Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi
Chapter 874 - 872: Know the Past, Understand the Future!

Jin Ze and his brother rushed forward together.

Under the assault of the two brothers, Chai Yao let out series of pitiful screams, his eyes filled with despair and helplessness.

Never had he expected that the brothers with whom he shared both good times and bad, calling each other sworn siblings, would turn so decisively ruthless.

In their frenzied assault,

Chai Yao despairingly took his final breath.

He was truly beaten to death!

Watching Chai Yao beaten into a pulp, Jin Ze and his brother anxiously looked at Xiao Yi and his group, respectfully asking, "Honorable sirs, may I ask if this satisfies you?"

Nantian Ao looked towards Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi, expressionless, looked back at Chai Hu and indifferently said, "Chai Hu, are you satisfied with this outcome?"

Jin Ze and the others were astonished.

They had never imagined that the esteemed Nantian Ao would hold Xiao Yi in such high regard. If even a royal family member and chief commander of the imperial guard like Nantian Ao valued him so highly, Xiao Yi's identity must be more than ordinary.

The two realized they had truly kicked an iron plate!

With a begging look mixed with anxiety, they turned towards Chai Hu, appearing pitiful.

Where had Chai Hu seen such a scene before?

In his eyes, the highly esteemed Chai Yao, who could easily have obliterated the Chai Family of Giant Peak City, was actually beaten to death by mere words from Xiao Yi.

At that moment, seeing Jin Ze and his brother looking at him, Chai Hu slightly frowned, his face showing a hint of hesitation.

Xiao Yi did not speak; he had aided Chai Hu merely out of bonds from bygone days, harboring no thoughts of stealing the limelight.

Exhaling deeply to calm his nerves, Chai Hu then looked at Jin Ze and his brother, firmly saying, "Ignorance is no crime, they were also misled by Chai Yao, let's forgive them."

"Then we'll do as you wish!"

Nantian Ao shifted his gaze, his eyes as crafty as old age, his thoughts lively, and with a cold voice, he said to Jin Ze and his brother, "Today, you're lucky. Since our young brother Chai Hu is magnanimous enough not to hold a grudge, I'll spare your lives."

Jin Ze and his brother, as if granted an amnesty, immediately sighed in relief and quickly bowed to Chai Hu, "Brother Chai Hu, although we targeted you under Chai Yao's manipulation, my brother and I still hold inescapable responsibility. Rest assured, if there is anything in the capital that needs our assistance, just ask, and we will not hesitate to help!"

While saying this, they stealthily glanced at Nantian Ao.

Seeing Nantian Ao nodding in approval,

They finally settled their anxious hearts.

Chai Hu was filled with emotions.

How had times changed…

Even a minor steward of the Chai Family in the capital was once considered a significant figure in their eyes, and now these two notable young masters capable of commanding the city's defense force were calling him brother?

Xiao Yi indifferently said, "Chai Hu, isn't your ancestor still not rescued? Let Jin Ze and his brother take you to the Chai Family."

"What? The Chai Family dared to imprison brother Chai Hu's ancestor? They really have a death wish!" Jin Ze was righteously indignant.

Jin Qi was furious, "Brother Chai Hu, come with us immediately. If the Chai Family doesn't give you a satisfactory explanation, we'll tear down their gates!"

With the influence and position of the Jin Family in the capital, not to mention just going to the Chai Family to retrieve someone, even if they annihilated the Chai Family, no one would hold them accountable.

With their help,

Chai Hu might not only rescue Chai Guang but he might even be offered the position of heir by the head of the Chai Family in order to win him over!

Chai Hu, his face glowing with excitement, bowed to Xiao Yi, "Thank you, Brother Xiao!"

Master Xun opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing further.

In his view…

Rather than relying on Xiao Yi to rescue Chai Guang, thereby clearing a debt of gratitude toward the Chai Family of Giant Peak City, it would be better to keep this favor for future considerations. But at this point, saying more could easily offend Xiao Yi.

Therefore.

Master Xun ultimately did not speak.

