324 Give Soone a Taste of Their Own dicine
30 miles east of the Iron City.
The desolate wilderness was pitch-black under the night sky. The wind blew hard, but only the thin sand and dust fluttered weakly.
In this desolate wilderness, the real Chen Tianqi was sitting cross-legged on a large rock. Fluttering Cloud was moving with the wind ethereally. His malicious gaze landed sowhere in front of him, as if he was carefully sizing up sothing, or he was just in a daze.
After an unknown period of ti, Chen Tianqi suddenly sensed sothing and turned his head to look in a direction. He saw a thin figure slowly walking over from the wilderness.
!!
He walked over slowly with his hands behind his back, looking indifferent.
“It’s him?”
Chen Tianqi’s eyes widened as an ominous feeling surged in his heart.
Fluttering Cloud, which was fluttering in the wind, surged up and instantly wrapped around Chen Tianqi. The fabric that looked like fog was stacked layer by layer. Although it was still only a thin layer like a cicada’s wing, it was the toughest armor in the world!
At the sa ti, the thin figure walked closer.
His elegant facial features and ragged clothes made him look like a scholar who had lost his way at night. However, such a harmless-looking person made Chen Tianqi reveal a nervous expression as if he was facing a great enemy.
The two of them faced each other silently from more than ten steps away. Apart from the sinister look on their faces, their appearances were almost the sa.
“Xuan Wushang…”
Chen Tianqi stared fixedly at the scholar-like person in front of him. Even though he was trying his best to control himself, his voice was still trembling. “How did you co out?”
“I ca out when I wanted to.”
Xuan Wushang replied with a faint smile, “You don’t really think that place can confine , do you?”
Chen Tianqi’s entire body was hidden behind Fluttering Cloud, but one could still see his eyes darken. “Since it can’t confine you, why did you wait until now to co out?”
“I’ve been on the throne for many years and have worked hard for the Great Yong Dynasty. It’s not easy for to have a chance to rest, so I naturally have to seize it.”
Xuan Wushang replied with a smile, his tone revealing a hint of slyness, “Besides, you didn’t do anything evil. Even if you occasionally do sothing for your personal gain, it’s understandable—”
At this point, Xuan Wushang paused for a mont and looked at Chen Tianqi with approval. “In short, you did a good job. In so aspects, you’re even more qualified than as an emperor.”
Hearing the words “in so aspects”, Chen Tianqi suddenly revealed a puzzled expression. It was not because he did not understand, but because he felt that it was impossible for Xuan Wushang to know those things.
After all, those things were planned and carried out by Chen Tianqi alone. Even Sun Ge, who had joined forces with him, did not know about it. Xuan Wushang had been imprisoned for 13 years. How could he know about his doings?
“I must be thinking too much!”
Chen Tianqi thought to himself. At the sa ti, he added, “Since you’re so well-inford, you should know that I won’t do anything to harm the Great Yong Dynasty.”
“I know that I’m a criminal and will be punished severely, but Your Majesty, on the account that I’ve worked hard for the Great Yong Dynasty for many years, please give more ti!”
“Hmm…”
Xuan Wushang pondered for a mont before revealing a helpless expression. “I’m afraid I can’t.”
When Chen Tianqi heard this, his eyes darkened. After thinking for a mont with a complicated expression, he asked again, “If I kill myself here, can Your Majesty agree to one request of mine?”
“Is it about the Iron City?”
Xuan Wushang saw through Chen Tianqi’s thoughts. Then, he changed the topic. “Your ability is not bad. Compared to that insignificant matter, why don’t you join forces with and plan a grand plan for the Great Yong Dynasty?”
“Great plan?”
Chen Tianqi revealed a puzzled expression again, but an ominous feeling surged in his heart. Although he couldn’t figure out the reason, from Xuan Wushang’s words, it seed that he really knew what he had done!
“Am I really thinking too much?”
A trace of doubt arose in Chen Tianqi’s heart. Thinking of the consequences of being exposed, his eyes gradually beca determined.
Even if there was only a one in a million chance of being exposed, Chen Tianqi did not dare to take this risk. There was only one way to solve this problem…
Without any hesitation, the mont he made the decision, the gauze around Chen Tianqi imdiately surged!
It was as if endless white gauze was blooming layer by layer like a lotus flower. The corners of his clothes were like sharp fangs in the mouth of a monster, devouring Xuan Wushang’s figure easily!
A bone-chilling sound ca from inside the gauze.
Chen Tianqi watched silently with a gloomy expression. He knew that after killing Xuan Wushang, he would have to live as the emperor for the rest of his life, but compared to the goal he pursued, this sacrifice was nothing.
“Your Majesty, I didn’t want to hurt you, but you blocked my way…”
Chen Tianqi muttered to himself softly, but before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed. The white gauze covering Xuan Wushang suddenly exploded, and then it actually retreated the way it ca.
The sudden turn of events made Chen Tianqi’s expression freeze. He subconsciously focused his attention on trying to control Fluttering Cloud, but he realized that Fluttering Cloud, which was under his control, did not listen to his command.
“What’s going on?”
Chen Tianqi couldn’t help but roar. Extre panic occupied his heart, and he didn’t even realize that his voice was extrely hoarse!
“It’s very important to know your place in life.”
Xuan Wushang’s indifferent voice sounded.
Chen Tianqi subconsciously turned his head and saw that Xuan Wushang, who had been “swallowed” by Fluttering Cloud, was still standing there unscathed.
Seeing Chen Tianqi’s shocked expression through the gauze, Xuan Wushang’s face revealed a hint of mockery. “Fluttering Cloud is a royal treasure. Who do you think it will listen to?”
Chen Tianqi stared fixedly at Xuan Wushang, his eyes gradually turning from confusion to fear.
The two of them looked at each other silently from more than ten steps away. It was as if they had returned to the ti when they first t. However, the armor that protected Chen Tianqi back then had already beco a cage that imprisoned him.
