What Haochen said is completely true: Haotian Sect is indeed the most unique place in the Celestial Capital, specifically established to train geniuses for the Celestial Emperor. Without the Celestial Emperor's permission, even high-ranking ministers of the court cannot enter casually.
The War Venerable looked at Haochen and said, "Since we've co, it's naturally by the Celestial Emperor's decree. We are here by the Emperor's command to take the Eldest Prince to see the Celestial Emperor, so you'd better stand aside!"
"What did you say, take away the Eldest Prince?" Haochen was slightly shocked. Even the six other peaks were puzzled, as the Eldest Prince is seriously injured; shouldn't healing be the priority?
"Indeed!" The War Venerable nodded. "I wonder if the Eldest Prince is in Dragon Flower Hall!"
"He is recuperating!" Haochen replied.
"Then please have Sect Leader Haochen stand aside!" With that, the War Venerable led his group straight to Dragon Flower Hall. Haochen spoke up, "The Empress is currently in Dragon Flower Hall; does the War Venerable not care at all?"
"The Empress might find it hard to protect herself!" The War Venerable spoke casually, stepping toward Dragon Flower Hall, and the Peak Masters of the six peaks, upon hearing this, each displayed a bewildered look.
The Peak Master of Broken Sword Peak faced Haochen and asked, "Sect Leader, what does the War Venerable an by this?"
"Go and see!" Haochen followed suit toward Dragon Flower Hall, and the other Peak Masters quickly followed, soon entering Dragon Flower Hall.
However, as they just stepped into Dragon Flower Hall, they heard the Empress speak, "War Venerable, you are quite bold; do you an to disregard even , the Empress?"
"Empress, calm your anger!" The War Venerable replied to the Empress, "We are under the Celestial Emperor's command, here to take the Eldest Prince to see the Emperor. With a royal decree upon us, it cannot be disobeyed, so we ask for the Empress's understanding!"
Though those were his words, there was no sign of respect on the War Venerable's face.
"Insolence!" The Empress roared, with an air of authority spreading, her cold eyes fixed on the War Venerable. "Do you know what you are doing?"
"The Eldest Prince has only himself to bla for provoking soone he shouldn't have!" The War Venerable's voice turned cold; following the Emperor's mandate, he naturally feared no offenses towards the Empress. He snorted coldly, "Take him away!"
Stunned.
At this mont, the Empress was utterly bewildered. She was the Empress, revered across the realm, wielding imnse power; when had she ever imagined the War Venerable would show her no respect?
The Empress wasn't the only one stunned; even Haochen and others were puzzled by the aning behind all this, especially upon hearing the War Venerable's ntion of the Eldest Prince provoking soone he shouldn't have. Their hearts were filled with shock.
Who in the whole world could the Eldest Prince not provoke?
Thinking back, in recent days, the Eldest Prince seemingly only offended Xiao Tianyu; could it be because of Xiao Tianyu? Whether it is or isn't, it seems Haochen and others have realized that the Celestial Capital is about to change dramatically.
"I am the Eldest Prince, the future Crown Prince. How dare you... release !" Lying in bed, Di Tian also couldn't believe any of this was real, while the War Venerable looked at the Eldest Prince, saying: "Sorry, imperial decrees cannot be disobeyed, we ask for the Eldest Prince to understand!"
With that, the War Venerable continued to say, "Take him away!"
"How dare you!" The Eldest Prince shouted angrily.
Upon hearing this, the Martial Emperors turned their gaze to the War Venerable. After all, Di Tian's status was esteed, but the War Venerable snorted coldly, "Didn't you hear? Take him away!"
"Yes!" Several Martial Emperors nodded, with one speaking to Di Tian: "Eldest Prince, please bear with it!"
Saying so, the Martial Emperors lifted the Eldest Prince's body and walked out of Dragon Flower Hall. Seeing this, the Empress was thoroughly shocked; it was her first ti witnessing soone daring to take her precious son away in her presence.
"Mother!" Di Tian scread, causing the Empress's face to turn pale, her gaze coldly fixed on the War Venerable: "I won't let this matter rest!"
However, just as the Empress finished speaking, another group entered Dragon Flower Hall, led by none other than Qingtian Hong, patriarch of the Qing Family. Upon seeing this, the Empress felt a glimr of hope: "Elder Qing, save my son!"
"Empress!" Qingtian Hong's expression was grave, then he bowed to the Empress: "Greetings, Empress!"
Qing Cang supported the Eldest Prince, and naturally, the Qing Family was also supporters of the Eldest Prince's faction. But now, the Celestial Emperor ordered him to escort the Empress to the Celestial Prison's gates to await the Emperor, and the imperial decree cannot be defied.
"I order you to save my son!" The Empress snorted coldly.
"Forgive , Empress!" Qingtian Hong replied to the Empress: "We are here under the Celestial Emperor's decree to invite the Empress back; we ask for your understanding!"
"What did you say?"
"Empress, this is the Celestial Emperor's decree!" With that, Qingtian Hong took out the Celestial Emperor's decree from his bosom and presented it to the Empress. Upon receiving it, the Empress's face instantly changed; she was the Empress and not foolish, understanding that although on the surface it was an invitation, it was actually an arrest, rely considering royal dignity.
"Tell , how did it co to this?" The Empress asked Qingtian Hong.
"I'm not too sure of the full facts," Qingtian Hong shook his head; he indeed wasn't sure. The Empress's expression grew even more unsightly: "I am the Celestial Emperor's wife; how can he treat
this way!"
"Empress, please don't make it difficult for your subordinates!" With that, Qingtian Hong made a gesture of invitation: "Empress, please!"
After the Empress and Di Tian left, Haochen and the various Peak Masters couldn't stay calm; what had happened today that even the Celestial Emperor wouldn't give face to the Empress? Was it truly because of Xiao Tianyu?
Moreover, what happened today was indeed montous: taking the Eldest Prince and inviting the Empress away felt as though this matter wasn't finished.
...
Buzzing sounds~
Above the Outer Sect, figures walked through the air in the direction of the Imperial Palace, causing countless Outer Sect disciples to be alard. Soone pointed to the void and couldn't help but say, "Isn't that the Eldest Prince and the Empress?"
"That's not right, where is the Empress's phoenix carriage?"
"Also, the Eldest Prince is seriously injured; it's not suitable for long journeys, right? Why is this happening?"
"..."
One person spoke, and many followed suit, all confused about the situation. Moreover, when the Empress ca, she ascended in the phoenix carriage, quite majestic; when leaving, she unexpectedly flew alone.
"Why do I feel like sothing isn't right?" Xiao Jiu watched the figures leaving through the air, faintly sensing sothing big is about to happen, while Liu Yan's beautiful eyes flashed: "I have the sa feeling, and moreover, the Eldest Prince seems to be escorted, who has the qualification to escort him in the whole world?"
"Instead of worrying here fruitlessly, why not think more about the boss? He's still locked up in the Celestial Prison!" Long Haochen glanced at them, instantly causing Liu Yan's deanor to wilt.
"You jerk, can't you say less?" Xiao Jiu slapped Long Haochen on the head, making Long Haochen indignant but helpless. How could he fight Xiao Jiu, who is now a Martial Immortal?
Thus, Long Haochen showed a hint of grievance: "I'm just speaking the truth!"
"Still talking…" Xiao Jiu raised his big hand, and Long Haochen pulled a pained face, indicating he'd shut up.
