C297 The Emperor of Dawu
The Crown Prince's facial expression changed. He was so angry that he almost stomped his feet. He was threatening Ye Xu right now, and there was an Imperial Decree that rewarded Ye Xu for his meritorious service. Wasn't this slapping his face in front of him?
Besides, this slap had come so quickly and fiercely!
Ying Zhao's eyes were deep and profound. He looked at Ye Xu firmly. He didn't expect that the Emperor would give such an Imperial Decree.
He quickly smiled and said, "Congratulations Brother Ye. It seems that you will be able to make a meteoric rise after getting the recognition of the Emperor."
Ye Xu looked at the two of them.
The Crown Prince looked like a child who was in a fit of anger. His expression was angry, and the arrogance and disdain he had before had all disappeared. His tone was friendly, as if Ye Xu was a good friend that he had known for many years.
The speed at which he changed his face could be compared to that of an actress.
"I dare not call you Brother Ye. You should just call me Ye Xu." Ye Xu had no intention of playing politics with these people. He responded coldly as usual.
Ying Zhao choked. He had already expressed his goodwill, yet Ye Xu still refused to let him go. He said lightly, "Since that's the case, don't waste your time. Quickly follow me into the Palace."
As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly shrank into a black shadow. In the next second, a hand that looked like a black shadow appeared on the chest of the people from Soul Hall and ruthlessly grabbed their necks.
Before they could even scream, dozens of survivors from the Soul Hall had died without even knowing what had happened!
Ye Xu's eyes became profound. Without thinking much, he knew that this must be a trick. He deliberately made it so mysterious, just to warn himself.
The Crown Prince had a surprised look on his face. Then, he became wild with joy and looked at Ye Xu with disdain. With such a powerful backing, how could he be afraid of this brat?!
"Ye Xu, although you came to the palace to receive your reward, don't be too proud of yourself. In the Imperial Palace, even if you are a Reality Breaking Stage warrior, you are nothing!" The Crown Prince's tone was filled with contempt.
Ye Xu didn't want to argue with an idiot. He looked at Ying Zhao and said, "His Majesty wanted me to enter the palace, but he didn't say when. My Profound Dragon Sect has suffered a great loss this time. I will enter the palace after I make the arrangements."
Without giving Ying Zhao a chance to reply, Ye Xu flashed and appeared in front of Ye Qianqian and the others.
In all fairness, Ye Xu didn't want to enter the Palace. Once he entered the Palace, the forces involved would be even more complicated. The Profound Dragon Sect's current strength was not enough to participate in the battles between first-rate forces.
Furthermore, if what Bai Qing said was true, his mother was Princess Ruojun of Great Wu Country. His Majesty was his grandfather. However, the Tian family was ruthless. Ye Xu wasn't clear about what happened that year, and he didn't want to acknowledge this family as his own.
But now, he had no choice but to go.
Ye Xu looked at Ye Qianqian and said, "Qianqian, do you know if Yaoguang and the others are safe?"
The first thing Ye Xu asked was indeed Yaoguang.
Ye Qianqian's heart ached. She bit her lips and said, "That day when Yaoguang went down the mountain, she went to negotiate with Wang Family. I don't know the specific details, but later on, the Wang Family secretly helped the Profound Dragon Sect. Otherwise, in less than three days, Third Prince's army would have gotten rid of the cocoon. There should be Wang Keer's help in this. After that, Yaoguang went to Imperial City, and the news hadn't come back yet. "
Ye Xu's eyes focused. If Third Prince really forced the devil out three days ago, then his foundation would be unstable, and he might really be killed!
"Thank you." Ye Xu's eyes were sincere as he said to Ye Qianqian.
Happiness and peace of mind rushed to his heart. Even the sour feeling disappeared quietly. Ye Qianqian's smile seemed to bloom like a lotus blooming from the water.
"I have to make a trip to the Palace." Ye Xu continued.
Since Yaoguang was also in Imperial City, he had to go this time.
Ye Qianqian nodded and no longer felt sour. She had heard the Imperial Decree just now. Ye Xu's trip this time was a serious matter.
However, she was still worried. Although it was to claim credit, the matters of the imperial family were strange and unpredictable. Everyone wore masks on their faces, and it was hard to tell whether they were real or fake.
