Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1007

This gave Di Yun even more realization that this is a perfect opportunity to topple the Empress.

Then, Di Yun spoke to the Celestial Emperor: "Father, currently Xiao Tianyu is not at Haotian Sect!"

"Where is he?" the Celestial Emperor asked.

"Probably in the Royal Celestial Prison, but I fear he is undergoing the Empress's punishment!"

"What did you say, the Empress?"

"Exactly!" Seeing the shock in the Celestial Emperor's eyes, Di Yun seized the opportunity and continued, "Today at Haotian Sect, the Empress personally descended and ordered Lin Congyun to escort Xiao Tianyu back. Does Father not know about this?"

"Outrageous, this Empress is too outrageous!" The Celestial Emperor roared, his eyes blazing with furious anger. He still needs Xiao Tianyu to help him conquer the world, and now the Empress has overstepped her bounds, acting on her own accord, and imprisoned Xiao Tianyu?

Moreover, the Celestial Emperor knew very well that Xiao Tianyu spared the Empress out of respect for him; otherwise, not even ten Empresses would be enough for Xiao Tianyu to kill, let alone imprison him.

"Calm down, Father!" Di Yun advised.

He was clever and did not question Xiao Tianyu's identity, because he understood one principle, if the Celestial Emperor wants to speak, he doesn't need to be asked. If he doesn't speak, asking would be pointless, and might even incur the Celestial Emperor's displeasure.

"Calm down, my foot!" The Celestial Emperor cursed, continuing, "Does the Empress not know that Xiao Tianyu carries my imperial granted Jade Pendant? Seeing the Jade Pendant is like seeing me!"

"She knows!" Di Yun fanned the flames, continuing, "The Empress completely disregarded that Jade Pendant. She plans to act first and report later. But Father shouldn't overly blame the Empress; after all, Eldest Brother is her only son, and it's normal for her to be overprotective!"

Di Yun fanned the flames from the side, still pretending to defend the Empress, which was his cleverness, thereby increasing his standing in the Celestial Emperor's eyes.

"This Empress dares ignore my granted Jade Pendant, what does she want? Does she wish to take my throne?" The Celestial Emperor's anger continued, and a voice was heard outside the hall: "Old Qing, enter the hall!"

As the voice fell, Old Qing sauntered into the grand hall, bowing respectfully to the Celestial Emperor, "Celestial Emperor, what are your orders?"

"Take my decree, go to Haotian Sect and bring back the Empress, have her wait for me outside the prison!" The Celestial Emperor's voice was ominous, leaving Old Qing bewildered. The Empress is a mother figure to the nation, waiting at the prison is considered very inauspicious.

Thus, Old Qing couldn't help but ask, "Great Emperor, this…"

"If I tell you to go, just go!" After saying that, the Celestial Emperor tossed a decree, which Old Qing picked up and immediately left the hall, while the Celestial Emperor turned to Di Yun, continuing, "Yun'Er, go to the prison and bring Lin Congyun to me!"

"Yes, Father!" Di Yun nodded, exited the hall, his heart equally filled with shock and also joy, for the development of events far surpassed his expectations.

...

The Royal Celestial Prison is located underground at the south gate of the Imperial City, built a hundred meters deep underground, further enveloped by a terrifying Rune Array that even a super expert at the Martial Venerable level cannot break.

Therefore, once imprisoned, even a Martial Venerable shouldn't dream of escaping the prison.

At this moment, the prison housed numerous raggedly dressed criminals, all with a 'prisoner' symbol seared onto their chests, and every time someone passed through the prison corridor, these prisoners would start wailing like ghosts.

As for Xiao Tianyu, he was locked in the cell at the very end of the second row, and Lin Congyun had not left.

As for Xiao Tianyu, wearing shackles on both hands, sat indifferently in the center of the cell, as if in his eyes, the cell was his home, and it didn't feel like imprisonment at all.

Seeing this, Lin Congyun outside the cell was very annoyed and coldly snorted, "Xiao Tianyu, don't be complacent, when the Empress returns, it will be your time to die!"

"I fear it's not me but you who will die!" Xiao Tianyu's face remained calm as always.

"Me, die?" Lin Congyun sneered, "Facing the end, still boasting shamelessly, I want to see how I die!"

After speaking, Lin Congyun was about to turn and leave, but several terrifying auras suddenly locked onto him, making his heart tighten, what's happening?

Buzzing sounds~

At this moment, three figures descended from above the prison. The leader was the Second Prince Di Yun, and the two behind him were middle-aged, both emanating formidable Martial Emperor Peak auras.

Seeing this, Lin Congyun immediately stepped forward to salute, "Greetings, Second Prince!"

"Arrest him!" The Second Prince directly ordered, making Lin Congyun extremely shocked and immediately questioned, "May I ask the Second Prince, what crime have I committed?"

"What crime?"

The Second Prince gazed coldly at Lin Congyun, knowing the Lin Family supported Di Tian and had a very good relationship with the Empress, naturally taking no pity as he said, "Ignoring the Celestial Emperor's bestowed item, isn't this crime enough?"

Stunned.

Lin Congyun was utterly stunned; he knew well enough what it meant to ignore a bestowed item. But he didn't expect Di Yun to use this as an excuse to arrest him.

Then Lin Congyun spoke, "This was the Empress's order, do you mean to say you even disregard the Empress?"

"The Empress can hardly protect herself!" Di Yun sneered, "Arrest him!"

"No…" A dreadful aura spread over Lin Congyun's body, and Di Yun indifferently said, "Do you dare to counter-arrest?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Congyun was dumbfounded, how could he dare to counter-arrest, that would be self-destruction and even implicate his family, so he said with a sullen face, "I don't dare!"

"I wish you dared to counter-arrest!" Di Yun said indifferently.

Subsequently, the two Martial Emperors behind Di Yun personally stepped forward and seized Lin Congyun, shackling him, leaving Lin Congyun's face filled with despair because he realized the Empress couldn't protect him.

Meanwhile, Di Yun's beautiful eyes turned to Xiao Tianyu, saying, "Someone, unlock the shackles for Brother Xiao!"

"Yes!"

"No need!" Xiao Tianyu said indifferently, "I find this place rather pleasant!"

"Brother Xiao, you jest!"

Di Yun's face showed flattery, no longer harboring past hostility, because through this matter, Di Yun knew well the position Xiao Tianyu held in the Celestial Emperor's heart, perhaps even seeking help from Xiao Tianyu in future struggles for dominion.

"Scram!" Xiao Tianyu directly snorted dismissively, giving no face to Di Yun.

"Impudent, how dare you speak to the Second Prince this way!" A Martial Emperor snorted angrily.

The next second: "Whap~"

Di Yun slapped the Martial Emperor dumb, making the Martial Emperor utterly stunned as Di Yun spoke, "You are truly bold to speak to Brother Xiao that way, do you not wish to live?"
