Chapter 251 (1/2)

”Father Emperor, did you call on Daughter?!”

The Ling Yan Princess Zhao Hanyan walked into the study. Emperor Liang was just bent over his desk, completely surrounded by books.

Emperor Liang lifted his head. Seeing Zhao Hanyan, he showed a fatherly benevolence. Gesturing for Zhao Hanyan to sit down, Princess Ling Yan's Star General Dong Junqing emerged from the Star Nest and appeared at her side.

”This is for you.” Emperor Liang waved his hand.

A blue light flashed, and a banner of waves appeared in Zhao Hanyan's hand. Looking at this item, Zhao Hanyan was stunned. This item was the Blue Waves Heavenly Clear Damask, the Approaching Star's Destined Star Weapon. ”Father Emperor, could it be you…”

”How would We have the interest to confront a Star General.” Knowing what his daughter was astonished about, Emperor Liang smiled. ”This was seized from the Purple Thunder Monster, so We shall gift it to you. There is another Star Weapon that will be given to your second brother.”

The Zhao Hanyan who was currently toying with the Blue Waves Heavenly Clear Damask suddenly froze her smile. A fleeting shock flashed across her eyes. ”The Purple Thunder Monster? Father Emperor, you killed the Purple Thunder Monster?” Zhao Hanyan was aware of the Purple Thunder Monster's true identity, and hearing that Su Xing unexpectedly came into contact with her father, her heart had a kind of unclear perturbed feeling.

”He certainly is not easy to kill.” Emperor Liang smiled.

”Father Emperor, just what happened? Can you inform Daughter? You two must have had a misunderstanding.” Zhao Hanyan's brows rose, and her tone was somewhat nervous. Seeing her appearance, the Steadfast Star Dong Junqing concealed a very good twitch of her lips.

Emperor Liang's eyes had an odd expression. The Princess Ling Yan in his memory was noble and proud, seemingly never caring for external affairs. Hearing his daughter's rare uneasiness, he was somewhat curious.

Zhao Hanyan's face turned red. She nonchalantly said: ”I heard most recently that the Azure Dragon Territory is spreading the reputation of the 'Purple Thunder Saint.' The Scattered Star Cultivators are abuzz about the affair at Vermilion Bird Territory's Five Poisons Mountain. Daughter is very curious.”

”Oh. So there was even something like this.” Emperor Liang looked pensively. He teased: ”Those Ten Sects seemed to have gone about things truly not cleanly enough.”

”Father Emperor, just how did this Purple Thunder Monster offend Father Emperor? To unexpectedly take away the Star Weapons he had obtained?” Zhao Hanyan said in a low voice.

Emperor Liang summarized the events of Heavenly Gem Valley's Ten Thousand Year Evil Suppressing Gem Bamboo. As for the Purple Thunder Monster contracting multiple Star Generals, he actually omitted that without mention at all.

”Ah…” Zhao Hanyan was dumbstruck. ”He unexpectedly came into contact and even snatched away the Ten Thousand Year Evil Suppressing Gem Bamboo…Heavens…” Princess Ling Yan was surprised, not because Su Xing could steal the Ten Thousand Year Evil Suppressing Gem Bamboo, but because Su Xing unexpectedly dared to contend against her father. What kind of courage did this need. Zhao Hanyan knew better than anyone else the awe of the Liang Dynasty's Emperor. That angered appearance was such that perhaps even the Ten Great Sects could not avoid it quickly enough.

”He truly is fortunate.” Knowing that Su Xing used the Jade Pendant to escape, Zhao Hanyan carelessly sighed in relief.

This detail made Emperor Liang's eyelids jump.

”Father Emperor is preparing the entire country's power to chase and kill him. Originally, We did not want to partake with the Ten Great Sects, but he unexpectedly dared to provoke Us. Hanyan, what say you whether or not We should do this?” Emperor Liang asked very interestedly.

”This guy truly is too brazen. Even if he died a hundred times, his death would not be regretted.” Zhao Hanyan bit her lips, recalling their encounter in the Void Immortal's Abode; her face turned red, showing a daughter's manner. What “death is not to be regretted,” she clearly was pretending to be displeased.

Dong Junqing fake coughed to warn her.

Zhao Hanyan's face was hot, saying in deadly earnest: ”However, Daughter feels this Purple Thunder Monster's mistake even has merits. Father Emperor issued an arrest warrant for the worst.”

Emperor Liang was slightly surprised at Zhao Hanyan's words. He smiled: ”Why?”

”The current 'Purple Thunder Saint' reputation currently is proliferating through a majority of the Scattered Star Cultivator sects. The Ten Great Sects' reputation is not at all good. If Father Emperor carries through with this, would he not be helping the evildoers? This would make the other cultivators freeze their hearts.” Zhao Hanyan analyzed.

Emperor Liang nodded.

Seeing Father Emperor seemingly show approval, Zhao Hanyan continued to speak: ”Secondly, Father Emperor should not order his arrest. Rather, Father Emperor should thank him.”

”Thank the Purple Thunder Monster?” Emperor Liang's smile disappeared. If it was anyone else who head this, they would feel incredulous. How could he, who had just been provoked and had a Spirit Item stolen from him, even have to on the contrary thank his opponent. If it was anyone else, Emperor Liang would have slapped him to death with a single strike. However, he knew his daughter's intelligence, so he continued to listen.

Zhao Hanyan also smiled: ”Can Hanyan venture to ask Father Emperor two questions.”

”Ask.”

”First question: That Ten Thousand Year Evil Suppressing Gem Bamboo definitely is not yet Ten Thousand Years?”

”En. It still had ten more years. Had it reached Ten Thousand Years, perhaps it would already have been harvested.”

”Second question: Father Emperor has spirit liquid to rapidly expedite the growth for the remaining ten years? Daughter feels that Heavenly Gem Valley must have wasted significant effort on it. If it was not Spirit Liquids like the Thousand Year Tears, perhaps it cannot have induced growth.”

”We actually do not have this.” Although the Great Liang Dynasty was prosperous, the least bit of induced growth spirit liquids the likes of the Thousand Year Tears had not been found.

”Third question: The Black Turtle Territory had Devil Cults aware of the Heavenly Gem Valley's Ten Thousand Year Evil Suppressing Gem Bamboo that they would come for a raid?”

”Precisely.” Emperor Liang covered his smile, already understanding what his daughter was saying.

Zhao Hanyan said sweetly: ”So Father Emperor ought to thank the Purple Thunder Monster for helping Father Emperor settle a hidden danger.”

The Evil Suppressing Gem Bamboo still had ten years in order to mature, a period that Emperor Liang could not possibly waste. Furthermore, he was without any means to quickly take away the Evil Suppressing Gem Bamboo. Since this was the case, the Black Turtle Territory's next sneak attack would develop into a war. The Ten Thousand Year Evil Suppressing Gem Bamboo was the bane of the Devil Cults. How could the Black Turtle Territory be so reconciled if they did not pull it out by the roots. At that time, there was bound to be a terrible war.

Now, the Purple Thunder Monster had taken it away and left many a thought.