Everyone then split into two groups. The Jin Ze brothers took Chai Hu to the Chai Family to demand people. With the two of them there, the yet undecided heir to the Chai Family would likely be determined today. Meanwhile, Xiao Yi followed Nantian Ao to the central imperial city.

The imperial city of the Nantian Dynasty was divided into nine districts, unlike the other eight districts, only the royal family could reside in the central district.

Besides the royal family.

Even the merchants who conducted business within had to leave the imperial city at curfew.

A glimpse of the leopard through the tube.

It's evident how powerful the imperial authority of the Nantian Dynasty was!

Led by Nantian Ao, the group arrived at the heart of the imperial city, the imperial palace of the Nantian Dynasty right in front of them.

That entire crimson, imposing palace complex stretched endlessly. The vast group of palaces exuded an aura of nobility and solemnity, giving off a sense of majesty as if ancient mythical beasts dwelled within.

Clank clank!

As Xiao Yi and his group reached the front of the imperial palace, the guards positioned on both sides clenched their weapons tightly, causing a crisp clanking sound. Their sharp gazes fixed firmly on Nantian Ao and the others, their voices resolute and clear, "This is the imperial palace, a crucial area, idle persons are not allowed inside!"

Nantian Ao's face showed no expression as he presented a token, "By His Majesty's command, I invite these distinguished guests into the palace!"

The guard troops naturally recognized Nantian Ao.

But within the imperial palace, without a token or written command, everything was uncertain.

Even the current Prime Minister, without Nantian Wen's order, was unable to enter the imperial palace.

"What a Nantian Dynasty, no wonder it has stood for thousands of years and still thrives..." Xiao Yi nodded inwardly. Just this point alone showed how strict the military discipline of the Nantian Dynasty was, and also how strong Nantian Wen's control over the Nantian Dynasty was.

"Please!"

The guards immediately cleared the way, and the palace gates opened at the same time.

Nantian Ao said with a smile, "Please!"

The group followed closely behind, entering the imposing imperial palace.

It wasn't long before they walked on the imperial palace's main road.

An old eunuch, with white hair but a youthful face and vibrant Qi-Blood, came towards them.

Nantian Ao whispered, "This man is named Dugu Li, an absolutely trusted confidant of His Majesty, and his cultivation is not to be underestimated. Although he hasn't made a move for many years, this old man is very likely also a Celestial Master!"

Xiao Yi glanced at Nantian Ao, really wanting to tell him to be more confident and to drop the word "likely!"

Dugu Li was indeed a Celestial Master level powerhouse.

However, the Cultivation Technique he practiced was somewhat mysterious, making it extremely difficult for even other Celestial Masters to discern his true cultivation level.

"Eunuch Li..." Nantian Ao bowed.

Xiao Yi also nodded toward Dugu Li.

Dugu Li smiled, returned the gesture, and said, "His Majesty has already been informed of your arrival, and has specially sent this old servant to greet you." He paused, squinting at Xiao Yi and added with a laugh, "No wonder His Majesty holds you in such high regard. You truly are exceptional!"

"You flatter me, Eunuch Li!" Xiao Yi responded with a modest smile.

Nantian Ao asked, "Where is His Majesty?"

Still with a friendly smile on his face, which made it hard for Xiao Yi to associate this man with the powerful Celestial Master if not for his keen perception, Dugu Li replied, "His Majesty is currently playing a game of chess with Master Fang. When you meet His Majesty later, remember not to disturb their game..."

"Master Fang? Is that the same person who claims to know the past thousand years and predict the next five hundred years, Fang Tianmiao?" Nantian Ao asked with wide eyes.

Dugu Li smiled slightly, "Exactly, Master Fang!"

Hiss!

Nantian Ao drew in a breath of cold air.

Xiao Yi slightly furrowed his brows, flabbergasted that there existed such an arrogant person in the world, claiming to know the past thousand years and predict the next five hundred years?

Wasn't this akin to a deity?

At that moment.

Xiao Yi's curiosity about Master Fang also increased...
