Chapter 907 908: The Celestial Emperor's Thoughts
Snap~
A sharp sound followed by a scream, and then a bloody arm soared through the air. The dignified War Venerable had his arm torn off by Xiao Tianyu, who then flung the War Venerable to the ground.
"Aren't you going to thank your brother for not killing you?" The Celestial Emperor snorted coldly. If Xiao Tianyu wasn't mindful of him, losing an arm would be the least of the War Venerable's worries.
Upon hearing this, the War Venerable's expression turned stormy, but there was nothing he could do; circumstances were stronger than men, and he had to bow his head.
Thus, he knelt down: "Thank you, Young Master Xiao, for sparing my life!"
"Get lost!" Xiao Tianyu snorted coldly. Just as the War Venerable was about to exit the hall, the Celestial Emperor snorted: "Stop!"
"Celestial Emperor!" The War Venerable covered his large wound with his right hand and addressed the Celestial Emperor: "Celestial Emperor, do you have any other instructions?"
"If today's events spread out, I will not forgive you, understand?" The Celestial Emperor snorted, his authority unwavering.
"I understand!" The War Venerable's expression was unpleasant.
"Step down!" The Celestial Emperor commanded.
But it's no surprise, things are no longer peaceful in the Five Cities Immortal Realm. Therefore, he didn't want the other four Immortal Kingdoms to know that the Celestial Emperor has two Emperors. The reason is simple: the Celestial Emperor does not want to become the enemy of the four cities.
It's well-known that there are five Emperors in the vast Immortal Realm. Now, with one more in the Celestial Capital, can you imagine how severe it would be if this spread out? Having one more Emperor is equivalent to having one more Immortal Kingdom.
After the War Venerable left the hall, the Celestial Emperor turned to Di Xin: "You may also leave!"
After speaking, the Celestial Emperor's gaze finally fell upon Xiao Tianyu: "Since my brother has personally come to the Celestial Capital, as the host, it is only right for me to welcome him. Moreover, as his elder brother, I must repay the life-saving grace he bestowed upon me five years ago!"
The Celestial Emperor was right. Five years ago, in a divine miracle, Xiao Tianyu indeed saved him.
It should be known that a miracle is a relic left by gods, and its dangers are certainly extraordinary. Even Martial Emperors who enter it face mortal peril, though opportunities coexist with dangers.
Without danger, where is the opportunity?
During that event, the Celestial Emperor was trapped in a divine battle array, unable to escape. If not for Xiao Tianyu passing through the battle array in the miracle, the Celestial Emperor might still be trapped.
Because of this, Xiao Tianyu found the Celestial Emperor to be forthright and stalwart, and they became brothers.
"The past is behind us, elder brother need not mention it again. Besides, now that we are brothers, speaking like this is being too distant!" Xiao Tianyu smiled slightly.
"Brothers? Well said!" The Celestial Emperor let out a hearty laugh: "Indeed, you and I are brothers and shouldn't be so polite. It's me, the elder brother, who was being distant!"
"But brother, at such a young age, you are already an Emperor, commanding a domain. In the future, your Martial Arts Cultivation will surely surpass your elder brother's, and one day, you might ascend beyond!" The Celestial Emperor spoke with a smile.
"Elder brother is flattering me!" Xiao Tianyu also laughed heartily, while the Celestial Emperor continued: "I wonder what level of cultivation my brother is at now? Perhaps it's already above your elder brother!"
The question seemed to carry a hidden meaning, but Xiao Tianyu didn't think much of it and responded with a smile: "For five years, my cultivation has made no progress!"
"Could it be that my brother hasn't been cultivating for the past five years!"
"There are too many things to handle, so my cultivation has been neglected!" Xiao Tianyu said.
"Hahaha~ It seems my brother has too many worldly matters!" The Celestial Emperor laughed: "But it's no surprise, brother, you've created such a vast enterprise at a young age, spreading across the Immortal Realm, even busier than me!"
The Celestial Emperor could say this because he knew everything about Xiao Tianyu.
Then the Celestial Emperor continued: "We brothers haven't seen each other in five years, let's have a drink!"
