Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Xiao Yi looked at the newcomer expressionlessly, "I'm sorry, you're too late!"

In the void.

Qi's face wore a strange expression as he looked at Xiao Yi, especially when his eyes lingered on the head of the funeral envoy at the latter's feet, eventually turning into a wry smile, "Director Xiao, you really are..."

Qi found himself at a loss for words.

The funeral envoy.

This was none other than the unwavering confidant of the peerless War King Yang Huanyu, who had followed him for over a hundred years!

Even Emperor Qian would not dare to provoke such a being lightly.

And yet Xiao Yi had just killed him?

Seeing the shock on Qi's face, Xiao Yi sneered inwardly.

Although the Imperial Capital is vast,

the news had already spread.

He refused to believe that Emperor Qian had only received the news now. Qi was not early nor late, but chose to show up just as he had completely fallen out with Black and White Shuangsha, at the moment he was about to execute the funeral envoy. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

If one were to say it was a coincidence, Xiao Yi would absolutely not believe it!

Emperor Qian must have been observing everything from the shadows.

Indeed, as Xiao Yi had conjectured, Emperor Qian had been aware of everything happening here, long before they had failed to draw in the Nangong Family. However, Emperor Qian's plan was to deepen the animosity between Xiao Yi and Black and White Shuangsha, aiming for a complete fallout with the peerless War King.

But...

Emperor Qian would not have wanted to see what was happening before him.

After all,

he only wished for Xiao Yi to stand against Yang Huanyu, not to engage in armed conflict with him just yet. That did not align with his immediate plans; Xiaoshanhe Institute was still too weak, and confronting the peerless War King head-on at this juncture was not a wise move.

For that very reason,

when he saw that Xiao Yi was about to defeat the funeral envoy, Emperor Qian immediately sent Qi to intervene.

With Qi's cultivation at the peak of the Dharma Phase Realm, traveling from the imperial palace to the Nangong Family's residence was but a moment's work. Yet, his speed still did not match Xiao Yi's decisiveness.

Countless thoughts ran through Qi's mind.

Sun Yao's voice had reached him, "Eunuch Qi, Xiao Yi dared to brazenly kill the funeral envoy. You must seek justice for the funeral envoy!"

"Eunuch Qi, I want him dead... I want Xiao Yi to join my husband in death..." Yama's eyes brimmed with tears of blood, and the venomous gaze fixed on Xiao Yi like that of a viper, her hysterical roar echoed in Qi's mind.

She had been turned into a deaf-mute by Xiao Yi's Six Syllable Mantra.

Now, she could only communicate with others through the method of sound transmission.

Qi narrowed his eyes, his face showing difficulty.

Strike Xiao Yi?

Out of the question!

Xiao Yi was an extremely important part of Emperor Qian's plan.

But to ignore it?

That was clearly not an option either.

If the peerless War King took advantage of this, it could potentially trap Emperor Qian between a rock and a hard place.

Just as Qi felt caught between two difficult choices, Xiao Yi's voice rang in his mind, "Eunuch Qi, are you troubled about how to conclude this matter?"

"You realize that this matter is difficult to conclude?" Qi glared at Xiao Yi, annoyance clear in his tone.

He had received quite a few benefits from Xiao Yi.

His treatment of Xiao Yi was naturally different from others.

Xiao Yi cracked a grin and continued to transmit his voice, "The matter is actually quite simple!"

"Hmm?"

Qi was taken aback, looking at Xiao Yi with puzzlement.

In his view...

The situation was extremely difficult to handle.

How could it become so simple when it came out of Xiao Yi's mouth?

Xiao Yi's gaze shifted to Nangong Shengji and the rest of the Nangong Family members, his lips curling slightly upward, causing Nangong Shengji's heart to race with a strong sense of ominous foreboding.

With a playful look, Xiao Yi said without any hesitation, "As long as you and I join forces and wipe out them and the entire Nangong Family, wouldn't it be enough to tell the War King that they fought amongst themselves until both sides were wounded?"

