The Playboy Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 580 - 482, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang (First Update)

"It's you, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang!"

When Wu Zetian saw clearly the man in the corner of the dungeon, she let out a gasp of surprise.

"Emperor Xuanzong of Tang? Could it be my master's father, Li Shimin?"

Confusion flashed in Yang Tian's eyes.

This Emperor Xuanzong was a famous emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but hadn't he died over a thousand years ago?

Emperor Xuanzong had died, allowing Emperor Gaozong of Tang to ascend the throne.

"Wu Mei..."

The man who had been sitting motionless in the corner slowly turned his head upon hearing Wu Zetian's exclamation. His eyes showed a hint of shock when he saw Wu Zetian's face.

"Your... Your Majesty, it is I..."

Wu Zetian quickly gave a bow.

Although Emperor Xuanzong had died more than a thousand years ago, as his concubine, Wu Zetian had assisted Li Zhi in ascending the throne.

However, Emperor Xuanzong was, after all, the ruler during the Kaiyuan prosperous age of the Great Tang, so Wu Zetian respectfully bowed.

"My beloved concubine, I never expected that after more than a thousand years, I could still see you!"

Emperor Xuanzong's face was filled with excitement, and he tried to struggle to stand up.

But for some reason, Emperor Xuanzong was extremely weak at the moment. As soon as he struggled, he fell heavily to the ground with a thud.

"Your Majesty!"

Wu Zetian stepped forward, trying to help Emperor Xuanzong up.

But at that moment, a divine light radiated from Wu Zetian's body.

This divine light shone upon Emperor Xuanzong's body.

Almost instantly, Emperor Xuanzong began to tremble, his face turning pale, almost as if in a state of collapse.

"Wu Mei, what is happening?"

Emperor Xuanzong felt the divine light, covering his face with his hand, his entire body trembling.

"This... I'm sorry, Your Majesty!"

Wu Zetian realized what was happening.

Because she approached an unfamiliar man, the divine aura from her body once again coalesced.

This divine aura originated from the Soul Imperial Spring.

"Mistress, although this man is Emperor Xuanzong, now, you are my master's woman."

Yang Tian said lightly.

He always felt that the man before him was definitely not simple.

If he really was Emperor Xuanzong, then why had he been here for a thousand years?

Moreover, why would the Celestial Demon imprison Emperor Xuanzong here?

"How dare you, Wu Mei is my beloved concubine, what nonsense are you spouting? What do you mean my master's woman?"

Emperor Xuanzong was furious upon hearing Yang Tian's words.

Yang Tian smiled coldly in his heart.

A man who supposedly died over a thousand years ago, still so arrogant?

To Yang Tian, a modern man from the 21st century, this so-called Emperor Xuanzong was nothing but the past.

Yang Tian said calmly, "My master is Emperor Gaozong of Tang, and Wu Zetian is Emperor Gaozong's woman."

"What? My son? My son took my beloved concubine after I passed away?" Emperor Xuanzong's face darkened, but after a while, he realized, "Well, after all, I'm already dead, so why bother?"

After a pause, Emperor Xuanzong coldly looked at Yang Tian, "From now on, I am your emperor, and Wu Mei is my beloved concubine!"

Upon hearing Emperor Xuanzong's words, Yang Tian laughed, "Utterly ridiculous, you are nothing but a captive of the Celestial Demon, still claiming to be emperor?"

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Emperor Xuanzong's face changed drastically, he was about to stand up.

But a wave of weakness surged, and he sat back down helplessly, breathing weakly, "Never mind, I won't argue with a commoner like you..."

After a pause, Emperor Xuanzong looked at Wu Zetian, "Wu Mei, can you come over and let me hold you..."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that won't be possible."

Wu Zetian shook her head.

"Why? Just because I've been away from the Great Tang for over a thousand years?"

Emperor Xuanzong's face turned somber.

Wu Zetian shook her head, "Not because Your Majesty has passed, but because I died over a thousand years ago and have been reshaped by the Soul Imperial Spring. My body is pure, and only Emperor Gaozong of Tang can be worthy of me."

