Chapter 282: Chapter 282 – Meeting the Emperor

Chapter 282: Meeting the Emperor

To everyone, no matter the reason that started the conflict, things had gone completely out of control by this point and a massive battle was inevitable .

With two Scarlet Vulture guards dead, there was no way Bald Vulture was going to back down in front of everyone and would definitely ask for redress .

Otherwise, it wasn’t just him; the entire Scarlet Vulture guards would suffer in reputation in the capital after today .

The bearded man’s attitude right now was just adding fuel to the fire .

There was even less reason for Bald Vulture and the Scarlet Vulture guards to back down .

In reality, unlike what everyone thought, Bald Vulture was in a predicament and could neither advance nor retreat .

“How did Mu Dongqing get his hands on a supreme-grade spirit weapon? Damn it!”

Bald Vulture cursed internally and an imperceptible look of caution flashed in his eyes .

While he was the commander of the Scarlet Vulture guards, he had not gotten his hands on a single supreme-grade spirit weapon through all these years .

Given normal circumstances, if both sides were to fight, he would be able to hold down the bearded man while the Scarlet Vulture guards could suppress that green-robed cultivator with ease .

However, the bearded man had suddenly whisked out a supreme-grade spirit weapon…

His strength was weaker than the bearded man to begin with .

With that additional supreme-grade spirit weapon, Bald Vulture was no match for the bearded man at all . If they truly were to fight, the outcome was uncertain .

Right then, Bai Yuhan spoke, “Both commanders, if you were to fight in the capital over something so small and cause panic, the both of you might not be able to escape punishment if Your Majesty decides to pursue the matter . ”

The bearded man and Bald Vulture were in a stand-off with their weapons drawn . Right now, Bai Yuhan was the only one with the rights to speak .

The tension between both parties decreased slightly .

Bai Yuhan continued, “I have a suggestion . The two of you should take a step back and we’ll consult the emperor in the imperial court . We’ll let Your Majesty decide on how to carry on . ”

Upon hearing that, the bearded man and Bald Vulture both heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed .

“I’m fine with that . ”

Bald Vulture scoffed coldly and was the first to speak .

In his opinion, as long as they were to meet the emperor, the bearded man would receive punishment and the green-robed cultivator would not be able to escape death!

The bearded man put away his weapon and nodded . “That’ll work . ”

Bai Yuhan cupped her fists . “That’s great . I’ll make a move first and report about this matter to the palace . ”

With that said, Bai Yuhan turned around and transformed into a beam of light, disappearing in front of everyone .

Bald Vulture’s gaze shifted between the bearded man and Su Zimo with a mocking look . “Let’s go . I’ll see what you can say in the mighty main hall of the palace!”

The bearded man smiled and did not reply . Turning to Su Zimo, he asked, “Mr . Mo, is there anything else you want?”

“Hold on . ”

Su Zimo came before Xiaoning .

“Brother…”

Su Zimo frowned slightly in worry . Her slender hands grabbed Su Zimo’s sleeves subconsciously and did not dare to let loose as she cried in anxiousness .

“What are you crying for?”

Su Zimo smiled and stretched his palm to stroke Su Xiaoning’s head affectionately, messing up her hair .

When she was young, Su Zimo loved to mess with Xiaoning’s hair .

Every time, she would flare up and chase after Su Zimo to hit him .

As one of them chased while the other ran, they crossed the grass fields and streams, running till they were completely drenched in sweat before they collapsed and sat on the ground all tuckered out . Not only were their hairs messy, they were also filled with dirt and looked disheveled .

Back then, the two siblings would look at one another and laugh, enjoying themselves despite knowing that they would be scolded by their eldest brother upon returning home .

Now, Su Zimo’s action came with the intention of distracting Xiaoning . However, she ended up crying even more miserably, sobbing non-stop .

Su Zimo said gently, “Don’t worry, I won’t die . ”

“Humph!”

When Yang Yu of Azure Frost Elixir Workshop heard that, she could not help and sneer before glancing sideways at Su Zimo . “Do you think that you can walk out alive after entering the palace?”

Su Zimo’s gaze swept horizontally and a murderous aura burst forth, carrying a thick stench of blood that made one’s heart tremble in fear!

Yang Yu’s breath tightened and she swallowed the words she was about to say .

The corpses on the ground had yet to go cold and the blood flowing was still warm – who would dare offend someone who had just conducted a massacre in the capital?

Patting Xiaoning on the head, Su Zimo said firmly, “Go back first and wait for me . I’ll come and pick you up in a bit . ”

Sensing the confidence in Su Zimo’s tone, Su Xiaoning stopped crying and asked softly, “Really?”

“Really!” Su Zimo nodded .

On the other side, Bald Vulture came before the cultivators from True Fire Elixir Workshop and said in a low voice, “All of you, head back now . Notify the most prominent cultivators from True Fire Sect in the capital such as Elder Zhang from True Fire Weapon Workshop et cetera and have them all head up to the imperial court to greet the emperor!”

“Understood!”

The cultivators from True Fire Elixir Workshop understood and turned to leave .

Turning slightly, Bald Vulture caught sight of Su Zimo not far away and sneered, “Kid, your backing is none other than Mu Dongqing . But, let me tell you, nobody can save you today!”

Su Zimo’s expression was calm as he replied indifferently without fear, “Don’t be too sure just yet . ”

The bearded man, Su Zimo and Bald Vulture moved towards the palace and soon disappeared in front of everyone .

“If they meet the emperor, it’ll be difficult for that green-robed cultivator to avoid death . If the commander of the Azure Falcon guards wishes to protect that person, he’ll be implicated too . ”

“Yes, while both sides are commanders of the city’s guard squads, one side has the backing of True Fire Sect . If the many elders and Perfected Beings of True Fire Sect were to come forth and exert pressure, even the emperor will have to give some face . ”

“That’s right, there’s no way the emperor is going to offend True Fire Sect for a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator . Fufu, not everyone is like Mr . Mo who can win against True Fire Sect . ”

The crowd did not disperse and continued discussing amongst themselves .

…

“Mu Dongqing, where did you obtain that supreme-grade spirit weapon?”

On the way, Bald Vulture asked in a seemingly casual manner .

The bearded man said nothing .

A cold glint flashed in Bald Vulture’s eyes as he said darkly, “There hasn’t been any supreme-grade spirit weapons on auction in Sky Treasure Auction House recently . Furthermore, your supreme-grade spirit weapon is a hammer that’s compatible with you . It’s as though someone had customized it for you!”

Pausing for a moment, Bald Vulture said slowly, “That hammer was customized for you by Mr . Mo, right?”

“So what if it is? So what if it isn’t?” The bearded man turned around and asked with a fake smile .

Bald Vulture declared proudly, “If you can help recommend and have Mr . Mo customize a supreme-grade spirit weapon for me too, I’ll let you off for today’s matters . Mu Dongqing, you’ve got no chance of winning today!”

As soon as he finished his sentence, Bald Vulture felt something and turned his head only to see Su Zimo staring at him with a strange expression, seemingly mocking him .

That gaze made Bald Vulture feel disgusted .

He laughed sinisterly . “Kid, once you’re in my hands, the first thing I’ll do is to dig your eyeballs out so that you can have your fill of looking at me!”

Upon hearing that, Su Zimo chuckled softly . “Interesting . ”
