Chapter 961: Needs, mighty and domineering

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The military power in the hands of the Eldest Prince has always been a hidden danger in the Emperor’s heart. Now that the military power was in hand and the hidden danger was removed, the Emperor felt relaxed and was in the mood to deal with Xiao Tianyao’s matter.

There were many reasons for being in a good mood. The Emperor was not as aggressive as before, and his attitude was much gentler. But even so, Xiao Tianyao still can’t take advantage of him, and he still can’t get any favors.

The dignity of the Central Empire cannot be challenged, and the authority of the Central Empire cannot be challenged. No matter who was right or wrong, Xiao Tianyao can only be wrong in the end, but……

Xiao Tianyao was not a person who could admit his mistakes or accept weakness. The Emperor wants Xiao Tianyao to admit all his mistakes, but Xiao Tianyao refuses to admit them.

There was no right or wrong in this matter. The Central Empire took advantage of its power and sent three martial gods at a time to deal with the prince of a small country, hoping to force the other party to give in. If this prince was not strong enough, then the one who would be forced to kneel and admit his mistake in the end must be the little prince, but the Central Empire has hit the wall.

They met Xiao Tianyao, a talented person who could kill three martial gods in a one-on-one challenge before he reached the martial god level.

The Central Empire’s plan to force Xiao Tianyao to give in failed. Three of the empire’s martial gods died in Xiao Tianyao’s hands. Xiao Tianyao shocked the Central Empire with his absolute strength and slapped the Central Empire hard in the face.

Rather than saying that the Central Empire was unwilling to accept the death of the three martial gods, it was better to say that the Central Empire could not afford to lose this face. The Central Empire insisted on this matter and repeatedly demanded a thorough investigation of the matter and asked Xiao Tianyao to come to the Central Empire to make a statement. To a large extent, this was the case. To save the face of the Central Empire and the majesty of the Central Empire in the hearts of the four countries.

Asking Xiao Tianyao to admit his mistake and admit that he used despicable means to kill the Central Empire’s Martial gods would be the best way to save their face and shock the four countries, but……

Xiao Tianyao refused!

He refused to follow the Central Empire’s request. He refused to admit that he was wrong, let alone that he had used despicable means to win. Not only that, but he insisted that there was something wrong with the three martial gods. It was the Central Empire that had the problem. It was the three martial gods who bullied others. He was just trying to protect himself at the time and just won by luck.

Of course, the Central Empire also sent people to check, but nothing was found. It also sent a message to the spies lurking in the East to go to Stone Town to check, but still to no avail.

All traces of Stone Town have been erased by Xiao Tianyao. Even asking the former residents of Stone Town was useless. Because they don’t know what it is that prevents those with high martial arts skills from displaying their strength in Stone Town.

In short, the mystery of Stone Town is unsolvable. As for the death of the three martial gods, the Emperor did not want to admit that his people were incompetent, that his people bullied others and were slapped in the face instead. He was even less willing to admit that it was because of their incompetence that they had internal strife in the Central Empire, but……

The Central Empire could not admit it, and Xiao Tianyao refused to admit it, so the matter fell into an endless loop.

At first, the Emperor was still patient, accompanying Xiao Tianyao slowly, trying to force Xiao Tianyao to surrender with reason, but after several arguments in the main hall, Xiao Tianyao still refused to admit, so the Emperor became angry.

Does Xiao Tianyao doesn’t understand his situation?

This was the Central Empire, this was his territory, but Xiao Tianyao dared to be so arrogant in his territory. It was simply audacious!

Today, the Emperor once again summoned Xiao Tianyao to the palace, but this time the Emperor no longer gave Xiao Tianyao a chance to defend himself but directly convicted him.

“Prince Xiao of the East ignored the dignity of the Central Empire, provoked the authority of the Central Empire, and used despicable means to poison and kill the three martial gods of the Central Empire. He knew his mistakes but refused to correct them. He refused to repay his wrongs. He should be punished according to the laws of the Central Empire!” The confidant of the Emperor confessed in advance and directly convicted Xiao Tianyao and presented a series of evidence.

These evidences were naturally a mystery in Stone Town. They used various evidences to prove that Xiao Tianyao was unable to kill the three martial gods of the Central Empire, so he poisoned the three martial gods, which allowed him to succeed.

In short, the Central Empire will never admit that Xiao Tianyao was powerful enough to threaten the life of the Central Empire’s martial god, and so powerful that the Central Empire can’t do anything to him.

Also, the dignity of the Central Empire cannot be provocative. The reputation of the Central Empire cannot be discredited. Xiao Tianyao must plead guilty. The Central Empire must punish Xiao Tianyao.

Ignoring Xiao Tianyao’s indifferent expression, the Emperor announced Xiao Tianyao’s punishment in public. However, as soon as the eunuch started to read, he was interrupted by the guard’s report: “Report!”

The guard shouted and hurriedly walked into the hall: “Your Majesty, the elders of Martial God Mountain are here in person, asking to see your Majesty!”

“Martial God Mountain? Let them in!” Although the Emperor was surprised, he immediately announced the announcement.

The Martial God Mountain has a transcendent status. Although the Central Empire does not need to please them, it would be best not to offend them. Otherwise, once the Martial God Mountain turns into their enemy, it will be a big trouble for them.

Three elders came from the Martial God Mountain this time. After saluting the Emperor, they immediately stated their intention: They came for Xiao Tianyao.

Hearing this, all the civil and military officials present, including the Emperor, were stunned again.

The people from the Martial God Mountain came to the Central Empire for Xiao Tianyao, and there were three elders there. When did Xiao Tianyao have such a big reputation?

“Three elders came for Prince Xiao of the East? What did he do?” The Emperor couldn’t understand and asked directly.

“Prince Xiao of the East is very likely to be the youngest Supreme Martial God. We came here to assess him.” Yes, the Martial God Mountain paid so much attention to it and sent three Supreme Martial God elders at once, not because Xiao Tianyao became a Supreme Martial God Martial Saint, but because he was the youngest Supreme Martial God.

It was not uncommon to become a super martial saint. There were many in the Central Empire and also in the Martial God Mountain, there has never been a genius like Xiao Tianyao who became a supreme martial god before he was thirty.

He was successfully promoted to Supreme Martial God before he reached thirty, will his future be further? Can he touch the realm beyond the Supreme Martial God?

The elders of the Martial God Mountain have spent decades researching sleepless nights and forgetting to eat and sleep to reach the realm beyond the Supreme Martial God. And now, a young man with an unlimited future appeared. This young man would be very likely to be ahead of all of them. How could they not be excited?

These three elders were able to come to the Central Empire because they broke through all the sieges and worked hard. This shows how popular Xiao Tianyao was in the Martial God Mountain.

“What did you say? Supreme Martial God! Xiao Tianyao is a Supreme Martial God?!”

As soon as the words of the three elders came out, the Emperor and the civil and military officials in the palace were shocked again. They all looked at Xiao Tianyao with wide eyes, their faces full of disbelief.

It was not unusual to become a super martial saint, but it was really rare for someone as young as Xiao Tianyao to become a supreme martial god without making any noise.

Before Xiao Tianyao, the youngest Supreme Martial God recorded in the Martial God Mountain was over fifty years old. In other words, most people would not be able to touch such a level after they were over fifty years old. But how old was Xiao Tianyao?

He became a Supreme Martial God when he was just over 20 years old. Was he still a human being?

Or was he a monster?

Such a person, even the Martial God Mountain, will treat him as an honored guest. Can the Central Empire deal with him casually? Can the Dongyang Family control him at will?