"Alright!" Xiao Tianyu nodded. The two left the Emperor's Palace and walked toward the rear garden, quickly arriving at a pavilion where they had sat before. Soon, a dozen graceful palace maids brought out fine wine and delicacies.
After three rounds of wine, the Celestial Emperor put down his cup and spoke with a slight smile: "This time my brother visited the Celestial Capital, I fear it's not just to see me?"
"Yes!" Xiao Tianyu nodded: "For someone!"
"Ye Qingcheng?" The Celestial Emperor was quite insightful, knowing that Ye Qingcheng was also from Earth.
"Correct!" Xiao Tianyu didn't conceal: "Ye Qingcheng is the chosen one, destined to be extraordinary. However, she's too proud, so I must curb her arrogance!"
"I see!" The Celestial Emperor laughed heartily, seemingly unconcerned. He continued: "In other words, my brother is here to protect Ye Qingcheng!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu changed the subject: "I toast to my elder brother!"
"Good!" The Celestial Emperor nodded, raised his cup, and drank it all in one go, in his deep eyes, a trace of color flashed and disappeared, unnoticed by Xiao Tianyu.
After drinking for another three hours, Xiao Tianyu finally stood up and left, with the Celestial Emperor personally arranging for someone to escort Xiao Tianyu outside the palace, returning only after reporting back.
"Has he left?" The Celestial Emperor spoke softly to the one who reported, and the person nodded: "Yes!"
"Step down!" The Celestial Emperor uttered softly, and after the person departed, the Celestial Emperor's figure flickered and disappeared from the pavilion in the rear garden, drawing a trail across the sky, its destination unknown.
...
Venerable Prince's Mansion.
At this moment, the Venerable Prince's Mansion was shrouded in a heavy pressure, causing fear in the hearts of its people, yet they dared not speak.
The reason was clear: they saw that the dignified War Venerable of the War Venerable Prince's Mansion had lost an arm.
"Father, what happened?" The Prince addressed the War Venerable, perplexed. Today, the War Venerable had gone to avenge Lu Li personally, but upon returning, he had lost an arm.
"Don't mention it again, step back!" The War Venerable snorted coldly.
"Father!"
"I told you, step back!" The War Venerable snorted, his face radiating authority, making the Prince's expression grim.
"It seems Old Lu is still upset!" At this moment, a voice from outside the hall caused the War Venerable's heart to tighten, and he immediately stood up. The others also turned their gaze, seeing a middle-aged man stride into the hall.
The Celestial Emperor personally came to visit the War Venerable, a favor that was unparalleled!
Indeed, the newcomer was the Celestial Emperor.
"Greetings, Celestial Emperor!"
"Greetings, Celestial Emperor!"
"..."
Instantly, everyone in the hall knelt down with respect. It's a joke; the Celestial Emperor personally arrived, how could they not kneel? Besides, the Celestial Emperor was here to favor their family.
"Old Lu, you're injured. Please get up quickly!" The Celestial Emperor bent down and helped the War Venerable up personally. The Celestial Emperor continued: "I have mentioned before that Old Lu need not be so ceremonious when seeing me. Perhaps Old Lu is still angry with me?"
"I dare not!" The War Venerable stood up and gestured to the others in the hall: "Serve the tea!"
"Yes!" The Prince left respectfully.
The War Venerable continued: "Celestial Emperor, please take the seat!"
Upon hearing this, the Celestial Emperor nodded and directly sat at the main seat, and soon the Prince personally brought tea, signaling everyone in the hall to leave.
Quickly, only the War Venerable and the Celestial Emperor were left in the vast hall.
The Celestial Emperor picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said: "In the Emperor's Palace, I was also forced by circumstances!"
"I know!" The War Venerable nodded and replied: "But..."
"Speak openly!"
"Alright!" The War Venerable nodded and continued: "Two tigers cannot inhabit one mountain, and now the Celestial Capital has two Emperors. I'm afraid the Celestial Emperor's position may be unstable, not to mention Xiao Tianyu is so young..."
Bang~
Before the War Venerable could finish, the Celestial Emperor's cup shattered, spilling tea all over the floor, causing the War Venerable to tremble: "Forgive me, Celestial Emperor!"
"Get up!" The Celestial Emperor snorted coldly.
