Less than a few hours after the end of the competition, the news of Ye Tianze defeating the Wu people and announcing his identity had spread throughout Imperial Dragon City.
Ordinary people naturally cheered for Ye Tianze. Some even found it unbelievable and mocked the Heavenly Academy and Tool Refining Sect for being blind.
But few people knew that there was an undercurrent surging in Imperial Dragon City.
"What did you say? The Heavenly Academy is going to kill my brother?" Yang Wuhui received the news almost immediately.
As the Tower Lord of the Nine Storey Tower, one of the representatives of the first-rate forces, although the Nine Storey Tower had been purged, most of the spies had not disappeared.
The person who reported to him was the Deputy Tower Lord, Yu Xiao.
Yang Wuhui knew that some people could be killed and some couldn't. Yu Xiao was one of the people that couldn't be killed. But he ordered Yu Xiao to carry out a purge of the entire Nine Storey Tower.
Now, Yu Xiao was already his most loyal subordinate. He was loyal and devoted to Yang Wuhui.
"As far as we know, other than the Divine General's Estate and Tantra, the Alchemy School, Tool Refining Sect, Heavenly Academy, and even some first-rate forces are preparing."
Yu Xiao said, "They suffered such a big loss and became the laughingstock of Imperial Dragon City. They can't do anything to the Zhao family and Diva, but they don't care about killing Ye Tianze."
Yang Wuhui was silent. This also proved that Qingkong Yulian and Zhuge Qi were right. Although Ye Tianze had become the hero of Imperial Dragon City, the real masters of Imperial Dragon City were the real masters.
However, the true master of Imperial Dragon City was actually the five major forces and the Renhuang. Even the Renhuang could not directly destroy the five major forces.
Because the Human Emperor needed them to do things for him.
As for the vast majority of people, it was not absolute. Yang Wuhui was naturally aware of this, given his current position.
"How did the Zhao family react?" Yang Wuhui asked.
"Lord Zhao Mingcong has sent word that if the Nine Storey Tower wants to survive, we must remain silent!" Yu Xiao said. "Tower Master, this matter concerns the life and death of the Nine Storey Tower. We must not participate!"
Yang Wuhui's expression turned ugly. Even the Zhao family remained silent. This meant that the Zhao family had directly sold Ye Tianze out.
The Southern Land was beyond their reach, and even if the Nine Storey Tower wanted to change anything, they were powerless.
"Wuhui, your big brother is blessed by the heavens. He will definitely be able to escape this calamity." Ding Yue said, "When Acheron was assassinated, everyone thought he was dead, but he survived!"
"But it's different this time. The Heavenly Dao Academy, the Tool Refining Sect, and the Alchemy School, which one of them isn't a big shot of the human race? None of them can compare to Acheron! " Yang Wuhui said, "I can't accept this. My big brother is always thinking for the tribe … but they …"
"Done!" Ding Yue interrupted, "They care about face. Your big brother slapped their faces. Even if they are condemned by the world, they will still kill your big brother. Otherwise, how can they establish themselves in the future? Even Empress Diva has chosen to remain silent. I think you … "
"No, the human race doesn't only have Diva. There is also His Majesty the Human Emperor. I want to enter the palace and meet His Majesty the Human Emperor!" Yang Wuhui said, "I don't believe that there is no justice in the human race!"
The two watched Yang Wuhui leave and didn't stop him. They knew that Yang Wuhui wouldn't give up until he reached the Yellow River.
"Forget it, let him be." Ding Yue sighed.
"Senior, what do you think His Majesty is thinking?" Yu Xiao asked, "Diva represents His Majesty. Why would she remain silent at this time? Is this also His Majesty's intention?"
"How can this old man guess His Majesty's thoughts? If this old man could guess, then this old man wouldn't be trapped in his current realm and unable to advance."
Ding Yue said, "However, as the ruler of the human race, not only does he need to be benevolent, he also needs to be ruthless. He won't show mercy to those who deserve to be killed. This is the way of a ruler!"
"That is to say, if His Majesty wants to appease the anger of the Heavenly Academy and the other powers, then he must ignore them?" Yu Xiao asked, "Isn't Ye Tianze doomed?"
"He exposed his identity at the wrong time. Right now, I'm afraid not only the Heavenly Academy and the other powers want to kill him, but also the Wu people."
Ding Yue said, "If the Wu people treat Ye Tianze's life as part of the agreement and make some concessions, then …"
Ding Yue immediately shuddered. He suddenly understood that even if he won the hearts of the people, without absolute power behind him, he still couldn't do anything.
Ye Tianze had won the hearts of the people of the world, but he had offended the true ruler of Imperial Dragon City.
The Heavenly Academy could tolerate a lawless Zhao E 'Lai, but they couldn't tolerate a traitor like Ye Tianze. Moreover, Ye Tianze pretended to be Zhao E' Lai and used the academy's resources to fool around under their noses for so long.
This was a great humiliation.
Divine General Estate.
Zhuge Qi and Zhou Chong were playing chess. Zhou Chong stared at the chessboard and said, "Entering the Wuji Pavilion means entering Acheron's door?"
"The Wuji Pavilion might be Empress Diva's last move."
Zhuge Qi said, "After leaving the Wuji Pavilion, Ye Tianze is dead for sure, unless … unless … hmm, it seems like there is no 'unless'."
"Haha, if he doesn't reveal his identity and peacefully stays as Zhao E 'Lai, he can use these ten years to become a Giant. At that time, no one will be able to resist him."
Zhou Chong said, "Unfortunately, he was too impatient. He won the hearts of the people but lost his life. Perhaps this is his only flaw."
"Flaw?" Zhuge Qi suddenly put down the chess piece, "Perhaps, I don't think this is a flaw, but … there are some things that I don't understand. I don't understand why such a smart person like him doesn't know how to be patient. Hmm, you lost …"
Zhou Chong looked at the chessboard and smiled wryly, "Can't you let me win?"
"You and I are both people who have to go to the battlefield. No one will let you win on the battlefield." Zhuge Qi said with a smile.
"Let's play another game!" Zhou Chong said seriously.
Suddenly, a shout came from afar. If Ye Tianze was here, he would be able to recognize that it was Tang Tianjun's voice. However, he was imprisoned in the Divine General's Estate and wasn't allowed to leave.
At the same time, in the Heavenly Academy, Dugu Nuoyan and Gao Cainyun were being watched by two Supreme Elders. The moment the Supreme Elders appeared, they knew that something was wrong, but there was nothing they could do.
As soon as Yang Wuhui stepped into the Mortal Palace, he felt that something was wrong, but it was too late. The Imperial Guard Commander suppressed him with a raise of his hand.
The entire Imperial Dragon City was filled with murderous intent.
At the bank of the Heavenly River, a tall and mysterious person wearing a black robe came to the bank alone. After a while, a boat docked. The mysterious person boarded the boat, and it quickly disappeared into the Heavenly River.
"You guys still haven't gotten that thing?" The mysterious person asked.
"Someone has already gone to get it." On the boat, the thin youth said, "Didn't a black lotus appear on the day of the competition?"
"Hmm?"
The mysterious person said strangely, "Don't tell me that the girl from the Zhao family is that person."
"That person?"
The fishing youth said, "She's just a cauldron, but the appearance of the black lotus has already pointed us in the right direction. As for you guys, how's your matter going?"
"This Ye Tianze is making us very uncomfortable."
The mysterious person said, "However, he's going to die soon. After all, in the eyes of the human race, as long as there are enough benefits, anything can be exchanged, right?"
"Good, we don't want him to live either."
