"Supre Elder Wu Tianhe, you are deeply valued by your ancestor Han Qing. I hear you might be promoted to Vice Hall Master in a few days? If that’s true, it’s truly worth celebrating," said Peng Xingfei, the ancestor of the Bright Emperor Palace, smiling at Wu Tianhe.
Behind Peng Xingfei, the Bright Emperor Palace Master Sun Bin, Wu Kefan, Elder Tianzi Yi, Bai Yunxiang, and several others also congratulated him one after another.
Other ancestors from the Emperor Palaces quickly followed with their own congratulations.
Wu Tianhe waved his hand and said with a smile, "It’s just rumors for now. The outco is uncertain. In light of the Huang Xiaolong matter, it’s even more uncertain. Right now, I just hope our Primordial Emperor won’t demote from my position as Supre Elder. I don’t dare to hope for a promotion to Vice Hall Master."
Peng Xingfei, the ancestor of the Bright Emperor Palace, replied with a laugh, "Supre Elder Wu Tianhe, you are too modest. Your ancestor Han Qing is an elder in your clan, right? With her protection and plea on your behalf, I doubt the Primordial Emperor would punish you over the Huang Xiaolong incident."
Before Wu Tianhe and Han Qing joined the Primordial Emperor Palace, they were indeed from an Ancient Divine Race in so Divine World, and belonged to the sa sect, sharing a profound relationship. That’s why Han Qing was so protective of Wu Tianhe previously.
However, Wu Tianhe shook his head and said, "If Huang Xiaolong really is the illegitimate son of the Primordial Emperor, then I’m in for a disaster. I might actually be stripped of my role as Supre Elder."
At this mont, he felt truly unsettled.
Just as Peng Xingfei was about to speak again, suddenly, the sound of the air being torn apart could be heard. Outside the palace doors appeared several figures.
Leading them was none other than Liu Rui.
Beside Liu Rui was a sturdy middle-aged man with deep black eyes.
Upon seeing this middle-aged man, Wu Tianhe’s face changed, because this man was Huang Ansen, the Law Enforcent Hall Master of the Primordial Emperor Palace!
In the Primordial Emperor Palace, Huang Ansen was nicknad the "Soul-hooking Beast!" Whenever he appeared, misfortune followed, and usually of a significant nature.
Behind Huang Ansen were several Supre Elders of the Law Enforcent Hall.
Seeing this, Wu Tianhe hurriedly stood up and went out to greet him. His heart was filled with great unease.
The others, including Peng Xingfei, the ancestor of the Bright Emperor Palace, also stood up in response.
"Greetings, Emperor’s son!" Wu Tianhe quickly bowed when he reached Liu Rui, then turned to Huang Ansen and said, "Greetings, Lord Huang."
Without further ado, Huang Ansen spoke in a sinister tone, "Wu Tianhe, the Emperor’s son has brought the edict from the Great Emperor, instructing to abolish your cultivation and expel you from the Primordial Emperor Palace. Do you have any final words?"
What?!
Everyone was shocked, including Peng Xingfei and others from the Bright Emperor Palace.
They were going to abolish Wu Tianhe’s cultivation and expel him from the Primordial Emperor Palace!
This!
Because of Huang Xiaolong?!
Could their previous speculation be true, that Huang Xiaolong is indeed the illegitimate son of Primordial Emperor Jiang Hong?!
But Primordial Emperor Jiang Hong is exceedingly fond of Huang Xiaolong, his illegitimate son, to go so far as to abolish Wu Tianhe’s cultivation and expel him from the Primordial Emperor Palace over this previous incident.
Peng Xingfei and others felt the punishnt was sowhat excessive.
While Peng Xingfei and the others were shocked, Wu Tianhe felt as if he had been struck by lightning on a clear day, collapsing weakly, but soon he cried out in terror, "No, you can’t do this to ! You can’t abolish my cultivation!"
If this were to happen, it would be worse than death for him.
"I want to see Ancestor Han Qing!" Wu Tianhe then shouted.
