Emperor Bahuang’s subordinate reacted quickly, but Qi Tian had never given him a chance from the start. His pair of high-quality Wolf Teeth Knives had dispatched the subordinate in an instant, claiming his life. The magic artifact he had sent out for help was entangled by the Transporting Whirlwind, forcefully dragged into the storage room of the Heavenly Dao Engine and soon it would become fuel for the Heavenly Dao Engine.

Qi Tian thought he had acted swiftly, eliminating any possibility of message leakage immediately, but at that moment, Emperor Bahuang sitting in the main hall had his expression drastically change. On his wrist was a string of beads, and just now, a bead the size of a grape had suddenly shattered. This bead was no mere ornament but a magic artifact with a sliver of that subordinate’s life force imprint on it. As the subordinate was killed, the life force imprint could no longer be maintained, causing the bead to break apart.

That subordinate of his had just left the main hall, and from beginning to end, less than half a minute had passed. It was impossible for someone to leave the Yonghe Palace in such a short time, meaning his subordinate had been killed inside the Yonghe Palace.

Emperor Bahuang recalled the message his subordinate had sent him; he had been somewhat dismissive at the time, but still, out of caution, he had ordered his subordinate to leave the Yonghe Palace and go to Bahuang Palace for reinforcements to come and protect him. Emperor Bahuang had never expected that in such a short time, his subordinate would be killed.

Emperor Bahuang clenched his teeth secretly, eyeing Emperor Yonghe who was still jovial nearby, wishing he could rush up and harshly slap him several times. However, Emperor Bahuang quickly suppressed this impulse, knowing that Emperor Yonghe wouldn’t have made a move within Yonghe Palace without being fully prepared. At this time, what he should do was figure out a way to escape from Yonghe Palace rather than retaliating out of anger against Emperor Yonghe. Besides, with Emperor Yonghe prepared, it was not the best choice to try to beat or take Emperor Yonghe hostage at this moment, as the likelihood of success was not high.

Emperor Bahuang rubbed his head, pretending to be overwhelmed by alcohol, he stood up and said, “Yonghe, it’s getting late. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed our drinking session, but all good things must come to an end. I think we should stop here for today. Later, I will hold a banquet at Bahuang Palace and return the favor. Yonghe, you mustn’t refuse, and surely grant me the honor.”

Emperor Yonghe chuckled and said, “Bahuang, we’ve barely started drinking, and I am far from satisfied, as I believe are you. Come, come, I still have several jars of treasured wine here, and today we’ll bring them all out. We shall not return until we’re drunk.”

How could Emperor Bahuang possibly stay any longer? He waved his hands repeatedly, saying, “No more drinking, no more. I truly can’t drink anymore. Come, Xiangyun, my head is starting to ache, the alcohol here at Emperor Yonghe’s is really strong, and I can hardly hold up. Help me back to the palace.”

Xiangyun was the name of the only remaining subordinate by Emperor Bahuang’s side, full name Li Xiangyun, with a cultivation of the Seventh Level of the Gold Core Realm. In the Eastern Capital City, this level of cultivation was already quite high. Not only that, Emperor Bahuang trusted Li Xiangyun exceptionally, bestowing upon him two half-step Nascent Soul level magic artifacts and another artifact above the half-step Nascent Soul level. With these artifacts, Li Xiangyun’s combat power was tremendously strong; he could fight a Ninth Level of Gold Core Realm cultivator without any pressure and, in extreme circumstances, could even battle a half-step Nascent Soul level cultivator without defeat.

At this moment, Emperor Bahuang had only such a guard by his side, and he needed Li Xiangyun’s strength to leave the Yonghe Palace as quickly as possible.

Li Xiangyun quickly rushed to Emperor Bahuang’s side, offering his arm to support him, and said, “Prince, I will escort you out of the palace right away.”

Emperor Yonghe’s expression immediately darkened as he said, “Bahuang, if you insist on leaving, you are disrespecting me.”

Emperor Bahuang mumbled indistinctly, “It’s not a matter of disrespect, I simply can’t handle my liquor. We’ll drink again another time. Xiangyun, what are you waiting for? My head is about to explode, hurry and help me to leave.”

Li Xiangyun was, after all, a subordinate to Emperor Bahuang, and with a clear order given, he naturally supported Emperor Bahuang and started walking towards the exit of the main hall.

Seeing Emperor Bahuang about to leave, Emperor Yonghe quickly got up from his seat, hurried a few steps forward, and reached out to grab Emperor Bahuang. Emperor Bahuang was now the prince Emperor Yonghe hated the most. If it wasn’t for Emperor Bahuang inciting him and selling him that rod-class combat weapon, he wouldn’t have offended Qi Tian and ended up as Qi Tian’s Immortal Slave. Beyond his own hatred, Emperor Bahuang was also the prince Qi Tian specifically wanted to be kept. After much effort, Emperor Yonghe had lured Emperor Bahuang into his Yonghe Palace, and if Emperor Bahuang were to slip away, he would have no way to explain to Qi Tian.

Emperor Yonghe was one of the six princes in the Eastern Capital City, and his status was not to be questioned. Not only did he personally try to retain the guest, but he also personally came over to pull them, not letting them leave. If it were someone else, how could they possibly refuse Emperor Yonghe’s hospitality? But Emperor Bahuang was a prince himself, and since he had already sensed danger, how could he possibly choose to stay?