"Er..."

Qi's eyes twitched with an indescribably absurd feeling, looking at Xiao Yi with a bizarre expression.

Before he could speak.

"Does Grand Eunuch Qi think this is too much of a child's play? That neither the War King nor Emperor Qian would believe our words?"

Qi rolled his eyes, as if to say you know this is a childish ploy, don't you? But Xiao Yi remained unmoved and continued, "Such an outcome is exactly what Emperor Qian wants to see!"

Buzz!

Qi's face changed dramatically.

Xiao Yi's words struck him like a thunderclap, giving him a sudden revelation.

Indeed, as Xiao Yi said...

The reason he came to stop the conflict was nothing more than to avoid a direct and uncontrollable outcome between Xiao Yi and the War King's Estate. After all, Emperor Qian was not yet willing to have a direct clash with the War King's Estate.

However, if it were possible for Xiao Yi to extricate himself and deal with Black and White Shuangsha, Sun Yao, and the Nangong Family, who were the War King's Estate's minions.

Emperor Qian would certainly be pleased to see this scene unfold.

But...

Grand Eunuch Qi conveyed through telepathy, "Aren't you afraid of the War King blaming you?"

"Blaming?"

Xiao Yi sneered, speaking dispassionately, "Even if I let them go now and kneel in front of the doors of the War King's Estate, would Yang Huanyu forgive and forget?"

"This..."

Qi was taken aback for a moment, at a loss for words.

The domineering reputation of the Peerless War King Yang Huanyu was well-known, not to mention Xiao Yi had already killed the funeral envoy; just the fact that Sun Yao declared on behalf of the Nangong Family their allegiance to the War King's Estate.

Xiao Yi's strong move to kill Nangong Shengji would definitely not be something the Peerless War King would let go of lightly.

"Grand Eunuch Qi, don't forget that the Nangong Family has openly sought refuge with the War King's Estate! Furthermore..."

Xiao Yi smiled slightly, "If Emperor Qian doesn't want to clash with the War King's Estate at this time, do you think the War King would want to fall out with Emperor Qian right now?"

Buzz!

Qi's body shook.

Indeed, Emperor Qian had his reservations about the War King's power, but was the War King not afraid of Emperor Qian?

The competition between the two most powerful men in the Great Qian Dynasty was not a matter of just a day or two. If they were truly confident in overcoming the other directly, they would have acted long ago.

As Emperor Qian's confidant, Qi knew Emperor Qian's heart well.

The Nangong Family's outright allegiance to the War King's Estate had already touched upon Emperor Qian's taboo, but due to the War King's Estate, Emperor Qian could not directly move against the Nangong Family.

If it were possible to eliminate the Nangong Family without causing the War King's Estate to retaliate, this would undoubtedly be something Emperor Qian would like to see!

Upon this thought.

Qi exhaled a long breath, his turbid eyes, which were in fact brimming with sharpness, fixed intently on Xiao Yi, "How confident are you?"

Xiao Yi flashed a grin, "Nalan Qianqiu and you together can take care of Nangong Shengji. As for those beneath him, leave them to my Xiaoshanhe Institute!"

"Hm?"

Qi was startled and looked at Xiao Yi puzzledly, "Leave them to your Xiaoshanhe Institute?"

Currently, Xiao Yi was the only one from the Xiaoshanhe Institute present.

And yet the Nangong Family had gathered nearly seventy percent of their clan members here, with dozens within the Tao Tribulation Realm alone. Xiao Yi suggested he and Nalan Qianqiu deal with Nangong Shengji.

Could it be that he intends to take care of all the remaining members of the Nangong Family by himself?

Just as Qi was puzzled...

Suddenly, Xiao Yi raised his right hand, his fingers quietly clenched. His cold gaze landed on Nangong Shengji, and with a chilling smile, he declared, "After today, the Nangong will be no more!"