"Wu Mei, what nonsense are you speaking!"

Emperor Xuanzong's face changed drastically.

Wu Zetian did not shy away from Emperor Xuanzong's gaze, "Your Majesty, my current body is the purest, and no one can touch it, not even Your Majesty!"

"Is that so? I refuse to believe it!"

Emperor Xuanzong said, attempting to struggle to hug Wu Zetian.

But as he looked up at Wu Zetian, he was struck by the divine glow on her face, bouncing back heavily.

This time, his expression finally changed, "Wu Mei, what is happening? Why can't I see your face?"

"This is the power of the Soul Imperial Spring, I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm no longer your beloved concubine!"

Wu Zetian said seriously.

"Very well, very well..."

Emperor Xuanzong let out a bitter laugh.

Originally, as emperor, he possessed supreme power, and any woman he fancied would count it as a blessing.

But now, he had fallen to such a state.

He let out a long sigh, "Never mind, this is my fate."

"Your Majesty, you need not be sorrowful, for I and Emperor Gaozong of Tang can rescue you!" Wu Zetian paused, speaking seriously, "Our Great Tang world has entered a Blessed Cave Mansion Heaven, and in a Dharma Eye, there lies the entrance to the Celestial Demon. Emperor Gaozong of Tang is cultivating the Power Seal, and once perfected, it can seal the Celestial Demon and also slay the Celestial Demon King."

"But the Power Seal requires me to trigger it with my body. So I and Emperor Gaozong of Tang can slay the Celestial Demon and rescue Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, excitement flashed in Emperor Xuanzong's eyes, "So you're saying you and Li Zhi can rescue me? That's great!"

In an instant, Emperor Xuanzong forgave Wu Zetian and Li Zhi for their affair.

Compared to life, Wu Zetian and Li Zhi's affair was truly trivial.

Now, the most important thing was to get out of here alive.

Perhaps only Wu Zetian and Li Zhi's Power Seal could rescue him, so Emperor Xuanzong looked very expectant.

"Mistress, I'll go check the surroundings."

Yang Tian said lightly, then slipped out.

He did not tell Emperor Xuanzong that Li Zhi was actually dead, but none of it mattered, as Yang Tian's goal was to fulfill his master's last wishes.

Finding himself outside, Yang Tian began to explore his surroundings.

He frowned.

He could feel that in each of the cells lay many humans who, though weak, were still alive. To Yang Tian's surprise, these humans had no energy fluctuations whatsoever.

In other words, were these humans recently captured by the Celestial Demon?

This was the Celestial Demon Domain, where an ordinary human could not survive for even a hundred years.

The only possibility was that these humans had been captured and imprisoned by the Celestial Demon.

So, why did the Celestial Demon capture so many humans?

Thinking of this, Yang Tian wanted to investigate further, but at this moment, Wu Zetian's thoughts came through, "Disciple, what did you find out? Come back quickly, we need to think of a way to rescue Wu Yue, and then take Emperor Xuanzong back."

With a swoosh, Yang Tian returned to the cell.

Landing on the ground, he opened his mouth to say, "Outside, many humans are imprisoned. I cannot immediately locate Wu Yue, only know that she is among them!"

"Many humans? Besides Wu Yue, there are other humans?"

Ling Ying asked in puzzlement.

"Many humans, at least over ten thousand!"

Yang Tian stated.

"What's going on? Why does the Celestial Demon imprison so many humans?"

Wu Zetian asked.

Yang Tian remained silent, shaking his head.

At this moment, Emperor Xuanzong suddenly spoke, "Those outside are not humans, but Celestial Demons transformed."

"What? The ones imprisoned outside aren't humans? They're Celestial Demons transformed?"

Hearing Emperor Xuanzong's words, Wu Zetian was shocked.

"That's right, the Celestial Demon King transformed fifty thousand Celestial Demons into humans."

Emperor Xuanzong said.

Wu Zetian's face changed, "Fifty thousand Celestial Demons transformed into humans? What are these Celestial Demons planning? Why do they transform into humans? Do they intend to use human bodies to enter the human world?"
