Chapter 689: Young Master Yao
Great Emperor Yonghe sat on his bed and stared at the jade slip flashing with red light on top of the cabinet.
The jade slip was given to him by Black Dragon to communicate with him.
Even though the two of them usually wouldn't have any interactions, if he remembered correctly, red meant that the time had come.
Attack!
"It's earlier than I expected!"
A cunning smile appeared on Great Emperor Yonghe's face in the dark room. He grabbed his coat that had already been taken off and put it on, then left the room with the jade slip in his hand.
The night was extremely silent.
Unbeknownst to him, the white-robed man's dimensional space was surging in the silent night, stirring up the night.
"I didn't expect the Immortal Region to raise so many ungrateful people."
A group of experts gathered in front of a cliff that was supposed to be deserted. If anyone were to see this, they would be able to notice that something was off here because everyone present here was a reputable existence within and outside the Three Realms.
The one who spoke just now was the sect master of the Fire Cloud Gate. He rarely came out of seclusion due to the turmoil in the Three Realms. His fiery red hair indicated that he had already cultivated his fire-elemental internal cultivation technique to the extreme.
"Old Huo Feng, the five emperors have treated you well. Didn't you come as well?"
The one who spoke was the sect master of the Falling Jade Pavilion. The Falling Jade Pavilion had always been at odds with the Fire Cloud Gate, so it was rather unfortunate that the two of them were able to meet here.
"I didn't expect to see you here, you old thing." The Fire Cloud Gate Master glanced at him with a dark expression, then snorted. "You better give me some face. Otherwise, I don't mind getting rid of you here."
"Anyone can brag. You want to get rid of me? You can try. "
The two old men didn't budge an inch. One could vaguely feel the sparks in their eyes.
"What's the matter with the two of you? Since we're here, we're all in the same boat. It's not good to start fighting among ourselves before we've dealt with the external threat. "
Right at this moment, an elegant young master holding a folding fan appeared between the two of them and separated them.
The surrounding people were all hesitant when they saw him. They couldn't figure out who he was.
After a long while, someone exclaimed under everyone's gaze.
"Young master Yao, it's actually young master Yao!"
The head of the Mu Clan in the outer regions of the Immortal Region had two sons. One of them, Mu Chengtian, was born to his current wife. However, he had a sickly personality and was a famous sickly person in the outer regions.
But before this, the Mu Family Head had a wife.
His wife was from the Xiao Family in the outer regions of the Immortal Domain. Their family couldn't be considered a prominent family, but they couldn't be considered ordinary either. Before Patriarch Mu inherited the position of Patriarch, his wife had always been by his side.
However, during the competition for the position of Patriarch, Patriarch Mu's situation was not very good. For the sake of being elected, he chose to give up on his wife back then, choosing to marry the young miss of the Immortal Domain's famous Tang Family.
Young Master Yao naturally followed his mother back to the clan. At the same time, he changed his surname to Xiao, and the Xiao clan moved to Hundred Flowers City.
When this matter came out, many people outside the Immortal Region felt that it was a pity.
Firstly, it was a pity that only Miss Xiao could be called a virtuous wife, while Miss Tang was too domineering. The Master of the Mu Family would not have an easy time in the future.
The second one was Xiao Yao.
Back then, Xiao Yao could tell that this child was extraordinary from a young age. His talent was astonishing, something rarely seen even in ten thousand years. Just like how the Mu Family Head could endure for ten years, when Xiao Yao came of age, the Mu Family would still be his, and in Xiao Yao's hands, it would shine even more brilliantly.
If there was anyone to blame, he could only blame himself for not enduring.
Now that a young genius had appeared, how could these people not be shocked?
"So there are still people who recognize me. What a gratifying piece of news."
Xiao Yao's lips curled into a faint smile. Then he looked at the fierce-looking man in heavy armor, holding a longsword, and couldn't help but snicker.
"Actually, everyone here has their own reasons, but only this one …."
The sword-wielding man suddenly looked up, his eyes as sharp as swords, at Xiao Yao.
"General Zhao actually showed up? That's a little strange, isn't it? City Lord Lin treats you extremely well, so well that even I'm a little jealous. "
Xiao Yao's expression instantly became sinister. He narrowed his eyes, his gaze like a venomous snake's, filled with unbearable pain.
"Lin Xihe treats you so well, yet you want to betray her?!"
"That has nothing to do with you." Zhao Zizhao glanced at him coolly. "Don't pretend to be benevolent. Aren't you from Hundred Flowers City? City Lord Lin treats your Xiao Family just as well, yet you're still here?"
"I came here because a friend asked me to. He offered me a bargaining chip that I couldn't help but be tempted."
"Then what are you blabbering on about?"
Zhao Zizhao replied indifferently. Xiao Yao glanced at him, shrugged, and smiled.
"Forget it, I don't want to waste too much time talking to a martial artist like you."
"I don't want to waste too much time talking to a sissy like you either. Also, let me remind you that Lin Xihe will never fall for a sissy like you."
"If you have the guts, say that again!"
Xiao Yao raised a slender finger in anger. Zhao Zizhao's words had hit him where it hurt. Xiao Yao was indeed very handsome and elegant, but ….
He was also a little sissy.
"So what if I say it ten thousand times? Sissy! "
"You're courting death!" Xiao Yao's eyes instantly turned bloodshot. He drew a soft sword from his waist and pointed it at Zhao Zizhao. "I'll take care of you on Xihe's behalf!"
"I'm just afraid you don't have the ability."
Zhao Zizhao also grasped his longsword. He stood proudly in front of the cliff like an unsheathed blade, his entire body filled with a murderous aura.
Everyone was a little confused, especially Blazing Huo and the sect master of the Falling Jade Pavilion.
Master Yao had just pulled the two of them apart. Why was he fighting now?
However, no one dared to pull the two of them away. Zhao Zizhao was a famous general, while Xiao Yao was a genius who'd made a name for himself a long time ago.
If the two of them wanted to fight, the surrounding people would have to weigh their own abilities even if they wanted to pull them away.
"It seems like the atmosphere here isn't very harmonious."
Fortunately, Great Emperor Yonghe appeared between the two of them and separated them just as the two were about to fight. When the people around him saw him, they all bowed to pay their respects.
"Great Emperor."
Yonghe faintly nodded his head as he softly chuckled.
"We're all here for the greater good. I don't care what personal grudges you had before, but let it go now that you're here. Once the future is decided, you can fight however you want. I definitely won't interfere. "
Sweeping his gaze across the crowd, the Blazing Huo Sect Master and the Falling Jade Pavilion Sect Master lowered their heads.
Xiao Yao and Zhao Zizhao also snorted coldly at each other. They put away their weapons and stood to the side.
Seeing this, Great Emperor Yonghe nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he stretched his body lazily and chuckled, "Hahaha, you're right.
