Chapter 4266: Throwing Some Tough Questions

nly go in, but never out!After figuring all this out, Ginger Cloud was stunned!He originally thought he already understood his parents' experiences, but now that he has met his second uncle, everythin..."Who is Fan Xiao"

Looking at the contents of the communication jade slip, Yan Tianqi's eyebrows couldn't help but furrow slightly.

Although he knew very well that the Emperor wouldn't risk contacting him unless it was something exceptionally important.

But the content of this message also made him a bit lost and confused.

If you don't even know who Lian Fanxiao is, how can you possibly kill them at all costs

Not to mention the entire world, even within the heavens and earth, the number of guards would be in the tens of thousands.

Just give yourself a name, and nothing else about your information. Where do you go to find this template

Moreover, due to the special nature of this matter, he couldn't possibly ask his subordinates to investigate it either.

If one were to be discovered by someone with malicious intent, they would follow the clues and eventually trace it back to themselves. At that point, they would have no way to explain themselves.

After a moment's thought, Yan Tianqi murmured to himself: "Fortunately, the Emperor didn't give a specific deadline, so let's just ignore it for now."

"If by chance, I happened to run into that Fang Xiao, then I would kill him."

If you can't find it, just say you didn't. Wait until the next time you meet with the Emperor and ask then.

After making up his mind, Yan Tianqi directly crushed the communication jade slip in his hand and burned the fragments to ashes with a fire. Only then did he step out of the secret room.

After smoothing down his clothes, which were not messy to begin with, Yan Tianqi walked out the door as if nothing had happened.

Outside the gate, the two guards waiting there saw Yan Tianqi and immediately bowed in unison, saying: "General Tianjiang, the war horses are ready. Would you like to go to the inner city now"

Looking at the two guards before him who didn't even dare to raise their heads, a satisfied smile, unhidden and undisguised, appeared on Yan Tianqi's scholarly face.

I like this feeling of being high above, and liking the feeling of others bowing down to me!

It is precisely because of this that I have gone to great lengths, step by step, to climb to my current position of power.

But when the great competition is over, I will ascend another level and become the Heavenly Marshal of this celestial realm!

Thinking about this, Yan Tianqi's triumphant expression became even stronger. He nodded and looked towards the direction of the inner city, saying, "Let's set off now!"

"The opportunity to dine with the Emperor isn't something everyone gets. You have to make a good impression on him!"

At the same time, Emperor Xuan, who had returned from the Emperor Xing's place, looked at Master Song sitting in the hall waiting for him: "After the banquet starts later, you go to the entrance of the forbidden area again and lure the guards away."

I think that kid should be turning back to heaven at that time.

"Having gone this far to help him, the final step can't be flawed in any way."

Master Song nodded and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I know what to do!"

Emperor Xuan sat down and after a moment of contemplation, he said: "I just saw Leng Yichen pacing outside. He must have something he wants to talk to me about."

"Do you think I still need to pay attention to him"

Old Song pondered for a moment before replying with a question of his own: "Did the Emperor truly have high hopes for Jiang Yun, believing him to be capable of becoming a Heavenly Marshal"

"Xuandì smiled faintly and said, "You've also seen Jiāng Yún, haven't you What do you think, how likely is it that he will become the Heavenly Marshal"

Old Song earnestly said: "His courage, strength, and mentality are all good. Plus he has the support of Your Majesty the Emperor behind him, his possibility of becoming the Heavenly Marshal is extremely high."

But to be frank, my lord, this young man may not be the type to readily follow orders.

"Haha!" Emperor Xuan laughed and said, "I naturally have a way to make him listen obediently."

Then Emperor Xuan laughed for a moment before suddenly saying, "Wait, I asked if we should pay attention to Leng Yichen. Why did you bring up Jiang Yun out of the blue"

Song Lao bowed to Emperor Xuan and said: "If Your Majesty thinks that Jiang Yun might become the Heavenly Marshal in the future, then according to my subordinate's opinion, Your Majesty had better keep Leng Yichen."

After all, if Yan Tianqi were to become the Heavenly Marshal, a new official taking up his post, who knows what he might do.

