C51 Wilful Behavior
King ordered the Black Armor Battalion division to return to the capital, but he did not know whether it was because the Fourth Prince had returned to the capital, or because Xiao Dingtian had some other information.
"Crown Prince, are we really going back?" Wang Yan's face was full of confusion. Logically speaking, going back this time was equivalent to walking into a trap.
"Of course, this is a great merit, I must ask for Xiao Dingtian's help." Qi Tianyu smiled lightly.
"Fourth Prince must have already returned to the capital, if we treat him like that, King will definitely make things difficult for us, going back would be too risky, why don't we just go straight ahead!"
Wang Yan said, a little depressed.
"Don't worry, as long as it's not an old guy with Profound Fire Sect, we can do whatever we want. Don't forget, we still have a Profound-rank Expert!"
Qi Tianyu smiled.
To show that his Black Wolf Stronghold had been subdued, Black Wolf followed along with them this time.
As for the Falling Phoenix Mountain, they were temporarily under Wang Mang and Hu Kun's control. The two of them were imprinted with Uppermost Eight Trigrams Spell and they could be used with ease.
As for the Marquis TIanyi, he continued to hibernate within the Elemental Stone Ore. After all, it was an extremely large Elemental Stone Ore, and any sect had to be jealous of him.
Furthermore, Qi Tianyu planned to establish a sect on top of it in the future, so he could not afford to lose that place.
...
The territory of Nanyang Kingdom was not big, and since the group of people were strong practitioners, it would only take less than two days for them to return to the capital from the Falling Phoenix Mountain.
The army was not allowed to enter the city, so Qi Tianyu and the rest were stopped at the city gate.
"Black Wolf, follow me into the city. Everyone else stay behind." Qi Tianyu said.
Wang Yan did not speak, he nodded his head, this was what they had planned long ago, and wanted him to stay outside to support.
"King has ordered for General Qi Tianyu to enter the palace immediately!"
The Guard Commander Han Qian had already been waiting here, and was requested to follow him into the palace the moment he arrived.
"Then Commander Han, lead the way." Qi Tianyu nodded and said with a smile that was not really a smile.
"Humph!" Han Qian snorted coldly, his expression turning ugly. Qi Tianyu's words were undoubtedly an insult to him, for the dignified commander of the imperial guards to actually want to lead the way for a brat.
"I'll let you be proud for a moment. Once you enter the palace, I'll let you have some fun."
Han Qian sneered in his heart. He originally thought that if Qi Tianyu went to clean up the Black Wolf Stronghold this time, he would be dead for sure, but he never expected that the latter would actually return safely.
"Look, isn't that the heir to the Marquis TIanyi Palace, Qi Tianyu? I heard that a while ago, he went to clear out Black Wolf Stronghold. "
"Hehe, I heard that his Black Wolf Stronghold was subdued by the Fourth Prince, but this Qi Tianyu has done meritorious military service, he actually attacked the Fourth Prince, and took all the credit for clearing his Black Wolf Stronghold."
"What?" "There's actually such a thing. This is simply too hateful."
...
Along the way, there were people pointing and talking, and the entire Nanyang Kingdom was filled with the news of Qi Tianyu's meritorious military service, which was to attack the Fourth Prince.
"I have to admit that the younger generations are fearsome. To actually dare to make a move on Fourth Prince, I have begun to admire you."
Han Qian said with a smile that was not a smile. Obviously, he already knew what was going on.
"It seems that you have already established the truth." A cold glint flashed across Qi Tianyu's eyes as he laughed blandly.
Han Qian sneered, looked at the black wolf who had been silent the entire time, and the corner of his mouth raised into a strange smile. He had already known that the Black Wolf Stronghold was a chess piece the King had laid down long ago.
Black Wolf was one of them, when the time came, he would say the so-called "truth" in front of everyone, and Qi Tianyu would intentionally attack the Fourth Prince, and would be convicted of conspiracy. At that time, he would have an excuse to eliminate Qi Family.
Xiao Dingtian was seated high above on the golden dragon throne. Beside him was another seat, which was currently occupied by the Fourth Prince with an ice-cold expression.
The moment Qi Tianyu walked into the hall, everyone's gaze turned to him.
"Qi Tianyu, do you know your crime!"
Xiao Dingtian's gaze was cold and harsh, his voice was imposing as he roared, and a strong pressure rumbled down as the entire hall trembled.
As the ruler of a country and an ultimate expert who stood shoulder to shoulder with Nanyang and Marquis TIanyi, Xiao Dingtian's might was simply astonishing.
Inside the palace, all the officials were trembling, even the Guard Commander Han Qian lowered his head.
