2577 Chapter 2,468: taking the bait
The gray-robed young man was dumbfounded.
When did he say that he would remember her?
However, in the Heaven Awaken Palace’s teleportation hall, he met a nobody who didn’t know when to advance or retreat and only threatened him.
“It’s good that you’ve forgotten about it. Follow me,”the hooded woman said indifferently.
The gray-robed young man’s eyes flashed as he obediently followed the woman’s footsteps.
However, just as the woman turned around, he suddenly crushed a spatial talisman.
A huge spatial fluctuation radiated out from within and swept the gray-robed young man away.
“Hehe! It would be strange if I followed you…”the gray-robed young man sneered.
However, he could not laugh in the next moment.
The hooded woman pressed down with her finger across space and actually suppressed the spatial fluctuation, preventing him from teleporting.
At the same time, she slowly exerted force with her finger, causing the spatial fluctuations to show signs of tearing.
The gray-robed young man, who was in the middle, was so frightened that he immediately jumped out.
Otherwise, he would be torn apart by the distorted spatial fluctuations.
The hooded woman said with a faint smile, “What did you say just now?”
The gray-robed young man’s face was like a pig’s liver as he stuttered, “I mean, I should follow you!”
“That’s right, you should just follow me!”The bamboo hat lady smiled faintly and turned around to leave.
The gray-robed young man’s heart was beating rapidly. Just what cultivation level was this bamboo hat lady in front of him at?
She should at least be at the level of a tunnel master, right?
In front of this lady, he did not have any room to resist.
Therefore, he could only obediently follow the bamboo hat lady back.
Furthermore, it was the place that the gray-robed young man was most unwilling to go to.
Empress Palace!
“Let’s go. I’ll bring you to meet someone.”The hooded woman grabbed his arm with one hand.
After the world spun, the two of them appeared in the courtyard of the Empress Palace.
Su Yu, the empress, and the emissary were among them.
When the emissary saw the gray-robed young man, his eyelids trembled violently.
He forcefully suppressed his guilty expression and said in a serious manner, “Empress Starry Rain, what are you doing?”
Actually, Empress starry rain did not understand either.
She turned her gaze to Su Yu.
“Nothing much. It’s just that my people caught a criminal who took away Empress’s nine serenities crystal.”
As he spoke, the hooded woman swept her finger across the gray-robed young man’s body and immediately searched for a spatial storage device.
That storage device was the one that the empress had just taken away.
Empress Starry Rain snatched it over in one go. She was shocked and furious. “Who ordered you to do this?”
The gray-robed youth avoided her gaze and did not say a word.
The hooded woman chuckled and slapped her head. A memory image popped up in her mind and was projected into the air.
The memory was reversed.
From being captured by the woman outside the city, to making a deal with the masked Daoist master, to the person who described himself as great emperor Shao Hao.
If she went any further, she would be seen colluding with the emissary.
“Enough!”The emissary immediately stopped him.
Cold Sweat was already dripping down his forehead.
Colluding with outsiders to rob a sovereign’s descendant of the Netherworld Crystal.
This was a crime that would wipe out nine races.
Once it was confirmed, not only would he die, but his family, relatives, and descendants would all die.
Under the cover of his wide official robes, his body was already trembling.
Su Yu said indifferently, “Why, does the envoy have something to say?”
The envoy said with a stern expression, “You clearly lost the Netherworld Crystal, but you used a fake to deceive me. I want to report this to the ruler!”
Empress starry rain was not stupid. Her eyes narrowed.
The memory projection had already confirmed that it was Emperor Shao Hao who had ordered people to rob her of the Netherworld Crystal.
However, the emissary in front of her turned a blind eye to this.
Instead, he caught her and Su Yu cheating him by using a pre-prepared spatial storage device.
However, Empress Star Rain was smart enough not to interrupt.
This was Su Yu’s plan and he should be the one who understood it the most. It was best for him not to interrupt and disrupt his steps.
Su Yu said indifferently, “If I don’t deceive him, how will the emissary have the patience to wait for us to catch the real suspect?”
He was afraid that he could not wait to report Empress Star Rain’s second mistake to the ruler.
The emissary’s cold expression remained. “HMPH! Deceiving the emissary is considered to be deceiving the ruler. You Won’t be able to escape death!”
He acted as if he wanted to continue reporting.
Su Yu sneered. “I gave you face, yet you’re still so Shameless!”
The moment she finished speaking, the hooded woman released the gray-robed youth’s memory projection once again.
This scene was indeed the scene of the gray-robed young man and the emissary hiding in the dark in collusion.
The details of the conversation were clear at a glance.
Empress starry rain widened her eyes, filled with murderous intent. “Men!”
Several Earth Dao Masters rushed over in unison. “Please instruct the Empress!”
“This person colluded with criminals and robbed the descendants of the ruler. capture him alive immediately and hand him over to the ruler for punishment!”
Shua —
The emissary was immediately pressed to the ground in front of the tunnel master.
It was only at this moment that he finally revealed his fear. shivering, he said, “Empress, spare me. Spare me.”
Empress starry rain laughed angrily.
Why did he not shed tears until he saw the coffin?
This emissary was!
The gray-robed young man had already been captured, yet he still dared to flaunt his might in front of him and try to muddle through!
He really did not know what was good for him!
“Take him away!”Empress Starry Rain was extremely furious.
“Wait!”Su Yu intervened to stop her.
Empress Starry Rain’s beautiful brows were similar. “Why? He’s so audacious that he even dares to have designs on me!”
Su Yu said indifferently, “Let me ask you first. Can you contact the ruler?”
Empress starry rain nodded affirmatively. “Yes, we can have a direct conversation once a year.”
“Alright!”
Only then did he look at the emissary. “I’ll give you and your nine clans a chance to live.”
He tried to lie on the ground and pleaded, “Please speak.”
Su Yu waved his hand and recorded the projection.
Of course, the part of the emissary and the gray-robed youth’s conspiracy was temporarily cut off and stored in Su Yu’s palm.
As long as Empress Starrain used the yearly opportunity to send this projection over, the emissary and his nine clans would definitely suffer extermination.
“Send the projection of Emperor Shao Hao framing Empress Starrain to the ruler,”Su Yu said calmly.
He could have directly destroyed the emissary and the gray-robed youth.
The reason he went through all this trouble was to give Shao Hao some trouble so that he wouldn’t be too idle and keep targeting Empress Starrain.
“No! Shaohao will definitely kill me!”The emissary trembled.
He simply could not imagine what would happen if he reported Shaohao personally.
With Shaohao’s blind character, he would definitely turn him into ashes.
“I can also wipe out all nine of your clans.”Su Yu waved the memory projection in his hand.
The emissary’s face was pale as he kowtowed continuously and begged for mercy. “Please, Your Majesty, Please, Young Master, spare me. I have a high court, but I have…”
Su Yu did not waver as he passed the projection to Empress Starry Rain. “Pass it on to your father.”
When the emissary framed the Empress, why didn’t he think about her future?
Without the position of empress, Empress Starry Rain would not be able to live for long.
Why did he ask others to think about his clansmen?
If he really cared about his clansmen, he should not have gotten himself involved in this mess.
He did not love his own people, but others to love?
There is no such reason in the world!
