Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1046 1047: The Celestial Emperor’s Heart

"What, Xiao Jiu is back?" Liu Yan showed a hint of curiosity as well. "Isn't today the coronation ceremony in the Holy Capital? Why did he come back? Could it be that others have also returned?"

"You're asking me? Who should I ask then?" Xiao Tianyu rolled his eyes at Liu Yan, lifted his foot to leave, seemingly uninterested in such matters, while Liu Yan walked over to Xiao Jiu.

At this moment, Xiao Jiu appeared quite smug.

Especially under the gaze of those beauties, it was simply a kind of enjoyment for him. Haha, today I am finally the main character, not that boss. It's time for you to step aside from the spotlight.

Xiao Jiu felt gleeful in his heart.

A rather lovely young girl, with beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Jiu, spoke, "Xiao Jiu, why are you back so early? Has the coronation ceremony in the Holy Capital ended?"

"What ending, it hasn't even started yet!" Xiao Jiu became even more smug. People wanted to hear more, but there was no continuation, causing many to glare at Xiao Jiu—does this bastard have to keep us hanging like this?

So, the girl continued to ask, "How come you returned if it hasn't started yet? Are you sure you're not bluffing?"

"The Saint Emperor is dead, how could it start?" Xiao Jiu unexpectedly uttered these words.

What?

The Saint Emperor is dead?

Many people rolled their eyes at Xiao Jiu, clearly not believing it. One of the Five Emperors, what kind of person is he? How could he die so easily? Besides, an Emperor is the peak in the Immortal Realm, who can kill him?

Then, Long Haochen spoke, "Xiao Jiu, can't we stop bragging?"

"Exactly, what's the point of bragging?" Someone echoed, many nodded in agreement. The Saint Emperor would die? What kind of international joke is that?

However, Xiao Jiu seriously said, "Believe it or not!"

Then Di Xin spoke, "Then tell us, how did he die!"

"Of course, he was killed!"

Afterwards, Xiao Jiu recounted everything that happened in the Holy Capital from start to finish, causing the whole scene to explode. What, the Saint Emperor is really dead, and he was killed by a mysterious masked youth? Moreover, the mysterious youth had forcefully saved Ye Qingcheng from the Saint Emperor.

In that case, aren't the other Four Emperors no match for the mysterious youth?

Who is he?

Now, all the men and women began to fantasize about the true face of the mysterious youth. It's a joke—having such a powerful presence in the Immortal Realm, and he is still young; how can it not evoke imagination?

Especially those girls from the Outer Sect, they were completely lovestruck, thinking that the face beneath the mask must be very handsome, right? And even the Heaven-breaking Stele that the Five Emperors couldn't shake was shattered under this mysterious youth's foot.

But what shocked people even more was that this person went for Ye Qingcheng, so what kind of background does Ye Qingcheng have?

Immediately, a disciple spoke, "From what you say, doesn't Ye Qingcheng's background seem even scarier than that of the Princes?"

"Indeed!" Xiao Jiu nodded and continued, "I fear that from now on, no one in the Immortal Realm would dare touch Ye Qingcheng!"

Damn, having such a powerful person standing behind her, who would dare to act? Unless they were tired of living.

Little did they know, this was not necessarily good news for Ye Qingcheng. If the entire Immortal Realm feared her threefold, how could Ye Qingcheng still train outside in the future? Wherever she goes, those prodigies might not dare to take action against her.

Soon, this matter stirred up huge waves throughout the Haotian Sect. Previously, everyone only knew about the Five Emperors in the Immortal Realm, but the mysterious youth descended from the sky, killed the Saint Emperor with a wave, and finally, everyone in the Haotian Sect knew what it meant to be beyond human and higher than heaven.

…

At the Seven Peaks' main peak of the Haotian Sect.

"Broken Sword, what did you say? The Saint Emperor is dead?"

At this moment, all the Seven Peaks people were equally shocked. They never imagined that on the day of the coronation ceremony, an Emperor would fall.

"That's right, I saw it with my own eyes. At that time, the Heaven, Demon, Jiuxian, and Ming Emperors, all five Emperors gathered in Holy Emperor City!" Broken Sword said.

"For what?" Hao Tian asked.

"The Heaven-breaking Stele that breaks a stele!" Broken Sword replied.

Heaven-breaking Stele?

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, obviously having heard the rumors about the Heaven-breaking Stele.

Then, the Peak Master of Broken Sword Peak spoke, "The Heaven-breaking Stele isn't a Divine Artifact; at most it can only test one's talent. Why would the Five Emperors gather in Holy Emperor City for it? Could it be that there is some other secret within the Heaven-breaking Stele?"

With these words, everyone's eyes turned to Broken Sword, revealing a look of expectation.

Broken Sword spoke, "Indeed, and our Sect Saintess Ye Qingcheng broke all records and directly reached the summit. By chance, she obtained the 'Celestial Stele Technique' and used it to control the Heaven-breaking Stele..."

Broken Sword similarly explained the cause and effect completely, causing those present to stir up a storm in their hearts, even Hao Tian was no exception. They didn't know what stood behind Ye Qingcheng.

But they knew, Ye Qingcheng's background would make even the Five Emperors wary, and the Saint Emperor was the best example, and with the fall of a Great Emperor, they believed it would inevitably stir up a storm in the Immortal Realm soon.

"Where is Ye Qingcheng?" At this time, Hao Tian looked at Broken Sword, and Broken Sword responded, "As soon as she returned, she went into closed-door cultivation, but she seems unaware of the Holy Capital affair, and probably doesn't know the identity of the mysterious youth either!"

"No matter what, let her come to see me!" Hao Tian spoke, clearly wanting to get some useful information from Ye Qingcheng. The reason is simple: he is very clear that the Celestial Emperor's ambition can't be obliterated by this event.

After all, ruling over the Immortal Realm is the Celestial Emperor's lifelong wish.

…

In the vast and deep palace of the Celestial Capital.

At this moment, in a pavilion within the deep palace, the Celestial Emperor sat there, his brow furrowed deeply, apparently unable to let go of what happened in the Holy Capital. After all, Xiao Tianyu's strength directly affected his plan to unify the Immortal Realm.

"Celestial Emperor, why are you so troubled?" The Empress across from him finally couldn't hold back and asked.

The Celestial Emperor replied, "He is too strong!"

"Who?" The Empress expressed confusion.

The Celestial Emperor continued, "Xiao Tianyu!"

Buzz~

As these words came out, the Empress's mind buzzed, her face showing shock.

Then, her beautiful eyes fixed on the Celestial Emperor and asked, "He is the mysterious masked youth? Celestial Emperor, are you mistaken!"

Currently, the Empress found it hard to believe it was all true, which also let her know why the Celestial Emperor treated Xiao Tianyu with such respect; his cultivation far surpassed that of the Celestial Emperor.

What's even more amusing is that she, the Empress, once foolishly wanted to imprison Xiao Tianyu in the Celestial Prison, with plans to execute him. She thought she had the capability, and if it weren't for the Celestial Emperor's timely intervention, the one who would have died might have been she, the Empress.

"No mistake!" The Celestial Emperor nodded, "Under the heavens, only he cares about Ye Qingcheng's life!"
