Chapter 900 901: The Consequences Are Unbearable
Haotian's words naturally aren't without reason. Once he accepts this imperial decree and fails to present the person, does he really have to fabricate one out of thin air? This is not the type of person Haotian is. He conducts himself openly and honestly. How could he possibly do such a despicable thing?
Moreover, who is the Celestial Emperor? He is the Martial Emperor who controls the Celestial Capital, a figure who commands the wind and clouds. Would he not be able to see through it?
Once revealed, the situation will become even larger. When that time comes, Haotian will truly not be able to deal with the repercussions.
"Absurd!" War Venerable snorted coldly, "It seems the Celestial Emperor has allowed you to lead Haotian Sect for too long. Now you even dare not accept the imperial decree!" War Venerable snorted coldly, "Are you trying to rebel?"
"I am loyal to the Celestial Emperor, as can be testified by heaven and earth, daylight and moonlight. Where is the notion of rebellion coming from? What is your purpose in placing such a heavy accusation on me?" Haotian's voice resounded, "My conduct is upright. If I say Haotian Sect does not have a secret disciple named Xiao Tianyu, then we do not. How can you ask me to accept such a decree?"
As he spoke, Haotian was full of righteousness and remained intact and dignified.
"Uncle Hao!" At this moment, Di Xin's beautiful eyes flickered, "Is Uncle Hao really intent on shielding this person?"
"Princess, you exaggerate!" Haotian looked at Di Xin and continued, "You bring the decree to personally take the person. How can I, Haotian, not show respect? However, Haotian Sect does indeed not have this person. You can return and report to the Celestial Emperor. If the Celestial Emperor insists, I, Haotian, will atone with my death!"
Haotian's words were powerful and resonated within Di Xin's eardrums, causing her to be suddenly stunned. Could it be that Haotian Sect truly does not have Xiao Tianyu? If so, where did this person come from?
However, at this moment, a middle-aged figure stepped through the air and swiftly landed on the martial stage. This middle-aged man wasn't anyone else but the one in charge of the registration at the entrance.
Subsequently, the middle-aged man bowed to Haotian, "Sect Leader!"
"What is it?"
"Someone took the jade pendant bestowed by His Majesty to register at Haotian Sect. This matter is quite significant. I think it's better for the Sect Leader to decide personally!" The middle-aged man whispered to Haotian.
"What did you say?" Hearing this, Haotian expressed shock, "What is his name?"
"Xiao Tianyu!"
Bang~
Upon hearing this, Haotian stumbled suddenly, almost landing sitting on the ground. What, Xiao Tianyu, could it really be this coincidental?
Currently, the person Di Xin and War Venerable are looking for is named Xiao Tianyu, right? And now Xiao Tianyu has registered with Haotian Sect, moreover, carrying the Celestial Emperor's jade pendant. It's quite the coincidence.
Of course, what frightens Haotian more is that jade pendant, since Xiao Tianyu came with it, holding it means seeing the Celestial Emperor, indicating Xiao Tianyu's identity is anything but ordinary.
Just for the jade pendant alone, even War Venerable should not offend him, right?
"Sect Leader, are you alright?" The middle-aged man asked involuntarily upon seeing Haotian stumble. Haotian waved his hand and softly whispered, "It's nothing. You go arrange it. Let him choose from the Seven Peaks, understand?"
The Seven Peaks, let him choose?
What kind of privilege is this? Haotian Sect's Seven Great Peaks are places for nurturing core disciples, and now allowing him to choose among them shows what a great honor this is. Ultimately, it's because of that jade pendant.
"Understood!" After whispering, the middle-aged man slightly bowed to Di Xin and then left the main peak.
After the middle-aged man left, Haotian debated with Di Xin and War Venerable for another half an hour.
Seeing no resolution, Haotian snorted coldly, "Haotian Sect has someone named Xiao Tianyu, but he is not as you say, a secret disciple of Haotian Sect. He is currently at the registration office being arranged, so he is just a new disciple who came to register!"
"A new disciple?" Hearing this, both War Venerable and Di Xin were taken aback, but they did not care much. Whether a new disciple or a secret disciple, as long as the person is found.
So War Venerable spoke to Di Xin, "Princess!"
"To the registration office!" Di Xin shouted elegantly. In the Celestial Palace, she suffered humiliation, so how could she let it go easily? Even if she doesn't want Xiao Tianyu dead, at least she needs to regain her dignity.
"Wait!" At this moment, Haotian turned to War Venerable and said, "I advise you not to provoke him, the consequences are too much for you to bear!"
Uh?
Upon hearing this, both Di Xin and War Venerable were stunned. Consequences too much for us to bear?
One is the most favored minister of the Celestial Emperor, the other is the Princess of the Celestial Capital. Now someone tells them the consequences are too heavy for them to endure? That is simply a huge joke.
So War Venerable snorted coldly, "It seems that you, the Sect Leader of Haotian Sect, have an appreciation for talent again, but if you want to save Xiao Tianyu, can you find a more credible reason?"
"I've said what I can, believe it or not, that's up to you!" Haotian snorted coldly, his kindness misunderstood as worthless, what could he do? He certainly couldn't say Xiao Tianyu was the one holding the jade pendant?
"Did the sun rise from the west today?" Di Xin smiled lightly, full of satire. She is inherently proud, and now someone speaks of unintended consequences, naturally it further provoked her arrogance.
Then, after casting a mocking glance at Haotian, Di Xin said to War Venerable, "Let's go!"
"Yes, Princess!"
Buzz~
The whirlwind arose, and eight Great Demons flapped their large wings, pulling the phoenix carriage, starting to roar, sweeping across the void.
As the departing phoenix carriage was seen, Haotian shook his head helplessly, "Come here!"
"Sect Leader!" A disciple stepped forward.
"Where is Ye Qingcheng?"
"Returning to the Sect Leader, she is in seclusion cultivating the technique given by Sect Leader, afraid it will take a while to emerge!" The disciple said.
"What about Chi Zhongtian?"
"Guarding Junior Sister!"
No wonder the Princess came but Chi Zhongtian didn't show up. Haotian whispered to himself. He was well aware Chi Zhongtian brought Ye Qingcheng to Haotian Sect, establishing great merit. The Celestial Emperor intends to fulfill his promise by marrying Di Xin to Chi Zhongtian.
But in this way, it seems Chi Zhongtian has focused all his attention on Ye Qingcheng.
Little did they know, they are not from the same world at all.
...
Meanwhile.
At this moment, Xiao Tianyu and his group had already entered Haotian Sect's outer sect, with Xiao Jiu tagging along behind.
And so far, quite a number of disciples have passed the test and successfully been admitted to Haotian Sect, filling their hearts with excitement. Among them were Di Lanshan, Long Haochen, and the shoulder-length haired goddess.
Now, as Xiao Tianyu walked past the outer sect, he looked around like a curious baby at the outer sect's buildings and discovered that there really is no martial stage at Haotian Sect's outer sect.
What troubled him more was that not only is there no martial stage, but the buildings stood in rows, quite similar in appearance to Huaxia's university teaching buildings on Earth, giving Xiao Tianyu the feeling that this is not the world's number one sect, but seems like just another school.
