Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1047 1048: Surrounded by Fools

In the past, the Celestial Emperor believed that even if he was not as skilled in cultivation as Xiao Tianyu, he was not far off, but ever since Xiao Tianyu saved Ye Qingcheng with a mere gesture and then killed the Saint Emperor in the Holy Capital, he realized that Xiao Tianyu's cultivation far surpassed his own.

Moreover, he was very certain that the masked youth in the Holy Capital must have been Xiao Tianyu.

Now, he even feels powerless, as his ambition to unify the Immortal Realm seems to be turning into an illusion. But is he willing to give up? Naturally not. Since he is unwilling, he must eliminate Xiao Tianyu.

As for the Empress, seeing the slight disappointment in the Celestial Emperor's expression, she naturally believed his words. After all, she has been married to the Celestial Emperor for many years and has never seen him so distressed.

Furthermore, she knows the Celestial Emperor well. Dominating the Immortal Realm is his inevitable goal, yet now, out of nowhere, emerges the unfathomable Xiao Tianyu. How can the Celestial Emperor be at ease?

As long as Xiao Tianyu exists, he remains an essential person that influences the whole situation for the Celestial Emperor.

Then, the Empress asked, "What should we do? Is the Celestial Emperor going to abandon the grand plan of ruling the Immortal Realm?"

"Abandon?" Upon hearing this, a cold gleam flashed through the deep eyes of the Celestial Emperor: "After so many years of planning, how can I just abandon it?"

"Then what do you propose?"

"Eliminate Xiao Tianyu!"

"What?" The Empress cried out in surprise: "Didn't you say that Xiao Tianyu's strength is far above yours? How will you eliminate him, and what if you're unsuccessful? It could cost you your life. So I think it's better to give up. Besides, it seems Xiao Tianyu's ambition doesn't lie in the Immortal Realm. In my opinion, it would be better to..."

"No matter whether he stays in the Immortal Realm, as long as he's not dead, I can't feel at ease in my position!" The Celestial Emperor spoke with killing intent: "To be the supreme ruler, one's strategy and martial arts must be the best in the world. With him here, the title of 'first' will not be mine!"

What the Celestial Emperor said seemed not unreasonable, for as long as Xiao Tianyu existed, he would remain uneasy, and what if one day Xiao Tianyu coveted the position of Celestial Emperor? Therefore, in the Celestial Emperor's view, Xiao Tianyu must be eliminated.

"Celestial Emperor, your words are misguided!" The Empress looked at the Celestial Emperor and said: "Even if Xiao Tianyu is dead, the Immortal Realm still has the Demon Emperor, Jiuxian, and the Ming Emperor. Will these three be willing to hand over their realms for you to dominate? Moreover, how would you go about eliminating Xiao Tianyu?"

"I have my ways!" The Celestial Emperor replied, filled with cold intent: "Summon!"

As his voice fell, an old eunuch entered the pavilion and kneeled in salute: "Greetings to the Celestial Emperor and Empress!"

"Enough with the nonsense!" The Celestial Emperor snorted coldly: "Go and bring War Venerable and Sky Venerable to me!"

"Yes!" The old eunuch nodded and retreated.

Not long after, two venerable figures arrived at the pavilion, respectfully saluting, while the Celestial Emperor glanced at the Empress, who wisely departed.

"You may rise!" After the Empress left, the Celestial Emperor gestured, and the two responded in unison: "What does the Celestial Emperor require of us?"

"Deliver these three letters to the Demon Capital, Ming Capital, and the Jiuxian Immortal Capital, and ensure they are handed directly to the hands of the three Great Emperors!" The Celestial Emperor looked at War Venerable and Sky Venerable, his voice unwavering, causing the two to glance at each other, puzzled by his intentions.

Then, War Venerable stepped forward and asked: "Celestial Emperor, I fear this..."

"No need to ask more!" The Celestial Emperor waved a hand, War Venerable hesitated, sensing the cold aura emanating from the Celestial Emperor. After they departed, the Celestial Emperor's expression turned a bit more solemn.

"Yuan Ying!" The Celestial Emperor called.

"Here is your loyal servant!" The old eunuch entered the pavilion and saluted the Celestial Emperor.

The Celestial Emperor continued: "Carry my decree and visit the Haotian Sect; summon Haotian to meet me!"

"Understood!" The old eunuch nodded, while the Celestial Emperor added: "Remember, it must be a secret meeting!"

Upon hearing this, the eunuch's eyes flickered with surprise, but he did not inquire further, knowing that Sacred Intent was not to be questioned, only obeyed.

...

Outer Sect of Haotian Sect.

Currently, in Haotian Sect's Outer Sect, the shocking news of the Saint Emperor's fall understandably continues to be discussed repeatedly. What a jest, one of the five Great Emperors of the Immortal Realm, the Saint Emperor, such a figure has fallen, how could this news not cause a sensation?

Of course, the hottest topic remains that mysterious youth with a mask.

Where did this person come from? It was mysterious!

Why did he slaughter the Saint Emperor for Ye Qingcheng? It was even more baffling. Perhaps he has an inseparable relationship with Ye Qingcheng.

Anyway, in summary, Ye Qingcheng's background is quite terrifying.

However, Xiao Tianyu never pays any mind to the various speculations from the outside world.

Xiao Tianyu's dormitory.

Bam bam~

Xiao Tianyu was holding a phone, playing games, when the sound of knocking came, making Xiao Tianyu's face look annoyed. These people are really bothersome.

Pop~

Before Xiao Tianyu could answer the door, the dormitory door was opened from outside, and Xiao Jiu and Long Haochen happily burst into the room.

Long Haochen was alright, but Xiao Jiu had a hint of smugness on his face.

"Boss, boss..."

"Shut up!" Xiao Tianyu's voice cooled, making Xiao Jiu dumbfounded. Can't I just boast a little? And isn't the Boss curious about the fall of the Saint Emperor? Surely, the Boss doesn't know what I was about to say, hence he told me to shut up. It must be so.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jiu said again: "Boss, do you know that Saint..."

"Isn't it just an Emperor's fall? What's there to make a fuss about?"

Oh my! The Boss knows? Has the Boss's news been so well-informed? That's not right. Long Haochen just said earlier that the Boss has been in the dormitory all along, so he shouldn't know about this, no?

Xiao Jiu felt a bit confused.

He originally intended to use this news to flatter Xiao Tianyu, but unexpectedly, Xiao Tianyu already knew.

Thus, Xiao Jiu looked at Xiao Tianyu suspiciously: "Boss, how do you know?"

"Damnit, because I'm the one who killed the Saint Emperor, of course, I would know!" Xiao Tianyu gave Xiao Jiu a sideways glance, causing Xiao Jiu and Long Haochen to silently disdain him. The Boss started bragging again.

Boss, is there any point to boasting like this? It's not like none of us know each other.

Thinking this, Long Haochen tugged on Xiao Tianyu's sleeve, snickering: "Boss, people used to say, mountains aren't piled up; the sea isn't urinated. Before, I didn't understand what this phrase meant, but now I understand!"

"Long Haochen, could you not talk so cryptically? I'm expressing my cluelessness here!" Xiao Jiu showed a puzzled look on the side: "How are mountains formed? How does the sea gather?"

"Of course it's just inflated!" Long Haochen gave Xiao Jiu a sideways glance, and said, aren't you supposed to be a reincarnated Divine Emperor? And you only have this brain capacity?

Ah, being with a fool like this really lowers my intelligence!
