Chapter 1387: Chapter 1077: The Minor Maneuvers of Tianji Pavilion
Facing the furious Emperor Shenwu, Emperor Nandou dared not hide anything.
He imdiately recounted how Thunderbolt Emperor took Lu Chen back, and how Lu Chen rescued the Empress.
After hearing the entire story, Emperor Shenwu beca even angrier, even smiling in his rage.
“Heh, good, good, good! Tianji Pavilion has truly calculated this well, scheming to have my child go against !”
The next mont, Emperor Shenwu shouted angrily, “Thunderbolt, get over here!”
Emperor Shenwu’s voice instantly spread throughout the Shenyue Dynasty. Hearing his voice, Thunderbolt Emperor, though sowhat afraid, still braved himself to head towards Emperor Star and appeared before Emperor Shenwu.
Upon seeing Emperor Shenwu, Thunderbolt Emperor imdiately saluted and said, “Greetings, Your Majesty!”
Emperor Shenwu coldly asked, “Did you bring Chen back? Do you have anything to say?”
Thunderbolt Emperor showed a puzzled expression, “I don’t understand what Your Majesty ans by this?”
Emperor Shenwu’s aura suddenly erupted, directly sending Thunderbolt Emperor flying.
“I don’t believe you have no idea what he intended to do.”
Thunderbolt Emperor was indeed aligned with Lu Chen’s faction and happened to bring Lu Chen back this ti. It was t with disbelief that Thunderbolt Emperor knew nothing by Emperor Shenwu.
After landing, Thunderbolt Emperor quickly stabilized himself, “Your Majesty, please calm down. If Your Majesty wishes to know sothing, your servant will tell everything he knows.”
Emperor Shenwu directly said, “When Chen took the Empress away, you should have been in the Imperial Palace!”
Hearing this, Thunderbolt Emperor seed to suddenly realize sothing, feigning enlightennt, “I was indeed in the Imperial Palace.”
“At that ti, three thieves from Tianji Pavilion attacked the palace. Prince Lu Chen thought their target was the Empress, so he entered the palace to protect her.”
“Perhaps, to avoid implicating the Empress, Prince Lu Chen took her out of the palace.”
“But who would have thought that the target of the three thieves was Prince Lu Chen? With no choice, he had to escape with the Empress from the Shenyue Dynasty.”
Hmm?
Hearing Thunderbolt Emperor’s explanation, even Emperor Shenwu began to suspect its truth but was not easily fooled.
He looked at Thunderbolt Emperor coldly, saying nothing for a long ti.
Thunderbolt Emperor felt as if needles were piercing his back and throat, sweating profusely.
Regardless of whether Emperor Shenwu believed him, he explained as much as he could.
After a while, Thunderbolt Emperor continued, “Your Majesty, the thieves from Tianji Pavilion are likely pursuing Prince Lu Chen and the Empress now. We need to find them quickly.”
Emperor Shenwu snorted coldly and said, “If I find out you lied, you know the consequences.”
Given the situation, blaming Thunderbolt Emperor wouldn’t help. The urgent task was to find Lu Chen and Chu Yunzhi.
If Chu Yunzhi’s purity was tainted by Lu Chen, it would be troubleso.
Suddenly rembering sothing, Emperor Shenwu asked, “Where did you encounter Chen?”
Thunderbolt Emperor replied, “In Tianji Pavilion of Baicang Dynasty, Your Majesty.”
Emperor Shenwu coldly said, “As expected, Tianji Pavilion!”
Emperor Shenwu now had a suspicion. His inability to sense Lu Chen’s presence through their bloodline must be due to Tianji Pavilion shielding him.
To prevent him from using Chu Yunzhi, they decided to eliminate Chu Yunzhi. Given Tianji Pavilion’s actions against Chu Yunzhi, Lu Chen, moved by past feelings, took her away.
Piecing all these events together, Emperor Shenwu’s anger towards Tianji Pavilion reached its peak.
Mobilizing his spiritual power, he tried to deduce Lu Chen and Chu Yunzhi’s location. They were shielded, unable to be traced.
Emperor Shenwu considered waging war against Tianji Pavilion.
After a long ti, he slowly cald down.
Due to the Heavenly Mystery Maiden, Tianji Pavilion had a high status. If he attacked, they would ally with other super forces to attack Shenyue Dynasty.
Even wielding the Power of Slaughter, he might be outnumbered.
In such tis, calmness was essential.
Emperor Shenwu continued, “What is Chen’s current strength?”
Thunderbolt Emperor replied, “He is a Saint.”
Emperor Shenwu’s eyes narrowed, confirming his suspicions. Tianji Pavilion shielded everything about Lu Chen because he reached Saint Realm, preventing his bloodline reincarnation.
Emperor Shenwu muttered, “Seems one pavilion’s destruction is insufficient to deter Tianji Pavilion. It’s ti for more drastic asures.”
If one pavilion wasn’t impactful, multiple attacks were necessary.
Emperor Shenwu addressed everyone present, “Spread the news that Tianji Pavilion attacked Emperor Star.”
Evenly matched forces call for justified conflict. Whichever side could secure more allies would prevail.
By spreading Tianji Pavilion’s opportunistic actions, it would tarnish their sacred image and attract discontented forces.
…
Shenyue Dynasty.
Lu Yanghua’s residence.
In the secret chamber, Lu Yanghua suddenly opened his eyes, then exited, entering the eting hall.
Three Great Emperors awaited him.
Lu Yanghua glanced at the emperors and asked, “How did it go?”
One emperor replied, “Couldn’t find him, he seemingly blocks heavenly chanisms.”
Hearing this, Lu Yanghua frowned, anticipating an easy elimination of Lu Chen. Seeing three emperors fail signaled possible Tianji Pavilion interference.
This complicated matters…
Thinking of Lu Chen still alive made Lu Yanghua clench his fists.
He neared Guixu Realm Ninth Layer, just short of Saint Realm. With the Crown Prince position almost his, news ca of Lu Chen’s return and breakthrough to Saint Realm.
Unsettled, he dared not act against Lu Chen, especially under Emperor Shenwu’s watchful eye, wielding deduction techniques.
Unexpectedly, shortly after Lu Chen’s return, Tianji Pavilion approached, offering to eliminate Lu Chen and support his claim as the next emperor.
Thrilled, Lu Yanghua welcod the alliance, seeing three emperors deployed by Tianji Pavilion.
Believing Lu Chen’s elimination was assured, frustrations mounted hearing he escaped.
