Xie Tian grinned. "Minister, I've sinned, Wuzhen."
Xing Yan rolled his eyes and stumbled. He hastily held onto the wall for support, not wanting to fall, even if something extremely terrifying and shocking was happening right in front of him.
"Fine, you're Wuzhen. Wuzhen, haha!"
Xing Yan smiled sheepishly when he recalled the Divine Emperor's voice transmission. He glanced at Xie Tian and inwardly praised the latter's vigilance. However, he suddenly recalled something he'd vaguely heard earlier, and his face filled with astonishment.
"His, Majesty just came, he's here!"
Xie Tian nodded.
"As expected, he's here!"
Xing Yan gulped. He stared blankly for a long while before taking a deep look at Xie Tian. With a wry smile, he turned around and walked back the way he'd come.
Xie Tian glanced at the spot where Xing Yan had been standing. The two broken pieces of the token had fallen to the ground.
He knew it was the order of execution.
Now that the order had been broken, he wouldn't have to be executed.
This was within his expectations, but his brows didn't relax. Instead, they furrowed even tighter.
"If the Divine Emperor collapses..."
To him, these four words were earth-shattering.
He didn't think the Divine Emperor was joking with him. Even if the Divine Emperor wanted to, he wouldn't make such a joke.
Before this, he absolutely wouldn't have believed that such a thing could happen. But now, a strong sense of danger grew in his heart, making his tempered and unwavering heart beat uncontrollably.
"Even someone as powerful as His Majesty would say such a thing. What kind of danger is this?
Where is the danger coming from?
What should I do in this kind of danger? "
After pondering for four hours, Xie Tian took a deep breath and began to use the Innate Sensing Art with a solemn expression.
Shenshao didn't expect his joking words to make Xie Tian so nervous.
"What a cowardly kid, haha!"
In the imperial garden, Shenshao couldn't help but laugh. There wasn't a trace of disdain in his eyes, only admiration.
Being afraid of death was not shameful. What was shameful was being arrogant, and what was even more shameful was waiting for death indifferently.
"Imperial Father, Imperial Father, Ji 'er is a little tired of playing!" Shen Ji, who was dressed in black armor, threw herself into Shen Shao's arms and cried cutely.
"A Black Armor. You've been playing with it for two years. You should be tired of it." Shenshao smiled kindly.
"Father, who is that boy?" Shen Ji blinked her big eyes and asked.
Shenshao laughed heartily. "After playing for so long, you only thought of asking this person?"
"Ah, that's right!" Shen Ji was stunned and said shyly, "Father, can you thank him for me? This game is so fun!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely convey your words," Shenshao smiled mysteriously, "That person is preparing a big show, specially prepared for Ji 'er."
Shen Ji's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Really?"
"Imperial Father won't lie to you."
"Ji 'er is so happy!" Shen Ji was as happy as a little bird, dancing around Shenshao. Boundless happiness shook Shenshao's imperial heart.
"Imperial Father, is the show he prepared good?"
"Imperial Father promises that this show will be the best ever!"
Outside of the show, there was still another show.
Thirty-three kneeling death camp soldiers, Wu Shang breaking into the imperial study, and Xing Yan attempting to commit suicide — these three matters quickly spread to all the major powers in Tianqi City.
These three matters were very strange, but what was even stranger was the main character of these three matters, Xie Tian.
"Great-grandmother, what do you think?" Hong Clan Head Hong Ren asked with a frown.
Solitary Demon Granny's eyes flickered, and she murmured, "What else can I think? This Wuzhen is not ordinary."
Hong Yong pursed his lips and muttered, "No matter how extraordinary he is, how can he be compared to Xie Tian? Great-grandmother, don't be half-hearted. Anyway, I'm going to be Xie Tian's brother-in-law! Hey, don't hit me!"
"Get lost!" Hong Ren shouted and chased Hong Yong away, then smiled bitterly. "Yong 'er's words are crude, but he's right. Who doesn't know that my Hong Clan regards Xie Tian as a wealthy son-in-law? This …"
Solitary Demon Granny thought for a while, then shook her head. "This matter is a little strange."
"Strange?" Hong Ren was surprised.
"Yes!" Solitary Demon Granny thought for a long time, still puzzled. She turned to look at Hong Ren. "Is what Wu Tu said true?"
