Chapter 1073 - 1074: Haotian's Thoughts
The incident at Tianyu International's entrance naturally couldn't be kept a secret; it spread within just two hours, and the name of Young Master Xiao was being discussed widely in the major venues of the Imperial Capital.
He was even being hailed as a legend.
The Five Emperors of the Immortal Realm were highly revered, impossible to gaze upon even while standing on tiptoes.
However, the events at Tianyu International tonight gave rise to apprehension. While the Five Emperors of the Immortal Realm were sufficiently terrifying, the person known as Young Master Xiao seemed even more legendary. Gu Fengliu, the general manager of Tianyu International and the youngest Emperor in the Immortal Realm, was actually under Young Master Xiao's command.
"Those who dare oppose Young Master Xiao will die!" This statement sent a shocking wave through many hearts, and after the remark was made, he forcefully struck down the Martial Venerable Ninth Layer to obtain the old mother of Lishan, showcasing a splendor unmatched by even the Five Emperors of the Immortal Realm.
It's likely, he leaves others in the dust.
Naturally, the legend of Young Master Xiao stirred up boundless waves in the Haotian Sect as well. Especially after Hao Tian returned from the Imperial Palace, upon hearing this matter, he felt an inexplicable panic.
Right now, how could Hao Tian be unaware of who the person was that the Celestial Emperor mentioned, who rescued Ye Qingcheng from the Saint Emperor's hands?
"So, the person the Immortal Emperor referred to was Xiao Tianyu!"
At this moment, Hao Tian stood in the main hall of the main peak, unable to calm himself. How could an Emperor act as a subordinate? Who else in this world could deserve such status, except perhaps Xiao Tianyu?
Did the Great Emperor make a wise decision with this? It seems the Great Emperor has already been blinded by power.
For even an Emperor to be a subordinate, how strong is Tianyu really? Can an Emperor truly resist?
Now that the world is at peace, yet Hao Tian knows it's merely tranquility before a storm; in reality, the Five Immortal Capitals have already faced turbulent undercurrents. Xiao Tianyu's re-emergence also made Hao Tian aware that the spearheads of the Five Immortal Capitals would point to Xiao Tianyu.
However, Hao Tian was perplexed. Why did the Celestial Emperor have such great confidence? Did he have evidence to be able to eliminate Xiao Tianyu? Could it be that he had already grasped a handle against Xiao Tianyu?
Is this handle truly Ye Qingcheng?
Did Xiao Tianyu appear in Celestial Capital solely to protect Ye Qingcheng?
If the plan fails, what will be the outcome?
A series of questions arose in Hao Tian's heart. As one in power, 'desire' comes first, no doubt about it. Knowing that it couldn't be done, yet insisting on taking the risk, if it fails, might the Immortal Realm undergo a radical transformation.
Alas!
Ultimately, Hao Tian sighed deeply. As a minister, he should relieve the worries of his ruler, having no other choice.
"Master, have you summoned me?" At this moment, a young man in white walked in lightly. Hao Tian turned his back, looked at Murong Bai, and after pondering for a moment, spoke: "Where is Qingcheng?"
"At Tianyu International, but she should be on her way back to the Haotian Sect now. What does Master need Qingcheng for?" Shangguan Bai's eyebrows slightly adjusted in inquire, from his viewpoint, nothing seemed to be happening at Haotian Sect now, why would Qingcheng be needed?
"There are some matters you shouldn't concern yourself with. You are still young, but with great talent, you shouldn't be confined here. Your stage shouldn't be here. Remember, if something happens at Haotian Sect that cannot be undone, leave with haste and always remember your master's advice!" Hao Tian's words continued: "If possible, take Qingcheng with you!"
"Disciple doesn't understand Master's intentions!" Murong Bai was even more confused; why would Hao Tian speak in such a manner?
Little did Murong Bai know that Hao Tian understood more than anyone; if the Celestial Emperor's plans came to fruition, he would not spare Ye Qingcheng first. After all, Ye Qingcheng was divinely chosen, with her identity, the Celestial Emperor's style wouldn't allow a ticking time bomb around?
The best solution would be to eliminate her.
Although the Celestial Emperor promised him, Hao Tian, that once the plans succeeded, Ye Qingcheng wouldn't be troubled, Hao Tian was no fool.
With profound eyes fixed on Murong Bai, Hao Tian spoke: "You'll understand later, but for now, I need you to monitor Ye Qingcheng closely. Try to control her activities and report any abnormalities to me. Don't ask about anything else!"
"Got it!" Murong Bai nodded, refraining from asking more even with lingering doubts in his mind.
Then, Hao Tian waved his hand: "Dismissed!"
"Yes!" Murong Bai stepped out of the hall.
Of course, Murong Bai was indeed very intelligent. From Hao Tian's words, he could sense something unusual; it's just that Hao Tian wouldn't explain, leaving Murong Bai bewildered.
Watching Murong Bai's departing figure, Hao Tian sighed slightly again; the Immortal Realm was about to change.
The Immortal Realm, divided among the Five Capitals, separation inevitably leads to unification, a natural law, which Hao Tian understood as well, but who would be the final winner remains unknown to Hao Tian.
Yet one thing was clear to Hao Tian: no matter who became the final victor, they would not spare the chosen one, thus leaving Hao Tian to do everything he could to protect Ye Qingcheng.
...
Haotian Outer Sect.
The event at Tianyu International's entrance had already spread to the Outer Sect naturally.
And currently, the Outer Sect of Haotian Sect was the most excited area, with many people gathered in the square, all eagerly discussing the matter.
"Oh my goodness, the most sensational figure is in our Outer Sect!"
"Who says otherwise, especially that Xiao Tianyu. No... it should be Young Master Xiao, what a remarkable person; having Emperors as subordinates, does this mean he's the heir of Tianyu International?"
"Since he's called Young Master Xiao, it should be so!"
"So he must be the son of the director of Tianyu International!"
"What else could it be?"
"..."
Many talked eagerly, and in their view, since Tianyu International referred to Xiao Tianyu as Young Master Xiao, he was surely the son of the master of this most mysterious force of Tianyu International.
Even if Xiao Tianyu relied on his father, so what? At least he has someone to lean on.
Of course, the most shocking thing was still Tianyu International. Tianyu International had not been developing for more than five years in the Immortal Realm, yet who would have thought it was so deeply rooted, with powerful Emperors guarding it, and the Emperor himself was a young man under forty.
Thus, how strong is the actual boss behind Tianyu International?
No one believed Xiao Tianyu was the boss of Tianyu International; he was merely someone who leaned on his father.
Someone even recalled that the person who had saved Ye Qingcheng in the Holy Capital and crushed the Saint Emperor with a single gesture was the boss behind Tianyu International, raising curiosity about the relationship between the boss and Ye Qingcheng.
Cultivation System A Class.
When Liu Yan saw the position of Xiao Tianyu, she was immediately annoyed. Every time class was held, this guy would be missing as if the Outer Sect was too shallow to swim for a dragon.
If that's the case, why did this rascal choose the Outer Sect?
Also, even Di Lanshan wasn't present; could they be together?
"Goddess Teacher!" At this moment, Long Haochen rushed into the classroom, seemingly having encountered a major issue, while Liu Yan glanced at Long Haochen: "So reckless, did you find treasure?"
"No!" Long Haochen shook his head, instinctively wanting to say something more, but was interrupted by Liu Yan: "Since you haven't, I ask you, have you found that guy and Di Lanshan?"
"Neither!"
"What!"
Smack~
After the ruler snapped on the table, Liu Yan snorted coldly: "You've been searching outside for so long without finding them? Fine, you can stand outside and attend class!"
