Chapter 399 Even Emperor Yu is afraid of Tianxu Tower

The fact that Cheng Yuejie was the reincarnation of a great swordsman soon spread to the court of Dayu through the mouth of Mo Changzai, and a subtle atmosphere continued to spread in the court.

They all knew that they should discuss the affairs of the ten sects now, but everyone was still more concerned about Cheng Yuejie, the invincible swordsman of the Sword-asking Ceremony.

Even though they were in control of the situation, they still didn't understand how the invincible sword intent came about.

And Li Yanmo's words pushed the matter of Cheng Yuejie, the invincible swordsman, to a new height.

"Swordsmanship... powerful? Reincarnation and cultivation?" Leng Shanhe had a strange expression, "Master Li, what is this..."

They really didn't know whether Li Yanmo was pretending to be confused or had other intentions.

Ye Shen, the Minister of Revenue, expressed his opinion, "This is probably another plot by Lord Li. This time, Cheng Yuejie swept the entire Sword-asking Ceremony with her invincible sword intent. Even those sword-asking geniuses at the end of the Great Wilderness felt inferior to her. This move must have attracted the attention of the Immortal Palace."

"Cheng Yuejie's identity is not difficult to find. The Immortal Palace must have known that Cheng Yuejie is a disciple of Qingshan Sect. Naturally, they can follow the clue of Qingshan Sect to Tianxu Tower and Lord Li himself--"

Ye Shen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Master Li is probably planning to get involved in the game and lure the Immortal Palace into taking action so that he can seize the Immortal Palace's weakness!"

Leng Shanhe touched his chin and nodded, but did not say a word of approval. Instead, he turned to look at the other ministers, "Do you have any other opinions?"

Leng Shanhe paused and added, "Master Li is a master strategist, and every move he makes must have a deep meaning. You should know that Master Li has pushed the sect registration system that our Dayu has been thinking about for tens of thousands of years to such a level with just a few moves nine years ago."

"So please use your brains and don't ignore any details."

After hearing what Leng Shanhe said, the ministers in the court frowned and began to think seriously.

"At this time, someone spoke up. Could it be... to cover up for Xiao Yun?"

Everyone in the court knew that Xiao Yun was planning to drain as much of the Immortal Palace as possible.

If the Immortal Palace is asked to take out things all the time to test its strength, it is inevitable that the Immortal Palace will become suspicious. However, if there are other more serious things attracting their attention, the Immortal Palace's attention to Xiao Yun will definitely decrease, which will then make it easier to get the Immortal Palace's gold coins.

Leng Shanhe nodded, "There must be this consideration, but there must be more than that. There must be other reasons."

The Minister of Rites hesitated for a moment and then asked tentatively, "Lord Li... could it be that you are setting a trap for His Majesty the Immortal?"

Leng Shanhe and other ministers rolled their eyes in unison.

It seemed as if everyone knew that Li was setting a trap.

"I mean... Sword Gate."

The Minister of Rites hesitated for a moment and then lowered his voice, as if he was talking about something taboo.

"...Louder."

"Jianmen! I mean Jianmen!" The Minister of Rites simply let go of his voice, "I suspect that Lord Li intends to use the reconstruction of Jianmen to induce the Immortal Palace to further reveal its true intentions."

After these words were spoken, everyone fell into deep thought.

There are only four pillars in the world, so there are only four doors.

The sword pillar was originally abandoned and no longer used, but because the sword-wielding sect tried to establish the Sword Gate with the sword pillar as its center, Dayu had to smash the sword pillar with his own hands.

They have always suspected that the Immortal Palace was behind the Jianmen incident, but the Immortal Palace was too good at hiding and being evasive.

Everyone was discussing the Minister of Rites' inference.

In addition to the iron rule of the four pillars and four gates, there were many other considerations when the sword pillar was destroyed.

Political demand is one of them.

Dayu rose from the wilderness, so he knew how chaotic it would be if each sect was king. If there was no framework to restrict them, it would be very easy for the sects to fight each other to the death. For the sake of countless people in the world, there must be a Taoist sect. Even though he knew that the Taoist sect was deviating from Dayu's original expectations, Dayu could only endure it.

But if a Sword Sect emerges, wouldn’t that mean that the sect’s overall voice would become two?

If there are two, there will be three, and from three there will be all things. This is not a question of one or two pillars, but the beginning of division.

Today we have the Sword Sect headed by the Kendo Sect, and tomorrow we may have the Fist Sect, the Spear Sect, and the Knife Sect headed by the Fist Sect.

This is the kind of development that the Immortal Palace, headed by the reincarnated immortals from the Great Wilderness period, wants to see.

Leng Shanhe pondered for a moment and then said, "You mean, Lord Li intends to let the Immortal Palace think that Tianxu Tower intends to use this sword-asking ceremony to attract sword cultivators from all over the place, so as to uh-"

Leng Shanhe hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"The Invincible Sword Intention calls on the Sword Cultivators to rebuild the Sword Sect?"

The Minister of Rites nodded and added, "This may be one of the reasons. Lord Li's plan cannot be so simple."

At this time, another person interrupted and said, "This Sword-asking Ceremony came too suddenly. It was probably done by the Immortal Palace. This should not be in Lord Li's plan. Lord Li may have just gone with the flow this time."

Leng Shanhe frowned, thought for a while and shook his head, "Impossible, why do you think the Frost Realm was broken at that time? It couldn't be that the sword immortal accidentally lost control of his emotions and collapsed the supreme and ruthless sword intent."

The man immediately slapped his forehead in annoyance.

Leng Shanhe taught, "Lord Li is not a man who can predict the future, but he is a man who makes plans and lets the Immortal Palace act according to his ideas."

The Minister of Rites nodded, "Perhaps the reason why he entrusted our Dayu to take care of Xiao Yun was to lure the Immortal Palace into the trap today."

The other ministers nodded.

At this time, Emperor Yu, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, suddenly spoke up, "Call Xiao Yun."

The ministers in the court were all shocked, and they stood side by side on both sides, bowing respectfully.

A moment later, Xiao Yun appeared wearing half armor.

"Your Majesty—"

Yan Xian in Xiao Yun's ring immediately clasped his hands together and began to pray.

Now is the moment of life and death.

This is the most powerful Emperor Yu throughout history, with means to reach the sky. Only by hiding the truth from the Emperor Yu in front of him can he feel at ease.

At this moment, Yan Xian suddenly felt that he might have been impulsive.

"Xiao Yun, do you admit your guilt?"

This light sentence was like a mountain crashing down. Xiao Yun, who had the bones of a saint, was forced to kneel on the spot. His blood vessels burst one after another, but Xiao Yun still maintained his posture of saluting.

Yan Xian in the ring covered his face and dared not look.

"I know my crime."

"You... shouldn't have touched the ancient cave of Tianxu Tower."

When these words were spoken, Yan Xian’s eyes almost popped out of his head in shock.

Even the most powerful Emperor Yu throughout history is afraid of Tianxu Tower? !

"I know my crime!"

"You are wrong because you think you are right to be afraid of Tianxu Tower," Emperor Yu sighed, "Although I am afraid of it too."

I am also afraid that once these three words are spoken, Yan Xian will suddenly feel that my past self was really not afraid of death.

Even the self-centered Emperor Yu was afraid of Tianxu Tower, but he was not afraid! ?