Only Qi Tianyu was still standing there, perfectly straight. He looked at Xiao Dingtian with an indifferent expression, as if he was not affected by the latter's pressure in the slightest.
"Is this how King treats meritorious people when I return from clearing out Black Wolf Stronghold?"
Qi Tianyu said lightly.
"A meritorious person?" Hahaha, what shameless boasting, Qi Tianyu, how long are you going to keep pretending to be stupid for? "
The Prime Minister Liu Qishan, who had lost an arm, was the first to jump out with a cold smile on his face.
"The Prime Minister's injuries have healed?" Qi Tianyu glanced at them and smiled playfully.
"You!" Liu Qishan's face turned green, a deep hatred could be seen in his eyes. He had been publicly ripped apart by his enemy, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"How dare you, Qi Tianyu, you who have been greedy for military merits attack the Fourth Prince, with the intention of rebelling, you think that pretending to be stupid will be able to get away with it?"
Liu Qishan sneered, and quickly brushed away his awkwardness, his words were sinister.
"Qi Tianyu, what else do you have to say for yourself?"
Xiao Dingtian glanced at Liu Qishan and said.
"Fourth Prince suddenly appeared in our Black Wolf Stronghold. I suspect that he has colluded with Black Wolf Stronghold, so we should take him down and interrogate him. Is there a problem with that?"
Qi Tianyu said lightly.
"How dare you!" "Ridiculous!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd of officials turned pale with fright as they all scolded him.
"What a noble identity the Fourth Prince has, how could a lowly person like you possibly slander him. King, this child is arrogant, he does not even have a leader in this world, this old official recommends decapitating the masses, exterminating the nine great clans, as an example to others! "
Liu Qishan was startled, he did not expect Qi Tianyu to speak so boldly, but deep down in his heart, he was ecstatic.
This brat had insulted the Royal Prince in such a manner, it was as if he was rubbing his neck against the edge of a knife.
"I second that!" I humbly request King to behead this arrogant person. "
"This child looks down on the might of an Emperor so much that it can be seen that his Qi Family has already rebelled. Nine familial extermination shall be a total massacre!"
...
Inside the palace, the officials were furious. It was as if they had discussed it beforehand, each of them wanting to kill Qi Tianyu with their own words.
"Humph!" Qi Tianyu suddenly let out a cold snort, and his body exploded with an imposing manner that overflowed into the heavens, instantly engulfing the entire hall.
Immediately, those ministers who felt like they were on stimulants fell down. Although Qi Tianyu was still at the perfection-stage of the Refinement Realm, his might was even more terrifying than that of many Yellow-rank Expert s.
"The Qi Family have done meritorious deeds for the generations in Nanyang, and the Marquis TIanyi has even shot nine arrows at all the great fiends of the Wilderness who had wreaked havoc in Nanyang with unparalleled meritorious deeds. As for you people, all you guys are scheming against us. I think you people deserve to be annihilated. "
Qi Tianyu shouted coldly.
"Qi Tianyu, how dare you! How dare you act wantonly in the great hall! No King! "
Liu Qishan's face changed, it had only been a short period of time and this brat's aura was already this strong.
However, he was not the least bit worried, because Qi Tianyu's words and actions were just too arrogant. In this great hall, he was undoubtedly provoking the dignity of the King.
"Haha!" I, Qi Tianyu, have never done anything in my life, why would I need to worry about others. Who do you think you are?
"Pah!"
Qi Tianyu suddenly laughed out loud. In front of Liu Qishan's shocked and furious gaze, he arrived in front of him and slapped him.
No one expected Qi Tianyu to suddenly make a move, his speed was too fast, even with his Seventh Level of Yellow-rank Stage, he was unable to react in time, and his entire face was slapped.
"Pfft!" Liu Qishan felt as if he had been slapped by an Primordial Divine Beast. Half of his face had caved in and he spat out blood along with his teeth.
Liu Qishan screamed miserably as golden stars flashed before his eyes. He felt a splitting headache as he rolled on the ground.
"Hiss!" In the main hall, the crowd of officials were completely silent. All of them took in a breath of cold air, and their mouths were tightly shut, not daring to utter another word.
This master was too fierce, in front of the hall and the King, he actually said that he wanted to fight? They did not want to follow Liu Qishan's example and felt that it was too painful just by looking at it.
"How dare you!" Qi Tianyu, you actually dare to commit such a violent act in the great hall! "
However, there were people who were not afraid, the leader of the guards, Han Qian was in charge of the security of the palace and the entire capital, and when he saw that Qi Tianyu was in the main hall striking people, he immediately unsheathed his sword.
