BXBX NOVEL Chapter 157: Assassin?
His heart was beating like a drumbeat.
"hmph!" The emperor humped not knowing he was about to taste the dust very soon.
Then again, someone who has never witnessed Mount Tai can never progress forward.
"How about we put that array on capital? That will be highly beneficial for our bloodline," Grand Minister Wu finally opened his mouth, stroking his beard like Laozi.
The Emperor smiled, "You know what\'s in my mind very well Grand Minister Wu, I like your thinking... It\'s only reasonable for such an array to exist at the capital,"
"..."
There should be a limit to hypocrisy.
He wanted to maintain the balance and now he suddenly wants to have this array at capital?
Then what about other people?
"General Fang... Also, kidnap the array master that made this array and present him before me, I wished him to create a similar array at the capital," The Emperor announced.
"As your Highness request..." The general who was already outside said hearing the booming voice of the emperor.
"I think we should at least wait for some time and analyze the situation, I don\'t think it\'s a good idea to offend someone who can create such a powerful array," the fox-looking minister uttered.
( you know suneo from the Doremon series, this minister has the same face )
---
"Ughhh!!! Minister Ren... You are overreacting, also it\'s honor for someone such talented to work for the empire..." The emperor let\'s out with a sigh.
He was clearly not pleased by the minister, who even made this person minister?
A ugly looking creature.

Meanwhile,
Xian Tian who woke up beside Tianzhen and Lady Xing had no idea that someone was coming after him.
The man was enjoying life and some fucking weird ass emperor took his existence personally.
Chirp! Chirp!
He lightly stretches his body while the sound of birds rings melodiously to his ears. Your journey continues with m v|l -NovelFire
It was a beautiful day.
He walks out of the bed and looks at his erect dick.
Him and his brother had woken up tall and proud.
"Yaiiiiii!!! I feel dried up..." He said jokingly while he looked at Lady Xing and Tianzhen, both receiving multiple of his creampie yesterday night.
Gosh! It was not so tiring all thanks to his cultivation but dang, going all night made him a little less tasteful.
Perhaps he needed more women to fuck on different styles.
Anyway,
He walked out of his residence since he is the sect master of the blooming sect now.
"Sect Master... Sect Master... Sect MastERRRR! SECT MASTERRRR!!!"
while he was making his way to the headquarter he suddenly heard someone shouting on top of their lungs.
"Haah* Haah* Sect Master... Danger! A huge calamity... We have received a letter from the emperor this morning, he isn\'t happy about the Qi-gathering array, and wants us to take responsibility by giving your head as an apology for the imbalance?" a tired elder said while gasping for breath.
"Wh-What!???"
Xian Tian felt a chill run down his spine when he heard the news.1
How could the emperor possibly be dissatisfied with the cultivation array?
It was one of the most important breakthroughs in the cultivation world in recent days, and it had already been widely used to help countless young cultivators in his sect.1
He turned around, his face tight.
"Are you serious? Has the emperor really sent a message demanding for my head?"
"Umm!" The elder nodded, still out of breath.
"Yes, sect master. The message is written by the emperor. It says that he thinks the cultivation array will bring imbalance to the empire and won\'t let other people cultivate peacefully, and that the only way to balance everything out again is for us to offer your head as a sacrifice and destroy the array,"
Heeding this, Xian Tian nodded. It was indeed true, if he absorbs all the spiritual energy here, others are gonna suffer.
But he missed the part where that was his problem.
Xian Tian smirked at the elder\'s concern. He wasn\'t worried at all after hearing the emperor\'s demands.
"Calm yourself, the emperor can\'t be serious," he said dismissively. "He\'s probably just trying to flex his power. There\'s no way he\'ll actually come here to take my head..." Xian Tian said as he believed no way the emperor would take his existence that personally.
"What if the emperor is serious? He had sent a royal degree... And I heard the Imperial army will be arriving here if they don\'t receive your head within 1 day,"
Hah!?
