Grand Supervisor Zhuo Qing said, "It seems the Second Prince's information isn't very timely. This is today's report on the Marquis of the West's Mansion."
Xiao Xie's face flashed with embarrassment. As a prince, he was neither a king like Xiao Ruofeng nor had Xiao Ruofeng's strength, becoming a student of the Jixia Academy.
At a young age, he entered the late stage of the Soaring Realm, just one step away from the Great 逍遥 Realm.
To become a king was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
A prince without a kingdom, what power could he have in the palace?
Xiao Xie opened the report and his pupils contracted as he looked at the contents: "General Ye Yu's son, Ye Yun, has entered the Diamond Mortal Realm?"
He was older than Ye Yun, had been cultivating for several years, yet he hadn't even entered the Diamond Mortal Realm!
Zhuo Qing said, "Yes, Ye Yu's son, Ye Yun, is eight years old this year. Back then, Immortal Mo Yi cultivated at six years old and entered the 逍遥 Heavenly Realm at nine. While Ye Yun is eight, he only started cultivating three months ago.
In terms of cultivation speed, he might be on par with Mo Yi back then. The Ye family might soon produce a Military Immortal!"
"Military Immortal?"
"Cultivating for three months and entering the Diamond Mortal Realm!"
Xiao Xie's breathing quickened. Such talent was unheard of and unseen.
"Second Prince, do you know that Xiao Ruofeng will eventually enter the palace? The reason he hasn't entered yet is because he doesn't want to steal the limelight from his elder brother, Xiao Ruojing. Once Xiao Ruojing becomes a king and enters the palace...
...then the two brothers..."
"Bang!"
Xiao Xie said, "Then their arrogance will grow even stronger! Who is it? Who helped Ye Yun break through? And in just three months?"
Grand Supervisor Zhuo Qing replied, "I don't know!"
"You don't know? You are one of the Five Grand Supervisors, the Emperor's right-hand man. You don't know?"
Grand Supervisor Zhuo Qing sighed, "Not only do I not know, but even the so-called Omniscient One from the Hundred Knowledges Hall hasn't figured out who helped the Marquis of the West and his son, and Ye Yun, break through.
However, Second Prince, no matter who it is, Xiao Ruofeng is now a king, and you have been overshadowed. If you don't act... "
"If I don't act, how will I have a chance when it comes to the throne? What should I do? Grand Supervisor, please help me. As long as you are willing to help, I will repay you in the future!"
Grand Supervisor Zhuo Qing smiled slightly, "Your merit lies in the Ye family.
The world is now peaceful. Li Xian from the Jixia Academy, who helped the Tai An Emperor conquer the land, cannot be touched.
The Marquis of the West and his son have just entered the Great 逍遥 Realm, and they hold an army of 300,000, backed by an unknown powerful figure.
They cannot be touched.
That leaves only the Ye family! The Ye family, like the Marquis of the West's Mansion, holds a large army, guarding the nation's borders. But who are they guarding against?
In the Emperor's eyes, it's them who are the enemy!
This is not a time for war and conquest. Therefore, if the Ye family wants military merit, they have to create chaos!
As long as you kill him, relieve the Emperor's worries, I guarantee that the scroll of Kings will bear the name Xiao Xie!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xie clenched his fists, breathing rapidly. To become a King?
He was just one step away. This is a feat worth doing!
"Thank you, Grand Supervisor, for your guidance! However, Ye Yu is not easy to kill!"
"I will have Zhuo Luo help you. You cannot kill the military god, Ye Yu, with your own sword, but you can make the world kill him!"
Xiao Xie's eyes lit up, "I understand. One more thing. I beg the Grand Supervisor, if you find out who is behind the Marquis of the West's Mansion, please let me know!"
Zhuo Qing nodded slightly, "Of course!"
After making all the arrangements, Grand Supervisor Zhuo Qing went to the imperial study and stood beside the Emperor.
Tai An Emperor's expression had softened somewhat, "The Marquis of the West and Ye Yu were my sworn brothers back in the day. I know their capabilities very well!
To cause such a commotion, they don't have the power yet. There must be someone powerful behind them!
Go investigate. Not a single blade of grass in the Marquis of the West's Mansion should be spared. Be sure to find out who it is and kill them!"
"Yes, Your Majesty. You have been considering the Ye family for a long time. I think it's time to act. Ye Yun has such talent, surpassing even his father, Ye Yu. If he joins forces with the Marquis of the West in the future..."
Tai An Emperor softened his gaze, "So?"
"Therefore, I just went to see the Second Prince and told him about the Ye family..."
Tai An Emperor, satisfied, picked up his teacup, "Since that's the case, let's see what happens. The second son has reached the age to be crowned a king."
Ye Yun rode his steed, galloping all the way back to the General's Mansion.
"Father, Father, I've entered the Diamond Mortal Realm!"
Ye Yu exclaimed, "What?"
Ye Yun rushed into the study, his hand holding a long sword. He unsheathed it, and a burst of true qi erupted, knocking down the wooden door.
"Father, this is the Moonlight Sword Art my Master taught me. He also taught me how to cultivate, how to break through realms. I've now entered the Diamond Mortal Realm!
Father, Master also said that I will definitely become a Sword Immortal in the future. I don't know what kind of Sword Immortal I'll become, but I've named myself the Moon Sword Immortal!"
Ye Yu was astonished to see Ye Yun's realm. He hadn't neglected Ye Yun's cultivation, and Ye Yun's aptitude was indeed much better than his, but not to this extreme.
Entering the Diamond Mortal Realm in three months was comparable to the talent of the Hall Master of the Hundred Knowledges Hall, Immortal Mo Yi!
"Xiao Yun, you said you learned all your cultivation from your Master?"
"Yes, it's Mr. Su. He may look like a simple scholar, but he taught me how to practice swordplay in my mind. I learned how to cultivate while reading, so my progress was rapid.
Master said that as long as I keep working hard and don't slack off, I will definitely reach the Great 逍遥 Realm before the age of fifteen!"
Ye Yu was shocked, "Who is this Mr. Su?
What is his strength?"
"Mr. Su is Mr. Su. He doesn't have any strength. He's just a scholar! But Mr. Su is invincible!"
"A scholar?"
Ye Yu was baffled. Could there be such a scholar in the world? He doesn't have any cultivation realm but can guide others to break through.
"Yes, I heard from the Eastern Lord that the Marquis of the West and his son entered the Great 逍遥 Realm because of Mr. Su too! But Father, you have to keep it a secret."
Ye Yu was even more shocked. This Mr. Su, he actually had such abilities?
Ye Yu was eager to go to the Marquis of the West's Mansion, but at that moment, Li Huo, from the Marquis of the West's side, appeared at the Ye family:
"General Ye, the old Marquis said that it was all thanks to Young Master Ye Yun's good fortune. There's no need to make a fuss about it.
There are so many eyes watching now. Please keep Mr. Su's identity a secret!"
Ye Yu said, "Okay, tell the Marquis of the West that I understand!"
In the Marquis of the West's Mansion, Bai Lichengfeng felt uneasy, "Father, the rumors outside are not good. They are spreading rumors like 'He who controls the Hundred Miles controls the world,' and they are saying that whoever the Marquis of the West's Mansion wants to enter the Great 逍遥 Realm can enter the Great 逍遥 Realm."
The Marquis of the West said, "These rumors are probably spread by those with ill intentions. From now on, the Marquis of the West's Mansion and the Ye family are in danger.
Let's go, let's visit Mr. Su's courtyard!"