Following his shout, dozens of royal guards rushed out from the left and right, all of them being High Leveled Martial Cultivator s.
Qi Tianyu sneered, his hands striking out left and right, his strength was dense, his Elemental Energy was majestic, none of these guards were his opponents, all of the weapons in his hands were broken.
Han Qian's expression changed slightly as he slashed out with the fourth stage battle sword in his hand. The Sword Qi s were terrifying.
"Clang!" However, Qi Tianyu's palms started to shine, it was as clear as jade, it was extremely tough to injure with swords and sabers, Han Qian's battle sword could only release bursts of fire when struck against it.
Qi Tianyu exerted force into both of his arms, grabbing onto Han Qian's battle sword, suddenly breaking it.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the fourth grade Battle-Sword broke into pieces.
"Pfft!" As for Han Qian himself, he was sent flying by Qi Tianyu's fist.
"What?" My god, how is this possible? "
"Commander Han is an expert at the eighth level of Yellow-rank with a fourth grade Battle-Weapon, yet he is actually not a match for Qi Tianyu!"
"Gulp!" That's a Level 4 Warrior Weapon, but it was actually broken by Qi Tianyu with his bare hands. What a freaking abnormal body this is, even the body of a legendary Divine Beast isn't that much. "
...
All the officials were scared silly, they felt as if they were seeing a wild beast wreaking havoc in the palace.
Some of them even fell to the ground. Just now, their words were extremely vicious, wanting to annihilate the entire clan with their Qi Family. Now that they saw the outcome for Liu Qishan and his group, these people were all terrified, afraid that this beast would also do something like this to them.
On the golden dragon throne, King's pupils also shrank, showing the unease in his heart. A hint of fear flashed deep within his eyes.
Fourth Prince's face became gloomy, and looked at Qi Tianyu with a touch of fear. Then, he seemed to have thought of something, and became angry from embarrassment: "Men, take down this traitor!"
Black Wolf, who had not made a sound all this time, slightly changed his expression and looked at Qi Tianyu helplessly. This master was too good at causing trouble, clearly showing that he did not put anyone in his eyes.
Qi Tianyu saw that more and more imperial guards were pouring into the palace, his expression did not change at all. He smiled lightly as he looked at Fourth Prince and said, "Fourth Prince, you haven't even sat in the position of King.
With that, he looked at Xiao Dingtian with a smile that was not a smile.
"Qi Tianyu, are you really going to rebel?" Xiao Dingtian's eyes became sharp, and the pressure from his body became more and more intense.
"King must be joking, I am only defending myself." Qi Tianyu laughed faintly.
Hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but twitch their mouths. This is called self-defense? You're so damn crazy.
Following that, Qi Tianyu shook his head and sighed: "I traveled a thousand miles to clear out Black Wolf Stronghold, and even though I succeeded in doing so, I was targeted like this. It is truly chilling!"
Xiao Dingtian's eyes flashed, and suddenly laughed: "You all keep to your words, it's not good for me to side with you either. How about this, the person next to you should be the Black Wolf Stronghold's chief, Black Wolf!"
"That's right!" Qi Tianyu nodded.
"In that case, let him tell us what happened. If the Fourth Prince and the bandits are really in cahoots, I will never forgive them. However, if you are greedy for ink and your military achievements are to plot and rebel … "
Xiao Dingtian said.
"Of course, if I am not, I can let King handle it, but if Fourth Prince is truly colluding with bandits, then King will have a fair trial."
Qi Tianyu smiled lightly.
"Don't worry!" The Imperial Family would not disappoint those who have rendered meritorious service. " Xiao Dingtian smiled, but the depths of his eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Black Wolf, you can speak freely and boldly. There is no need to fear his threats here."
Fourth Prince stood up and looked at Black Wolf sharply.
Seeing that, Liu Qishan and Han Qian could not help but sneer inwardly, they already knew, Black Wolf Stronghold was secretly cultivated by the King.
As Black Wolf was one of them, he would naturally side with the Royal Xiao Family. At that time, even if Qi Tianyu was covered in sweat, it would be hard to explain.
Previously, the King might have still been worried about Qi Tianyu's identity as a Pill And Artifact Tower alchemist, but if he was found guilty of the crime, with his extraordinary style of doing things, it would be hard for him to interfere in the internal affairs of other nations.
"Black Wolf, think carefully about what to say." Qi Tianyu's gaze was sharp, and the warning look on his face was very obvious.
When they saw this scene, Xiao Dingtian, Fourth Prince and the others could not help but sneer inwardly. They believed that the Black Wolf had temporarily submitted to them to protect their lives, but the latter was still their man.
With them here, Qi Tianyu would no longer be a threat to the Black Wolf.
