Sovereign’s Great Path

Outside of the Sky Hall, there was an open plaza. Although there were all sorts of structures on the plaza, they were not the most eye-catching. The most eye-catching were the soldiers who wore armor and had an imposing manner. Every single one of them possessed at least level of concentration, and those who were near the Heaven Realm were even more so.    

It had to be said that the current Kingdom of Zi Yun was countless times stronger than before.    

Three years ago, in the Celestial Sect of Wonders's secret palace.    

Here, outside the Rising Sky Hall, a great battle had taken place.    

Blood flowed like a river, and corpses littered the fields.    

At that time, the Kingdom of Zi Yun was not a match for him before he revealed his trump card. If not for Qin Feiyue's last resort, she would have been defeated without a doubt. However, if it was the present, Celestial Sect of Wonders back then would not even be able to withstand a single blow, because even in this Heaven Hall's plaza, dozens of nine parts of the human body Warriors could be seen.    

What sort of power was this? And what sort of power was this?    

The Purple Cloud Empire could not be compared to the past.    

Outside the palace.    

The leader of the soldiers who led the little thief here had already left. At this moment, the two soldiers holding nine parts of the human body were in front of the little thief. The little thief's star-like eyes secretly sized up the surroundings. When the little thief saw the tens of thousands of soldiers, he could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.    

Although the little thief didn't know how strong these soldiers were, he was sure that anyone here could easily kill him.    

Because he was a child.    

Because he was powerless.    

He was shocked and secretly rejoiced.    

He was glad that he did not sneak in.    

Otherwise —    

"Child, wait here."    

Suddenly, a solemn voice could be heard. It was one of the two soldiers standing in front of the thief. After saying this, he did not have the slightest hesitation and immediately turned around to run back towards the Sky Facing Hall. He did not even give the little thief the chance to speak.    

There was no doubt that the soldier had gone to inform the soldiers.    

The little thief didn't say anything, and just quietly looked at the Heaven's Facing Hall in front of him.    

His Majesty was right in front of him today.    

His target was right in front of him.    

Will it work?    

How could he leave after he succeeded?    

The little thief's heart was in chaos, but his face remained calm. It had to be said that for an eleven-year-old child to have such a deep mind was not simple at all. After a long while, a sweet smile appeared on the thief's face, as if he had already found a way to escape.    

A smile flashed.    

The little thief looked at his own waist.    

There, was the dagger that his master had given him.    

There, was the weapon he used to assassinate the Emperor.    

"It's you, thief?"    

Suddenly, an exclamation was heard.    

Xuanyuan Wentian walked over from a distance while wearing the purple colored crown prince's robe and he was staring at the little thief with an even more shocked expression. Although he had only seen this child once before, it had left a deep impression on him, one that he would never be able to forget.    

"I don't need charity. I can support myself with my hands."    

These were the child's exact words.    

It was simple, but it was filled with pride.    

If this were to be said by any other person, Xuanyuan Wentian would not mind it too much. After all, this world had never lacked people with backbone. But the little thief was different. He was just an eleven-year-old child, and — he also knew that the little thief had been an orphan since he was six years old.    

It was better to be a beggar than to give alms.    

He had maintained this pride for a full five years.    

"We pay our respects to Your Highness, the Crown Prince!"    

Seeing Xuanyuan Wentian, the soldiers in front of the little thief immediately knelt down and paid their respects.    

"Get up."    

Xuanyuan Wentian waved his hand and looked straight at the little thief.    

"Child, why are you here?"    

"Buzz!"    

Hearing this, the soldier in front of the thief couldn't help but shiver.    

This child actually knows the Crown Prince?    

Although the leader of the soldiers at the thirteenth checkpoint had said that the child knew the emperor, this soldier still had a trace of doubt and precaution in his heart. However, now that he had heard Xuanyuan Wentian's words, he actually felt at ease in his heart. At the same time, he was secretly glad that he did not 'offend' the child in front of him earlier.    

"I want to see the Emperor."    

The small thief's firm voice rang out directly.    

"Meet royal father?"    

Xuanyuan Wentian could not help but be taken aback.    

"Why do you want to see royal father? And — how did you get here? "    

"I —"    

The little thief hesitated slightly.    

"Reporting to his highness, the brothers from the Imperial City's Guard Army brought him in. This young master said that he had urgent matters to discuss with His Majesty and — he also said that this was related to the safety of the entire Zi Yun Empire. The guards have already gone to report. " Immediately, the soldier began to explain.    

"Oh?"    

Xuanyuan Wentian was slightly stunned when he heard this.    

"You have urgent matters to deal with, and they have to do with — the safety of the Purple Cloud Empire?"    

"Yes."    

"What is it?"    

"We can't say. We can only tell the Emperor."    

"This …"    

Looking at the little thief, Xuanyuan Wentian hesitated slightly.    

"Okay, I'll take you in."    