Hong Ren said bitterly, "I tested Hong Yi just now. As soon as I mentioned Wuzhen, her face immediately turned red. She was obviously shy."
Solitary Demon Granny's expression also turned bitter. "That's not possible. Hong Yi is not a half-hearted person!"
"That's why I don't believe it either, but …" Hong Ren blinked.
"What kind of expression is that?" Solitary Demon Granny laughed angrily. "Let's not bother about this matter. Let the three of them settle it themselves."
"That's good too." Hong Ren nodded and sighed with a smile. "But speaking of which, the She Clan has been really unlucky these few years. One Xie Tian just disappeared, and another Wuzhen appeared. Ha!"
Just as Hong Ren said, the atmosphere in the She Clan was indeed not good.
As strong as the She Clan was, one sentence from Shen Feng forced the Clan Master, Evil Crown, to go to the Divine Palace to confess his crimes. Evil Seeking Defeat did not even dare to take half a step out.
"Outrageous, this is simply going against the heavens!"
"Sigh, the tea cools down after the death of Patriarch Invincible. Our She Clan has been declining day by day. Now, the people from the Death Camp are actually riding on our heads!"
"This Wuzhen, as Seeking Defeat said, is really Xie Tian!"
"That's not possible. In my opinion, the one who suddenly appeared from the Yue State's Physique Sect is the one who is causing trouble!"
"Enough!" Evil Seeking Defeat shouted and interrupted everyone. "I am not wrong. Wuzhen is definitely Xie Tian. There is no doubt about this. Wu Shang's actions and Xing Yan's actions are even more proof that it is not Xie Tian. These two would not dare to disobey Shen Feng's orders!"
Everyone suddenly understood.
"Withdraw all the experts from the Yue State!" Evil Seeking Defeat suddenly stood up and ordered while pacing. "Shen Feng killed Xie Tian, but our She Clan wants to kill him!"
"Young Master, even if Xing Yan did not kill Wuzhen, he would not dare to completely embarrass the Crown Prince. Let him go so easily!"
"Yes, he is in the Death Prison. How can we go in?"
Evil Seeking Defeat sneered. "The sky belongs to the Divine Emperor, not the Crown Prince! Wuzhen will definitely come out. When the time comes, I will personally take action. As long as we obtain the Evil Lineage Dao Fruit, our She Clan will rise again!"
Everyone was inexplicably excited when they heard this.
The She Clan's glory lay in the name of Wudi three thousand years ago. Xie Wudi was not the Divine Emperor, nor was he a Prefecture Lord, but he was the number one person in the Nine States at that time!
"Report!" A She Clan attendant rushed into the meeting hall in panic. "We have just received news that the Crown Prince's golden carriage has left the Divine Palace and is heading straight for the Military Department!"
Evil Seeking Defeat's eyes narrowed. He asked, "Who is with him? Is it Wu Shang?"
"I do not see Wu Shang in the entourage!"
The meeting hall was suddenly filled with a strange atmosphere.
"Why did the Crown Prince go to the Military Department?"
"Could it be because Xing Yan did not kill Wuzhen, so he personally went to the Military Department to pressure them?"
"Very likely!"
"If that is the case, then is Wuzhen not Xie Tian?"
Evil Seeking Defeat frowned deeply. After a long time, he shouted, "Go and find out more!"
"Yes!"
Not only the She Clan, but the Ten Great Clans of Middle Ground also sent people to investigate.
Shen Feng's unusual actions were clearly a reaction to the three incidents. In everyone's eyes, Shen Feng must be pressuring the Military Department to protect the Crown Prince's reputation.
Could Xing Yan resist the Crown Prince alone?
No one thought it was possible.
For a moment, everyone in the Military Department was in a state of panic, especially in Xing Yan's office. Dozens of subordinates looked at Xing Yan anxiously.
Xing Yan frowned.
"That can't be. Does the Crown Prince not know? That can't be either. Why didn't His Majesty tell the Crown Prince about Wuzhen's true identity?"
At that moment, the golden carriage arrived outside the Military Department.
Thirty-three kneeling soldiers paled, but they turned to the carriage and half-knelt, their eyes resolute.
Seeing this, Shen Feng asked calmly, "This is the death camp?"
Wu Shang said softly, "This is why the Jin Dynasty is invincible."
"Invincible … I look forward to that day."
That day will be the day I become the God Emperor. Shen Feng smiled, stood up, and walked out of the Golden Chariot.
