"The Celestial Stele Technique" is fake?
Many people in the hall seed to realize sothing. Since the Celestial Stele is not controlled by the Saint Emperor, then the Celestial Stele Technique that Ye Qingcheng just recited so fluently must be fake. Otherwise, why would the Celestial Stele remain so calm?
Of course, would she, Ye Qingcheng, be so foolish? She was rely testing the Saint Emperor, and it turned out as expected. After obtaining the Celestial Stele Technique, the Saint Emperor was going to kill to silence, sparing no one, not even the important ministers of the Holy Capital, raising a hand for slaughter.
The Saint Emperor was rely curious about how Ye Qingcheng managed to activate the Heaven-breaking Stele, without a hint of greed?
Yet now? She, Ye Qingcheng, casually recited a set of formulas and tested the Saint Emperor's intentions.
If what Ye Qingcheng recited was the true Celestial Stele Technique, then perhaps she would already be a dead person right now.
Subsequently, the Saint Emperor's expression turned cold and he glanced at Ye Qingcheng in his grasp, snorting coldly: "You actually dared to give
a fake Celestial Stele Technique. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
"As an Emperor, if you were to kill , naturally I have no way to escape, but you will never be able to activate the Celestial Stele!" Ye Qingcheng's voice was neither humble nor overbearing, causing the Saint Emperor's expression to turn unsightly for a mont. He coldly said: "What do you want in exchange for handing over the true Celestial Stele Technique?"
"It's very simple, release all the people of the Haotian Sect, otherwise, don't even think about obtaining the Celestial Stele Technique!" Despite her life being under threat, Ye Qingcheng remained outstanding in deanor, fearless of any life and death.
"Fine, I agree with you, but you must first hand over the Celestial Stele Technique to !"
"Do you think I'm a fool?" Ye Qingcheng's voice was cool. Handing over the Celestial Stele Technique would an the people of the Haotian Sect still have life to leave? Then, Ye Qingcheng continued: "I will stay as a hostage, release them, that way you should be assured, right?"
"Saintess!" Duan Dao exclaid in shock; he had not expected Ye Qingcheng would rather sacrifice herself to ensure the safety of the Haotian Sect, while Ye Qingcheng looked at Duan Dao: "Uncle Master, no need to say more, I am a Saintess, I should do all this, moreover, the Saint Emperor will not let
go!"
"This..." Duan Dao shook his head, aware of how important Ye Qingcheng was, yet Ye Qingcheng waved her hand: "No need to say more, my mind is made up!"
Saying that, Ye Qingcheng's beautiful eyes looked at the Saint Emperor, indifferently saying: "Let them go!"
"Alright, I hope you will not deceive !" The Saint Emperor snorted coldly, as long as Ye Qingcheng was still here, he wasn't afraid. Even if releasing Duan Dao and others didn't affect anything, in his view, as long as he obtained the Celestial Stele Technique, the Five Capitals would be under his reign.
"Saint Emperor, it seems the longer you live, the more despicable you've beco!" At this mont, a voice ca from the void into the hall. Swish, swish, swish~ Everyone's gaze passed through the door and looked toward the endless void, only to see three figures step on clouds and co swiftly, landing on the Imperial City tower in a re blink.
Buzz~
In an instant, an overwhelming imperial might unfolded, enveloping the entire Imperial City. The middle-aged man leading them had eyes filled with majesty, his aura not weaker than the Saint Emperor.
"It's Father!" Di Tian couldn't help but voice out, his heart thrilled; his father had co right in ti.
Indeed, the person who arrived suddenly was the Celestial Emperor along with two sovereigns.
Soon, under the gaze of all, the Celestial Emperor, alongside War Venerable and Support Sovereign, strolled into the Imperial City. Witnessing this, the expressions of both the Saint Emperor and Saint Potian turned unpleasant.
They knew well that with the Celestial Emperor's arrival, coercing Ye Qingcheng into handing over the Celestial Stele Technique would not be simple.
