It's not just the Haotian Sect.
Now the entire Imperial Palace is also in turmoil, and the reason is none other than the Celestial Emperor's command for the War Venerable to bring news of the Eldest Prince, which has completely spread throughout the palace. Especially when Princess Di Xin heard this news, her shock was beyond words.
This made Di Xin even more aware of the weight Xiao Tianyu held in her father's heart.
In the past, she said Xiao Tianyu was unworthy of her and even humiliated Xiao Tianyu in the restaurant, using Lu Li to trample on Xiao Tianyu's dignity. She never imagined that not only did Xiao Tianyu cripple one of Lu Li's arms with just a lift of his hand, but even her own father had no way to deal with Xiao Tianyu.
Now hearing that the Celestial Emperor captured Di Tian because of Xiao Tianyu, and summoned the Empress to wait for him in the Celestial Prison, this made Di Xin realize that the Celestial Emperor's authority was irresistible, and Xiao Tianyu's authority was equally undeniable.
Even a royal bloodline cannot afford to provoke Xiao Tianyu.
At this mont, in the Grand Hall of the Imperial Palace.
Presently, the Grand Hall had no other people but the Celestial Emperor and the Second Prince Di Yun, as this matter concerned the royal family, and the Celestial Emperor did not wish for outsiders to be present.
Outside the hall, the War Venerable brought Di Tian into the hall, saluting, "Great Emperor, Eldest Prince brought!"
"Father!" Di Tian knelt down on both knees.
"Rebellious son!" the Celestial Emperor shouted angrily, "Do you know what kind of trouble you have caused? Why can't you learn from your second brother, how can I entrust the kingdom to you in the future? You've really disappointed !"
"Father, I don't understand why father is so angry!" Di Tian expressed his innocence, continuing, "I have already had an arm crippled by that Xiao Tianyu, not even granting
justice. Why treat
this way?"
"You dare say so?" the Celestial Emperor snorted coldly, "Crippling your left arm was Xiao Tianyu showing rcy for my sake, otherwise your life would be gone, yet you dare to speak nonsense here!"
"Father!" At this mont, Di Yun interjected, "Elder brother's actions are not wrong, after all, he did it for the royal dignity, moreover the elder brother has already paid the price. In my view..."
"Di Yun, stop pretending!" Di Tian stared at Di Yun coldly, "Right now, the happiest person is probably you. Are you satisfied now?"
But Di Yun smiled nonchalantly, "Elder brother, why say that? We are siblings, and I am truly thinking of your benefit!"
"Thinking of my benefit, how laughable!" Di Tian crossed his arms, revealing a cold smile, while the Celestial Emperor shouted angrily, "Di Tian, in my view you are beyond saving. If you had half the tolerance of your second brother, today's incident would not have occurred!"
"Father, I did nothing wrong; I was defending the royal dignity!" Di Tian explained.
"Defending royal dignity by killing innocents, framing Xiao Tianyu? Defending royal authority by ignoring the Jade Pendant I gave to Xiao Tianyu? Thankfully, Xiao Tianyu showed rcy for my sake and did not pursue the matter, otherwise, how many lives would you have?"
Upon hearing this, not only did Di Tian's heart tremble, but even Di Yun's heart jolted. Was Xiao Tianyu's background really that terrifying? Even the Celestial Emperor couldn't deal with him?
What exactly stands behind Xiao Tianyu?
Certainly, they could not imagine that Xiao Tianyu was a terrifying figure who, despite his young age, ascended above all. Thus, the Celestial Emperor showed such respect to Xiao Tianyu. Di Yun thought Xiao Tianyu might have so unknown background, and it was powerful enough that even his father did not dare to easily confront Xiao Tianyu.
Then, Di Tian spoke up, "I don't understand!"
"What don't you understand?"
"I don't understand why father fears that Xiao Tianyu, and even allows him to challenge royal authority..."
"Silence!" the Celestial Emperor snorted coldly, "Do not bring this matter up with
in the future, just know that you must stay far away from Xiao Tianyu!"
After speaking, the Celestial Emperor continued, "After you heal, personally go to the Haotian Sect, and offer a sincere apology to Xiao Tianyu!"
Offer a sincere apology?
Upon hearing this, Di Tian was bewildered that he, a prince, had to offer a sincere apology to an outsider like Xiao Tianyu, and even go to the Haotian Sect? If this matter were to spread, how could Di Tian face others, and continue cultivating at the Haotian Sect?
Standing next to the Celestial Emperor was Di Yun, however, who revealed a deep smile to Di Tian, causing him to grit his teeth in anger.
Nevertheless, Di Yun began to advise, "Father, offering a sincere apology might be too severe, right?"
"Severe?"
"If Xiao Tianyu forgives him, it is not severe; if not, even offering a sincere apology would not suffice!" the Celestial Emperor snorted coldly, turning to the War Venerable, "War Venerable, escort the Eldest Prince for treatnt!"
"Yes!" the War Venerable nodded, continuing, "Eldest Prince, please!"
After leaving the hall, the Eldest Prince spoke to the War Venerable, "Senior, why is it like this, why does father..."
"Eldest Prince, heed my advice, for now, do not provoke Xiao Tianyu. Believe , you will eventually have the opportunity to exact revenge; a real man should not be bothered by a little ti." the War Venerable advised.
The War Venerable himself harbored resentnt towards Xiao Tianyu, as his beloved grandson Lu Li had his arm crippled by Xiao Tianyu. Would he forget this grievance? It's just that Xiao Tianyu could not be acted against at this ti.
Furthermore, the War Venerable believed that soday, the Celestial Emperor would find Xiao Tianyu unbearable.
...
Not long after the War Venerable and Di Tian left the hall, Qingtian Hong entered, saluting the Celestial Emperor, "Greetings to the Great Emperor!"
"Returned?"
"Reporting to the Great Emperor, the Empress is at the Celestial Prison entrance, awaiting the Celestial Emperor's decision!" Qingtian Hong was equally puzzled why the Celestial Emperor would be so furious over Xiao Tianyu.
"You may withdraw!" The Celestial Emperor waved his hand, and after Qingtian Hong left the hall, the Celestial Emperor said to Di Yun, "Yun'Er, co with
to the Celestial Prison!"
"Yes, father!" Di Yun nodded, then the two left the hall, heading towards the Celestial Prison.
At the entrance of the Celestial Prison.
At the Celestial Prison entrance, many armored guards were stationed, as the prison held many criminals, and so of them were notably powerful, thus it beca a significant location.
At this mont, the Empress stood at the entrance, her expression serious. Up until now, she could hardly believe all this was true. That the Celestial Emperor would have her, a dignified Empress, wait at the prison gate.
Moreover, to her, the Empress, the Celestial Prison was an inauspicious place.
Soon enough, two figures appeared in the air, none other than the Celestial Emperor and Di Yun. Upon their arrival, Di Yun stepped forward to salute, "Your child greets mother!"
Upon hearing this, the Empress glanced at Di Yun dismissively, showing no interest, and the disdain in her eyes was evident. Di Yun was not her son but born of a concubine, thus she held no affection.
Then, the Empress saluted the Celestial Emperor, "I greet the Celestial Emperor!"
