C199 (1/2)
This was an immortal palace that was so vast and imposing that it caused people to feel an inviolable majesty from the bottom of their hearts.
In the Three Realms and Nine Regions, only this hall could give off this sort of solemn feeling. This was because the person who lived in this hall was the actual master of the Heaven Realm, and also the nominal master of the Three Realms — the Heavenly Emperor.
The Celestial Emperor was in his study, reviewing the memorial. Suddenly, the door to the study was flung open.
The Celestial Emperor frowned, but at the same time, he felt his heart tighten. Normally, when someone came in, they had to knock on the door before they could get their permission to enter. Otherwise, he would be punished by the heavens.
But of course, there was one exception. An exception was the vicious event that had occurred in the Three Realms and had shaken the present stable situation of the Three Realms.
Only then, because of the urgency of the situation, was it permissible to break in without permission. However, the possibility of such a situation happening was extremely small. During the Heavenly Emperor's thousand years of reign, this sort of situation had only happened three times.
The closest one was the one where Su Yuewu and Su Yitian had snatched away the fourth princess' immortal elemental energy.
It had only been a few months, could it be that Su Yue Wu had already returned? The Celestial Emperor couldn't help but furrow his brows, a trace of malevolence appearing on his previously expressionless face.
However, he quickly ruled out this possibility because it was his most trusted subordinate, Taibai. Taibai wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
”Taibai, what's the matter?” The Celestial Emperor tried his best to keep his tone calm.
”Someone from the Netherworld has arrived.” Taibai's voice actually trembled slightly.
The Heavenly Emperor breathed a sigh of relief in his heart before saying in anger, ”Taibai, I didn't want to say it, but they are just people from the Underworld. Although we are currently allied with the Underworld, there is no need for us to be so formal with the Underworld's envoys. ”
When the Celestial Emperor finished speaking, his tone was extremely stern. In the end, the Celestial Emperor still cared a lot about the dignity of the Heaven Realm. His pride in his status as a deity was more intense than any other celestial official. He only considered the people of the Underworld as allies, but in reality, he was still a little disdainful of them.
”No, it's the Underworld High Lord.”
”Ming Cang?” The Heavenly Emperor was shocked, the pen in his hand fell onto the table.
”No, the Heaven Realm High Lords have changed.” Taibai hurriedly explained. The intelligence officer had already brought the news to us last time. I presume that His Majesty has yet to approve it. ”
The Celestial Emperor was stunned for a moment. Then, he flipped through the pile of petitions and drew out a chapter. With just a quick glance, he understood what was going on. He nodded and asked Taibai,
”Does this mean that Ming Cang has already lost his power? The one who has come this time is called You Huang?”
Taibai nodded and replied, ”That's right, when he came and registered at South Heaven Gate, he wrote down the name You Huang. Taibai nodded and replied,” That's right, when he came and registered at South Heaven Gate, he wrote down the name You Huang.
The Celestial Emperor's heart skipped a beat and he said with slight anger:
”Such an important piece of information, why didn't you tell me at the first possible moment?”
Taibai hurriedly said, ”Your Majesty, please forgive me. This news came too suddenly and strangely. His Majesty was very busy every day. After discussing it for a long time, he decided to verify the truth of the news. That was why he came to report to you. ”But who would have thought that before it was confirmed, You Huang had already arrived in the Heaven Realm.”
The Heavenly Emperor stroked his long beard and pondered for a long time before slowly saying, ”If that's the case, then I must meet this new High Lord from the Underworld.”
Ever since his most beloved fourth daughter's immortal elemental energy had been taken away by Su Yuewu, he had been feeling very depressed and depressed. However, because that old and disrespectful fellow from Zi Yuan had interfered, he had no choice but to give up on the idea of taking revenge on Su Yuewu.
A dignified Heavenly Emperor was actually forced into his house by a mortal girl, stealing away his own daughter's possessions. This caused his teeth to itch every time he quietly pondered over it.
Because of this reason, the Heavenly Emperor had been focusing all his efforts on reviewing the memorial, not paying much attention to the matters of the outside world.
”If this You Huang is here to cause trouble for my Heaven Realm, things will be a bit difficult.” The Heavenly Emperor faintly sighed, then suddenly said to Taibai in a soft voice:
”Immediately investigate this You Huang's identity. I'll go see this You Huang now. You can use a sound transmission to tell me later.”
The Heavenly Emperor started to pace the room, occasionally looking out the window. The clouds in the Heaven Realm were still lingering, and the Heavenly Emperor used to think that the scenery was pleasing to his mind. But now, he suddenly felt that it would be better if the scenery was simpler.
The Celestial Emperor wanted to sigh again, but before he could do so, he sensed that someone was standing in front of the door.
”Come in.” However, through his recognition of this presence, the Celestial Emperor was certain that it was the mysterious You Huang.
The moment the Heavenly Emperor finished speaking, without even seeing the room door move, a youth dressed in black with a handsome face stood in front of the Heavenly Emperor.
The Celestial Emperor was shocked. He didn't think that the new High Lord of the Underworld would have such a young appearance. Ye Zichen subconsciously paused, but he still reached his hand over.
