Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 579

Chapter 579: Chapter 580: Killed Someone, Are You Afraid? [5/10]

Everything happened too suddenly. Who could have imagined that Wu Tian would so decisively execute the Regent King?

The Royal Palace guards now surrounded Wu Tian, intending to arrest him for his crime. The man who died was the Regent King, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry. Even if King Xiuyuan himself wished for the Regent King’s death, he would still have to publicly demand justice for the Regent’s demise.

"Stop!" City Lord Guang roared, seeing the Royal Palace guards about to seize Wu Tian. The guards froze, looking conflicted.

"City Lord Guang," the lead guard said, "your ancestor rendered a great service to the Xiuyuan Country. The king of that generation decreed that your ancestor and his descendants would be absolved of all crimes, save for rebellion! So, if *you* had killed the Regent King, it would be no issue. But the one who did it was *him*. He... surely he isn’t a member of the Guang Family, is he?"

"Of course not," City Lord Guang shook his head, but he remained firm in his defense of Wu Tian. "This is a matter for the king to decide." He was confident he had a way to exonerate Wu Tian.

The guards frowned. The lead guard had no choice but to say, "I was reluctant to mention this, but I have no choice now. His Majesty discovered a missing page within the Xiuyuan Sword. It was the final, lost page explaining how to master the Great Penetrating Fist. Therefore, His Majesty has entered secluded cultivation, and it is unknown when he will emerge."

"In that case, he will remain in my custody. The rest of you will stay out of this."

City Lord Guang’s voice was filled with authority. He would never dare to speak this way in front of Mei Xinlan; he was thoroughly henpecked. But City Lord Guang felt he had already figured out Wu Tian’s background. He believed Wu Tian was undoubtedly a descendant of the Wutian Celestial Emperor, and the City Lord swore he would protect him, even at the cost of his own life.

"But—"

"No ’buts’! I have the final say on this! We will wait for the king to emerge from his seclusion before any final decision is made!"

With that, City Lord Guang led Wu Tian and his family toward his residence in the Royal City.

"This..." The guards exchanged uneasy glances, all of them frowning. One started to step forward but was stopped by the lead guard. "That’s enough. City Lord Guang is a man of integrity; he won’t let the perpetrator escape. We will wait for His Majesty to emerge from seclusion."

"Yes, sir!" The guards nodded. They knew there was nothing else they could do for now.

The Guang residence in the Royal City was quite large, a gift bestowed upon their ancestor, Guang Changlin, by a previous king. Although the Guang Family no longer lived in the Royal City, the residence was still maintained by servants and maids.

Of course, Wu Tian had no interest in the quality of the residence. He was more interested in when he could enter the Royal Palace to look through its historical archives, and whether something interesting might happen soon. The one thing Wu Tian hated most was boredom.

「Three days later...」

The king had still not emerged from seclusion. Wu Tian was finding life monotonous, so he decided to establish the Heavenless Gate.

The Heavenless Gate was only the beginning. In time, it would become the Wutian Association, the Wutian Divine Gate, and the Wutian Dynasty... culminating in the ultimate Heavenless Immortal Domain! Since the Heavenless Immortal Domain of this world was no more, Wu Tian would simply create a new one.

「Meanwhile...」

Within those three days, news of the Regent King’s murder had spread throughout the entire Xiuyuan Country.

"Have you heard? The Regent King and Wen Zheng went to see the king. Right at the palace gates, they ran into City Lord Guang and another family."

"That family is definitely done for."

"Wrong, you’re wrong. This time, the one in trouble was the Regent King."

"What? The Regent King was in trouble? He’s second only to one and above tens of thousands. Who would dare cause him trouble?"

Yi Ren was stunned. She had never encountered such a situation before. Si’er is so young, and she’s already taken with a man? I must put a stop to this!

How do you make someone give up on another person? You show them the true colors of the one they care about!
