first? Did this guy think I had bad breath? She offered the kiss willingly, only to be disliked? Could this kind of outrageous situation also happen to her?
If Xiao Tianyu had said such a thing normally, he definitely wouldn't have gotten away unscathed, but now that Xiao Tianyu is facing danger, Liu Yan naturally wouldn't dwell on such trivial matters.
Subsequently, Xiao Tianyu led Liu Yan and the others toward the plaza.
"Xiao Tianyu is here!" Before long, someone on the plaza shouted in surprise, and all eyes were suddenly fixed on Xiao Tianyu. Someone said, "This guy dares to appear, doesn't he fear death?"
"Such courage, he dares to cripple the Eldest Prince's arm!"
"..."
Instantly, many voices of discussion rang out, all thinking that Xiao Tianyu was truly cornered this time.
Buzz buzz buzz~
As Xiao Tianyu and the others arrived not long, dark clouds surged in the sky, the newcomers being Haotian Sect's Seven Peaks Peak Masters, with the leader being Sect Leader Haotian.
Quickly, under the gaze of the onlookers, they descended upon the Outer Sect, and behind Haotian followed a white-clad youth, this youth was one of Haotian's Secret Disciples, Murong Bai.
Nowadays, Murong Bai emerged from seclusion, stepping from the Martial Immortal Realm into the Martial King, and is counted as the most promising generation of Haotian Sect's Martial King Realm.
In the past, when the Demon Sect descended, he had appeared to challenge, finally returning defeated.
However, the arrival of the Seven Peaks caused the Outer Sect disciples to offer greetings, making the Outer Sect the liveliest place in the entire Haotian Sect at the moment, naturally bustling because of Xiao Tianyu.
"Seize him!" Lin Congyun directly ignored the peak masters and commanded his men to seize Xiao Tianyu, but at this moment, Liu Yan stepped forward and said, "You say you have come by the Empress's orders to arrest Xiao Tianyu?"
"Indeed!" Lin Congyun snorted coldly, full of disdain. Liu Yan's beautiful eyes sparkled as she continued, "Though I lack knowledge, I'm aware that the inner palace should not interfere with politics, and the Empress, although…"
"Presumptuous!" A middle-aged man in armor next to Lin Congyun shouted loudly, "How dare you question the Empress, it's treasonous. Seize her and slap her face!"
"Yes!" Two armored soldiers approached Liu Yan, making her look grim. Just as the two armored soldiers raised their hands to slap her, Xiao Tianyu stepped forward, extended his hand, and slapped both armored soldiers, sending them flying.
"Take another step forward, die!" Xiao Tianyu's voice was cold, like judgment, causing the two armored soldiers to shiver internally, truly not daring to advance, clearly intimidated by Xiao Tianyu's words.
They were not foolish; Xiao Tianyu dared to cripple a prince, much less them?
"You are truly audacious!" Lin Congyun roared, "Seize Xiao Tianyu for me!"
"Wait!"
Duan Dao snorted coldly, sword intent filled the air, "That girl's words are indeed correct; the inner palace should not interfere in politics. You have come by the Empress's order to Haotian Sect to apprehend people. Have you considered the consequences should the Celestial Emperor find out? Moreover, Xiao Tianyu possesses the imperial-bestowed jade pendant, even if the Empress descends, she might not have the right to capture Xiao Tianyu!"
Duan Dao's voice was stern, righteous, causing Lin Congyun to be at a loss for words, seemingly agreeing with Duan Dao, that Xiao Tianyu holds an imperial-bestowed jade pendant, who dares seize him?
Duan Dao continued, "To come to Haotian Sect to apprehend someone, you must have the Celestial Emperor's decree. Without it, please return!"
"You… do you dare defy the Empress's decree?" Lin Congyun's face turned Tie Qing with anger, his grandson, Lin Qiushui, had died at Xiao Tianyu's hands; how could he possibly let it go?
"I wouldn't dare defy the Empress's decree, but the Empress interfering in governance, coming to Haotian Sect to apprehend someone, calls for another matter!" Duan Dao snorted coldly, "The Celestial Emperor has long stated that Haotian Sect disciples cannot be randomly apprehended…"
"Presumptuous!" Lin Congyun roared, "I will apprehend Xiao Tianyu now, let's see who dares stop me!"
"Try it!" Duan Dao stepped forward, sword intent filled the air, startling the various peak masters. If Duan Dao truly acted, the entire Haotian Sect might be implicated. Haotian stepped forward, saying, "Blade, calm down!"
"Sect Leader, it seems you've sat in your position for too long, the sharpness of old has been blunted!" Duan Dao snorted coldly, no longer showing the previous respect in his eyes. Once, Haotian never feared anyone to protect Haotian Sect.
"I only consider the larger picture!" Haotian replied, his eyes showing a look of helplessness. Though the inner palace should not interfere, is it truly so? After all, the Empress is the second authority in the Celestial Capital.
Rumbling~
At that moment, a Phoenix Carriage rolled through the sky, followed by countless palace maids behind the Dragon Chariot, their aura incredibly terrifying. People raised their heads, their gaze directed to the void, suddenly exclaiming, "This… this is the Empress's Phoenix Carriage, has she come personally to apprehend Xiao Tianyu?"
