Chapter 651: Chapter 644: Three-character Bone Book: The “Heart” Section (Part 4)
The Emperor slowly stood up: “Such vital information, neglected in management, the entire Wenhua Pavilion, its sin is difficult to redeem, attendants!”
“Present!” came a response from the void.
Everyone in the Wenhua Pavilion felt their hearts suddenly shrink into a ball.
The next words from the Emperor will certainly be severe punishment.
This is what differentiates this Emperor from the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince speaks of small circles, while the Emperor speaks of imposing imperial authority. Since his accession, he has commenced executions, even Prime Minister Chen Zhengdao has been sentenced to “extermination of three families”. What more for the small Wenhua Pavilion?
Suddenly, a voice rang out: “Your Majesty!”
The Emperor’s gaze slowly moved from the Pavilion Master Yin Ti’s face to the speaker.
Upon turning to him, the anger on the Emperor’s face visibly subsided by thirty percent.
Because this person is Lin Xiaosu.
Lin Xiaosu stepped forward: “Your Majesty, I dare to speak. This matter is truly beyond the capacity of the Wenhua Pavilion, because the one employing such miraculous magic to erase evidence possesses incredibly high cultivation. Even with the Wenhua Pavilion’s full protection, it is merely futile!”
Once these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent as a chicken.
Everyone’s heartbeats accelerated.
To dare to explain and justify at such a time shows fearlessness towards death.
According to the Emperor’s usual manner, this official who stood up might be the first to die.
However, the Emperor’s voice came without anger: “Li Aiqing, do you know the origin of this magic?”
“This magic is a Primordial Spirit Secret Technique! The spellcaster’s cultivation is at least at the Peak of Enlightenment, possibly even the State of ‘Holding’.”
The State of “Holding”!
The Emperor’s expression suddenly darkened.
Even as a generation’s monarch, encountering such a term makes anyone exceptionally serious.
Because the Realm of Tao mastery, even the Imperial Seal might not be able to suppress it.
First Realm of Tao mastery, the Imperial Seal can suppress.
Second Realm of Tao mastery, the Imperial Seal shares equal status.
Reaching the Third Realm of Tao mastery, the Imperial Seal is helpless. Even if this person were standing facing the Emperor in Beijing, the Emperor would be powerless against him.
Hence, there are rumors: one mastery to transcend clouds and winds, two masteries to remain untouched by time, three masteries to ignore heaven and earth.
If it is truly someone at the Peak of Enlightenment, or even in the State of “Holding,” the Wenhua Pavilion really can’t handle him.
No matter how thoroughly you prepare, in the face of absolute power, it equals zero.
This is a defense for the Wenhua Pavilion.
The Pavilion Master, with white hair, cast a grateful glance toward Lin Xiaosu, his inner gratitude like a surging river.
“Li Aiqing wants to advise me to pretend this matter never happened?” the Emperor’s voice grew cold.
Even though he admired Lin Xiaosu most at this moment, he wouldn’t tolerate arrogance.
His patience had run out.
Lin Xiaosu said, “Your Majesty, I did not mean that! On the contrary, I believe those daring to act lawlessly in Beijing should be executed to uphold national law!”
“Execute? Execute that rogue?” the Emperor said deeply.
“Yes!” Lin Xiaosu replied, “I ask Your Majesty for an order, to investigate this culprit.”
The whole hall was stunned.
The most surprised was the Seventh Prince.
You just mentioned this is Primordial Spirit Secret Technique, and the operator might even have entered the State of “Holding”. Such a person has long reached the realm where the Primordial Spirit can traverse thousands of miles away. The true body is unknown in which corner, how can you investigate?
If you can’t find anything, wouldn’t it be purely inviting yourself into a muddy situation?
A typical case of looking for trouble?
“Is it possible to investigate?” the Emperor asked deeply.
“It is possible to investigate!”
“What does Aiqing need?”
“I need Commander Huo to accompany me, and also need cooperation from the Wenhua Pavilion!”
“Good! I understand your intention. If you can capture the real culprit, the Wenhua Pavilion’s failure will be pardoned!”
The Imperial Seal flashed and disappeared.
The next moment, a figure gleamed in the air, a silhouette clothed in golden light soared into the Wenhua Pavilion, it was none other than Great Commander Huo Gang.
“Mr. Li!” A grey-haired head bowed in front of Lin Xiaosu: “Please instruct us, how can our Wenhua Pavilion cooperate? From my position down to the gatekeeper, it is at your command!”
“Please command, Mr. Li!” Several dozen officials spoke simultaneously from below.
This is the reward for Lin Xiaosu standing up for the Wenhua Pavilion.
These officials, who have spent half their lives in the political circles, possess some keen sense.
Earlier, with the Emperor’s “Attendants,” they sensed their necks were quite unsteady. Lin Xiaosu bravely stood up at this critical juncture, nearly saving their lives from under the Emperor’s blade.
Any cooperation would be without question.
“Please let me stroll through the pavilion! And answer some questions!” Lin Xiaosu said.
“Please, Mr. Li!”
