Given the silver-armored man's personality, he really wanted to order Ji Tianxing to be arrested.
He wanted to send Ji Tianxing to the palace for trial and charge him with the crime of deceiving the emperor and looking down on the Sage Emperor.
However, he remained silent for a moment and suppressed his anger.
He knew that Ji Tianxing had a mysterious background and a special identity. He had just won first place in the ranking battle today, causing a sensation in the entire imperial city.
From the reactions of the Sage Emperor and the Sage Master, it seemed that they valued this person.
He was only a guard captain and didn't dare to make decisions on his own. He couldn't bear the responsibility if he ruined the Sage Emperor's plan.
Therefore, he weighed the pros and cons and left the residence with the guards. He returned to the palace to report the news.
...
In the northern city district of Heavenly Cloud City, there was a magnificent palace complex that covered an area of 20 square kilometers.
This was the Outcloud Empire's imperial palace. It was sacred and dignified, and no one could blaspheme it.
Under the dark night sky, the imperial palace was brightly lit both inside and outside.
Countless elite guards stood guard inside and outside the imperial palace, guarding the various checkpoints and key roads.
The entire imperial palace was protected by a powerful array formation. There were also countless open and hidden sentries, as well as patrolling guards.
In the depths of the imperial palace, there were many experts holding down the fort.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that it was impossible for a million-strong army or a large number of Ninth Tribulation experts to sneak into the imperial palace.
Only super experts at the Martial Sage Realm could sneak into the imperial palace.
In the depths of the imperial palace, a dark golden light was lit in a quaint and elegant study.
This was Emperor Outcloud's imperial study. It was decorated very luxuriously, but it didn't lose its elegance.
The study was spacious and clean. A gorgeous palace lamp hung on the roof in the middle. It was inlaid with hundreds of gems.
Rows of bookcases, vases, screens, and other items were placed on the walls. Exquisite paintings and maps hung on the walls.
Emperor Outcloud, who was dressed in a golden robe, was sitting on a wide golden throne.
On the purple jade desk in front of him were a few stacks of memorials, documents, and more than a dozen white jade slips.
Two dragon-shaped bronze incense burners were emitting green smoke.
There was also a crystal clear white jade pot that contained a pot of supreme-grade calming tea. It emitted a faint fragrance.
Great Emperor Chu Yun sat on his throne with his eyes closed. Occasionally, he would take a sip of tea from his jade cup.
The white robed Sacred Expert silently stood to the side, quietly waiting while holding the golden book and large brush.
A moment later, a man's voice came from outside the study.
"Reporting to the Saint Emperor, I, Yu Kai, am here to report!"
Emperor Chu Yun opened his eyes and looked at the door of the study with anticipation.
The Sagemaster said with a dignified tone, "Bring Yu Kai for an audience!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the study opened. A middle-aged man in silver armor entered the study with a respectful expression.
This person was the Captain of the Royal Guards, Yu Kai, who had announced the decree to Ji Tianxing.
He walked to the middle of the study and stood still. Just as he was about to report the news, Great Emperor Chu Yun frowned. There was confusion and displeasure in his eyes.
The Sage Sovereign also asked in a dignified tone, "Where's Ji Tianxing? Why didn't you bring him here? "
Yu Kai was intimidated by the two's powerful auras. He immediately bowed in fear and explained, "Please forgive me, Saint Emperor. I went to Ji Tianxing's residence and announced the decree in person.
However, that brat was very arrogant. Not only did he not show himself, but he also went against the Saint Emperor's decree … "
Then, Yu Kai repeated Ji Tianxing's words to Great Emperor Chu Yun and the Sagemaster.
After he finished speaking, Great Emperor Chu Yun and the Sagemaster's expressions changed. They frowned fiercely, and their eyes were somewhat gloomy.
"Yu Kai, you may leave first!" The Sagemaster waved his hand and dismissed Yu Kai.
After Yu Kai left, only Great Emperor Chu Yun and the Sagemaster were left in the study.
Great Emperor Chu Yun frowned. He gently knocked on the purple jade table with one hand and said with a gloomy expression, "Is this brat too arrogant or too ignorant?"
The Sagemaster analyzed expressionlessly, "Although Ji Tianxing isn't a citizen of this country, no matter where he comes from, he should understand the principle that the monarch's authority is as heavy as a mountain.
In my opinion, it's not that this brat doesn't know etiquette, but that he's purposely refusing to see you. "
"Hmph! He's purposely provoking my dignity to test my attitude? "Great Emperor Chu Yun raised his eyebrows and sneered.
The Sagemaster frowned and thought for a moment. He shook his head and said, "This brat is overflowing with talent and outstanding. He doesn't seem like such a reckless person. What's the difference between this and seeking death?
I think he's most likely trying to convey a message to the Saint Emperor to let you know his position. "
Great Emperor Chu Yun's interest was piqued. He said, "Let's hear it."
The Sagemaster said in a low voice, "According to what this brat said to Yu Kai, he clearly wants you to know that he's not interested in any of the influential forces in this country.
He doesn't want to come into contact with the forces in this country. He'll only wait seven days for the Clear Sky Pagoda's divine envoy to arrive and leave this country. "
Great Emperor Chu Yun thought for a moment and nodded. "After your analysis, there's some truth to it!
The various major forces in this country will definitely be unable to hold back and will secretly find an opportunity to contact him, rope him in, and bribe him.
If there's a hidden force behind him, they will also try to contact him.
Let the Heavenly Shadow Guards continue to monitor him and don't let go of any clues. I want to see what his background is!
Are his goals and intentions really what he said they were?! "
The Sagemaster nodded slightly and said in a solemn tone, "In addition, I've also ordered all the Shadow Guard branches in the Empire to do their best to investigate him."
Great Emperor Chu Yun nodded in satisfaction. "Mm, that's good. If there's a problem with his identity and background, we'll be able to find out the results very quickly.
If he's really innocent and magnanimous, then I'll fulfill his wish and let him smoothly head to the Clear Sky Pagoda seven days later! "
After saying that, Great Emperor Chu Yun slowly got up and straightened his sleeves. He turned around and was about to walk out.
"Sagemaster, follow me."
The Sagemaster was stunned and asked doubtfully, "Sagemaster, where are you going?"
Great Emperor Chu Yun revealed a playful smile and answered while walking out, "Of course, I'm going to Ji Tianxing's residence."
"Ah?" The Sagemaster revealed a stunned expression and said in disbelief, "Sagemaster, that brat just rejected your summons. Not only did you not punish him, but you're also going to meet him personally?
This matter will definitely spread. At that time, won't others laugh at you? "
Great Emperor Chu Yun waved his hand and said meaningfully, "No, this is all superficial! However, I'm going to meet him personally. This is the way of an Emperor!
Ji Tianxing won first place today and his name shook the Imperial City. This news must have spread throughout the Empire.
When I sent Yu Kai to summon him, it must have been seen by the secret agents of the various major forces.
Because of this, not only can I not punish Ji Tianxing, but I'm also going to meet him personally. Only then can I show my magnanimity and respect to the wise!
