Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 954 - 955: Ignoring the Two Princes

At this moment, in the Imperial Palace Hall, the group from the Haotian Sect had undoubtedly become the focus of everyone in the hall, each of them showing cold indifference, and some even had undisguised killing intent in their eyes.

The Haotian Sect had come this time to quell the turmoil in the Cangye Kingdom, naturally making them enemies in the eyes of these people.

"I presume this is the Peak Master of Broken Blade, one of the Seven Peaks of Haotian Sect!" Just at this moment, the leader of the Great Ming Immortal Sect spoke to Broken Blade. Broken Blade swept his gaze over the speaker and responded: "It's well-known that the Cangye Kingdom is a vassal of our Celestial Capital Immortal Kingdom, yet you, Yang Fan, representing the Great Ming Immortal Sect, have intervened in between. Are you challenging our Haotian Sect?"

"That's not the way to put it!" Yang Fan smiled slightly: "The Cangye Kingdom's Prince Ling Xiao is a disciple of our Great Ming Immortal Sect. He is exceptionally talented, far superior to the Cangye Emperor's children, and Ling Xiao's father holds power over all the military forces in the Cangye Kingdom. Therefore, the Great Ming Immortal Sect believes that someone with ability should occupy the throne of the Cangye Kingdom!"

"It's amusing that a rebel can utter such dignified words!" Broken Blade spoke sharply, without any politeness.

Yang Fan smiled indifferently: "Throughout history, there's never been talk of rebellion, only winners and losers. If one day the Celestial Capital is swallowed by our Great Ming Immortal Capital, would that also be considered rebellion by our Great Ming Immortal Sect?"

"Truly a man full of empty talk!" Di Tian snorted coldly. Yang Fan turned his gaze, seeing Di Tian dressed in prince's robes and spoke: "This must be one of the two princes of the Celestial Capital, right?"

"So what?" Di Tian's gaze was sharp.

Yang Fan calmly said: "I've heard that days ago, a group from the Demon Sect went to the Haotian Sect for a challenge, and the two princes were defeated and had to rely on a woman and an outer sect disciple to save face. It seems the two sons of the Celestial Emperor aren't much. If the Celestial Emperor grows old one day, the kingdom might not be safe!"

Upon hearing this, both Di Tian and Di Yun looked extremely displeased, unable to find a reason to retort. After all, they had indeed been defeated, their reputations sullied.

Yang Fan looked at Ye Qingcheng and continued: "This outstanding woman must be the one who saved the situation for the Haotian Sect that day, now also the Saintess of the Haotian Sect. But unfortunately, she is only in the Supreme Ultimate Realm. Just letting a Supreme Ultimate Realm person be the sect's Saintess, it seems the Haotian Sect really has no one!"

Without waiting for the Haotian Sect members to respond, Yang Fan continued: "I wonder if that outer sect disciple who saved face for the Haotian Sect is here today!"

Swish, swish~

With those words, several Haotian Sect members turned their gaze to Xiao Tianyu, who stood there calmly, as if Yang Fan was not referring to him.

But seeing the Haotian Sect's gaze on Xiao Tianyu, Yang Fan naturally understood that Xiao Tianyu was the chosen son of the heavens who suppressed the Demon Sect days ago.

"She is the chosen one, Ye Qingcheng!" At this moment, someone whispered in Yang Fan's ear, making Yang Fan frown and exclaim inwardly, no wonder she could defeat a Supreme Ultimate Realm person at the Celestial Realm.

However, on orders from Emperor Ming, if she wouldn't be used by him, then she must be killed.

Since that time when the Demon Sect descended upon the Haotian Sect, and Ye Qingcheng represented the Haotian Sect to kill several young talents of the Demon Sect, it made all the Immortal Capitals understand that trying to win over Ye Qingcheng seemed impossible.

Moreover, now Ye Qingcheng was already the Saintess of the Haotian Sect, representing the will of the Haotian Sect, how could she possibly leave it?

However, Yang Fan remained unfazed and continued: "The Haotian Sect has come for the Cangye Kingdom, and now it's a good time to take advantage of this, for the two sects' talented disciples to have a bit of friendly competition. I wonder what Peak Master Broken Blade thinks?"

"What if I refuse?" Broken Blade smiled and responded.

"Refusal, I wouldn't force it, but it does seem like the rumors are right, the Haotian Sect is devoid of talent!" Yang Fan said with an indifferent smile.

"With what you're saying, I can't refuse, can I?" Broken Blade's expression remained calm.

"Since everyone has graced our Cangye Kingdom with their presence, I must let Ling Xiao have a taste of the Haotian Sect's talents, otherwise, it would be a regret for Ling Xiao! " Ling Xiao swept his gaze over all the Haotian Sect disciples and spoke with a smile.

Since Ling Xiao was a secret disciple of the Great Ming Immortal Sect, naturally, his talent needed no further words. Though his words were humble, they were nonetheless a provocation.

He looked at Di Tian and Di Yun and continued: "Since the two princes under the Celestial Emperor have come, I just happen to take this chance for them to witness. If they truly aren't competent, then I shall challenge your outer sect disciple!"

These words were quite insulting, as Ling Xiao didn't put the two princes in his eyes at all. Additionally, it wasn't hard to hear from his words that he treated them as stepping stones to challenge Xiao Tianyu.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the two princes were rather unpleasant, and naturally, they bore deep animosity towards Xiao Tianyu. Had Xiao Tianyu not emerged on the Martial Arts Demonstration Stage of the Haotian Sect that day, how could they have been mocked by Ling Xiao?

"Only by fighting shall we know!" Di Tian snorted coldly, his gaze extremely sharp, and naturally, Di Yun felt the same. As the undefeated legends of the Haotian Sect, having been defeated once, it was a major stain on their lives. Now was the perfect opportunity to cleanse it.

At this time, an elder in a long robe walked towards the Haotian Sect direction and said politely: "Thank you, everyone, for escorting the Princess back to the kingdom!"

This elder was a loyal minister under the Cangye Emperor. With the Cangye Kingdom in such a state, he was powerless, doing what he could, as the Haotian Sect had brought Liu Yan back to the kingdom, naturally, he understood the significance.

"Liu Yan is an outer sect instructor of our Haotian Sect, naturally, she is also a member of the Haotian Sect. Furthermore, as the Cangye Kingdom is a subsidiary of the Celestial Capital, now with someone seizing the throne, naturally it also challenges the Celestial Capital Immortal Kingdom, so you needn't be so polite!" Broken Blade's words were somewhat humble.

Upon hearing this, the elder showed an expression of gratitude: "Then let me thank you first, but with the situation in the Cangye Kingdom unclear, it's likely doomed. If that day truly arrives, I implore you to ensure the Princess's safe departure from our country, even if it's little consolation in the afterlife!"

"You can rest assured on that point!" Broken Blade smiled and replied, continuing: "As the Cangye Kingdom is a vassal of the Celestial Capital, nothing shall happen to it, nor can anything happen to it, otherwise, what face would the Celestial Capital have!"

"Thank you very much!" The elder nodded and walked away.

Soon after the elder's departure, Liu Yan emerged from the inner hall, with faint tear marks still visible in her phoenix-like eyes, clearly having cried.

Immediately, under the gaze of many, she walked directly towards Xiao Tianyu and whispered, "Tianyu, come with me for a moment!"

"What's the matter?" Xiao Tianyu adjusted his brows slightly.

"Don't worry about it!" Liu Yan pulled Xiao Tianyu, leaving the scene. Upon seeing this, Ling Xiao signaled to a young man beside him, who immediately understood and followed them.