Without the slightest hesitation, Xuanyuan Wentian gave a faint smile and directly pulled the thief's hand. He did not pay any attention to the soldier in front of him and directly brought the thief towards the Sky Hall. At this moment, the soldier who had reported to him earlier was walking back and forth outside the hall with an anxious look on his face. It was clear that he needed to report as well, and he needed to wait for further information.    

It wasn't a minute or two.    

"We pay our respects to Your Highness, the Crown Prince!"    

Seeing Xuanyuan Wentian walking over, the soldiers in front of them all kneeled down to welcome him.    

Xuanyuan Wudi then brought the little thief and directly went outside of the palace, without any hesitation, he directly pushed the door open and entered.    

Within the palace.    

At this moment, Xuanyuan Wudi was discussing this important matter with the civil and military general within the imperial city.    

It had been three days.    

"Father!"    

The moment they entered the palace, the two words, Xuanyuan Wentian, rang out.    

'Shua shua shua! '    

Inside the palace toward the sky, everyone instantly turned to look at Xuanyuan Wentian.    

Xuanyuan Wudi frowned.    

"Wentian, you are becoming more and more presumptuous. Don't you know that I am discussing important matters with the ministers? Hurry up and leave. " Without the slightest hesitation, Xuanyuan Wudi's dignified and solemn voice directly sounded out, and the voice even carried a slight trace of anger.    

"Father, I have something important to report."    

"What is it?"    

"It's this little friend here."    

"Hmm?"    

For a moment, everyone's attention was on the little thief.    

"Child, is that you?"    

Xuanyuan Wudi's astonished voice could not help but sounded out as well.    

"This lowly one pays his respects to Your Majesty."    

The thief's respectful voice also sounded.    

"You're looking for me?"    

Xuanyuan Wudi frowned and asked.    

"Yes, your majesty. This lowly one has a very important matter to report."    

"What is it?"    

"This …"    

The little thief hesitantly swept a glance at the other people present.    

The meaning was obvious.    

There were many people here, he couldn't say.    

"You may leave."    

Xuanyuan Wudi understood, and spoke directly to everyone present.    

"Your Majesty, this … isn't appropriate, right?"    

Immediately, a martial general spoke up.    

"What's wrong with that?"    

"Only His Majesty was left behind, he —"    

"What do you want to say if he tried to assassinate us?"    

Xuanyuan Wudi frowned and asked.    

"Buzz!"    

Suddenly, the little thief's heart skipped a beat.    

"Your Majesty, this subject —"    

The martial general's hesitant voice sounded, but the meaning in his voice was already self-evident.    

"Humph!"    

Xuanyuan Wudi's angry shout directly resounded.    

"Don't you people have brains? Can he, a child, kill me? Besides, if he has the ability to assassinate me, what's the point of you staying here? All of you together are no match for me. "Step down." Xuanyuan Wudi's sharp eyes swept across the officials, and his angry voice sounded out.    

"Buzz!"    

Hearing this, the officials and generals were stunned.    

Xuanyuan Wudi, pseudo-Xuan Emperor.    

Assassinate him?    

Impossible.    

"Yes, your subjects will take their leave."    

Immediately, all the civil and military officials in the hall left the palace.    

Only the little thief and Xuanyuan Wudi were left in the palace.    

"Kid, is there anything you can say now?"    

Looking at the little thief, Xuanyuan Wudi said with a smile. He really liked this little thief.    

"Swish swish swish!"    

However, the little thief didn't directly answer Xuanyuan Wudi. Instead, he turned his head and looked around, sizing up his surroundings, and after seemingly confirming that there was no one in the surroundings, he quietly ran over to Xuanyuan Wudi. Seeing that, Xuanyuan Wudi's face revealed a slight smile.    

"Your majesty."    

Sky Hall, in front of the Nine Dragons Seat, the little thief looked at Xuanyuan Wudi and opened his mouth slightly.    

'Shua shua shua! '    

Suddenly, he looked around again.    

He was like a thief.    

Xuanyuan Wudi couldn't help but laugh at this scene.    

"Your majesty."    

With another few steps, the little thief arrived in front of Xuanyuan Wudi.    

Close to him.    

"Your Majesty, I, I've discovered a great secret."    

Following which, the little thief spoke again.    

"Oh?"    

Xuanyuan Wudi was slightly interested.    

"What secret."    

"This secret is —" As he spoke, the little thief looked around, and then looked at Xuanyuan Wudi and said, "Your majesty, bring your ears over, I'll tell you in secret." It was as if the little thief didn't want to be heard by a third person.    

"Hur hur."    

Xuanyuan Wudi also smiled slightly.    

He didn't think much of it.    

"Can you tell me now?"    

Xuanyuan Wudi stood up and bent down, his ears almost touching the little thief's face as he said this.    

In the blink of an eye, the little thief's eyes emitted a cold light.    

'Shua! '    

A dagger appeared in his hand.    

"Kill!"    

She wore a young and tender face, and had a resolute expression on her face.    

The dagger in the little thief's hand directly stabbed towards Xuanyuan Wudi.    

Straight at the vital parts.
