Chapter 966: Method, one against three
To leave the Central Empire, Xiao Tianyao must first resolve the matter of killing the three Martial Gods, so that the Emperor would have no reason to detain them.
Previously, Xiao Tianyao had never taken the initiative to deal with this matter. When the Emperor asked him, he responded perfunctorily with a very negative attitude, but now he could not do this. Lin Chujiu wanted to go back, so of course he had to get this matter done as soon as possible.
This matter was difficult to do, but easy to say. In the final analysis, this matter was nothing more than that the Central Empire had lost face and was unwilling to accept the pressure of power. As long as Xiao Tianyao finds someone with power equal to that of the Central Empire to come forward, this matter will be resolved quickly.
If it was before, Xiao Tianyao would not have this ability, but now, there is a need to ask, someone to come to help Xiao Tianyao solve the matter.
The elders of Martial God Mountain have mentioned more than once that they could help Xiao Tianyao solve his problems in the Central Empire, but Xiao Tianyao refused.
No one will lend a helping hand for no reason. No one will put effort without asking for anything in return. It's best not to believe in the pie-falling-in-the-sky things. Today, the people from the Martial God Mountain rushed to help. There must be a bigger plot in the future. In order not to let them cause him trouble in the future, Xiao Tianyao decisively refused.
It was not like he couldn’t solve this matter.
Except for the people from the Martial God Mountain, the seven great noble families also wanted to contribute to win over Xiao Tianyao, but before they could contribute, Xiao Tianyao found the Emperor himself.
Previously, Xiao Tianyao had always insisted that it was the Martial Gods of the Central Empire who took action first. He had to take action to protect himself, and he would never admit that he was at fault.
Now, Xiao Tianyao still said this, but he didn't admit it as his mistake like before. Instead, he proactively admitted his mistakes and admitted that he was wrong to kill someone accidentally. If the Central Empire has any demands, just ask them and he will try his best to meet them.
This was the attitude to solve the problem, but the Emperor was not happy. He was depressed
Xiao Tianyao doesn't want to solve the problem but wants to leave the Central Empire. This idea… was very dangerous, very dangerous for the Central Empire!
If a person like Xiao Tianyao cannot be used by the Central Empire, he must be eradicated, even if he has nothing to do with the Shanyuan Dynasty.
Hearing Xiao Tianyao's simple words, the Emperor's eyes were slightly cold, but his expression was very kind: "If you kill someone, you must pay with your life, Prince Xiao, do you know this?"
The Emperor's voice was very gentle, without a hint of murderous intent. However, Xiao Tianyao knew that the Emperor wanted his life, but he would never use this as an excuse to kill him.
The Emperor would only do it secretly if he wanted to kill him.
"Your Majesty wants me to pay for my life?" After hearing this, Xiao Tianyao was not worried at all: "Those three people wanted to take my life that day, so there seems to be nothing wrong with me taking the lives of those three people. However, if Your Majesty insists on asking me to pay for my life, I have nothing to say, after all, it is only right to pay for killing someone."
"Hahaha…" After hearing this, the Emperor laughed heartily: "Prince Xiao, you are overthinking. I am just joking. Those three people are not as skilled as others, and it would be a shame to die. They can die in the hands of the Supreme Martial God, it can be considered a blessing.”
"Your Majesty, I was not a Supreme Martial God that day. I said it was just a fluke that I killed them." Xiao Tianyao reiterated the matter. He knew that the Emperor suspected that he was the one who broke into the Shanyuan Dynasty's abandoned temple, but so what? The Central Empire had no evidence and could find no evidence.
Xiao Tianyao didn't fall into the Emperor's trap at all, and said to himself: "If your Majesty does not think that I am wrong, then I will set off back to the Eastern Country tomorrow."
He now has the capital to be willful, and the Emperor cannot go too far.
As soon as the Emperor heard that Xiao Tianyao was leaving, his face immediately turned gloomy: "There are still many doubts about this matter. You can't leave for the time being." His people haven't gathered enough information yet. They haven't discovered yet how Xiao Tianyao could kill those three martial gods, so how could he let him leave?
"If you have any doubts, please ask Your Majesty. I will tell you everything I know. If Your Majesty still doesn't believe it, you can have three supreme martial gods attack me at the same time to see if I can kill them." Xiao Tianyao knew that the Emperor of the Central Empire didn't want to let him go easily, so he would give the Emperor a reason to no longer detain him and Lin Chujiu.
"What did you say? You want to fight one against three?" The Emperor's body stiffened, but his eyes lit up.
Yes, why didn't he think of this method? In this way, he would have a fair and just reason to kill Xiao Tianyao. Xiao Tianyao's reputation would be discredited even if he couldn't kill him.
The Martial Gods and Supreme Martial Gods were not at the same level. Xiao Tianyao was able to kill three Martial Gods back then, but that doesn’t mean that he can deal with three Supreme Martial Gods at the same time now.
"To prove my strength, to prove that I didn't use despicable means to kill those three Martial Gods, this is the only way, isn't it?" He doesn't want to owe the Martial God Mountain and great noble families any favors. This was the best way, and the only way, the Emperor would give in.
As for whether it would be risky to fight one against three, Xiao Tianyao was not worried at all. His strength was several times stronger than that of ordinary Supreme Martial Gods. Even if he could not kill all three of them, he could escape unscathed.
Furthermore, this was the Central Empire, and this was other people’s territory. If he doesn’t want to owe favors, he can only take risks.
"Okay, this is a good move. I agree to your request. There will be a competition in the palace in 3 days. No matter whether you win or lose, you can leave the Central Empire on the same day." In this way, whether he loses or wins, he can deal with Xiao Tianyao.
With one against three, even if Xiao Tianyao can win, he will still have to pay a heavy price. When the time that he can only drag his injured body away if he encounters danger on the way, will he still have a way to survive?
The Emperor's thoughts were not difficult to guess. Xiao Tianyao could guess it without using his brain. However, he did not refuse and let him be happy.
It wasn't an easy task to get the Emperor to relent and let him and Lin Chujiu leave the Central Empire. Although doing so will be dangerous along the way, Xiao Tianyao doesn't want to miss this opportunity.
After the agreement was reached, the Emperor happily let Xiao Tianyao leave the palace. The news that Xiao Tianyao left the palace and that he would fight three Supreme Martial Gods spread immediately.
The Emperor didn't allow Xiao Tianyao to regret it!
The news spread to all the great noble families. Some of them were happy, while some were worried. But all of them scolded Xiao Tianyao for being arrogant and ignorant.
No matter how powerful Xiao Tianyao was, he had just become a Supreme Martial God. So what if he was the youngest Supreme Martial God? The word "youngest" means that he has a bright future, but it also means that he is the youngest now. No matter how strong he was, that was all there was to it.
With the power of one person, against the three Supreme Martial Gods, does Xiao Tianyao still have a way to survive?
The Seven great noble families had already determined in their hearts that Xiao Tianyao would die, and they were extremely disappointed in him. Among them, the Dongyang Family had the biggest reaction. They had been planning for so long and spent so much effort on Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu. They were about to leave before the matter was completed. How could this be possible?
The eldest son of their family was still waiting for Lin Chujiu to rescue him. Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu cannot leave the Central Empire no matter what……