"Especially in this big competition, Jiang Yun is definitely going to make his debut."

As for Yan Tianqi, he probably wouldn't like Jiang Yun ascending to a position similar to his own, considering their similar personalities and experiences.

"If Leng Yichen continues to serve as the Heavenly Marshal, then at least nothing in the Heavenly Realm will change drastically. This is beneficial for Jiang Yun."

After listening to Lao Song's words, Emperor Xuan nodded thoughtfully and said: "Yan Tianqi, who was able to rise from a small guard to become the leader of the Nine Great Heavenly Generals, now even threatens Leng Yichen. He is indeed a capable person."

Have his experiences over these years been thoroughly investigated Is there an Emperor behind him, supporting him

Song Lao shook his head and said, "I can't find out. No one who went to track him down in the forbidden zone has ever come back alive."

And yet, both inside and outside of Heaven, his every move was perfectly normal. Besides fulfilling his duties, the rest of his time was spent in secluded cultivation.

However, this person is also quite good at flattery. He spared no effort in pleasing the Emperor Xing.

At least, the Emperor of Punishment shouldn't mind him becoming Heavenly Marshal.

"Xuandi coldly smiled and said, "Xingdi isn't stupid either. We can all guess that Yan Tianqi and Di Zun colluded. Xingdi couldn't possibly not think of it!"

Even if the Emperor of Punishment wanted to support him, his true purpose would definitely be for the Imperial Lord!

"But, if Leng Yichen is truly not a match for Yan Tianqi, then even if I intervene, I won't be able to protect him."

Song Lao didn't respond to Xuan Di's words, but continued, "Your Majesty, Mo Ze's subordinate, the general named Lu Wenlin, has someone backing him."

"Lu Wenlin!" The Emperor repeated the name, then said, "Isn't he the mastermind behind the Bloodless Chang incident last time"

Old Song nodded and said, "Not bad!"

Behind him was…

Before Old Song could finish his words, Emperor Xuan had already waved his hand to interrupt: "No need to say, I know!"

"This Lu Wenlin, keeping him around will only be a future threat. Figure out a way, find someone unrelated, and have him killed!"

"Remember to do it cleanly!"

Song Lao cupped his fists and said, "Yes!"

"Alright!" Xundi looked out at the sky and stretched. "Have Song Ying bring Leng Yichen in here!"

Let's chat a bit, and I should be heading to the dinner party!

Old Song said nothing, but a solid figure materialized from his seated form.

It was the very man that Jiang Yun had seen in the painting before, and had transformed into—Song Ying!

Song Ying bowed to Emperor Xuan before turning and walking away.

Looking at Song Ying's departing figure, Xuan Di suddenly said to Song Laodao, "By the way, when you pick up Jiang Yun, tell him about my idea of keeping things cool and detached. See if he has any plans."

Lao Song was slightly startled and said, "What use is telling him"

Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "I don't know if it works."

"But since I want him to become a celestial being, I can't let things be too easy for him. I have to throw him some challenges from time to time and see how he deals with them."

Perhaps he could give us some surprises!

Just then, Song Ying had already led Leng Yichen in, and Xundi also closed his mouth with a smile on his face.

Forbidden Ground, with no cliff beneath it, Jiang Yun sighed and said, "The Sovereign Emperor is unfeeling, he can kill me without any hesitation, but I cannot kill him."

After all, he was an ancient Emperor. With his death, the ancients would be leaderless, and it would be the numerous descendants of the ancients who would suffer misfortune.

"As a descendant of the ancient people, I am also a disciple's offspring. If anything were to happen to them, how could I possibly face my master!"

He shook his head, Jiang Yun no longer thought about it, and began to fabricate a memory for himself of being in the forbidden land for eight years.

After he was finished, he looked up at the sky and said, "It's about time to head back!"

Getting up, Jiang Yun also released his divine sense and scanned the surroundings. After confirming that there were no other traces of people, his figure flickered and he dashed towards the entrance of the forbidden zone.

After the counting, Jiang Yun had already arrived at the entrance and stepped in without hesitation, finally returning to Tiāotian!refore, Father-in-law can rest assured.