Thinking of this, Ye Qianqian said decisively, "You can go with peace of mind. I will take good care of the Profound Dragon Sect. We have a good relationship with the Wang Family, and the Medicine Valley is on our side. It will not be so easy for someone to make things difficult for us."
Unexpectedly, Ye Xu shook his head and looked in the direction of Imperial City. He said calmly and decisively, "I want you all to leave the Great Wu Country."
...
Two days had passed since they parted ways.
The surging river flowed without stopping. A round East Sun, Yao, rose up with a dazzling golden light.
Ye Xu was dressed in a white robe, and he looked like a ten-year-old child. He had a jade belt around his waist, and although he was covered in dust and dirt, the noble aura that radiated from his body made him look as dazzling as a pearl and jade.
Ying Mu stood beside him, and his aura could not be ignored. However, compared to Ye Xu, he looked a little more vulgar.
The Crown Prince's face was pale, and his brows were tightly knitted into a frown. His realm wasn't very high, and he was only at the Heavenly River Stage Third Level. He couldn't compare to two Reality Breaking Stage warriors, and the tiredness from the journey had exhausted him.
Furthermore, the closer he got to the Imperial City, the more worried he became. Back then, Third Prince's secret operation had been discovered by him, and after discussing with Prime Minister Zuo, he had rushed over. However, he didn't expect that Third Prince would actually die.
It was not a big deal that Third Prince was dead. He had removed a strong competitor, but the Soul Hall had killed all ten thousand soldiers. According to his understanding of Imperial Father, this matter would definitely be blamed on him.
The more the Crown Prince thought about it, the more panicked he became. He started to complain about Prime Minister Zuo. If it wasn't for Prime Minister Zuo's suggestion, he wouldn't have taken the risk and gotten nothing out of it.
The three of them had different thoughts, but they all came to the entrance of the Imperial Palace. Numerous ghastly doors opened, and Ye Xu went straight in and waited at the entrance of the palace.
At this time, the morning court was being held, and not long after, a servant came to report.
"Crown Prince Xuan, Ye Xu, Shadow Recruitment for an audience!"
The Crown Prince glanced at Ye Xu, and with an obvious arrogance, he strode into the main hall with his head held high, and followed closely behind.
Ye Xu smiled silently in his heart. He didn't care much and followed after him.
On top of the high seat in the main hall, a man in a yellow robe looked to be in his fifties. He had an imposing manner without being angry, and exuded the dignity of a supreme being.
He was the emperor of Great Wu Country, and it was very likely that he was his grandfather.
Ye Xu lowered his head and bowed respectfully.
The entire Imperial Court was silent. There was not the slightest noise of theft. Only several pairs of eyes were looking over.
"You are Ye Xu?" A calm and dignified voice was heard, and the gaze from before suddenly retracted.
"That's right, kid." Ye Xu said.
"Raise your head and let Zhen take a look."
Ye Xu raised his head and met a pair of bright eyes. That pair of eyes was filled with the light of day, as if it could see through all things and reach into one's heart.
Ye Xu's heart shook. He didn't dare to underestimate this king of Great Wu Country, and now he became even more cautious.
Time passed bit by bit, and no one spoke. The atmosphere in the Imperial Court became as sticky as a swamp.
The Crown Prince was shivering. Imperial Father's mind was like a sea of water. He couldn't guess what Imperial Father was thinking at this moment. He was afraid that he would be punished because of Third Prince's death.
When the Son of Heaven was angry, his corpse would float for thousands of miles. He couldn't bear Imperial Father's fury!
Ying Zhong also stood there with a bow, but it wasn't difficult to see the sweat on his forehead. Obviously, this Reality Breaking Stage warrior would be as nervous as an ordinary person in front of the Son of Heaven!
Ye Xu's heart sank. Ying Mu's strength wasn't weak and he was arrogant. If it wasn't for Tian Zi's ordinary strength, he wouldn't have surrendered, let alone fear!
It seemed like the emperor of Great Wu Country was very strong!
But now, the Son of Heaven who was still uncertain was staring at Ye Xu with rapt attention, controlling his future!0
