Amongst the six princes of Eastern Capital City, aside from Emperor Wu and Emperor Jianwu, the remaining four princes stood together, subtly acknowledging Emperor Chaoyang as their leader, and at this moment, they all gathered around him.

During Qi Tian’s tribulation, Emperor Chaoyang and the others had been staring fixedly at the Tribulation Clouds, unable to see Qi Tian’s figure clearly. However, they were extremely familiar with Eastern Capital City. Even though they didn’t know what Qi Tian was doing, they could accurately determine his location.

In the beginning, when Qi Tian was undergoing tribulation over the skies of Jianwu Palace, the four princes didn’t say much. They knew full well the destructive power of the tribulation wasn’t small and that buildings in the vicinity of Qi Tian would inevitably be destroyed. Before the tribulation began, they had tacitly allowed their subordinates to jointly attack Jianwu Palace, making them sworn enemies with it. Hence, seeing Jianwu Palace devastated by the Heavenly Tribulation and reduced to ruins would not cause them any heartache, let alone feelings of guilt; instead, they would take pleasure in Jianwu Palace’s misfortune.

What they hadn’t expected was for the Heavenly Tribulation Qi Tian faced to be so formidable, one wave after another with no end in sight. What they found most unacceptable was that Qi Tian didn’t stay put in Jianwu Palace but kept moving locations, first Jianwu Palace, then Wenzhi Palace.

When Emperor Wenzhi, judging by the location where the Tribulation Thunders struck, realized that Qi Tian had moved above his palace, he almost lost his composure and cursed aloud. As he watched the Tribulation Thunders fall, his heart bled. He did not know the specifics of Qi Tian’s tribulation, but he could guess that his palace would be greatly damaged during Qi Tian’s tribulation, with no idea how many buildings would be destroyed when the Heavenly Tribulation struck.

Emperor Wenzhi clenched his fists and swore secretly if Qi Tian was lucky enough to survive, he would personally take action to let Qi Tian understand the price of undergoing tribulation above his palace. He would make Qi Tian regret ever existing in this world.

After Emperor Wenzhi, it was soon Emperor Chaoyang’s turn. All the princes couldn’t believe their eyes as they watched everything unfold. Emperor Chaoyang stood above them all in strength, and in normal times, nobody dared to challenge his dignity. They never imagined that after destroying one Wenzhi Palace, Qi Tian would have the gall to target Chaoyang Palace as well.

Emperor Huoyang watched, dumbfounded, as he spoke in disbelief, “Jianwu, why does Qi Tian keep moving around like this? Is he trying to avoid the tribulation’s assault using this method, or is it deliberate? Could it be that he knows you were wronged, so he’s taking advantage of this tribulation to seek justice for you?”

Emperor Jianwu was also unclear about Qi Tian’s intentions, but of course, he had to speak on Qi Tian’s behalf at this time. He said, “If you were being pursued by a demon beast you couldn’t defeat while out on adventures, wouldn’t you tuck your tail and run? Maybe Qi Tian is trying to dodge the Heavenly Tribulation this way. Yes, it must be so.”

Emperor Bahuang stood next to Emperor Chaoyang, his Bahuang Palace closely adjoining Emperor Huoyang’s Huoyang Palace. Seeing the trajectory of Qi Tian’s movement, he didn’t have to worry about his Bahuang Palace being destroyed. He said, “Chaoyang, your Chaoyang Palace is the jewel of Eastern Capital City. Qi Tian really has audacity, daring to think of harnessing the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to destroy your Chaoyang Palace. It’s outrageous, and his crime deserves punishment. Once the tribulation ends, I will certainly not stand idly by. I will personally lead men to capture Qi Tian and then hand him over for you to deal with.”

Emperor Chaoyang’s face showed no signs of panic, and there was no anger in his voice as he spoke calmly, “There’s no need for you to trouble yourselves. Since Qi Tian dares to target my palace, I will make sure he learns his lesson. If he dares to cause trouble in my Chaoyang Palace, he should be prepared to stay in Chaoyang Palace forever, never able to leave.”

Emperor Bahuang was startled by his words and quickly added, “We have never faced Qi Tian, but judging from the way he’s undergoing tribulation, we can tell the youth has strength, talent, and is very slippery. If you want to keep him in Chaoyang Palace, it won’t be easy unless you are in the palace right now. Otherwise, he is likely to continue moving around, using the subsequent tribulations to harm Chaoyang Palace and then our palaces. We’re really in trouble this time, coming across such a person, decades or centuries of hard work could be ruined instantly.”

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Emperor Chaoyang’s mouth as he said, “I said if Qi Tian enters my Chaoyang Palace, he will never be able to leave, and that will be the case. If you don’t believe me, just watch and see if Qi Tian will turn into a puddle of liquid, serving as fertilizer for those plants and flowers.”

Emperor Bahuang and the other three princes looked somewhat incredulous, but they all knew that Emperor Chaoyang did not boast. What Emperor Chaoyang said usually became reality. This time, Emperor Chaoyang said Qi Tian would never be able to leave Chaoyang Palace, which meant, based on past experience, Qi Tian might indeed be kept there forever. But the situation seemed a bit mysterious today because the Heavenly Tribulation was so fierce, both Tribulation Thunder and Tribulation Wind, and from their knowledge of Emperor Chaoyang, it was unlikely he could control such a tribulation. So, why did Emperor Chaoyang have such firm confidence that he could detain Qi Tian?
