Chapter 419 – Tearing the Imperial Decree
Early morning, next day!
Within the deepest area of the Martial Saint Dynasty, the Crown Prince arrived at the Imperial Emperor’s bedroom early in the morning.
“My son, why are you here so early? Is there anything urgent?”
The Imperial Emperor asked. He really liked his son. Having such a strong cultivation at his young age, there was a high possibility that his son would surpass his own achievements in the future.
“Father, the reason I came here is to ask something from you.”
The Crown Prince bowed toward the Imperial Emperor.
“Oh? Is there something you can get within the Martial Saint Dynasty? Tell me.”
At this moment, Yu Zihan, Guan Yiyun and Tian Yishan who were in secluded cultivation left their courtyards and came to Yan Chenyu’s courtyard. They too had heard the Imperial Decree, causing their faces to be covered with anger.
“Damn it, how could this happen?!”
Yu Zihan clenched his fist tightly.
“Fuck! Asking Little Yu to marry that bullshit Crown Prince, this is bullshit! We’d rather fight them all!”
Han Yan’s white hair was fluttering around. Not only would Yan Chenyu herself never agree to marry the Crown Prince, Han Yan would never agree either.
“We can never agree to this! Who does that Crown Prince think he is? He is no match for Little Yu!”
Yu Zihan was a man with a fiery temper as well. On the other side, Guan Yiyun and Tian Yishan were furious as well. But at the same time, they all knew this matter was going to be very difficult to solve.
A cold and stern expression covered Yan Chenyu’s face, but she simply remained silent.
In the sky, Wu Cong threw his glance to Yan Chenyu and said with a smile on his face, “Young lady Yan, quickly come over and accept the Imperial Decree! The Crown Prince will later come here to fetch you personally! Becoming the Crown Prince’s wife is an ultimate honor! Young lady Yan, you really have to appreciate this lucky moment in your life!”
“No way!”
Before Yan Chenyu could say anything, Wu Jiu became the first one to jump in.
“Old Jiu, are you trying to object the Imperial Decree?”
The Seventh Emperor said in a cold manner.
“I said no way! Yan Chenyu is a married woman! She and Jiang Chen got married long before this; how can she be married to the Crown Prince?!”
Wu Jiu said. He actually had no idea whether or not Jiang Chen and Yan Chenyu were married, but one thing was for sure; he couldn’t let the Crown Prince marry Yan Chenyu, as no one would be able to withstand Jiang Chen’s fury!
“So what if she’s married? All that matters is that the Crown Prince likes her.”
Wu Cong responded with a smile.
“I said there is no way! Tell the Crown Prince to give up on his lustful thoughts! Give me that Imperial Decree!”
Wu Jiu moved and appeared right in front of Wu Cong. He stretched his arm forward and snatched the Imperial Decree within a split second. Wu Cong was scared by this action, and quickly hid behind the Tenth Emperor.
“Old Jiu, what are you trying to do? How dare you snatch the Imperial Decree?!”
The Tenth Emperor shouted out loudly.
“Not only this mere Imperial Decree, even if the Imperial Emperor came here himself, I would leave no room for negotiation on this matter!”
Wu Jiu was extremely aggressive. With both hands, he instantly tore the Imperial Decree into pieces. Wu Jiu was a trustworthy man, and since Jiang Chen had saved his life form the Poisonous Miasma Space, he began treating this brother of his as one of the most important parts of his life. He owed Jiang Chen his life. Therefore, in a critical moment like this, he wouldn’t any hesitation, even if it ended up being at the cost of his own life.
Wu Jiu knew how important Yan Chenyu was to Jiang Chen, and if something bad happened to her while Jiang Chen wasn’t around, he would simply be unable to face Jiang Chen.
“Ridiculous! Wu Jiu, you’re really daring! How dare you tear the Imperial Decree?! This is a capital offense!”
The Seventh Emperor unleashed his energy and shouted at Wu Jiu. At the same time, what just happened brought a storm to those who were watching. Tearing an Imperial Decree to pieces was something that had never happened before. Perhaps in the entire Martial Saint Dynasty, Wu Jiu was the only one who could have done it, as this was a capital offense where death was the only punishment!
“Lord Jiu is such a trustworthy man, I like him!”
Yu Zihan felt a strong desire to prostrate himself in front of Wu Jiu in admiration.
“Sigh, we’re done for.”
However, Big Yellow just shook his head and let out a long sigh. Jiang Chen had actually told him about what happened in the Martial Saint Dynasty. Although Wu Jiu had a prestigious status, the Imperial Emperor had ill feeling toward him, The reason why the Imperial Emperor declared this Imperial Decree was to show his powers to Wu Jiu, letting Wu Jiu know he was the ultimate ruler of this land, and that his sovereignty was not to be challenged. But now, not only had Wu Jiu objected his Imperial Decree, he had also torn it publicly. This was equal to slapping the Imperial Emperor’s face openly, and it had also given the Imperial Emperor a perfect excuse to execute Wu Jiu.
“Hmph! I’m going to see the Imperial Emperor now!”
Wu Jiu coldly harrumphed and prepared to fly toward the Martial Saint Dynasty.
“No need.”
At this moment, another figure suddenly emerged from afar. It was a handsome young man dressed in a golden robe. Behind them was a few dozen golden guards, all dressed in golden armor. The Crown Prince had finally arrived.
“Wu Jiu, you’ve torn the Imperial Decree in front of everyone, that’s the same as slapping the Imperial Emperor’s face in public! This is a capital offense! I, as the next Imperial Emperor, will take you down in front of everyone!”
The Crown Prince acted in an extremely aggressive way.