Huang Ansen, the Law Enforcent Hall Master, responded with a cold smile, "This is the Great Emperor’s command; even if Ancestor Han Qing cos, it will make no difference."
"Impudent!" At this mont, a woman’s cold shout resounded, and a figure flew over—the Primordial Emperor Palace’s Ancestor Han Qing.
"Ancestor Han Qing, help , save !" Wu Tianhe, seeing Han Qing arriving like a lifeline, rushed over, knelt in front of Han Qing, and pleaded.
"Greetings, Ancestor Han Qing," Huang Ansen and several Supre Elders of the Law Enforcent Hall greeted her, obliged to show respect.
Han Qing ignored Huang Ansen and the others, her gaze falling on Liu Rui: "Emperor’s son, you claim this is the Great Emperor’s intention. How do you prove it? If it is truly the Great Emperor’s order, there should be a Token, right?"
Liu Rui’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
When he ca, his master Jiang Hong had not given him any Token, only the verbal command.
Seeing Liu Rui’s expression, Han Qing calmly said, "Emperor’s son, without the Great Emperor’s Token, you have brought Huang Ansen and others from the Law Enforcent Hall to abolish Wu Tianhe’s cultivation and expel him from the Emperor Palace. This doesn’t seem to follow the regulations of the Emperor Palace, does it?"
Liu Rui was about to speak when suddenly, a voice filled with boundless Divine Power echoed from the distant sky, "Having Huang Ansen abolish Wu Tianhe’s cultivation and expel him from the Emperor Palace, is indeed my intention!"
The voice roared through the heavens, the sky detonated, and a terrifying pressure rushed in from the horizon, leaving everyone gasping for air. Faces turned ashen with shock.
"Greetings, Primordial Emperor!"
Everyone trembled and knelt down in unison, including the Primordial Emperor Palace’s Ancestor Han Qing, the Bright Emperor Palace’s Ancestor Peng Xingfei, and all others present.
"Han Qing, do you still need further proof?" Jiang Hong’s voice sounded again, seemingly coming from all directions, imbued with astonishing pressure.
"I dare not!" Han Qing’s face changed, bowing her head respectfully, not daring to breathe deeply.
Then, silence fell over the land.
Everyone seed to hear the frantic beating of each other’s hearts.
After a while, the terrifying pressure receded like a tide.
Peng Xingfei and the others felt a huge relief, but also felt as if their entire skeleton might scatter. Peng Xingfei and the ancestors of the other Emperor Palaces were terrified; so this is the power of the number one in the Divine World? Even when separated by countless billions of miles, such pressure alone nearly suffocated them?
At this mont, Huang Ansen, the Law Enforcent Hall Master, stood up and walked towards Wu Tianhe. By now, Wu Tianhe was utterly collapsed, his eyes vacant, muttering sothing to himself.
As Huang Ansen reached him, he raised his palm and brought it down, causing Wu Tianhe to let out a piercing scream.
Monts later, Liu Rui, Huang Ansen, and the others departed.
Peng Xingfei and the others watched the departing figures of Liu Rui and Huang Ansen, then looked at the now completely unconscious Wu Tianhe nearby, remaining silent.
After a long while, Peng Xingfei and others began to communicate in whispers.
"Huang Xiaolong really is Jiang Hong’s illegitimate son?!"
"It seems so, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so furious!"
Jiang Hong personally ordered to abolish Wu Tianhe’s cultivation and expel him from the Primordial Emperor Palace, making Peng Xingfei and others feel their previous speculation was ninety percent correct!
After Liu Rui left, he separated from the Law Enforcent Hall Master Huang Ansen to report back to Jiang Hong.
When Liu Rui returned to the palace and was about to report the outco to Jiang Hong, Jiang Hong raised his hand and said, "I already know everything. Have a seat."
Liu Rui respectfully complied.
"Senior brother, Feng’er, Xu Baisheng, they didn’t cause you trouble at the Primordial Emperor Palace, did they?" Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong thought of Feng’er and the others and couldn’t help but inquire.