However, the Celestial Emperor's arrival led the Demon Emperor, Zai Lingyun, and others to think secretly that their Emperor should be arriving soon.
Then, the Celestial Emperor spoke to the Saint Emperor: "Holy Brother, what do you an by openly capturing my Haotian Sect's Saintess? Moreover, as everyone knows, today is your Holy Capital's grand ceremony. The Haotian Sect's Saintess and my two sons are here to represent my intent, offering congratulations; therefore, they are guests of your Holy Capital. Is this how Holy Brother treats guests?"
"…" Hearing this, the Saint Emperor was at a loss for words for a mont, his expression unpleasant. After so ti, he managed a smile and spoke: "Perhaps Brother Emperor has misunderstood!"
"Misunderstood?" The Celestial Emperor gazed at the Saint Emperor and asked plainly: "What misunderstanding is it, please explain, if the Haotian Sect is at fault, I will certainly have them offer three bows and nine kowtows, lowering their heads to admit fault!"
Despite the Celestial Emperor's indifferent words, the hint of imperial might in his deanor was unmistakable. After all, Ye Qingcheng was still held by the Saint Emperor, which was a clear disrespect to the Celestial Emperor.
If Ye Qingcheng's life wasn't threatened, the Celestial Emperor might have directly clashed with the Saint Emperor, even if the outco ant neither could defeat the other.
And the Saint Emperor boldly spoke: "For a thousand years, everyone knows the Heaven-breaking Stele is our Holy Capital's possession. Now your Haotian Sect's Saintess wishes to take the Heaven-breaking Stele away; how can my Holy Capital's dignity be preserved?"
"Seems Holy Brother's words are mistaken!"
The Celestial Emperor's expression remained indifferent as he continued: "My son Di Yun has already clarified everything in a letter. He ntioned that your son Saint Potian stated, as long as Ye Qingcheng could take the Heaven-breaking Stele away, she may take it away. Or is the dignified Holy Capital's Crown Prince but a liar without integrity? Furthermore, I also rember you, Holy Brother, saying Ye Qingcheng may take the Heaven-breaking Stele away. Or are your words empty promises? If so, Holy Brother might beco the laughingstock of the world!"
The Celestial Emperor's words were precise and coherent, leaving the Saint Emperor unable to refute.
Then Saint Potian spoke: "Though speaking so, the matter involves the Holy Capital's possession, and I fear it requires careful deliberation by us in the Holy Capital. After all, the Heaven-breaking Stele is the Holy Capital's treasure, not sothing one can just take away!"
"So you refuse to release my Haotian Sect's Saintess?" Suddenly, the Celestial Emperor's gaze grew cold, he continued: "Do you know the implications of your actions?"
"Are you threatening ?" The Saint Emperor's expression also grew icy, but the Celestial Emperor continued: "This isn't a threat, but a warning. If you provoke that person, your Holy Capital might face an unavoidable disaster!"
Having said that, the Celestial Emperor continued: "At that ti, the rumor will beco reality—'As long as the Celestial Stele remains, the Holy Capital remains; if the Celestial Stele disappears, the Holy Capital will perish!'"
"Ridiculous, among the Five Great Emperors of the Immortal Realm, I am one. By what right do you claim to be able to kill ?" The Saint Emperor's voice carried a hint of cold killing intent, yet the Celestial Emperor retorted coldly: "I may not have the ability to kill you, but there is soone, if he acts, you will surely fall, consider your options well!"
The Celestial Emperor's words pressed hard step by step because he knew, Xiao Tianyu ca to the Immortal Realm for a reason, precisely to protect Ye Qingcheng. Now a dignified Emperor would lower his status to deal with a Martial Immortal Third Layer like Ye Qingcheng. Therefore, the Celestial Emperor knew it would certainly anger Xiao Tianyu.
In the sa realm, if soone were to kill Ye Qingcheng, Xiao Tianyu would not intervene; but if a powerful Emperor bullied Ye Qingcheng, the Celestial Emperor believed Xiao Tianyu would surely beco enraged.
