Chapter 1031 - 1032: The Saint Emperor's Intentions
Swish swish~
Many gazes fell upon Saint Potian. Revealing a meaning of horror, on ordinary days, Saint Potian was such an arrogant person, and his identity terrifying, wherever he went he was the focus of all attention, dazzling and unparalleled. But now, he lowered his proud head.
Since Saint Potian apologized, Duandao naturally wasn't a petty person, let alone the fact he wouldn't embarrass a junior, furthermore, now that Haotian Sect and his companions were in danger, it's best to avert danger if possible.
Thus, Duandao spoke: "Since Saint Emperor has appeared, I, Duandao, am naturally not someone who would hold grudges against a junior!"
"Since that's the case, it's all the better!" In the void, Saint Emperor revealed a smile like a spring breeze and said: "Previously it was my Holy Capital's fault, if time allows, I'll personally visit Celestial Capital to see the Celestial Emperor and apologize in person!"
What?
The Saint Emperor wants to visit and apologize in person, wouldn't that damage royal dignity?
Upon hearing, many were terrified, a dignified Great Emperor, what a hero, that would visit to apologize, how could it be, moreover, as an Emperor, even if he did make a mistake, he should persist, he shouldn't lower his head to apologize?
Of course, this was just something Saint Emperor said for appearances.
Subsequently, Saint Emperor continued: "In a few days, it will be the day of my Holy Capital's sealing ceremony, I hope Sword Venerable will stay in my Holy Capital for a few days to admire our endless majestic mountains and rivers!"
"Since the Saint Emperor said so, I, Duandao, naturally will humbly accept!" Duandao said blandly.
"That's very good!" Saint Emperor nodded, then waved his sleeve grandly and said: "Everyone, disperse!"
As the voice fell, the huge face image in the void gradually became transparent, finally disappearing into the heavens and earth, as if it never came, but everyone knew, the Saint Emperor indeed came, and ordered the proud Saint Potian to apologize personally.
"Your luck is really good!" At this moment, Mo Qingfeng spoke to Duandao blandly: "Otherwise, I'm afraid this would be your burial place, Duandao!"
"Speaking of which, it's quite laughable, four Martial Venerables besiege Duandao alone and still have the nerve to speak boldly here, what face do they have?" Little Jiu glanced at Mo Qingfeng, if Little Jiu still had Divine Emperor's power, he would directly kill this shameless old guy.
Upon hearing, Mo Qingfeng's face revealed a cold intention and said: "This is a Martial Arts-respected world, there are no rules at all, if you must blame, only blame Haotian Sect for inciting public wrath!"
"No need to discuss anything with you vermin!" Duandao snorted coldly and then left with the Haotian Sect people, as they walked away, Saint Potian, Zai Lingyun, and others' expressions were gloomy.
Especially Saint Potian, feeling very discontent, that is the Heaven-breaking Stele, such a powerful Divine Weapon, how can it be taken away so easily? Could the Saint Emperor willingly give away Holy Capital's object?
...
In the secluded courtyard.
After Duandao and others arrived at their residence, everyone gathered in the living room, naturally, everyone had doubts, as they all wanted to know how Ye Qingcheng managed to control the Heaven-breaking Stele, and effortlessly, even able to withstand Martial Venerable experts.
Subsequently, Di Yun asked Ye Qingcheng: "Qingcheng…"
"Are we familiar?" Ye Qingcheng interrupted directly, making Di Yun's expression become awkward, then he smiled indifferently and said no more, but in his eyes, there remained a thread of greed, after all, the Heaven-breaking Stele was truly powerful, pretending not to want it was a lie.
However, Ye Qingcheng didn't care about Di Yun's thoughts, she spoke to Duandao: "Uncle, do you believe Saint Emperor's words?"
"What do you mean?" Duandao's eyebrow furrowed slightly, and Ye Qingcheng said coolly: "Do you think Saint Emperor would really willingly give away the Heaven-breaking Stele?"
Ye Qingcheng felt that the matter was not so simple, and she knew very well what a powerful Divine Weapon the Heaven-breaking Stele was, anyone would be reluctant to give it away.
"I think, Saintess is overthinking!" Di Tian stepped forward and spoke to Ye Qingcheng: "Saint Emperor is an Emperor, since he said this, undoubtedly he won't go back on his words, moreover, he said it before all the heroes under heaven, if he regrets, where would his face be?"
"If the obvious doesn't work, wouldn't he resort to hidden means?" Little Jiu gave Di Tian a look that made Di Tian pause: "You dare speak to me like this?"
"Don't put on airs in front of me!" Little Jiu too was unceremonious: "Outside, everyone knows you are the useless Prince, probably you can only press others with your status?"
"You…"
"Enough, stop talking!" After Duandao snorted coldly, he looked at Ye Qingcheng and continued: "No matter if Saint Emperor is false or sincere, we have to wait until the sealing ceremony to leave!"
Duandao knew well, if Saint Emperor was insincere, even if they wanted to leave now, it wouldn't be possible, moreover, they would be said to not know good from bad, if that's the case, Saint Emperor could impose a baseless crime on them to control them.
"I understand!" Ye Qingcheng slightly nodded, then entered her room and closed the door for cultivation.
...
Holy Capital Imperial Palace.
At this moment, a middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back in the palace hall, his eyes were deep, and between his eyebrows revealed a kingly spirit, upon closer examination, his face was exactly the same as the projection in the void just now.
Yes, this person was none other than one of the five Great Emperors who ruled over endless land and rivers of the Holy Capital, the Saint Emperor.
"Saint Emperor!" At this moment, a guard entered the Imperial Palace Hall and spoke to the middle-aged man: "Prince Potian has a matter to discuss!"
"Let him in!" Saint Emperor said, seemingly having already anticipated.
Then, the middle-aged man withdrew from the palace.
After a short time, Saint Potian stepped into the Imperial Palace Hall and spoke to Saint Emperor: "Father!"
"I know what you want to ask!" Saint Emperor said.
"Father knows?" Saint Potian paused, and Saint Emperor continued: "You're truly muddled, doing this makes people think that the Holy Capital's royal family is untrustworthy?"
Upon hearing, Saint Potian's face was quite unsightly, but he couldn't help but say: "But the Heaven-breaking Stele…"
"I know!" Saint Emperor interrupted and continued: "I ask you, even if the Heaven-breaking Stele is in front of you, can you activate it? Can you control the stele?"
Uh?
Upon hearing, Saint Potian was stunned, he truly hadn't thought so much, when Ye Qingcheng revealed the stele, he only knew how terrifying it was, a Supreme Divine Weapon that was hard to come by, now hearing Saint Emperor say this, it seemed to be the case.
Even if possessing the stele, can one activate it? Otherwise, it wouldn't be kept on Celestial Mountain in Holy Capital for ten thousand years.
"Father's meaning!" Saint Potian asked.
"At least know the method to activate the Heaven-breaking Stele, otherwise it's just a stone stele, you understand?" Saint Emperor said blandly, how could he let Holy Capital's object be taken away so easily, he only did this to know the Heaven-breaking Stele's command.
