Chapter 222 - Who’s the Boss (2/2)
Lonemoon: “…” F*cking retard.
Wait! The Vast Sky Hall?
Isn’t that the first immortal hall from the entrance to the heavenly palace? They were going to change the first immortal hall into a kitchen!
“Come back here, the two of you!”
O(≧口≦)O
————————
The entire Bo Sea Heavenly Palace had a total of over a hundred halls and countless mini immortal palaces. There were more than a thousand immortal officials living inside the premises in the past. Lonemoon understood what Pao Hui was thinking. In the past, Celestial Emperors of the Bo Sea had always been from the Bo Sea. Yi Qing was from Feng Cang. Him suddenly being made the Celestial Emperor was akin to starting a revolution in Pao Hui’s eyes.
Pao Hui, as the managing immortal guard of the entire heavenly palace, was naturally second-in-command only to the Celestial Emperor. He dared to challenge the Invincible Sect because he had control over all the immortals in the entire heavenly palace.
They had only just arrived here and taking over control of such a big palace would undoubtedly be difficult, especially if Pao Hui refused to cooperate with them. Only Pao Hui had the ability to move the masses – that was why he was so sure that they would come back to him in the end. When Pao Hui brought the group around the palace earlier, he made sure that all the other immortal guards would not be around. He came up with all the excuses about them being busy.
He did all of this not to object to Yi Qing ascending as the Celestial Emperor, but just to release the anger and indignation he felt in his heart. This was obvious from the way he kept addressing Yi Qing as the “New Celestial Emperor”, but refused to even acknowledge Yi Qing by his name.
It was understandable that he was unhappy, but Lonemoon did not believe that it necessarily meant that they had to give in to him! He was not a princess! Why should they give in to his tantrums?
Lonemoon’s thinking was simple. If he wanted to make things difficult, he could forget about ever coming back in future! We at the Invincible Sect… No, the Invincible Heavenly Palace are extremely busy. We have no time to deal with little tantrums.
Other Celestial Emperors may be lacking in supporters, but the Invincible Sect was not.
The masses would not respond to any other call? Then they would not call on them. In any case, the Invincible Sect was after the palace and not the people in it.
So what if the premises were locked and they could not enter? They could always break into the premises. The body cultivators were full of strength anyway!
So what if the immortal guards were not willing to handover control of the premises? They just had to be beaten up! In any case, they were undefeatable!
So what if the immortal guards were ganging up to go on a strike? They could be fired. They were not too familiar with them anyway – it would be a waste of immortal stones to keep feeding them. Someone had to let them know who the real boss was around here!
So what if they lost immortal guards who were familiar with the business environment outside of the palace doors and who had connections with the other continents? Heh heh, they didn’t dare!
From pills to talismans, arrays to weapons, Invincible Sect was not lacking in people who could manage these things. In fact, they had the ability to manufacture these things for themselves. Whoever was in charge of these things back at the Invincible Sect would continue to be in charge of these things in the heavenly palace. The only difference was probably that the production scale would be bigger.
Therefore, Lonemoon did not worry too much about their situation. Within less than half a month, the disciples under him had the entire heavenly palace under control. In an unbelievably short amount of time, they had set up a comfortable routine to manage things around the palace. They even managed to get a couple of little immortal guards who were happy to go with the flow on their side, to help out with some meagre chores.
The higher-level immortal guards who confidently took leave from their work at the palace, waiting for news from Pao Hui, were fired from their jobs one by one. A month later… the guards could not take it no longer. They sent people to find out the situation in the heavenly palace and found out… that they could not go in any more.
The immortal guards who watched the doors were also replaced by people that they did not even know. They got chased out of the premises and nearly even came to blows.
They looked at the entrance of the palace in agony. On it was written, “Invincible Heavenly Palace”. It took them awhile to process what they were reading. Finally, they were forced to accept that they were no longer in control of the situation. This new Celestial Emperor was different from what they imagined. He was like a real Celestial Emperor, who was not afraid of threats from people.
They even got wind of a frightening piece of news. Celestial Emperor Yi Qing of the Bo Sea was going to hold a coronation for himself in five days at the heavenly palace. The guards were meant to be the first to find out, but they were only informed about this now.
“Manager Pao, this… this is not good!” The guards were beginning to panic. They did not even know of such a huge event – it seemed that they had been chased out of the heavenly palace for good.
Pao Hui’s expression darkened. He fell silent. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, “Go! Let’s go to the various states of Bo Sea!”