Xian Tian let out a confident laugh, waving a hand dismissively. "The emperor? Demanding my head? How amusing. What does he think this is, some kind of drama?" He shook his head, a smirk playing on his lips.
This makes no sense?
It\'s pretty easy to see through when even Xian Tian can tell without the help of Senior Dragon.
It was clear Emperor was jealous of the Array.
However, sending the imperial army after a sect that is merely a bronze rank? The emperor is seriously a buffoon or a deep thinker who knows how to measure things.
But Xian Tian has no plan to step down, he isn\'t scared of the Emperor and his army.
With a flick of his wrist, he can turn the tide of the battle.
"Tell them; I refuse," was what Xian Tian told the elder.
"B-But," The elder looked a little worried after all, \'I refuse\' is probably the answer that the emperor might not wanna hear.
Haah*
The elder stood in stunned silence with heavy conscious still trying to catch his breath from running.
He had expected Xian Tian to at least consider the emperor\'s demands more seriously. But the sect master\'s carefree refusal hung in the air, as if the imperial decree was nothing more than a fly to be swatted away.
Who even made this person sect master?
"B-But Sect Master…" the elder stammered again, wringing his hands. "What if they really come? The emperor\'s decree is absolute. We cannot—"
Xian Tian cut him off with a sharp wave of his hand like King Baldwin, yeah, his eyes narrowing coldly.
"I said, tell them I refuse... I am not afraid of imperial army not celestial army," he repeated, his voice carrying a dangerous edge now.
Truth be told, he might not be able to defeat celestial army.
"If the emperor truly wishes to send his soldiers, then let him. I\'ll turn this whole empire upside down before I bow to someone as foolish as him... It\'s a joyous season for me and I don\'t wish to shed blood,"
Gulp!
The elder swallowed hard and nodded his head like cartoon character, not daring to question the sect master any further.
He knew Xian Tian\'s power was immense, but this was the emperor\'s army they were talking about.
Could the sect truly hold its own against such a force?
Xian Tian on the other hand however seemed completely unbothered compared to him.
Xian Tian gazed out into the distance, his mind already drifting back to more pleasant thoughts.
It\'s not good to think about war and blood as soon as you wake up.
Not to mention, he had no time to worry about a paranoid emperor when his cultivation was reaching new heights, and when there were more… enjoyable ways to spend his time.
A sly grin crept across his face as he thought of the night before with Lady Xing and Tianzhen.
"Go on, elder," Xian Tian said, flicking his wrist again.
"Tell them. And when the emperor sends his men, I\'ll deal with them personally, also send them a single gold coin saying Donation,"
We doing some trolling ahh moment.
Sending a gold coin to emperor is clear provocation, disrespect beyond measure.
The elder hesitated for a moment longer, but seeing no room for argument, he bowed deeply and scurried off to relay Xian Tian\'s message.
As he disappeared down the path, Xian Tian\'s smile widened.
An emperor who fears a simple array… pathetic truly pathetic.
\'That\'s correct.... \'
he muttered to himself, stretching his arms lazily listening to senior dragon.
He was about to head back to his residence when he felt a subtle shift in the air. His eyes sharpened instantly, his laid-back attitude vanishing in an instant.
A presence. Multiple presences, in fact. And they were close.
He turned toward the mountain path leading into the sect grounds.
Silhouettes began to emerge from the morning mist.... figures clad in dark robes, moving with practiced silence.
Their intentions were clear even from a distance.
Assassins!??
Xian Tian\'s eyes gleamed with excitement rather than fear.
It was time for him to engage in some battle.
However, It also seemed the emperor wasn\'t content with simply sending a letter, maybe someone else send them, everything was a possibility.
"Heh, how considerate," Xian Tian muttered, rolling his shoulders as the first assassin lunged toward him from the shadows, a gleaming blade aimed directly at his throat like in anime.
